"Totally, see you soon." Liam said as he watched Kasey leave his apartment.

Kasey sighed as she stepped across the hall and entered her own apartment. Harper was still gone, so she decided to just feed her pet and head off to bed.

(Speaking of bed, I'm practically falling asleep here, so I'm going to go to sleep now. Lol.)

(Aha, all good. Seeya!)

Liam sighed and ran his hand through his hair, heading to his computer to check his emails and work on a couple songs before he went to sleep. About an hour or so later, he stumbled to his room and fell asleep.

Kasey shot up in her bed, breathing heavily and eyes wide. She shook a bit, though whether that was from the sudden cold of no longer being under her blankets or from her nightmare, she couldn't tell.

The voice had plagued her even in her sleep, speaking in its breathy way directly into her ear. She shuddered at the memory.

With a glance at her clock, she saw that she would have to get up in fifteen minutes, anyway. She decided to just get up and start to get ready.

Liam had been completely wiped out the entire night, being mentally and physically exhausted to do anything but sleep. It wasn't until Mortem kept meowing and pushing for him to feed him, did he reluctantly groan and get up.

Wearing nothing but his sweatpants, he ran a hand though his mess of hair and fed his cat, nearly falling sleep standing there. Once that was done, he collapsed on the couch and back asleep there.

Kasey dressed in her work clothes and made sure she had everything she would need to go to school later. Once she was fully dressed and ready to go, she fed Quake and petted her for a while.

Harper must have gone to sleep in the guest room because he wasn't on the couch. His stuff was piled by the door, though, indicating that he was home. Kasey looked at it with an amused smile, wondering when he had gotten in.

Liam woke up restless an hour later and finally decided it best to take some pain killers. Even though he didn't want to, he did, reluctantly. While he was up he booked himself a hair dressers appointment as well as a doctors appointment.

He yawned and walked over to his computer to work, even if it was the last thing he wanted to do.

With a sigh, Kasey realized that she should probably start heading to work. If she was late again, she was sure her manager wouldn't be too happy about it. She left Harper a note on the fridge reminding him where she'd gone, then started toward her car.

(Did I ever say where she works?)

(Uh… maybe…? Not that I can remember)

Liam got about half a report written and half a song edited before he, once more passed out at the desk, his music playing softly out of the speakers as he slept. He handn't a single clue on why he was so tired, maybe it was because of the lack of sleep the last few nights or his body recovering, he didn't know.

(…me neither…)

Unaware of her boyfriend's sleeping problem, Kasey headed to work at a little cafe on the corner of the street. It was just down the block from the apartment building, so she walked there rather than drove.

Once there, she clocked in, threw an apron on, and started helping customers. Her manager seemed relieved that she was actually there, not only on time, but early.

Kasey didn't like being late for work, but most days she didn't have a choice. Crime didn't care about her schedule, after all.

Liam woke up a little whiles later and headed to shower, only to pull on the same pants he was wearing before. He headed out to grab a drink of water and gulped it down. Once down he sat down to watch some TV.

Kasey finished her five-hour shift and grabbed something for lunch. She ate on her way to her car, making sure that she got to her 12:30 class on time.

Liam spent most of the morning and afternoon sleeping and watching a show on netfilx called Voltron. Despite actually liking the show, he kept dozing off but forced himself to stay awake through most of the episodes he watched.

Kasey arrived at the college and started toward her first class. When she walked in, nearly everyone looked exhausted, even though it was already the middle of the day. She smiled a bit and shrugged to herself as she took a seat.

(Everyone's exausted… just like Liam… and me)

Liam yawned and pulled out his phone just to scroll through social media. Nothing interesting so he shrugged and put his phone away, flicking the TV from Voltron to Death In Paradise.

(Lol. If you need to go to sleep, go ahead. I have to start school soon, anyway.)

Once that class was over, Kasey made her way to the next class. She had to get there quickly, practically running to the room. The class stared only five minutes after her last class, and she always wondered why she'd taken that option rather than the one an hour later.

(I'll be going in a min but I can stay for a lil longer)

Liam sighed and spread himself out on the couch, sketching a girl that resembled Kasey in his notebook as his gaze flicked from the TV to the paper to back to the TV. He sighed and continued drawing.

(All right, cool. If I disappear it's because I went to start school.)

Finally, about an hour and a half later, Kasey was done with her classes for the day. She sighed and started toward her car, thoroughly exhausted from her long day.

A few minutes later, she arrived at her apartment and dropped her stuff next to the door. She made her way to the kitchen to grab a snack, then fed Quake and went to her room, where she took a short nap.

(okay)

Liam hummed to himself, his leg swinging back and forth as he drew and tried to solve the murder cases on the show with no luck every time. Except one but that was pure luck then skill.

(Remind me not to hire Liam for a detective case. Lol. :P
They still haven't technically had their first date… Huh.)

After waking up about an hour later, Kasey went back to the kitchen for more food. While the topic was on her mind, she realized that Liam still hadn't taken her on an official date. She wondered about it as she sat down to eat a bowl of cereal.

(Yeah… hm….)

Liam sighed a gave up a couple hours later and a thought occurred to him. Date… I could take Kasey for a date. After everything that had happened he completely forgot about it. Picking up his phone, he called Kasey.

Kasey dropped her bowl in the sink with a loud clatter as her phone went off, causing her heart rate to rise at least twenty bpm. She picked it up from the counter and smiled when she saw Liam's name on the caller ID.

"Hey! I was just thinking about you," she greeted him.

"Nothing bad I hope," Liam laughed a little, "Anyway, so I uh… I was wondering if you… if you wanted to go on a proper date with me?"

"Oh, yeah! Of course! When?" Kasey asked, grinning.

"How about tomorrow night at 7?" Liam bit his lip.
