Chapter Text
The longest you’ve ever gone without sleep is probably about three days…Four…Five..Ok maybe a whole week, but that’s not the point here. The point is that you’ve been up in your ass with work since the start of the semester and you haven’t slept since Monday.
Today is Thursday.
But today was the day that you were going to finally sleep. You’ve had enough with spilling your coffee on other people and hallucinating your neighborhood cat in the student bathrooms. Enough was enough. You needed a good night’s sleep and tonight was the night.
It was sad, really, that you were up in your ears with homework and tests and thought a normal human need was a luxury. But such is life as a university kid.
Currently, though, you were in stuck in a lecture. It was already 6 pm and you could feel your body shaking from the caffeine and lack of sleep. A girl next to you looked about the same only she had the chance to put a bit of make up on so she didn’t look as bad. How she had the energy to dab on a bit of make up when on the same sleep cycle as you was a mystery. But apparently she had a day more of sleep than you when she turned to you to tell you that your left eye was twitching uncontrollably. You, still dazed from the mindless lecture, had to turn to her and ask her to repeat what she said.
“Um, your eye’s been twitching for the past two minutes…Just wanted to let you know.”
Your eyes snapped open and shakily blinked your eyes while muttering a thanks. The girl just hummed and turned back to daze while you rubbed your eyes and blinked. ‘God this needs to end soon.’ you thought.
“Dismissed.”
And just as you thought it your teacher had dismissed you. You groaned in happiness and shrugged all of your notebooks into your bag. The girl next to you had darted even faster than you, but due to the lack of sleep you were a tad bit slow. Eventually, you were packed and you rushed to your car as fast as you could to get the hell out of there. Before…
“(Y/N)?”
Goddammit!
You rolled your eyes before turning around to your name being called. Your car was only inches away and you had already unlocked it. You were tempted to just jump in and speed off instead of answering someone, but you had a reputation for being a good person and you didn’t want to risk it.
It was a boy from the class you were in. He was running after you and panting a bit with your notebooks in hand. You looked at him with a dead look before he caught his breath and handed the notebooks out to you.
“Y-You forgot y-your notebooks.” he panted. You nearly snatched them from his hands making him wince in surprise, but you tucked them under your arm and nodded. “Thanks i’ll see you tomorrow.” you droned.
“W-Wait!”
Great. What now?
You turned to him with a forced smile, “what’s up?”
“O-Oh I…Just wanted to know maybe if you wanted to go grab a drink. There’s no school tomorrow so I figured-“
“I’m actually really busy tonight. Goodbye.” It was rude but it had to be done. Damn straight you were busy tonight, you were busy locking your apartment up, putting on some smooth jazz and heading the hell to sleep.
The boy looked like he wanted to speak again, but you had already jumped into your car. You didn’t even know the name of this kid and he wanted to take you out for some drinks? Pssh. Yeah right. Even if it was free you wouldn’t even go with him; you value your mental health more than a couple of drinks a drunken boy telling you his blues. Whatever, kid.
You were dazed by the road nearly falling asleep on the wheel until the view of your apartment was in your midst and you nearly sped past the gate and into the parking lot of your humble abode. The only thing you had to do now was get in your parking spot.
Which was currently occupied?
You couldn’t tell if it was your tired hallucinations getting to you again or if something was actually there. You groaned and flashed your headlights at him so you could see it better. There was a man standing frigid with an unruly violet mane, huge muscles and a loin cloth. His hand was pushed out in a ‘stop’ and he was screaming something at you. You blinked again rapidly, “I must be seeing this.” But the man continued to yell incoherently and unfolded a large scythe only to slam it against your car causing a large dent in your car hood.
“Hey!” You yelled out coming out of your door and pointing at the car hood. “You gonna fix that, asshole?”
The man was quite…Large. In fact a lot larger than he looked from the inside of your car and you were immediately regretted even coming out. His scarlet red eyes glared down at you as he unstuck the arm scythe from the dent. You took a better look at him and realized he didn’t quite look normal. He was about seven feet with dark skin and a handsomely chiseled threatening face. He looked to be of Hispanic descent but you couldn’t quite tell from the darkness of the night.
“Pitiful human do you wish to die?”
You gulped but stood your ground and ignored his question, “Hell you better fix that before you die!”
His nostrils flared and he slammed the arm scythe against the pillar that separated the apartment cars. “ENOUGH- I do not wish to play games with you scum. Where is Joseph Joestar?”
“Who?”
This angered him even more. “Human if you value your life you will tell me where Joseph Joestar is at once, or I will slit your throat and paint this concrete floor with your blood.”
You rolled your eyes and crossed your arms in a stand off position. This guy must be crazy. “Look buddy, if I knew who Joseph Joestar was i’d tell him to pay you your money but I have no idea who that is so could you just kindly get out of my way so I can park and go to bed? You probably had a rough night so consider the dent never even happening. Deal?”
The man…Or thing paused for a moment. His dark eyes glaring up and down at you with curiosity and anger. His panting evened and a sly look crossed his face. “I will choose to believe you for now, but in exchange you will do me a favor…”
