jschlatt imagines

sleepless

a sigh escaped your lips as you realized you had been lying wide awake in bed for the last four hours trying your best to go to sleep. you hadn't moved in what felt like forever, the only thing that kept you from thinking that you had sleep paralysis being schlatt's constant shifts and turns that caused you to move a little as well.

you looked at the sleeping brunette beside of you in pure envy. you were jealous of how well schlatt was able to sleep.

god, i will never understand how he does it.

soft snores escaped his lips as you looked back up at the ceiling. your mind just couldn't turn off for the night no matter what you did. as 4 A.M. approached, you closed your eyes and tried to think of something else you could do that might help you finally go to sleep.

you finally decided to go for a late night/very early morning walk to tire you out a little bit.

your first task was to get out of bed without waking your boyfriend up in the process. this was quite difficult, as schlatt had both arms around your waist and had his chest pressed up against your back. you decided that the best course of action would be to slowly move his arms away from you and slide out of the bed. as you were sliding out, the bed frame let out a loud creak. your heart stopped as you looked over to schlatt who only slightly turned over at the sound. you sighed.

success.

as you tiptoed your way to the closet to get some warmer clothes on, you looked out of the window to your left and gazed at the sight of the city at night. your lips curled into a smile as you pulled out schlatt's operation desert storm sweatshirt and a pair of your favorite joggers from the closet. after quietly slipping them on, you tiptoed into schlatt's recording room to see if he had any post-it notes.

you found some in a desk drawer and quickly wrote a little message for schlatt in case he woke up before you were back.

hey hon! i couldn't sleep so i went out for a little early morning walk. i'll be back soon. i have my phone with me so if you need anything just call or text me. love you lots!

you tried to figure out the best place to put the post-it note and decided to put it on the frame of the bedroom door where schlatt could see it if he got up. after you stuck it, you lightly kissed your boyfriend's forehead and quietly walked out the door.

the chilly early morning air hit you almost immediately and you were glad you thought to put on some warmer clothes before heading out.

you were about two blocks away from the apartment when you saw the lit-up sign for your favorite late night diner that you often went to when you had to pull all-nighters and decided to go in and get a hot cup of tea to try and calm down.

as you walked in and heard that familiar chime, you instantly felt a sense of peace wash over you. you walked over to your normal booth as a kind middle-aged lady made her way over to you.

"my oh my, you look exhausted," the server said with a caring look on her face.

you chuckled. "yeah, i am. just can't seem to get to sleep, though," you replied. "can i just have my usual? no pie tonight, though. just the tea," you asked, looking up at the kind lady above you.

"absolutely. i'll take the order back right now," she said with a smile as she wrote the order down and walked away.

you decided to scroll through your social medias for a little bit to pass the time. you liked and retweeted some things, replied to random messages your friends had sent, and saved a few memes to your camera roll. before you knew it, the server was back with your cup of tea.
