Midnight with you.

Jake x mc

Putting an insomniac hacker to bed isn't an easy task as mc came to believe.

First thing mc tried to educate him on the importance of sleep over the phone sending him articles, screenshots, videos, but it didn't seem to work as she would text him few hours after midnight and he is still there.

Second try, mc tried to help him manage his time, maybe he has so much to do that he had no time to sleep..

____________________________________________

Mc : what are you so busy with lately ?

Jake : for now I'm setting up my equipment in a different location.

Mc : um.. Jake.. isn't this usually a secret kind of info?

Jake : in case anyone reading our chat ?

Jake : I guarantee you, it's so unlikely to happen.

Mc : okay so when are you going to do that ?

Jake : by morning I will reach the new location, but please mc, you can sleep.

Jake : you don't have to keep me company that late, picking up my bad habbits won't do you any good.

Mc : but !

Jake : No.

Mc : look, you really need some help with time management, you can tell me your plans and I can help you organize them for you.

Jake : why ? Everything is working just fine.

Mc : just fine? You barely get any sleep !

Jake : don't worry, you get some sleep.

Mc : Jake ..

Jake : goodnight mc, you need not worry about me.

<Jake is now offline>

Mc : 🙄

__________________________________________

Saying third time is the charm, mc tried again.

This time she prepared everything for the sole purpose of getting him to sleep few decent hours at least.

Dimming the lights, big dinner, warming some milk, setting up the right room temperature, fluffing up the pillows and spraying a little bit of lavender essential oil on them and a warm bath, mc vowed that today would be the day this hacker gets some sleep.

Usually, when mc invites him over, he would stay around for a movie, sometimes dinner but never too long, not this time though.

_____________________________________________

Jake : I have brought the movie you picked with me.

Mc : cool !

Jake : also a little something I hope you like.

Mc : awwww Jake 💖

Jake : ;)

_____________________________________________

The movie was boring, Jake barely kept his eyes open, it was all going according to plan, mc picked this movie specifically for this.

" oh thank you" said Jake, as mc gave a mug of warm milk and honey and came back to cuddle with him, it felt so nice and comfy he could feel himself getting even more sleepy, that's when he suddenly stood up.

" hey what's wrong? "

" it's getting late.., I have to go " he said looking at his backpack by the table.

" you know you can stay the night, right ?"

" I can't"

" who says? " mc asked

" I do, I have things to do "

" this late ? Jake.. is there a problem? "

" No, I just.. let's talk later, okay? "

" Nope, whatever you are working on, can wait" mc said folding her arms.

" cute, job calls mc, you know that I usually do all my work-"

" at night, yes, I get it, we can't cuddle because you think that you can't put your projects aside for once, yeah cool " mc said going to her bedroom and closing the door behind her.

Nothing is going according to plan.

She just wanted him to have some rest, his lifestyle is really unhealthy, she just wanted to help.

Mc hears knocking on the door.

" mc, I wasn't planning to stay tonight.. but-"

Mc opens the door to let him in

" but ? "

" don't expect much sleep." A smirk escaped his lips as he came closer to the bed, mc blushed.

" um I ... Well, don't worry, I prepared a relaxing bath for you"

" oh for us? How lovely, I'm afraid I didn't bring a spare change of clothes"

" I took care of that " said mc proudly.

" good job, mc" he said taking her face in his hands " always being so efficient " he said bringing his face closer " I was right about you "

Mc's face is burning as he leans in and whispers

" good girl"

Trying not to faint she looks up to see his smirk

" very well, shall we ? " He said opening the door for her.

Mc stood there thinking, she didn't plan this, it's not according to plan but somehow... it's better.

" getting too shy ? Perhaps you can go first-"

" No.. I don't need a bath actually" mc said trying to hide her face " but.. "

" now now, look at me and tell me what you want"

Struggling to meet his eyes, mc managed to do so barely.

" I do want to join you but.. I wanted you to relax and .."

" I would be more relaxed with you" he said giving mc a soft smile as she joined him.

Cuddling behind her in the bath " you planned all this today to help me relax, didn't you? "

Mc nods her head.

" I appreciate that, mc, I really do"

" aww no problem"

" I don't remember the last time I did this.. "

" chilling? Yeah I don't think you did that before"

" haha, you could be right " he laughed softly.

" .. I mean considering your situation and all ..sorry i-" mc said as she remembered what he said about his past.

" it's okay "

Few minutes of silence go by, which Jake seems to be comfortable in but mc on the other hand thinking she might have ruined the mood.

" Jake.. you are freelancing for now right? "

" right, but don't worry about that, I've been working towards financial stability as for the next job I'm planning to- "

" just saying don't overdo it, get some sleep ! You are human !! "

" ah well.. I think I'm used to this"

" living on the edge, huh"

" it's quite exciting sometimes it's too dangerous but with high risk comes high reward "

" sure as long as you don't play hero by yourself and let me help"

" I don't recommend, I don't think it's an area of your interest"

Mc turns to face him, leaning with her hands on his chest . " Come on, after what we went through, you know I can help "

Lost in her eyes, he put his hand behind her back to pull her closer. " I know you can, I would rather not have you go through constant stress "

" it wasn't all stress, you know, we made friends"

" You made friends" Jake corrected her

" nahh, Dan definitely likes you"

He chuckles and turns to kiss mc on her nose.

" Phil is also back running the aurora bar, maybe we can go grab some drinks? "

" unless the aurora is under new management, I'm not interested in going there, would you like black swan instead? "

" haha sure, anything but there huh "

" i would rather take you to a place that has more class "

" like the Chinese restaurant across the motel you stayed at " mc said smirking

" yes but not exactly..."

" hm ? "

" let's leave the bath first, I will explain"

Mc brought them towels and gave him a change of clothes and started to get dressed.

Sitting on the bed shirtless he started to explain

" I'm planning to take you some place better, the plan is still under development and I don't know if you would like it "

" like take to me on a better date? "

" that too. "

" hm i still don't get it "

" wait here "

Mc went to sit on the bed as he went to the living to grab his bag.

He sits leaning on the headboard with his laptop, mc sitting next to him and he went through it and opened the file named ' new folder ' (yes, new folder, he didn't name it, he is allowed to be lazy sometimes XD)

" this reminds me of back then, when we used to look for clues in the pictures together" said mc.

" yes, but this is better"

" yeah, more comfy and all, do you like lavender? It sure is relaxing"

" oh this is lavender, yes it is quite nice, now, tell me, what do you think? "

" well this looks like a nice apartment, is this the 'new location' you were moving to? " Mc asked

" yes, exactly. I have been making sure it's secure enough to guarantee our safety, I say it's a catch considering it's location in the city " Jake explained as he kept showing mc the apartment from different angles

" wait wait wait! Our ? You mean like.. you and me? "

Mc looks at him in shock, is this what he was so busy planning for ?

" yes "

" moving in together? ?"

" finally, yes, unless you don-"

" should I pack my stuff ? "

" absolutely "

She went in for a tight hug he had to put the laptop down and pulled her closer

" I'm so glad you like "

" it's the best thing I've ever seen ! "

" I must say I quit like the design myself but I couldn't stay there one night, it's missing one thing "

" what ? "

He pulled the covers over them and hugged mc closer.

" this "

Jake said kissing her cheek.

" aren't you quite the romantic? "

" says the one who planned all of this"

" yeah what about it ! "

" I love it "

" I love you"

" I love you more "

_____________________________________________

Jake : I never slept that great in my life

Mc : same tbh

Jake : we should sleep together often ;)

Mc : 🤭

_____________________________________________

Finally, mc has managed to at least add more hours of sleep to his schedule, nothing is impossible!

The end

random things i learned in my self-development journey

how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you

fall in love with the process of whatever journey you’re on. if you’re in love with it, you won’t get bored of it and want to stop. you’ll continue to work on the journey every step of the way until you finally get to your destination.

a fresh start is a mindset— actions come after

social media should not be your only escape— get a hobby, find some friends, or spend time with family.

the energy you give circles back

it’s okay to outgrow people, and it’s also okay for them to outgrow you too

speak to people and treat them in ways that if they were to die tomorrow, you would be satisfied for what your last memories of them would be

you don’t have to be extreme, just consistent

discipline is the highest form of self love

you can’t become what you want while maintaining who you are

routines are important— cleaning routines, workout routines, morning routines, evening routines, etc.

having a daily, weekly, and monthly “to do” list makes life much simpler

books are your best friend

know how to observe and not absorb— they are totally different things

(Jake overthinking, mc trying to help)

Jake : my head still feels so full.

Mc : try to delete some caches.

Jake : haha, if I could, I would delete the main memory itself.

Mc : that would delete mc.exe !

Jake : you will always be in my ROM, my dear.
