Work Text:
Tim has a serious case that needs all his attention, he even took time off being a CEO for it. This means all nighters that go into the next day for days at a time. Will he start having hallucinations at some point? Most likely. But, the case needs to be done on a time crunch and he can't afford to sleep.
It's going on day three and he already seems to be having a hallucination? That doesn't make sense, he usually hits day five for that. At least the guy is cute, even if he keeps trying to get Tim to sleep.
Go away pretty sleep demon, there is justice to be had!
Phantom is considering just dropping the sleep powder idea and smothering this guy in a pillow at this point. This guy has, somehow, moved out of the way or dodged every single time Phantom has thrown the powder or put it in his coffee.
Sleep damn you! You can't be healthy at this point! Nocturn is going to give him a Disappointment Head Shake if you don't sleep, and he can't handle that!
Notes:
- Nocturn has a body that looks like a starry night, Phantom likes to not disappoint him because it feels like space is disappointed at him if he is. Nocturn finds this hilarious and only keeps from messing with Phantom because Clockwork will bop him with his staff if he does.
- Tim can only see Phantom because he is so sleep deprived his mind is at the in-between where Nocturn's territory is. If any other sandman was there Tim would see them too, but they all gave up years ago and just wait for him to pass out before dumping three days worth of sleep sand on him. None of them told Phantom about Tim.
- Phantom will throw hands with Tim the next time they meet. It does not matter if it's at a JL ghost summoning or just randomly. It is on sight if he sees Tim/Red Robin.
