5 minutes left...
Oh, well.
Elliot was extremely sleep deprived at the moment and hasn't gotten at least a decent amount of sleep in a week. He was starting to hallucinate and fall asleep on his shift. He banged his head on the counter and groaned. No more customers, please... that's all he was praying for. Until...
RING RING
Elliot silently died inside.
"Welcome to Builder Brothers Pizza... how can I help?" He groaned out, lifting his head up to see Chance. His expression changed from annoyed to happy. "HI!!!" Elliot immediately smiled. "What d'ya want?" he smiled. Chance smiled back.
"Just a cola, that's all," they said. "Well... someone looks a bit tired..." they smiled at Elliot. He groaned then sighed.
"I'm just gonna get it..." he said, walking to the fridge. Elliot opened it, got a cola, and went back to the counter. "You know." Chance placed 5 dollars on the counter and smiled. "Take it." Chance took the cola and immediately chugged it.
"As good as ever, Elli."
"Stop with the nicknames..." he looked down, hiding his face, a red tint appearing on his nose. Chance smiled as they hopped over the counter.
"So... we still down for the sleepover?"
"Yeah yeah... just give me a few."

Chance was driving Elliot to their place. He was basically the passenger princess in their car. Elliot was already dozing off to sleep. "Y'know, Elli, have I ever told you about my old friend iTrapped? Or... Isaac?" Elliot shook his head. "Well... he's bad news." Chance began to tell him the story. "And yeah, I started to realize he was bad news-"
Blah blah.
Elliot zoned off at the end of the story and started drooling. "...You got drool on my seat, Elli," Chance said.
"Sorry..." Chance's expression softened.
"It's okay."

"And that's all, dumped him and reported him. Got banned," Elliot smiled. They were in Chance's bedroom now for the sleepover. Elliot was cuddled up to Chance's side as they both watched a movie. Chance was making sure Elliot was eating plenty of the food they had.
"...I think the reason I can't sleep is... because I need someone there. I always stress about work and personal issues."
Elliot held onto Chance as if they were going to grow five feet and run away. "And it... stresses me out because I start to see things..." He sighed then scooted closer to Chance. They held him close.
"Well... hopefully you'll be able to sleep." Chance handed him a weighted blanket that was cooling. Elliot smiled and pulled it over him, then cuddled even closer to Chance. Elliot reached for the remote and turned the TV off, then kissed their forehead, then started to shower them in multiple kisses all over their face. Chance sighed softly and pulled Elliot into their neck and kissed his head.
"Night, Elli."
"G'night, Chance."
