Con couldn't sleep.
No matter how many times she tossed and turned in her bed, she couldn't sleep.
Why, you might ask?
Because she was thinking stupid thoughts.
Thoughts that she wants to rip out of her head and set on fire. Thoughts that she wants to physically beat up with a bat and leave it to rot. Thoughts that she just COULDN'T GET OUT OF HER MIND!
What were these thoughts about? Well, it's about a guy.. a blond haired guy.. with a slight british accent.. and those dreamy ey-STOP.
She sighed, It was ARTHUR.
She knows the worst possible time to develop feelings for someone was now, especially since they were on a VERY important mission, but she can't STOP LOVE!
No matter HOW HARD she tried to put an end to this warmth she felt towards Arthur when it started forming, She just COULDN'T! Not to mention, just the thought of him gave her BUTTERFLIES! UUUuuughh.
What a nuisance. 'But is it really?' a voice in her head asked, almost condescending 'It was only a matter of time until you started getting the hots for him ya know!' Couldn't it wait? 'That's not my point, the point is you gotta embrace this love! Arthur WAS the one wh-' SHUT UP. SHUUTT UP!
OKAY. Let's try thinking about something else like— Aha! The investigation!
Right. So, if she recalls correctly, the investigation was launched to try and find any traces of the terrorists.. they only found syringes, and Arthur said the text on the syringes were barely readable. Isn't Arthur so smart, He's like totaallyy my ty—OH MY GOD.
OKAY, She just thought back to Arthur. How about NOT thinking at all this time? Like—just staring at the darkness her closed eyelids provided.. Yeah, sounds like a pretty good plan..
Staaartttss NOW!
...
...
'ppssst.'
....
'HHEEEY! YOU CAN'T IGNORE ME!'
....
'Do you remember when that one guy jumped on you and Arthur IMMEDIATELY grabbed him by the neck? WASN'T THAT SO HOT? WASN'T IT?'
Okay. That clearly didn't work.
It's like her mind—just— DOESN'T WANNA HELP.. The more she tries NOT to think about him, the more she THINKS ABOUT HIM! UURRgHH! IT'S SO FRUSTRATING! IF ONLY SHE COULD SOMEHOW KILL HER THOUGHTS AND BURY -Hey, wait a minute, I have a GENIUS idea... what if.. you like.. buried your feelings? Like, just pretend they aren't there, I'm sure it's just a harmless crush anyway, it'll pass, right?
Yeeaaahhh, it'll be fine. What's the worst that could happen?
