feeling sad today and i've spent way too much time on a draft for a separate post so i'm dumping a mayzuke (albeit kinda mayday-centric) headcanon here to cheer me up (even though these could probably also pass as just mayday&zuke typical best-friendship) ... i hope anyone reading this gets some value out of it too. ^__^ comments are always appreciated
★ mayday has insomnia. it's hard for her to fall/stay asleep normally -- she's got basically a laundry list of things that might keep her up at night some of these things being:
- the room is too dark
- the room is too quiet
- her blanket is too heavy (she prefers to sleep under a semi-thin sheet ... it's already hot enough in the sewers)
- she's hungry to an infinitesimal degree (not enough to climb down, but she lies awake and debates on what to hypothetically eat, which in turn only makes her hungrier, and then she's gotta have something)
- the collar of her shirt needs to be trimmed off
- she's thinking about potential ideas for songs, whether it be melodies or lyrics. (she's thought up some pretty good ideas to the sound of Zuke's snoring below. it's the great ideas that have her scrambling out of the bunk to jot 'em all down)
- she straight-up doesn't feel like going to sleep
it might be a bit lengthy, but... the list seems to just somehow evaporate whenever she falls asleep on Zuke. her best naps are always the ones where they're practically slung across one another on the couch, grounded by each other's touch. sometimes they'll sleep together (... minus the double-entendre,) always in the bottom bunk, but those times are reserved for special occasions. Mayday usually sleeps on the inside, while Zuke is on the outside. (i mentioned previously that May dislikes when the room is too quiet... well, Zuke likes having a fan blowing on him at all times, and the hum of it remedies that silence. but. well, ironically enough, she HATES the tickle of the breeze it generates, and the drummer is glad to body block it for her. teehee...)
May is suuuper thankful that he's here. and really really grateful for her best buddy, grateful that they've reached this level of mutual comfortability with one another. really! but May... perhaps her more stubborn half... feels kind of odd about the idea of depending on him for a good night's rest. even if she can't deny the fact that laying on him felt like laying on the cool side of a pillow. but, like, if the pillow had a heartbeat and was always cool and smelt really good.
and even when they're sleeping separately in their bunks, lately Zuke's snoring (just the mere thought of him always being here to fall back on) has been enough to lull her to sleep, so............. can she really complain?
[this was supposed to be several headcanons (which i guess it technically is, but i mean several Unrelated ones) but this got long enough to turn into its own post . To Be Continued!]
Wah... they're so cute...
ReplyDeleteI love this repeated theme you have about May having two voices inside her: her kind, loving, caring heart, and her rebellious, confident, passionate spirit.
They're at odds more often than not, but they're what make Mayday, Mayday!
I just might yoink that from you :3
