WHO: Ed and Gio.
WHAT: Gio can't sleep, and for some reason his brother Ed has always been able to help him with just that problem.
WHERE: Spinelli household; Ed's room.
WHEN: Very early Tuesday, Dec 21
RATING: PG
The blurry red numbers on his digital clock read 1:23 AM on the dot. Gio groaned and turned over in bed, suffering from both fatigue and annoyance because he couldn't get to sleep that night. What made it all the more frustrating was that he kept yawning and his eyelids felt heavy, but sleep just wouldn't come.
It had to be Calvin and Katie floating around his head. Their break up had hit him particularly hard – perhaps harder than it should have. But both of them seemed so miserable, and his attempts to fix it had failed miserably. Rory's advice had been to step back and be a friend, taking neither side, but neither pushing either of them to do this or that. Doing nothing was more difficult than Gio had imagined it would be.
After 1:30 pushed past him, Gio sat bolt upright in bed and grabbed his glasses. This just wasn't going to work. He climbed out of bed and padded quietly out of his pitch dark room, then moved slowly down the hallway to one of his brothers' rooms. Without knocking, he opened the door.
"Ed?" Gio whispered as he stuck his head into the room. It was dark and Ed seemed to be asleep, but being the annoying little brother he was, that didn't stop him from going right up to Ed's bed to shake his brother gently. "Ed."
