What: Nightmares blow
When: Around 2 a.m. Sunday morning
Where: Their apartment

Jamie, on any given day, usually slept like the dead. Which was awesome, it meant he was hardly ever disturbed, and generally woke up ready to face his day.

However, tonight was not going well for him. His dreams were an endless parade of rejection letters, jobs that stifled his creativity, and looking back on his life and regretting most of it. He sat upright in bed, hair sticking to his head, biting his lip so hard he'd be surprised if it wasn't bleeding.

He got up and pulled on a sweatshirt, left his room, and paused in front of his father's door. He hesitated before knocking softly. "Dad?" he called.

	"I had no sisters, so dragons were my goal," Jamie said. "Yeah, when they came up with 'HBIC', they probably went and hung out with Aunt Anna." Jamie sipped at his cocoa, letting it warm him from the inside out. "Dragon-slaying and quests and hanging out with dwarves. It would have been awesome." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I really wouldn't doubt it," Thomas joked. He started to mix the melted butter and marshmallows.

"Awww, I like your childhood goals more than mine. Mine ended up causing Anna to bikechain me to a door handle. I was stuck there for a half an hour until my mother came home. And then a further five minutes before Anna gave up the combination. It was pretty tense! But I did learn to not throw dog food at Tessa."

	"Unattainable though they were," Jamie sighed. "Still. That's what books are for, I guess." Jamie laughed into his cocoa. "Seriously? That's pretty hilarious, I can't even lie. It's not cool to throw dog food at your sisters, Dad." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And books are magical! Says the English teacher," he said with a wink. "Well I know that now! I wasn't always horrible, it was just a recurring theme. You should be thankful you know grown-up me," he grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	OMG, that icon. I LOL'd. :D flare_star 2013-02-26 05:19 am UTC (link)
	"They are, as the shelves in my room can attest," Jamie agreed. "You're a grown-up?" Jamie joked. "I'm kidding!" he added, holding up his free hand in a 'don't shoot' gesture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I love it :D asterismos 2013-02-26 05:34 am UTC (link)
	"Haha!" Thomas said whimsically. "I can sometimes manage to convince people I am!" He did a little twirl and then spooned the mixture into a pan so it could cool. "I pay rent and kind of know how to do taxes! ...wow being a grown-up sounds boring." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Matt Smith, how are you so adorable? :D flare_star 2013-02-26 06:10 am UTC (link)
	Jamie snickered as he watched his father spin as he made the rice krispies. "And a good thing, too, because god knows I'm nowhere near being an adult. And yeah, it does sound boring. I vote we stop growing up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Magic! asterismos 2013-02-26 06:27 am UTC (link)
	"This sounds like a pact which might end in tragedy," Thomas laughed. He set aside the treats to cool. "Or at least one of us getting arrested for throwing dog food at people in public." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't doubt it XD flare_star 2013-02-26 07:02 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, and then we'd have to call Grandma to bail us out, and I do not see that ending well at all," Jamie laughed, pulling a face at the idea. "Let's not get arrested. Like, ever." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thomas grinned and he tapped the side of his nose twice before pointing at his son. "Now that is a good idea. I agree with that, let's do that!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm sure there's way to not grow up that don't involve being arrested," Jamie mused. "Like eating rice krispie treats and drinking cocoa at 2 a.m. Let's just do that instead. Because that's infinitely more awesome than spending a night in jail." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Agreed," Thomas held up his cocoa mug as a half-toast. "Feel better, Kiddo?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
