Your brow furrowed as you thrashed about in your sleep, limbs flailing and slamming into the thin wall that separated you from your neighbor. He was awake, as always, watching TV under dark rings appeared under his eyes that he covered in the morning with smudged white and grey makeup. He was stoned and sleepy, but for some reason the noise coming from your apartment kept him up.

His indigo eyes narrowed at the wall keeping him from barging into your room and he felt rage begin to seep in where the high began to fade. How dare you keep him up this late at night (even though he’d stay up even later regardless)?

Growling under his breath, Gamzee found himself rising from the couch and stalking to the wall in front of him.

You were jolted from your sleep by a loud bang and shot upright in bed, trying to figure out where the sound came from. Another pound shook through your wall and you jumped again, realizing now it was coming from your next door neighbor. Hesitantly, you knocked back on the wood, the sound tentative and quiet.

Gamzee wasn’t expecting that. He knocked back, beginning to calm down.

Smiling, you rested your cheek against the drywall and drummed your fingers to the barrier in five beats, a recognizable signal. Your grin only grew when he responded with two sharp knocks back. You giggled to yourself, but fell silent when you heard a chuckle on the other side of the wall. Mouth falling open in a small ‘o’, you rose your voice to an audible level and attempted to speak to the man.

“Hello?”

The voice that spoke back was just like the laugh from before- deep, throaty, and lazy.

“Hey, sis.”

You made a face, a smirk twisting your lips. “What are you doing?”

Another one of those quiet chuckles. “Aw man, sis, you don’t even motherfucking know.” You waited for a moment, hoping the man would explain further. A second later he spoke again. “You must have been having some vivid-ass dream, ‘cause you were making more noise than a bull in a motherfucking china shop or some shit.”

Furrowing your brow, you squeezing your eyes shut and hissed, ashamed. “I am so sorry, man, really.”

“Nah, sis, everything is chill on this end,” he purred, and you began to realize this man was probably altered. You weren’t dumb enough to think it was regular cigarette smoke wafting from under his door. It’s a wonder the crabby supervisor never did anything about it. Or maybe he did, and the dude just didn’t care.

You were snapped from your thoughts by the voice through the wall again. “Hey, you want some of this miraculous weed, sis? It could mellow you right out.”

Nose scrunching up, you shook your head, then realized the man couldn’t see it. “I’ll pass, sorry,” you told him, “That’s not really my scene, you know?”

“Hey little mama, you go on ahead and do your own thing, you know? Don’t apologize for that.” You grinned at the words of wisdom coming from a stoner. “But I don’t just got that shit, you know? I got some wicked ass tea that my ultra fab sis Kanaya brought over. Shit’s bitter as fuck, but she says the stuff’s fucking miraculous for insomnia and shit.”

You pursed your lips together, unsure whether or not you could actually trust the stranger. He seemed earnest enough, but you could never be sure these days. “I- I don’t know. I don’t even know your name,” you murmured, wringing your hands nervously.

On the other side of the wall, the man’s head thudded against the drywall. “Fuck, sis, that’s my bad. Name’s Gamzee, apartment 413.”

Grinning, you touched a hand to the wall and introduced yourself the best you could through the wall. A loud yawn tore through your lungs before you heard a laugh from Gamzee. “Maybe you don’t need that tea, little mama. Get some shut eye, sis, and may the miraculous Messiahs grant you fucking fantastic dreams.”

You smiled, and fell asleep with your ear pressed against the wall as you listened to Gamzee’s TV in the background.
