Work Text:
Clay was on the ground, switching back and forth between work. He wasn’t in a rush or anything, he just wanted to get this work done.
At that point, you could say he was multi-tasking when he switched every 10 seconds to check another thing.
He took a sip of coffee, not realizing the time and the mess he made. Papers left and right, notebooks and binders open. He tried to keep track of everything, he was just making sure all the work was done. But did that mean he had to work on four things at a time?
He adjusted his glasses and took another sip of coffee and opened a huge binder, as soon as he flipped to the page he needed to be, he started writing things down in his notebook. His hand started cramping, maybe because he’s been writing for almost an hour now.
Trollex woke up, looking at Clay, scattering around the room. He notice six cups of coffee over on Clays desk, some empty and some full.
Trollex rubbed his eyes and yawned, wondering how long his lover had been working.
“Clay?” King Trollex said in a tired tone.
“Sorry! Didn’t mean to wake you. I just really have to get this done.” Clay said, still writing things down and continuing to look up and down at the binder.
“How long have you been up?” Trollex said, following with a yawn.
“Oh, since 11:00!” Clay said.
“You’ve been up for two hours? You need sleep.” Trollex said, worrying about the well being of his partner.
“I’ll have plenty of time to sleep, just go back to bed, babe!” Clay said, still writing while sipping coffee.
Trollex sighed, getting up from bed and on his knees next to Clay to see what was more important than sleep.
“This is what you’ve been doing all night?” Yawned Trollex.
“Yep! And if you just wait a bit more i’ll be in bed!” Clay said with a yawn at the end.
Trollex noticed that Clay was tired. This was the second time Clay has done this. He could work on this later, Trollex just wanted his partner to rest now.
Trollex wrapped his arm around Clay and used his other hand to put Clays hand down, preventing him from writing. Clay turned around to see his tired lover and sighed. Trollex smiled lightly and takes off Clays glasses, folding them and putting them down in front of Clays work.
Clay stands up and walks to the cups of coffee on his desk, walking to the kitchen to put them in the fridge for later.
When Clay walks back into the room, he sees Trollex already asleep on the floor. Trollex opens his eyes a bit and motions Clay to lay with him.
Clay walks over and lays beside Trollex, finally closing his eyes. King Trollex wraps his arms around Clay, acting as a blanket. King Trollex lays his head on Clays, acting as a pillow.
“Sorry, it’s just i want to get this work done before it’s due.” Clay whispers back.
“And when is it due?”
“In two weeks..” Clay says.
Trollex sighs and kisses Clays head.
“What am I gonna do with you?” He chuckles, closing their eyes and falling asleep on the floor.
