A/N: Hello, everyone. This is just a small bunch of drabbles I wrote to accompany my George/Rube fanmix. I'm going to post it on LJ at some point, so go check it out. Also, you might like to youtube the songs here while you read. They're definitely worth a listen. I hope you enjoy! Reviews are love.
Disclaimer: Just playing in the Dead Like Me sandbox. I, unfortunately, do not own a grain of it.
Sleepless – Kate Havenevik
Catch me as I fly
Passing by at night
Watch me as I go, outside
It's another world
When the moon is high
And the walking keeps,
Me breathing
Sleepless,
I shouldn't be here
Sleepless,
Twenty-four hours of searching
Down the narrow streets
I can feel the breeze
Going small and tired, like me
Drink some more of this
Feel the morning bliss
Songs of airplanes in my head
Sleepless,
I shouldn't be here
Sleepless,
Twenty-four hours
Sleepless,
I have I have to keep walking
Sleepless,
Twenty-four hours of searching
Searching for my life
Sleepless,
Sleepless,
Oh sleepless,
Sleepless,
Sleepless
George felt a current of desperate energy run from her chest to her head, pooling there to make her shudder. The streets were nearly empty at three in the morning, and her only source of light came from periodical halogen lamps. Even with her mind buzzing empty, on her fifth night of sleeplessness, her feet took her to Der Waffle Haus. She dragged herself into the bright diner lights and paused for a second before continuing on her path to their usual table.
Rube looked up from a well-worn hardback, took in her bloodshot eyes and blank expression and moved his legs off the booth to make room for her. She curled up next to him, her head by his thigh, and with the table blocking most of the fluorescence she fell asleep.
