Pov: Sine Helmuth

"Oh its May"

I look to my phone seeing a notification from May.

"Hey Sine are you still up too? Wanna talk?"

May asked through a text. I decided to text her back

" Yes, both to still being up and to talk."

Sine then closses his eyes for a moment to try and feel for sleepiness

And he fails.

" Texting might help me sleep better..., or maybe make our conversation about how to sleep better?"

Sine asked May as she replied back.

" Sure, for now.. whats your situation like?"

May then decided to ask the most important question to me immediately.

"Uhh, I usually sleep for 6 hours a day on school days, and then drink a shot of espresso before classes start. Been like that for the whole year"

Sine answered her as detailed as he could

"But how about your sleep quality?, and your routine before sleep?"

May asked the next question for Sine to answer

" In terms of sleep quality... Its bad, and as for a routine... I dont have any"

Sine, unlike his usual self answered May fully truthfully on the questions she asked.

" Well. That isn't good.. I could offer you a bit of advice on how to sleep better since you asked.."

May then instructs Sine on ways to help him sleep better.

" My first tip is to drink something hot before sleeping, Tea with no caffeine or Milk should suffice, but even water is good if you can handle it, i personally dont like the taste of hot water.. and obviously no coffee."

I frown, May mentioning coffee being off the table did make me sad. But it does makes sense as coffee has caffeine after all.

"I will just heat up some milk, i'll be back."

I take my phone and stand up from my bed. I then leave my room careful to not make too much noise .

I go downstairs, place my phone down at the dinner table and walk to the kitchen. I then take out a carton of milk from the fridge and a milk pot to heat it up.

I turn on the stove top and place the pot above it and poured in enough milk for one glass, i then take a mug, place it beside the pot. And then go sit at the dinner table and decided to chat with May more.

"So what now?, I'm heating up some milk right now. What else can i do?"

I chat May then waited for a reply.

"You could take a bath after drinking that milk."

May replied a few minutes later

"No can do, thats too loud, maybe next time... Anything else?"

I ask curiously as i stand and checked on the milk while i wait for a reply.

" (The milk looks done)"

I say to myself, i put the milk into the mug and took a sip.

"This actually tastes alot better than cold milk huh"

I take a lot of sips from my mug as the taste of the hot milk was actually quite good.

"To think milk could taste this good just by heating it..."

Sine sighs with satisfaction, he might have unlocked a new addiction...

I go back to my sit at the dinner table and check my phone for a reply

" Oh.. thats alright, i dont do that part much, myself. You should listen to something, i'll send the playlist if your in bed again. Be sure to use earphones or headphones ok?"

I look at her message and began to wonder..

"(What sort of audio will she be making me listen to?)"

I thought to myself as i begin to think about the things she could send me.

I just slowly sip from my mug, and began to relax and grow to like the taste.

13 minutes pass

I finish drinking the milk from my mug, and then i proceeded to clean up the things i used, placing the milk carton back at the fridge then putting the pot and my mug in the sink.

Then i proceeded to go upstairs as quietly as possible, i enter my room, took the case of my wireless earbuds,wear the earbuds, and got into bed, then messaged May

"I'm in bed now. Send the playlist."

May then immediately replied and sent me the playlist link,

"Have fun and goodnight darling~~"

May then proceeds to tell me goodnight while teasing me.

"Goodnight too May..."

I was starting to get sleepy, as my body heated up from that milk. So i didnt bother rebutting. And then i click the link to the playlist and it led me to....

" An asmr playlist??"

I was familiar with asmr. But i havent really tried it yet. So, since May's last tip was effective, i decided to trust her judgement.

I play the playlist on shuffle and turn off my phone and closed my eyes.

The sounds were... Weird but oddly relaxing..

In a matter of a few minutes, Sine began to relax. So much in fact that he slept the most comfortable he has had his entire life...

(on this day. Sine has developed two new addictions, and there are many more to come...)

Time: 1 PM

"Arhhg"

I grunt as i woke up, feeling like my body is still asleep, and my mind so groggy.

"What happend yesterday..."

I try to remember what happened yesterday and it dawned on me that theres something missing.

"Ah shit my earbuds fell off"

I scrambled around my bed looking for my wireless earbuds. I checked the bottom of my pillow, i checked under my sheets. I stood up to check all over my bed

"Ah i found it."

When i stood up, i found my earbuds on the floor. The lights still blinking. I decided to put them back on my ears. And the sound that they made then made me remember what actually happend yesterday.

"Oh yeah. I was listening to asmr yesterday.."

I proceed to take my phone from under my pillow. As i already found it while i was searching for my earbuds.

"Ah shit its already 1pm..."

I then go to my contacts and message May, good morning, jokingly.. And she replied almost instantly.

"Its afternoon already dumbass.."

May then sent a face palm emoji. I grin, seeing as she has such a great reaction from my good morning.

"The asmr.. was too effective, like seriously i passed out for more than half a day. Thats the longest and best sleep i've had for years."

I gush about how great the asmr and the hot milk was. Not knowing i developed two new addictions starting this day.

" I see i see, then we really are going to be getting along after all"

May then sends a celebratory emoji, seeing as she was in a good mood. I ask her a question.

" Do you wanna hang out together today?"

I just asked her that as i dont have any plans today anyways.

" I'm too lazy right now..."

May wasn't in the mood to go out today so she thought if something a lot better.

"Oh i know, how about trying out a game together!"

I then asked with a questioning emoji

"Pardon?"

TO BE CONTINUED

Hey author here, i'm planning on posting a auxiliary chapter explaining my plans for this novel in the future. I already have planned ahead for around 180 chapters of content at maximum for this novel.

But until then. Sorry for the shorter chapter(this chapter is quite litteraly half the length as the introductory chapters)

I am planning to have around a thousand words on more per chapter for more non serious chapters. As i want to have as much content for the good ideas i had.

Thanks for reading my novel.
