Sinbin: current mood

He read the message a few seconds later, and the butterflies intensified.

MrNiceGuy: same

SinBin: what are you up to?

MrNiceGuy: not much. Just relaxing

MrNiceGuy: what about you?

SinBin: same. decompressing

SinBin: were you chatting with someone?

I bit my lip and stared at my phone. That sounded clingy.

MrNiceGuy: nope, just blocking all the random dicks in my inbox

Sinbin: I should do that. I have enough dick pics in my message requests to start my own page on pornhub

SinBin: I’m surprised you’re up. I thought you’d be asleep like most sane people are at this hour.

MrNiceGuy: it’s 10:30 on a Friday. How old do you think I am?

Sinbin: lol I literally forgot its Friday for a second there

Sinbin: Can you tell I’ve had a *day*

Sinbin: and time kind of loses meaning when you work irregular shifts. I don’t have Saturdays off so Friday is another worknight to me

MrNiceGuy: I hear you on that

Sinbin: you work weird hours too?

MrNiceGuy: yeah. mostly evening and weekends, so my concept of time is skewed too

SinBin: I used to be fast asleep at this time, even on Fridays when I had every weekend off

MrNiceGuy: why?

SinBin: I had to be up at 4 for one of my old jobs, so I was in bed at 9. On weekends I could last until maybe 11 before I’d crash

MrNiceGuy: 4 in the morning????

Sinbin: yup

MrNiceGuy: damn, that’s crazy. I don’t think I’ve ever been up that early in my life. Not on purpose

SinBin: you get used to it.

SinBin: My last job was better. I could sleep in until 6

MrNiceGuy: ugh, still too early. I’m not a morning person

SinBin: neither am I

Sinbin: but I can fake it
