POP QUIZ.
HOW IS IT THAT ANYONE COULD COME TO ENJOY SLEEPING? EXTRA POINTS FOR ELABORATION ON WHETHER YOU SLEEP BECAUSE YOU WANT TO, BECAUSE YOU NEED TO, AND/OR WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF YOU COULD AVOID IT ALL TOGETHER.
COME ON THEN, LET'S HAVE A LITTLE CHAT, SHALL WE?

Lights, text, action
it's ok sometimes but the dreams are weird
sorry if that's an unpopular opinion... i'm just not feeling it...
[It's a text from your cousin! ... Who is literally seated across from you. And who is looking up at you as soon as they're done typing. They don't look like they've been sleeping well, but then again they always kind of look like a sleep deprived corpse.]
blooky baby what are you doing
...He's not even going to give them shit. Not after the dream he'd had prior, which still made him intensely uncomfortable.]
The dreams are beyond weird.
[Said out loud, because they're right near each other. And since he has no reason to stand on ceremony, Mettaton speaks in a relatively more relaxed tone. It's Napstablook he's talking too, first off. Secondly...he's tired.
He hates it. He almost looks as tired as Napstablook themselves.]
If it's an unpopular opinion, then I'll be making it popular because I certainly could do without this kind of drag. It's like constantly running out of batter and then being forced to experience uncomfortable things...
[Yeah, probably the gods. He's sure of it.]
they're trying their best
it's not so bad when it's nice dreams... or no dreams at all...
[They have their own problems with sleeping in general, due to never needing a sleeping schedule up until now. But that's not really related to what they're talking about right now.]
did you have any other weird dreams...?
[Just gonna ignore the one where Mettaton was trying to fight them. Yep.]
no subject
[It was, at least, very nice hair, but that didn't really ease the fact that he'd had a dragon disintegrate him. That death had felt very real...]
What of you? Did you, ah. Did you have any interesting ones?
[Not his dream. He is not going to talk about that. Nope.]
no subject
i didn't have any dreams...
i ended up in a desert though...? and the people there were really angry at me for being there....
no subject
[Surely Napstablook would have noticed the hair, right? They'd focus in on it too? Or maybe it was just Mettaton being quirky.]
no subject
one of them had hair that was like...
[Napstablook tries their best to motion to Atem's hair, but... y'know, it's Yu-Gi-Oh hair.]
no subject
Yes, yes. I know him, he's the one I'm talking about.
[Suddenly, a flare of protectiveness wipes the bemusement off Mettaton's face.]
They didn't hurt you, did they? Dream or no dream, that's hardly necessary.
no subject
[It’s an accident that they bring it up, and they realize it a little too late. They keep talking and hope Mettaton doesn’t notice.]
they didn’t... i was caught but they let me go...
i think it was a misunderstanding...
no subject
[Mettaton would have known if Blooky was nearby, he's sure of it! But he is glad to know that the child king and his lackeys hadn't done anything to his cousin. In that regard, the pointy-haired human had not lost all respect...]
At any rate, I'm glad they let you go. You didn't deserve to be hurt, or judged.
[Napstablook is literally the least offensive person here, Mettaton's pretty sure of that.]
