Bastian seemed to be in a daze staring at the colorful pieces of cereal floating around in his bowl, but he would recognize that voice anywhere. It took a second to break his intent stare at his cold breakfast, but he did manage to look up in time to see Lydia snatch the bottle of aspirin away. "'Morning beautiful, you look about as good as I feel." The right corner of his mouth turned up in a lazy attempt to grin. "Aren't you excited? We get to be hangover buddies again." He never really paid much attention to how many mornings Lydia woke up like that, but when you partied like they often did, it wasn't much of a surprise. That and, he wasn't exactly in the position to judge someone. With his amazing ability to cheat on someone more than five times a week, he was worried trying to chastise her would get him struck by lightning or something. "Better get the earplugs ready, I wouldn't be surprised if she magically materialized here right now to cuss me out." He shrugged and actually flashed a brief smile despite the headache that still made his skull feel like it was ready to split open.
"Am I that predictable? For all you know I could've spent my night completely alone." If anyone believed that they either had to be deaf and blind, or just flat out stupid. He didn't try to hide his cheating, that would be too much of a hassle. Besides, Katy didn't look like she was going to up and leave him anytime soon. They were dating before the band got famous. Why she was willing to put up with him was a mystery, and thinking about it made his head hurt even worse, so Bastian completely discarded the question and went back to his soggy cereal. The theme song from Spongebob started blaring in the other room and it took a slow second for him to realize that the ringtone belonged to his phone. It took even longer for him to shuffle back into the bright bedroom. It was a text from Ivan, just seeing his name on the screen made him frown, why? He knew it meant they had something to do. So he wouldn't be getting anymore sleep for a while. "And here I was thinking I could get some more beauty sleep."
Bastian went back into the kitchen and propped his elbows up on the table, his chin resting on his elbow. He looked at Lydia with an eerily wide smile on his face. "Guess what, boss man says we have a press conference today. He also told us to get rid of our hangovers. Isn't that just wonderful?!" Bastian snapped his fingers twice then clapped. He looked around with a puzzled expression then put on an overly dramatic frown. "Nope still here. Mister Aspirin should hurry the hell up." He did feel a little better. Maybe it was because he had someone else to suffer with, or maybe it was the absence of the twins that freaked him out earlier.
