Several months by my best guess. What's another few months in an empty bed, anyway, right?
[ He's been in one since Braeden bailed a couple of years ago, so really, what's the difference if it takes a few months before the puppy can change that?
...and he actually made that joke. To another person. How pathetic and lame can he really be? At least she'll probably take it well and not pick on him too badly for it, if at all. It is Vanya, after all.. ]
[Like she even knows what to do with that joke. Is it a joke? Seems like he's just making a point, in her book. And it's not like she's in any kind of position to judge: Leonard was the first relationship she had in...well, he was the first relationship she had, and look how that turned out. Gaslit and manipulated by someone who was supposed to love her, but that seems pretty par for the course for Number Seven, doesn't it?]
[ Sometimes, her predictability is a huge relief and Derek smiles a little at the message. If she's offended or rolling her eyes over the joke, at least she's not letting him know it. That's nice of her. ]
Yeah, really though. I've been seriously considering reconsidering my morning runs and whether they need to continue to be a thing if this dog won't let me sleep.
And sleeping in isn't all it's cracked up to be. [Especially if it's depression sleep, guess who has had a life of over medicated, weird sleep swings? Definitely this girl.]
I feel like he'd like the run. I WISH he'd like the sleeping in, but I feel like you're wrong on that one.
I don't really feel like I'm missing much. I haven't done it since I was in high school and I turned out okay. Mostly.
[ That's meant to be a joke, but the joke is more that Derek's still pretty fucked up, he just hides it well. He's pretty sure that's got nothing to do with his sleep schedule, though. ]
That feels like a fair compromise, actually. You're kind of a genius.
[ It's never really occurred to Derek to just go back to sleep once he's up. It seems like a waste, usually, but now with this puppy, it actually sounds like a good idea. ]

Won't be a problem if he keeps waking you up.

no one would blame you for sleeping in
I bet Chance would like it too. As long as you include him.

The run or the sleeping in?

[It's not a bad joke, because Vanya smiles. There's a certain macabre tone that fellow fucked up people just get.]
Sounds like a case for not sleeping in, then. You turned out better.

Eh, I don't know about all that.
