As the night was growing and the trio's activities started to wind down. Justin found himself sitting on the couch, Vinyl's sunglasses snug on his face, and both mares sleeping at his sides. He was current;y staring up at the ceiling, collecting his thoughts that have been shooed away for fun. Vinyl and Derpy were in a place they shouldn't even exist in, even Justin knew he had no room to speak due to the fact that he found himself in the same situation months ago. Vice versa took on a whole new meaning for him now. He brought his head down and his eyes met the now half-eaten cake. A smile crept along Justin's face as he thought back to how Vinyl almost put away the whole cake in one go. He guessed it was a good thing Derpy stopped her.... somewhat.
Justin started to look around the room for a clock, well, the only clock that was present. One in the morning, so it read, causing a yawn to emerge from the young man.
"I guess it's time to hit the hay." Justin muttered.
One of the fillies stirred, slightly yawning. "Aw.. c'mon dude, the night's still young."
"Ha ha. The last time I tried to stay up, it was for seventy-two hours, no naps, nuthin."
"Not even an energy drink?" Vinyl cocked her head off to the side, red iris' practically sparkling.
"Nope."
"Dang dude, you stayed up longer than I have, even after a show I pass completely out."
Justin just nodded once, got up, took off the shades, and placed them on the coffee table. "C'mon, help me clean up some of this mess."
Vinyl's horn quickly lit up, encasing the cake, cake cover, plates, and forks in her magic and placed the wares in the sink, the cake in the fridge. Justin was straightening up some of the living room to make it look some what nice before turning towards a certain sleeping pegasus.
He gently took the snoozing mare in his arms, lighter than she looked, must be a perk of being a pegasus. Easily maneuvering around the couch to the switches to turn the lights off in the kitchen and living room before walking down the hall towards his room.
As simple as it was, Justin still called it his sanctuary, and that's all he needed. His own little world to escape from reality. The young man put the sleeping Derpy on his bed and moved around it to the nightstand on the other side. His movements were swift, knowing his own room for a while allowed this, and he turned on the dim lamp adorned on his nightstand.
Vinyl always wondered what else wen on in Justin's head. He'd always say that he was thinking about one thing, then turn out to be thinking about another. There were also times where he would be making noises under his breathe when he thought nopony was around. Of course, Vinyl has had some sort of time to figure out a few things about him.
If Justin say he's thinking about one thing, assume that there is another. Her attention wasn't focused too long on that thought though, as Justin moved over to the closet and picked out a two more blankets. This piqued her interest a bit, slightly assuming what he was going to do now.
"And what do you think you're doing?" Vinyl asked, trotting over to the human.
"Making my bed on the floor, why?"
Vinyl huffed and placed herself on the blankets, blocking any attempt Justin could make to adjust them. "Oh no you're not. You're gonna climb in the bed and you're gonna like it."
"Is this a house guest telling me what she thinks I should do?"
Vinyl just smiled up at the young man, intent on staying put. "Besides, I think Derpy might've actually enjoyed sleeping against you."
Justin raised a brow before breaking his gaze on Vinyl. Sure enough, Derpy was laying on the bed, making slight movements and an expression that told him she was uncomfortable at the moment. With a shrug of his shoulders, he didn't try to argue back and went away from his intended spot for the night to go lay on the bed next to Derpy. The pegasus' movements stopped as soon as her fur came in contact with his shirt. She let out a content sigh and settled in. Vinyl hopped up on the bed to Justin's open side and laid herself down. A small smile splayed on her face as she looked directly at him.
"If anypony knew about this, you'd be the envy of most stallions." She stated with her smile.
"And why's that?"
"Not very many can score two mares in bed." Vinyl put her head on Justin's chest.
"Pfft, yeah.. sure. I'm just lucky I have to ponies from another plane of existence as friends who care about me even after I leave, and they just so happen to be girls."
Vinyl sat there for a moment, listening to the steady thump-thump thump-thump of his heart. "Who knows, maybe they just care about you more than you really know."
"And just what exactly are you getting at, Miss Vinyl Scratch?"
"Well...." She closed her eyes for a few minutes before opening them again to meet his,"... maybe a certain Disk Jockey and Courier might just have developed feelings for you while you were gone."
"Ponies falling in love with a human? Seems a bit... out there.. if you ask me."
Vinyl sat up, "How is the an 'out there' concept?"
"Well, one, I just got out of a relationship and probably isn't the best idea right now to jump into another. Two, I kinda don't see this working out opposed to living in, what I assume to be, different universes. Sure, I might be okay with going out with a pony for experimentation on a new perspective, but, how would it really work out?"
Vinyl just sat there for a moment. Just had just made some good points opposing the idea, but he also let on to something more. She also knew he came a long way from when he first arrived in Equestria. Justin was about as shy as Fluttershy back then, but broke through with the help of Derpy and herself.
"Ever been camping?"
This definitely caught Vinyl off guard, her ears perked up at the young man's voice. "No, I'm a city mare, I've never been camping in my entire life."
"Maybe we should change that tomorrow. Take you both camping."
