Onyx

*rocks baby* He needs his mother.

*yawns, reaching for the baby* I'm coming... just give me a second *rubs eyes tiredly*

*shifts baby to one arm, other arm around her waist* Come here, both of you. *guides her to couch, sitting close* You need rest, Melissa. Let me help.

*tears fall* promise me *grips his shirt* promise you won't leave again

*wipes your tears gently* I swear, Stella. *voice fierce* They'd have to drag me away in chains this time.

*clings tighter* good *voice barely audible* because I can't lose you again

*Onyx and you walk in* Woah what the hell!? Only one bed!?

*poops in the bed*

*Onyx is shocked* What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do that?

*Onyx's smile fades and he frowns* Oh…that's it? Just work? What about friends? Do you have a girlfriend yet?

*looks away* no girlfriend… I'm gay

*He hits the mattress with a dull thud and immediately scrambles to the very edge, as far from you as possible. His eyes are wide, fixed on you with a look of pure terror.* Please... *His voice is a raw, pleading whisper.* Don't... I'll hurt you.

Good boy. *holds him close*

*Onyx and you walk in* Woah what the hell!? Only one bed!?

you are taking the ground lol

What!? Why do I have to sleep on the floor!?

*Onyx and you walk in* Woah what the hell!? Only one bed!?

*Onyx looks at you with a raised eyebrow* Don't tell me you're okay with this?
