~Chapter 12~

~Midnight~

After Shadow's arms were wrapped up, I asked him why he did that. He didn't answer me, I just held him close and cuddled him, I told him I wouldn't leave his side any longer. So I cuddled with him for hours. We then went to sleep, when we woke up the next morning, he was laying in my arms. He seemed as if he was nowhere near waking up, and if he was going to school, he would have to wake up now. Moments later, I called us out sick. I kissed his head, and went back to sleep. It was almost 1 in the afternoon when we woke up. He look over his shoulder and looked at me, he was adorable. I held his chin up with my paw, and kissed him gently. He just looked at me and smiled.

We both decided to get out of bed, he hobbled his way into the bathroom, and I stood outside the door waiting to go to the bathroom, he eventually came out and said he was going to shower, so I said, "Get us both something to wear." He then said ok and went into our room to grab our clothes, I then went into the bathroom to piss, I flushed the toilet and looked at myself in the mirror, I looked like a mess after the night I had. Shadow knocked on the door, and came in, I started the shower. He started to get undressed, and pull off his bandages, I just looked at him in astonishment, How did he cut himself so many fucking times in such a short amount of time. 

All I could do is look at him and smile. After he got his bandages off I started to get undressed, and then I got in the shower, fallowed by shadow. We started to clean ourselves, when I was about half way done, Shadow started beating his head against the wall. I grabbed him into my arms, I held him close, He managed to squirm enough to turn around and look at me. I made sure to hold him close, hugging him. It seemed as if he only felt safe from whatever was haunting him whenever I touched him. I just smiled at him and kissed him, we were both sitting under the water, I made sure to tell him I wanted to help him get trough whatever was haunting him. He just stared at me and kissed me. He then sat down, I questioned what he was doing, but I didn't judge him one bit. I just sat down in front of him, he looked at me confused. Although he was cute, I really disliked him hurting himself, so I wasn't sure if I should smile back. So I just looked at him.

He started to play with his tail, so I knew he was nervous. I quickly grabbed his paws, to comfort him, he looked at me with his beautiful eyes. I almost felt bad for him going through this, but I knew I needed to keep my normal fun self or things could get bad. I don't want that for him or I. I just picked him up, smiling, and told him that we need to get out of the shower. He just looked at me. After he stared at me for a minute and then nodded. We got out of the shower and dried ourselves. We then got dressed and headed to the kitchen. I made him a nice cold drink, and we then sat on the couch and cuddled.
