Food Poisoning.
That's what it was. Apparently his burger was not cooked all the way and other stuff happened that caused it. Anyways he was sick now. His mom brought in a small Tv for him so he could watch stuff. It was small though, considering it was only gonna be there for a little bit. He laid in his bed bored as The Facts of Life played. He wasn't very interested in it, but it was the only thing that was watchable for him, considering the other stuff on was "too mature" for him or too babyish for him. He sighed as he blankly stared at the Tv.
"God I hate this.." he thought to himself. He looked next to him, which there was a bowl and some water for him. He laid on his side and closed his eyes, hoping to fall asleep. But that was quickly shut down when he heard his door creak open. He hesitantly opened his eyes and saw his younger brother Chris in the doorway.

He groaned as he mumbled,
"What do you want?" Chris shrugged.
"I don't know. I wanna hang out with you."
"No you can't, I'm sick."
"But it's not contagious."
"Whatever." Chris walked up to his bed and sat on the floor. He looked at the Tv.
"What's this?"
"I don't know." Michael turned away and closed his eyes attempting to fall asleep again.
"Are you okay Michael." Michael slowly turned his head towards the small child.
"Yeah, I just want to sleep."
"Oh sorry.." he mumbled. Michael turned around and closed his eyes again. Chris wandered around his room. He opened the closet and looked around in it. Mostly just clothes that Michael thought were badass. But Chris saw something that caught his eye. It was something colorful in a closet full of mostly neutrals. No doubt this colorful thing was small. He rummaged through the closet a bit more until he found it. It was a small rainbow. Chris chuckled.
"Rainbows are for girls." He thought. Boys never drew rainbows, unless they were young and it was in a sunny drawing.

Chris looked next to the rainbow and saw a Polaroid picture of him and a boy. One of his friends he presumed. Except.. he wasn't part of Michael's friend group... he's not part of the group of kids that tease him every now and then. No, I don't think he's even seen him before. He grabbed the picture off the wall.
"Hey Michael." He said, backing out of the closet.
"Whaaaaaat..?" He slowly turned towards
Chris who was by Michael's bed now.
"What's this?" He held up the picture and the rainbow. Michael's eyes went wide and he snatched the objects.
"NOTHING!!" He put them aside and scrunched up his face.
"WERE YOU GOING THROUGH MY THINGS??!"
"Well.. uh.. I was bored! And you weren't paying attention to me."
"Ok first of all, I'm sick. I gotta rest! And second of all, DON'T GO THROUGH MY THINGS!! ESPECIALLY MY CLOSET!!" He screamed.
"Put these back!" Michael yelled and handed Chris the picture and the rainbow. Chris nodded and put it back in his closet behind lots of clothes.

Michael, who was now embarrassed, stuffed his face in a pillow.
"Michael... Who was that?" I've never seen him before." Michael sighed before turning his head towards his brother.
"I... he's my.. uh.. friend. My best friend. Best of the best friends." He smiled awkwardly. "So best that you can't tell ANYONE about us. Kay?" Chris nodded confused.
"Anyways.. What's Liz doin?"
"She's playing with her dolls."
"What about mom?"
"Cleaning the Kitchen."
"What about dad?"
"Working."
"What were you doing?"
"I was watching Tv but then I got bored."
"Don't you have any friends?" He sighed rolling back on his side and closing his eyes.
"Not really.." he mumbled.
"We'll go find some fucking friends.."

"I try!" He yelled. "But no one likes me! They all think I'm a big baby! I have every right to be scared of the robots!" He sat down with his back against Michael's bed stand. "It's just that.. I do like the animatronics, they're really cool! But they're so scary.. they have big mouths and lots of robot stuff and.." he sighed with a sniffle.
"It's so weird. I'm the owner's son and I'm scared of his creations.." Michael had turned to face his brother, or at least the back of his head.
"Well.. I'm sure there's someone out there who would play with you. You just haven't found them yet." Chris nodded and they sat in silence as the Tv played.

"Do you ever get nightmares..?" Chris asked out of the blue.
"Huh?"
"Do you ever get nightmares? I do sometimes. Every once in a while I'll get a nightmare. But.. it'll be very scary.. it has to do with the animatronics. It's scary.."
"No, not really. I don't have nightmares." Michael replied.
"Oh.." they sat in silence again for a while. Michael yawned and stretched.
"Listen, I've been trying to go to bed for the past 5 minutes so I'm gonna sleep now okay?"
"Kay.." Chris mumbled.
"Don't look through my shit." Chris nodded as Michael turned. Michael closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep. Before he fell asleep though, he felt someone get in his bed... presumably Chris, and hug him. He slightly smiled at this fact as he fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Michael woke up some hours later. An unknown thing was playing on the TV, and the person who climbed in his bed was gone now. He slowly sat up, his stomach hurting. He slowly walked his way to the bathroom. When he got there, he sat on the toilet. And then he was in there for at least 8 minutes. When he was finally done he washed his hands and made his way down the hall. Everyone was in the Living room sitting around watching Tv.
He stood between the kitchen and Living room and watched them watch Tv. Ella turned around and noticed her son.
"Michael! How are you?" She stood up and walked over to Michael. She cupped Michael's face as he said,
"I'm okay."
"Aww.." she kissed Michael's forehead. He chuckled and wiped it off.
"Mom.." Ella smiled and laughed a bit too before walking off.

"Mom, I'm hungry."
"Ok, you can get something small." Michael opened the fridge and grabbed a yogurt. He walked over to the silverware drawer and pulled out a spoon. He walked up behind his family and sat down eating his yogurt. He scooted over to Chris and whispered
"Did you sleep with me for a bit?" He nodded. He smiled a bit. Michael ate his yogurt as they watched The Fox and the Hound. Which came out last year but it was one of Chris' favorite movies. Michael finished his yogurt and complained,
"It's so cooold.."
"Wot are you talking about?" William said.
"It's cold, but I'm hot at the same time.."
"That's because you're sick Michael." Elizabeth said. Michael rolled his eyes as his mom walked up to him.
"Why don't you get back to bed."
"But it's so boring.." he groaned.
"Do whatever you want then, just don't get to crazy." Michael nodded. He walked back to his room and sat on the floor, with a blanket wrapped around him. He grabbed his skateboard and some markers as he added some tiny details and fixed some things up in it. After he finished that he laid back in bed and went back to sleep.
