The Boy With A Child

Chapter 68

Onyx's POV
She wrapped her arms around my neck. I started rubbing her back.

"I won't let you go."

"Good. Thank you."

I kissed the side of her head.

"Anything for you. Try to not get too worked up. You might upset Rocky. I'm right here. Relax."

I don't remember the last time, she's been like this.

"Let's get more comfortable."

I helped her move up more. I laid down and put my arms out. Primrose pulled herself into my arms.

"D-do you think, I'm scaring her?"

"Don't think about that."

I pressed our foreheads together.

"It's okay. It's alright. I am not going anywhere. You know how I get when, I'm like this. That being said, you might fall asleep. I won't leave you. I'll stay here while you sleep. Just like you do, for me."

She sniffled.

"Love, shut your eyes."

"I'm scared. T-that happens to you right?"

"Yes. Sometimes. I just...never tell you. Thank you for telling me though. I'll definitely stay right here."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

I moved hair out of her face. I tucked it behind her ear. I started caressing her cheek.

"W-what if Mari needs you?"

"I'll figure it out. Don't worry about that."

Primrose's POV
I started playing with his earring.

"How come you don't play with your own earrings?"

"I-I like the way yours feel. I like rubbing them. I like playing with your necklace too."

I yawned.

"There's a lot of things I like about you."

"Oh yeah?"

"Mhm. I like your smile. I like seeing your face. I like laying in bed with you. I like falling asleep next to you. I like the way, you are with kids."

My eyes started getting heavy.

"I like when you hold me. I like having sex with you."

He chuckled.

"I like your hugs. I like the fact that, you put up with my bullshit. I like when your hands are in my hair. I like holding hands with you."

I yawned again.

"I like snuggling with you."

I felt my eyes close. I felt my forehead get kissed. I felt him running his fingers through my hair. I woke up and saw him. He was still next to me. Just like he said he would be.

"Hey babe. Feel any better?"

I nodded.

"Good. I'll be honest. I did get up for a bit. Marionette needed to eat."

"That's okay. I don't mind."

"I didn't realize, you like so many things about me."

My face started to heat up.

"T-that wasn't a dream? I actually said it?"

"Yeah. You did. I thought it was cute. I like all the same things about you. I talked to Roxie a bit."

"You did?"

"Yeah. She's a pretty good listener. Just like her mom."

I smiled. Onyx kissed me.

"Did I sleep the rest of the day?"

"Kinda. It's 1:15 in the morning actually."

"How come you're still awake?"

"I wanted to make sure, you're okay. Are you hungry? There's some leftovers in the fridge."

"You're so cute. I'm not right now. Thanks though."

"You're welcome. Feel free to go back to sleep. I should sleep too."

"You should. I don't like when you're cranky."

"Same."

He started rubbing my stomach. I wrapped my arms around his.

"Have you talked to any of your family?"

"I talked to Axel earlier. He's got a crush."

"Oh yeah? Did he say who?"

"No. He didn't. He was adorable though. He was asking how I knew, I liked you."

"Did you tell him?"

"Yes."

"You sound tired. Please sleep."

"Okay. Okay. I will."

"Thank you."
