"Don't ever walk alone." My mother once said.
Well, about that... I might've walked alone & witnessed a brutal murder.

I awkwardly caressed Emilio's head as he slept on my chest. I could barely breathe because his entire body is on top of me & this man is huge.
He's been sick for the past few days & I blame myself because I got him sick. He's been coming over a lot & clinging onto me, so he practically got himself sick by surrounding himself with me knowing I was sick, but it's whatever.
I took in a deep breath & tried to breathe properly.
"Milio?" I whispered tapping his head twice. He immediately woke up & lifted his head, staring up at me with low & red eyes.
"Hm?"
"I can't breathe, move please." I said, a cough vibrating from my chest & he nodded. He moved his body off mine, but his head remained on my chest.
I continued rubbing his head, running my fingers through his wavy dark hair.
"You okay?" I asked & he nodded.
"I'm fine." He whispered, his voice being deeper than usual.
I stopped rubbing his head & he groaned.
"Please don't stop." He whispered & I smiled, loving the soft side of him.
"Hold on." I whispered. I placed my hand on his forehead, checking if he had a fever or not.
Once I was sure he didn't have a fever, I went back to rubbing his head & he let out a satisfied sigh.
"You're a baby you know that?" I teased & he chuckled. He lifted his head & intensely stared into my eyes, his lips curling forming into a smirk.
"If I'm a baby, I'm sure you'll allow me to suck your boobs right?" He asked with a smirk plastered on his lips.
"No." I scoffed & he hummed.
"Ask your mom, I'm sure she'll breast feed you." I laughed & he tensed up, his entire body language changed. The air in the room shifted, the aura around him turned dark & I swallowed hard.
My smile slowly began to fade when I noticed his blue eyes darkening. Goosebumps decorated my skin at the look in his eyes.
"Emilio-"
"Don't mention my mother again." He blankly stated & I nodded vigorously, the fear I once had for him slowly creeping up on me.
