3rd POV

Doi shoots up out of bed, breathing heavily. He looks around at his room where Red sleeps to his left and Duck to his right. Was that a dream? Doi thinks to himself.

He gets out of bed, walking out of their bedroom and down the hall to the front door. He opens the door and looks outside. There next to the house is a car parked sideways in the lawn. Doi scrunched his eyebrows, looking past the car but like usual, just to see empty blackness. The only time he's seen past the house and lawn was when his dad took him back home from Lily and Todneys house, and even then, his memory was very blurry.

Doi holds his breaths and takes a step outside, leaving the door open so he doesn't get locked out. He walks past the car, right to the edge of the darkness. "M-mommy? Dad?" Doi calls quietly.

He hesitates and then sticks his hand out into the darkness. He leaves in there for a moment, feeling his hand get suddenly very cold. He sumerges more of his body into the blackness and suddenly he's fully in there. He turns around looking back at the house, thinking it was gonna be gone, but it was still there, a perfect circle around the lawn and house and out of the circle was blackness.

Doi suddenly struggles to breath. He reaches to his neck, seeing if there was something blocking his airway but their was nothing. He opens his mouth to gasp for air, but nothing fills his lungs. He quickly runs back into the green lawn and his lungs fill with air again. He heaves deeply, his lungs breathing in the air and making sure it doesn't leave ever again.

Doi quickly rushes inside, closing the door behind him and locking all the locks. He goes back to his room and goes to lay in bed with Red. Red lays there still as Doi crawls around him, hugging onto him tightly, clutching his fur in his fists. "Red," Doi sobs. "I don't wanna be here anymore. I don't wanna go back to mommy or dad either. . . I just wanna be happy. . . I just want to be happy with someone who loves me."

~Present Time in story~

". . . It's been years since all of this first started and. . . I doubt it's gonna end anytime soon."

Red takes a shakey breath, looking away from Doi. Doi sniffles and moves his legs down away from his chest. The water ripples and rushes over his legs, the bubbles covering him. "I'm sorry that Dad is punishing you because of me. . . It's all my fault. I-i wish I was stupid and weird! Then dad would never be mad at me in the first place! I wish I was smarter and never made Dad mad and Mommy sad! I-I wish I was never even here! I wish I was never even Born!"

"Harry! Goddammit! I wish I was never your friend! I wish you were never born!"

Red gasps, jumping back. What was that memory he just had. Who was talking? Why were they mad? Red takes a breath and looks to Doi who cries deeply into his hands.  Dois depression falls over him, feeling his own. . . Child? Was Doi his child now? He felt Doi's sadness, and couldn't bear such a young thing to ever be that sad.

"Get up, Bubba," Red whispers to Doi. Doi sniffles, looking up at him. Red unplugs the drain and gets Doi's towel as Doi shakely stands up, his body shaking. Red wasn't sure if Doi was shaking because he was scared or because he was cold. It was probably a combined of both. Red ruffles Doi's hair dry with and towel and then wraps Doi in it, picking his up and cradling him in his arms.

Doi presses himself up against Reds warm body, listening to his heartbeat in his chest. He holds a handful of Red fur in his hand, his head buried deep within the small opening of the separation of Reds chest and arm. He called me Bubba. . . Doi thinks happily.

His thoughts were mixed up. He didn't know where to find comfort in Reds arms or be scared because his Dad was coming.

Red walks down to their room and sets Doi down on his bed, kneeling to get a fresh pair of overalls and underwear out of Doi's nightstand. "Here bubs, slip these on and I'll help you with your overalls," Red tells Doi.

Doi steps of the bed and pulls his underwear on, Red looking through Doi's nightstand for a nice pair of overalls. Red turns back to Doi and helps him put on his overalls, Doi holding Reds shoulder as he steps into them one leg at a time.

"Bubs," Red whispers to Doi, looking down at him as he clips Dois overall straps together. Doi looks at Red, his eyes slightly red from crying. "Bubs," Red repeats, "I'm glad you were born."

Doi stops breathing for a second in shock. Tears fill his eyes again and he jumps into Reds arms. He begins crying again and hugging Reds neck tightly.

"Shh-shhhh," Red hushes, stroking Doi's wet hair. "It's okay bubs, I'm right here. You are worth living. You deserve happiness. None of this is your fault. None of it, I promise you, and as long as I am here, I promise I will make you happy one day. So happy you will forget about all of these terrible things."

"What's all this crying about?" Duck grumbles, sitting up in Reds bed, rubbing his eyes.

Doing goes quiet, gripping Reds hair. Red continues to hold Doi, he stands up, Doi still hugging on to his neck. Red suports Doi's body and walks over to his bed, sitting down next to Duck.

"He's just a little tired," Red lies. "I just got him out of the bath and he's still not fully awake."

"Ah, well no reason to whine over that, silly," Duck laughs. He yawns and rolls to the left side of the bed, standing up and walking over to his nightstand. "I smell chicken. Did you cook breakfast?"

"Mm-hmm," Red nods. "Go make your plate, we'll be right there."
