GRIMASIS

CHAPTER 7

Youth
POV: Kyle

"Ey, umm... Moth, is everything alright? coming down with a cold or the flu?" I asked, I don't know what to even say... but I do care about them...

"My stomach feels funny... But it's my chest that kills me..." Moth answered.

"Ah, That must really hurt, Is everything doing okay? I heard your Pet Sammy has been taken away... That must be the reason why your chest hurts." I said

"Yeah, It's hurts like hell! I'm hurt. I can't imagine life without the poor thing." Moth replies

I look at Moth in pity... I tried thinking on how to help them, Then an idea came up!

"Moth... What if I gave you a hug and hold you like a baby?" I asked

Look I know it's not the best comfort, but it does give healing magic, and that's good for the body, and it gives the immune system a boost.

Moth looked at me with sparkles in their eyes, Then they opened their arms right open and collapsed their body on my chest. i wrapped my arms around the poor fella and began patting their head gently... I felt their pulse in their neck... I had hope for Moth that they'll be okay, and they will be recovered in no time. I gently held Moth like a baby in my arms as they clanged onto me

"Thank you so much..." Moth said in their most relaxed but happy voice

"Awh, Its no problem... I know I usually don't do this, but it did seem as if you needed physical affection." I said

I can feel my own heart pounding, Am I getting really serotonin by a computer and Science lover? Or am I in love?... I'm not sure... But never mind on that. What matters is that Moth is getting better, and it will take more than this comfort session...

"Are you feeling better?" I ask them, in a gentle voice.

"Maybe..." replied Moth.

I knew that Moth was getting sleepy so gently stroked their hair.

I've been friends with them since Naomi became besties with Yvonne. And we used to hang out sometimes... Not much though because Moth either was at the hospital visiting Yvonne or At the clinic They go to get their eyes checked. But most of the time we hanged out was the hospital... Because Naomi visited Yvonne too Sometimes, and I always came because I liked Moth's company. Even though they was really shy and quiet most of the time and always talked about one cartoon about a scientist giraffe or games they liked, But they still were friendly, Even though there was rarely any video games there or any arcade machines we always just played with the toys there or just socialised and talked about what we liked and what we wanna be when we grew up, but Moth's conversations was always sad... because they would constantly say that Yvonne was Not getting better and they lost hope, or they would talk about why they wanted to be a doctor when they grew up, it was because of Yvonne... But when Yvonne fully recovered Moth's conversations became a bit more light hearted. They still wanna be in healthcare but he mainly wants to be a paramedic. Which is probably way cooler than working as a doc anyways

Those were the times... Just Me and Moth, In the hospital Play area... I even remember when me and Moth just met!

I remember their reaction when I saw their cool green and yellow snake eyes,

Of course I promised them that I won't put a flashlight to their eyes until they went temporarily blind and their eyes cried with blood, younger me was smart enough to know that was wrong

I listen to Moth's gentle soft breathing as I was gently stroking their hair, I saw their chest gently rise up and down... Moth had fallen asleep... It also calmed me down to see them so calm and quiet... I didn't want to leave Moth alone since they would be scared if they woke up alone... they looked beautiful when they were asleep.
