You grabbed your phone, put it in the purse that matched your jacket, and said goodbye to Lilia, Silver, Sebek, and Malleus. You made your way to Heartsylabul, preparing yourself for cuddles on end. You were about 30 minutes early, so you could stay for an hour before you had to leave and pick Grim up. Stepping inside the neat dormitory, you knocked at the door, eager to see everyone.

Although you didn't see it, a little red-head saw you through the window.

INSIDE (YOUR NOT IN THERE YET):

"Trey! Cater! Aesira is here!" Riddle exclaimed, overjoyed for once. Cater basically ran down the stairs, and Trey went to the door.

The others inside the dorm were murmuring about you, discussing who you were to first years.

"He is that one kid, headmasters child."
"I heard he is powerful, maybe if I.."

WITH YOU:

The door flung open, and you walked inside. "Helloo~ Catty, I'm here."

"Aesira! Hiiiiiii~!" He took his phone and took a selfie with you.

"Hehe, Hi Riddle and Trey. And all you baby first years!"

"Hello, Aesira." Trey smiled. "I assume you and Cater are going to play video games or whatever you do in his room, right?" He asked playfully. "Mhm!"

"Hello to you to Aesira. Welcome." Riddle humbly invited you.

"Thank you."

"C'mon Aesira!" Cater grabbed your wrist and led you upstairs. Quickly, in a rush, you waved goodbye to them, almost slipping on the stairs.

IN CATERS ROOM

"There is something I wanna talk about with you.." He said, sounding a bit upset. "What is it?" You took off your shoes, jacket, and plopped on his bed like usual.

He sat beside you, and you both went under the covers. "Well- uhm. How do I explain it?" He muttered.

He hugged you and nudged his face in your chest, cuddling you while you played with his hair. "Take your time.." you said, mesmerized by how soft his locks were. He sighed. "Am I not good enough?" He spoke so soft you, it was almost unbearable.

"What?"

"Well, I don't think I'm good enough. I bother every body, everyone thinks I'm annoying. Goddammit.. why can't I just be better? Why can't I be like Trey? He is so kind and never gets on anyone's nerves."

You took a sharp breath. "Cater! Don't you EVER say that again. Who made you think that?" You were ready to pounce on whoever made him think that.

Tears began to prick his eyes, ready to fall. "It's okay to cry, Cater. I'll be here," you said softly, caressing his cheek.

Those kind words really touched him because he was immediately he sobbing into your shirt. His sight made your stomach hurt with guilt. The same went for the way he kept you close to him, almost as if you would let him go.

"Hey, it's okay. Shh~" you whispered. "Who made you think that, Catty?" You asked him quietly. "T-he other thi-rd years." You clenched his shirt. "Catty?" You asked, as he hummed, stilling sobbing.

You inhaled, preparing for what you were about to say. "Fu- I mean, screw those di- meanies. They are worthless, sick, slimey creatures. You aren't annoying, Cater. You make everyone feel confident, and feel like they are worth something. Y'know why? Because you are you. You are good enough. Trey is Trey, but you are you. Don't be anyone else for anyone but yourself. Okay?"

He sobbed even more, but he soon got quieter as you rubbed his back. In 15 minutes, you both were passed out.

40 MINUTES LATER: 5:55
