I just really...
I tread up the stairs slowly, watching my step. Trying not to be consumed by thought, I don't want to trip and fall.
That would suck, Tree already has to deal with Black Hole, it would be awful if I got hurt as well.
I bring my foot up again.
Walking is pretty boring.
...
I stare at his door in front of me.
I'm scared.
Please be okay....
Please be alive...
...
I open the door slowly, peeking my head around the door frame. Tree's facing towards the bed, I step in worriedly. The room is dimly lit, only a few streaks of light shinning through the window. Tree turns around and smiles, their eyes red and puffy.
"I-is...is everything okay?" I ask, picking at my nails. They nod, giving me a hug. I shut my eyes, squeezing them back.
They pull away, smiling some more. "...Are they awake?" I inquire, looking up at them.
The nod, motioning towards them bed.
They're alive.
...
They're okay...
...
...
...
My dad's okay.
I sprint towards the bed, throwing myself on them. They're okay, he's alive.
He laughs, his voice hoarse. I feel tears brim in my eyes, letting them spill over. I hold them tight, not wanting them to leave me again.
Not after that.
"I-...I thought....I though you were going t-to die..." I admit, sobbing into the blanket. They pat my head, holding me close to them.
"I-it...i-i-it's o-okay...I-I'm okay...n-n-now..." They stutter, smiling at me as well. I sniff, leaning on their chest.
Tree sits on the bed next to me. Patting my back, I cough, wiping my face. "Be gentle with him." They chuckle, placing a strand of my hair behind my ear. I nod, smiling weakly.
"S-sorry..." I mutter, laying next to them.
He nods, "I-I'm...f-f-fine..." They chuckle, shifting a bit in place. Tree rolls his eyes, shaking his head. "You always say that."
"A-a-and I'm a-all wa-ys right...!" They cough, smiling as they shake their head. I laugh, hugging him tightly.
"Sure," Tree smiles, giving them a small kiss on the nose. I chuckle, happy things were slowly shifting back to normal.
We talk a bit more, laying together. It was nice having them back, I missed their voice.
The hours bleed away, the sky darkens as the day ends quietly. We barley even notice, so lost in the joy of having my dad back.
Tree yawns, stretching a bit. "We should head to bed soon." Black Hole shrugs, patting my head some more.
"I want to keep talking though..." I yawn, hiding inside the blanket. "I'm not...tired..."
Tree chuckles, patting my back. "You can sleep here if you would like..." he suggests. I nod, liking that idea.
He gets up and turns off the lights. I crawl underneath the bed, shutting my eyes.
"Good night Jr..." Tree whispers, I nod, feeling sleep over take me. "G-g-good n-night Ch-cherry Jr...."
"Night dads..."
Tree P.O.V:
We both sit in shock as the kid falls asleep. Did...?
Did they just call us 'dads'?
...
I look up at Black Hole, they have the same surprised look on their face. I smile widely at them, giggling a bit.
"Th-they...he-..." I laugh quietly, happy that they were so comfortable around us. "W-we're d-dads n-now?"
I nod, wiping my happy tears away. "I guess we are..."
They give me a small smile, patting Jr.'s head softly.
"...a-are w-w-we going t-to be g-good d-dad's?" he asks softly, shaking slightly.
I nod, "We'll try our best...we'll do great," I whisper, smiling at them. They nod, scooting over a bit to make more room. They wince, holding their bandages.
"You okay...?"
They nod, I need to change their bandages soon. They don't look all that sanitary now...
"I-I-it just...st-stings a-a bi-bit..." They admit, laying back in the bed. I crawl close up next to them.
"Well...we should head to bed soon." I say, they shift again. "What's wrong?" I ask.
"I-I'm j-just...s-sc-scared...I su-ppose..." He admits, holding my hand. I urge them to speak, wondering why they were so frightened.
"Why?"
"I-I m-m-mean...W-wh...what if I d-don't w-wake u-up again...a-a-and I l-leave y-you gu-ys again...?" They sniff, I lean against them, holding their hand tightly.
"It'll be okay...I promise...you won't leave us..." I whisper, giving them a small kiss.
"You're okay..." I whisper in their ear, they nod leaning close to me. "You won't leave us."
They nod again, wiping their face. I smile, "Now, go to sleep." I chuckle, leaning into them. They smile, shutting their eyes.
