[RODGER]

I heard glisten screaming from my room, so I, as a caring FRIEND rushed to see if he was alright. He wasn't. His face was filled with tears and he was holding his stomach, hyperventilating.

''DON'T FUCKING HURT ME!!'' Glisten screamed and crawled onto the very far edge of his bed, screaming and crying. He clearly had a nightmare.

''Glisten I won't hurt you! It's just me, Rodger. You're safe. You had a nightmare. I won't touch you. I just heard you scream and had to make sure you were alright!'' I assured him he was fine, and he calmed down, still hyperventilating but he got closer to me, eventually hugging me. I hugged him back, tighter and sat down onto his bed, rubbing his back gently.

''R-Rodger the dream i-it felt too real I-'' he was crying and I was assuring him he was fine.

''I know baby I know.. Take deep breaths. Your fine. I won't hurt you. I can stay here with you for the night if you want to.'' I was rubbing his back more often now, holding him close.

''...Please do..'' He sobbed and once he felt safe enough, he fell asleep right then and there on my arms. I have never felt this much love for someone.. It lit up a spark that was missing ever since Teagan left, and I didn't know how to act other than lay down in his bed and let him sleep ontop of me, staying there and running my hand through his carefully curled blonde hair, watching as his expression got to a more softer sweeter tone. He was having a happy dream.

I smiled and fell asleep shortly after, holding Glisten there.

When I woke up, Glisten was gone. So was his heels and his purse. I looked for the clock in his room: 8:15am. He must've went to breakfast then. I just got up and headed to my room, getting ready for the day. On my way to my room I walked across Dandy who was eating a Dandy ice cream. His eyes widened as he saw me.

''Good morning.. Rodger. What were you doing in Glisten's room?''

''...It's crazy what I'm about to say Dandy..'' I coughed.

''Well then spit it. Or I'll start thinking I have to transfer you upstairs with Teagan and the rest of the toons.'' He took another lick from his ice cream, giving me the raised eyebrow look. I gulped.

''Well uhm.'' I rubbed the back of my head. ''Glisten had a nightmare and he was screaming so I went to see if he was alright, that's all.'' I faked a smile, he clearly suspicious of my loyalty. I just coughed up a bigger smile and he smiled back.

''Alright! Make sure you two don't do anything else..'' he gave me the raised up eyebrow AGAIN and walked off. I sighed and ran to my room to get ready so I didn't miss breakfast..

After what felt like forever I got my suit on and rushed to the kitchen, my eyes trailing the tables looking for Glisten. I found him at the very far edge of one of the tables, his bag on the table. He was doing his makeup while eating his breakfast. I just smiled and ran to get my breakfast and join him on the table, sitting across from him.

''Do you mind? Your tray is like right on my makeup.'' Glisten rolled his eyes and pulled his stuff closer to himself. He was back to his attitude. I giggled and started eating my breakfast while staring at him. He was just glaring at me and got back to his makeup. I smirked and continued eating my breakfast.

''So what's up with you and the new dude huh? You two have been awfully close to one another lately.'' I was having a tea party with Teagan. Out of ALL toons, it had to be her. I just rolled my eyes and shrugged my shoulders.

''I don't know.. We are friends, I guess..'' I sipped my tea and looked off to the side. I really didn't know what my relationship is with Glisten. and I'm scared to find out..

Later that day I was laying in my bed just thinking till someone knocked onto the door.

''Come in.'' I said, standing up from my bed. It was Glisten. He slipped himself inside my room and closed the door after himself.

''Hi.. Sorry if this is a bad time but I kinda have a.. a request.'' he was fiddling with his fingers nervously.

''Mhm! What's up?'' I asked, leaning more into the conversation. He was smiling.

''Could I sleep here for the next couple of days? Just incase you know.. The nightmare comes back? I'd rather not.. be alone.'' He sighed.

My expression changed a bit and I smiled. ''Yeah of course why wouldn't you? Hey no need to ask me I- I'm fine if you wanna spend time with me and even share the same... bed, anything to help a friend out!'' I giggled and made space for Glisten whose expression lit up and he jumped onto the bed right next to me, looking around the room.

''Why is your room so goddamn ugly?''

I looked at him like he just threatened to kill my family.

''Excuse me?'' I asked, turning to him. I couldn't hold my laughter and just giggled a bit.

''You heard me. Why is your room so ugly?'' He turned to face me, giggling too.

''I don't understand your question. Can you repeat it for me?'' I laughed so hard Glisten almost fell out of the bed. He was atleast slipping down the edge. Once he lost his balance I grabbed his hand and pulled him into my embrace, our face inches away from each other. My eyes widened as I was super close to him. I just coughed and placed him down next to me, both of us staying quiet for the most part since that was rather.. awkward.

''Yeah uhm.. I wasn't in charge of deciding what my room would look like. Sorry if it's not really your taste.'' I mumbled out, Glisten listening to everything I was saying.

''No it's fine! I don't really mind it! I guess I'm just not used to seeing a room that's not.. pink.'' He giggled and brushed a loose hair behind his ear, not looking at my eyes..

We spent our night laughing and playing video games till the nightly announcement came in and we laid down to sleep.

''Rodger is it okay if I.. Lay down on top of your chest again?'' Glisten asked, fiddling with the edge of his t-shirt.

I gulped and then nodded nervously.

''Yeah of course! I don't really mind it! Go ahead!''

He smiled and laid down on top of me, his hands wrapped around my chest. I just played with his hair till he fell asleep. I took a couple nervous breaths till I too closed my eyes and tried to sleep. It was hard but I eventually managed to fall asleep.

From that night forward I swore to myself that I would protect him.
