Simple Beings

Chapter 4~

He held his breath as he opened the door fully and saw the guest lying on the floor squirming about. Their eyes opened slightly and struggling to get up. They fussed and tried reaching for the sheets. They looked so sad and helpless as they struggled to even do that. He felt pity and slowly approached the petite weak body on the floor.

As they heard his foot steps they quickly quieted down and laid completely still.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to harm you..."

They turned slightly to look at him,

"A-ah..."

He bent down and picked her little body up and flashed her a small smile.

"See? I mean you no harm."

They looked up at him and then suddenly laid limply in his arms.

"Oh...D-did i kill her...?"

He began to panic and quickly examined the room. They looked up at him suddenly and blinked slowly at him. A confused expression on their face. He froze and looked down at her. His eyes slowly trailed down and realized that he was holding her naked body.

He quickly rushed over to the bed and tried placing her back in it. But she quickly grasped onto his shirt and held on for dear life. She whined and squirmed about again.

"H-hey what's wrong...?"

She just simply stared at him with small tears starting to form in her eyes. He bit his lip and picked her back up.

"Fine...I just can't...hold you like this..."

"H-ho-ld m-me...?"

He stared at her surprised by this.

"Y-you can talk?"

She formed a small smile and shook her head.

"E-eh? Am I hearing things...?"

Once again they shook their head. She looked down at the bed, and tried reaching for the sheets. He leaned down a bit to make it easier on her. The sudden movement caused them to quickly retreat their arm and hold onto him again.

"S-sorry..."

He sighed and reached for the sheet himself.

"Here."

They hesitated a bit before finally snatching the sheet from him and placing it on herself.

"You know I would've offered you some clothes..."

He sighed and tried placing her back down, this time she didn't fuss or squirm about. They just simply stared at him and held a small section of his sleeve.

"You don't want me to leave...?"

She nodded, he smiled at her and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Where am I...?"
