It had been a while since the last time Victor had slept properly and it had become very obvious over time. The dark bags under his eyes and the dullness of his once bright and glowing skin were the proof. He knew it wasn't the best thing for him to be staying up so late so often and even though friends and family kept pointing it out, he just couldn't help it. So many things would keep him awake at night. The cruelty of life, the mistakes of the past, the beauty and perfection of the fantasy world, the bitterness of the real world and the cold empty space next to him on his bed. Not that he exactly wanted it filled by another person. He was fine on his own. No person needed. Maybe just a teddy bear or something.

That was how the boy used to think until his bedroom door was slowly pushed open and an endearingly familiar figure appeared in the doorway.

Beautiful ginger hair, perfect blue eyes, and a voice so sweet that Victor couldn't hide the smile on his pale face. As the gorgeous figure plunked herself down on the bed and cuddled him tenderly, he couldn't help but remember the good in his life and though the sorrow he earlier felt had then been lightened and the empty spot now filled with the love of his life, thoughts still bothered him until another purr fell from the ginger beauty's lips and anything negative was pushed out of Victor's head for the remainder of the night.

Though it was another late night, it was a peaceful one. As Victor nestled himself under the blankets with his arm wrapped gently around the pretty little lady, he whispered a final remark before allowing sleep to whisk him away

"Good kitty"
"Meow"
