A Tiny Surprise

*insert cheesy title here*

You were sound asleep,peacefully breatheing in and out softly...all was peaceful...

Untill you had tiny hands squishing your cheek. "HUMAN!" a voice rang out, and as you woke up, you could hear whimpers and crys. You saw Mac on your face trying to wake you up "w-what is it Mac? Whats wrong?" you asked sleepily as you picked him up

"MY BROTHER IS HAVING A NIGHTMARE AND MY USUAL TECHNIQUES ARENT WORKING!" he said, his usual loud tone muffled by his bandana as he pointed to Cheese

You look over to the forementioned tiny skeleton. He was tossing and turning, whimpering, murmuring incoherent babble. You look at Mac and set him on the nightstand, and you give cottonball from in your drawer "here, just relax...ill handle this." he nods in response and hugs the little cottonball adorably. You go over to cheese and lightly shake him, trying to wake him up

"n...no....please....!" he begged in his sleep, tears pricking his eyes as small whisps of orange flames tapered from underneath his eye... He seems scared of somthing...

You gently pick him up and rub his skull comfortingly, trying to coax him out of this state of fear. "shhh, shhh, its okay, its okay"

He tries to push away from you at first, whimpering and crying... But once he hears and feels you trying to calm him, he clings to you like a life line.

Now that hes starting to calm down, you try to wake him up again "Cheese, wake up, its okay..." you coo as you start rubbing his cheek...
Bad idea.

Cheese bit down onto your finger as he woke up, his eye flaring like a wild fire. He bites really fucking hard! He acually drew blood.

You yelp in pain but resist the urge to pull away "Cheese!" you say looking down at him, tugging on your finger a little

Chesse looks up at you, then down at your finger, he immediately lets go "o-oh god- i-i-im so sorry! I-i-" he tries to use the sleeve of his jacket To soak up the blood, some blood still leaking from his chin.

"no! No! Its okay" you pull your finger away, you found found that it was burnt from the flames that was coming from his eye...
Great, now to come up with an epic story of how that happened for your co workers! Thatll be fun....

Mac comes over worriedly, getting from the nightstand silently
somehow? That nightstand was like, five inches away from the bed...and hes tiny!
Okay, maybe hes just a really good jumper.
Anyways.
"HUMAN? IS EVERYTHING O- OH GOSH!" he dropped ths cottenball he was just so adorably waddling over with and came up to you "Y-YOUR FINGER!" he exclaimed worriedly as he held it in his tiny hands

You pulled your finger away "no, no, Mac its fine!- c-cheese?" you squeaked, finding cheese roughly grabbing your finger, looking at it intently, you were confused "Cheese? What're you-" you froze as your jaw dropped

Cheeses eye started to glow as his fingers gave a sift green glow, the burn started to heal. The skin seperated from his bite started to stich itself back together, but before it healed all the way he gad to stop. He was softly panting as he teleported away.

You looked at your finger and then around the room "Cheese!?" you yelp worriedly as you got up, you looked down at Mac "ill be right back, im gonna go find Cheese, stay here" you said, pointing down at the bed

Mac looked up at you "OKAY, BUT...BE CAREFUL OKAY?" he warned, sitting down with with the cottenball, setting his chin ontop of it before burying his face into it, his eye lights locked onto you

You looked down at him confused for a moment but decided to shrug it off as you started your epic search for the tiny skeleton...
You first check under the bed...
Nope.
No Cheesey skelez...
Just an army of colorful socks.
Like, a bunch. Theres acually a small pile of them, a rainbow of soft foot pants. You decided that this has absolutly no relevance to anything so you stand up and decided to move on. You check the closet...
Nope.
EVEN.MORE.FUCKING.SOCKS.
My god- just move on. You check the bathroom, and there you see Cheese reaching up into the cabinet "Cheese?" you ask as you peeked into the door

Cheese looked up at you wide eyed before the box he was reaching for fell over ontop of him, he quickly opens the box, and pulled out a bandaid "c-cmere" he said, waving a hand over to himself

You hesitately came over "Cheese? Whatre you-" he then grabbed your finger and wrapped the bandaid around it "oh-" your eyes widened and you couldnt help but blush softly at his determination to help you "aww, Cheese- you really didnt have to-" you said wirh a soft smile

"yes, i did have to, its the least i could do after troubling you so much! You gave us everything weve ever dreamed of...and...and then i woke you up and hurt you! Anyone else wouldve dusted me for that!" he said, putting the box back and looking up at you worriedly "im so sorry" he apoligized, looking away in shame

You look down at Cheese sadly and hesitately reached forward to him, he flinched and tensed up, squeezeing his eyes shut in response...you lightly place your finger on his head, gently petting him sootheingly "Cheese...i cant tell you how many times ive been bitten and woken up in the middle of the night, its really nothing to me...." you reassured him as you put the rest of his fingers back and gently pick him up

Cheese gasped and clung to your fingers, he looked up to you blinking in disbeleif "..." tears pricked his eye sockets "i...i...i dont deserve....any of this...." he said, but despite his protest, he smiled softly

You lift him up "its okay...really...i care about you" you said as you held him, petting the top of his skull comfortingly "come on...ill have to get to work soon..." you said as you walked out of the bathroom, comforting a little skelebaby.

Mac....
Was nowhere to be seen.

You looked around "Mac?" you called worriedly, Cheese poked up from behind your fingers, scanning the area "...b...bro?" he called worriedly

There was shuffling and little cries and shouts coming from under the bed "Helmph-" you hear, you look under the bed...
To see Mac wrapped up in a bunch of socks, you chuckled softly "Really Mac?" you ask amused, he nods in response "shorrmy!" he responds and shifted about a bit more, you take him out of the socks and untangle him chuckling "its alright...to be honest, it was kind of funny" you admit and hear Cheese giving a soft laugh.
