Ch3: Getting to know you

I woke slowly, the atmosphere of the room was calm, and quiet. And the surface I lied upon was comfortable, it also seemed as if it was moving up and down in a rhythmic manner.  The air around me shifted every so often, and my body felt like it was being watched with stone-like eyes.

Then I recalled where I was.

My eyes fluttered open, inwardly gasping. I pushed myself to sit up, and look around. Only to see the humans sight resting on me, anxiety rising in my gut.

"Huh," he began, "You actually stayed." He said, his eyes were a little more then halfway open. Due to the extra sleep he must have gotten.

The corners of his mouth raised in a smirk, "Thanks." He said, looking away for a moment. "Hey, can I... uhm... pick you up? I know I didn't ask before, and I was rude. I'm very sorry for that- again. May I pick you up this time?" He asked.

I turned to face him, sitting up. I gave this question good thought, did I really have a choice? Before he had plucked me off the counter like I was an object, he had closed his fingers around my body, constricting my movements, and overall causing me to panic as if I were a newbie borrower at a human disco party. I shivered at the thought of getting crushed between those fingers...

Would he act different this time? I mean, he had asked.

I decided to see how he would go about  doing this.

"Y-..." I hesitated, looking up at him, "yes..." I said.

"Heh, you have a small voice, I almost didn't hear you." He admitted, a sliver of humor in his voice.

He cupped his hand below me and slowly sat up, I fell backwards into his palm. Supporting me, it almost felt like he was protecting me at the same time, but that surely couldn't happen, not with a human. Humans didn't care about anything smaller then them, that's how it is, that's how it's always been...

He held me between his fingers, seemingly marveling at my tiny form. He took one of my arms between his fingers, gently twisting it, observing the tiny details on my body.

This is the part where he experiments on me. I thought, this is where he gets curious enough that he wants to know what I am. I felt my heartbeat accelerate again, my mind swirling with all the terrible thoughts my parents drilled into my mind.

"Hey, are you alright?" He suddenly asked, letting my arm go. "Talk to me."

I didn't like this, he put me on the spot. It felt like a trial, like if I said something wrong or angered him I would die.

"Do you not like being touched? Is that it...?" He asked, "Say something."

I became overwhelmed with a fiery feeling spreading all over me, with worry being the main cause. I looked up at the human, but that only made it worse. I felt weak, I couldn't breathe. I was overpowered so easily by this single human being, why was he keeping me alive? Why hasn't he done anything yet?  Was he playing with my feelings? I pushed away his fingers and collapsed on his palm, landing on my hands and knees. I couldn't see straight, my limbs felt numb. I don't like humans, why did I let him catch me? Why didn't I move right away? Why did I-

Suddenly I felt a gentle feeling run down my back, sending chills down my spine along with it. A breath caught in my throat, interrupting my thoughts. Then, it happened again, and a third time. I slowly turned my head around, to see that the human was... petting me?

"Take deep breaths, it's okay. You don't have to speak right now." He said, his voice more gentle then before.

I took his advice, and breathed. My limbs felt shaky, and the feeling of being pet... was oddly nice.

I hesitantly sat down, sitting on my legs as he continued to pet me. I took a final deep breath, before looking up at him, he blinked and smiled pleasantly, in a sort of warm-hearted smirk.

His fingers curled around me, and I leaned into them. Looking for some sort of support, his pets faded, and I rested against the bridges of his fingers. Sitting there for a while before I realized...

What just happened?
