Final space: A home

Sleep?

Gary pov
I wiggled a squirmed in my bed, i just couldent sleep.
"Psst, psst, PSST, mooncake, mooncake , moonca-"
"Chookitty?" He answered tiredley
"I cant sleep, i mean seriously, it's just closing your eyes and running around in fluffy dream clouds of love, it's never that hard, right?"
Silence.
"Mooncake?"
He fell back asleep, i sighed and put on my robe and slippers.
I walked out of my room and made my way to the kitchen.
I walked into the kitchen and poured a sweet, warm milky treat.
"You really should be asleep." Hues voice rung out suddenley,
"HUE your worse than dad, I'm fine." Little cato walked in and plopped a seat in one of the twisting and moving chairs as he rested his head in His hand tiredley.
"Little cato, you are an 14 year old growing, ventrexian boy. You need three times the amount of normal sleep, food, water, and exercise as a human boy would."
Little cato sighed,
"I know HUE, you've only told me every night for the past month ive been up."
"And of that month you have not once mentioned any of this to the crew." HUE responded.
Little cato sighed again and rested his head In his arms.
"I know HUE, i know."
"Why?"
Little cato paused, then sent a glared up to the ceiling.
"Everyone has enough things to worry about HUE, Quinn's trying to get every thing with the stupid infinity gaurd back to order, Gary's been working on the repairs for you, and dad..." he paused.
"Dad needs to focus on recovering, I'm fine HUE, no one needs to worry." He laid his head on the table.
"Its stupid,"
why would little cato not think we would be here for him?
Little cato had his head in his arms hidden from view.
I was really confused.
"You need to go back to bed little cato. I've scan-checked your vitals, you need to sleep if not you will get sick." HUE told him,
Little cato lifted his face, it was tear stained and puffy.
"HUE..." He started,
"HUE, i cant." His voice broke
"What if Quinn gets called in and leaves, what if Gary cant fix you and were stuck, what if Dad-" he paused
"What if something happens to Dad? What if i lose him again HUE? What if there all gone and something bad happens HUE?" He started crying again
"Its all i can see," he laid his head back in his arms,
"All i can see is waking up and there gone.
Dad, Gary, Quinn, mooncake, everyone."
"What if I'm asleep and-" he sniffled
"What if HE comes back and I'm a sleep? He'll take them HUE." He sobbed out.
I clutched my fist to my side, that evil crapzilla, Lord commander, even now he still gets us.
"That will never happen," little cato whipped his head around and looked at me.
"We will never let that happen," i continued
"I promised dident, I?" I walked over to him,
"We're all going to be right here when you go to sleep and right here when you wake up, promise." I took his pinky with mine.
He sniffled and wrapped his arms around my neck.
"How..how-"
I read his mind,
"The whole time, i just came I here to get some milk, but im happy to help my favorite rebel right?
He rubbed his eyes and nodded,
"We aren't going any were, we would never do that, and if we ever do, i as captin give you permission to kick us all in the balls." I stated proundly
He laughed and snuggled in to my neck.
I picked him up, and walked out to the hallway, all the way to Avacatos room.
I could feel little cato fighting sleep, i knew just what to do.
It's what my crap of a mom did to me when i was his age.
Drop me in bed with my father,
I walked into Avacato room, he was sprawled out on the bed, nothing except some sweatpants and bandages.
I heard little cato whimper,
"Gary..."
I shushed him and laid him next to Avacato, who wrapped his arms around his son moving him close to his chest.
Little cato slowley closed his eyes and snuggled up under his father's chin.
I squealed softley, there so cute!
