"Sprinkles...." I looked at the depressed looking Garroth. I was staying the night at their house for a couple days since Dante thought I could help Garroth with his problems. I didn't know it was gonna be because of a purple cat he lost.
"I feel so bad for him." I told Laurence who was standing beside me watching the sad scene in front of us.
"Yeah, but there's nothing we can do. I doubt you could do anything either." He sighed and went into the kitchen to get something to eat. I kept my eyes on Garroth.
"Hm...." I walked into the frontroom and sat beside Garroth. "So..." I tried to make small talk.
"I miss Sprinkles...." He muttered and looked at me with tearful eyes. I gave him a side hug.
"Dont cry! Im sure she found a good place to stay!" I tried to reassure him.
"B-But what if she isn't in a safe place! W-What if she's at the pound?!" He stood up quickly. "We need to go check! She's there! She's scared and alone!" He ran to the door. I ran after him.
"Wait! Garroth!" I followed him out the door as he started to run down the street. I grabbed his arm before he could get far.
"Let go! I need to see Sprinkles!" He whined.
"Hey! Calm down! Your gonna get a cold if you stay out here much longer!" He let out more tears.
"B-B-But S-Sprinkles...." I pulled him into my body.
"The pound is three miles away. We can't go on foot." He was freezing cold. "Lets head back and get you warmed up. Then we could use my car and head over there. Sound like a plan?" He looked up at me with a small smile and nodded.
"O-Ok..." He mumbled into my chest. I then let go of him and picked him up bridal style. "Ah!" He wrapped his arms around my neck and held on tightly.
"You been eating, ok? Your surprisingly very light." I asked. He blushed and gave a small shrug. "When was the last time you ate?" I started heading back to his shared house.
"U-Um....two n-nights ago? Maybe?" I looked at him with wide eyes.
"Garroth!!" I hollered. He flinched.
"S-Sorry! I-I k-keep forgetting to e-eat...." He stuttered. I let out a sigh.
"That's not good for you Gar." I stated. We finally got to the house.
"I-I know, b-but-!" I opened the door and cut him off.
"No buts! I'm gonna stay here and force feed you if I have to!" I growled and headed to the bathroom.
"Why were you guys outside?" Laurence was on the couch.
"Later." I slammed the door shut once we were inside.
"W-What are you d-doing?" He asked me as I sat him down on the toilet.
"Your cold." I started up the water for a nice hot bath.
"S-So...a bath?" I nodded and got up when the water was hot enough.
"I'll be right back. I'm gonna go get some towels and clothes." I spoke. "Get undressed and in the tub while I'm gone." I left and headed upstairs to Garroth's room. I got in his closet and got him a pair of underwear, light blue boxers, and a white tang-top with cute little pugs on them.
"Now can you tell us what happened?" Dante and Laurence was at the door entrance.
"He was scared that Sprinkles could be in the pound." I walked past them to the closet that held the towels and wash rags. I grabbed two of each.
"That cat really effected him." Laurence muttered.
"Yeah." I headed back down stairs, the boys followed. "Can you guys fix something to eat? Like a full meal?" I found my suitcase and opened it.
"This late? It's almost midnight!" Laurence exclaimed.
"It's only nine thirty." I pulled out a dark blue tang-top, underwear, and black boxers. "And Garroth hasn't eaten in awhile, or at least not much. I want him to eat a bit before we head to the pound." I got up and headed to the bathroom.
"The pound?" I nodded.
"I agreed to take him to the pound to make sure she wasn't in there." I stated.
"Ah. Ok, well I guess we can whip up something, right Laurence?" Laurence nodded.
"You know, I found this new recipe online that I want to try...." Laurence walked to the kitchen, mumbling about recipes.
"Whelp. Have fun!" Dante gave a sarcastic laugh and followed Laurence to the kitchen. I entered the bathroom and saw Garroth in the steaming hot tub. His eyes were closed and he looked peaceful. "Im back Gar." I said softly. He partially opened his eyes and looked at me.
"Hey..." He mumbled. I hung the towels on the door, put both of our clothes on the sink, and put the rags on the side of the tub.
"You doing ok?" I got on my knees beside the tub and messed with his hair.
"A little...still cold..." He leaned into my touch. I gave him a sad smile and got up.
"Well...you mind if I join you?" I asked. He stared for a second then gave a small smile.
"No...go ahead..." He gave out a yawn. I started to strip.
"Looks like someone's tired." He gave a tiny chuckle.
"A little...we still going?" He questioned. I got in the tub. It was quite roomy.
"To the pound tonight? Of course. I already told you I would take you there." I grabbed a bottle of shampoo. "Want me to wash your hair?" He slowly turned around and leaned towards me.
"Y-Yeah....I'm to t-tired *yawn* to do anything..." He said with a yawn.
"Alright." I opened the bottle of shampoo and poured some in my hand. I gently ran my hands through his wet hair.
"Mh....feels nice." He leaned into my touch. I continued to wash and rinse his hair then did my own. "So...warm..." He leaned completely against my chest and seemed to be slowly falling asleep.
"Lets go to bed." I gently got up and picked him up, sitting him on the toilet. I grabbed a towel and started to dry him off.
"W-We...still need....to go to...." He drifted off.
"We can go as soon as you wake up in the morning. I promise." I grabbed a towel for myself and wrapped it around my waist.
"O-Okay...." He yawned and his eyes were almost fully closed. I grabbed his clothes and put them on him. I grabbed my clothes next and started putting them on.
"Hey Shiro, Garroth! You done yet? I need to use the bathroom!" Dante hollored from the other side of the door. I picked Garroth up and opened the door.
"Sorry, its all your now. We're heading to bed." I said.
"Is he alright?" Laurence asked. I looked down at him.
"Just tired. He should be fine after he gets a good nights sleep." I started up the stairs.
"Uh...what about the food? I made hamburgers and hotdogs." Laurence showed his plate of food.
"I will come down and get us something in a bit. I'm gonna let him rest up first." He nodded and continued to eat. I got to Garroth's room and placed him on his bed. I pulled the blanket over him and gave him a small kiss on his forehead.
"Good night my beautiful angel."
