Neko: My Kitten

6- Who am I? What am I? What color is...

"Felix, you need to get up"

"Hmmm... why?"

"I'm sorry, I thought about it. But I can't afford you staying with me right now, you're gonna have to go" he said pushing Felix out his lap.

Felix's heart dropped.

"W-what...why? I thought-"

"I thought wrong, I'm sorry. I need you to leave now please"

"P-please Chan... I'll be good, I'll get money to pay somehow... please don't put me back out there" he sobbed clenching onto Chan's shirt.

Chan was quick to shove him off.

"I told you no! Don't make me repeat myself, now get out or I'll make you!" He yelled.

"C-Chan... please!" He begged.

"Get out, now!" Chan screamed pointing to the door.

"C-Chan....." Felix cried. "I thought we were... the same....?"

"You're nothing but a messed up hybrid, you'll never be anything like me" he spat.

Felix closed his eyes to cover them, as Chan continued to yell at him. He only kept chanting to words as he cried into his hands.

"Chan... please...please"

"Felix!"

"Chan... please!"

"Felix!"

He felt himself shaking, that's when suddenly his hands were removed, only to see himself in Chan's lap as it appeared the older was shaking him awake.

"C-Chan...?" He sobbed looking at the older.

"Lix? Were you having a nightmare?" The older held Felix's hands in his as he turned the boy to face him.

"C-Chan... I'm sorry..." Felix cried burying his face into his chest.

"Shhhh, it's ok. I'm here. It was just a bad dream. It's ok, I'm here"

Felix continued to cry into Chan's chest as the nightmare played over and over in his head. It was so bad that it felt so real.

After a few minutes of Chan holding him and calming him down, he pulled him away to look into his eyes.

"Felix? You wanna tell me what your bad dream was about?" He questioned cautiously.

Felix wiped his tears away with his sleeve before responding.

"I-It was about you... you wanted me to leave... you didn't want me... because of my messed up eye..." he felt tears form in his eyes again.

"Oh Felix...." Chan felt his heart break again thinking the boy had such an awful dream. He pulled him back into his chest, rubbing his back soothingly.

"Felix, listen to me. I'm not gonna kick you out, I'm not gonna hurt you, and I'm never gonna leave you. Ok?" He whispered against his ears.

Felix nodded in Chan's chest.

"T-thank you... Channie..."

"Lix, do you have bad dreams like this often?"

Felix didn't respond, he just hid his face deeper into Chan's chest. Chan noticed, prying the boy away from him to look him in the face.

"Lix, tell me. How often do you get these?" He asked seriously.

Felix looked away before looking right back at him.

"A lot...."

"What do you mean by a lot?" He asked with worry.

"Every night...." he mumbled.
