My Little Viking

I love you too

        Once I felt Stevens grip on my hand loosen I knew he was asleep. I didn't let go, I held on to his hand like it was the last time I would ever hold his hand. I love him, I love his green eyes, his curly hair, his smile. I just want to hug him and tell him how much I love him. I can't, he needs his sleep so he can recover.

I should have Punched his father harder. How could anyone treat another human being like that. He deserved more than what I gave him, but the only thing I was thinking at the moment was 'is Steven alive'. I notice I was getting so angry I was squeezing his and too hard, his finger tips were starting to turn blue. I loosen my grip on his hand. luckily I didn't wake him up. Look up at his face, it's still black at blue. I feel like I'm gonna cry again, but I hold it in.

I need to use the bathroom, but I don't want to let his hand go. I really need to pee though. I let his hand go, and pick up his plate to take back to the kitchen. It looks like he took like five bites, I need to get him to eat more. I put his plate in the sink, then used the bathroom. I felt empty without Steven. I hurry in the bathroom, so I can get back to him. I step out of the bathroom only to be stopped by Minx.

"Whats his problem?" She asks grabbing my arm to keep me from leaving. "Why did she freak out when he saw me?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe cuz you beat him since third grade!" I say angrily. "Every time he sees you it ends in pain!"

Her eyes widen, "I- Oh" She starts before I yank my arm away from her and return to the bedroom. 

I close the door quietly, then fall to my knees. I feel so many emotions it over whelms me. I feel anger toward Minx and Stevens father, I'm sad because the man I love is in pain, I fear I will not be able to keep Steven safe. I curl into a ball and clench my fists. Then I just cry.

        I wake up to a loud thud. I try to sit up to see what caused the sound, but couldn't. After a second I hear, crying? Is Anthony crying?

 "Anthony?" I ask, staring up at the ceiling.

*Sniffle* "D-did I wake you?" He asks trying to calm down.

"Come here." I say patting the bed.

I can hear him get of the floor and clime into the bed. I turn my head to face him.  His eyes are puffy and he still has tears running down his face. I reach up and grab the side of his face, rubbing his cheek with my thumb. He looks at me then barrys his head in my chest, and continuing to cry. Neather of us talk, he crys into my chest as I play with his hair practically petting him like a dog. His hair was so solft.

"I-I lov-ve you, Steven." He trys to say though the tears.

"I love you too, Anthony." I say still petting his hair.

"I w-will never leave you, I promise." He says lifting his head from my chest and laying next to me on the bed.

"Thank you" I say fighting the urge to cry.

We both just stare at the ceiling for awile. Both lost in thought.
