It had been a hard night, over worked and emotionally drained you slowly trudged through the dingy little apartment towards your room, slumping into the old mattress that creaked and groaned under your weight as you barely dragged the blankets and quilt over you.

It was cold in the bed but you know it would warm through, the familiar smell of your sheets made it felt a little warmer already as you cocooned yourself and reached for your phone, starting to set alarms you would curse yourself for later, pausing when you noticed a new message on your phone from an unknown number.

' You look lonely, will you allow me to change that? '

You brushed it off as a creepy co-worker but decided to allow yourself into the arms of them, at this point anything was better than the harsh grasp of loneliness that held you taught.

You felt a light tug to your heart as you opened the message, looking at the options the unknown texter had given. It was a simple yes or no. But you couldn't push away the giddiness you had as you texted back.

'Yes.'

It was still for a moment before you felt a thin hand gently touch your shoulder, looking over it you saw that it came from under the bed, the humanoid creature pulling itself out from the darkness, presenting a warm smile to you.

It stood, eyes covered with thick, shaggy hair as it climbed into bed, moving to phone out of your hands tenderly and pulled you into an embrace.

"...who are you?"

Your tone was quiet, drained and almost missable but the creature looked down, cocooning you even more in your blankets as he replied,his voice being gentle yet deep and having a slight rasp to it.

"I'm Mauro though, its been some years since we last saw eachother [name]"

You couldn't place a finger on where you knew him yet, he seemed all too familiar to dismiss. Mauro was just happy to be there, holding you protectively in his arms so that you had no choice but to rest your head on him. He smelt of summer fruits and old books and just seemed to melt away all the negative feelings you had.

"You should rest, ill be here when you wake up, [name] "

You didn't question him, just lazily nodding and huddling close to his warmth, slowly falling into a slumber in his arms where a pert of you knew would be safer than anywhere else in the world.

After all, Mauro was made to be your best friend.
