Bit by Bitty End

I woke up and smiled when I looked to my side and saw Quasar asleep on his pillow drooling. We must have dozed off. It wasn't often that I was relaxed enough to have a nap. It was even rarer that the sleep I got during that nap wasn't interrupted by a nightmare of some sort. I slowly got up and stretched. I tilted my head slightly to the side and wondered "should I let him continue to sleep?" I asked myself "if he continues to sleep he isn't going to be able to sleep tonight." I scowled to myself and decided to wake him up later. I got off the bed and stretched making a slight squeaking noise as I did so. I smiled and walked out of the sleeping quarters and down the stairs. I pulled out my computer and started to work on some of the paperwork I had fallen behind in. After a while, I heard a sound I couldn't decipher. I look up. It sounded like.....someone......crying..... upstairs?? That couldn't be right. I looked to the windows to see if that sound was coming from outside possibly from the Smith's house. It looked like all was peaceful and quiet. Well, as peaceful and quiet as it could be with a makeshift mini guillotine and the reading of the toys crimes against the country and state. I shuttered got up and closed the windows. I could still hear the crying though. It sounded like tiny footsteps were running around upstairs. Then it hit me like two tons of bricks.

"QUASAR! Sweetie!" I cried out scrambling to the stairs only to get a face full of bones and feathers. I pulled the trembling, sobbing Quasar off my face and cuddled him.

"Oh poor dear boy, what's wrong?" I cooed petting him trying to console him. I frowned slightly when he didn't answer and just clung to my shirt. I could feel his entire body trembling. Big golden tears fall from his eyes and embed themselves into the fabric of my shirt. I pat his back carefully and gently

"it's okay. Everything is okay. Everything is okay" I murmured to the bitty. After a while, Quasar's sobs quieted but his honey-colored tears were still flowing from his eye sockets. I pat him a little more for good measure.

"Quasar dear, do you want to tell me what has caused you to shed so many tears?" I asked softly petting him gently and he leaned back sitting in my cupped hands. He rubbed at his eyes sniffling.

"I-i h-had a nightmare that I was back in my old family, and the kids Becky and Preston were breaking my ribs one by one and had something stuck to me and were shocking me again. I tried to beg them to stop but I couldn't speak because they had gagged my mouth with a little bandana, and Mama Helen was just watching and not doing anything!! Then I woke up and I couldn't find you! I thought you had abandoned me too!" he choked out his balled fists rubbing at his eyes. I frowned and sighed silently cursing the Smith's. I pet the bitty gently and gave him a kiss.

"Quasar. My dear. It's okay. I promise that they won't ever touch you again. I won't let them. And I would never abandon you, love." I vowed and snuggled him.

"Never ever?" He asked sniffling, rubbing one of his eyes with is skeletal palm and I smiled softly.

"Never ever ever. Not as long as I shall live." I promised.

He gave me a close-eyed smile and touched my cheek gently and kissed my cheek.

"Thank you Nibi. I love you" He said and snuggled me. I glanced at the time on the clock on the wall. It was getting pretty late. I smiled and pulled back from him.

"It's about time for dinner dontcha think?" I mused and Quasar nodded

"Yeah! I am kind of hungry!" He said happily, I yawned and started pulling out some ingredients from the refrigerator before I thought to ask.

"Oh uh...How do you feel about fried rice?" I asked him to which he looked excited.

"Yeah! I really like fried rice! It was one of my favorite foods back when I was at the center!" He said smiling, practically bouncing on the balls of his feet. I smiled at his excitement and continued to pull out the ingredient. I soon finished the fried rice and put it on two plates. Quasar immediately and eagerly dug in, eating with this hands because all the chopsticks I had were far too big for him to practically use for eating. I smiled at him shoveling the rice into his mouth, while I ate mine with chopsticks. Quasar asked for seconds, thirds, and fourths which surprised me every time he asked. Where was it all going? He was all just bones!

"Kinda hungry?" I teased to which he blushed a golden hue

" I guess I underestimated how hungry I was." He chuckled. We were both soon finished our meals and we both yawned. I scooped Quasar and tickled him making him squeal with laughter and squirm around. I grinned and gave him a kiss on the skull.

"Come on now. It's about time for us to go to bed" I said and Quasar raised an eyebrow crossing his arms over his chest looking expectantly.

"Nibi, did you take your night medicine?" he asked and I looked at him surprised.

"How did you know that I take medicine?" I asked confused to which he smiled.

"You told me, remember? One of the days you were visiting me at the shop!" he said smiling sweetly and kissed my thumb.

"Oh yeah, I did," I said smiling and went over to the bread box and took out the little blue pillbox and took the right day.

"Okay! Now we can go to bed!" I announced picking up Quasar and heading upstairs and we both got ready for bed.

"Goodnight Nibi," he said softly as I turned out the lights and I smiled. Getting a bitty was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I looked over to Quasar to see that he was sound asleep. I made a promise that night. I would help Quasar get better just like Quasar would help me get better. Bit by bitty.
