A/N: I'm a huge JTHM fan so I'll try this out. And yes, This is another Johnny takes Squee in story, like many stories on here. So I'll try and make mine unique. But if I can't, eh, What the heck. I'll try and not make this OOC.

Todd shifted uneasily on the floor as the creatures crawled towards him. His eyes grew wider, as he reached over to grab Shmee. He cradled the bear in his arms as the monsters were inches away from his short legs. The vile creatures were barely visible through Todd's water eyes. Their skin was a dark lavender, bringing out the redness of their eyes. Their teeth as sharp as daggers. A claw grasped onto his foot, Todd pulled as hard as he could. Trying to free his foot from the grip.
"No! Let go of me! Stop it!" Todd pleaded.
The creature didn't give a thought to his pleads. By this time, Todd was covered in slime up to his neck.
"DADDY! HELP ME! MOMMY! SOMEONE! PLEASE!"
Todd began violently shaking, when he finally opened his eyes. He was in the grasp of his fathers large hands, still being shaken by him. His small body covered in a thin layer of cold sweat.
"Daddy! The boy said cheerfully.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Daddy, I had a bad dre-"
"Daddy this, Daddy that. When will you ever listen? Don't call me Daddy...dad, father, even 'Man who helped create me'! I-DON'T-WANT-TO-
KNOW-YOU! Can't you see you ruined my life?"
Todd had been through millions of speeches like this. But tonight it hurt him the most.
"But daddy," He inquired.
"What did I say!" Todd's father lifted his hand to strike him, but lowered it down, "You're not worth it you little ungrateful shit. I have to work my ass off for you! To give you shitty food, to pay off this shitty house! And to live this shitty life!"
Tears were streaming freely down his face, as Squee brought his knees under his chin. Two large hands grabbed his arms roughly, lifting him off of the bed and dropping him to the floor.
"Get out of my sight." His father snarled.
"But dadd-"
"NOW."
Squee had no choice, he stumbled back onto his bed to grab his only friend, Shmee. He trudged down the stairs, A hand on the railing, the other grasping tightly to the bear.
He opened the front door slowly, as he glanced back at his father staring at him from upstairs. He opened his mouth to speak but his father only pointed outside. He closed the door and walked down the pathway.
Where was he going to go at this time of the night? He was only a child! He sat on the curb, his bear in his lap. Hugging Shmee tightly.
An unfamiliar voice greeted them.
"Hello little boy."
Squee lifted up his head to see the stranger who was talking to him.
"You look sad, why are you sad?"
"I'm not-- suppose-- to talk to--strangers." Todd said through sniffles.
"But I'm not a stranger! I know your mommy, She said that you were sad and that she wanted me to take care of you. Come on, we'll go to my house to play some games! How 'bout that?"
Squee strained his eyes to see the mans face. The darkness of the night sky wasn't helping one bit. The man was plump, his clothes raggedy, much like his beard. His eyes hidden behind thick-rimmed glasses. His hair was thick and greasy, tangled everywhere.
"My Mommy's inside, Mister. I'll go tell her you're here though"
Squee stood up off of the curb and began walking towards the front door. When the man grabbed his shoulders and turned him around.
"No, lets go"
The man herded him to a different direction, Squee struggled against him.
"But Mister, I don't think I'm suppose to leave."
"Shut up kid and keep walking"
The man flashed a smile at a couple walking on the opposite sidewalk.
The once mild-mannered man was now vicious.
"But I don't want to go"
Their pace began to quicken.
"Well I don't really care what you want."
"I don't want to go! Daddy-"
"I'm your daddy now. You'll do as I say and like it"
A snarl came to his lips.
"HELP ME! He's trying to take me away"
The man struck Todd's cheek with the back of his hand.
"Shut up kid!"
"Help! Help"
The man covered Squee's mouth with his hand. Todd bit roughly on the skin he could get.
"OW! You little-" He raised his hand to strike him again. But before he could do anything a brick hit the side of his face. The man toppled over and landed roughly on the concrete. Johnny stood where the man once was, the brick still in his hand. He squatted down to eye level with the terrified boy.
"You ok Squee"
Todd nodded weakly, his mouth still open from the shock he had just received a few moments ago.
"I think I found a friend of yours"
Johnny took whatever he was hiding behind his back and extended his hands towards Squee.
"Shmee!" He flung his tiny arms around the bear and looked up at NNY, His eyes full of thank-yous. A grin grew on Johnny's face, the once creepy smile now seemed comforting. Squee sat back on the curb as Johnny followed him.
"What are you doing out this late at night? You should be at home! There are too many crooked people in this world, and they all come out at night! They're the ones that want to dig your eyeballs out with their thumbs. Or hang your decapitated head on their mantle piece. Or tear open that little chest of yours to explore your insides"
Squee's eyes began to widen.
"People kind of like this guy." Nny pointed to the man in front of him.
"Ooohhh.." The man groaned, half of his face covered in blood. Johnny shoved the bottom of his shoe into the man's face, without even moving off of the curb.
Squee couldn't help but flinch at the sight.
"My...my...My daddy doesn't love me." Tears began welling up in his eyes again. Nny scooted closer to the tiny child.
"Do you want me to do something about that?" Nny fumbled with something in his pocket. Seconds later he pulled out something hand-sized.
He pressed a small button and a blade appeared. His father might not love him, but that didn't stop Squee from loving his father.
Squee shook his head, as Nny just shrugged. They sat in silence, Nny huffed hot air out of his mouth, seeing it appear in front of him. He placed his hands behind him on the sidewalk and leaned back. Squee began to shake from the cold.
"Come on Squee, I've always been welcomed in your house. So, you're always welcomed in mine"
Johnny stood up, hovering over Squee, he extend his hand down to him. Squee thought thoroughly about the idea. He had laid awake for many nights, because of the noises coming from the house next door. He shivered again, before he quickly came to his senses. A house was a house, and Johnny's was probably nice and warm. He extended his arm as far as he could. Johnny wrapped his hand around Squee's, his large hand enveloping his tiny one.
