A.N. Hey all, here's another one shot about Taz and Up. In this one, Up is a friend/father figure (compare to Harry and Sirius in Harry Potter) to Taz. Mkay?
"Hey, where's Taz?" Up asked the classroom full of students, and all boys.
They all didn't know. He set it aside in his mind and taught the class, Calculus.
After they were dismissed, he realized what he was missing. It was her birthday. The anniversary of all of her family member's deaths. He felt horrible that he didn't remember and wasn't there for her. He had been with her for the last three years, why didn't he remember this time?
He wrote a note asking for a sub for his last class and walked briskly to her dorm room. When he got there, he hesitated. He finally just knocked lightly on the door.
"Go away!" Taz mumbled.
"No," Up said in return. She unlocked the door and peeked around. Taz saw Up's face and let him slide in before shutting the door and locking it. She took a deep breath to try and stop the tears before turning and looking into his eyes.
Seeing his wise, all knowing, sympathetic eyes made her break down again in his arms. He rocked her to sleep as she slept in his arms. Up stayed with her, knowing that she would have nightmares and wanting to be there when she woke up.
She started thrashing around and yelling in her sleep. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and held her. When she woke up with a gasp, he was there to comfort her through the pain.
A.N. Like it? Hate it? Review and tell me? Thanks!
