Memories that Haunt, Comfort is Near
After Theo had his moment, Casey told him he wanted a shower. He grabbed my clothes and walked into the shower. Theo was adjusting his sleeping arrangements while he went to wash himself. He cleaned every place all over until he felt clean. As he was there, he was thinking what had happened. Theo sad was something he didn't want to see again. Theo happy, made me feel glad, even more was when it was him that made that smile. Theo being so attached felt something warm. And staring at Theo was...unexplainable
He stepped out of the shower and dried himself. He only wore a pair of red boxers and walked to his room.
"Okay, shower's yours." He said as he dried his hair with his red towel. Theo turned around, but then turned back again.
"What?"
"Um, your topless."
"You don't have a problem with this do you? I like to sleep like this." Theo was hiding a very red face, it was impossible to miss.
"N-no, I sleep like that too. Excuse me." He grabbed his bag and ran past Casey into the next room. Casey smirked as he began to laugh. 'A mission success' he thought
–
Theo walked into the steam filled showers and let the heat take him away from reality. It was comforting and he needed the warmth, but not because he was cold. He grabbed a bottle and smelt the content. It was strawberries. Although it was not his kind of smell, he applied a small fill into his hand. After that was done, he washed himself with a bar that smelled of lavender. A mixture of aromas felt clashing but he didn't complain. He applied and rinsed before getting out of the shower. He grabbed a blue towel from his bag, dried, and wore a plain blue shirt with silk boxers. He walked into Casey's room and was found, face to face with him.
"Mm, my shampoo suits you." He had his eyes closed and his face planted near his head. Theo blushed a bit.
"So does that new lavender soap. You smell so nice." He began to hover over the shaky boy's figure, his grip holding down his arms to his side. Oddly, Theo felt aroused and began to break the grip, before his little friend set up the tent.
"Sorry for using your stuff," He sat down on his sleeping mattress, almost futon like and packed his wet and dirty gear into his bag.
"No worries, My stuff is your stuff." He flopped on his stomach over the bed, spying on Theo on the floor.
"Why don't you sleep with me?"
"W-what?"
"Yeah, sleep on my bed. It's big enough for the both of us, and your back will be in sorry condition if you don't." He grabbed his arm and lifted him up.
"You wouldn't be uncomfortable, will you?"
"No, I'll be fine. At least I'll have an extra pillow." Theo stuck out his tongue at him and gave a weird face as a response.
"Well, we got time to kill, what do you want to do 'til then?"
"Hmm,"
–
"So then, the girl saw what she had done. She was paranoid, and she ruined her whole life. Her love, her family, and she got sent back to the mental ward anyways."
"Wow, that was way creepy."
"Yeah, but for me, it didn't make any sense so don't worry I never understood it in the first place."
"Well I'm getting nightmares tonight."
Casey chuckled, "Don't worry it's not that terrifying until you have seen the monster. Well, get comfy, time for snooze." He clicked the lamp shut and fell asleep almost instantaneously. Theo faced his back to him and he fell asleep too, under the view of the night sky.
–
"Mommy," Theo, about 4, was calling out.
"Yes, sweetie pie," she picked her up and placed loving kisses on his small head.
"Theo, my boy."
"Daddy," He cried out to him. He carried him into the sky as he reached out to him, giggling gleefully.
Knock Knock
"Oh, honey." Theo fell and landed unharmed from the height he was lifted up from. Suddenly, the door busted open, lot of chatter was present, and Theo was crying.
"Mommy, Daddy."
Your mommy and daddy aren't here right now.
"W-where are they?"
Taken away
"Why?"
They are not welcome to leave. We have them.
"Let them go."
"Theo," He heard his brother call out. He crawled over to him.
"Theo, Theo" His parents call out to him. He walked over to them in the opposite direction.
"Theo," Lilly called, He felt himself get on his feet, and ran over to the call.
"Ah, Theo" Mommy. He grew up and began to ran faster to her.
Theo. Theo. Theo. The words called as he grew up, age by age. But as he did, he was alone. His name was called out so many times. By the time he reached his age, he had his hands over his ears, sweat beading down his forehead, wishing it would stop.
"Theo," Casey.
"Theo, please come back." He ran over to the single sound. He saw a silhouette, and ran for it. But the distance covered did not get him any closer. Drifted away.
"I don't want to be alone. I wanna be cared for. I wanna love,"
"Theo, I-" Casey his voice disappeared.
"Casey. Casey, Don't go."
"Theo," It faded, then vanished.
–
Awaken, with cold sweats, Theo awoke with nightmares. Bad ones. He began to sob the instant he got up. It was quiet so it did not disturb Casey. Casey. He looked over to his side to see the peaceful sleeping form by his side. He was glad he wasn't gone. He didn't leave him. He didn't feel alone no more. But why did it hurt when he was gone. He stopped his tears, but the hurt was still there.
He lied back down and faced to see Casey, his face is sweet and innocent. Theo cried again, so afraid of showing weakness. He slided further closer to Casey and placed his hands on him. He curled up and rested on him. He needed comfort. He needed to be loved. Did Casey love him? He clung onto him and tried to soothe himself.
Casey peeked out an eye to see Theo's trembling form, he was too tired to take in the situation and fell back to sleep. He placed an arm around him and hugged him tight. He placed a smile on his face and fell back into a soothing rhythm of snores. Theo stopped his cries and fell back to sleep.
He'd deal with himself later.
