"Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes but it's the only thing that I know" Photograph- Ed Sheeran.
It was hard to love Pinky as his best friend. It was hard to be his best friend sometimes, but for Brain, he was the only friend that he had. His friendship with Snowball had ended years ago, and Pinky was all Brain had left. His parents probably thought he was dead, besides being taken from them. Pinky wasn't the smartest, sometimes but mostly annoyed Brain. But he still loved Pinky, again, Pinky was all The Brain had left.
Pinky curled his arms tightly around Brain as he rocked himself as well as Brain. A nightmare had happened once again, a nightmare where Brain got killed. It wasn't the first and Brain certainly knew that it wouldn't be the last. Sitting up on his knees and making sure he didn't touch Pinky's fully recovered leg as he did so and wrapped his arms around Pinky's neck. Pinky still cried, even when he felt Brain bump his head against his.
"Pinky." It came out as a whisper. "Pinky, look at me, please."
Pinky did and he watched Brain wipe his tears away. "Shh, it's okay Pinky, it's going to be okay, I'm right here, Brain's right here."
Pinky placed his head on top of Brain's. The rocking continued and the two boys cuddled and held onto each other. Brain smiled a little once he felt Pinky kiss the top of Brain's head. Nuzzling his head against Pinky's again, Brain hummed happily once he saw a smile on Pinky's face.
"I love you; Brain thank you." Pinky sniffled.
"I love you too, Pinky, and you're welcome."
Pinky wasn't the smartest, Brain knew that. But he had a good and kind heart and that was what Brain loved about Pinky. That was what he loved about his best friend.
