The candles lit up easily, causing shadows to dance across the walls and casted shapes that never stayed the same. The flamed shored a calming yellow, and I moved away slowly. I went back to the mat that lay in the middle of the room and sat down. I closed my only to opened them a minute later, My eyes took in the sight of my new room, the one that my dear Master once sat in, and lived in. It had only been three weeks since his passing, and yet it felt like he was still here, next to me in this room. My Master's room was now mine, but even as told myself again and again; It still didn't click. My eyes landed on a old, dusty book that sat on a little table that my Master used to lay his tea on and felt my lip turned into a tidy smile. That book was the very one he had used to named my brothers and I when we merely babies. My eyes moved away from the table and next to the futon that was one my few things that was moved from my room. I closed my eyes, and took deep breath, so thing have and still are changing.

My eyes snap opened when I heard the door opened, and saw a pair blue eyes blinked at me. "Mikey?" I muttered," What are you doing up?" He fully opened the door, and I spied the panda that he had almost all his life, wrap tightly in his arm. "I...Had a nightmare...Again. I went to your old room but, I didn't..." Mikey bit his lips, I frowned. It must have been a bad one, "Well, come on in." He flashed me a thankful smile, and after closing the door, he sat next to me. "It seem like he still here don't it?" his blue eyes caught mine browned ones and I nodded.

Mikey moved down to his side and he lay his head on my right leg, and I blinked down at him, "You know the futon right over there." I stated calmly. He gave shake of his head, "I know but I want be next ya for a bit." The nightmare must have me dying or getting hurt. Mikey always went to the one who got hurt in his dream, just make sure they were still alive and well. I nodded, and waited until his breathing became slow and even. I then gave into doing what I really wanted to do, I let my hand stoke his warm cheek, and caressed his brow. I keep caressing him for who how long, but I was carefully to keep the touch brotherly, even if my thoughts behind them wasn't. I could feel the sharp, hot eyes of my Master's. I kept my head low in the fear I really would see his eyes, and I looked at my legs to Mikey. If Mikey knew...I sighed softly, and even with the eyes of Father watching me, I bow my head gave his forehead a kiss. I nuzzled my beck where I kissed him, before moving away.

Even though my Father had passed, I 'll never giving into the need to pull Mikey close to me, and make sure he never have another nightmare again, I still had my duty as a leader and older brother, letting my brothers get this close to me, could put us all at risk for many things. It was better this way, or at least that what I kept telling myself.
