Annime: Hi!

Chiro: Are you always happy?

Annime: I guess…?

Otto: Annime doesn't own SRMTHFG or anything belonging to someone else!

Age 12 to 13

Chiro lay is his bed. They had just left to go stop the Dark One Worm. They had also just gotten Antauri back…

Sprx had called Chiro out earlier saying that Chiro never showed he was sad that Antauri went 'missing.'

This had made Chiro snap!

"You know what Sprx," Chiro yelled at him. "I kinda didn't get the freaking chance to! I didn't even understand he was even 'gone' until we were tied up and already in a bad situation! So, you know what, you need to shut it and learn not to freaking get into someone else's business!"

Everyone had gone silent and watched as Chiro marched away from the meeting without another word. The last one he saw was Antauri who said goodnight to him.

"You know I was sad, don't you Antauri," Chiro had asked him.

Antauri smiled, "Of course, Chiro. You don't have to prove anything to me."

Chiro now lay there and looked at the clock…it was 10pm.

Chiro hadn't had a chance to let all of what happened soak in…until now.

Chiro began to cry. He cried and cried and cried and cried. He didn't know how long, he didn't care how long. He just laid there and cried.

Antauri was always a father figure to him. He already considered him a dad.

The fear of losing him again or anyone else on the team scared him. He knew that at any moment something bad could happen. This fueled the tears.

He was now mourning the loss of Antauri…when he was in the other room.

No one knew how much it hurt him to even ALMOST lose Antauri. He just couldn't stop crying. He tried to calm himself down throughout the night, but wasn't successful until 3:16am.

Chiro laughed as tears ran down his face. He had cried 5 hours straight.

He decided to get out of bed and get something to drink. He didn't know if crying for five hours was going to dehydrate him or not, but he didn't want to take any chances.

He walked into the kitchen and flipped the switch. Then he walked over to the fridge and grabbed himself a water bottle.

After sitting down at the table he heard someone walking down the hallway towards him. His head tilted in curiosity. No one was up at this time at night…besides him.

Chiro kept his eyes on the door way until a silver simian walked through and into the kitchen.

Antauri looked straight at Chiro.

"Chiro, is everything alright?" Antauri asked him. He walked up to Chiro and once he was closer he saw his eyes and face were red. "Chiro have you been crying?"

Chiro nodded. "Yea but I'm ok."

"Chiro, you shouldn't take what Sprx said seriously."

"It was that, Antauri."

Antauri sat down across from him at the table.

"Do you want to talk about it, Chiro?"

"Antauri, it was just that everything that happened finally sank in."

Antauri nodded. "It is true that you never got to let out all that has happened. So how much sleep did you get?"

Chiro chuckled. "I started crying at around 10:12pm and finally stopped at 3:16am."

Antauri's eyes went wide with worry. "You didn't get any sleep?"

Chiro shook his head, tears beginning to fall again. "I'm so scared, Antauri," he sobbed as he covered his face with his hands. "I can't stand the thought of losing you guys."

Chiro started to shake with his sobs and Antauri walked over and hugged him.

"It's going to be ok, Chiro," Antauri whispered into his ear.

Chiro shook his head. "No, it's not, because I'm being a cry baby when everyone has the same fear; they're sucking it up."

Antauri hugged him with one arm and combed his fingers through the boy's hair with the other hand. He had learned from sometime before that this comforted the boy.

"And Antauri," Chiro added. "Don't EVER scare me like that again! I don't know what I would do if something bad happened to you again."

Antauri smiled a small smile as he still stayed silent. He stayed this way until Chiro was finally feeling better.

"Do you want to sleep in tomorrow?" Antauri suggested.

Chiro laughed and nodded.

Antauri assisted Chiro to bed and stayed there with him for the rest of the night.

When he saw Sprx in the morning he was going to give the red simian a talk.

And if he ever said Chiro wasn't scared of losing Antauri or anyone on the team again…he would probably scratch his face off.

Annime: What a touching ending…right?

Chiro: Sure…why not?

Sprx: 0.0

Antauri: XD Please review!
