(Okay, another sad one. Sorry...)

Billy whimpered in his sleep. He was having that nightmare... again.

Billy yelped. Why couldn't he duplicate this time, he did it before. Something crashed onto Billy's back and a sickening crack was heard. Billy looked up fearfully at the tall figure. "You can't defend yourself this time..." Someone drunkenly slurred.

Billy prepared himself for the final hit...

"For the sake of all that is holy, WAKE UP!" Billy shot up, gasping for air. It was Angel. In fact... mostly everyone other than Johnny, Red X, and Punk Rocket were in there (Punk and Johnny were in jail, and Red X was probably visiting Chelsea again). Billy slowly calmed down. "Its okay, Billy. It was just a dream." Angel said reassuringly.

Billy looked up at his friends. "What the hell are you guys even doing in here?" Blackfire raised her eyebrows. "Numerous, you were screaming. Loudly." She said. Billy blushed slightly. Kitten walked into the room, rubbing her eyes. "Was someone yelling or something?" Kitten asked sleepily. "Yeah... bad dream I guess." Billy said. "Okay, Billy." See-More shot a comforting glance at him, then left.

"Was I really screaming that loudly?" Billy felt slightly embarrassed. "Yeah... you okay, man?" Mammoth asked. Billy nodded. Mammoth excused himself after that, feeling a bit awkward. "Need anything?" Blackfire asked. "I'm fine." Billy said calmly.

Slowly, everyone walked out... except for Kitten. She walked over and said, "Billy. You are a big fat liar." Billy put on a mock hurt expression. "I'm not fat." He whined teasingly, hoping that she wouldn't see through him. Kitten rolled her eyes. "Billy. The last thing you are is okay."

Billy glared, but slowly nodded in agreement. "Man, can't get my heart to slow down." He grumbled, rubbing his forehead. Kitten touched his shoulder comfortingly. "Its okay. Whatever happened was just a dream, right?" She said. Billy laughed bitterly. "Yeah, no. More like a memory. Something I can't wipe away."

Kitten glanced to where her hand was laying and saw the scar. "Billy... that's how you guessed, right? That Fang hit me?" She gasped. Billy nodded. "I saw the same look in your eyes I saw in my ma's... and probably how mine looked for a very long time." Kitten nodded back. "I only got hit once though... and it didn't hurt too bad. I guess I just suffered emotionally." Kitten said.

Billy looked at Kitten, and he immediately understood. "Emotionally neglected?" He asked. Kitten nodded. "No matter what I did, I could not get my dad's attention at all. I got awful boyfriends, dressed like a whore, even dated one of his experiments. All he got me was things." She confessed. Billy then did something he hadn't done in a long time.

He hugged Kitten.

Kitten immediately froze up. She hadn't been expecting that. Billy usually just stayed away from physical contact. Kitten hugged him back, slowly.

Kitten wiggled slightly. This wasn't right... her bed didn't feel like this. And what was behind her back?

Kitten opened her eyes and realized what she had been laying on. Billy's arm and part of his chest. He was still asleep. Kitten turned an extremely bright red. "Oh crap... I'm not getting out of this one." She mumbled. "Shut up... its not even noon yet." Billy grumbled, slowly opening his brown eyes.

Kitten slightly grinned. "Uh... good morning?" She said. Billy's eyes widened, then he remembered last night. "You just fell asleep on me. Who was comforting who then?" He said, cocking his eyebrows funny. Kitten giggled and said, "Uh... it was a group thing?" She asked. "That can sound so wrong, you know."

Kitten hit Billy with his pillow. And he still laughed at her.

Kitten peered out of Billy's door. "If I am caught, I am so screwed." She grumbled. Billy laughed again. "Shut up, you!" She hissed, slipping out and managing to run into her room without being seen.

Kitten shut the door and slid down the wall. Then she slightly smiled. Billy was comfy to lie on... not saying that she liked him or anything.

Because she certainly did not.

At all.

Nope, not happening.

Damn his cute accent...

(And at the end, I still fit in a little humor. I am one strange person. And no, they did not have sex yet. You perverts! *hits with a pillow * Well, you should know the drill.

Bye bye and Review!)
