I was scared. That enough was evident in my eyes as I climbed through the window of Eon’s room, I had gotten used to squeezing my way in due to the many times I had visited in the night. For some reason, I felt comfortable around the older boy; a feeling I couldn’t comprehend nor experience the same comfort with the other orphans.

My nightmares always jolted me awake in the wee hours, and the darkness that shrouded around me had struck fear into my heart. Quietly, I closed the window, due to the many times I had snuck into his room; I had gotten rather skilled at going around unnoticed. I looked over to Eon; he was awake. Figures, I had once concluded that he’d wake up whenever I made my way in.

“Nightmares again...?” He asked softly, I relished in the tender tone that he used. I nodded. Yawning, he shifted, creating a generously large space for me to sleep on. Eon held the blanket high enough so I could scoot in without tangling in the large blanket. He does not say anything; he just wraps his arms around my waist and cooed me to sleep.

When I am with him, I feel safe and a sense of security. And without failure, I drifted off to a comfortable slumber.
