Jerome's POV

Pain.

Pain is all I feel.

It hurts so much, it's killing me.

I can hear faint voices around me, but I'm in too much pain to do anything.

"This sh- d- tri-." Seto's voice says.

I feel a hand on my chin, sending more pain through my body, then a cold liquid going down my throat.

A second later, the pain subsides and I pass out.

I wake up to Mitch's worried face.

"Mitch?" I croak.

"Hey biggums." he whispers.

"Where are we?" I grunt, sitting up.

"In a safe house. You killed king squid and saved us all."

"Cool." I whisper.

"Everyone else is asleep, speaking of I should probably go to sleep too." Mitch sighs.

"You can sleep here if you want, I don't mind." I whisper, holding out an arm.

He smiles and lays down next to me.

"Thanks Biggums." he whispers.

"No prob." I smile, wrapping my raised arm around him."

He falls asleep almost instantly.

I sigh and stare at the ceiling.

Mitch starts to squirm a little and he buries himself in my fur.

"Good night, biggums." I whisper before falling asleep again.

Mitch's POV (Before Jerome Wakes up)

Everyone's asleep but me.

I can't sleep no matter how hard I try.

Jerome is constantly on my mind.

'Do I like him in that way?'

I shake my head.

'There's no way! we've been friends since the beginning.'

I stare at his sleeping form, pain sketched all over his face.

I lean over his face, looking for any sign of being awake.

Jerome stirs and looks me in the eyes.

"Mitch?" He croaks.

"Hey biggums." I whisper.

"Where are we?" He grunts, sitting up.

"In a safe house. You killed king squid and saved us all."

"Cool." He whispers.

"Everyone else is asleep, speaking of I should probably go to sleep too." I sigh.

"You can sleep here if you want, I don't mind." He whispers, holding out an arm.

I smile and lay down next to him.

"Thanks Biggums." I whisper.

"No prob." He smiles, wrapping his raised arm around me.

I fall asleep almost instantly, knowing that my Bacca is safe.
