He slept a while longer, deep and without worries or fears. He could sense the morning near them, but all he felt was the comfort of shadows cradling him into deeper rest. It coaxed another little sighing breath from his lips, another little wiggle to bury himself closer against her. This was home.
When the voices quieted, and the dreams faded away, he stirred with a small nuzzle at her shoulder. Lifting his head and yawning big, he peeked bleary eyes open to find her face, then grinned. ”Hi.” Ugh, his tummy was growling. He chose to ignore it for now. ”I stayed home! I did good, huh? I tried super hard and I did it! I stayed.”
He beamed brightly up at her, couldn't help but feel proud of himself. It was extra extra hard to not play with the night. He just didn't like to worry her, and getting lost wasn't always that fun. He was never afraid though, because she'd always find him. And the shadows didn't want to hurt him. They're nice. Much nicer than other little boys.
"Are we staying home today?"
