~~~Enderlox's P.O.V.~~~

I sit, rocking Sky back and forth in my lap. I was holding him as close as possible without hurting him. I had my wings wrapped around us and my tail around Sky's waist, showing his that he was safe with me.

I look down at Sky, who has finally calmed down and is sleeping soundly. I gently set him down on my bed, wrapping the covers around him, since he still only had his swim shorts on.

I walk back to the door way and pick up the cloths I had dropped when I seen the enderman. They were for Sky, they were exact replicas of his old cloths, except not torn and dirty.

I walk over to my large dresser, setting the cloths down and walking back to the intercom button. I press it and it buzzes to life, "yes, Enderlox? What do you need?" I can't help but to roll my eyes at her voice, "send some people here to my room, I want the bathroom cleaned up and cloths washed," I instruct.

She hesitates over the intercom for a second then speaks again, "uh, what you like cleaned up, Enderlox? We need to know what to bring down."

I sigh, not wishing to yell and wake up Sky, who was still sleeping in my bed, "water needs to be cleaned up and there is cloths that need to be washed."

"No problem Enderlox, we will have servants come down and clean it up right away," she says, turning off the speaker.

I roll my eyes again and walk over to my bed, sitting down behind Sky. I use my arm to prop myself up, and my other to rub circles into Sky's back.

Sky stirs before slowly opening his eyes, blinking a few time, then rolling over to face me. "Hello, sleepyhead~" I say and try to smile warmly.

Sky's face turns red then he looks down, rubbing his head into the pillow. "Hello," he says back.

I smile without thinking, "hey! You said it without stuttering!" I'm way more excited than I should be, but I can't help it.

Sky blushes again, "ya, I d-did didn't I?" He says and smiles.

I poke his forehead, making sure not to scratch him with my claws, "and the stuttering's back," I joke.

A knock on my door makes my head snap up, until I hear one of my servants calling my name. "Enderlox?" His voice sounds muffled through the door, "we're here to clean the bathroom."

"Come in," I snarl. I look down as I feel a tugging on my shirt, Sky's gripping onto it, fear in his eyes.

I prop myself on my elbow, resting my head in my hand. I put my other hand behind Sky's head, forcing his head closer to mine and pressing his forehead against my own. "Sky," I whisper as three of my servants walk through the door, looking at us with weird glances then going into the bathroom, "I won't let anything hurt you. Remember that, because it's true."

I pull my head back, pressing my lips against Sky's forehead. I watch as his face turns red and I can't help letting a smile spread onto my face.

I sit up and go to get up, but feel Sky grip my wrist. I look at him, raising an eyebrow as he pulls his hand back, "s-stay with me, p-please?" He asks, hope twinkling in his eyes.

I sigh, laying back down next to Sky, who smiles, pleased with himself and closes his eyes. I pull up the covers and rest myself beneath them, folding my wings. I use my tail to wrap around Sky's legs and my arms to go around his waist, pulling him closer to myself.

Sky looks up at me curiously, and I smirk. "What?" I ask, "you want me to stay, I get to cuddle you. It's how things are gonna work, okay?"

Sky blushes and nods, putting his hands on my chest and burying his head into them.

~~~Sky's P.O.V.~~~

I'm so close...

So close to HIM...

He makes me feel safe, and I don't ever want him to leave me. That's why I wanted him to stay, it seems like when ever he leaves, something bad happens, so I just want to stay curled into him.

Never to worry about the world again.

I feel Enderlox kiss my forehead and I hold back a wince as a stinging pain wells up. It's not that bad, but enough to make me uncomfortable.

"Ow," Enderlox mumbles.

I look up to see Enderlox rubbing his bottom lip, as if kissing me had hurt him as well. "You felt th-that t-too?" I ask, watching him carefully.

He looks down at me, raising an eyebrow, "what do you mean?"

I sigh burying my head into his chest, "Wh-when you... K-kissed me, it kind of... Stung? I think th-that's the word."

At first, Enderlox looks angry, like I had offended him, but then understands. "Ya, I guess you could say that, want to go to the doctors? We could see what's wrong," he explains.

I look at him frightened, and I know he can see it on my face. Whenever the doctor came at the squid kingdom, they would hurt me... ALOT. I am absolutely terrified of doctors, whether their nice or not.

"I know what you're thinking, Sky," Enderlox says, "and you'll be fine. I won't leave your side, no matter what."

I force a smile, but I can't help starting to shake from pure fear. Whenever I hear the word 'doctors', or anything related to them, loads of bad memories flood back.

Painful memories.

Ones, that I should never know, that ANYONE should ever know in their life.

"Come on," Enderlox says, standing up and reaching his hand out to me, "we don't have to go right now. How 'bout I teach you how to walk again?"

I feel all my worries practically melt away and my eyes light up. "Really?!" I exclaim.

Enderlox nods and reaches his hands out once more. I swing my feet off the bed and take his hands, pulling myself up.

Enderlox waits for me to take a step, and when I do, I fall right into his arms. "Come on, Sky," Enderlox says, slurring my name slightly, "you can do better than that!"

I try to stand up, but my legs are too weak. "E-Enderlox, I c-can't!"

"What'd do you mean?" Enderlox asks, honestly he sounds tired, and I'm slightly worried.

I sway on my feet, "Mmh, I d-don't feel good..." I say. Enderlox slowly sets me down, keeping his arm around me. I hang my head, my head swimming and body aching.

"Heh," Enderlox says, "I don't feel so hot either, let's go to the doctor okay? I promise I won't leave you alone."

Enderlox leans in, kissing my forehead gently, but making it sting painfully at the same time. We both wince, but ignore it.

Enderlox stands up, letting go of me and I instantly feel better. I look up at him, and he looks at me the exact same time. I know he felt the same thing I did.

"Okay!" Enderlox says, trying to avoid the silence falling over us, "let's go."

~~~Time skip to where they get to the doctors office in the castle~~~

The walk was horrible, but Enderlox refused to let anyone else walk me over. He knew I was terrified, and even being weak he cared for me. The last quarter of the walk my legs gave out, so Enderlox had to carry my like a toddler, with my legs around his waist and arms around his neck. I knew he didn't feel good, but he was a lot stronger than I was and could take it better.

~~~Enderlox's P.O.V.~~~

I hear Sky groan quietly on my shoulder, so I rub gentle circles into his bare back, for he still has his swim trunks on from earlier today. I feel horrible, but I know Sky feels worse. Just by his eyes you could tell, it's funny, it's almost like they change color with how he feels. Like, when he's happy or excited they look more yellow, when he's scared or frightened they go almost a dirty gold, and when he feels guilty, upset or sick they look nearly grey.

"Enderlox?!" One of my servants says, running from where she was standing, "what happened?! Neither of you guys look like you're feeling to good."

I didn't mind her asking questions, she was the only one that was willing to take SOME care of me when my parents turned me down, then started beating me and trying to make me feel bad. After they died I took over the castle.

I hear Sky groan again, this time slightly arching his back away from me. He buries his head into my neck as much as possible, then sighs, sending shivers down my spine.

I suddenly feel weak and collapse, Sky landing flat on his stomach beside me. As soon as I stop touching him, I feel fine. I stand up, most likely looking better, because my servant started to panic, "he's the one that's making you feel bad, isn't he?!"

Before I can yell at her she runs around the corner, and I can hear her screaming all the way, "WITCH! HE'S A WITCH!"

I growl and turn back to Sky, who looks scared, better than before, but horrified. I watch as his eyes change from grey to a dark gold. "Sky, it's okay," I whisper, walking over to him and kneeling down, "I WILL protect you, they lay one finger on you and they get it cut off."
Sorry for it being late, I was gonna make it longer but that's for next time! ^^
