Back to his room,

He was about to enter back in his room, but he got bumped into someone.

Ah! Why I am bumping into people so much today?

He looked at the person who was starring right at him with a smirk on his face which he wasn't liking much.

"Hello~ Human"

"Hi" Raul awkwardly answered,

"Step aside, you idiot" Velver hissed at him

"No need to yell, Velver" Woolsey smiled as he patted on Raul's shoulder

"You should be nice to humans" He added with that same creepy smile on his face.

Raul just nods, he didn't know how should he react. While Velver was still glaring at him.

"Now, I better leave. You know those tacky rules" Woolsey winked at Raul and left.

After seeing him leaving, Raul just walks in the room placing his jacket back. He was about to get on the bed when Velver suddenly pushes him.

Raul didn't budge a bit and just look at him.

Velver gritted his teeth as he annoyingly stated "Listen, You lowly-human. If you want to live one more peaceful day of your life, THAN. STAY.AWAY.FROM. US"

Without waiting for his response, Velver went to his bed and laid down.

Raul just silently looks at his back taking a deep breath, he murmured something to himself and went to his bed.

....

"Monster"

"You should be dead"

"It all happened because of you"

"Because of you, I lost my mother"

"You have no right to live"

"Just die"

.

.

"Hey!"

Raul came back to his senses, as he looks at Velver who was starring at him. His vision was still blurry.

"Are you alright?" Shorty asked, he just looked at him blankly for a while as if he was lost somewhere.

"Was it a nightmare?" Shorty asked again

Raul just stood up and rushed towards the bathroom.

"Wow! that bastard" Velver gritted his teeth, he was going to the washroom when he saw him trembling weirdly. He calls out him but he didn't respond, only then he went to call shorty.

"He must be having nightmares"

Velver looked at shorty in confusion, "I used to have them too, when I was young" Shorty smiled cheekily.

Velver frowned how can someone smile like that so early in the morning,

"By the way, thanks"

"For what?" Velver countered lazily

"For calling me, You act cold but at least you cared enough to call me. So thank you"

"Don't overthink" Velver just said that and left.

Raul gets under the extremely cold shower but still, it didn't help him to get rid of those voices in his head.

He wiped the fog from the mirror and looked at his reflection for a while and after taking a deep breath he walked out.

..

The moment he stepped out, he saw shorty who was still sitting on the bed waiting for him.

He smiled at him as he asked "Are you okay now?"

Raul just nods as he walked towards his wardboard and starts putting on his clothes.

"That's good, nightmares are terrible. You are pretty strong, when I used to have nightmares I didn't even use to come out from my room for days" Shorty said as he laughed embarrassingly.

Raul paused for a moment as he slowly turned towards him and hesitantly asked "Do you also?"

At first, shorty didn't get it what he was trying to say but he took a guess "Yes-Yes, Everyone has them at least for once in their life"

"Everyone?"

Seeing Raul's face, he actually couldn't understand his expressions but he still said "Of course, We all have something we are scared of"
