When Scourge woke up, he was alone in the dark room, he sat up and winced a little at the pain in his stomach, he looked over to his phone and saw that it was 2 am in the morning he let out a soft groan of annoyance and tried going back to sleep, which to no anvil worked, so he laid there wide awake

"Scourge?" The small voice of the ghost in his room startled him a little as he turned to see the faintly glowing six year old 

"What's up?" Scourge mumbled as he looked at the ghost, the boy seemed to hesitate as he came a bit closer to the green hedgehog

"Are you okay?" he asked with a frown

"I'm fine, why do you ask?" Scourge asked 

"I was worried... You slept all day" Sonic frowned

"Oh, well you don't need to worry" Scourge mumbled with a yawn

"Can... Can I lay down with you?" Sonic asked quietly, the question made Scourge blink

"Sure, is something wrong?" Scourge frowned

"Just scared..." the glowing blue hedgehog answered quietly as they went and laid next to Scourge, as he did, goose bumps ran through Scourge's body, he shivered, but didn't move away from the child as he stayed where he was

but having the smaller one with him comforted him, he didn't realise that Sonic had fallen asleep beside him, even though he was a ghost, but he slowly fell back to sleep with the sensation coming off of the other, when he woke up later that day, it was nearly eleven in the morning, his Mother Scarlet was there and didn't seem to notice the ghost beside her son 

"How are you feeling?" She asked with a small smile

"Better... actually..." Scourge mumbled, it was true, he didn't understand why, but he felt better there was no pain and no sickly feeling, he glanced beside him, seeing the other still there sound asleep 

"Really?" His mother seemed surprised as she put her hand to his forehead and found nothing but the normal temperature, and frowned in confusion "You sure your not feeling sick anymore?"

"I'm sure" Scourge answered with a small smile

"I still don't want you to get out of bed, you need liquids and maybe some toast, but that's it, understand?" Scarlet sighed

"Yes Mum" Scourge stated

"Good" Scarlet smiled and kissed his forehead and left the room shortly after, to get her son something to eat, but while she did that, he looked back over at the sleeping ghost, he frowned a little, but his thoughts drifted to the ghost that sat by him in class, he'd never understood why whenever he saw him his heart fluttered and how warm he felt, despite the other being ice cold
