Writing Prompt 148

Carefully, X lifted Y from where they had curled up on the floor.  Their eyes flickered open and they tried to squirm out of X’s grip. “Shh, it’s alright, little one. You’ve been good so I’m going to let you stay upstairs with me tonight.”  Y gave a little whine but rested their head back against X’s shoulder, too tired to fight them.

“What’s wrong with you?”  X asked, looking down at Y.  Y glanced up and shrugged slightly.  X caught their chin and forced them to look up.  They did not fight, and that was a first.  If Y was not fighting back, there had to be something seriously wrong.  “When was the last time you slept?”  They shrugged one shoulder again.
