"What is that?..." You mumbled to yourself, drying your hands on the kitchen towel.
You had been in the middle of chopping vegetables for you and Eddie, when a squeeky noise from the living room caught you off guard.
"Eds? Are you okay sweetheart?"
This morning, Eddie had promised to treat you. He was going to cook your favourite pasta dish for dinner. Cooking was one of his hidden talents, and he adored creating wholesome and hearty meals for you.
But, no sooner as the day began, your partner began to slip. Throughout the months of your relationship, you had learned Eddie's behaviours like the back of your hand. You knew the signs. Silent leg bounces and lip bites were enough of an indicator; before long he would tripping over the carpet, staring doe eyed, unable to navigate through his thoughts or his surroundings, ready to surrender to little space.
Today was no exception, as fifteen minutes ago you set Eddie down on his beanbag with a colouring book, kissing the top of his head softly before venturing into the kitchen to cook the pasta instead. You didn't mind. Your little guy needed a break. After everything he'd been through, you understood he needed time to relax, escape, and lose reality for a little while.
Peeking around the kitchen door, you realised that Eddie had left his beanbag, and crawled towards a fluffy toy that lay in the centre of the floor.
"What you got there?" You asked, intrigued by what the brunette was up too.
"Funnwy noise! Wook!" Eddie responded with glee, gesturing for you to look at his discovery.
Gently plucking the toy out of his fingers, you realised that this belonged to your dog. For Halloween this year, you had purchased a squeaky bat toy for your puppy, and now it seemed little Eddie had taken a liking to it.
"Eds, this belongs to the doggy. I'm sorry bubba, it isn't yours."
You tried to keep your tone quiet and caring, but you could see your partners lip starting to quiver.
"Hey, hey, it's okay little one. Remember, you have soooo many other toys to play with, don't you?" You picked up Eddie's dragon plushie, waving it with a smile.
But Eddie didn't smile back. Tears began to well in his eyes, as he gazed sadly at the dog toy.
"But... I wan the bat..."
"I know sweetie, but I'm so sorry I can't let you have it. It's been in the dogs mouth, and she's probably stepped all over it too." You explained softly, hoping to appease him.
"But.. but.."
Cries escaped his mouth before he could finish his sentence, hiccuping as he tried to supress his small sobs of defeat.
"Oh honey, it's okay, come here" You cooed, opening your arms to hug the little guy.
"NO!" Eddie screamed, turning his back on you, tears streaming down his delicate features.
Your heart shattered. You loved him more than anything in the world, and you wished you could give him everything he ever wanted. But he couldn't have that bat toy. You needed to make this right.
In a brainwave, you quickly opened your phone, typed in some keywords, and punched in your credit card details, before turning your attention back towards Eddie, who was now laying on the floor in adorable protest.

The following day wasn't much better. Your little curly haired menace tossed and turned all night, and was now sat sulking in front of the television, his legs tucked into his chest.
You motioned to the bowl of chicken nuggets on the table. "Come on sweetheart, aren't you going to eat your yummy nuggets?"
Shaking his head, Eddie frowned, his eyes fixed on the TV screen.
"Bubba, plea-
Ding Dong
The sound of the doorbell diverted your focus, and you padded over to the door. You breathed a sigh of relief when you saw the parcel delivery man. You'd been anticipating this package since the moment you ordered it the previous evening.
"Eddieeeeeee" You sang, headed back over to the sofa. "Look what's hereeeee"
Perching next to him, you allowed Eddie to take the small brown box from your hands.
"F-for me?"
"Yes! You can go ahead and open it."
Keeping your fingers crossed, you watched in optimism as your little brunette teared into the paper, to reveal a brand new bat plushie.
Eddie's face lit up, a smile wider than any you'd ever seen from him before. Your heart fluttered, as he threw his arms around you with a childlike force.
"Oh my Gawd! A new bat! Fank you fank you!!" He exclaimed, hugging the bat close to his chest.
You exhaled, cupping your partners chin, placing a gentle kiss on his cheek. "Anything for you, my little bubba."
With a grin, Eddie lay his head on your lap, catching up on the cuddles he had missed over the past 24 hours.
