Eros led him to a spare bedroom. "Alright. This will be your room from now on," he said, trying out a smile.

The boy nodded sleepily.

Eros pulled a pair of pajamas out of the bag he was carrying and handed them to him. "Here. Uh... get ready for bed."

[Deleted]

The boy looked at the pajamas. "What's a bed?"

Eros stared at him, and then pointed silently at the bed in the corner. "You sleep in it," he said.

[Deleted]

He looked at the bed. "...Why?" He looked back at Eros. "Don't we sleep on the floor?" He looked back at the bed. "Ms. Trindle always said it was a seat."

Eros sighed and ruffled the boy's hair. "Ms. Trindle lied to you," he said. He walked over to the bed and patted the comforter. "See? Lie down."

The boy shuffled over, looking unsure.

To set an example, Eros pulled back the comforter and slipped underneath the sheets. "See?" he said. "This is how you do it."

The boy blinked before slowly climbing on the bed and sitting on it.

"You put your head here," Eros said, touching the pillow. If there was ever anyone who had a seriously screwed up childhood, it was this kid.

[Deleted]

The kid blinked before hesitantly putting his head on the pillow.

"Isn't that comfy?" Eros asked. God, he was so bad with kids.

[Deleted]

"When do I get up?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"I'll come and wake you up, okay?" Eros told him. He started to get out of the bed.

[Deleted]

The boy whimpered and sat up. "Why are you leaving me?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"I have to go back to my own room..."

[Deleted]

He looked at him before slowly nodding and rolling onto his side.

Eros stared at the boy for a second. Then he sighed and got up, walking toward the door. This was going to the longest... rest of his life, pretty much.

[ WELL IF THAT'S HOW YOU SEE IT ]

The boy laid on the bed feeling more alone than ever because, like, seriously -- the kid just got taken from the orphanage, the only 'home' that he ever truly knew, and now he was placed in a new room, in a new place that looked absolutely f*cking terrifying on the outside since it was old and abandoned, and then was expected to sleep on his own. He closed his eyes to sleep, tears streaming down his face though he had learned to be a silent crier so as to not let anyone know how he felt.
