Midas' POV

I slowly lifted my eyelids, and noticed that I was in my room. How had I gotten here? And what happened after all of the agents had left? I glanced over to the window, but there was a large figure blocking my eyesight of the outside world. The room was pitch black, so I reached over to my bedside table, and grabbed the remote for the strands of LEDs holding polaroid pictures from the past couple of years. I pressed "on" and the room somewhat lit up.

I gazed back to the window, and noticed that Meowscles was the one who was there. He was sound asleep in the chair next to my bed. I slightly nudged him with one hand, while the other hand was resting on his shoulder.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at me with a very concerned, and relieved look. I wonder why he looked at me that way.

"Meowscles, what are you doing here?" I asked him, not realizing my hand was still on his shoulder.

"Oh, sorry, I was watching over you. Uh, I can leave," He said, standing up, and letting my hand fall back to my side.

"No, no, come back Meow,"

He slowly turned back, and sat on the edge of my bed, looking down at his lap.

I noticed a bandage on his arm.

"Meow, what happened to your arm?" I asked, gesturing to the cut.

"A gun."

I stood up, and slammed my fists together. "Who was it, I'll kill them for hurting my kitty, I-" he stopped me.

"M, it was you," I froze. Did he just say- that I shot him?!

He could see the look of confusion, and sorrow on my face, and chuckled. "It's okay M. It's better than what you tried to do to yourself." What had I done?

"What happened yesterday?"

"You don't remember?" I shook my head, and looked at Meow.

Meowscles sighed, and started to explain. "I heard a gun cock, and remembered you were still here. I thought that Shadow had you at gunpoint, but when I ended up busting the door down, I saw you down on your knees with a pistol to your head. I dove for the gun, but you fired. You ended up hitting my arm, but I was okay."

I could feel Meow's eyes on me, but I wasn't looking back at him. My eyes slowly started to create tears, and soon enough, they were falling.

Silently.

Meowscles wrapped his arms around my body, and I buried my head in his chest. I wanted to kill myself? Why?

I slowly raised my head back to my bedroom, and I asked Meowscles where the other agents were.

"They got back a couple of hours ago. I just told Skye that you were asleep, and that I planned on hitting the hay as well."

I nodded, and watched as Meowscles stood up. "I'll go. Night boss." he hung his head as he walked off, and shut the door to his room, the one right across from mine.
