"I need a hug," she whispered.
"We are monsters," came the gravelly reply from under her bed.
"Yes, but you're my monsters. Everybody needs monsters on their side."
"You shouldn't have to."
"No. Can you change that?"
Silence.
Then: "Close your eyes."
It was a good hug.
"Thanks."

@MicroSFF I love this. When I was little I believed the monsters under my bed were there to protect me while I slept.

After a few moments: "Thank you, too."
"Why that?"
"Arton is alyways scared of hugging me, cuase I'm a monster." the gravelly voice answered, sounding a little sad.
