Tobias flapped up from his tree in the meadow and lifted off into the dark night sky. The darkness didn't matter; he knew where he was going and how to get there so well he didn't need to see.
Rachel's window.
It was a warm night, so Rachel had left it open, even though she wasn't expecting him to stop by. Tobias took advantage of this and landed on her desk. Glancing over at the bed, he saw that she was asleep. Disappointed, he turned to leave, but something on Rachel's desk caught his eye. Rachel's journal. He looked at, curiosity drawing him closer.
We had a mission today, to free more Controllers. God, it was awful. Anytime we go to the Yeerk Pool, it's worth about three weeks of nightmares. As horrible as it was for us, it must have been so much worse for Tobias. He almost died down in that hellish pit. When the Dracon beam hit him, this sick feeling washed over me. God, I was scared. It hit me then just how much I care for him. He is my shoulder to lean on, my main support. I would have gone insane a long time ago without him. It would kill me inside if he died. He is my soulmate, and I love him more than I can put into words.
Tobias thought for a moment, then slowly morphed to human. He picked up the pen laying next to Rachel's notebook, and began to write.
Rachel,
I came over here to talk to you, but you were sleeping. I read your journal entry for today. Don't be mad, I want to thank you. I don't feel like a piece of crap anymore, knowing that you care about me. I love you, Rachel, and I could not survive without you. You are always here to listen when I need to talk, you comfort me when I'm scared and lonely. Don't ever leave me, Rachel, I love you too much.
He flew off, feeling much more at peace than when he had come.
