    Summary

    "It started out as a silly thing, really. They were walking idly through a store, not looking for anything in particular, when they (he and Andrew) stumbled across the baby section. Neil’s eyes found a baby blanket, just barely noticeable from the corner of his eye. Again, a silly thing, but Neil became drawn to it. Thinking back to his childhood, he couldn’t remember ever having a baby blanket or a stuffed animal of any kind. It shouldn’t have caught his attention, but it did, and he ended up pausing in the middle of the aisle to stare, eyes somehow blank yet swimming with so many emotions. Of course, Andrew caught on, but nothing was done about it. Not the first time, at least, but the third time it happened, Andrew silently grabbed the baby blanket (white with little bears that had little pink bows around their neck), and that was that. So Neil now had a baby blanket."

     

    Title from "Bombs on Monday morning" -- an unreleased Melanie Martinez song

    It's a relatively short and easy read :)
