KITTY
Guard.
Tom rubs Kitty with a towel so that her skin turns red, and she squeaks and begs for mercy. Louis sleeps like the dead. He doesn't wake up even when they quietly climb back into bed, and Keith hugs his lean, sleep-curled body. He only sighs anxiously, frowns, but then presses her hand to him and breathes deeply and evenly again.
Slipping into sleep, surprisingly quickly, Tom hears his parents waking up. The door slams, steps, the clatter of dog paws along the corridor. Muffled voices... And then he falls asleep. Calm, deep and strong.
