Peter's pov
I was in my room, sleeping or can say struggling while sleeping. I was getting those random cravings which was causing me extreme anxiety and I was sweating a lot. I tossed on my bed, right and left with my eyes shut, partially sleeping.
I heard my door click open and someone walked near me and with the way my pacing heart calmed down and the air relaxed me, I can definitely tell Cole was here. He put his hand on my forehead then probably set the AC for me exchanging my extremely warm blanket to a slightly warmer one.
" I know you aren't fully asleep, minion." He said and I shot my eyes open
" I am so sleepy Cole but I just can't. I am getting so anxious and sweaty, I need to take a hit."
He sat me up and went to take a damp cloth from the bathroom and wiped my arms and face a few times with that as he said," Calm down Pete, you are doing so well. Have some water, we can't make this urge defeat my little warrior, can we?"
I shook my head as no and drank some water and with whatever he was doing so far, my condition did become normal. He sat beside me caressing my hair.
" How do you feel now?"
" Much better."
I snuggled onto my brother, his odor is everything! Nothing can calm me better than this. I feel motivated to not give up, I feel protected, I feel relaxed in his embrace. He brushed away the hair from my face.
" This is definitely so hard but I am so proud of you for taking control of your own mind and fighting against it so well. I am also grateful that you considered us, your family, enough to stop immediately. I know this is very hard, fighting addiction when you become a prey again, but you are doing so well. Drink as much water as you can and if you don't feel comfortable enough to sleep on your own, you know that you got me, Minime."
I nodded, clinging on to him.
" This is so hard Cole, I don't feel good."
" I know that and I also know that this too shall pass. Don't lose your ground so easily."
He kept playing with my hair and said some sweet words to me till I didn't realize I dozed off.
Next day™
I was sleeping peacefully till I felt being shook
" Wake up minion, let's go for a walk." I heard Cole calling for me.
I opened my eyes slowly and greeted him
" Morning " I said as I yawned, mixing up my words while he chuckled at me.
" Morning sunshine! Now get up."
I got up and then we both went out for a jog. After covering the yard we took the dogs with us and just casually walked them around with us. The morning was so refreshing and a good start to the day. I was feeling so motivated and so uplifted that I can't describe.
We went back home as I headed upstairs to my room to shower. I got ready and came downstairs to join Dad, Cole and Nico sitting and chatting, each busy with a cup of coffee.
" Morning Daddy! Morning Nico!"
" Morning Pete." Came the reply
I went and sat between Dad and Nico, basically hanging on dad, wrapping my arms around him.
" Wow, so nice, no hugs for me hmm, very good." Nico said dramatically
" I just couldn't digest that you are awake so treating you like you are not here." I chuckled
