There's a picture of my dog Shiloh at our beach house for anyone who cares😂
Y/n's POV
"Kayden...what's wrong?" I demand, despite his cold remark.
"Nothing, go back to bed."
"I came in here 'cause I couldn't sleep."
"Alright, come here." He moves over on his bed and I walk over, crawl into his bed and sit beside him.
"Seriously, why are you crying?" I ask softly, staring into his red and puffy eyes. He stays quiet. "Alright, wordless conversation? Guessing game? Charades? Kayd, what's wrong?"
"Pansy...Mattheo...our mother...everyone who's supposed to be close during this time of the year is...unreachable." I lick my lips and sigh, heartbroken at the sound of his voice breaking and giving in.
"Come here," I pull him close to me, holding his head against my chest and his arms wrap around my waist. I run my hand over his mess of fluffy hair over and over, feeling his body shake now and then with new sobs. "You know I cried over Mattheo earlier too," I sniff, "But everything's gonna be alright, I promise you."
"I'm sorry, I know you probably just wanted to sleep..."
"Shut up." I scoff, "When you're hurting I'm hurting too, and I will never let your pain go unnoticed. No point in keeping secrets anymore, remember?"
"Yeah...I remember." he sniffs, "Then I guess I should tell you..."
"Tell me what?"
"...I used your toothbrush." I let out a quiet laugh. "And your fancy shampoo and conditioner."
"Wow," I whisper, "Was it a step up from your ten-in-one bottle?"
"It saves space and money and time." His smile which lasted a near five seconds diminishes and he sighs again. "Sorry,"
"For what?"
"For making jokes right now."
"No, it's fine. I'm happy you still have that light inside you."
"Why do I feel guilty every time I feel happy? It's like...I feel like I'm not allowed to be happy, am I a terrible brother to Mattheo to not feel miserable after..."
"No. Mattheo would want you to move on and live like it's your last day on earth, he wants you to love and to care to laugh and smile, everyone knows that they want you to keep that piece of you that will never grow up, that makes everyone smile in the worst of times. Don't feel guilty for being happy, because Mattheo will be happy if you are."
"Can I hug you again?"
"Fucking teddy bear," I mumble and wrap my arms around him once more.

"Y/n," Someone whispers as I drift back into consciousness, "Y/n, wake up."
"Mm, close the curtains!" Groan, turning over and blocking the light with a blanket. "What time even is it?"
"One pm." The voice answers, I open my eyes and see it's, to no surprise, Kayden.
"One?"
"Yeah, we slept in late. I only just pried you off me, bloody koala."
"Shut up,"
"We should get up though, I think Dad had to leave early today for work at MACUSA, we'll find something to eat then we should go on a walk."
"I'm not hungry, but we should go on a walk."
"Alright- wait, you're not hungry?"
"Nah,"
