I knew today was one of Mumei's rougher days, usually he's a lot happier and such. After taking his medicine and eating we settled down to watch our movies. It was no surprise to me that he fell asleep around thirty minutes later. I just smiled gently and pressed my lips to his temple.
"Sleep well babe," I murmured, my own eyes drifting closed.
"Mumei!" I laughed out chasing the shorter boy around the yard. Joyful giggles escaped the fifteen year old's lips. I picked him up and spun him around. Mumei squealed and I set him down laughing.
Mumei yawned and rubbed his eyes tiredly. I picked him up causing him to curl into me.
"Go ahead and close your eyes babe," I said carrying him.
"Babe?" He asked tiredly.
I smiled and nodded. "It suits you," I said with a shrug. Mumei just smiled and drifted asleep.
I woke up to someone lightly pushing on my shoulder. My eyes fluttered open and I looked at my mom, blinking slowly.
"Hey, " I mumbled with a yawn.
She smiled softly. "Hey, what happened today?" She asked worried.
"He didn't take his pills today or yesterday so he had a nightmare and panic attack. " I sighed softly rubbing my hand through his hair, gently massaging his scalp.
"Oh.." She said with a sad sigh.
I just nodded and watched his sleeping face. Mumei looked so serene right now, his head pressed into my hand and his lips slightly parted in a cute way. A soft smile crossed my lips and I heard my mom laugh softly.
"Well, I'm going to make dinner. You two can sleep until it's done," she said ruffling my hair and walking into the kitchen.
I cuddled him closer and kissed his head, rubbing his back as I slowly fell asleep.
•••
I groaned softly as my eyes fluttered open.
"Jason, cmon you and Mumei need to eat," my mom said gently.
I nodded tiredly. "We'll be right there," I replied, carefully sitting up, moving Mumei onto my lap.
My mom nodded and walked back to the kitchen. I gently kissed his head.
"Mumei, you need to wake up babe. It's time for dinner," I said gently, rubbing his lower back. A soft groan left his lips.
"Not hungry. " he muttered his body curling further into mine, his eyes remaining close.
"Mumei you need to eat," I coaxed rubbing his back.
"Shh let me fucking sleep," he groaned nuzzling my neck.
I sighed and shook my head no. I wrapped a blanket around him gently before standing with him in my arms. He grumbled under his breath and curled closer. I sat him down in his seat and he tiredly rubbed his eyes. He gave me a glare and I chuckled.
"Whoops. " I said innocently. A soft smile crossed his lips and he shrugged. Our mom smiled at us and shook her head no.
"Dig in. " she said motioning to the pizza.
Mumei nibbled on one of his pieces, a certain look on his face. Mom looked at him confused before looking at me. I frowned and shrugged. I gently took one of his hands. He jumped dropping his slice into his plate and snatching his hand away. My frown deepened as he sighed.
"Sorry, you scared me," he said quietly taking back my hand. Mom frowned and sat up a little straighter.
"Mumei, honey, what's wrong? You've been acting strange," she said worriedly, and I gave a slight nod.
He froze up and slightly curled towards my direction. His gaze dropped to his lap and he stayed quiet. "I, uh, I," his bottom lip trembled.
I frowned. "C'mere," I soothed patting my lap. He rubbed at his eyes and crawled onto my lap, resting his head on my chest.
"I just feel out of it I guess. " Mumei mumbled, closing his eyes a bit. "The nightmares and flashbacks have just really been messing with me. "
A soft sigh left my lips and began gently running my fingers through his hair and massaging his scalp. He leaned into my touch.
"Oh honey, it's all alright. " Mom soothed.
"Mums right babe. "I said gently kissing his forehead. He sniffled but nodded curling closer. Mumei nuzzled my collar bone and lightly clung to me. Mom smiled at us.
"Okay you too, enough lovey-dovey you need to eat," she teased. Mumei laughed and I smiled. He pulled his plate next to mine and just ate on my lap.
••••
I groaned, holding Mumei closer as mom shook my shoulder.
"Get up honey, I need you take Mumei and yourself upstairs and dress nice. It's time for that work picnic of my honey," she said quietly.
"Alright," I mumbled slowly shifting Mumei into my lap as I sat up. I stood and set him on my hip. The sleeping boy let out a soft huff, clinging to to me and lightly gripping my shirt. My lips pressed to his temple as I carried him upstairs to my room.
"Mumei babe wake up," I cooed gently, sitting on the edge of my bed and running my fingers through his hair gently.
"No," he grumbled clinging to me tighter. I gently kissed his head again.
"C'mon babe we've got to get dressed. We've got to go to that lunch at mom's work," I said rubbed his back.
A soft groan left his lips and he blinked, curling closer. "Can I wear one of your flannels?" He mumbled sleepily.
I grinned softly and nodded. "Of course babe. Your black skinny jeans too right?"
The tired boy managed a nod and crawled off of my lap and onto my bed. He curled up cutely and closed his eyes, making me smile. I stood and got clothes for Mumei.
Beautiful boy I though as I turned around and looked at his sleeping figure. I grew still in shock at the thought. I merely shook it off with a sigh and gently woke him up again.
A tired Mumei sat up and lifted his arms over his head in a child like way. "Dress me?" He mumbled rubbing at his eye and pouting sleepily.
I couldn't help the soft laugh that left my lips. All through his high school years I'd dress him because he was to tired to do it himself. I was the only one he'd selectively choose to see him naked if he had to choose someone. Of course there have been moments were he was forced to strip so they could check for cuts but he complied if I was there. I lifted my old sweatshirt off the boy and slipped the flannel onto him. Mumei slid down his tights and kicked them off tiredly. I took a moment to admire how he looked in the large flannel before helping the tired boy into his black skinny jeans.
I kissed his head and watched him lay back on the bed before changing into my tan skinny jeans and a nice, plain shirt. I grabbed our shoes and picked Mumei back up before carrying him downstairs.
"Jason don't leave me alone at the picnic okay?" Mumei asked nuzzling my neck.
"Of course not babe. " I said kissing his temple gently.
Our mom smiled softly as she opened the door. I carried a still tired Mumei to the car and set him in the back seat. He buckled and I closed his door after kissing his head. I got in the front seat and mom got in the driver seat.

"Shayly!" A deep voice called. A fake smile grew on her lips as a taller man walked over.
"Hello Kat," she said lightly gritting her teeth. I held back a laugh as I watched.
"Ah these must be your kids! Jason and Mason correct?" He asked with a smile.
Mumei lightly stayed closer to our mom. "Mumei," he mumbled looking at the ground.
The man didn't hear him and continued talking. "Oh you must meet my son. Matt! Come over here!" He called.
A slightly short boy, around five inches taller than Mumei, walked over. He had curly red hair that laid on his head messily and bright green eyes. "Hello, I'm Matt," the boy said with a lopsided grin.
"I'm Jason," I said with a smile and held out my hand. His smaller hand gripped mine and shook it. Mumei's hands are softer, instantly came to my mind but I shook it off.
Soon Matt and I got pulled into deep conversation, my thoughts still slightly on Mumei.
"Jason?" I heard Mumei say quietly from behind me.
"Just a second please. " I said to Matt flashing a smile before turning to Mumei.
"What's up ba-bud?" I said quickly correcting myself from saying babe. Hurt flashed through his eyes and he looked down.
"Never mind. " he murmured before rushing back off to mom.
I frowned and went to go after him until I felt someone grab my upper arm. "Are you really going to leave me in the middle of us talking?" Matt asked with a small pout, tilting his head. I hesitated. He'll be fine, I thought before talking to Matt again.Hey guys, it's a little late sorry .-.-. And short, but I've got a great plan for this book and I'm really excited :33 anyways, follow, share, and vote! <33
