Tao sat straight up in a cold sweat. He placed a hand over his racing heart, trying to calm himself down. A trickle of sweat rolled down his neck and Tao wiped it away before it fell on his shoulder. Tao didn't remember his nightmare but he knew it had to been bad if he woke up like this.

Tao sat for a few more seconds before throwing the covers off his body. He placed one foot on the ground gingerly, hissing when his toes touched the cold stone floor. Tao walked over to his window, pulling at the curtains. It was most probably around 6:00, seeing how the sun was just coming up.

Tao pouted, he didn't want to get up this early but he also didn't want to go back to sleep, in case he had another nightmare.

Tao slipped into his fluffy panda slippers and wrapped his cardigan from yesterday around his body before making his way to his parents' chamber. He knocked on the wooden doors, straining his ears for an answer.
Tao pushed the doors open when he heard no reply. He made his way to his parents' king sized bed and clambered over Junmyeon's or Yixing's body. Tao didn't know who, they were covered by the duvet.

Junmyeon groaned as he felt a body slip into covers next to him. He peeked one eye open to see his third youngest son snuggled warmly in between Yixing and him.

"Tao baby...what are you doing here?" He asked groggily. Tao turned to his dad when he heard him calling out for him.

"I had a bad dream daddy." Tao replied pouting slightly, scared that his dad might force him to go back to his own room. Yixing cooed and ran his fingers through Tao's blonde hair. Tao smiled and snuggled into his mom.

Junmyeon frowned, "Why won't you ever snuggle with me?"

Tao stuck his tongue out at his dad, "Because mommy is more comfortable."

Junmyeon frowned and started tickling Tao. Tao gasped and started laughing, "Dad! No stop!" He said in between breaths.  Junmyeon just ignored his son as he continued his vicious tickle attack on Tao.

He finally stopped and smiled triumphantly, "That'll teach ya' not to mess with King Junmyeon."

Yixing rolled his eyes, "Oh please. You're giving yourself too much credit."

Junmyeon was about to say something but the chamber doors creaked open. Tao looked up to see Sehun standing by the doorway, hair stuck up in all directions while rubbing his eyes with his hand.

"Dammit Tao beat me."
Sehun pouted.

"Come here baby....there's room for one more."

"WHAT ABOUT THREE MORE?!"

Tao jumped when he heard Kai scream.

Kai pushed past Sehun and jumped onto the bed and landed on Tao. Tao groaned and pushed his heavy brother off of him.

Baekhyun quickly followed and landed on top of Tao and Kai. Sehun shrugged and quickly jumped onto the bed, being careful to avoid Tao who was staring daggers at Kai and Baekhyun.

Junmyun grunted and pushed Sehun off of him, "Okay where's the fifth devil?"

Xiumin popped his head in, "Hey. Howya doing?"
Yixing laughed and motioned him over. Xiumin lit up and raced towards the already full bed.

He took a leap and landed on Kai, Sehun and Baekhyun causing him to get sworn at by multiple people.

Yixing cooed at the sight of all five of his kids huddled under the blanket, "Awh....look at you guys. Junmyeon doesn't it remind you of the days when they were just little babies?"
