Our Brother is a Superhero

6

Olivia and Liam slept peacefully for most of the night until Liam's statement was confirmed and Harry woke up from another nightmare and decided to seek comfort from his brother. He gathered his favourite teddy bear, a small brown puppy that Liam had given him as it reminded him of his brother. He had named it Lucky after Liam had convinced him to not name it Liam.

"LiLi." Harry sniffled as he entered Liam's room, Lucky under his arm and his thumb of his other hand occupied his mouth.

"Liam I think we have a visitor." Olivia yawned, shaking Liam as she sat up to see the small boy standing at the end of the bed, now hugging the stuffed toy to his chest.

"What's up bud?" Liam asked, now wide awake. It's a skill he's learned over the years, if he's woken up by one of the boys he can be sharp as a tack in ten seconds flat.

"Had a bad dream LiLi." He said sniffling, still standing awkwardly as he didn't know if he was welcome in Liam's bed tonight since Olivia was there.

"Awwww c'mere bud." Liam said and opened his arms. Harry jumped on the bed and crawled in beside Liam and Olivia.

"What was this dream about?" Liam cooed as he ran his hands through Harry's curls. Harry let out a relaxed and contented sigh and leaned into Liam's touch.

"The bad guys from LouLou's game came to get me." He said, referring to Louis' video game, Grand Theft Auto which he had watched Louis play while Liam had gone out for groceries one day.

"Baby, it's not real. It's all pretend. However, no more watching Louis' video games or movies and I'll have a talk to him tomorrow about it." Liam said sighing, already knowing how inappropriate the game was.

Olivia started to rub circles onto Harry's bare milky stomach as his pyjama top had risen up a little. He turned his attention to her and smiled, playing with the bobble on her wrist she had forgotten to take off.

"Are you wet bud?" Liam asked and as soon as those words left his mouth, Harry's cheeks lit up.

"No LiLi." He whined, embarrassed. Liam raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything else, not wanting to upset the boy even further.

However, he did need to know if Harry was wet or not because they had experiences with rashes before and Harry hated it. He was so uncomfortable and in so much pain, and it always hurt Liam when one of the boys were in pain. He discreetly stuck his finger in the waistband of Harry's pull-up to find that it was wet, not that he was surprised.

"Harry, why don't we go into the toilet love?" Liam asked, knowing that Harry wouldn't want him to announce that he needed a change in front of Olivia.

"No LiLi." Harry insisted as he cuddled up with Olivia. She seemed to have caught on to what was happening as she tried to make Harry go with Liam.

"Harry babe, it's okay if you need to go get a change. Why don't you go get freshened up with LiLi and when you come back we can all cuddle." She said, swiftly dealing with the elephant in the room.

Harry looked at her, momentarily shocked until he snapped out of it and took Liam's outstretched hand and went into Liam's ensuite. Getting freshened up did sound nicer than sitting in a soggy pull-up for the rest of the night.

In no time Liam had cleaned Harry and had another pull-up on him. He then led the younger boy back to bed where Olivia was waiting.
