A/N: Albert and Jake are both kiddos. Oof.

Jake's POV:

"Mom Can I go play with Albert!" I asked my mom. "Sure honey, just be back before dark!" She replied.

I grabbed my little jacket and bursted out of the door, running to where Albert lives. I saw him on his porch, and his eyes lit up when he saw me.

"JAKE!" He cheered, running to me and knocking me down on the ground. We both giggled loudly as we hugged each other tightly. We didn't let go after and few minutes, and when we did we finally got up. "Wanna go play on the swings?" He said cheerfully. "Sure!!"

I grabbed his hand as we both ran to the playground, seeing other children play there. I helped Albert get on the swings since he was too small. I picked him up and sat him down on the small swing.

"Okay! Remember what I told you. Swing your legs back and forth!" I said while pushing him a couple times.

"There you go!" I said, backing up. "Ah, Jake! I feel like I-I'm gonna fall!" Albert stuttered as the swing started shaking a little bit. I positioned myself and I soon caught him in my arms.

"Thanks Jake!!" He chirped, holding onto me tightly. I held him tightly against me. I saw some older kids walk by us. I could see them pointing at us and laughing. I think Albert noticed, and he tried talking to them. He hopped off gracefully, and trotted to them. "Hey guys! What's so funny?" He asked innocently. They started smirking. "Oh, Uh, nothing. It's just that you guys look like idiots, that's all." One of the boys said. "You can't even go on a swing by yourself" mumbled the other boy. I walked slowly towards Albert, and I could see him tearing up.

"Hey? What's your problem?" I asked them, staying near Albert in case they do anything stupid. "You guys are the problem." The boy said.

"C'mon Albert, let's go to my place." I said to him, taking his hand. He nodded slowly, sniffing a little bit. I could hear them laughing quietly behind us, but I ignored them. "Albert, do you wanna have a sleepover?" I asked him cheerfully. "Yeah! That'd be great!"

Albert dropped off all of his items in my room, and plopped down on the bed. "So... what do you wanna do now?" He asked, staring at the ceiling. "Oh! I promised you I'd show you how to play my violin!!" ( just go with it lmao ). I happily trotted to my case and opened it up, taking out the Violin and the bow. "So, it's okay if you don't play it right, because it takes lots of practice!" I said while tightening the bow. I set the bow down, and placed the shoulder rest on the instrument.

I motioned Albert to come here, as I picked up the bow.

I helped him put the delicate instrument on and showed him how to hold the bow. "You hold it like this" I said, showing him. As

Soon as he got it, I went behind him, and moved his arm so he can start playing it. "This is the D string" I whispered in his ear. I moved closer to him so his back pressed against my chest.

"If you place 1 finger on the D string, It's called an E." I said, placing his index finger on the finger board. "Whoa" whispered Albert, moving the bow smoothly across the strings. "If you place your middle finger on the board, it's an F" I said. He gently placed his finger on the board, and played an F. "There you go! You can play hot cross buns now!" I chirped happily.

"It goes F, E, D. F, E, D." I said. ( I'm not making this up I actually play violin ). I watched Albert play those notes all in tune.

"Wow!! Your a natural!!" I cheered, feeling proud. "Now it goes D D D D E E E E F, E, D!" I said. He then correctly played all of the notes.

He put down the instrument and yawned quietly. "I'm tired" he said. "Hey, wanna watch a movie?" I asked. "Sure!" He replied happily.

I clicked 'play' on the remote as I got in the bed next to Albert, bringing him a bag of popcorn. "What movie is this again?" Albert asked nervously. "It" I said casually, shoving a handful of popcorn in my mouth.

"I heard that movie was scary" Albert stuttered, going more under the bed sheets and moving closer to me. "Hey, It's okay. If you want, you can hold my hand." I said softly, stroking his hair. He smiled widely, and I felt a cold small hand wrap itself on mine. I squeezed it tightly, and resumed the movie.

Somewhere in the movie, there was a really big jump scare. I heard Albert yelp and grab onto me tightly. "I-I don't wanna watch anymore!!" He whimpered. I turned off the TV and set the popcorn to the side. "Do you want me to sleep with you tonight?" I asked him. He looked at me with big puppy eyes and nodded rapidly. I chuckled quietly, "Okay".

I turn off the lamp and I go more under the bed sheets, bringing Albert close to me. I stroked his hair softly, and snuggled him. I could sense him smiling.

"Goodnight Jake" He chirped.

"Goodnight Albert!"
