"Tomorrow is always a new day, my love," Laurence whispers in Garroth's ear, rocking the both of them back and forth on his couch. They were wrapped in a very tight and loving hug which allowed Garroth to ball his eyes out into his boyfriend's chest.

"A new day full of more pain," Garroth mutters.

"Oh baby—"

"You okay?" Nicolás asks, walking down the stairs and padding over to the crying blonde. Garroth looks up at him and forces a smile, wiping his tears with his thumbs and nodding.

"Yeah, hun. I'm okay. Why are you up at this time?" Garroth's parent voice comes out as he speaks which made Laurence's heart skip a beat.

"Well I can't sleep anyways and I heard you crying your eyes out down here so I thought that instead of laying upstairs in my bed with nothing to do, I wouldn't be a total jerk and I would come down here and help someone who means a lot to me. So I'm gonna ask you one more time and you have to be honest with me if you love me. Are you okay?" Nicolás repeats his question again whilst Garroth bursts into more tears. Laurence sighs with a frown, tears glossing his eyes as well. His arms tighten around Garroth and he buries his face into Garroth's curled blonde locks. Nicolás sits down next to the couple, rubbing a hand on the blonde's back comfortingly.

"You should be happy."

"Nicolás!" Laurence shouts, fury slithering up his spine like a snake hunting for food.

"What?! I'm telling the truth! I mean would you rather him be happy or sad right now?! Look, I know it's hard that she's gone. But she suffered so much. You should be happy that she isn't hurting anymore and that she's finally at peace. And you should be happy when you think about how she's raised you as a person and what a good mother she was. I wish I had a mom like her. I mean come on, who wouldn't want a goofy woman like that as their mom?" Nicolás whispers, causing Garroth to smile and wipe his tears a little bit. Laurence grins and signals the child to continue. "Oh yeah and you know what?"

"What?"

"You've become just like her. And you should be happy that you have," he quietly whispers and Garroth's eyes widen, the whole world coming to a stop right then and there. Those words echoed in his head and more tears brimmed his eyes as he broke free from Laurence's grasp and wrapped Nicolás in a tight hug, crying into the boy's shoulder and murmuring out 'thank you' continuously. Nicolás began to cry as well, he loved Garroth and gladly accepted the strong hug.

"You know, this hug would be so much better if you were my dad, please become my dad," The boy whispers in Garroth's ear and the blonde smiles widely, wiping his tears and pulling away from the hug, only to cup Nicolás' face in his hands.

"Me and Laurence will talk about it, okay hun?"

"Okay," Nicolás trails off, grabbing the hand cupped on his face and smiling.

It goes silent as they all just sit there, enjoy each other's company.

"Okay, dad."
