3RD POV

It was around 2:30am and Patrick was wide awake. The room was pitch black so he couldn't see if Pete was asleep, or here at all for that matter.

Patrick sighed quietly and slowly slipped out of bed, trying not to trip on the too long pajama pants that bunched around his ankles. He felt his way around the room and found the doorknob, silently turning it and walking down the stairs.

A TV was on in the living room, so the very short boy followed the sound and walked into the living room where Joe, Andy, and Pete all sat sleepily on the couch. Pete was the first to notice the strawberry blonde enter the room.

He didn't say anything, but patted the area on the couch right next to him softly. Patrick sleepily waddled over and sat down, not hesitating to lay his head on Pete's lap and get comfortable. He then soon felt a calloused, but gentle, hand begin running its fingers through his hair slowly.

The TV became background noise and only the sound on Pete's breathing and heartbeat became noticeable. Joe and Andy were oblivious to anything that was happening, as they had fallen asleep seconds after Patrick had walked in.

It only took moments until Patrick's breathing evened out and soft snores came from him. Pete smiled down at the small boy, looking even smaller in the oversized clothes. The oldest soon dozed off as well, his hand still laying on Patrick.

Time Skip To The Morning•

Joe woke up to the sound of bacon sizzling and the smell of toast in the air. It was almost so enticing he almost stood and ran to the kitchen, until he realized there was a sleeping Andy with his arms wrapped around his waist, breathing softly through his mouth.

"Andy, wake up, Ryan and Brendon are making breakfast." Joe spoke quietly to not wake Patrick or Pete. He shook Andy gently.

"Hmm..?" Andy opened his eyes slowly, sitting up and yawning. He smelled the toast and smiled tiredly. "Breakfast?"

Joe chuckled and nodded. "C'mon, Pete and Patrick will wake up when they feel like it. They've always been heavy sleepers."

Andy agreed and wet out to the kitchen, sitting down at a seat. There were plates all set out and trays of food with bacon, eggs, toast, omelettes, and hash browns piled up on them. Joe took as much food as he could eat, while Andy only took some hash browns and two pieces of toast. All the food was completely prodigious.

Pete soon joined them as well and got his meal, sitting down next to Ryan. Minutes later, Patrick joined, stumbling slightly and taking his seat next to Pete. He nibbled on a piece of toast as Ryan started talking.

"So, my lovelies," Ryan started.

"Don't call them lovelies, Ry, that's weird." Brendon interrupted through a mouthful of bacon.

"Anyways, so like I promised yesterday, we're gonna take you all out shopping for some new clothes and just stuff you would need." He smiled.

They all smiled and thanked Ryan, finishing their food and going up to get dressed in their freshly washed outfits they arrived in. "Come on, boys! We're leaving!" Brendon called from the front doorway.

The four boys came down the stairs and walked out the door, getting into Brendon's large car, since Ryan's was too small. The drive to the mall was uneventful and short.

Everyone got out of the car and went up to the entrance and going inside. "So, where do you guys want to go first?" Ryan clasped his hands together and looked at the boys.

"Uhh.." The four all looked at each other in confusion. They had never actually truly been clothes shopping and none of these stores were in their hometown.

"Why don't we just start walking, yeah?" Brendon suggested, taking Ryan's hand and beginning to walk.

The boys followed them through stores and picking out things they liked. It was maybe 2 to 3 hours they had spent before finally leaving and heading back home.

"Thank you guys, really. We appreciate it so much." Patrick thanked them politely. Pete, Joe, and Andy all hummed in agreement.

"Of course guys! All you had to wear was the clothes you had already owned, and we have more money than we know what to do with, so it's really not a problem." Brendon smiled kindly in the rearview mirror.

Everybody got home and shuffled out of the car, taking all their bags inside and setting them on the table. "Now, I don't know about everyone else, but I could use a nap." Ryan announced.

We all nodded and went up to our own rooms. Patrick couldn't, or rather didn't feel like, make it to his own bed and collapsed on Pete's. The taller male fell beside him and pulled him into his chest like a large teddy bear.

It was minutes until they both fell asleep in each others arms.
