Third Person's POV:

"Bye Daddy!" Matthew waved back energetically at Xander as he jumped out of the car and running towards his childcare teacher whom he greeted with a goofy smile.

"Take care!" Xander shouted back only to have it fall on deaf ears. Sulking slightly at the attention his son is giving to his teacher, he grumbled at how his boy gets easily blinded by the pretty ones before starting the engine before driving to work. He no doubt had to admit that his son's teacher was above average but of course, no one had the ability to steal his heart like how Kye had.

"Matty! Morninggg! Wanna play?" Norman, his bestfriend, jumped on him excitedly upon seeing the brown haired angel. Norman has taken a liking towards Matthew since the day they started kindergerten.

"Sorry Norman, I have something to do…" Matthew apologised, scratching the back of his head with slight guilt for turning his bestfriend down. A small pout that formed on Norman's lips in slight disappointment disappeared as soon as it had appeared and within seconds, he was jumping excitedly, wanting to help Matthew out with his business.

"Can I help? Can I can I? Pleaseeee?" He pleaded adorably, showing his puppy eyes to Matthew which Matthew eventually caved in to with a soft sigh.

"Okay…" Leading his friend by hand to a corner with an ample supply of whiteboard markers and a large whiteboard to doodle on, he plopped himself down onto a chair before taking out a piece of folded paper from his uniform pockets. Handing his curious friend a marker and taking one for himself, he unfolded the piece of paper to reveal the words to summon Satan.

"A-Are we going to write those?" Norman asked fearfully, his face paled at the sight of nightmare itself. He believed that reading all those will end up summoning a devil itself. He wasn't going to be involved.

"Yup! Everything!" Matthew announced proudly. Almost immediately, his bestie had disappeared, excusing himself for a toilet break even though it was barely 5 minutes since school had started. This made Matthew wonder what's wrong with the paper as he stared at the long list of numbers from 1 to 100 and how to read it. Maybe his friend was just forgot to pee at home, he believed. But weirdly, even after 30 minutes, his friend was nowhere to be seen. Not that Matthew even minded, he was too focused on trying to read all the numbers correctly.

Reaching the number 100, he wrote it down onto the whiteboard with ease, followed by an equal sign but then gasp lightly when he realised that his Uncle Cas had forgotten to write down how to read '100' as. Glancing around for help frantically, he pouted worriedly when he realised that the teachers were busy with his other friends.

Furrowing his brows, he took in a deep breath before deciding to take matters into his own hands. Re-reading the other numbers, he gasped at how the answer was already there all along. "Since 99 = ninety-nine, 100 = tenty-zero!" He cheered in delight, proud of himself that he was able to figure out his own problems.

"Matthew, that's hundred, not tenty-zero." His teacher chuckled lightly at his cuteness, as he erased the tenty-zero to replace it with the word 'hundred'.

"Oh! Thank you Teacher Lily! It's hundred..." Tears dripped down his face as his bottom lip trembled. He already knew hundred but his papa is still nowhere to be found. Sobbing lightly, he rubbed his cheek against his teacher's one as if on reflex as he felt his tears get wiped away.

"Sorry Matthew."

"Daddyyyyy!" Matthew exclaimed as he ran and jumped into Xander's embrace, hugging his arms around Xander's neck.

"Woah, calm down kiddo, how was school?" Xander questioned as he caught his breath which got hit out by his son.

"Fun! Marry my teacher daddy!" Matthew cheered, jumping on the spot eagerly as he awaited his daddy's response.
