Win's POV

When he fell asleep, I couldn't help but feel sad for him. His mother wouldn't except him for the way he is. I cuddled him and pulled up the covers to his neck. He wasn't asleep with the happy face that he normally had. His face was broken and upset, terrified and hurt. I wondered how long he has been dealing with this kind of mother. I wanted to hurt that woman so bad, but if I did, he would take it in the wrong way. 

We slept the whole night, and when I woke up, Team was still sleeping. I quietly got out of the bed and started to get eggs, uncooked bacon, and pancake mix from my refrigerator. I cooked in the kitchen and when I finished cooking, I looked back to the bed to see that he was still asleep. I smiled a pitiful smile and started plating the pancakes, scrambled eggs, and freshly cooked bacon on the table. 

I then grabbed a tablecloth from the kitchen closet and put it on the table. I put cushions on the seats to make them more comfortable, and then I put the plates on the table. I checked my phone to see that it was 10:00 am already. Team normally wakes up at around 10:30, so I finished making breakfast just in time. 

I was sitting on my phone in the kitchen waiting for Team to wake up when I suddenly hear him start to cry. I run into the bedroom to see him looking around the room with darting eyes. He must be looking for me. I run to him and hug him.

"It's okay. I'm here," I said, stroking the back of his head.

He held onto me tightly and mumbled something I couldn't hear.

"What was that?" I asked.

"I had a bad dream," He said, his voice stabilizing a little bit.

"It's alright. I have made something that can make you feel better," I said.

"Really?" He said, getting up, "What is it?"

"Come on, I'll show you," I said, holding his hand leading him to the kitchen.

When we got there, his face immediately lit up. Not as much as it normally would, but it was better to see him happier than to not see him happy at all. He walked over to me and hugged me. I hugged him back with as much love as I could give.

"Thank you so much for being so amazing to me. You always make me happier whenever I am sad, and hardly anyone can do that. Thank you," He said, backing away from the hug.

I smiled at him, and we moved to sit down at the table. He put a few pancakes on his plate, and then he grabbed some scrambled eggs and three pieces of bacon. He started to eat and then sighed in satisfaction. I didn't realize that I was staring until he looked at me with a weird facial expression. I quickly looked away and started to eat my share of the food. I could hear a little giggle from across the table, and I smiled. He's so cute. 

When we finished eating, I told him that he should take the next few days off.

"You think I should?" He said, and I nodded.

"I think... I think that, after what happened yesterday, it would be best for you to do it," I said. 

"Alright. I'll just call in sick for a few days. Won't hurt anything right?" He said, with a small smile.

I smiled and started to put the dishes over by the sink to wash later. I walked over to Team, who was sitting on the side of the bed, most likely lost in his thoughts, and put my hand around his waist. He looked at me and then leaned his head on my shoulder.
