No POV
After Logan, Patton, and Emile left, Remus asked his dad if it was alright if Remy slept over. Mr. Kingsley said that it was fine and he will set up the cot in Roman and Remus' room. Virgil texted Roman and Remus apologizing once again for what happened and that they will be over tomorrow after school. Remus and Remy go to school in 3 days. While Roman goes back in 2 days.
Roman POV
I can't sleep. Remy snores like a bull horn. Remus snores not as loud. BUT WITH BOTH THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE IS GETTING ANY SLEEP. I get up and tip toe around Remys cot and open the door slowly with no creeks. I shut it slowly squeaking it a bit at the end.
I guess I could do some of my homework. I go downstairs to the middle of the hallway past the kitchen. There's a door with its white paint peeling a bit. The basement. I open it and see a spoopy dark abyss waiting for me at the bottom. I flick the light on and see maroon colored carpet with a bunch of princess dresses and dolls scattered on the floor. I walk down the stairs to see a giant basement with a tv and a loft. I pick up all the dresses and toys on the floor and put them in the bin. I crawl up the ladder to the loft to see all the homework Virgil and Logan brought me in a pile completely unfinished. My backpack is lying next to it stuffed to the brim. I pick it up off the ground. It weighs like 70 freaking pounds. I drop it on the sofa and start going through it. I start to organize the papers and the packets into classes.
Time skip
I'm finally done sorting all my work. Now to sit down and start fucking doing it.
Remus POV
I wake up on the floor. I must've fallen out of bed. Remy is knocked out on the cot. I get up off the floor and see Roman not in bed. I get up and open and close the door quietly. I make my way down the hall and it is silent. Not a sound through the whole house. I walk downstairs to see 2 people asleep on it. I assume it's Roman and Rosie. No. It's Reggie and Rosie.
Where is he?
I keep looking around. I checked all the bathrooms and bathtubs. I checked all the rooms upstairs and all the rooms downstairs. Still nothing.
I walked outside and circled the house and checked the roof and the chimney. I can't find him.
I walk back inside and I'm starting to panic cause I can't fuckin find him!
I open the door to the house and see Reggie sat up and rubbing his eyes.
"Reggie? You ok?" I ask and Reggie looks at me with a couple tears in his eyes.
"Y-yeah I'm fine.. Why were you outside?" He says trying to change the subject. He's upset. I'll talk to him later.
"I-I can't find Roman. He's not in bed. He's not in the house. I checked every room in this god damn house. And and I can't find him!" I say frustrated. I put my hands in my hair and take my fingers through it. I hear Reggie get up.
"It's ok. We will find him." Reggie says putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Ok.." I say taking a deep breath.
Reggie helped me check the house for the 2nd time. We checked every square inch of the house.
"ARRRRGGGG!! WHERE IS HE?!" I yell throwing something across the room.
"I don't know but we'll find him. How about you go and-" Reggie starts to say and he gets cut off.
*knock knock*
I walk over and open the door. I see a extremely tired Virgil and a slightly less tired Emile.
"Hey uhh we brought- umm are you good?" Virgil says pointing at my messy hair and stressed out look on my face.
"Yeah yes fine. Umm what did you wanna umm..." I say and I forget all the words I was going to say.
"Ree let's sit down and take a breather ok?" Reggie says putting his hands on my shoulders.
"Ok.." I say out of breath. We walk over and sit on couch. Reggie invites Virgil and Emile inside.
"Why are you two up so early?" Reggie asks while handing me a cup of water.
"We had the early shift at the cafe." Emile says taking a sip of his coffee.
"Oh here. We brought you guys donuts to thank you for dinner." Virgil says picking up the bag and placing it on the coffee table.
"It's crooked on the table." My finger starts to twitch and make a rhythmic pattern on the table.
"It's crooked." I grip my pants trying to get my finger to stop.
"It's crooked!!" I start to bounce my leg up and down to try to ease the tension.
"CROOKED!!!" I finally straighten the bag of donuts on the table and I feel tears prick up in my eyes.
"Remus!" Reggie yells snapping my out of it. I look up at him. He's right in front of me.
"Ve a tomar tu medicina" (go take your medicine)
I get up and go to the bathroom.
Reggie POV
"Is he ok?" Virgil asks me.
"Yeah he's ok. He didn't take his medicine yet and he's super stressed out right now." I say playing with my fingers.
"Why is he stressed?" Emile asks as he takes a sip of his coffee.
"Oh yeah we couldn't find Roman." I say remembering the whole debacle from this morning.
"What do you mean 'couldn't find him'? He's right behind you.." Virgil says pointing behind me.
I turn around to see a very tired Roman pour a cup of coffee. He's got his headphones on so he can't hear us.
Remus walks down the stairs and sees us looking at the kitchen. He looks over and relief floods his face. He races over and tackles Roman to the ground.
Roman POV
"REMUS!!" I scream as I'm tackled to the ground. My headphones fly off my Remus is bear hugging me and I don't think he's gonna let me go anytime soon.
"Ree??-"
"Never do that again." He says gripping me a little tighter. He stands up and picks me up with him.
"Do what?" I say in confusion.
"Disappear!! I looked all over for you!" Remus says upset.
"What are you talking about? I was in the basement." I say and he freezes and lets go of me. He looks at me with a very confused look.
"We have a basement?" Remus says astonished.
"Jesus Mary Joseph" Reggie says while laughing
"You've lived in this house for 2 weeks and you didn't know we had a basement." I say while laughing and wheezing.
"Shut up ok!" Remus says with another giggle.
"Well on that note we have to go." Virgil says standing up and making his way to the door. I didn't even know they were there.
"Bye Virgin and Emmy!!" Remus yells waving at the 2 boys.
Virgil huffs at the nickname and Emile giggles at it.
I hear a grumble by the stairs. I look up and see Remy wobbling down the stairs.
"Hey Rem! How'd you sleep?" Remus says walking away from me.
"Great actually." He says with a small tired smile.
"Alright I'm gonna go finish my work-" I stay and start to walk towards the door.
"Ohhh no. Your staying here. Having a cup of coffee and eating breakfast. I'm making it not Reggie so it will be good." Remus says and Reggie makes a exaggerated gasp. I giggle as he drags me to the couch. I plop down next to a sleeping Rosie and Reggie.
"Ro you look exhausted. Did you sleep last night?" Reggie asks as I lay my head on his shoulder.
(BROTHERLY LOVE)
"Not really." I say tiredly. My eyes start to feel heavy.
"Why not?" I hear Reggie say and the world goes black around me.
Reggie POV
"Why not?" I say and hear very quiet snores next to me. I look down and see Ro fast asleep. I lay him down and lay the blanket over him. I get up and pick up lil Rosie and bring her up the stairs. I walk down the hall to her little pink door. I open it and walk over and lay her down gently in her bed. I pull the comforter over her. She smiles in her sleep and cuddles into her pillow. I smile, kiss her head, and walk out of the room.
I walk downstairs to hear yelling and laughter. I see Remy and Remus covered in flour laughing there butts off.
"What happened?" I say with a chuckle.
"Remus got flour on me so I dumped the entire bag on him." Remy explains and smiles and pushes his sunglasses up his nose.
"Pancakes are almost done. Reggie can you set the table please?" Remus asks me. I nod and grab the plates out of the cabinet. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Hi Papa!" I hear Remus say. I turn around and see a very tired Papa standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"Good morning Papa!" I say and he grumbles a good morning back.
"Papa whats wrong?" I ask and he looks at me exhausted.
"Your brother and Remy snore like drunken freight trains." He says with a giggle and sits down on the couch next to Roman.
"Which brother?" I ask and Papa looks at me.
"Guessing by Romans exhausted state. I would assume Remus." Papa says with a smirk.
"Yeah I would assume so." I say with a giggle.
"Breakfasts done!!" Remus yells from the kitchen. Papa and I get up and notice Roman not move. I crouch down next to him and shake his shoulder a little bit.
He wakes up startled and sits up immediately and starts to look around.
"Roman, hey your ok. I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." I say with my hand still on his shoulder. He shakes his head and he brushes the hair out of his face.
"Mmh it's fine. Let's go eat." He says still half asleep." Roman says trying to stand up. I stand up and a sharp pain runs through my knee. I let out a small yelp. I feel tears prick my eyes.
"You ok?" Roman asks me with concern laced in his voice.
"U-uhm can you go get my kn-knee back p-please?" I ask and sit down as tears flood my eyes.
I hear Roman rush off and come back with a black knee brace.
"Do you want me to do it?" Roman asks and I shake my head yes because I'm in so much pain.
Roman carefully pulls the knee brace up so everything's aligned.
"Do you want it tight or loose?" He asks quietly.
"Tight. Tight please.."? I say and the tears start to pour down my face.
"K." He says and puts a soft ice pack under the brace and pulls it super tight.  The ice makes my knee go numb and I feel better.
"Better?" Roman asks quietly.
"Yeah thank you." I say and try and stand up. Roman grabs my arm and throws it over his shoulder.
"Use me as support ok?" He says and I nod. Roman helps me walk over to the table and helps me sit in my chair.
"Reggie what's wrong?" Papa asks
"I just tweaked my knee a little. I'm fine though. Don't worry." I say and a plate of chocolate chip Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes are put in front of me. I look up and Remus is going to grab more plates.
"Ree did you make these?" Papa asks and we all look at Remus. His face goes flushed.
"Umm y-yeah." He says embarrassed.
"There really good." Roman says while shoveling the pancake down his throat.
"Umm thanks. I worked at a kids restaurant part time and this was one of their best selling dishes so I cooked this at least 40 times a day." Remus explains while putting the others plates on the table.
"That's amazing." Papa says putting another pancake on his plate.
I hear little feet come down the stairs. I turn around and see a tired Rosie at the bottom.
"Hi Princess." I say and her head perks up.
"Hi." She says walking over to the table. Roman gets up and puts her in her booster seat.
"Thank you. What's for breakfast Papa?" Rosie asks
"Your brother made Mickey Mouse pancakes." Papa replies.
"How? Reggie can't even microwave chicken nuggets without setting them on fire somehow." Rosie says in a sassy remark. That made Roman and Remy loose there shit. Papa smirks and tries to stifle his laughter. I sigh and giggle a bit.
"Knock knock knock"

Hi I'm sorry that this took a while to get out. Love and appreciate all of you. ❤️
