Sunday morning
2:21am

"Wena..?" I suddenly wake up, when I feel a small hand tap my cheek.

I quickly sit up when I'm greeted by small blue eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?-" I release a small gasp," Did I not give you enough blankets?!" I lightly smack my head.

"No.. Ashwer is here for me," he slowly says, due to his lack of sleep.

I look at the doorway alerted, to see Asher leaning against the doorframe.

I quickly get up from my bed," What are you doing here?" I say coldly, protectively wrapping my arms around Kyle's small frame. I check my alarm clock on my night stand to see 2:24AM in bold white letters.

"To pick my little brother up," he says, as if it wasn't so late.

"And why is that? It's almost 2:30 in the morning," I say glaring at him.

"Uhh, hello? He's my little brother," he said annoyed.

"I don't care, leave!" I shriek out angrily, my arms tightening around Kyle.

"No! I'm taking my brother and that's final," he says, his tone authoritative.

"Uh, uh, uh! You left your little brother at home with your parents, for a girl!" I say, emphasising 'girl'.

His authoritative facade slowly fades away, "I lost track of time," regret laced in his tone.

"So what? Is a girl more important than Kyle?" I ask, shaking my head disapprovingly.

"Of course not," he says, running a hand through his hair.

"I think it's better if Kyle stays with me," my voice tired.

He let's out a defeated sigh," Me too," he whispers. He looks at Kyle with a thin smile," Will you be okay little man?" he softly asks Kyle.

"mhm," he hums half-asleep. His head occasionally drooped, causing him to open his eyes.

"Okay, Goodnight," he mutters, expecting me to respond - because Kyle's head was leaning onto my shoulder - but I choose to ignore him.

When he leaves the room, I lightly shake Kyle's shoulders," Hey, Kyle. Wake up. Don't you want to sleep in my comfy bed?"  I whisper.

He slowly opens his eyes," Huh??" He says looking around confused. I chuckle, lightly guiding Kyle into the blankets.

When he's cuddles up, I tuck him in then lightly kiss him on the forehead," Goodnight, Spiderman," His pyjamas are Spiderman printed, so might as well.

"Good night, mummy," he quietly murmurs, before closing his eyes.

Aww, poor Kyle misses his mum..

I slowly get in on the other side, silently turning off the lamp on my night-stand, with a small frown.
