Sebastian's POV:

Feeling Noah wiggle around for the tenth time in the last few minutes I decide on whether or not I should get up now. Noah stilled suddenly, probably feeling me move. Yawning, I say "it's okay I'm awake too" I say, for once actually feeling awake since I fell asleep early, reading a book on astronomy. "Y-you w-wake?" Noah asks me. "Yea you goof I just said so" I say laughing, "do you want to go find Nick with me? I want to ask him to make pancakes this morning." I finish saying as I get up and stretch. Noah nods and I help him off the bed, heading to Nicks room.

*Meanwhile in Hunters room*

Hunters POV:

Even on a king bed, Reid is asleep literally glued to me. It always amazes me how he can be wrapped in a blanket and yet still seek the warmth from a cuddle. I know once I get up, Reid will wake up as well, so I just scroll on my phone for a bit. He was a little restless last night so I want him to get a bit more sleep. That on top of having an off day yesterday, I've really got to talk to him and find out what's bothering him. Finding Noah and bringing him home was a huge change and I think that might be part of it, but not because he's upset about it, we can all see the excitement in his eyes every time he's with Noah. Something is bothering him though, I've seen it coming for almost two week now, but he usually comes to me about it before whatever it is gets worse. I'll take him grocery shopping with me, we can stop in the park for a little to see some locals play live music, they do it every Sunday. I text Nick and Atlas my plans to take Reid out, thankfully they're both awake already in their rooms, and agree, also having noticed Reid behaviours and emotions especially this week.

Reid's POV:

Not fully awake yet, I can feel the heat coming from Hunter, and I try to move closer to the warmth, anemic problems. I feel him wrap his arm around me and I start to fall back asleep. When I wake up again I know Hunters awake already and only staying in bed so I don't wake up as well, but it's Sunday I know he's probably got some things to do, errands to run. I don't really want him to go so maybe I'll see if I can go with him. I get up slowly, and he tells me I can sleep a little longer. "Don't you have to do some things in your office though?" I ask him. He says it can wait, but I just ask if I can lay on the couch in there while he looks through his emails. He agrees and goes to the washroom while I lay in bed still. When he comes out we head up to his office and I fall asleep as soon as my body hits the couch.

*meanwhile in Nicholas room*

Nicholas POV:

Stretching to wake up, I grab my phone and scroll through it for a bit. Before I can get up my door slowly opens and I roll my eyes because I just know it's Sebastian. He does this every Sunday, right on time he tip toes into my room crouching down in front of me. Today though, I can hear a second set of tiny footsteps, Noah. "W-wake N-nicky?" Noah asks even quieter than his normal whisper volume. I whisper back that I'm awake, and Noah cheers, and starts telling me that Sebastian wants pancakes. Seb looks at me innocently as if he doesn't do this weekly. "And what kind of pancakes should I make today? Chocolate chip, blueberry, cinnamon swirl? We can do anything" I ask them. "P-purple!" "Banana chocolate chip" Noah and Sebastian say at the same time. I guess we're making purple banana chocolate chip pancakes today. Hunter texts Atlas and I saying he's gonna take Reid out with him today, and we both agree it's a good idea. When Reid gets really stressed or upset about things, he starts to have these off days where he just feels down or tired or sometimes just really clingy to Hunter. We've all noticed it happening this week especially, but I think Noah coming home was the thing that overwhelmed him and that pushed him over the edge. I send Sebastian off to go get ready and take Noah to the washroom. When we're ready we head down to the kitchen and see that Sebastian's got everything ready for us to make pancakes, and Atlas and Alex are drinking a breakfast smoothie, gross.

*meanwhile in Atlas room*

Atlas POV:

Stepping out of the shower after my morning swim I look in the mirror and decide I should get a haircut, sighing as I see my blond hair is still tinted purple. I see a text from Hunter and hope Reid isn't awake yet, Hunter told us last night he asked to sleep in his room. As I get dressed I wonder what kind of pancakes Sebastian asked Nick for today. I head to the basement to find Alex, knowing that Spencer is probably still knocked out and will be until breakfast is ready. Since we're not doing anything today we may even let him sleep in until 11.

*'meanwhile in the basement*

Alexander's POV:

*insert boxers workout lmao* Finished with my morning workout I shower real quick and head upstairs to make a breakfast smoothie before Nick makes pancakes. I run into Atlas and he asks if I've already made my smoothie yet, shaking my head we go to the kitchen to make the smoothie. When it's done, Seb comes down and grabs everything for the pancakes. Bananas, chocolate chips, and.... Purple food colouring? I'm not even gonna ask, that was probably Noah's input anyways.

Noah's POV:

Pancakes pancakes pancakes, it doesn't sound like a real word, but I hope they're yummy. (LMAO SORRY I can't remember if I had them eat pancakes or waffles the day before so I'm just gonna say he's never had pancakes before, if he did have them yesterday pretend he had waffles 😂😂) Nicky says we can make them purple! When we go to the kitchen we see Atty, Lex and Sebby! I go give them all a hug, but Lex only pats my head. He's drinking something green. I stand in front of him watching him drink it and when he looks at me I look away really fast, Lex is kind of scary. "Wanna try it?" He holds the green drink in front of me. "N-noah h-have s-some?" He nods and holds it for me. It's so yucky I don't want to eat it anymore and I turn away from the cup. I close my eyes hoping Lex isn't angry I moved away. I hear him  laughing so I look at him. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to see the face you'd make when you tried it" he tells me still laughing. I frown "y-yucky n-no like" I tell him.

"Alex did you seriously just give him a sip of your smoothie? Your smoothies tastes disgusting! Here Noah taste mine, it's better." Atty says holding his cup for me. I don't wanna drink more yucky green, but Attys is pink. I take a small sip, and it tastes so so so yummy. "L-like p-pink n-no he-green" I tell them. "See mine is better, it's strawberry, Alex only drinks yucky ones right?" Atty says and I nod. "You're really good at remembering your colours Noah" Nicky tells me. I nod again, telling him the rainbow song mommy used to sing with me! "R-red a-and yell-ow and p-pink a-and gr-green p-purple and or-or-ange and blue! S-sing r-rainbow s-sing r-rain-bow too!"

"Wow that was really good Noah" -Sebastian
"Good job!" -Nicholas
"Why is he singing....?" -Alexander
"Woah you know the rainbow song?!" -Atlas

Everyone says while clapping, I clap too, really lightly though, m'not allowed to clap too loud. Atty sits down at the table with me and we count all the way to 10! When we get to 10, Nicky flips the pancake in the air! We keep counting until he finishes all the pancakes, and calls Hunter and Reid to come eat.


Long chapter lol, I couldn't decide where to end it so it ends at breakfast! Also Spencer is still asleep that's why he's not at breakfast. Next chapter Hunter take Reid out, and Noah is left at home with Nicholas, Alexander and Spencer, while Atlas takes Sebastian wth him while he gets a haircut. You guys are finally going to get some Noah and Lex bonding and Noah and Spencer too! Hope you all liked this one!
