I actually published this on Wattpad, but unfortunately I got locked out of my account and I'm trying to remember my password. I'm such a mess ;-;

Matthew woke up once again in cold sweat.

What was my dream about?

But before he could recall what his dream was about, he glanced at the clock on his nightstand.

4:59 a.m.

"What...was my dream about?" he asked himself quietly, blinking tears that fell on his covers.

What?

He felt his cheeks which were now stained with tears. The Canadian was confused, he didn't know why he was crying, he quickly wiped away the stray tears that fell from his eyes. He jumped slightly when his clock struck 5 a.m.

Then it hit him. An odd feeling of sadness hit Matthew square in the chest. He felt it tighten and grow heavy with sorrow, he felt his heart get torn apart. Tears flowed from his face as he gasped for air, sobbing and choking on his own tears. Matthew doesn't know why he would feel this way each time he woke up, which was always at 4:59 a.m., then the sadness would fill his chest, as if he was heartbroken.

He stumbled out of his room and into the kitchen, his eyes were blurred with tears, the glass that was in his hand was shaking as he poured water into the glass. His lips quivered as he drank, tears still flowing from his eyes.

"Mattie, bro?"

Matthew froze. He didn't know that he had woken up his brother with his sobbing. Alfred looked at his brother, the two stared at each other for a full minute. Alfred snapped out of his trance and went to his brother's side. Matthew broke down in his brother's arms, Alfred tried his best to comfort his brother. Matthew had depression, his brother knew that. So Alfred had to be patient around his brother and try to understand him, knowing that even a little thing like ignorance could trigger his depression, then maybe...God forbid, Matthew would start cutting himself again.

Alfred and Matthew stayed like that for what seemed like hours, the sun rose slowly until Matthew saw it through the window. "Alfie," he said, his brother made no movement. "Alfie..." he called once again, this time shaking his brother. "Oh...sorry, bro. I fell alseep." they stood up from the floor, Matthew looked around the kitchen. "Now that we're here," he said, " we might as well make breakfast."

The scent of pancakes filled the air, the birds chirped merrily outside like any other day. Francis went down the stairs, "Good morning, Papa." Matthew greeted, a smile was his reply. "Is dad still asleep?" he asked the man as he sat down on his chair at the dinner table. "Oui, he's still asleep. Oh, Matthew, mon cher you shouldn't have went through so much trouble making breakfast for moi." Francis laughed, "I helped too, y'know." Alfred said in the living room, his voice muffled because his mouth was stuffed with pancakes. He ate the last of his pancakes, "I'll go wake him!" he placed down his plate and dashed up the stairs.

"WAKE UP, ARTIE!"

"BLOODY HELL, ALFRED!"

The sound of cursing and laughing was heard upstairs. It was like this almost everyday, and everybody had lived accustomed to it. In fact, Matthew found it amusing that he lived with three people that he was not related to, but trusted them like family.

Alfred ran downstairs, a pillow was thrown at him. "Dude, c'mon stop it!" Alfred laughed as Arthur repeatedly beat him with a pillow. "CAN'T YOU WAKE ME UP IN ANOTHER WAY? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SHOUT INTO MY EAR, YOU WANKER!" Alfred and Arthur continued their (one-sided) fight in the living room, with Arthur cursing and Alfred laughing. "Should we call them off?" Matthew asked Francis in a bored tone, "Non, they'll come out of it eventually." he replied nonchalantly, Matthew shrugged and ate his pancakes.

His mornings were the opposite of normal, and Matthew loved it that way.

WHOOP. The prologue sucks, I know. Ahaha, made a small FACE family action up there, for some reason, my mornings on a weekday would be like what I wrote up there. Well, only the part where I shout into someone's (my sister's) ear to wake her up. Then she'd beat the sh*t out of me...sometimes.

Anyways, I hope you guys liked what I did up there!

Ciao~
