As the three siblings were just soundly sleeping, Phineas was starting to shake in his sleep as he was remembering instead of sleeping.

Flashback

It was one of those warm sunny and clear skies day in the tri-state area and Phineas Flynn was just sitting in the car with his father as they were just driving around in his nicely cleaned truck and was just waiting for his big sister Candace and his mommy to come back from their dentist opintment. It truly was a peaceful ride for the young boy until David had stopped the car in the back ofvthe parking lot and had turned to his right to face his baby boy for a moment before unbuckling Phineas's seat belt and pullung his small son on to his awaiting lap.

"hey Phineas, buddy?" David had asked his little son as he began to bounce him on one of his knees and had felt his heqrt swell up with joy as he saw his son began to giggle and smile as he was being bounced by his father.

"yes daddy!"

"you know daddy loves you a whole lot right?"

Phineas had nodded happily as he began to talk again.

"of course I do daddy, and I love daddy a whole lot too!"

David had flashed his son a warm and loving smile as he had than placed one of his hands on his son's head and had stared rubbing his head and had started talking again.

"that's really good sweetie. You also know that daddy wouldn't do something bad to you on purpose right?"

"yup!"

"good, because daddy NEEDS you to promise me something VERY important, can you do that for daddy?" David had asked but this had held a darker sense inside of his innocent little red head child, who this time had stopped giggling and had bow looked up at his father with a serious expression.

"okay daddy, what do I have to promise?"

"Daddy needs you to promise him that you wouldn't tell mommy about the naked man and naked woman you found last week in the back of daddy's car or in mommy and daddy's bed, okay?" David had asked as his hand had began to travle down Phineas's back.

Phineas had looked at his daddy in puzzlement, why did he daddy want him to keep a secret like that again, the last time he had did that, it was a different woman but she was coming out his mommy and daddy's bedroom and she was naked, crying and bleeding, and the time before that it was a kid older than him and he had that red stuff that his big sister called blood, coming out of his head.

Phineas, who was a little sad to have to keep another secret from both his mommy and big sister had just quietly looked up at his father and nodded a shot still noticable yes, which had only caused his father to kiss his nose and smile as he began to hug him even tighter than he already did.

"thank you baby boy, daddy always knows he can count on you~"

(DAVID YOU GROSS FUCKER)

"o-of course daddy-" Phineas was about to finish saying before he was interrupted by the sound of a platypus chattering his teeth

"Perry?!"

Flashback ends

Phineas had instantly woke up from his slumber and had began to look around until he had looked to his left and to his surprise and complete joy, he had saw his pet platypus Perry on Candace's stomach and had instantly felt a huge wave of relief wash over him as it did.

to him its nice to just wake up and hear the soft sounds of Perry's soft purrs of sleep but it did bother him though to hear the soft but broken cries coming form his mother's that are just coming from down the hallway and into his parent's bedroom.

that one is a noise he wished he didn't wake up too anymore.

He had finally reached for Perry, who had awoken quickly the minute Phineas had placed one of his small, soft hand's on his head and had started to smile a bit bigger as Perry had let out a more happy purr at the soft and loving contact. There was absolutely no denying it, Perry was just getting old on them.

He would live longer yes, Phineas and his brother had added a few years of life onto his lifespan for that purpose only sovthat he could still be with them as they grew up, but he really was getting older as the years had went by.

lucky for them that he was no longer disappearing to lord knows where and coming back later in the day, he had just slept, ate, and played a bit with all three of them when had the chance. When the boys would ever build anything new or was just sittingvin the living room or their bedroom, he would just sleep under the tree and newt to them, along with eating whatever their mom and dad had made for him to eat while they had worked on making food.

but even though he was getting old on them, he still had his spirit though, and that alone had truly made Phineas happy.

Perry had gently leaped off of the still sleeping Candace and had padded up to Phineas and made himself comfortable against his boy's lap, as he had started to happily purr again.

Phineas had laught lightly and had gave the semi-aquatic mammal a very lightly but still feelable strok to his fur and continued to do it while he was thinking of the memory he just remembered. Perry purred lightly, yawning and closing his eyes.

"What am I going to do boy? just what am I going to do...?" Phineas whispered to his still awake platypus, tears leaking into his eyes and on to his cheeks as he was remembering all those times as father had made him promise do not tell his mother or anyone else about what he was doing, or the people that was always having the blood on them whenever he found them.

it all had actually took Phineas a long time to find out that his mom wasn't the only one whose dad was hurting, but he had also found out what he was doing when he had the day off and whenever his mom and sister wasn't home.

Phineas had let out a soft but still audible snort as he had remembered how he had reacted when he had found out shortly after 2 years that his dad had not only been cheating on his mom but he had also found out that the people he kept seeing in places like the car or in his father's trunk we're actually dead people that his father was disposing of, but because he was so young and naive back then he didn't know what was even wrong with them all he knew was they weren't moving and blood was coming out of their parts that either where his father had stabbed them or shot them.

The one thing Phineas had to applaud David for was how he was able to trick everyone even Phineas's own mother and sister that he was just an innocent man that was just abusive asshole towards his wife, no one would never expect the darker secret that Phineas had finally put together after the two years of David being in jail like Phineas had did.

and as cruel as it sounds even after all of these years but for his sake, he hopes that they never do.

This thought alone had instanly gave Phineas a huge sense of fear due to the fact that not only was David is more capable of murdering somebody and getting away with it if he had REALLY wanted to, but it was that fact that his motives and reason for doing all of this was never brought into question or had ever found an answer to the behavior at all and that was why it had bothered him ever so much.

David had a reason and modivation behind all of his hideous acting towards people... but what was it.

Phineas has yet to this exact day to even be will to understand why David had even stopped killing after he was a fredd man when he had no problem with doing it when Phineas and Candace was both younger, he knew he shouldn't concern himself with any of this unknown information but what had egged him was the thoughts of what was stopping David right now from killing Linda, Lawrence, Vivian, Candace and Ferb right now?!

was it both his father, his brother that had deterred him from taking action or was it the fact that Linda will and Candace will now have no hesitation to kicking them out or beating him down. but to Phineas, whatever that case or reason being for his current behavior, he had just hopes that there is something more than what he thinks of right now, all he knows is that if David wanted to kill them he would have done it by now but something or someone is holding him back.

but the question is... what or who was it?

Phineas had continued to think on that while he was forced to hear his mother's silent, broken cries, and his dads soothing voice as he whispered to her that they were going to be alright.

But just like he could hear everything else around him, he could hear the clicking sound of the door to his parent's room open and close in the matter of the few seconds he's been up and had decided to turn his attention to the ceiling and stare at it, while one of his hands had still rested on Perry's fur as he was still petting him.

He had tried to shut his eyes in hopes of falling back to sleep, but it truly was in vain to try and go right back to sleep now after the thoughts and theories he had just come up with. He had then decided to just sat up again on the bed and was now staring at the clock across the room.

He had let out a sigh of relief to see that it was only 5:17am.

He haf then looked over at both Ferb and Candace, who was both sleeping soundly and had the looks of pure angels. He had also looked over to his sister and had gently moved the long strands of beautiful orange hair out of her face and had placed his share of the blankets on her, and had then he looked over to Ferb and had felt his face go hot in the process.

Phineas had remembered how he had felt yesterday, how having Ferb kiss him like that jad felt soooooo good to him, how it had made his insides bubble up in a good way as it had felt normal to have him call Phineas darling, baby, sweetie, or honestly anything like that, but what had REALLY made him feel off was that he felt okay with all of that, it was as if that was what he wanted.

But alas, he knew that it was all wrong. He knew he wasn't supposed to like Ferb like that at all, and he knew he had never before had he looked at any boy like he had lookes at Ferb yesterday. Damn it! Why did Ferb do that to him? Why did Ferb have to make him feel all so confused, so conflicted, so aroused and yet so nervous? He had felt so frustrated at his emotions as they were hitting him all at once and for once had wished that he could've just been oblivious towards hsi own feeling... but life wasn't that nice to him now was it?!

"Phineas... Phineas are you okay...? What are you doing up so early?"

Phineas turned, looking at Ferb and had felt his heart stop. Ferb was half-asleep, but his eyes were directly on him, Phineas had tried to look away but Ferb's gaze was hard to look away from, especially when he wanted answers.

"I... Er, yeah, well I uh. I'm okay I promise, I'm just having some sleeping problems and what not, nothing too troubling is wrong." Phineas had said as he then let out a nervous laugh as you try to break the intense eye contact with his still tried step-brother who was just looking at him.

"How's your back, head, and legs feeling today?" Ferb had asked as he had fianlly broke the intense eye contact.

"o-oh that! w-w-w-well, their actually feeling a lot better today really, the pain has went away and all, th-th-thank you for asking."

Him and Ferb had just sat there and stared at each other for sometime, but it wasn't awkward for either of then though, Phineas could tell Ferb was still very tired.

"Come here Phinny, lets get you back to sleep." Ferb had said to the now blushing Phineas as he was now laying back down and making room on his side of the bed for Phineas. Phineas had just gently picked up Perry and had slowly crawled over to Ferb's side.

Once he had made it to his said destination he had set Perry on his own personal bed and had gently patted his head before slowly getting under the covers next to a smiling Ferb.

He had started to slowly and uncertainly pressing himself against Ferb's chest and before he knew it he was cuddling up against a smiling like crazy Ferb.

Ferb had gently wrapped both of his muscular arms around him and had pulled Phineas into a strong but loving hug. He had then rested his chin on Phineas's head and had started to smell Phineas head while he had began to try and control himself.

Phineas had felt his heart speed faster than it has been as he felt Ferb's hot body heat soak into his own cold body and had started to feel himself smile. He couldn't deny that he had truly enjoyed having Ferb here with him, it made him feel secure and safe.

something he don't have or feel as of late.

He had started to quietly inhale the scent of Ferb's deodorant and the manly soap he uses in the shower and so on. Once he was truly feeling happy he, himself had started to smile even bigger than he had been. He had just wished thay he could stay like this forever and NEVER let go of Ferb. He had then felt Ferb gently rubbing his back and had strated to blush at the physical contact.

"Night Ferb." Phineas had yawned as he began to fall alseep.

"Good night Phineas. Sweet dreams."

Ferb had quietly but sweetly said to his now red as a tomato brother. Phineas has felt Ferb's breathing gently subside itself into a steady rhythm of relaxation and sleep, his arms were slowly going limp, but still hooked them around Phineas waist and back.

Phineas had just smiled to himself at this point and had started to fall back to sleep. For the first time that night, he felt tired. He had then fallen fast asleep, with Ferb's heartbeat and a gentle lullaby for him to go to sleep with.

... completely forgetting what his father had done to all those innocent people in the past... That and his now awake and fangirling sister was now having a massive nosebleed and was now taking pictures on her new Samsung phone and sending them to Stacy.
