     Quick AN: the interactions among you and the boys in this book are completely natural. No pedophilia here, just dads expressing their love to their kid and the kid doing the same. Thank you and enjoy the chapter!

°°°

     You slowly opened your eyes to see the light shining through the blinds of the window. A window that wasn't yours. You fully opened your eyes and yawned before turning over and hiding your face in Tord's chest.

     This was actually quite normal for you to wake up to most of the time since you would always go to Tord for comfort during attacks or nightmares. You had been very proud to learn that they had been occuring less frequently since you had been accepted into the boy's home and had become their kid.

     However, as proud as you were about your accomplishment, you had missed sleeping with Tord. It felt nice to be cradled by someone after several years of living on the street. Tord still slept soundly and you couldn't help but giggle at his squeaky snores. You managed to wriggle your arm free from it's prison of bodies and used your finger to gently poke at Tord's cheek.

     He didn't stir. With a small frown, you tried again. Still nothing. A sudden idea came to your mind and you snickered as you freed your other hand. Using them both, you raised Tord's cheeks to make it look like he was smiling.

     You bit your lip to prevent from laughing and kept messing around with his face. You examined his canine teeth, made him frown, smirk, smile, etc. Suddenly, Tord started laughing and you yelped, jumping backwards in surprise. Tord was clutching his stomach and laughing so hard tears rolled down his cheeks. You felt yourself laughing with him as his laugh was contagious.

     "W-Why-Hahahahahaha-are w-Hahaha-we laughingheheheheh!" You choked out. Tord looked at you and just shook his head in response. Once he got control of himself he wrapped his arms around you and brought you close to him to place a soft kiss on your forehead.

      "You're adorable kid! I love it!" Tord stated as you blushed in embarrassment and giddiness. You finally calmed down and just leaned against Tord as he ran a hand through your hair.

     "Um, I was wondering, why did you wake up laughing?" You asked curiously. Tord just chuckled. "Well, it's kinda hard to sleep when someone's poking your face. It's even harder to not laugh when they start making faces with your face." Tord grinned with a fanged smile. You blushed in embarrassment and chuckled nervously.

     "I, uh, didn't know you were awake." You said sheepishly. Tord simply smiled at you and ruffled your hair.

     "What can I say, I'm a great actor! Now go on downstairs so I can change. Also, I'm certain someone's already made breakfast by now." Tord said. You perked up at the thought of breakfast and went flying out the door leaving behind Tord. For some reason, he couldn't wipe the smile he woke up with off his face and he realized he quite liked it.

     You made it to the kitchen and smiled at Matt who stood in front of the oven wearing an 'i <3 M@' apron. You snuck up behind him before wrapping your arms around him. He jumped a bit in fright but couldn't help but smile when you laughed at his reaction. He twisted around in your hold and hugged you back.

     "Hey darling, how are you this fine morning?" Matt asked you. You let go of him and stepped back to look at him.

     "I feel great actually! I had so much fun yesterday! Tord and I shot so many people!" You cheered. Matt's smile dropped and you heard something crash to the floor behind you.

     You and Matt both looked to the doorway to see Edd standing there, a cola can leaking out on the floor where it had fallen from his grip. He stared at you, mouth and eyes wide open.

     "Tord and you went out shooting people!?" Edd practically screamed the question. You gave him a confused look before you realized what you said. At this point you collapsed to the floor laughing. You landed on your back clutching your stomach and kicking your feet in the air.

      "O-Oh my g-heheh-gosh!" You cackled. "I-Hahahaha-d-didn't mean it l-hahahaha-like that!" You managed to control yourself and sat up on the floor, your body still shook with giggles though.

     "We went to lazer tag. That's where we shot people." You explained. Matt and Edd, who had been staring at you with worry, suddenly found themselves smiling and chuckling at the misunderstanding. Suddenly, the oven timer went off and Matt turned his attention to the food.

     Edd helped you up off of the floor and you helped him clean up the spilled cola. All the while, you and the boys couldn't wipe the smiles off of your faces and the pun war you had started with Edd wasn't helping the case.

     "Wow, it seems awfully cheery down here. What did I miss?" You turned your attention to see Tom sleepily walk into the kitchen before crashing down into a chair.

     "Oh, we're having a pun war and Edd and Matt thought Tord and I shot people yesterday." You explained with a big smile on your face.

      Tom propped his elbow on the table and held his head up with his hand, a small smile appearing on his face.

     "Heh, should've known the commie would teach you how to murder people." Tom said softly. A laugh was heard coming from the doorway and Tord walked in.

     "Well, they have to learn how to defend themselves don't they?" Tord joked as he sat beside Tom. Tom simply 'rolled his eyes' and laughed.

     "Yes, they do need to learn self defense but not how to kill." Tom said. This continued on for a bit, the two frenemies actually smiling at each other and talking.

     They stopped and looked around the room since it grew quiet and noticed you smiling from ear to ear, Edd staring open mouthed and starry eyed, and Matt staring shocked and amazed. The two boys glanced at each other in confusion before giving the same look to the others.

     "What?" They asked simultaneously.

     "You both are getting along." Edd squealed. Tom and Tord both looked at each other again. Tord smirked and Tom closed his eyes and shook his head with a chuckle.

     "Huh, I guess we are. It feels...nice actually." Tom said. Tord simply agreed. You smiled feeling like you accomplished something and the light from the window shone into the room, illuminating the smiling and dysfunctional family inside.

     Matt passed out muffins, eggs, and bacon as everyone chatted over breakfast. You and Edd continued the pun war, Tom adding his own pun in every now and then. Matt laughed so hard over one that milk came out of his nose and everyone laughed as he screamed about his ruined shirt and face. The smiles and cheer from the morning lasted well into the day and nothing seemed to take it away.
