Work Text:

Whenever Caleb reads to Philip at night, he would sometimes doze off right in the middle of a page.

Being busy with chores along with other physical responsibilities can really tire out the eldest.

Philip didn't want to wake up Caleb, yet the youngest had no patience to wait for morning to finish the story.

He was too intrigued with the biblical tale and wanted to know what happens next right then and there.

Did Jesus really walk on water?

Getting up from his sleeping place, Philip takes the Bible from his brother's lap before sitting down as he tries to finish the story on his own.

Reading out loud to himself, it almost appeared as though he were the one reading a bedtime story to Caleb.
