little love

51

"sweetheart, your eyes are closed."

"no, 'hey not."

"then how many fingers am i holding up?"

"f'ee."

"no."

"fowah."

"no. why dont you open your eyes and look?"

calum just whines, and cracks one eye open. 

"daddy isn't holding up any fingers. you've been tricked!" ashton says with a smile, making calum whine louder and shoves his face into ashtons neck. calum was really tired, but he didnt want to admit it since he just wanted to stay up and cuddle his daddy.

they both were happy and content, and calum was happy that he let himself fall. if he was big at the moment, he wouldn't say that out loud, but he really needed to be little.

"come on, you're tired. let's go to bed, love."

"but, dada, wanna uddewl!" calum says with a whine, tightening his grip on ashton.

"we're gonna cuddle in bed, bub, i promise. but we don't wanna fall asleep on the couch, do we? the bed is much bigger so we have more room, and there's blankets so we can be extra warm."

"hmm...otay, dada."

ashton pats calums bum softly, and after a couple pats calum gets up slowly. ashton is quick to follow suit, and he picks calum up when calum starts to walk away which makes the little squeal.

"you want a bottle before you go to bed, my love?" ashton asks, one hand under calums bum while he gently moves some of calums curls away from his eyes. calum thinks for a second - all he needs is ashtons cuddles, and more bum pats, and he was all set.

a bottle sounded good too, so calum nods sleepily then lays his head down on ashtons shoulder.

"alright. stay with daddy, okay?" ashton asks, using his free hand to make calum a bottle. since he's done this hundreds of times with one hand, its easy, and quick so he can get them to bed sooner.

once that's done, he walks them up to bed, and then sets the bottle on the nightstand and calum on the bed. he changes calum into a pair of boxers and a hoodie, then he strips himself down to his boxers.

"alright, under the covers we go," ashton says, climbing into bed. calum climbs in next to him, and then curls up against ashtons side, waiting for his bottle.

"such a good boy," ashton says softly, wrapping his arm around calums neck. he grabs the bottle in his other hand, and then holds the nipple of the bottle to calums lips. the little starts eagerly drinking the warm liquid with his eyes closed.

ashton slowly rocks them, and hums softly, which also makes calum more sleepy.

by the time calum is finished with his bottle, he's sleepy, but he needs something else. so after ashton sets the empty bottle back down on the nightstand, calum moves himself so his chest is plastered to ashtons chest (calum loved being held like that, just like a newborn) and then lays his head down on ashtons shoulder.

"daddys got you, love."

ashton keeps his lips pressed lazily to the side of calums head as he starts to pat calums bum, and his back. within minutes calum is fast asleep, so ashton lays him down, lays down next to him, and lets himself fall into a deep slumber.

ashton wakes up to quiet humming, and someone playing with his hair.

"daaaaaddy," calum sings softly, running his fingers through ashtons hair, "so pweeeety, daaaaddy so pweeeetty."

ashton can't help but chuckle, and open his eyes, "well good morning to you, my pretty boy."

calum gasps, "no, dada pwetty!"

"baby is also pretty."

"mmm, i hungwy dada no pwetty."

"you are always pretty, my love," ashton whispers, laying his hand down on calums cheek. he slowly runs his thumb over calums cheek bone, making calum blush and look away.

"now, how about we go make some pancakes for that hungry tummy of yours!" ashton says excitedly, while starting to tickle calums stomach, making calum laugh loudly.

"o-otay! haha dada i-i have to p-peepee!" calum laughs, squirming away from ashtons fingers.

"okay, alright, i'll stop," ashton says, and as soon as he stops calum is scrambling up and running to the bathroom.

ashton giggles softly, and gets out of bed. he's got some chocolate chip pancakes he's gotta make.
