Whole Again - poly!feral boys (DreamSMP)

forty - six

was planning to end book at fifty, but i'm changing how i want to end the book, so there will be more :)

"Linc, please. You can play with your toys after your nap.", I try to reason with the boy, but he just shakes his head.

"Play now.", he crosses his arms.

"No. After nap.", Lincoln argues, picking up a block again.

"No. We nap first.", I cross my arms to mirror him.

"What's going on?", Karl pops his head into the room.

"Somebody doesn't want to take a nap.", I mumble, not looking away from Lincoln.

Karl smiles knowingly.

Lincoln is normally a super chill, quiet kid, but his biggest fights seem to happen when he has to go down for a nap.

"I have an idea, buddy.", Karl kneels down in front of Lincoln.

Linc just looks up at him, obviously interested.

"Follow me.", Karl cheers, practically skipping out of the room.

Lincoln follows him, doing the cutest little run after him.

"Sapnap, come here!", Karl hollers up the stairs.

Sap hurries down to us in no time, and we all head outside.

"Okay. We're gonna play tag.", Karl grins.

"Tag?", Linc perks up.

"Go! Sapnap is it!", Karl immediately grabs Linc's hand, pulling him away from the other man.

Sapnap lightly jogs after the pair of them, purposely keeping quite a bit of distance between him and the pair.

He eventually speeds up enough to catch Karl, but they both purposely continue not tagging Linc.

It only takes a good ten minutes before Linc is walking towards me with his arms out.

"Nap.", he mumbles as I pick him up.

"You want a nap?", I try to hide how excited I am.

He nods, his body almost limp as he relaxes against me.

I carry him to his little room we've made up for him, carefully setting him down onto the bed.

Lincoln's already asleep by the time I finish tucking him in.

When I descend the stairs, I see Karl and Sapnap leaning against each other on the couch.

"Thank you, boys.", I give them each a kiss, sitting next to Karl on his other side.

He wraps an arm around me, his other situated around Sap.

"Did he fall asleep okay?', Karl asks curiously.

"Mhmm.", I hum, leaning against his shoulder.

"Finn!", I hear a familiar British accent yelling at me.

"What?", I yell back at George.

Karl covers his ears as a joke, Sapnap shooting me a look for yelling.

"Phone!", he yells back.

I pat my pants, realizing I don't have my phone on me.

Must've left it on my desk this morning.

I enter our shared office, quickly thanking George for letting me know.

It's a missed call from Archer by the time I pick up my phone.
