"No, Si, don't go!" Harry cried, running over to the blonde boy as he was trying to leave to go to the store. He jumped at Simon and Simon had just barely caught him.
"Why, Bub? I'm just going to the store, I'll be back soon. Joshy and JJ are here, why don't you go play with them?" Simon told him.
"No! I wanna stay with all fee of 'ou!" Harry told him, burying his face into Simon's neck.
"But Hazza, I need to go to the store to buy some things. If you're good maybe I'll buy you ice cream or something!" Simon tried to persuade the boy. Harry wasn't having any of it, he shook his head no and clung to simon.
Simon carried him into the living room. "Do you lads know why he doesn't want me to leave?"
JJ shook his head no and Josh just shrugged. "Boggy, why don't you come play with JJ and I while Si goes to the store?" Josh asked him.
"wan' pway wif all of you, p'ease." Harry told him, reaching his arms out for the older boy.
Josh took him in his arms and played with his soft hair. Harry rested then his head on Josh's shoulder and Simon took this as his chance to sneak out to the shops.
When Simon left, Josh carried Harry over to the couch and sat down. He expected Harry to move to sit beside him but, he didn't even take his head from his shoulder. "Haz, are you feeling alright?"
"Mm-hm." Harry mumbled sadly.
"Why are you being so clingy, Bog?" Josh asked, genuinely concerned that something was wrong with the boy. Harry sometimes had trouble communicating his problems so the boys always had to ask when he was acting strange just to make sure they weren't missing a big thing that was really affecting Harry, mentally or physically.
"I wuv you guys." Was Harry's response. Josh heard JJ coo excitedly from across the room.
"Aww, we love you too Boggy. I know the other boys are missing you and can't wait to see you" Josh told him.
Josh had started to play with the boys hair again and it was clear that he definitely wasn't going to be moving anytime soon. Harry eventually fell into a peaceful sleep and Josh just let him stay in his arms for a while.
Harry woke up about an hour later and felt that his pull up was wet. He started squirming and whining on Josh's lap.
"Are you okay, Boggy?" Josh asked, even though he was pretty sure he already knew what was wrong, he just didn't want to embarrass the boy.
"M'wet, 'oshy." Harry mumbled before patting his bum.
"Should we go and get you changed then?" Josh whispered in his ear even though he knew JJ wouldn't care but Harry would. Harry nodded.
Josh carefully picked the boy up on his hip and then set him back on the ground and Harry almost screamed when this happened. "Whoa, okay. What's going on?" Josh asked concerned.
"I wan' you ta' cawwy me." Harry told him simply.
Josh chuckled and then sighed and picked him up. Harry's baby talk was very noticeable today but he figure he was just tired.
The pair went to Harry's room to change his pull up. Josh slid his pants down and then took off the full pull up and threw it out. He wiped the boy down and spread a bit of rash cream and baby powder on him and then turned to leave to go get a new pull up. When Harry noticed the man leaving he yelled, "Joshy, don't leave me!"
"Bog, I'm just going to get you a new pull up and then I'll be back." Josh told him.
"No, stay pwease." Harry whined.
"You need a new pull up though Haz." He sighed. Harry just shook his head. Josh quickly pulled out his phone and texted JJ asking if he would bring him a pull up for Harry and telling him he thought there was something going on with the boy.
JJ brought a pull up and Josh thanked him. He finished getting Harry changed and got a text from Simon.
Simon 👁️👄👁️- I had to make a few more stops so I'll be about another hour or so still.
Josh texted him a quick response and then picked up Harry from the changing table.
"can I 'ave a dummy, pwease?" Harry asked softly.
"Of course, Baby." Josh grabbed Harry's favourite Dummy and handed it to the small boy who slipped it in his mouth.
They went downstairs and JJ suggested they watch a movie together whilst they waited for simon to come back.
"Yay, Disney mwoive!" Harry cheered.
"How about I go make some popcorn while you pick a movie." JJ suggested before getting up to leave.
"No! Don't leave J!" Harry cried.
"I'll be right back, Bubby." JJ told him, shooting Josh a worried glance. "Do you want to come help me?"
Harry slowly nodded. "Joshy come too?" He asked.
JJ looked at Josh who shrugged and nodded. So, all three boys went to the kitchen and made popcorn and then went back to the living room to pick a movie. Out of nowhere, Harry realised that Simon was gone.
"Where Si go?" He asked.
"He went to the store bog." JJ told him.
"When he comin' back?" Harry asked.
"Soon Bubs. He had a couple more errands to run." Josh told him.
"No, I wan' Si hwere now!" Harry cried.
"He'll be back soon, Boggy." Josh told him.
" Bu' I wan' him back now, Josh!" Harry told him, tears filling his eyes, threatening to spill.
"Boggy, what's going on with you today?" JJ asked him.
Harry didn't answer, he just cried into Josh's shoulder whimpering "Simon, wan' Si." Josh and JJ exchanged worried looks.
~~~~~~~
The reason Harry was being so clingy was because he had a bad dream last night that brought back a lot of memories from his childhood and they weren't good memories at all. He kept thinking about the times his daddy had hurt him and his mummy. He kept thinking about the times his mummy had left him to go to work and he would be alone with his scary daddy and his daddy would yell at him and hit him, but his mummy left every day. The reason she left was that she didn't realize her, now ex, husband had been hitting her baby but Harry didn't know that. When his mum found out, she left her husband immediately and got Harry therapy and tried to help him recover but, by that point he was never going to be okay again. That was part of the reason he was very under developed.
Harry had a rough childhood, growing up. First, his sister Rosie left them and she would never come back and then his mummy started leaving him with his daddy but she did come back. Then, he didn't see his daddy again and then, his mummy met a new person. He became his new daddy but then, he left them too making him and his mummy very upset. So many people had left Harry and he was afraid the boys were going to leave him too.

Harry cried and cried until he eventually fell asleep again. Simon came home and Harry was still asleep.
"We need to talk." Josh whispered when Simon walked in.
He gently layed Harry down on the couch and all three boys went to the kitchen.
"What's going on with him today? We can't go anywhere without him crying or something." Josh told them.
"I don't know. I'm worried about him." JJ said.
"He wouldn't even let me put him down earlier." Josh mentioned.
"Somethings going on. We need to talk to him when he wakes up." Simon said. Then, as if on cue, crying was heard from the living room. All three boys ran in to see what was going on.
"Hey, hey, hey. Shh, Baby, why the tears?" Simon held Harry in his arms and rocked him gently.
"Y-you we-re go-gone!" Harry wailed.
"Shh, it's okay Bubba." JJ told him, sitting down and rubbing his back.
"'ou weft me!" Harry cried, gripping Josh's hand tightly, although it wasn't that tight as Harry didn't have the strength.
"Haz, we didn't leave you baby." Josh said gently.
"Y-yes 'ou did!" Harry said. "Sc-scawy!" He cried.
All the boys felt bad that the boy was this upset because of them. "We're so sorry, Bog. We thought you were asleep." JJ told him.
Harry climbed into Josh' s lap and stuck his thumb in his mouth. None of the boys had the heart to tell him not to do it because it seemed like the only thing that was calming him down at the moment.
"Hazza, can we talk to you?" Simon asked.
"W'at Si?" Harry asked around his thumb. Simon played with Harry's messy hair and asked, "What's been going on today, Bog? You won't let us leave you."
"I-I d-don't wan' 'ou ta weave me." Harry stuttered and slurred.
"Baby, why would we leave you?" JJ asked.
"'osie weft me." Harry mumbled. All the boys shared a look, they knew about Rosie, Harry's sister, and her suicide years ago, it had obviously affected the boy and they all felt bad for not realizing. "An' mummy weft me wif daddy evwy day." Harry continued.
Josh sighed, he felt horrible that this sweet little boy had gone through so much.
"An' daddy weaved too!" Harry cried and then burried his head into Josh's chest and sobbed.
All the boys felt terrible for the little boy, he didn't know how to express his feelings and it was so hard on him sometimes. JJ felt tears pricking the corners of his eyes as he rubbed the boys back and listened to him sob.
"Harry, we promise that none of us is ever going to leave you." Simon told him. Harry peeked out at him from Josh's chest, "Weally?" he mumbled.
JJ smiled. "Really boggy. We won't leave you but you have to remember that sometimes we have to got to the store or work but we'll come back."
"Weally?" Harry asked.
"Yep, and if we have to go tot he kitchen we're coming right back." Josh told the boy.
"Oh." Harry said.
JJ wiped the tears from Harry's cheeks and then from his own eyes. "Next time you feel like this we want you to talk to us, okay, Baby?"
"Otay." Harry sniffled.
"Do you want to watch movies now?" JJ asked.
"Yes!" Harry squealed, his mood changing in a matter of seconds. All the boys chuckled and they sat on the couch with Harry laying across all of them.
Harry wanted to watch a princess movie so, they turned on Beauty and the Beast and the rest of the day was spent cuddling and giving a little extra attention to their baby boggy.
