Our Baby

Eight

(Ryan POV)

When we got to the shop we all got the place ready for people to come in, and afterwards we sat around until our first customer was supposed to come in.

Work went by pretty slow today and it was a little embarrassing since some more girls assumed I was gay.

This one girl came in to get her belly button pierced. She asked me if I was gay, even giggling about it when she assumed me and Regie were dating.

And of course, all the guys teased me about it the entire rest of the day.

A few days later

My package came in, and thankfully I got to it first this time. I took the box up to my room, shutting and locking the door behind me before I set it on the bed.

I grabbed a box cutter and opened it, taking out the pacifier. I smiled and tested it out a bit before putting the case back over the teat(to protect it from fuzzies) and placed it on my night stand bedside the other pacifier.

(Kane POV)

I sitting in my room, trying to figure out how I was going to introduce this coping mechanism to Ryan.

Would he even agree with this? I feel like he would absolutely hate this, or think it was childish and stupid.

Someone knocked on my bedroom door. "Come in!" I shouted as I continued to look at my computer.

Oliver walked in.

"Hey" he said with little to no emotion in his voice as I plopped down on my bed. I felt it sink in a little bit as he laid there.

"What're you doing?" He asked as he crawled over to look at my computer screen to see what I was searching.

"So you found out about it too huh?"

"What? Little space?"

Apparently Oliver already knew what little space was.

"Yeah, the coping mechanism"

"I figured it would be good to try and get Ryan to try it, you know, to cope with his anxiety and stuff" I explained as I looked at him.

He nodded. "Yeah but we gotta figure out how to tell him. I don't think he would want to do this" Oliver said, chuckling a bit at the end of his sentence.

I nodded. "Yeah, but he already has the pacifier. So I think that's one step in to this coping mechanism"

Oliver hummed a bit before taking my laptop into his own hands and trying something in before scrolling.

"What?" I looked at the screen. He was searching up how to ask someone to start little space or age regression.

"Maybe would could just introduce it to him, over dinner tonight or something" I suggested.

Oliver agreed. "We'll talk to him about it and then ask him."

"Alright then" I stretched a bit after closing the laptop and putting it on my bedside table.

Oliver got up, holding the door open for me. We walked out into the living room, seeing Ryan cuddling with Justin.

"Aww" Oliver smirked slightly as he cooed at the sight. Ryan had his face in Justin's chest. Ryan was asleep with his pink pacifier? Must have been new.

"Is that a new paci?" I asked as I walked over to them, sitting on the other couch.

Justin nodded. "He said he found it online and bought it a couple days ago" Darren explained once he walked into the living room while eating some pizza rolls.

"And he chose pink?" Oliver asked in disbelief. Justin and Darren nodded.

We heard Ryan softly groan as he rubbed his face in Justin's chest lightly. Soft sounds were heard as Ryan sucked on the pacifier in his sleep, making the pacifier bob up and down lightly.

"He looks just like a little baby" Sebastian
smiled  as he walked downstairs, looking at the sight of Ryan cuddling with Justin. Seb was right. Ryan looked like a little baby cuddling his daddy.

"I think dars getting jealous" Regie smirked, some how appearing in the living room with us. Darren shook his head as Justin smirked.

"No way, I know Ryan's not gonna take Justin from me" he said as he ate his pizza rolls.

Justin rubbed Ryan's back.

During dinner, Oliver decided to talk about little space.

"So Ryan, me and Kane thought about finding something for you to do or use to cope with the anxiety youve been having recently" Oliver started, making Ryan stop eating and look at him.

"Yeah?" Ryan mumbled, looking back down at his plate.

"Me and Oliver found a thing called little space, you would regress into the mind of a child. So you would be in the headspace of someone younger, just to relieve stress and anxiety" I explained.

"So Ryan would be like a little kid? Like a baby or something?" Sebastian asked as he ate some of his food.

Me and oli nodded.

"I don't know" Ryan said

"Just give it some thought, and if you have any questions about it you can just ask me or Kane" Oliver said, making Ryan nod.

So maybe Ryan would actually try this? I mean he already cuddles with all of us a lot, and he uses pacifiers, so I don't think it would be hard for him to get into his headspace, but that doesn't mean Ryan wouldn't put up a fight about it. I feel like Ryan would be a stubborn little if he really did decide to try this.

We continued to eat, talking about different things every so often. But nobody brought up the topic of little space again.

A/N: sorry this one is so short, I'm slowly running out of motivation to write and continue this story.
