Team8s and Counting

94. Princess Daddy

Pin, Coiny, and Needle were home with their kids. Everyone else was out at lunch, so the house was quieter than usual. Dimey was now starting to crawl around, while Thread decided that it would be fun to play some dress up.

Needle had gone to the store and bought some princess dresses for Thread, even buying some for her and Pin if Thread ever wanted them to play along with her.

Once Thread had gotten dressed in her pink princess dress, she was over the moon.

"I love it!" She squealed, "Thanks!"

Needle put on a big grin, "I'm glad you like it sweetie! I even bought another one if you wanted one of us to play princess with you!"

Thread continued to wheel around, her princess dress flowing as she moved her wheelchair.

"I'm a princess! I'm a Princess!" She cheered. "Daddy! How about you get on the other princess dress!"

Coiny was initially startled, but almost instantly got over it, "You want me to be the princess?"

Pin chuckled, "You know, Mommy or I would love to play the princess."

Thread was insistent, "No, I want Daddy to be the princess."

Coiny laughed at Thread, "Okay, I'll get the dress on."

Thread cheered, "YAY! Thanks Daddy!"

Pin and Needle laughed at Coiny as he tried to get the princess dress on.

"What's so funny," Coiny said.

"Nothing," Needle said, trying to hold back her laughter, "It's just that you make quite an interesting princess is all!"

Coiny rolled his eyes, "You think it's the first time I've ever worn a dress?"

Needle thought that Coiny was joking, but both him and Pin knew that he was actually being somewhat serious. Coiny never really minded wearing dresses. During the time in BFDIA and IDFB when Needle wasn't hanging out with Coiny and Pin all that much, Coiny actually experimented a lot with his fashion sense. He realized that he liked a lot of feminine things, sometimes even more than masculine things.

It get to the point where he even questioned if he was transgender. Other then him, Pin was the only one who ever knew about this, and she was willing to support him all the way if he ever realized he was a girl, and even experimented with different pronouns on him.

Coiny eventually realized that, no, he wasn't a girl, or even nonbinary; he was definitely a guy, but his love for feminine things never faded, even if he doesn't express his femininity as often as he used to.

"Well," Needle said, as she gave him a kiss on the check, "I think you make a very pretty princess!"

Coiny blushed, relieved that Needle didn't mind that he liked to be feminine once in a while, since he almost never shows his feminine side to her.

"Daddy Daddy!" Thread shouted, "Come here! Come here!"

"I'm coming, big girl!" Coiny said, as he twirled around in the princess dress. Needle and Pin smiled at Coiny, as even they would admit, he looked good in that dress. Thread didn't have a care in the world that Coiny was a guy in a princess dress, and was just happy her dad agreed to play princess with her.

"Daddy, you look so pretty!" Thread exclaimed, her voice filled with awe.

Coiny knelt down to be at Thread's level, giving her a warm smile. "Thank you, Princess Thread. Now, what shall we do in our kingdom today?"

Thread giggled and wheeled around in her wheelchair, her dress trailing behind her like a royal cape. "We need to have a royal tea party! But first, we need crowns!"

Pin, always prepared, pulled out a couple of handmade crowns from behind her back. "Here you go, Your Majesties," she said, placing a crown on Thread's head and another on Coiny's.

Needle joined in, her own crown perched atop her head. "Let's set up the tea party in the living room. I'll bring out the tea set."

With everyone in their royal attire, they moved to the living room. Needle brought out a child-friendly tea set and placed it on a small table. Dimey, now crawling around, was fascinated by the colorful setup and tried to reach for one of the cups.

Coiny scooped up Dimey and placed him in a high chair nearby. "Dimey can be our royal taste tester," he said, earning a giggle from Thread.

Thread poured the imaginary tea, as her and Coiny took some pretend sips.

"This is some fine tea, Princess Thread," Coiny said.

Thread beamed with pride. "Thank you, Princess Daddy! I made it special just for you!"

Pin and Needle watched the two with affection. It was heartwarming to see their family sharing such a light-hearted and joyful moment together.

"Now, we need to have a royal dance!" Thread announced, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"A dance, you say?" Coiny responded, rising to his feet and offering his hand to Thread. "Shall we, Princess?"

Thread giggled and placed her small hand in his. "Yes, Daddy!"

Coiny gently twirled Thread around, making sure to be mindful of her wheelchair. The living room filled with laughter and music as Pin grabbed a toy tambourine and Needle started humming a cheerful tune. Dimey clapped his hands along, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Thread's face lit up with joy as she and Coiny spun around the room. "This is the best day ever!" she exclaimed.

Coiny smiled down at her, feeling a warmth in his heart. "I'm glad you're having fun, sweetie."

Thread had a suggestion, "Maybe Bladey can play princess with us another day!"

Coiny loved the idea, "That would be so much fun, Thread." 

.....................................................

For a long time, I've always head cannoned Coiny having a more "feminine" side to him that he only brings out to people he trusts, and I thought this would be a fun chapter for him. Let's be real, he would absolutely rock a princess dress lol. 

Also TPOT 11 came out, and I gotta say, it wasn't my favorite. It's not that the writing is bad, it's just that I don't really like the Exitors in general tbh. Whatever, were back to normal next episode at least, and thank goodness, cuz I need some fuel for this book.

I think no matter what happens with my surgery, there's a good chance the next chapter will be coming out on Wednesday. I need to give myself some time after the surgery so I can recover, I hope you all understand!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I'll see you in the next chapter!
