Cruisin' for a Bruisin' - Ben Barnes

Ben is an overall good baby. He likes to play pranks on his Mama sometimes, but the rest of the time, he behaves. All of that disappears when he gets in the car though, especially when he gets buckled in his car seat.

He hates being trapped, and he gets even more frustrated when he doesn't know how something works. Because he is so curious, he tends to touch things he isn't supposed to, and that has gotten him in trouble before. That's what caused today's accident.

Y/N was taking Ben to the doctor. If this day couldn't get any worse for Ben, he not only had to go meet a stranger while in headspace, but the only way of doing so was while being tied to, what he called, the death trap.

"Benny please, I need to buckle you in, otherwise, you are going to fly around the backseat and get hurt. We're already late for your appointment; be a good boy and cooperate with Mama", Y/N pleaded to Ben, but he kept pushing her hands away, kicking his feet, whining, and huffing.

"Nuuuu! I no wike it, Mama. I no nee's doctow. I gud", Ben explained in his butchered speech. Y/N sighed before grabbing both of Ben's hands.

"Bubba, I know you think you're ok, but you had three colds last month, and had gotten a bunch of bruises thanks to you jumping around the house. You need to get checked. And, if you don't pass the doctor's exam, you can't go film your series next month. You have to be healthy for that. So, you need to let me buckle you in so we can go, okay?", Y/N explained briefly, making Ben concentrate on her words, to distract him from her actions. "Yes! Now we're ready to go", Y/N said, celebrating her small win, before closing Ben's door and settling in the driver's seat to go to the doctor.

Ben wasn't happy about the whole situation at all. He was trapped in the death trap by his Mama, and she was taking him with the creepy guy who thinks babbling stuff can make him laugh. He wasn't a baby, not a real one anyway. He appreciated when adults would talk to him clearly. Of course, praises and nicknames were fine, but babbling always made him mad.

They had been on the road for about ten minutes. Y/N had put on Ben's car playlist full of his favorite Disney songs. Normally, he would sing along, but Ben was more interested on how to get out of today's events.

He started to look around himself, analyzing the mechanism that had him strapped to the car seat and then how the car seat was strapped to the car itself. He could see two red buttons, one was over his chest, the other one was a little bit to the side. He determined that the red button over his chest would for sure set him free.

Checking through the rear-view mirror that his Mama wasn't looking at him, Ben started to push the red button, but seeing as it was too hard to press it down, he started to move and huff, which caused for Y/N to look at her baby.

"Benjamin Thomas, stop that. You are cruisin' for a bruisin'. You need the straps to stay safe. I can't park to help you put them back on if you unbuckle them. Please, stay still", Y/N slightly scolded Ben who just huffed once more before dropping his arms to his sides in defeat.

He was looking out the window, trying to think of what else he could do. He kept hovering his hands over the near surfaces when suddenly, he touched the other red button. He looked back at it and an idea popped in his mind.

"I jus' twy t'is button. It will set me fwee jus' wike da oda one", Ben thought to himself before slouching to his side and pressing the button.

To the baby's surprise, nothing happened, yet. Seeing as his attempts of escaping had failed, Ben just laid back on his seat and stared out the window once more.

They were approaching a really short curve that Y/N had driven many times before, but it always made everyone in the car slide to the side. Unfortunately, this time would be a traumatizing experience for both adults.
