Dada (littlespace + fluff + very slight angst)

Y/N POV:

I turn the car off and get out, locking it. I open the backseat door and pull out my two grocery bags, putting them on my arms so I can carry them. I close the door and press the lock button three times, just to make sure it actually locked because I don't need my car being broken into.

I walk into the house, calling out my roommate's name to let him know that I grabbed the items he asked for.

"C/N, I'm home. I got the things you asked for."

I'm met with silence, confusing me.

Weird. He's always doing something when I'm out at the store. I should probably look for him.

I check from room to room, first looking in the kitchen to see if C/N's possibly cooking something. I peek into the kitchen, my eyebrows furrowing in confusion when I see the kitchen completely empty.

Maybe he's in the dining room?

I walk through the connected doorway between the kitchen and the dining room, humming to myself in surprise when I see an empty dining room.

He might be in the living room playing video games. I should go check.

I walk across the house into the direction of the living room. As I near the doorway, I start hearing some strange noises. They almost sound like...

Crying? Is C/N crying? He never cries.

I walk in slowly, making sure I don't make any noise so C/N doesn't try to hide from me.

"Dada... Dada... 'm hungry... Need you... Need help, please..."

My protective instincts kick in and my face immediately softens. I carefully put the grocery items in my hands onto the couch, making sure I don't move too quickly so I don't scare C/N. I slowly get down onto the floor next to him, my gaze gentle & warm as I speak in a soothing tone.

"Hey, baby. Want me to help?"

C/N's red & puffy eyes widen when he sees me. His bottom lip quivers as he looks up at me, a glimmer of vulnerability in his gaze.

"You..."

I see the vulnerability in C/N's eyes and I feel my heart melt a bit, a small, reassuring smile growing onto my face as I nod.

"I'm here to help you, if you want it."

I gently wipe the tears from C/N's eyes with my thumbs.

He sniffles, his hands immediately reaching up to cling onto my wrists as I gently wipe away his tears. A few more stray tears escape his eyes, rolling down his cheeks as he gazes up at you with a mix of fear & longing.

"Don't go..."

"I'll stay here as long as you want. I fully sit down next to you on the floor want me to hold you, baby?"

C/N nods frantically, burying his face into my shoulder and wrapping his arms tightly around my neck. His body trembles as he sobs silently, clinging to me like a lifeline. I carefully pull him into my lap, allowing him to cling to me as tightly as he needs. I gently wrap my arms around him and begin rocking him from side to side.

"Dada's got you, baby. I'll stay here with you as long as you want."

C/N's body relaxes slightly in my lap, his crying slowing to sniffles as he nuzzles his face deeper into the crook of my neck. He snuggles into my warmth, his hands fisting in my shirt.

"Dada..."

I hear him calling me 'Dada' and I smile fondly, nodding and gently kissing his cheek affectionately.

"Mhm. Dada's here for you, baby."

C/N sighs contentedly, his eyelids getting heavy as he nuzzles closer to me.

"We sleep here tonight...?"

I hear his soft request and I nod, feeling the way he begins to relax in my embrace.

"Of course we can, baby. Dada can stay here with you all night, if you want."

C/N's droopy eyes light up with relief & gratitude, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He snuggles closer to me, his body curling into my own as he lets out a soft sigh of contentment.

"Thank you, Dada..."

I hear his gratitude and my heart melts, my arms wrapping around C/N protectively.

"You're welcome, baby."

I give him a gentle kiss on his forehead. C/N basks in the softness of my kiss, his tense muscles relaxing under my caring touch.

" 'm love you, Dada..."

I grin fondly, my eyes tender & warm as I murmur reassuringly in response.

"I love you too, baby."

C/N nuzzles against my chest, hopefully feeling safe & loved in my embrace.

"Can we stay like this forever, Dada...? I don't want you to get tired..."

My heart melts at his question and his concern. I nod, smiling warmly.

"I'd love that, baby."

C/N lets out a quiet, happy sigh and clings to me even more.

" 'm love you so much, Dada..."

I wrap my arms around him gently, leaving a small kiss on his forehead and murmuring comfortingly into his ear.

"Dada loves you so much, too, baby."

C/N's eyes flutter closed, a content smile on his face as he absorbs my words of love. He rests his head against my cheek, his hands lightly tracing patterns on my shirt.

"Dada feels so good..."

I grab a nearby blanket and drape it over both of us, making sure C/N is completely covered & comfortable.

"There we go, baby. Nice and warm."

He lets out a happy, low hum and curls further into my embrace, looking up at me sleepily.

"Thank you, Dada..."

I smile & nod, gently cradling C/N's cheek with my hand and caressing his cheekbone with my thumb.

"You're welcome, baby."

C/N's eyelids get heavier, his face tilting into my gentle touch. His breathing audibly slows, and his body relaxes, seeking solace in my loving gesture. I murmur comfortingly into his ear, continuing to cup his cheek & gently rock him from side to side on my lap.

"Dada's baby, forever and always."

I kiss his cheek softly.

C/N's eyes flutter closed once again, his weak body growing heavy with impending sleep. A tear of happiness trickles down his cheek as he savors the warmth & love I'm pouring into him.

"Dada..."

I lightly kiss the tear on C/N's cheek, carefully swiping away the remnants of the tear afterward.

"Yes, baby?"

His voice is barely even a whisper, his words slurred from nearing slumber. He nuzzles his face into the crook of my neck, seeking my warmth & comfort.

"Love you, Dada... so much..."

My heart melts a bit at the sound of his slurred words. I snuggle him closer, gently kissing his cheek.

"Dada loves you too, baby."

C/N releases a contented sigh. The last vestiges of his consciousness fade away, replaced by a peaceful sleep as he mutters in his sleep.

"Dada..."

I watch with eyes full of utter love & adoration as C/N falls asleep in my arms with his face nuzzled into the crook of my neck.

This sweet, precious boy has me wrapped around his finger already.

A/N: I know this is super short, but I thought it was a super cute idea. Hopefully this is good :)
