Baby bat🍼

Little: Felix

Caregivers: Stray Kids

No one’s POV.:

Felix was always easily excitable for any seasonal events and even more so when he was in littlespace. Luckily, the members knew about this side of him and loved little Lixxie just as much. As soon as stores started to sell fall-themed drinks, Hyunjin had made it a habit to pick up a special coffee for his dongsaeng on his way to work. Seungmin didn’t mind the Aussie’s scented candles at their shared apartment and even helped to add to their shared candle collection, making their place even cozier. There was one thing Felix hadn’t dared to ask yet though.

Some of his friends had already made plans to go to a Halloween party but Felix had a different idea. He had never spent Halloween in his headspace before but it sounded like a fun experience, so he really wished that some of his caregivers would agree to spend it with his little-self but he didn’t want to keep anyone from attending the parties they had been invited to. One evening, Felix approached Seungmin during dinner and hesitantly asked: “Would you mind if I decorate for Halloween? If it makes you uncomfortable, I’ll limit it to my room only but I think it’d be fun.” – “Sure, go ahead. If you want, we can decorate together. Do you have decorations or should we buy some?”, the vocalist chuckled.

Felix didn’t have any decorations yet, so he shared his pinterest board with Seungmin. They agreed on some of the decorations and also showed them to Hyunjin, who agreed to craft some with little Lixxie the next time they’d get a day off. The older was always looking for fun activities to entertain Felix with when he was small, so this was the perfect opportunity. Chan eventually inquired about the boy’s plans for Halloween and immediately promised he’d take care of him if he decided to slip. Predictably, Felix was over the moon when he learned that he’d actually get to experience Halloween in his headspace. Seungmin too was on board and secretly conspired with Chan to have a little Halloween party at their place, partly to show off the amazing décor Hyunjin and Felix had crafted.

Minho and Jisung already had plans for a date at a haunted house and a special dinner, so they sadly had to turn down the invitation but they took Felix costume shopping a week before Halloween. The Aussie wasn’t entirely little during their outing but he wasn’t entirely big either, giddily swinging their arms as he walked between the two of them. He was so excited about the new bat costume, Jisung had helped him pick, that he didn’t even notice Minho sneaking something else into their shopping basket. Not wanting to spoil the surprise, Minho gave the other treat to Chan to give to Felix on Halloween.

Changbin and Jeongin would be going to a costume party during the late evening but wanted to spend as much of the day with little Lixxie as possible beforehand. As soon as Chan had bundled the little up in a thick coat with a scarf and beanie, Changbin took him to a pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins for him and Jeongin to carve. Felix obviously chose the biggest and roundest pumpkins, which he was completely unable to move off the ground. Laughing at his dongsaeng’s predicament, Changbin carried the pumpkins to the car and praised the little for his pick before buckling him into his seat.

He also helped Chan clean the dirt off the pumpkins, while Jeongin took Lixxie to put on his costume. The little could barely sit still while Jeongin put on his makeup for him and was disappointed when his caregiver insisted they needed to wait with putting his wings on till they were done carving the pumpkins, so they wouldn’t get dirty. The disappointment was soon forgotten though, when they joined their hyungs in the kitchen. Chan and Changbin had already set everything up for their dongsaengs and made sure to stay close by to supervise, not entirely happy with little Lixxie wielding such sharp knives.

Once the pair had successfully removed the seeds from their pumpkins, Changbin set about roasting them with some salt, while Chan assisted Felix, afraid the little would hurt himself. Felix didn’t mind, he was a bit nervous around all kinds of sharp kitchen utensils but he was very clear about how he wanted his pumpkin to look and could even show Chan reference pictures. The leader did his best to match his dongsaeng’s ideas as closely as possible, sweating slightly from the pressure. He wouldn’t have had to worry though because with the way Felix adored him, anything he did would be perfect in the little’s eyes.

Seungmin had already a spice-scented candle, so the apartment was slowly filling with a cozy scent that matched well with the roasted nutty aroma from the pumpkin seeds. Soon, Changbin and Jeongin had to get ready though, so Seungmin helped Felix put on his bat wings and Hyunjin helped him fix his makeup, that had gotten smeared during the hard labor of instructing Chan how to carve his pumpkin. “Lixxie, I got a little treat from Minho and Jisung for you”, Chan announced when Hyunjin carried their baby bat to the living room. The leader had his hands hidden behind his back and Felix giddily wriggled out of Hyunjin’s hold, waddling up to the eldest.

Giving Chan his most adorable puppy pout, Felix squealed when the leader brought his hands to the front and showed him a candy pacifier, decorated with fangs. Chan slipped the treat between his dongsaeng’s lips and cooed: “Now your costume’s complete. You look so adorable.” – “Lixxie nuh ‘dowable. I ish scawy”, the little slurred behind his paci before giggling at the sweet taste. “Alright, you scary baby bat”, Chan laughed, “It’s getting dark out, so how about we light a candle in your pumpkin, so Changbin and Jeongin can see it before they have to leave?” – “Hyungies nuh go”, Felix whined but followed Chan.

When Changbin and Jeongin bid their goodbyes after taking a few pictures with Felix in their costumes, the little clung to Changbin, wrapping his bat wings tightly around the older. He was even more heartbroken when Hyunjin and Seungmin weren’t back yet and him and Chan were alone all of a sudden. Sure, having one caregiver with him was already more than he had expected a few weeks ago but he wasn’t in his headspace a few weeks ago. Whenever he was little, he really depended on affection, so the more caregivers were present and ready to fawn over him, the better.

Hyunjin and Seungmin didn’t take too long though and by the time Chan had Felix picking out a movie he wanted to watch with them later tonight, they returned with steaming takeout boxes and called the Aussie’s for dinner. Seungmin pulled Felix into his lap and plucked the paci from his lips, so he could feed him. They had picked a few different kinds of savory pancakes and let the little try some of each, so he could figure out which he liked best. Not wanting him to go into a sugar rush already, Hyunjin sliced a persimmon for dessert and placed it on a plastic plate.

Felix happily munched on his fruit, leaning against Seungmin’s chest while Chan and Hyunjin cleared the table. When they were done, Hyunjin took the boy to clean up because his hands and face had gotten sticky and they didn’t want him to get the mess on his costume. All the while, Felix happily rambled on about the movie they were going to watch. Not that Hyunjin understood a word, the little’s speech too slurred behind his paci.

When Hyunjin placed his dongsaeng down on the couch, Felix insisted on throwing his legs over the back of the couch and let his head dangle, so he could look at the TV from a different perspective. “Don’t you wanna turn around, Lixxie?”, Chan cooed as he watched the boy’s face redden. Shaking his head, Felix reminded: “’m bat.” – “I know, but not even a bat can eat head down”, Seungmin chuckled, placing two bowls on the coffee table, “Look, we got roasted pumpkin seeds and gummy worms.” That was all Felix needed to know to sit down properly on the couch.

“Wan’ lap”, Felix pouted, scooting closer to Chan, who didn’t hesitate to pull the boy into his lap. Hyunjin brought his dongsaeng’s sippy cup filled with cherry juice and announced: “Hey baby bat, I got you some blood to quench your thirst.” Clapping his hands, Felix clapped his hands before reaching for his sippy cup. “Careful Lixxie, you don’t want to have to interrupt your movie to take a bath or change your clothes”, Chan warned, taking the sippy. He gently tipped it against the impatient boy’s lips and smiled when the younger eagerly suckled.

Chan and Hyunjin slept over that night, partly because Chan had already fallen asleep under Felix before the movie had ended and partly because they didn’t want to sneak out on him while he was regressed. None of them expected the little cauldron-shaped candy baskets, the boy had hidden in their rooms with a neatly written note: Thanks for putting up with me.
