5SOS - 19

Soundcheck goes well, they set up all the lights and microphones, or well the crew does most of it, the band just singing and making sure their in ear pieces work as they should. All is fine and they hang around making jokes.

Harry goes down from the scene and picks up Louis, who was sat dangling his feet on the edge of the scene. The boy can't contain his giggles, it was fun being carried by his daddy.

"Are you a little giggly boy, huh?" Harry mumbles with a chuckle. While Louis starts giggling more, he can't contain his smile as Harry spins around, still with the boy in his arms.

"This is adorable, I love little Louis!" Liam says to them as he walks past them towards the backstage room. It makes Harry smile, he was so sure his friends and bandmates would be in some way disgusted by this. He expected them all to behave like Niall did in the start, even though he has softened up in this small amount of time, he still doesn't seem to fully understand. This makes Harry even happier that the rest of the boys really don't care that Louis is an age regressor.

He wishes he could make everyone see that this isn't some bad thing, that he could make the crew softer around them, so they wouldn't shoot dirty looks towards them when Louis was just a little happy boy.

Harry decides to tickle the boy while he swoops him up so he is over the man's shoulder. It makes Louis laugh loudly and squirm around. While he is still being tickled he can feel the growing pressure of his bladder. He decides to alert the man before it's too late, still in a fit of laughter.

"Daddy 'm gonna pee sto-" He gets out between laughs, and he can't help it when he feels a little bit of wee run out of him before the man can stop his tickling. Louis blushes blood red, and his whole body tenses when Harry stops tickling him. He moves him around, holding the boy on his hip. Harry understands why, maybe in this bigger headspace he doesn't feel as safe with the diapers as he was when he was in his younger headspace.

"It's all fine, baby, we can change you really quick!" Harry says enthusiastically. He thinks that Louis might be a bit scared of the other ones knowing, but that isn't even the boy's worry. In this headspace Louis doesn't mind the diaper much, he just knows there is a chance it could leak, and that would be embarrassing. He does feel weird that he is wearing a diaper, but at the same time they give him such a safety that he doesn't mind it. Maybe his adult side is showing more with the weirdness of having a diaper on.

But oh the safety he feels! He is so conflicted with these feelings, does he hate or love the diapers? He can't decide.

"Mhm, okay Daddy, but wanna watch Paw 'trol" He says still a bit slurred even though he is in a bit older headspace, which Harry finds adorable. He loves it when Louis' talk is more baby-ish. It makes it somehow more real that he is regressed, making it easier for him to baby him. It also makes it easier because he is a baby or toddler in his mind, just that his body is more adult. It should weird him out, at least he thinks that, but it doesn't. It just seems right. It seems right to see this fragile boy be more himself and more childish. And that's not a bad thing.

Harry chuckles and walks to the bus, just as he opens the door he notices that the tour bus for the 5 Seconds of Summer band pulls up beside theirs. He decides he should probably change Louis before they go and say hi to them. So he carries the boy inside, who is babbling about his TV show. Harry thinks that maybe Louis hasn't been able to be a child for very long, he had to grow up fast, and that makes him more inclined to like the more childish things.

It makes him happy to see him like this, babbling and carefree, Louis was never really carefree. He seemed like it, like he didn't care and he would joke around and make a fool of himself, but the boys knew. They knew that Louis never really showed himself, that he was as insecure as the rest of them, maybe even more than they were.
