Daddy In Training (NovaHD)

CH.2-The First Phone Call

"Hello?" James asked as he heard the other end picked up, hoping that the number was his real one. "Hello, Jamie." Aleks said happily, smiling from the sound of the other voice. "Oh my- It's really you!" The little squeaked out happily. "Well of course it's me, i did bring up the offer of getting in a call." The Russian said as he sat back in his chair. "I know... it's just.." James said in a small voice, laced with sadness. "Aw, Jamie." Aleks cooed. "I promise i'll never purposely hurt or upset you." He said honestly. "I'm not perfect, so it might happen but it's never my goal, ok?" He asked softly. "Ok." The other repeated, nodding his head. "I love your voice, it fits you perfectly." The younger said, changing the topic. "You think so?" James asked hopefully, quickly forgetting the last topic. "Yes, i think so. It's perfect and cute, just like you." Aleks hummed. The little blushed wildly at the compliment, looking down to fiddle with his dress. "Th-thank you.. " He stuttered out. "I'm not perfect though." He muttered sadly. "What, not perfect? Impossible, you're as perfect as can be." Aleks said shaking his head. "No I'm not, I'm all fat and stuff." James murmured out, sniffling slightly. "And I'm such a cry baby." He said hopelessly.

"Shhh, Jamie. You're not either of those. You are beautifully chubby and you are just more emotional than other people. There is nothing wrong with that." The Russian explained. "There isn't?" James asked hopefully, rubbing at his eyes. "No there isn't. You are perfect with all your imperfections, they are what make you perfect." Aleks assured, with a nod even if James couldn't see him. "I wouldn't change a thing about you." He added. "Not even me being a little?" The other asked. "Nope, not at all." The younger said simply. "You are really the best." James said with a happy giggle. "Aw and that was the cutest giggle I've ever heard!" Aleks said with a wide smile. "Daddy! Please, it wasn't cute." The little mutter, face going beat red. "Yes it was and there is nothing you can say to change my mind on that." The Russian said firmly. James made a displeased whine but still had a huge smile and blush on his face. "My face is so hot now." He whined out. "Aw i wish i was there to see it." Aleks cooed. "Really?" The elder asked quickly. "You wish you were here, really?" He asked. "Yes I do, it would be nice to talk face to face." The other confirmed, sighing after.

"I wish you were here too daddy, I'm so lonely." James said with a pout. "Why do you have to live all the way in Boston." He asked pitifully. "Aw, because i grew up here." Aleks explained. "But I've always wanted to move away so maybe one day i'll live closer." He said, not wanting to make any promises but he did really want to move elsewhere. "That doesn't help now!" The little said, starting to get huffy and upset. "Jamie, calm down." The Russian said calmly. "Getting all worked up about it won't change it, i live here, you live there. One day we will meet up and maybe be closer." He explained. "I know... But it makes me upset." James said in a pouty voice. "I know but if you get upset over it you waste time we could spend talking or doing whatever." Aleks said simply. "It's ok to be upset but throwing a tantrum isn't worth it, Jamie." He explain carefully. "Yah.. you have a point.... I'm sorry, daddy." The elder said, feeling bad he got so worked up. "It's ok, no need to get sad. You haven't done anything wrong, i promise." The younger said softly.

James smiled softly, settling back on his bed. "You're already really good at calming me down." He said as he pulled his monkey close again. "I am?" Aleks asked as he raised a brow. "I was just saying what sounded right." He said. "Yep." The other confirmed, popping the "p" at the end. "Well i'm glad, one less thing i have to learn." The Russian said happily with a hum. "I still have a lot it bet." He added after a moment. "Yep! You have to learn about setting rules, punishments for the rules. You have to learn how to care for a little, like food likes and making sure that they always eat properly and healthily." James said as he started to list things. "You have to learn when to reward a little, not just spoiling them. Oh! And importantly learn to comfort them after a punishment. The aftercare is very important and it show how much you care about them and whether they can continue to trust you." He babbled on. "Basically you just have to learn to be there in every possible way your little could need you." He said as he ended his rambling.

"That is a lot and i'm sure there are some other things, like i bet learning to say things carefully." Aleks said with a hum. "Like i'd jokingly call my friend a name but it's risky, i would think, to do that to a little." He explained. "Yah, kinda. Like i know my friend Sea is joking and i can be ok with it but if it's a bad day i can get set off..." James said as he nuzzled his monkey. "And it would be my job to learn if its ok to make jokes like that and if i mess up to handle it properly and learn." The Russian said. "Yep! You're learning fast! You'll be a perfect daddy in no time!" James chirped happily. "Well i hope i don't fail too bad at this. Either way i want to be a friend if i can." Aleks said as he spun in his chair. "If you really wanna do this you won't fail." The little assured, a small yawn falling from his mouth after. "Aw, You sleepy Jamie?" The younger cooed out. "Mmmhmm" James hummed feeling his eyelids grow heavy. "Well then putting you to bed must be on that list so let's start there." Aleks said as he sat up more. "What do we do we do first?" He asked with a smile.

"Ummm, Oh! I need to get in my jammies. If you were here you'd help, pick them or let me pick and then help me change." James explained tiredly. "Ok, well i can't help you change but i can help you pick them out." The Russian hummed. "But daddy~ I have so many to chose from." The other whined out, rubbing at his eyes tiredly. "Hmm, then put on either your favorite ones or the cutest pair you have." Aleks decided. "Uh... So my corgi jumper?" James asked as he thought. "Yes, that sounds perfect, put me on speakerphone while you change." The other said, trying to picture James dressed up as a corgi. "O-k, daddy." The little said, yawning again. He then lazily got off his bed whining that he had to move at all. "You'll be back in bed soon and i'll sing you a lullaby." Aleks promised. "You will?" James murmured hopefully, quickly stripping out of his clothes. "Yes i will, i'll even stay on the phone with you till you're asleep." The Russian said with a wide smile. "I'd like that daddy." The elder said as he pulled on the corgi jumper. "I'm all changed." He hummed as he walked over to the bed and crawled under the covers. "Mmm good, now close your eyes and listen to me, Ok?" Aleks asked as he got ready to sing. "Ok, my eyes are shut and i have my stuffie." James murmured.

Aleks then started to sing an old Russian lullaby that his mom would sing to him at bedtime. He kept the words soft and even hopefully lulling James to sleep. The little listened to the words and soft tune, not knowing what any of it meant but not really caring as his eyes fell shut. By time Aleks had finished the song, soft snores could be heard on the other end of the phone. He said a quiet good night before hanging up, deciding to head off to bed as well. All that night all he could think and dream about was the cutie he had happened to find and the new turn his life was about to take.
