Everyday Life?

Daddy??

Archer's POV

After school, I go home and try to relax. It's hard not thinking of that substitute, but I'm able to get an hour of relaxation at least.

Once it hits 6 pm, my family calls me for dinner. I go down and have dinner with them. Not much happens besides talking about our days but I keep mine short and less detailed, then I go back upstairs after we do the dishes. I'm too distracted to really socialize much. They do wonder if something's up but don't persist after I tell them I'm tired.

It's the night before I know it and I get ready for bed. It's 10 pm by the time I'm ready to sleep. I grab my plush animal, turn on the nightlight, and sleep.

The next morning

I wake up and groan. Another day of suffering, especially with that sub. I look at my plushie for a few minutes before patting him and setting him to rest next to my pillow.

"Mmm, here we go. Hopefully, today will not be any weirder than yesterday. What worse can happen right?" With that said, I get ready for school. Picking out a big shirt and some jeans. I grab my backpack and go downstairs.

"Hey, guys. Have a good day. I love you all," I say to my family, hugging and kissing their cheeks before leaving out the door fast and in the process skipping breakfast as usual without anyone knowing.

As I'm walking to school, I see a familiar person. Fuck, is that substitute still going to my school? I hide behind a few trees and watch him. He's checking some papers. He starts walking again—oh shit, the crosswalk! I gotta make it! I carefully walk behind him, hoping to god he won't turn around. Luckily, he doesn't. I hide behind some trees while following him. That's how I get across the crosswalk, following behind him. I really doubt he's aware I'm behind him...

After a bit, I notice he really is going to our school, again. Fuck. Don't tell me he is one of those long-term subs. I'm gonna die if that's true.

I was just about to go behind some trees when his voice startled me.

"Are you having fun? Following me, cutie?" His voice is way closer than I thought. I quickly go behind the tree, just in case he was talking to someone else.

"What are you doing, little one? Hiding behind trees, following me?" I peek out a little and yelp when I see him looking right at the tree I'm hiding behind. He knows!

Before I know it, he is picking me up. WHA—When did he get so close?! "What are you doing, cutie?" He asks with a smirk. I shake my head and unconsciously cling to him. "Aww, is someone clingy today? Don't worry, I'll carry you to school, kiddo." I want to protest because all of this is so sudden and weird. Why is he treating me like a child? What's going on??? But I'm unable to because something just makes me kinda limp and I let him carry me, a daze hazy-like feeling coming on and somehow I'm subconsciously loving it, and suddenly I feel some kind of childish feeling come over me. My feet dangle since his are longer and taller.

"Are you out, baby?" He asks, kissing my head. I giggle. "Nuuuu" I push his face away but he licks my fingers. I let go going "Ewww, you gross." "Aww, I'm gross?" He has a hurt look. I immediately kiss his finger, "Nu, you perfect, da—" I stop. What the fuck am I saying and doing? I go silent. Damn it, why can't I control myself. WHO IS THIS? I'M SCARED OF MYSELF.

He must of understood why I stopped. "Hmm, it's okay if you regress a bit. I'll take care of you every single step of the way, baby," he says quietly. Regress?? What's that? Is it this childish feeling??

I blush and hide my head into his neck. As if I know what I'm even doing, my body has its own mind at this point. He chuckles and pats my back. We walk a little more until he reaches the school. "Okay, baby. I don't want to put you down, but we have to go inside unless you want me to keep carrying you?" YES LET ME GO YOU MOTHERF—I just cling tighter, not caring about others. UGHHHH WHY. I just want my daddy--Wait? What the fuck? He's not my dad... WHO ARE YOU? STOP CONTROLLING MY THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS YOU SON OF A B—

"Okay, bub, don't worry. I'm not leaving." He carries me inside. I keep my head on his shoulder. He goes to the front desk and does whatever subs do. "Oh, Mr. Basely, I didn't know you had a child. He's sooo cute!" Ms. Margaret says, squealing. She is the front office lady. Luckily she can't see my face, because she would know me instantly. "Ah, yeah. He is really cute. I hope to keep him forever too." I can tell she must have a confused look because I'm beyond confused!

We get to his office and I look around. "It's 10 minutes till classes start, baby. I'll see you in 3rd period, okay? You can't skip classes." I whine. "Don't leeeaaaaaveee," I plead. PLEASE GO JUMP OFF A BRIDGE AND NEVER COME BACK! "I'm not leaving, you'll see me later, don't worry." He lets me down and pats my head. NOOOOOO!!

I hug him goodbye sadly and leave for the rest of my classes. WHY SADLY? JUMP FOR FUCKING JOY! As I'm leaving, I hear, "See you later, daddy loves you, baby."

I feel myself able to regain my thoughts and actions completely again after I walk away even more.

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!
