Burden

Jungkook: little, ages 1-4
Taehyung: caregiver, boyfriend

Scenario: Jungkook is scared to be little in front of Taehyung but slips anyway because of stress and later confessed that he didn't want to get in the way

Jungkook sighed heavily and walked through the door before shutting it closed. He leaned against it and kicked his shoes off.

"Baby?" Taehyung called from upstairs.

"Tae?" Jungkook called back while Taehyung made his way down the stairs.

"You're back! I'm glad." Taehyung smiled and made his way to Jungkook. Taehyung had noticed the bags under his eyes and his messy hair. He knew the boy didn't like slipping, but he had to if he looked this bad.

"How long has it been since you've slipped, baby?" Taehyung asked as he took a good look at Jungkook.

"I don't need to slip, Tae. I'm fine." Jungkook said coldly as he pushed passed him and made his way upstairs. He shut the door loudly and Taehyung sighed. It would take a while before Jungkook would allow himself to slip, but Taehyung didn't know why he was so frustrated with the idea of slipping.

Taehyung grabbed Jungkook's favorite littlespace blanket, paci in case he slipped to a younger headspace (Taehyung was sure he would because of how long it had been), and a small plushie.

He walked upstairs slowly and cracked the door to his and Jungkook's shared room. He saw Jungkook wiping his eyes harshly and taking deep breaths and decided to walk in.

"Hey, baby," Taehyung said. Jungkook looked up at him and looked back down, scared to meet his eyes. Taehyung knelt down in front of the boy sitting on the bed and held out the plushie.

"Ellie the elephant has missed his bunny lately," Taehyung said. Jungkook's eyes were hesitant, but still widened. He took Ellie and held her close to his chest, crying.

"Baby what's wrong?" Taehyung asked worryingly and sat on the bed next to him.

"I- I sowwy daddy I been stessed wots." Jungkook said, not really pronouncing the word 'stressed' right.

"I know, baby." Taehyung said as he hugged Jungkook.

"Can you tell me why you didn't want to slip for so long?" Taehyung asked softly as he played with his hair.

"I didn' wan' be a buwden..." Jungkook softly spoke. So soft Taehyung almost didn't hear him.

"Baby, you are never ever a burden to me. You never will be."

"Ish daddy suwe?" Jungkook asked softly and cutely as he hugged his caregiver. 

"I'm very sure, baby. Daddy's always right," Taehyung spoke as he kissed Jungkook's head. Jungkook nodded and sighed in content. Maybe he needed cuddles from his daddy more often.

The day was spent with Jungkook and Taehyung while Jungkook was in littlespace. He later slipped into a younger headspace because of stress and had his paci with him. Jungkook was right. He really did need cuddles from his daddy more often.
