My Protector (BxM) [DISCONTINUED]

19

A week had passed since the incident with Cole getting an anxiety attack, Floyd having been very careful and gentle with him. It was an early Monday morning and Floyd had to return to work. He groaned as he woke up to the alarm on his phone. He turned it off before glancing to the gentle being sleeping next to him. He gently shook Cole who groaned slightly before waking up, looking up at Floyd "g-good morning master..." he said softly as he sat up, finding his way onto Floyd's lap. "Good morning pup... I have to work today, would you like to come?" At this point he was constantly offering Cole the ability to join him wherever he went, knowing he had developed separation anxiety from him which made complete sense. He and the other two living there were the first people to ever show the poor boy kindness.

Cole nodded, rubbing the sleep from his eyes "yes please..." he said in a sleepy tone. Floyd chuckled and pressed a kiss to Coles cheek, seeing a smile on the boys face "such a sweet puppy" he said with a loving tone. "Now I need you to go get dressed for me, would you like me to pick out what to wear or would you like to?" Cole shrugged, it was still too early for him. Floyd chuckled at how sleepy Cole was and decided to pick the clothes for him. He picked out something comfortable and not so revealing, not really having felt "in the mood" for the past week, worried about hurting Cole. He laid the clothes on the bed and saw that Cole had already curled back up and fallen asleep, but something was different. Coles sleep didn't seem peaceful, he started making small noises which grew in volume, these weren't moans so it wasn't that Cole was having a wet dream, was it a nightmare? Floyd gently sat down and started shaking Cole, trying to wake him up. Cole started shaking and wasn't waking "Cole? Puppy? Wake up please..." Floyd started as he shook Cole a bit harder "sweetheart? I need you to wake up." He started to panic a little bit as Cole teared up, he must have been dreaming about his parents or something from his past. Floyd soon picked him up and sat him on his lap, trying harder to wake him up, and when Cole did, it was with a sharp breath, the boy clinging tightly to Floyd, sobbing into the larger males chest. "Shh... it's okay Cole... it was just a dream..." Floyd said and Cole shook his head "b-but it wasn't..." that pretty much sold it on what the dream was about, something that had happened to Cole in the past. "Do you want to talk about it?" Floyd ask, keeping Cole close as he felt the boy shake his head slightly "n-no..." Floyd nodded, understanding that Cole wasn't ready to share everything yet. He held Cole close but soon he had to get up to get ready, Cole getting himself ready, definitely not wanting to stay home alone today.

He put on the clothes Floyd got for him and smiled a bit at them, the were very comfy and the smelled like Floyd, making them even better. He wiped his eyes slightly since a few stray tears were still falling and got up to go brush his teeth and comb his hair with Floyd who was also doing the same. He stood very close to Floyd as he took care of his hygienic needs before clinging onto the taller man. "Please don't leave me..." he whimpered quietly "I would never leave you Cole..." Floyd assured, holding the boy close to himself. "We have to go now, but you'll still be with me all day" he reassured and took Coles hand in his own.

Floyd worked all day, Cole just happy to have his presence with him. Once they returned home Floyd decided they should end their day with a movie. "Have you ever seen any movies sweet heart?" He asked Cole who shook his head "hmm.. alright well, pick out one you'd think you'd like from these, I'm going to make some popcorn alright?" Cole nodded and looked at the shelf Floyd was in front of, browsing through the movies. He pulled out a dvd case and reread the title "tangled..." he said out loud before jumping when he heard the popcorn popping, fight or flight taking over as he hid under the coffee table and covered his ears.

Floyd returned with the popcorn and saw the state Cole was in, his mentality obviously decreasing "Cole?" He asked softly and set down the bowl, he knelt down and gently grabbed Coles hand, causing Cole to panic more, struggling against Floyd and backing away quickly, once he realized it was Floyd he bursts into tears and held himself while he sat against the wall, this was not good. Floyd took a step forward and Coles breath hitches as his head snapped up to him, clear worry on Floyd's face "baby... it's okay... it's just me..." Floyd said softly, Cole timidly rising and falling onto Floyd who picked him up and sat him on the couch "did you choose a movie sweetheart?..." Cole nodded and pointed to the case he dropped on the floor.

The one movie turned into a few which then turned into a Disney movie binge, and honestly Cole needed it, he needed the lighthearted movies and the cartoons to help calm him down. He was also wrapped up in blankets and cuddling with Floyd, sharing warmth with him. By the time it was only eleven at night, Cole had passed out, sleeping while leaning against Floyd who didn't want to move him, Floyd just held him close and allowed himself to fall into sleep.
