little love

6

"sweetheart? wake up, please."

"daddy?" calum mumbles sleepily, trying his best to wake up from his slumber. there's light shining in his room from his window, so he knows it isn't night time...but it feels like he had been asleep for hours.

"yeah, it's daddy, baby. are you awake for me, love?"

"mhm," calum hums, blinking his eyes couple times as he gets use to the light. then, there's a hand that starts to run through his messy curls. that doesn't help, if anything it makes calum feel more sleepy, but he fights that off.

"sweetheart?"

"daddy," calum says, and looks up at ashton. ashton smiles softly, and continues to pet calums hair.

"well hey, sleepyhead," ashton says, "i figured i would come check on you after i finished breakfast, and i came up here to see you sleepin."

"oh," calum hums, then nuzzlezs his head against ashtons hand, "was sweepy, daddy."

the little didnt mention anything about thinking (which, ashton knew anyway. calum was a thinker, and some days the little stressed himself out just by thinking. ashton knew that, and ashton was there to help calum out of his own head when he got too deep into thought).

"yeah, you were. did you want to play with daddy, though? i was thinking we could spend the day coloring, or maybe playing board games."

"wewie?" calum asks, sitting up quickly. calum really wanted to color with his daddy since his daddy mentioned it.

"yes, of course," ashton says, a smile on his face, "daddy felt bad about earlier..."

"why?" calum says, tilting his head, "was my fault, daddy...no 'lis'en too 'ou."

"hey, none of this now. how about we just forget about this morning, and have a fun rest of our day, yeah?"

"otay daddy!" calum says, a smile on his face, "we 'olor?"

"yes, we can color. can daddy dress you first, though?"

calum looks down, and sees that he's still in the same outfit that wasnt even on all the way, still. the little blushes, and nods to his daddy. now that ashton jad mentioned something, his body felt a little sore with sleeping on those buttons that were on the sides of his shortals.

"alright, up we go," ashton says, and lifts calum up with ease. the little smiles happily, and wraps his arms and legs around ashton.

when ashton got over to the changing table, he went to go lay calum down on it...but the little didnt budge.

"oh, you monkey," ashton giggles, "are you gonna let me set you down so i can change you?"

"mmm...no, daddy."

"no?"

"nope," calum says, giggling afterwards.

"so, we just aren't gonna change your clothes then, huh?"

"nope. daddy carry me all day!" calum laughs, shoving his nose into ashtons neck.

"how about, i change you first then i'll hold you all day?"

"hmm...otay, daddy."

ashton lays calum down with ease that time, and then strips the little naked. he doesn't ask what calum wants to wear. ashton just slips one of his hoodies onto calum, and then a pair of big boy boxers. it was enough for the little, since he clapped happily and make grabby hands to ashton once he was done.

"you're so silly, baby," ashton says, once hes got calum in his arms and their making their way to calum's play room. the little giggles again. his daddy just made him so, so happy.

"no, 'm a mon'ey, daddy!" calum says happily, absolutely in love with ashton calling him a monkey.

"yes, right," ashton giggles, and sets the little down, "you are a monkey."

"yeah," calum giggles happily. as soon as his daddy is sat next to him, he leans against his daddys side.

"you know i love you, right?" ashton whispers, placing a soft kiss to calums head. the little nods, and looks up at ashton with his brown doe eyes.

"yeah, daddy. 'ub 'ou, so 'uch,"

"good, monkey," ashton says. then, he randomly leans in and pecks calums lips.

they both knew the tension had been growing between them - yet, neither of them wanted to bring it up. it would cause more chaos, and the last thing they wanted to do was argue with each other.

little did they know, it wouldn't stay like that for them.
