when calum woke up, the littles feet were cold since they weren't under the blankets. so, he pulled his knees up and shoved his cold feet against ashtons warm skin. that instantly had ashton waking up, since calums feet were really cold against his skin.
"calum," ashton whines, "you're so cold."
"sowwy daddy," calum mumbles, quickly taking his feet away from ashtons leg. the older boy could hear the hesitation in his voice, and of course ashton didnt mean for anything to sound rude. he didnt even want calum to move his legs. calum was just cold and that surprised him.
"no, give me your feet," ashton says, moving his hand under the blankets til he grabbed onto calums thigh.
"no!" calum says happily, giggling as he moved his legs away from ashtons hands - which didnt last long anyway. his daddy always gets him.
"daddy!" calum squeals when ashton sits up, and easily spins calums body around that way calums legs were on ashtons lap.
"baby!" ashton says right back, grabbing onto calums right foot, "we gotta warm these tosies up, sweetheart, or else they're gonna fall off!"
calum gasps, "no, daddy! no lose tosies!"
ashton almost bursts out into lauguter. little calum was just so easy to mess with.
"well, we gotta warm them up them!" ashton says, pressing his hands against calums feet that way they could warm up. calum sits up, and does the same, because he really thinks he might lose his toes if he doesn't.
once his toes are warm, he shoves his feet back under the blankets right by ashtons feet.
"tank 'ou, daddy," calum mumbles, leaning against ashtons side, "keep my tosies now."
"dont worry, daddy will never let you lose your tosies. i promise."
"wewie?" calum asks, looking up at ashton.
"really, sweetheart."
calum smiles, and then leans in so he's pressing his lips to ashtons. the older boy wasn't caught off guard by his little giving him kisses, but he was caught off guard when calum swung a leg over his lap that way he was straddling him.
"mm, babyboy," ashton says against calums lips as he grabs onto his waist, "what're you doing?"
calum doesn't answer. he just shoves his tongue into ashtons mouth - and thats when his stomach growls loudly. ashton starts to laugh against his lips.
"okay, no more of this, i think it's breakfast time."
"but-but daddy!" calum whines, trying to kiss ashton again.
"uh-uh," ashton says, pulling his head back, "your tummy is yelling at you, baby. how about i make you some breakfast?"
"no, want daddy."
"after breakfast."
"p'etty p'ease, daddy?" calum asks, giving ashton his best puppy face (that ashton could, most the time, never say no to).
"sweetheart, you need to eat," ashton says, "so either i can spank you before we eat, or we can go eat and i can spank you afterwards. your choice."
calum ponders for a moment. on one hand, he hadnt been spanked or touched by ashton in too long. on the other hand...he was really hungry.
"we eaty first, daddy."
"good choice, love. before we get breakfast though, is your pull up wet? do you need changed?"
"no, daddy. 'm good. tank 'ou," calum says, and then makes grabby hands at ashton. his daddy picks him up easily, and carries him to the kitchen.
"so, what does your tummy want, hmm?" ashton asks softly, smiling at calum.
"hmm," calum hums, pursing his lips as he thinks, "c-cakies? p'ease?"
ashton smiles softly, "of course we can have pancakes. chocolate chip?"
"yes!" calum gasps happily. ashton chuckles, and sets calum down when they get to the kitchen, "can you grab the batter and chocolate chips for daddy, please?"
calum nods happily, and rushes over to the pantry. ashton watches, eyes full of love, at calum.
ashton felt bad sometimes, especially when he thinks about how he separated them. yet, that's what he needed to work on. to let calum grow, and be his own person. if he kept coddling calum, and kept hiding calum behind his back...calum wouldn't ever move.
if something happened, or calum got scared, he would always run back and hide behind ashton and ashton just couldn't let that go on much longer. as much as ashton would always be there to protect calum...he at least needed calum to know how to fight on his own.
"daddy! daddy!"
ashton snaps back into reality, and looks to calum.
"you got the mini chocolate chips, huh?" ashton asks, taking the chips and batter from calum. the little smiles his big, happy, cheerful smile at ashton, which makes butterflies grow inside of ashtons stomach.
"yeah, daddy! 'dey better!"
ashton giggles, "you bet they are. hey, you wanna help daddy mix the batter?"
"yeah!"
