I sigh as I walk into Ashton's house and plop down next to Michael on the couch, watching the boys play video games.

"Pizza is in the kitchen." Ashton mumbles.

"It 10:00 am."

"Never too early for pizza." Michael mutters distractedly. I chuckle and go get a few slices and then go back into the living room to find Calum has died and Michael and Ashton are fiercely trying to destroy the guys on the other team that killed him as Calum complains.

Mommy went to work and said I couldn't come with even though I begged and cried and gave my best puppy dog eyes. I saw her caving. Stupid phone call from her boss had to mess everything up.

When they finish the game, Michael hands me his controller. "How's Delilah?" Calum asks as we start a new game.

"Good."

"She yours yet?"

"Yep!" Ashton answers for me.

"Hey, why does he know and we don't?!" Michael complains.

"I don't know, maybe because he reads my Facebook status." Lies. Really, I called him while in little space and babbled about how I finally asked Delilah to be my mommy and she agreed and he listened and congratulated me, and told me he thought it would be a good idea to tell her about my dad. I didn't agree.

"I read-"

"Liar."

"Fine, okay." Michael gives in, chuckling.

"Hey, my parents are having a family get together and both these idiots are too busy. You wanna come tomorrow?" Calum asks over the loud gunshot noises on the tv.

"Me and li are going on a date tomorrow."

"No fair, imma be all alone at my parents stupid thing. What are you guys doing?"

"Zoo." Ashton looks over and laughs and I roll my eyes. He wants me to tell the boys that I'm a little, but I don't want to. He thinks they'll be fine with it, like he was, but Im afraid they'll think I'm a freak. I didn't even want him to know, but he came to my house when I was deep in little space and I just stayed there and told him about it. He was fine with it, but I made him promise not to tell.

I told him about my dad later and he tried to convince me to move out, or live with him, but i couldn't, not without a job, I'd feel bad if I didn't help pay bills, and I can't get a job because of the risk of slipping into little space.

"Delilah work today?" Ash asks.

"Yeah. She's off at 4 today."

"Is she picking you up?"

"I was gonna take the bus to hers."

"I'll drop you off. I'm already dropping cal and Mikey off anyway."

"Kay, tha-  god damnit!" I curse as I get killed by a super high ranking player. "Thanks." I mutter, handing my remote to Michael and going to get more pizza.

The boys and I spend the day playing video games, eating pizza, and having nerf gun fights like a bunch of 12 year olds, but it's fun anyways.

"Lets go to Delilahs first." Calum says.

"Why? Your house is on the way." I say.

"Cuz he wants to see miss hotty." Michael laughs. I punch his arm and then Calum's, because Michaels right and we all know it.

We show up at delilahs at 4:30ish, and the boys come bursting though the door like a herd of elephants.

"I'm sorry, lili, I told them not to come on but they wanted to see you." I laugh as I come in behind them.

She laughs from her room and comes out in the midst of trying her hair in a bun. She's wearing her clothes from work and she looks hot as hell, adding to my reasons to not want the boys here.

"It's fine, babe. How're you boys?"

"Good!" Calum chirps.

"There's pizza in the fridge of you want some."

"We ate pizza all day, they don't have to stick around." I glare at the boys, wanting to be alone with mommy so I could go to my headspace.

"Fine, fine, we'll leave. Use protection!" Michael calls, them bolts for the door as I glare. The other two follow him chuckling and I roll my eyes as I look at Delilah chuckling at the blush on my cheeks.

"Sorry." I mutter.

"I don't mind, baby boy. Did you have fun with your friends today?"

"Mhmm. But I wanted to come to work with you." I pout and she chuckles and kisses me.

"I had a longer day at work, you wouldn't have had any fun, but you get to spend all day at the zoo with mommy tomorrow, sound good?"

I smile brightly. "Mhmm." I giggle.

"Here, mommy has to change, you can go change to little clothes of you want, or mommy can do it when she's done."

I wrap my arms around her waist and she smiles down at me. "Mommy."

"You want mommy to change you?"

"Yes." I smile brightly at her.

"Ok baby, wait here for mommy then-" I cut her off with a whine and she laughs.

"What?"

"Stay with mommy." She runs her fingers through my hair and chuckles.

"You just wanna watch mommy change, huh?" I blush and bury my face in her chest.

"Nuh uh." She picks me up and carries me to her room, setting me on the bed. She opens her drawers and pulls out black sweat pants and a grey sweater and changes as I try not to get hard, then she carries me to my room to change me into a babyish red graphic t shirt and grey sweatpants.

"What do you wanna do, my little prince?"

"We play!" Mommy chuckles.

"Ok let's play then, baby boy." She kisses me.

I run over to the toy bin and get out all of my favorite toys and take them to mommy. We play for not even fifteen minutes before mommys phone rings.

"I'm sorry baby boy." She frowns as she looks at the screen. "It's mommys boss. I'll be five minutes. Why don't you draw mommy a picture, ok?" I pout but nod. She kisses my lips and answers the phone, walking out of the room. I get my color book and color a picture in for mommy, and she's not off the phone by the time I'm done, so I draw a picture on the back of the page.

I find myself smiling brightly at the picture I drew of mommy and me, proud of my work.

"Mommy!" I yell as I run into the living room holding my picture, freezing when I see the boys standing in the doorway. Ashton is smiling and the other two look surprised.

I turn on my heel and hurry back to my room, not saying a word to my friends as I lock myself in my nursery.

"Oh, hi boys. Did you forget something?"

"Luke forgot his phone in the car." Ashton says.

"Did Luke just say mommy?" Michaels voice asks. I plop into the floor and start crying, stressing about the boys thoughts.

"Um, one sec, let me go check on him."  I hear her footsteps come down the hall and I unlock the door. She comes in and picks me up, setting me on the changing table.

"Why don't we go talk to the boys, ok?" She says in a quiet voice.

"No." I whimper.

"Baby boy, they're not going to mind. We can't just leave them without an explanation though."

"Don't wanna."

"Why don't we put your big boy shirt on you and we go talk to them, ok? And if anything goes wrong, mommy will take care of it. But I want you to be big to help explain to them."

I nod and she takes off my little shirt and puts me in the one from earlier. I wipe the tears from my eyes and she sets me on the ground, kissing me before leading me out of the room and into the living room where the boys are silently sitting on the couch.

"Yeah. I did say mommy." I mumble.

"Um... why?" Calum asks in a curious voice.

"Well, its um..." I blush and rub my face. "It's called ageplay. There's um, there's a little, or a person who, um, goes into the headspace of a child, and a caregiver. A mommy. Or a daddy or whatever. Um... yeah." I say, avoiding eye contact with anyone.

"Is it like, a kink?" Michael asks.

"It's more a lifestyle." Mommy explains.

"How long have you been into it?" Calum asks.

"I don't know, a while. A year?"

"What about you Delilah?"

"Two years." She answers.

"So, um, why do you like acting like a kid?"

"I don't know, it helps with stress I guess. And I just like it." I blush. This was easier when I was little.

"Is Delilah your first mommy?"

"Yeah."

"Natasha wasn't a-"

"That was before I knew about it. Besides, I only dated her for like, two weeks." I roll my eyes, annoyed that Michael brought that up. I hate her.

"Have you had a little before?" Michael asks Delilah.

"For a while, yes." She nods, smiling.

"Oh. Luke why didn't you tell us?"

"Cuz... a lot of people think it's weird. I didn't wanna freak you guys out or something. Not a lot of 17 year olds wanna act 5."

"Yeah, but, you're our mate. We're not gonna judge you for something that helps you handle stress. Especially if you get a hot-"

"Stop it! Don't finish that sentence."

"- mommy out of it." I growl and bury my face in my hands.

"Besides, even if we didn't approve, we wouldn't be mean or anything."

"Well, I don't know. I'm sorry for not telling you I guess." I shake my head and chuckle. Ashton smiles widely.

"Ashton, why're you so quiet?" Michael asks.

"I knew. I walked in on Luke in little space a month or two ago."

"Why does ash know everything before us?" Calum chuckles and rolls his eyes.

"Anyway, here's your phone, Luke. We'll leave so you can go back into headspace. Bye Delilah!" Ashton says as he hands me the phone.

"Yeah, bye." The other two boys smile and wave.

"Bye boys!"Delilah says.

"Bye!" I call as they close the door.

"See baby, I told you they'd be fine. Now, what did you want to show mommy?" I smile and in to my room to grab the picture.

"It's beautiful, baby boy. Thank you." She kisses me before picking me up and carrying me back to my room to play some more.
