cg!Aus little E: "You Need Tiny Time, Baby
***
Elvis came home from a clearly bad day so it was clear that he needed what him and Aus called "tiny time" or time down in headspace. Usually E was the caregiver in the relationship and Austin was the little. But occasionally, when Austin noticed El was exceptionally stressed, he offers to take care of him so he can relax too.
Today is one of those nights that Elvis needs "tiny time". Austin put his apron away and came up to Elvis who was grumbling angrily while tossing his shoes off and sitting at the kitchen table. "Hey baby, I made your favorite cookies..." Elvis just glared at him. Austin sighed and came over, putting his hands on his shoulders and leaned down to kiss his head. "Baby, if you need to go down, for tiny time, you can just ask. I don't mind taking care of you tonight if you need it."
"Don't need it!" Elvis grumbled, rubbing at his eyes. "Really baby? You said you had a hard day, I just think this would make you feel better?" Austin said, crouching down so he could get a little more on Elvis' level.
"Don't want to! Not a baby!" Elvis grumbled as he stamped his foot. Austin knew Evls was sometimes self conscious about his headspace. Sometimes he needed to push him into a little. Especially if being down would make him feel better.
"I know you're not a baby. But you don't need to be a baby just to relax. We can upstairs right now and get you in your favorite jammies, have a bottle with vanilla, a nice bath with your ducky... and watch a movie with daddy? Doesn't that sound nice?" A tear rolled down his face as Elvis rubbed his sleeve across his nose, a self explanatory sign he was already feeling a bit little. "Nilla baba and ducky...?" Elvis confirmed. Austin nodded. "And daddy has no problem taking care of you little one, I promise."
Hearing the confirmation that his partner would have no issue being the caregiver for the night, Elvis let out a relieved sob and fell into Austin's open arms for a cuddle.
"Oh lovie, I know. Some days are really hard, hm?" Elvis nodded against his shoulder as Austin rubbed his back. "It's completely alright to have a little cry okay? You're alright. Everything is fine." Elvis nodded and screamed a big sob into his caregivers shoulder, giving in to the smallness swirling around his brain. "Shhh, baby, I know... You're at home, you're safe with daddy and we don't have to do anything you don't want to okay?" Austin comforted. He felt Elvis cling onto him as Austin very expertly at this point picked him up and carried him on his hip to the master bathroom for his bath.
Elvis was settled and quiet only sniffling every few minutes now. Austin leaned down and started the faucet as Elvis clung to him and watched as his spa night was set up.
"You excited?" Austin asked. Elvis just yawned hugely and stuck his thumb in his mouth, exhausted from letting his feelings out. "Ah, you're just sleepy huh? Come on sweet boy." Austin took his boy into his hidden away nursery and into the closet. "Which jammies do want tonight baby?" "Ducky!" Austin chuckled. "You want to match with your rubber ducky? Good choice baby." "Now you gotta stay still okay?" Austin asked as he set Elvis on the changing table to change him out of his clothes he wore that day. Elvis nodded, he was too tired to wiggle and squirm anyway
Austin set the chosen pajamas in the crib and brought the baby into the bathroom and plopped him in the tub. He added a little bit of bubble bath and grabbed the fluffiest towel they had and set it aside while Elvis babbled to his rubber ducky about some sort of submarine adventure his boat toy was going on.
Austin smiled as he saw Elvis finally truly relax for the first time in days. Maybe weeks. Elvis visibly relaxed as his partner massaged the watermelon kids shampoo into his long hair. "There we go baby, does that feel better?" Elvis nodded sleepily, happy just to relax and spend time with his partner and caregiver.
Austin let the baby play for nearly an hour until he clearly felt cold in the bubbly water. Austin smiled as Elvis poked him and looked at him through his long lashes. "Ou' dada, ou', pease?" Austin nodded. "And straight to night night?" Austin joked. Elvis just pouted, completely serious. "Nooo, 'nilla baba and 'uddles first daddy!" Elvis locked his arms around his caregiver as Austin lifted him out of the tub and wrapped him in his duck towel with a hood. "Alright, alright, nilla and cuddles are coming but we gotta brush those teefies first and get in your jammies."
Elvis grumbled and made a face. "Hey, hey, no making faces, that won't get you out of it. Cmon bubby. It'll take two minutes." Elvis sighed but eventually nodded. Austin sat him on the bathroom counter and Austin poked his cheeks to get him to open his mouth so Austin could brush his teeth for him. "Go grrr, show me those teefies! Cmon!" Elvis made a silly face and bared his teeth. "There we go, good job!" Now all cozy in his duck jammies, Elvis sat on his butt and scooted down the steps, wanting to show daddy how he got down the stairs ''like a big boy".
"Alright, one vanilla and milk baba for one little Ellie." Austin said as he gave Elvis his sippy cup and sat next to him, putting a blanket over both of them. Austin opened his arms. "Cuddles lovie?" Elvis smiled around the spout of his sippy cup and settled his back against Austin's chest, pointing at the TV. "Movie, dada?" Austin nodded. "Sure which one?" Elvis smiled like his daddy was the silliest guy on the planet.
"KITTY MOVIE!" He screamed, raising both arms in the air. Austin knew the 'kitty movie' meant the Disney classic, Aristocats. His current favorite. Austin smiled. "Oh, of course, I should've known."
With his favorite movie on, some milk in his favorite cup and snuggles whit his favorite person, Elvis was finally relaxed and feeling good.
