Coloring was better.
“We can go over to my house so I can show you some interesting things you might want to try, or we can play a gamelike a boardgame, or you can show me more of your toys. I know you said you had some.”
Some. I needed more.
Oh.
“What kind of stuff at your house?” Other boy stuff? “Who played first?”
Daddy Bastian twitched his lips but he knew it was serious. “No one. Do you remember when I said I visited the store that had special little stuff?”
“Yes. With your friends.” Just friends. Not a Daddy kind of friend. “Did you buy stuff for a special little?”
I wasn’t going to share Daddy Bastian.
“No. I just thought they looked fun, so I bought them.” Daddy Bastian shrugged likeoh well. “I knew I might not go back to a place like that anytime soon, so I picked out a few fun things I thought a little might like.”
“Just in case?” Did Daddies buy just-in-case stuff? “We just share toys. Not people.”
He had to remember that.
“Just in case.” Daddy Bastian made an X over his heart. “Cross my heart.”
Whew.
Daddy Bastian wasn’t playing pretend.
“Stuff.” Yes. I wanted to see stuff. “Show me your fun stuff.”
I was going to visit Daddy Bastian’s house.
“I look big.” I pulled out my shirt and showed him my clothes. “I don’t have little ones but that’s okay. I can be little in my shirt. Littles wear pants too.”
Nodding, Daddy Bastian ran his hand over my head to pet me like I was a puppy. Snuggling and looking cute was good advice. Eventually I was going to have to tell Terrence. “That’s right. If you want clothes that make you feel special then we can buy some, but you can be little no matter what you’re wearing.”
“Even naked?” I didn’t sit on Daddy Bastian’s lap, but I wiggled closer. “Some littles online said naked stuff means big.”
What did Daddy Bastian think about that?
“Oh.” Daddy Bastian did the Daddy blink that Enzo did sometimes. It was funny on Daddy Bastian too, but I didn’t laugh this time. “Well, it’s personal preference and there’s no right or wrong. Some littles mean naked…well…naked happy time has to be when they’re feeling grown-up. Some littles can have happy naked time while they’re little…like in the bathtub. As long as the Daddy knows what the little’s limits are then there’s no right or wrong.”
“Limits are important.” I was going to be good about sharing mine once I figured them out. “I think I’m gonna like baths. I think I’m gonna like bubbles too.Do you like baths?”
Innocent.
Innocent.
Not being naughty.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Daddy Bastian sighed, but I didn’t smile or giggle. “You ask…good questions. Yes, you ask good questions. I approve of littles who love bath time and I think that happy baths are probably fun too. But the littles I’ve…the littles I’ve met were not the happy bathtime type.”
Oh, Daddy Bastian’s littles hadn’t been happy naked ones?
