(cg/l, little space)

patrick frowned, watching pete go into their shared office to work on some stupid project. he had been doing that a lot lately- working and ignoring patrick in the time. sure, after he would finish for the night, he would cuddle with patrick until morning- when he would leave to work again.

patrick huffed, crawling out of bed to find his favorite stuffie that pete had got him when he first learned patrick was a little. "vanessa!" patrick giggled, holding the stuffed bee to his chest. "you and me is going to have soooo mush fun! 'cause daddy a big butt." he mumbled the last bit with a frown.

patrick had been wanting to be small for a little while, but he refused to say anything to pete- especially while he is always working. either way, he decided he would go on and be little by himself- it would not be the first time, besides, he was good at taking care of himself.

patrick took vanessa, his favorite blankie, paci, and sippy cup to the living room and gently sat it all on the couch. "chocowate milk!" he smiled taking his sippy to the kitchen to get the chocolate milk.

"daddy dranked it all!" he pouted, closing the refrigerator door, finding that there was no more milk. "big, stupid, dumbyhead!" he grumbled, stomping around to find something else to put in his sippy.

eventually, patrick made it back to the couch with vanessa, a drink in his sippy, and a disney movie on the tv. "'nessa, wook!" he giggled, pointing to the tv with a happy smile on his face.

pete frowned, hearing patrick sing along loudly to the disney movie. he heard the lisp, he heard the baby voice- he knew patrick was little, and it made him feel awful. he had been working through everything!

pete put down his pen and went out to the living room. "having fun without me, I see." he said with a smirk.

"daddy!" patrick jumped, giggling at the man stood behind the couch. "daddy workin'..." he frowned, his hopes of pete joining him disappearing.

"I'm taking a break, honey." pete said, sitting with patrick. "my baby boy needs me, and I need him too."

patrick smiled, snuggling pete, laying his head on pete's shoulder. "I taked care o' m'self!" he giggled, smiling at pete happily.

"yeah, I see! you even got your own drink!" pete said holding up the sippy cup next to him. "did you make a mess?"

"nuh uh!" patrick said proudly.

"good boy!" pete smiled, holding up his hand.

"t'anky!"patrick giggled, slapping his hand to pete's.

"of course, honey." pete said softly, keeping patrick close.

they went quiet, watching the movie together- patrick singing along with the songs.

nap time soon came around, and while patrick slept, pete started on his work again. though, taking that break was a great idea.
