What in the world was Daddy up to now? “Sneaky Daddy, what are you gonna make?” It would be fun to watch Daddy all sweaty, lifting heavy stuff. Shirtless…
“Well for starters, I know a little bunny who needs his own playroom to hop around in. Maybe a playground in the backyard. This Daddy has waited a long time to find his boy and he’s not letting him go.”
“Daddy,” the tears fell and wouldn’t stop. No one ever gave me anything of my own I mean, Jobe made sure I had a safe place to live which was more than I could ever ask for. Now Daddy wants to make me all these fun things to keep his boy happy. “I thought you were doing work stuff. You don’t have to do all those things just for me. I’m happy with you, not the things you give me.” Bun-Bun and Daddy bear and the toys I got for Christmas were way more than I ever had in my entire life. “I’m not a greedy boy.”
“I know that, sweet Bunny,” Daddy hugged me and kissed my cheek. “You deserve the world and the fact you appreciate the simplest of things makes me want to do even more for you.”
Jobe and Daddy Stanley had some boxes and tape in their storage unit they gave us. After dinner we loaded them up and Daddy buckled his Bunny in then we were off to change my life forever.
Please, whoever is listening, don’t let me screw this up.
Chapter Four
Crispin
“Bunny, there isn’t much left to load up.” And very little room remained in the SUV for us. “Are you and Goldie ready to go?” Beck nervously glanced around the condo, chewing on his finger. “Quit chewing on your fingers. I promise, we’ll come back this weekend and get whatever is left.” Which will only be a handful of things. My sweet boy definitely lived a minimalistic lifestyle and right now I am thankful for that. Now, it was my turn to spoil him, and I had the perfect space for that.
“’Kay Daddy.”
“I’ll get Goldie while you lock up.” Goldie lived in a simple fishbowl with colorful rocks at the bottom. Beck kept her tank nice and tidy just as his condo was. For a brief moment I wondered if I’d ever have to tell him to clean up his toys. My sweet boy was an anomaly in the age-play lifestyle for certain.
I poured half the water out of Goldie’s tank, hoping for less chance for spillage during the drive home. The house wasn’t that far and as long as we avoided the strip cutting across town, we’d make it home in about twenty minutes.
“Buckle up, Bunny, then Daddy will hand you Goldie’s bowl.” Normally my job is to buckle my sweet boy in, and one I loved to do, but alas, Beck would have to do it himself this one time while I clutched Goldie’s tank. “Okay, hold it nice and tight.”
“I promise, Daddy.”
I kissed his forehead then we headed out of the parking garage. Keeping to the speed limit made the drive a few minutes longer, but it was more than worth it. Beck whispered sweet musings to his beloved fish along the way, letting her know how much she’d love their new home. This boy and that big heart of his. Only a few weeks in and he completely owned me.
“Bunny, do you think Goldie would like a bigger tank?” I had just the place we could put it but as Goldie’s pet parent, it was Beck’s choice to make.
“Hmm, I dunno. What do you think, Goldie?” He asked her then paused as though listening to her response. “She’d like that, Daddy. Maybe we can get a bubble wand thingy in it too. Goldie likes bubbles. When can we shop for it? I want to get it for her, so it has to be within my budget.”
The level of cuteness just amped up with the firm set of his jaw. He wasn’t budging on this.Hewould be the one to purchase the new tank. “Whenever you’d like. We can view a few online, then pick a couple of favorites, and visit the local stores to choose from there.”
“Okay, sounds like another good Daddy plan.”
“Little one, wait for Daddy to come around and take Goldie before you try to get out please.” He squirmed the second we pulled into the garage.
“Yes, Daddy. I’m a good boy.”
“You really truly are, sweetheart. Let’s get Goldie settled in, then we’ll unload the car so you can too.” With Goldie safely in Daddy’s clutches, he did a cute little shimmy and danced his way inside. How had I gone so long without this much happiness in my life?
“Whoa,” Beck’s eyes widened when I opened the back of the SUV. “That’s like master level Tetrising, Daddy.”
“One of a few talents I possess. I’ve been known to play a video game or two in my day,” Beck giggled. “Just set the clothes on our bed and the toy bins in the living room. I’ll make space in the closet so we can hang everything up.” Together we had it unloaded and put away in no time.
“Daddy, can we bring my little bookshelf for my toy bins this weekend?”
“Yes, we’ll take Daddy’s big truck next time. That should fit everything that’s left.” More than, but I didn’t want him to worry about space. Once I get his playroom done, he’ll be over the moon. Personally, I couldn’t wait to get started. Never had I met a boy more deserving of the world than my Bunny.
“Daddy,” Beck walked into the closet. I’d just hung up the last of his clothes and he let out a big yawn. “I seepy.”
“We had a late-night last night and an early and very long day today. After this busy evening, it’s a wonder you’re still standing. Let’s shower and curl up in bed. Daddy’s gonna work from home tomorrow, Bunny, so we’ll have a lazy day.”
“Yay!” Beck’s cheer wasn’t as impressive as most of his were, but my sleepy boy gave it his all. “Lazy day with Daddy sounds perfect to his Bunny.”
I turned on the shower water to warm, stripped my boy and I, and held him beneath the warm spray as we wound down. “Feeling better, Bunny?”
