In fact, I lovehimso much.
I just haven’t told him yet.
Everything about our relationship happened so quickly. From that first night at his apartment, to exploring age play, tovisiting The Grove and making friends with other kinky people together…it’s been a lot to process in such a short time. But I’ve never been happier. None of it has felt like hard work or like my boundaries have been pushed too far. Not even the diaper thing, not that Bear wears them often. But after he admitted that he enjoys it when he’s deep in Little space, I wanted to try for him. And, hey, maybe that’s just another sign of how much I love him.
Tonight it all seems to fully click.
Bear is it for me.
Yes, he’s young, but he’s my person. He’s the one I want to be with forever. I even took him to meet my parents last weekend, and they adored him, too. Even when he slipped up and called me Daddy in front of them. They just rolled with it. (They’re the actual best.)
“Hey, sweetheart.” I tug him by the hand, preventing him from following the rest of the group toward the stairs leading to the themed rooms. “Wait a minute.”
It feels ridiculous to be doing this spontaneously, but if I don’t tell him now I might explode. Especially when he turns those big blue eyes on me and asks, “What’s wrong, Daddy?” in the same sweet, innocent voice he used the night we met.
It was never an act with him.
Tugging him into the hallway away from the main area of the club, I answer honestly, “Nothing’s wrong, Bear. I just…I just wanted to tell you that I love you.”
He blinks rapidly, then seems to catch himself, giving his head a shake before he launches his smaller body at mine. “I love you, too, Daddy.” He sniffles, clinging to me. “I think I’ve loved you since the night you saved me.”
“So dramatic,” I tease with a decidedly watery chuckle of my own. Still holding him, I lick my lips, nervously asking, “I know this is sudden, but…would you like to move in with me?”
Bear squeals right next to my ear, making me wince, before he pulls back to bounce on the balls of his feet. “Yes, Daddy! Yes please! Oh, we can go home and pack right now! I’ll pack my clothes, and my toys, and?—”
I laugh and tug him back in for another hug, shaking my head. “We have time, sweetheart. Why don’t we stay and enjoy Littles’ Night for a bit first?”
It’s our first time visiting an event of its kind, and Bear’s been looking forward to it.
“My house isn’t going anywhere, baby. We’ve got more than tonight.” My thoughts flash back to that night when I found him hitchhiking. When, after I took him home and we talked, he told me that we’ve got time to work things out together. That hasn’t changed. “We’ve got forever.”
“Just as long as you don’t go falling in love with any other hitchhikers, Daddy,” he teases playfully.
Lifting his hand, I brush my lips over his knuckles. “You’re the only one for me, Bear. Always. I promise.”
