After they left the ice cream shop Tyler had completely fallen into little space. Ashley eased him down, praising him and calling him little names while they waited in the ice cream shop.

He ended up demanding to hold Ashley's hand the whole ride to Brendon's house while he kitten licked his ice cream cone happily. He was a slow eater, so his strawberry ice cream ended up melting all over him and sticking to his basketball shorts.

Ashley giggled and helped him clean up while he pouted, unsure of what to do. She helped get him in the house when they got there too, quickly running and getting out of her seat to go open his door for him. Brendon and Dallon laughed as they took their time.

When they got inside they brought Tyler to the basement and Dallon helped him set up, taking his crayons and colouring book out of his backpack and setting them both in front of him on the floor. The little giggled and thanked him, laying down on his belly and kicking his feet back and forth as he started colouring in animals.

They put a Disney movie on and all got comfortable while Tyler focused on colouring, babbling nonsense and humming songs in a light tone. Ashley frankly really didn't mind disney movies but the boys had both grown tired of them.

Brendon sat beside Dallon, half sitting in his lap with his thighs kicked over his boyfriends while Ashley had a big fluffy blanket around her, cuddling herself in the corner of the couch comfortably.

Tyler felt comfortable too, he felt small and with his friends around who were all perfectly fine with binge watching kid movies with him all day long, he felt unbelievably safe and that's all he could really ask for.

His hands fisted the crayons messily, clamping around the small objects as he coloured. He ended up with a pacifier stuck between his lips and all his concentration was drawn to the colouring book in front of him. He barely even realized Brendon was sitting down beside him until he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Hi Tiny, having fun?" Brendon asked, crouching down closer so he could watch Tyler draw better. The little nodded and quickly grabbed a red crayon and scribbled in the mane of a cartoonish lion. He stuck his tongue out in concentration, pacifier dropping onto his paper.

He ripped the page out and handed it to Brendon.

"uh-huh, dis ones for you!"

"Really?" Grinned Brendon, looking back at Dallon quickly to see his boyfriend smiling fondly. He grabbed the paper and examined it while Tyler sat back up and crossed his small legs together.

"You's hair is fluffy like a lions." He poked at the mane on the paper and he giggled when he moved his hand to Brendon's hair and threaded his grabby fingers through it. Brendon almost wanted to awe out loud at how cute his best friend was.

"Is it now?"

"Mhm." Tyler hummed in answer before grabbing his colouring book and closing it. "You wan 'keep it?" He asked curiously with big eyes.

"If you don't i'll take it." Shouted Dallon from the couch. Tyler giggled and Brendon rolled his eyes, turning his attention back to his small friend.

"Of course I do little man, i'll hang it on my wall." Brendon said in reassurance, dark eyes examining it some more a smile on his face. The lion was completely red, coloured messily and it was adorable.

"Really?" Tyler asked.

"Yep, right on my door." He smiled and patted Tyler's hair, flattening it slightly and then ruffling it. Tyler pouted but nonetheless smiled as he watched Brendon get up and settle back onto the couch beside Dallon, resting his head on his boyfriends shoulder.

"Hey pumpkin can I have a drawing too?" Ashley called, her phone put to the side. Tyler giggled at the name, so silly. He loved it.

Tyler's eyes widened in excitement at Ashley's words and he opened his colouring book again and flopped down on his belly comfortably. "What animal do you's want Ashy?" He asked as he begun flipping through the pages.

She hums "How about a bunny?"

So he coloured her a bunny, maybe three different ones because apparently his colouring book had multiple and little Tyler couldn't help himself but want to colour in them all. He barely stayed inside the lines even though he tried his best.

Their night went on like that, Tyler colouring and Dallon, Ashley and Brendon keeping him safe while he was little. His headspace had him happy and content and the more time he spent in little space the better he felt.

Subconsciously he knew by Monday morning he'd be facing teachers and basketball and stress. So much stress, but Tyler would enjoy being little as much as he could.

he'd hopefully be little all weekend if Ashley could keep him aged down which really wasn't hard, the moment anyone started treating him like a child, smaller than he was he'd easily start regressing and that was one of his flaws.

He regressed way too easily, which was why he didn't like being a little. He liked the aspect where he got to escape into some other reality but he hated the thought of being small around anyone else but his friends. That's why he had weekends where he'd spend the entire time at the mental age of a four year old.

All so he could avoid getting little at school and completely embarrass himself around his classmates and teachers. That terrified him, people knowing he sucked on pacifiers, his speech became smaller and that he wanted to call someone daddy.

Dallon told him it wasn't a big deal but gosh Tyler disagreed with that. So all his friends agreed that whenever Tyler was starting to feel little at school or in class they'd do their best to age him up. Usually texting him worked and if they were in class together they'd talk him up.

It mostly always worked.

Brendon put Tyler to bed at 11:30PM, tucking him into his own bed with a stuffie and an arrangement of blankets. It was late and really Tyler technically did have a bed time that he'd told them to abide by. 9:30.

They never followed it, Tyler would get bratty and would want to stay up anyways, he definitely wasn't the perfect little that was for sure. He hated rules. Even though the rules they'd made up for him were really easy to follow.

All his friends wondered how Tyler would react with an actual caregiver, he was either an angel, shy and bashful. That's how he was with them at first, when he'd first told them but after he'd gotten comfortable. If he wasn't an angel he was a little brat, Dallon dealt with him best when he raged out in little space. He got sent to the corner once every few weeks.

They all hoped he'd find someone though, they all loved him but they wanted him completely happy and they knew having an actual boyfriend was what he truly wanted.
