Changes

Alex

Marcus opens the fridge and looks inside "So, what what do we want to eat?" he asks while keeping his eyes on what's inside the fridge. "Well, what options do we have?" I ask in return. He scratches his head while still looking inside the fridge " I guess, I could make some mac n cheese" then he turns his eyes to me and Elliot " What do you think about that?"
"Yeah that sounds great!" I answer enthusiastically and then I look at Elliot, who stands beside me "What do you think buddy?"
"Yeah, sure" he shrugs and I clear my throat to give him a hint. He looks at me confused "what?" he asks. "Remember the rules? No big boy words." I say with a serious tone and he looks at me with a face that says 'Fuck this shit I'm out'.         " Oh! Right..." he sighs and looks down "I'm sorry..."
I put my right hand on his left shoulder and gives him an assuring smile "It's okay. We'll take this step by step and you surely will get used to it in no time. I promise"

He looks at me with a little bit of concern "How do you know that?"

"I just do." I say with confidence and looks him right in the eyes " You don't really have to care about anything because Daddy and I will help you through this, okay?"
"Okay..." he says with a bit hesitation and looks away a little bit embarrassed by what I just said. "It's just that I don't think that I will never be able to call you guys... da... those names.. and I don't know how to talk like... a baby... I just-" he looks down at the floor while saying that and it sounds like he is about to cry. I now hold both of my hands on his shoulders and try to get his attention while I speak to him "Elliot... there is no need to worry about that. Okay? Like I said, we will take this step by step and we will do our best to do this as good as possible for your sake." I talk to him calmly and try to make him look at me "After some time you WILL get used to this lifestyle but if you don't feel comfortable right now to call us by daddy and dada or do other baby stuff then that's okay. But you have to atleast try , if you want this to work. And no matter what, daddy and I will be right by your side and guide you through this." After trying to come through to Elliot , I turn to Marcus who is still standing by the open fridge. "Right Marcus?"

"Absolutely!" He announces while nodding.

Elliot

Right from the start , I had doubts about doing this and I still have some but my friends makes it all feel better. They really care for me and they want what's best for me. After what Alex said to me right now I feel more comfortable and less insecure about this. So, I guess if they are by my side through the whole thing it won't be that bad.

I breath out slowly and turn my head up to look at them "Okay, I will do my best but... I can't promise anything"

They both smile at me. "Good boy" Alex says and ruffles my hair. I try to ignore what he just said but I can't help to cringe a little bit.

"So..." Marcus caughts our attention "I will start the cooking now" he informs while closing the fridge and puts the ingredients on the counter. "Do you need any help?" Alex asks
"It's mac n cheese" Marcus says sarcastically "I'm sure I can make it by myself".
"Okay" Alex says and makes me follow him to the livingroom. He sits down on the sofa and I sit down beside him on the right side.

He turns on the tv and puts on Netflix. "Let's find something we can watch while eating. Okay?"
I just nod and hum because I'm not ready to go there yet.

While he scrolls through Netflix I see so many good movies and movies that I would love to see but we are not gonna watch any of them because the moment he gets to the kids section, he stops. "So, let's see..."

Just as I thought...

After some scrolling we finally decide on a movie to watch and it's called "Finding Nemo" (A/N: I don't really know if this movie is on Netflix so if it's not, let's pretend it is.) I have watched it many times before, when I was younger and it's actually a very good movie.

Not long after, Marcus comes with dinner. He puts down the bowls with food on the table, one for me, one for Alex and one for himself. Then he walks away to the kitchen and comes back with cutlery and drinking glasses for all of us. A fork for him, a fork for Alex and... a spoon for me. I get it. I'm  supposed to be a baby.

Then he puts the drinking glasses down on the table. One for him, one for Alex and one for me. Right after putting down my glass he raises his eyebrows "Oh! Right! I forgot." He exclaims and takes my glass away and puts my- I mean a sippy cup there instead. Right... "There you go" he says and walks away to the kitchen. He then comes back with a bottle of coke and some apple juice, which I think is for me.
"So, I got some coke which is for me and you" he says and looks at Alex "And I also got some apple juice for Elliot" he says and looks at me "because I thought that babies don't drink coke. Right?".
Alex nods "Yes, that's great but...do you have a bib or something?"
Markus wrinkles his eyebrows " Wha- no I don't... but..."
"It's okay" Alex says "One time without one won't hurt" he turns to me and smiles "right bud?"
I can't with this... I'm gonna die from embarrassment... no cap.
Without saying anything I just hide my face in my hands.
This is gonna be a long weekend...
