"Baby, I could never ever hate you. This is just a learning experience for me. In fact, a learning experience for both of us. I love you so much, okay? I would never leave you,"
"Wub daddy too," Taehyung sniffles.

Taehyung stifles sobs for the nth time that day, Jungkook at work while he slipped into littlespace. His boyfriend doesn't know this, though, even if it's one of their new rules to tell him if he slips.

A bad memory rushes through his mind like a flood: his ex boyfriend. He remembers all the things he said about him, especially little him. 

"You're so annoying."

"Why are you so fucking clingy?"

"You disgust me, freak."

"You aren't normal. Littles aren't normal."

"You're fucking sick, stop acting like a child!"

Taehyung whimpers at the last one, hands over his ears as he curls up into a little ball. Why did he ever think that man was good for him? How? Taehyung doesn't know.

He slips back into bigspace not long after, thankfully. At least he's thankful he doesn't. He doesn't Jungkook thinking he's a burden too.


Jungkook gets home later that day, completely unaware that Taehyung cried, specifically over his abusive ex and the damaging words he told him. He isn't oblivious to the way he's acting, though. This may be his first time being a caregiver, but he's done research and he knows something is wrong. Littles aren't supposed to hide away when they slip, let alone slip once every few months because they refuse to. He doesn't know what to do, he's tried talking to his boyfriend about it and he pushes him away every time.

 "Tae? I'm home," he calls out. 

"In here," his boyfriend replies from the kitchen. Taehyung pulls out bowls for the ramen he made, sniffling some from the crying session he had earlier. Jungkook notices his red face and the sniffle.

"Were you crying while I was at work, love?" He asks, worry etched on his face.

"It was nothing, I just bumped into something really hard," he lies through his teeth. His boyfriend can tell when he's lying, he knows his mannerisms like the back of his hand.

"Why are you lying to me? Did you slip? Is that why?" He questions further.

"Just drop it, Jungkook. Nothing happened." He says, gritting his teeth.

"Why can't you tell me the truth, Tae?"

"Just l-leave me alone!" He yells, voice cracking. He runs upstairs and slams their bedroom door shut, curling up in a ball on their shared bed. He hates himself, anger and sadness rushing through his body. He sits up and screams out of frustration, taking his fist and slamming it against his stomach. He keeps hitting himself all over, angry at himself and slowly slipping.

"S-stupid Tae! Fucking stupid! S-soopid Tae," he yells, voice getting  higher as he slips more.

"Tae?" Jungkook opens the door to find a heartbreaking sight. 

"Tae, stop!" He runs and grabs his hands, forcing them by his sides as he comforts him. Taehyung puts up a fight a couple more seconds then calms down, sobs wracking his body. He curls up on his boyfriend, crying against his chest. He runs his hands through his hair, rubbing his back while he cries.

"Tae-baby, what's wrong?" He quietly asks, still rubbing the little's back.

"Dun wan' daddy to hwate mwe wike wast daddy did," he mumbles. Jungkook his surprised that little Taehyung was there instead of big him, but he gathers himself and continues the conversation.

"Your last daddy must've been really stupid, then. What is there to hate? I love my baby, big or small,"

"Owd daddy d-didn't. Said Tae was a fweak, an' dat he was sick," he says, more tears gathering in his eyes when he says that.

"You are not a freak, and you are not sick. Many people are just like Tae, and your old daddy is mean. He's the sick one."

"W-weally? I's tought daddy hwated mwe," he sniffles.

"Baby, I could never ever hate you. This is just a learning experience for me. In fact, a learning experience for both of us. I love you so much, okay? I would never leave you,"

"Wub daddy too," Taehyung sniffles.

"Daddy needs to talk to big Tae soon about this," he says, rubbing circles on his waist. He nods, resting his head on his caregiver's chest. 

"Does Tae want to go eat and then play with his toys until big him comes back?" He suggests. Taehyung nods enthusiastically, jumping up and running off to the playroom; his tears long forgotten. Jungkook smiles, going to find him and glad he was a little cheered up.

He loves Taehyung, little and big him.
