We can't get a pet🍼

Little: Seungmin

Caregivers: Stray Kids

No one's POV.:
Stray Kids had been busy lately without the chance of having the little in their group slip. They'd only have a bit more than one week till they'd get a week off and really hoped Seungmin would be able to hold out until then but as fate would have it, the vocalist couldn't. Being more than overdue, he slipped into his headspace on the Sunday a week before their longer break. It wasn't a free day but their schedule wasn't as tight that day, so he was able to go back to the dorm early. Being the first member to return to the dorm, Seungmin changed into sweatpants before going to raid Chan's closet for a hoodie. He wasn't sure what he wanted to do first as it had been a while since he had last been little. Chewing on his bottom lip, the vocalist dug through his box of little gear and pulled out his purple sippy cup. He had a feeling that something was missing but he couldn't tell what, so he decided to get himself a drink first. Waddling to the kitchen to fill his sippy cup, Seungmin pouted. He missed his caregivers. Sure, he was an independent little but that didn't change the fact that he loved being taken care of. Screwing the lid back onto his sippy cup, the vocalist took a few sips before breaking into a smile. Performing a little, wiggly happy dance, he took his sippy back to his room and sat on his bed. He was craving some cuddles and knowing he was home alone, he lifted all of his pillows in search of his plushie. Seungmin had this cute, very soft stuffed puppy, which would always be by his side when he slipped. Sadly, this time, he couldn't find it.

Another twenty minutes of searching later, Seungmin still hadn't found his puppy and felt incredibly lonely. Tearing up, he went through his box of little gear again and pulled out his pacifier in hopes of comforting himself. The pacifier sparked a memory, which sent the little scrambling to his feet, rushing over to his closet. He remembered stuffing his puppy between his clothes, so he wouldn't accidentally look at it and slip at an inconvenient time. Seungmin beamed when he pulled his stuffed friend out between the clothes, snuggling it to his chest. Taking a closer look, he noticed the fur covering the puppy's eyes and carefully brushed it away, so it could see again. The little climbed back onto his bed and settled in with his puppy, blanket and tablet. Occasionally taking a sip of his juice, Seungmin watched cartoons and sucked on his pacifier. From time to time, he talked to his puppy about the cartoon, speech slurred behind the shield of his paci. It kept him occupied for some time but he couldn't help feeling lonely again. His puppy not reacting in any way shape or form, making the little awfully aware that he had been talking to an inanimate object. How badly Seungmin wished to have a real puppy, a friend that would listen to him when his caregivers weren't there, a little fluffball that would lick his face to cheer him up if he felt down and a companion to play with. Considering Chan and Hyunjin had raised dogs before and Minho was used to having pets too, it surely would be easy to convince his hyungs to adopt a puppy that could live with them at the dorm, right?

Seungmin waited impatiently for the rest of the group to return after their schedule, the question if they could adopt a pet burning on his tongue. The little was convinced they'd say yes, so he hoped his hyungs would get back early. They might even make it to the closest animal shelter before closing time if they left right away as soon as the others got back. It'd be as easy as that and Seungmin might already have a puppy to cuddle with in his bed by the time he needed to sleep. At least that was what little Seungmin thought, unaware of how complicated it was to adopt a pet. The moment he heard the front door open, the vocalist was on his feet, skidding towards the entrance on his fluffy socks. Crashing into Chan, he almost knocked the leader over if it wasn't for Minho and Changbin to catch the pair. The pacifier held between his teeth didn't go unnoticed by his friends and Minho was quick to pick the little up after taking off his shoes. They had already expected him to slip at some point, though they had only planned on it a week later.
