Stressed Payton Moormeier bromance

Chapter 14

No ones Pov: Little Payton has a new favorite toy and it's Taylers chains. He tugged and twisted at them head resting on Taylers chest he was completely zoned in on them paci in his mouth he didn't even hear the boys talking around him.

"The rest of the guys are going to get dinner soon do y'all want to go" Jaden asked the group

While he got a chorus of yeses Griffin and Tayler shared a look.

"What about Payton"they asked
"What about him" Bryce said
"He's still little" Tayler says like it's so obvious
"He was fine being little in public earlier" Bryce says

"Yeah but the only other people that know about little Payton are Kevin and Harrison and even then they still haven't seen him be little" Griffin says

"It's up to you guys if you take him out if you do we'll stick close keep the others from talking to him much" Noen says

"Hey bud" Tayler says catching the littles attention
"Do you want to go get dinner with everyone" he asks

Payton looks up at the older boy and softly nods his head. The little was hungry he wasn't really thinking about all the people he would have to see if he went.

Tayler gently moved Payton out of his lap and the boys were gathering their wallets and putting on their shoes and Payton just sat on the bed watching.

"Payton bud you gotta get ready" Anthony told him but the little just looked at him not moving.

"Do you want help buddy" Anthony asked carefully and Payton nodded softly.

Anthony went to Payton's suitcase and picked out a simple T-shirt and shorts and helped the boy change out of his onesie and into the clothes he'd picked out.

"Need help with shoes too bud"Anthony asked he received another nod it was a bit startling how still and quite Payton seemed to be.

Once he had the little completely ready he stood him up from the bed and him and the boys made their way out of the room.

Being in a short sleeve shirt with no hoodie and not having his pacifier Payton didn't know what to do he felt stuck between big and little headspace he was so desperately trying to stay little and he was beginning to panic as soon as he was out the door of the room. 

Payton makes it halfway down the hall before he just stops. The boys don't notice right away but when they do Tayler and Griffin come back to check on him.

"Come on bud we got to go"
Payton pouts he releases a whine trying to find his words
"Paci please" he mumbles
"Payton you can't have it when we go out" Griffin tries to tell him but he just whines desperately looking to Tayler for help
"Please" he says again near tears

The boys hearts are breaking seeing how distressed Payton is becoming
"I'm sorry buddy we can't take it with us but it'll be okay we can even get dessert okay" Tayler says softly Gently taking the littles hand.

Payton calms slightly with his hand in Taylers he squeezes it tightly afraid to let go rocking slightly on his feet not quite settled. Griffin gently takes the boys other hand with a smile

"Bub you're okay we're right here" Griff tells him softly
"Do we need to go back to the room we can just have the boys bring us something back" Tayler asks concerned

Payton didn't mean to make the boys worry he try's to shake his head
"Hoodie" he asks softly he just feels overwhelmed and exposed right now
