Babyboy [Male! x Dream Daddy]

Chapter Two: Comfort

With the soft symphony of chirps resounding from outside his bedroom window,Y/n finally decided to drag himself out of bed and start his day.

He had to admit he would have preferred to get up a little earlier but his night-terror really got to him . ..

After a quick visit to the bathroom,he started getting dressed into his black trousers and red button up shirt; he couldn't have breakfast just yet as he needed to run by the supermarket for his basics.

He knew he missed something important last night!

Still rather tired Y/n ran his fingertips through his h/c locks before driving to the most familiar store he managed to find whilst moving in.

Thankfully fate seemed to be in his favor as it wasn't packed nor completely a wasteland.

Grabbing a shopping cart he took his time to walk around to grab some milk,bread and some eggs; that was until he saw a discount sale on cinnamon and apple muffins-

Gazing over at the other side of the store,he felt a soft thump like sound from his trolley; averting his famished eyes from the bargain he realized he crashed into a man!

Turning around the taller,well build man turned around; oh god he has a baby strapped to him too-!

Quickly apologizing profusely Y/n could feel his anxiety flaring up, he knew he shouldn't have allowed himself to get distracted; his forehead broke out into a soft sweat.

"Hmm? You're cool bro, just take it easy next time" he smiled back em-pathetically,"I haven't seen you around here have I, you the new guy?" he questioned with a friendly smile.

God,how could they all be so social-able and friendly?!

Not to mention hot-!!

"I-I ughh yeah, just thought I'd stock up and get some breakfast . . . I'm Y/n L/n" he responded rather flustered, his eyes falling down to the adorable and rather dazed baby staring at him.

"Nothing like a healthy breakfast to get the body moving,heheh; the names Craig and this little one is River" he chuckled softly,shaking his hand noticing his eyes averting down to one of his pride and joys.

"She's adorable,heh hey River"he mumbled smiling gently at her,her response; merely blinking in a rather confused manner.

Chuckling softly Craig took one of River's hand and made a gentle waving motion,"Gotta get going Y/n, I'll see you around yeah?" he grinned.

"Yeah sure" he smiled,waving back at little River.

Parting ways,Y/n decided to take advantage of that awesome discount sale; chucking in two packets of muffins into his cart.

Ah the joys of muffins, so simple yet so delectable.

Making his way to the last free checkout,a large man in a green hawaii print shirt pushed in front with a smug grin.

Did he just??

Really??

Wow

Charming,absolutely charming-

Not wanting to make any enemies he let out a frustrated sigh and waited for him to leave before moving up to get his groceries scanned and paid for.

Yikes, he really needed to watch what he bought in the future-

His wallet now full of nothing but a$20 note and some shrapnel he exited the shopping center to load up his car and return home.

Within 10 minutes of being home he had created the fanciest omelette ever,gee independence was a real delight.

Flopping onto his lounge he checked his notifications,no new commissions; dang-

Glancing around at his lounge room he wandered about what to do for the rest of the day, it was only 11:30am after all.

He had heard that there was a nice mall in town,maybe he could go and kill some time and even hand out some business cards out to potential clients and make some friends?

Motivating himself with the possibilities of his potential encounters,he got up from the lounge to collect his car-keys; making sure to not bring his entire small fortune.

15 minutes later he found a small parking space to squeeze into,before he walked inside completely mesmerized by the sheer gigantic nature of the mall.

It was really different from his hometown.

Not that it was a bad thing-

Surrounded by various boutiques,florist and home-ware stores; Y/n took a stab in the dark and decided to walk into the edgy store,Dead,Goth & Beyond.

Not knowing what to expect,he glanced around at the cool retro band shirts and banners as well as Gothic fashion pieces and tons of hair spray.

Man, do they know my childhood or what?

Looking through the bargain bin he couldn't help but eavesdrop on the rather rude cashier and a dark and handsome figure at the checkout; his voice tender and somewhat raised in dismay.

He couldn't help but wonder what had got him so upset?

He knew it wasn't his business but he couldn't help it,he wanted to defuse the situation; despite knowing too well it wasn't his position to.

Glancing up at them every so often,he watched them carefully; he knew he was just browsing but he couldn't help but feel he was imposing . . .

"W-Well, good day to you!"the Gothic pale man spat rather flustered upon learning he had just argued with the head manager.

For a brief moment his eyes made contact with his own,he couldn't believe how pale and handsome he was; although this was a Gothic store after all -

The strangers eyes softened for a brief moment before giving a small nod and making his swift exit.

Deciding not to buy anything he wandered around through the various other stores.

Was it just him or all the guys he crashed into were all rather handsome?

They're probably married though-

Or straight idiot geez-

Way to be a buzzkill Y/n, you literally moved in yesterday-

Walking back to his car rather relaxed but somewhat disappointed to not pass out all his business cards nor find anything he really liked he sat down in his seat to quickly check his notifications.

1 New Message

Checking the ID he was pleasantly surprised, it was Joseph!

Tomorrow at lunch I'll be holding a barbecue lunch for the cul de sac and would love if you could come and meet everyone! Although I do ask you bring a platter of something- Joseph

Although he wondered how the heck he knew where to find his contact details he couldn't pass up the prospect of a free lunch.

How could he say no?

Quickly texting back he leaned back,he was starting to get rather comfortable here.

I guess things are gonna start sizzling!
