Elliot's pov

Coming down from my high, I was cuddled up to Vance. Milo had his feet in my lap, laying against Declan. I was delighted with the boys and watching the twins, Adorjan and Kalon, in their stages of pleasure.

Vance was holding me close to his chest and running his hands through my hair.

Watching the other boys finish at separate times, not long after, Declan picked up Milo, letting Vance know they would take the upstairs bathroom. Vance nodded, letting them go before he laid down, pulling me on top of him. The rest of the boys cleaned up their messes before snuggling into each other's arms and laying down in Vance's bed.

I buried my face further into the crook of Vance's neck as he drew circles on my back. That was the last I remembered before I slipped off into sleep.

I woke up in tears. My body was warm and covered in sweat.

The bed was empty, and the sun was shining through the window. I have no clue how long I've been asleep, but - I slipped out of bed to find Vance and tell him about my nightmares.

The boys were gathered in the kitchen Adorjan and Kalon were cuddled up on the couch together, and the twins were in the dining room with Milo.

Declan and Vance were in the kitchen speaking lowly. I didn't want to interrupt, but I wanted my daddy. I slowly walked over, tugging on his shirt. I knew neither of them heard me walk over.

"Oh, hey, little one." Vance smiled as he glanced at me before setting his coffee down.

"How are you feeling?" He picked me up, setting me on the counter.

I shrugged before crashing onto his chest.

"Don't regress right now - it's so much to deal with, Elliot."

Vance's hand brushed my cheek, stopping the echo.

My eyes snapped to his as tears brimmed.

I wasn't entirely sure why I was crying again.

Vance just wrapped his arms around me. He was pulling me close, his handheld on my head.

"What's going on, baby?" He whispers.

"N-nothing - erm, I'm totally fine. Do we have plans today?" I stuttered, attempting to keep my voice deeper.

He glanced at me like he knew something was going on.

"We don't have many plans today - I can tell you them later. The rest of the boys are eating. Can I get you some milk, and maybe you and I go color?"

I had to hold back a gasp of excitement as I nodded eagerly. Vance snickered as he reached into the cabinet, pulling out my blue and green sippy cup.

A squeal escapes my lips as I cover my face with my hands with a blush. Declan laughs before leaving the kitchen. I watched him slip his hand around Milo and kiss Milo's neck.

"Can daddy fuck my baby boy?" Shivers rushed down my spine when Colby's voice echoed in my head.

I slowly left the room, heading up to my room. I grabbed one of my squish mellows on my bed and pulled the green frog to my chest. I sat on the floor with my back to my bed and my face in my stuffie.

There was a soft knock as Vance entered, holding my cup and a few coloring books.

I glanced up and shook my head. He furrowed his eyebrows before setting it down.

"Eli - I can't force you to regress, but I can tell you want to."

"No, I don't," I mumbled. He hummed out as he sat down next to me.

He tried to pull me into his chest, but I only pushed him away roughly.

"Leave me alone."

"Oh..." he spoke softly. I could hear the hurt in his voice. "...okay." He got up slowly. I glanced up once more to see my door click shut.

"Regressing is just a pain in my ass...."

"I-I like being a baby," I whispered as Colby rolled his eyes, pushing me off his lap and onto his couch.

"Can't we do something more effective? Am I pretty horny? You could suck my dick?" He smirked.

"O-oh uhm, okay," I whispered.

Even reading Colby's thoughts, I still stayed with him.

Tears were rushing down my face. I shouldn't have pushed Vance away. I ran up to my door, stopping with my hand at the handle.

I let out a sigh that turned into a choked sob.

The door swung open as Kalon stood on the other side.

"Oh hey, are you okay?" He asked softly as he cupped my cheek, making me glance up at him. I bit my lip to hold back the sobs.

I shook my head as he sighed and pulled me into his arms.

"I-is Vance okay?"

"I think so...he seemed fine. Why?"

"I pushed h-him away, and he seemed hurt," I whispered as my blurred vision.

"Let's go find him." Kalon smiled, holding my hand. We stopped in his room, which was empty.

"Maybe his office?" I offered, and Kalon agreed. We walked downstairs to his door and knocked softly as we opened it. He glanced up from his papers. His glasses sat on the bridge of his nose. His soft stubble was highlighted by the way his lamp was pointing.

Vance was extremely handsome. All the boys thought so. His muscles were silhouetted from his light t-shirt.

"Boys." He spoke firmly.

"What trouble are you getting into?" He raises his eyebrows, glancing at me and then back to Kalon.

"I think you should try to talk to Eli again," Kalon suggested as he took my chin and kissed me on the forehead softly. I couldn't help but give a soft smile at the gesture.

"Eli, C'mere." He waved me to come to him, and he picked me up, setting me on his lap so my back was against his desk.

He pushed my head down onto his chest.

"Co-Colby and regressing- " I started to stutter.

"Shhhh." He hushed me. Petting my back softly, I started to melt into his warm touch.

He knew what I needed. I needed to be held. And being held is exactly what I got.
