May arrived a little quicker than expected, Aaron had started living with Simon around the beginning of March so about three months had passed. Even so, Aaron felt comfortable and had gotten used to this new lifestyle.

It was Saturday afternoon and Simon had gone out. He didn't have work, he just left the house for bit, not that Aaron really cared, he had Casper to accompany him and a list of Studio Ghibli movies to binge watch.

There was knock on the door and then a click indicating that it had been opened and Simon entered the house, discarding his shoes at the door and locking it behind him.

"Sup kiddo." He greeted as he made his way to the sofa. He had a shopping bag in one of his hands and a takeout box in the other.

Just recently, Simon had started calling Aaron 'Kiddo'. He had nothing against it, he just felt his throat get dry every time the older Male used it.

"I got something for ya." He said as he set the items in his hands on the coffee table.

"For me?" He questioned, pointing at himself.

Simon opened the shopping bag and pulled out a box with the picture of a cellphone. "No way!" Aaron's eyes dilated at the sight.

"Yes way." Simon chuckled, unboxing it and pulling out the rose gold iPhone. "You always use the house phone to contact me so I thought I should get you your own. This way you'll be able to contact friends and family members." Aaron tensed at the latest bit.

He still hadn't explained to Simon about his situation with his family, or the fact that he didn't have any friends....

It's not that he didn't want to tell him, he just didn't know how to say it. He didn't know how to bring such a topic up. Plus he was afraid he'd just wail for hours if he even mentioned one of his family members.

"Thank you. I'll pay you back when I get enough money." He smiled and gladly took the phone in his hands.

"Pay me back? It's a present. I got it cause I wanted to, so no need to worry about paying me back." Simon said with a genuine smile.

"Thanks a lot." Aaron looked at the device and smiled brightly, he had never owned a smart phone before.

Simon helped him set it up, putting the WiFi up and getting him a data plan as well. The first thing he did when it opened was download Tumblr, he heard that the app had a lot of anime and fandom groups so he was interested in seeing that.

On the same night, he was in the playroom again. This time he had decided to wear the pink overalls with a white T-shirt under. At that point, he had finished reading all the children books and now that he had a cellphone, he decided to look up something that had been lingering on his mind for a while since he met Alan just a few weeks back.

[CGL]

Suddenly, so many pastel soft coloured posts began popping up. He scrolled through them and came across a lot of scenario blogs and then hit one specific one that was actually explaining exactly what a little was.

[Little Space, or simply known as Cg/l is a lifestyle that involves aspects of D/s...

(first page for more clarification)

As he read on, he started earning more and more interest in the topic. Then he looked around the room he was in. "Is Simon a little? Maybe he had one!" His eyes widened. That's when he recalled Alan mention the name 'Delaney'. "Maybe that Delaney was his little...?" He thought long and hard about the it. It made sense. Why else would he hide such a room? It was probably to hide the whole Cg/l stuff right? Then again there was still the possibility of him having a child who was either dead or just not with him anymore.

"Could I be a little?" He looked down at himself and quickly shook his head. "No way!" He denied.

All the images he saw of littles were all cute and soft, he was the exact opposite of that. At least that's what he told himself.

He shut his phone off, he was drowning deep into it and hadn't noticed how late it had gotten. Half passed one already. He got out of the overalls and put on his pyjama pants once he left the playroom.

A week or so later, Aaron had gotten deep into the topic of Cg/l land. He never went into little space or anything like that, but he found it cute and interesting he tried talking to Simon about it. He was really curious to know more, maybe he could meet Alan again and ask him instead.

So one day as they were eating dinner. Aaron decided to be brave and speak up. "How is Alan doing?" He looked up at Simon who sat across from him while cutting his steak.

"That knucklehead? Well he's alive." Simon chuckled, taking a bite of his food. "Why so?"

"Well um...we didn't really start off on the right foot. I just wanted to make sure we could talk again, maybe we can become good friends." He said, trying to sound casual.

"Are you sure?" Simon looked concerned. Aaron gave him a smile and nodded.

"Positive." His smile grin grew wider.

"Alright, I don't have work tomorrow so I can call him and we can go somewhere together." He smiled back.

The next day rolled in pretty quickly. They had decided to meet at a boba café located downtown around five in the afternoon and would head to the zoo afterwards.

Aaron tied his shoelaces at the door and picked Casper up before he exited so Simon can lock the door. They entered the car and in fifteen minutes or so later, they reached the café. They both got in and found Alan sitting by one of the booths and after getting some drinks, they got back into the car and drove towards the zoo.

It was Wednesday so when they reached the place, they didn't expect to see so many kids around the place. It was a lot more crowded than they had expected. Nonetheless, they still enjoyed their time there. The only problem was finding the opportunity to speak to Alan one on one, after what had happened the first time, Simon was very cautious of Alan and wouldn't even let him stand near Aaron.

After thirty minutes or so, they had been with elephants, giraffes, snakes, lions—but they were sleeping—and hippos.

Now they were walking towards the inside to meet the smaller creatures. Th first thing that caught Aaron's eye was an exhibit of bunnies. His eyes lit up and he walked away from Simon and Alan, making his way to the little bits of sunshines.

He crouched down next to one of the little girls that was also beaming at the bunnies and couldn't help but squeal at the adorableness.

"They're so cute!" The little girl next to him exclaimed with a bright smile on her face, reaching her hand to them.

"Aren't they? Which one do you like best?" Aaron asked the girl who then turned to him.

She smiled with her eyes closed, "I can't choose!" She bubbled. "They're just too cute to choose!" She added.

"I know right! Me too." Aaron gave her a bright smile as well and turned back to the cuties.

"Hey." He heard the girl call.

"Mm?" He flattered his lashes in question.

"I got this for my birthday, wanna try it on?" She said to him, pointing at the cute headband on her head. It was a white Hello Kitty headband with the cat ears and a pink bow on the side.

"Oh, sure!" He grinned. The girl took the headband off her light brown hair and placed it on Aaron's head.

"Wow! You looks pretty!" She beamed.

"Thank you." He felt himself blush at the compliment.

"You can have it if you like. Mom got it cause she thought I liked Hello Kitty, but I only like Monster High and Bratz girls.

"Alright, if that's okay with you." He smiled at her. He stood up, "Hey Sy look..." he turned around to see that Simon and Alan were no where in sight.

"Huh? Where did they go?" He asked himself, looking around the crowd of kids who walked around.

"Maxi! It's time to head to the next exhibit!" A women called out.

The girl stood up and gave Aaron a smile. "See you around sir. Have a nice day!" She waved and ran off to the other kids.

"B-bye!" He waved back. "Where are you guys?"
