Chapter Text
“I have a surprise,” Dream said as he walked into the house, the rest of the family sitting in the living room.
“This could either be super amazing or super terrifying. Proceed,” Sapnap teased.
Dream glared at him before patting around his pockets, trying to find something.
“Do any of you have plans in three days?” Dream asked, and they all shook their heads. “Next week?” The same reaction, well, other than George.
“I was going to stream in the next couple of days. But I don’t have to,” George mumbled, glancing at the other two next to him before back at Dream.
“Perfect. Because we’re going to Disney,” Dream smiled, holding up the passes. Sapnap shot up off the couch while George and Punz stared at him for a moment. Then, Punz was following Sapnap off the couch.
“Seriously?! Let me see-” Sapnap asked, as if he hadn’t been a couple of times before. Dream laughed, handing him his pass and then handing Punz theirs. “For how long?”
“I got two hotel rooms, connected on sight, and we’re staying for a week. It’s the slowest time of year for disney, which is partially why I chose now, so we didn’t have to deal with so many people. Foolish and Karl will be joining us for a couple of days. But Foolish insisted on getting their own hotel rooms. They won’t be able to join us until later though because of filming.”
“You just… impulsively went out and got disney tickets?” George laughed, standing and accepting his from Dream’s.
“Well, I promised I’d take you to Disney. And, I think we need a break from this house. I keep seeing the same walls and it’s driving me crazy,” Dream said, “And, if our littles regress, it’ll be easier to keep you entertained for a little while. I called ahead, the staff, actors, all of them regularly, if not daily, get age regressors and they’re accepted around the parks.”
Sapnap and Punz glanced at each other with cheeky grins as they heard Dream talk, both giddy just to go to Disney again. “When do we go down?” Sapnap asked.
“Three days. You have three days to pack and bring anything you want,” Dream said, and Sapnap nodded. “And, if Mr. I was going to stream really wants to do some work. You can record one day that we’re at the parks and make a video.”
“I’ll wait until Karl and Foolish join us, but I think that youtube vlog could be fun,” George hummed.
“You’re copying Tommy,” Punz teased, and George glared at them.
“My video will be better than Tommy,” George declared.
“I’m sure it will, since it will never be posted,” Dream teased, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend, who whined and tried wiggling out of his arms.
“No! Get off of me! You can’t just say that and expect cuddles!” George groaned, and Sapnap laughed, before taking Punz’s hand and pulling him to the stairs. “They’re gonna love it,” George whispered as the two made it into Sapnap’s room. “Both big and little.”
“I know,” Dream smiled, looking down at George. “And so will you. It’ll be a repeat date of the fair. Just bigger, better, and with the other two, and then eventually, with Karl and Foolish.”
George chuckled, leaning up to kiss Dream gently. “Sounds perfect to me.” And Dream smiled in return.
Upstairs, Sapnap and Punz were basically whispering despite having abandoned the other two downstairs. “This could be perfect,” Sapnap said. “It’s Disney . It’s magical. What if something magical happens and suddenly the two pairs become one four?” Sapnap said.
“I don’t think I want to be heartbroken at Disney,” Punz responded.
“It’s Dream ,” Sapnap argued. “C’mon. Think about it. One of us get’s one away from the other, and we have our moment, and then we switch, then, we all come together to talk. Throw some food in there, we all love to eat, devour a churro while you do it.”
Punz chuckled at the idea, “Sap, they’re not even sure about us ,” Punz reasoned again. “I would love to become a polyam with them. Especially at Disney. But… I don’t think you’re seeing the negative effects.”
“We’re not hiding it,” Sapnap reminded. “You’ve kissed me plenty of times in front of both of them. Sure, we haven’t outright said anything, but I’m sure they know. And you know I don’t like thinking negatively about things like this because then it sends me into spirals and I never get anything done. So,” he clapped his hand gently as he leaned in closer to Punz. “entertain the idea?”
“Okay,” Punz smiled. “Why don’t we plan this out during the trip once we get there? Every night, when we retreat back to the hotel, we’ll talk a little more. And on the final day, we’ll do it.”
Sapnap smiled, “Really?” He asked, and Punz nodded. Sapnap giggled, pulling Punz into a hug and overtop of him. They both laughed, and Punz pulled back slightly hovering over Sapnap. Sapnap leaned up and kissed Punz gently, and of course they returned it. A knock pulled them apart, and Sapnap shouted out a “come in” as they both sat up properly.
“Hey, so, remember when you told me Pandie was kinda worn down and you needed to get ‘em washed and restitched?” Dream asked as they stepped into the room.
Sapnap nodded, “Yeah, I haven’t been able to find ‘em anywhere though,” Sapnap said, scooting to the end of his bed.
“That’s my fault,” Dream said, pulling the bear out from behind his back.
Pandie was now in perfect condition. Fur was washed, eyes were shiny, there were no limbs threatening to tear off, no loose stitching. Pandie even looked restuffed, and Sapnap reached his hands out for the bear immediately.
“I swear it’s the same bear,” Dream said, and Sapnap laughed as they handed it to him and Sapnap inspected it. It was the same bear, Sapnap could tell. One of the ears had less hair because Sapnap liked to chew on it when he regressed and didn’t have a pacifier. “My mom just… knows how to fix up stuffed animals. And when I told her how much this meant to you, she offered to fix ‘em up. So… I kinda snuck him away.”
Punz smiled, watching two and leaning his chin against Sapnap’s shoulder gently. “It’s perfect,” Sapnap smiled, opening his arms for a hug. Dream leaned down and accepted it, only for both Punz and Sapnap to attack and pull them onto the bed. They all laughed as Sapnap had the wind knocked out of him. George walked in at the perfect moment. “Dogpile?” George asked, before carefully jumping on Dream’s back and suffocating Sapnap and Punz more.
“Jesus, this was a mistake,” Sapnap said breathlessly, and Dream laughed as he lifted George, on his back, off the other two and dropped down next to them. Sapnap groaned as he leaned more against Punz, lifting Pandie and setting the bear down on his tummy. “Thank you, though. Seriously. I was going crazy thinking I’d lost ‘em.”
“Yeah, he didn’t want to tell you,” Punz supplied, and Sapnap whacked them on the stomach gently.
“Well, now you’ve found ‘em,” Dream smiled, and George shared it as he lifted his head and leaned it against Dream to look at the other two. “You two are comfortable going, aren’t you?” Dream asked.
“Oh yeah,” Sapnap said as Punz nodded.
“Definitely,” Punz agreed, and Dream chuckled.
“Alrighty, but we do have to wake up earlier to drive over and check in,” Dream said and the two groaned at the idea of waking up early.
“Can we sleep in your room then?” Sapnap asked, and George snorted. “What if I can’t sleep the night before! Dream’s driving? They’re the only one who needs to sleep, the rest of us can pull an all-nighter.”
“Nobody’s pulling an all-nighter,” Dream put his foot down for that one. “If you’re so insistent, I’m sure I can convince George.”
“I’ll only say yes if I have unlimited spending power at disney,” George said.
“Easy, you were already getting that,” Dream said, and George’s eyes widened.
“You’re joking right? Not with your money,” George said, sitting up.
“I was going to give you all a card,” Dream said, and Geoge slapped them on the arm. “Ow! That was mean!”
“Can you learn money management at all?” George asked, and Dream scoffed.
“I pay for most of your shit anyway!” Dream reasoned, “George, babe, I’ve had this trip planned since before you got here. I’ve been saving a lot every month just to do this. I’m not as stupid as you think I am.”
“To be fair, you would’ve done that either way,” Sapnap reasoned, and Dream shrugged.
“Each of you is getting a debit card, 15,000 on each. Though there is a daily spending limit, which is 2,000,” Dream explained. “Which, knowing George, he’ll run up every day.”
“Fuck off, I have my own money,” George said, punching Dream gently again.
“I know, you all do. But mine’s there just in case you don’t wanna spend your own,” Dream said, trying to defend himself against George by pushing him back again.
“Get him!” Punz exclaimed, and they all teamed up on Dream in punching and tickling him.
Crying out, Dream curled up to try to escape it all. They laughed, unmatched and defeated as he hit the bed twice to surrender. “What’d I do!?” Dream cried while laughing as they all disbanded.
“You’re being too nice,” Sapnap decided, shrugging. “Also I think we’re bored, and you’re an easy target.”
“Ugh, you all wear me out,” Dream groaned, sitting up once again. George smiled, leaning his head against their shoulder once again.
“You love us anyway,” Punz reminded.
“Yes, I do,” Dream agreed reluctantly with a sigh before laughing gently. “Oh, Punz, I have a gift for you too.”
“Oh no,” Punz said, and Dream huffed.
“Why is that everyone’s immediate reaction when I say I have something for them?” Dream whined as he got up, though George stayed behind.
“I promise, you’ll love it,” George said, and Punz smiled at him as Dream walked out of the room. It didn’t take too long for them to return with something in a box, wrapped up in wrapping paper with little bees on them.
“Technically, it’s been exactly 6 months since you regressed with us for the first time. Despite your birthday in a few months, I wanted to give this to you now, since I gave Sapnap a little gift on his 6 months regressing with us a little while ago.”
“You wrapped it?” Punz asked, and Sapnap giggled, putting his chin on Punz’s shoulder.
“I wrapped it, actually,” Sapnap said, taking that credit. “Open it.”
Punz was careful opening it, despite the paper probably being tossed or saved for a firepit later. Inside, there was a white box, and inside that white box, there was a soft blanket with embroidered bee and panda cuddling patterns. But, in the corner that was presented at the opening of the box. “Little Bee” was embroidered in Dream’s cursive handwriting.
“Oh my god,” Punz whispered, touching the soft blanket.
“It may have made more sense to give to little you, since little you is obsessed with Bees and Sapnap, or Pandas. But, I know that it’s been a struggle to truly accept him, your regressed self. So, I’m hoping this helps with that. Big or little, you’ll always be our little bee, and you’ll always have pandas to snuggle with,” Dream said softly. Punz lifted the blanket out of the box and held it close to them as Sapnap hugged him from behind.
“Thank you,” Punz whispered, voice cracking as their eyes filled with tears. Dream and George attack him with hugs on both sides, each caregiver kissing a temple while Sapnap nuzzled into their back, squeezing tightly. “Did you embroider this?” Punz asked, looking at the words.
“Mhm,” Dream smiled, “George made the designs to send in. Sapnap picked out your favorite fabric and wrapped it of course, and I added this when it first came in. I’ve been learning from my mom for a while, so I figured I’d put the knowledge to good use.”
“You made me all fuzzy,” Punz whispered, and Dream chuckled.
“C’mon, little bee,” George whispered, “there we go. There you are.”
“Papa…mm Da,” Punzie whispered, and George smiled, kissing their head again as Punz fell slightly limp against them all.
“Hi, darling,” Sapnap said, and Punzie giggled.
“Hai, Bubba,” Punzie whispered, trying to look back at Sapnap too. “Wookie,” They said, trying to lift the blanket. “Is mes and ‘ous.”
“Yeah, you’re so right, little one,” Sapnap whispered gently, kissing his head. “M’always gonna be here to hold you. All of us will,” Sapnap promised.
“Got that right,” Dream said, running a hand through Punz’s hair. George unfolded the blanket and laid it out over Punz’s frame, allowing the little one to snuggle up in it and curl into Sapnap’s lap.
“Do you want your bee, hon?” George asked, and Punz nodded, looking up at George with big innocent eyes. “Okay, I’ll be right back. I think Da should get you a bottle, yeah?”
“An’gle melk?” Punz asked, hopeful.
“Of course, only the best for our baby,” Dream smiled, and the two caregivers got up to do their respective jobs while Sapnap held Punz close and turned on the TV to Spongebob.
“I’m very proud of you, Pub,” Sapnap whispered, and Punz looked up at him. “You’ve grown so much. Remember when you were scared and quiet?” He asked, and Punz nodded slowly. “Look at you now. Snuggled up, not afraid anymore right?” Punz smiled and shook his head. “So very proud of you.” Sapnap kissed his head, and Punz snuggled in more.
“Wove you, Bubba,” Punz whispered.
“I love you more, HoneyBee,” Sapnap whispered back.
