Hartley tugged on Cisco’s hand as he pulled him into the bathroom. Not bothering to close the door and instead gently taking the pacifier from Cisco's mouth and pocketing it as he shuffled a bit in place.

“Alright, honey, let's see.” He pulled Cisco’s pants down, popping the buttons on his onesie to get to his pull-up underneath. He smiled, already able to tell from the state of the outside of the padding he was gonna be able to shower him in praise and treats for keeping dry. Still he made a big deal as he pulled the pull-up down and saw no wet spots.

“You’re all dry! Good job, puppy!”

Cisco smiled, shifting his hips a little as Hartley got up and kissed him on the cheek for a job well done.

“Sit and go potty, baby boy. Can you do that for me?” He saw the relief in Cisco's eyes mixed with the haze of fuzziness from feeling so little and safe. He was still shifting side to side trying to hold his bladder as he frantically nodded his head.

“Yeah? Then let me see, honey.”

Cisco hurriedly sat on the toilet. It took a few seconds before his bladder started to empty, the sound of his stream hitting the porcelain bowl. 

“Good boy, puppy.” Hartley praised him as he went potty. “Of course you can go potty in the big boy toilet, because you're being such a good big boy for me today aren't you?”

Cisco made a little noise as he nodded. A few more seconds later his stream slowed down before it became just a trickle.

Hartley cooed as he rubbed his hand on his stomach over the pulled up onesie. “You had to go so much, baby. What did I say about holding it and waiting so long? It's a good thing you didn't go in your pull-up or you would have leaked, huh?”

“Mhm,” Cisco hummed, nodding again.

“I know, baby.” He kissed the top of his head, smoothing his hair down. He waited as the trickle stopped. Waiting a few more seconds before checking in.

“All done?”

He got another small nod in return.

He helped him stand and get cleaned up before tucking him back into his pull-up. Onesie was pulled back down over his crotch and buttoned in place along with his pants.

“Good boy, Cisquito.” He pressed a kiss to his forehead, reaching around him to flush the toilet in the same motion.

He gave Cisco one more quick look over, making sure he had him dressed right. 

“Now let's wash our hands, then you can put a sticker on your potty chart for being such a big boy.”

He watched Cisco, encouraging him through the process, putting enough soap in his hand and making sure he washed them long enough. He washed his after, helping Cisco dry off his hands and distracting him with another kiss to his cheek.

“Alright, pup.” Hartley opened the cabinet, reaching for the sticker chart and sheets they kept in there for that very occasion. “Which one do you want, sweetie? Want one of your kitties, your robots, your dinos—”

“Dinos,” Cisco interrupted; a finger pressed to the sheet of dinosaur stickers.

He snorted a little, and handed him the sticker sheet. “Pick which one you want, sweetheart.”

And while Cisco was focused on that. He reached in his pocket, pulling out Cisco's pacifier. He ran the nipple under the water, cleaning it from anything it collected then shook the water off.

“Here you go, my love.” He pressed it to Cisco's lips. He took right away, eyes still locked in front of him as he peeled off his desired sticker.

Hartley passed him his half filled chart that was only missing a few days here and there. “A little stegosaurus today?”

Cisco nodded, his curls bouncing while he sucked harder on his pacifier with a smile.

He reached and tucked some of those curls behind Cisco's ear. “You deserved it, pup.”

The sticker chart and sheets were collected then placed back into the cabinet.

“Come here, kiddo.” He pulled Cisco in his arms from behind. Cisco shifted a little, putting his body to the side to lay it down on Hartley's shoulder while still being in his arms.

Hartley could hear the rhythmic sucking from Cisco on his pacifier. Every so often the plastic would brush against his skin. Especially after he moved his hand to the back of his head, letting Cisco completely lay against him. He enjoyed feeling the weight of his body against his, knowing Cisco trusted him to hold him up and much more.
