Summary
“Your turn, tough guy,” Tucker says, over his shoulder. “Pants.”
“I can do it,” Frank snaps. “I’m not-” He cuts himself off before the word little can escape again. “I can do it.”
“Awesome,” Tucker says. “Then do it. Bath water’s getting lonely.”
Frank grumbles, but he kicks off his sneakers, peels his jeans down in damp, resistant jerks. His boxers are splattered with mud, dark streaks up his thighs. He hesitates at the edge of the tub, eyeing the bubbles like they might explode.
“C’mon, Frankie,” Anthony says suddenly, soft around his fingers. “P-pengwins need help.”
Frank’s head tilts. “What penguins?”
Anthony scoops up a double handful of bubbles, letting them sift through his fingers like snow. “Cold,” he says, eyes big. “They c-cold. Gotta… save ‘em.”
ORAnthony has a bad brain day, Frankie is not a baby (except when he is), Tucker is trying his best, and Tim notices everything.
OR
Rainy day off, puddle jumping, bath time, pull-ups for two grumpy boys, and bedtime routines crashed by Daddy’s daddy- Master Tim.

Summary
“Shh.” Ray’s thumb strokes his neck. “I’m not mad at you. I’m not judging you. But look at how you’re acting, baby. Would you yell at a three-year-old for melting down because they’re fried and their socks are scratchy and they don’t want to go to bed?”
Frank swallows hard. He hates that his eyes sting at that. He hates how true it all is, how logical it all sounds. “No,” he mutters, because he really wouldn’t—he’s not a monster.
“Right. You wouldn’t.” Ray’s voice is so gentle it hurts. “You’d know they’re just tired and need a fresh pull-up and a nap, yeah?”
The word pull-up lands like a slap, Frank’s whole body jerking in response. “Stop comparing me to a toddler,” he spits, voice cracking. “I’m not three. I’m an adult, Ray, I’m— I’m—”
“You’re my little boy,” Ray supplies simply. “You act like one when you’re this tired. You talk like one. You stomp, and you pout, and you say ‘big kid’ like that’s gonna get you out of bedtime.” His hand squeezes at Frank’s nape, grounding and inescapable. “So I’m treating you like what you are right now. A cranky, overtired little boy who needs Daddy to be in charge.”
OR
Ray is unwilling to argue with a cranky little boy about bedtime.

Summary
He leans in and presses a quick, trembling kiss to Bunny’s head. It feels insane, leaving a goodbye on the forehead of a stuffed rabbit, but he does it anyway. His voice comes out rough and hoarse, barely air.
“Take care of him,” he whispers into fake fur.
If he brings Bunny with him, she’ll have to see. She’ll have to watch him turn himself into a corpse, rather than a living, breathing being who loves her more than anything else in this world. He can’t do that to her. Can’t do that to Frank, either—not the part that consists of watching him slip away at least.
If he dies, Frank should have Bunny and Bunny should have Frank. They deserve each other. They deserve a version of Anthony who didn’t drag them into his own personal sinkhole.
Anthony deserves neither.
OR
Anthony feels like he doesn't deserve to live. Frank disagrees.

Summary
“That’s what I thought,” Tucker added once the silence lasted a second too long. “You wanted me to find out, didn’t you, huh? Wanted me to check your pretty little training panties to see if you made a little mess, princess?”
“I didn’t—!” Anthony half whispered indignantly, but his legs twitched where they lay across Tucker’s legs, thighs trembling. “You’re being—stop saying it like that.”
“Like what?” Tucker asked, tilting his head just a little, like he honestly didn’t know what Anthony was referring to. His fingers moved downwards and skimmed the edge of one leg-band, right next to where the little flowers had faded from wetness. “Like you’re my soggy little princess? Like you’re a brat who knows he gets babied when he leaks into his pretty little pull-ups and curls up in my lap like he forgot how to use the potty like a big girl?”
OR
Anthony is a brat in a wet pull-up and Tucker is his daddy who think's he's adorably pathetic in every way.

Summary
And then–
Click.
Patrick’s eyes go wide at the sound, his heartbeat thundering in his chest. “Wait…Pete… what the fuck is that…”
“A permanent marker,” Pete says cheerfully, clicking it again, testing it against his palm to make sure the ink hadn’t gone dry or run out since the last time they needed it. “For labeling things that belong to me.” He adds, as if that clears the confusion up entirely.
Pete can practically see the gears turning in Patrick’s head as he pathetically tries to cover his chest with his arms. But it’s a wasted effort because Pete’s already holding the hem of his shirt up with one hand- the other one that was around his throat a second ago moving down and firmly pushing him even further back into the side of the van.
“Don’t get shy on me now, babygirl,” Pete murmurs, voice low, dragging the cotton up further until his entire chest is on display. “Let me see those pretty little tits of yours, sweetheart.”
OR
Patrick is driving everyone insane and Pete does something about it.

Summary
Not now. Not at his age. Not with his status. He has too much to lose—friends, family, fans. If his life falls apart, it affects more than just him. His bandmates count on him. His publisher relies on him. It’s too risky.
But fuck, it feels good.
