Upon returning to their apartment, Simon smiled at his father and headed to his bedroom to set his backpack down and check on his pet spider. He smiled as he watched the tarantula move around his tank. No one really knew why Simon chose a tarantula of all creatures, but Jax didn’t bother questioning his little pup because as long as Simon was happy, Jax could rest easy. The man checked his watched and smiled as he walked to the kitchen to prepare his son something to eat, his mind still on Keith as he eagerly hoped Draco came through for him and later would get a text or something. Jax hadn’t truly felt smitten in quite a while, and despite his Interaction with the panda woman from earlier, this was special, he for some reason has a feeling in his heart that he was meant to be with Keith. It wasn’t even normal for him to have thoughts like that, but something just felt unique about this man. He quickly ended his thoughts and smiled as he walked the plate of crackers to his sons room and gently placed it on his desk. Simon smiled seeing the snack and relaxed as he took one and gave half to the spider, it scurrying to the cracker and messed with it. “So, he still alive and well I see. That’s good. I still can’t believe you chose a spider of all things.” Jax chuckled at his son and knelt down to watch the spider, Simon smiling as he nodded.
“I dunno, I just liked how he looked. Tarantulas are cool.” Simon giggled as he watched his dad examine the spider as he ate. Simon was a bit of an oddball and kind of just let things happen, and since he saw the tarantula he felt it was something he had to get. There wasn’t any real reason behind it as he just wanted a spider. Simon ate a few more crackers before stretching and getting off his desk chair and grinned at his father, walking behind him while he was distracted. Simon and Jax didn’t really talk much about it, but Jax being a babyfur and wearing diapers at times would make the man use the restroom without realizing it, and so Simon made it a habit that he’d check to see if that was the case whenever he felt it was a decent time. Without a word he pulled back his dad’s pants and a white and blue diaper that was wrapped snugly around his waist and seemed to fit a bit snug, just because Jax had a relatively big bottom and so finding a good size was kind of hard. Simon took a look, seeing both his dads big bottom and a wet stain on the diaper as he smiled and let it go. “Seems you had a bit of an accident pops.” Simon smiled and told his dad, patting him on the butt, which all around made Jax blush and jump up in surprise with a crimson face, his grey and white fur not hiding it in the slightest.
“Oh, uh. I guess in all the excitement today I never really thought about it.” He blushed a bit but it wasn’t really from embarrassment but more so his son just announced it without much hesitation. His son was probably the one person he trusted most to ever do something with the diaper so embarrassment wasn’t really a thing for him. Jax started running through the events of the day and never once thought about the fact he had to use the bathroom, which was more embarrassing in itself as that means he used the diaper without a second thought. It wasn’t uncommon for Jax to use the diaper if he wanted but it was uncommon he didn’t know he was doing it and so of course it was more of a shock. “W-well, would you like the honors son?” He asked, hinting at giving the pup the option to change his own father’s diaper, which simon giggled but shook his head.
“Not this time. I have homework I wanna get done before anything. But maybe after dinner if it happens again I will.” He giggled and winked. “And maybe make your bottom as red as your face in the process.” He said gleefully as he grabbed his back and got to work on his school work, Jax’s face going even redder at the mention of what his son wanting to do and subconsciously reached back and rubbed the seat of his pants, knowing very well that Simon had full plans to give him a Spanking. That one was definitely embarrassing solely because the thought of being over someone’s lap with his bare bottom on display was something that always made him blush. He didn’t mind so much the spanking itself but just the fact everyone in the vicinity could see his backside was a big embarrassing, but luckily they lived in an apartment with soundproof walls and windows with drapes that covered them, so Simon could spank Jax to his hearts content and no one would notice unless they were right in front of their entryway. Jax didn’t say anything more and walked out with his embarrassment and went to his room, grabbing a fresh diaper from the closet and walking to the bathroom with a towel, he needed a shower anyways, so this was no big deal.
Simon heard the shower start and nodded as he did his homework, but his mind was still racing a bit. “I hope he’s ready to start dating again. I love my dad dearly and I don’t like the thought of anyone hurting him. I’ll wait and see but hopefully he’s going to be okay, he’s too nice to be hurt.” Simon said and took another bite of a cracker, dropping some of it into the tank again and watched his tarantula again. It was always fun and relaxing to watch the tarantula do what it did and simon always giggled when he did. He always wondered how the tarantula felt about him, but he never really thought about how. “Maybe one day I can make a device so you can speak to me, that’d be cool, I’d love to hear what my pet spider was thinking.” Simon said, and nodded as he started writing down ideas in another notebook, forgetting his homework for the time being. Simon was very creative and imaginative so whenever he started having more ideas with experiments, he always stopped what he was doing to write them down, one day he might be able to do such things.
Jax spent a good portion of the half hour in the shower just soaking a bit, smiling as he liked the feel of warm water on him, and it was always just relaxing to him. Simon was very independent so he never bothered with his father and how long he showered, because he could mostly handle stuff on his own, minus a few extreme things like a burglar or something. Jax sighed contently before he took his rag and started to gently scrub some shampoo all along his fur and smiled gently seeing the soap cover his arm. Jax liked the minor things in life and sometimes just the things he sees in showers made him smile, and that wasn’t something he ever found weird. With how much he’s struggled in the past, he always justified happiness with every little thing because it helped him stay positive, even when things weren’t looking good. He blinked as he heard the ringer on his phone play the text tone and he smiled hopefully as he took the removable shower head and ran it all along his body and got all of the soap off, looking back to see most of his back soap drip right off his tail and big round bottom. He nodded before giving one last quick spray everywhere and putting the shower head back on, shutting the water off and reaching for his towel. “I wonder if that’s him. Draco worked fast if that’s the case.” He said and wrapped himself up and stepped out of the shower. He dried off a bit before nodding and walking to the sink where his phone sat next to, picking it up.
“Hey, this is Keith. My buddy Draco told me you were interested in me. If that’s true, feel free to message me back. If this is something we can have start, I wouldn’t mind.” The text read, getting a happy grin from Jax as he eagerly pushed the text on screen and started typing out his response.
“Yes, I am the one interested. My name is Jax. Hopefully we can get something started, I wouldn’t mind either.” Jax replied, smiling as he almost saw the immediate ‘read’ show up on the screen. He took a seat on the closed toilet and smiled as he started texting back and forth.

Keith looked content as he started cleaning up his work station, glad to finally be done with his cooking for the day. He loved his job, but there was just some days they felt like they trailed on forever before they would eventually end, this was one of those days. He took off his apron and quickly placed it in the laundry pin of aprons that Andrew did every other day, and nodded as he goes to the staff room and opened up his locker to grab his spare clothes and duffle bag, grabbing his phone from his pocket and re reading the text from Draco. He didn’t expect to much from this new introduction Draco had for him so he just replied with a simple “Okay, be home in 20” before setting his phone in the duffel bag and nodding as he goes to change back into his normal clothing, Andrew leaving the office as he saw Keith return to the room. “Hey, see you tomorrow. And good luck with the Draco incident, I’m sure you’ll get everything taken care of just fine.” He smiled and goes to retrieve the laundry basket and nodding as he waved him off and silently left, leaving Keith to lock up the kitchen for the night. Keith nodded as he now pocket his phone and nodded as he slung the bag over his shoulder and walked out to his car, seeing one of the girls he trained waiting awkwardly on the curb. “Hey, your ride not show?” He asked, startling the young chef.
“AH! Oh, sorry keith, didn’t recognize your voice. My ride isn’t even showing, my boyfriend… well ex now apparently… decided to ditch me and drive out of town, only leaving a text. I’m looking for a ride with little luck.” The young dragoness said, sighing as she looked at the phone in his somewhat small pink hands. Keith sighed and rubbed his apprentices shoulder before checking his watch. “Well, it’s not to bad an issue, I’ll take you home.” He smiled and motioned her to follow to his car. She was taken by surprise from the kindness her mentor showed and was quick to follow behind him, a smile of relief showing on her scaly face as she was at least relieved to have a ride. Keith unlocked the door of the car and let her in before putting his stuff in the trunk and getting into the driver seat, pulling out a GPS from the glove box and handing it to her. “Just type in your address and we will be on our way.” He smiled and started the car as she typed into the GPS and placed it on the dash where she assumed it went. Keith nodded before leaving the parking lot to take her home. “Kinda scummy of your ex to do that to you. That’s not something you do to your boyfriend or girlfriend.” Keith said starting up conversation with her.
“Tell me about it. Just leaving a text saying you’re leaving and then abandon me at my work in the middle of the night. It’s pathetic. Luckily I had the house key before he left so I won’t have to worry about him coming back. And if he tries I’ll just change the locks.” She said. She didn’t know Keith well but just from his kindness alone it was clear that she was being listened to intently by the wolf. “I guess I should’ve seen it coming though, he’s blown me off before, but just to leave town suddenly? It makes me realize I shouldn’t have been so hasty to date him.” She said and sighed as they drove through the sun set showing road, Keith watching the road.
“Meh, you live and you learn. Not everything is perfect, like I told you in training, I have a kid so I keep strict schedules, that’s all because my wife decided to abandon us and I had to. Use it as a learning experience, and make your future relationships even better. That’s how we work after all, we adapt to issues and learn from them.” He smiled at the young dragon, but kept focus on the road as they turned into her apartment complex. He wrote his number down for her and handed it over. “If you ever need help from work, give me a call, you have potential and I’d hate to see you quit all because of no transport. I’ll see you tomorrow Lucy.” He smiled at the dragon warmly, she accepted the number and waved happily before quickly running into her apartment complex, Keith looking around and realizing it was right across his sons school, which was impressive to him, he started his car again and made his way out of the complex and onto his way home, he had a child to get home to. He soon arrived home and smiled seeing the living room light on as he shut off his car and walked up the way to the door, looking in to see Draco lying on the couch half asleep and Lucas lying down on his stomach and chest, all bathed and ready for bed. Keith smiled warmly and walked into the house, Lucas immediately gasping and running up to leap into his dad’s arms. “Daddy’s home!” He said eagerly as he was caught and held as he hugged his dad.
“Yup, dads home, and I can see big brother Draco gave you a bath. Was Draco a good babysitter?” Keith asked in a playful way, he knew Draco was a good babysitter and knew just how much Lucas loved his babysitter. Lucas giggled and nodded “Yup, Draco was great! He was also well behaved.” He giggled jokingly given his father was a spank happy wolf so if he said otherwise Draco might’ve gotten a spanking, which the boy thought would’ve been amazing to see. “Also, he says he is moving in with us, is that true daddy?” Lucas asked curiously with a grin on his face as his tail wagged quickly, he was clearly excited either way just because his dad was home.
“Yup, Draco is going to be staying with his for a while. So you get to play with your big brother every day after school.” Keith smiled, making Lucas cheer happily. The puppy knew Draco wasn’t actually his brother, but with how Keith sometimes treated Draco and how Draco treated Lucas, someone could easily just assume Keith was Draco’s adoptive father, which some found really cute without knowing the truth. “Alright bud, I know I just got back but you still have a bedtime. But I promise on the weekend when I’m off, we will spend the whole day together.” Keith smiled at his son with a happy smile as he grinned, Lucas whining at the bedtime part but slowly cheering up at hearing they’d spend the weekend together. Lucas hugged his dad as he was carried upstairs and gently but swiftly tucked into bed for the night, the boy quick to fall asleep. Keith smiled warmly once again and walked over to the closet and closed it, and walked beside the bed and turned on a nightlight that was modeled after an action figure. He gently kissed his sons head and quietly left, smiling at how lucky he was to have such a sweet child.
Keith walked back downstairs to see Draco sitting up with a yawn and a stretch. “The number is on the counter, with his name. The guy is really eager to meet you so hopefully you hit it off. I’m going to bed.” Draco yawned more and started walking off, before Keith gently grabbed his arm and pulled him closely, hugging him, Draco surprised as he slowly hugged back. “Night bud, you’ll be fine here. I’ll take care of you, alright?” He asked as he hugged him, Draco nodding slowly before he was let go. “I know. You take care of me better than my own dad did. I’ll always know I can trust you. Goodnight Keith.” He said and waved, yelping in surprise as he was given a gentle smack on the butt before walking upstairs. Draco goes to the guest room and undresses down to his boxers before sitting on the edge and gently lying down, pulling the blanket over him. It felt like an immense weight was lifted off of him at the moment, and for the first time in a long time, he felt happy. He was happy Keith was taking care of him. He looked up to Keith as his dad, and this was showing why. He shut his eyes and silently went to sleep, happy to have a warm bed for the night, and for a long time.
Keith smiled a bit as he heard both his young charges asleep and nodded as he walked to the kitchen to grab a beer from the fridge and the number off the counter. Keith wasn’t an alcoholic but sometimes he’d have a beer every once in a while just to help relax. He walked over to his single chair in the living room and reclined gently as he turned the tv volume low, leaving the blanket sprawled across the couch while he reclinedin his separate chair. He looked at the number and nodded. “That husky pup who ran into me. He was kinda cute. If he’s interested than maybe this could work. But how do I start this.” He wondered as his finger played around on the home button of his phone before he nodded and began typing, starting their night of texting as he saved Jax’s name into his phone, he smiled seeing that soon a response came through, and he started talking to the pup about themselves, he thought to himself that he might’ve found the perfect one. He hoped this was it.
