Dominik Mysterio One-Shots

Dominik • Little Space

"Hi, sleepyhead," she says. "Match wore you out?"

Dominik mumbles something incoherent, and then begins to sit up straighter. "Daddy?" he whispers.

Rhea bites her lip, nerves taking dominance over her usually composed nature. "Your Daddy isn't here," she states.

Tears immediately spring to life in Dominik's eyes. "But- But- Daddy!" he calls out with a wail.

Rhea's eyes widen, moving closer to try and console him. "Hey, hey. Shh. It's okay. Uncle Finn is on the phone with your Daddy right now. He'll probably meet us at the hotel, okay?"

That does nothing to settle Dominik's tears. "Daddy dijo que nunca me dejaría," he sobs out.

Rhea bites her lip. She may not be fluent in Spanish but she understands the general gist to what Dominik is saying: He feels abandoned. "No, no. Dom, it's going to be alright. You'll see your Daddy really soon."

"Priest is driving to the airport now. He'll get here before morning," Finn announces, walking back into the room. Upon seeing a crying Dominik, he halts. "What happened?"

Rhea sighs, rubbing her face out of anxiety. "He just wants Priest. Nothing we can do about that though."

Dominik sniffles. "Botella?" he asks, looking up at Finn with tearfilled eyes.

Finn tilts his head. "Bottle?" At Dominik's small nod, he smiles. "Of course. Do you have any with you?"

Dominik groans and kicks out his feet, hitting Rhea in the process. She grabs his foot and gives him the death stare. "No," she says, every once of the domineering woman dripping out of her tone. "You do not kick. Answer Uncle Finn, please."

Dominik lets out a whine. "Backpack," he murmurs, pointing over to where their personal items are. He looks back at Rhea. "Lo siento, Mami."

Finn goes to retrieve the backpack. Once reaching the item, he unzips it and moves around things until seeing a small bag at the bottom. Upon closer inspection, he sees that the desired object is there. He smiles triumphantly before facing his two teammates again. "I'm going to go to the cafeteria and fill this," he directs this towards Rhea.

She nods. Rhea turns back to Dominik when the door shuts and silence greets them. "Anything you need, love?" she asks, any remnants of her earlier scolding gone.

Dominik is about to shake his head but stops when he sees what's hanging out of his bag that Finn had left on the table before them. "Chupete," he says. "Paci."

Rhea sighs in relief at the English translation. She reaches over and takes the purple and black pacifier, the initials JD prominent at the center. Dominik opens his mouth and closes his eyes as his pacifier reaches its destination. Rhea can visibly see Dominik's muscles relax and breathing slow as he sucks.

Twenty minutes later, Finn comes back, holding a warm bottle with milk. "Sorry it took so long. Had to threaten the staff not to tell anyone," he explains.

Rhea chuckles. "You're all good. He fell back asleep anyway."

Finn smiles as he sees the boy lay in Rhea's arms, a pacifier between his lips.

"We should probably head to the hotel," Rhea whispers as to not wake the sleeping Mysterio. "Can't risk anyone seeing him like this. Priest will have our heads."

Finn flinches at that. "Yes, let's get going."

"Dominik, it's time for bed," Finn says, agitated with the non-listening boy.

Dominik juts his lip, a pout. "I go to bed when Daddy gets here. Ninguna otra manera."

Finn scowls. "Your Daddy said to make sure that you're asleep before twelve; it's nearly that," he reminds. "Do you want him to be disappointed with you?"

Dominik frowns, shaking his head harshly. "Amo a mi Daddy," he says.

Finn pats the bed. "Then let's go to sleep. Once you wake up, he'll be here," he promises.

Dominik gets into the bed and snuggles next to Finn. "Promesa?" he asks.

Finn kisses the youngests forehead. "Promesa."

"How was he? I had no idea he would slip. He usually holds off until I'm with him."

Daddy?

"It was no problem, mate." That was Rhea.

Dominik begins to open his eyes. He rolls over to face the other side of their hotel room to see Rhea and his Daddy standing close to each other, talking. He then looks down to see Finn snuggling him close, a barrier of protection.

"Daddy?" he whispers, attempting to sit up through the hard grasp of his uncle.

Priest whips his head around and immediately rushes to his boy, having no trouble taking him from Finn's strong grip. Dominik wraps his legs around his Daddy and snuggles into his chest, breathing in his comforting scent.

"Mi amor," Priest whispers into Dominik's hair. "Daddy esta aqui. I am here."

Dominik nods into his Daddy's chest. "Te extrano. Me dejó."

Priest sighs before pressing kisses atop his baby's head. "Never, mi amor. Never. I'll always come back for you. I'll always be here for you."

Dominik lifts his head and looks at his Daddy. "Para siempre?"

Priest smiles at the boy in his arms. "Para siempre," he confirms.

Forever.
