Synopsis: Harry's in Subspace after having too many nightmares.
Harry was easily a switch.
He could go from being a dominant person who wanted to take care of his baby girl and keep her protected from the rest of the world.
Other times, Harry could be the submissive in the relationship. It didn't happen as often as Y/N liked since she was also a switch in the relationship, but when it did happen, Y/N would treasure those moments and keep Harry safe when he was feeling all floaty.
Today, Harry was feeling extremely floaty and Y/N knew from the minute she woke up that he was in Subspace.
His head was resting on Y/N's chest when she had woken up and his hands were gripping tightly on the ends of his shirt she was wearing.
When he sensed she had woken up, he looked up at her with flustered cheeks and pouty lips, his eyes all cloudy and innocent.
Y/N smiled softly and bought her hand up to run her fingers through his unruly curls. "Feeling floaty today baby?" She asks, her voice raspy from having just woken up.
Harry immediately nods his head, "Need you." He says, his voice sweet and dripping innocence.
"Need who baby boy?" Y/N teases, brushing the tips her fingers over his face, his eyes fluttering shut at the gentle touches.
"Need mommy." He whispers, the name sending butterflies in Y/N.
"M right here my love." She holds onto him tightly, trying to bring him as much comfort as possible, "What's got you feeling so small baby?"
Harry pouts his lips, "Had a nightmare." He says and Y/N's eyes soften.
In the early days of their relationship, Harry often had restless nights filled with nightmares due to past trauma in his childhood.
"Do you want to tell mommy what it was about?" She asks, already knowing he'll say no but it'll have to be something she brings up later.
As expected, he shakes his head and just continues to cling onto her. She took one last look at him and took in the fact that he wasn't going to be coming out of his Subspace anytime today.
"Do you wanna take a bath Peaches?" Y/N kisses his forehead.
"A bath." He nods before looking up at her worriedly, "With mommy?"
"Of course my love." Y/N pecks his soft lips and waits for him to move so she can get his bath ready.
After a while, Harry stays lying on the bed and Y/N leaves to run his bath. She grabs him a new outfit to wear because he liked it when mommy picked out his outfits for the day.
"Are you ready for your bath baby?" Y/N sits on the end of the bed and giggles when Harry quickly shuffles around to rest his head on her lap like a little puppy.
They sat in the warm bath together with Harry's back resting against Y/N's chest as she lathered soap into his skin and washed his hair. Harry sighed in bliss feeling himself relax at her touch.
"I was thinking we could make cupcakes for your sister's birthday today." Y/N kisses his bare shoulder, "Would you like that baby boy?"
"Cupcakes with mommy?" He turns back to look at her. Y/N smiles at the fact he had a constant need to ask if they were doing things together. She knew it was just a worry he had whenever he was feeling subby.
"Yes with mommy." Her heart soaring at the lazy grin that appears on his flushed face.
"I picked out your outfit baby." Y/N coos as she combs his wet hair whilst he sits on the bed with a towel wrapped around him.
"Thank you mommy, I love you." He murmurs, his voice still quiet.
"I love you too cutie." Y/N smiles and kisses the tip of his red nose.
In the kitchen, Y/N and Harry stand at the counters as they make the cupcakes together. Harry is by Y/N's side at every given moment and watches as she mixes the batter.
"Do you wanna line the baking tray Peaches?" Y/N asks and Harry nods.
Y/N had laid out a few cupcake cases for them to use. Harry specifically chose the pink glittery cupcake cases, more for his own peace of mind than anything else. He loved pink and glitter so why wouldn't he choose that option?
"Hug mommy," Harry speaks up, Y/N dropping the wooden spoon and walking over to her boyfriend.
"How come you're still all floaty baby boy? Hmm? What's wrong with my sweet boy?" She cups his cheeks and notices the haziness in his eyes is still there.
"Jus wanna hug mommy." He pouts, ignoring her questions.
"We can cuddle baby, just got to put these in the oven and then we can sit and cuddle for as long as you want." Y/N quickly pours the batter into the cupcake cases and into the oven.
"Careful m-mommy." Harry mumbles when she puts the cupcakes into the oven.
Only a few minutes later, Y/N and Harry were laying on the couch. Y/N was normally the little spoon whenever they would cuddle but this time it was Harry's turn to be taken care of.
He nestled his head on her chest and hummed when she played with his curls with one hand as he played with her small fingers. "Still feeling all floaty my love?" Y/N asks, "Think you can come back to Y/N?"
Harry shakes his head, "N-no mommy." He murmurs, refusing to leave his safe space.
Y/N notices the dark under eye bags that prominently stood out against the paleness of his face. She knew he was tired due to his restless night but she didn't want to let him sleep in Subspace.
"Feeling tired little love?" Y/N hums and receives a nod from a sleepy Harry.
"Can't let you sleep all subby baby," She kisses his forehead.
Harry whines, "M-Mommy." He frowns and Y/N releases a laugh.
"What's that face for Hmm? You know it's Y/N." She attempts to bring him back down again.
"Jus want mommy." He huffs.
"Oh so you don't want Y/N?" She teases him and he releases another groan.
"Nooo mommy, that's not what I s-said." He shakes his head. "I love you."
"Who do you love?" She grins.
"Love m-mommy.... And Y-Y/N." Y/N smiles and sees the haziness from his eyes slowly start to fade when he says her name.
"That's my baby." Y/N feels a little more at ease.
She found a good way to get Harry out of his Subspace was for him to realise that she was Y/N. She didn't want to force him out of his happy place but it was important she slowly allowed him to come back down from it no matter how long it took for her to do so.
"I love you too baby boy, more than you'll ever know." Harry looks up at her and pouts his lips for a kiss before releasing a loud yawn.
"Such a sleepy boy I have." Harry nods his head.
After a while of cuddling on the couch, the cupcakes were out of the oven and all ready to be decorated.
Harry was slowly coming out of his Subspace as Y/N began to lay out the ingredients for decorating them.
"Alright baby, make sure to decorate them nicely since they're for your sister." Y/N began to prepare her piping bag with yellow icing.
"O-okay mommy." Harry nods, picking out some different toppings for his cupcakes.
Music played in the background as the couple spent the next two hours trying their best to decorate the cupcakes.
Y/N had decided to go for a yellow and pink theme with her decorations whilst Harry was aiming for a more 'interpretative' art form with his decorations.
As Y/N finished with her last cupcake, she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to see a cupcake with her favourite buttercream icing and pink writing with the words 'I love you' scribbled messily on top.
Her heart squeezed in her chest when she looked up at Harry holding the cupcake in his two hands, his eyes innocent looking and glossy with flushed cheeks and pouty lips.
"Is this for me?" Y/N grins.
"Y-Yes mommy." He speaks.
"I love it, thank you baby." She kisses his cheek.
"Sleep now?" Harry mumbles, rubbing his eye with the back of his hand.
Y/N's face softens, "You want to nap now?"
"W-with mommy, s-scary alone." He looks down, embarrassed that he was scared to sleep by himself.
"Hey it's okay puppy, we can go nap together right now." She cups his cheeks as she speaks before grabbing his hand and leading him to their bedroom.
They laid down together with Harry's back pressed against Y/N's front as she tried to comfort him as much as possible, "Sleep now, mommy's right here." Y/N whispers.
Harry releases a sigh of content as he closes his eyes and takes a long, much needed nap without no nightmares in sight since mommy was right there with him.
