The sun's rays gently crept into the living room, soon making its way over a familiar figure that we all know and love. Our favorite caretaker, Lilbert Chugard, or Chu, as we all call him, would be found laid out on the sofa in his home after a long, but enjoyable night babysitting one of the toddlers at the daycare center. As it would have turned out, little Theo had to be dropped off due to his parents having to work late at night, and rather than leaving him by himself, they asked the Raichu to take care of him. Chu was of course, more than happy to do so, and took special care to making sure Theo felt welcome in his home!

The night was certainly an adventure for them both, as the hybrid had never spent any time with Chu other than the daycare center, so it would certainly be a little different. Chu on the other hand was more than confident that he'd be able to make the youngster happy. The two did many different things together! They played with toys, hide n' seek, played some video games. To his surprise, Chu would find himself on the losing side of video gaming with the toddler, but he'd get his revenge with tickle attacks! There was a point where the elder male had removed his jeans to get more comfortable, and had to explain to a somewhat flustered Theo that it was okay to do so when around people you like. This lead into a further, but simplified discussion that might not have been the best way to go about it.

"Wellll....let's see....okay, how about this?" The spikey-haired rodent would scoop the toddler up in his arms and lie back on the couch, much fun having been had, and a nice kids movie rolling on the T.V for background noise. The hybrid would look up with his big blue eyes, tilting his head as he waited for Chu to explain. "Ya see Theo, there are times where people like to enjoy themselves in a more relaxed way when they're at home, right? And sometimes when they have friends over, it's okay to do that when it's with someone you reeeaally reeeeaallly like, yeah? So with you, I'm okay hanging out in my undies, cuz I like you!" The little hybrid's face flushed a light shade of pink as he blinked up at the other. "Y-you like me? Really?" "Well, sure! After all, you're one of my favorites!" Perhaps another thing that may not have been the best to say, but he wouldn't have time to rethink it as the little hybrid snuggled up to him. "I...I like you, too, Mistah Chu..."

The elder rodent blinked a few times and blushed lightly, but smiled as he held Theo close with one arm. "Hehe. Good night, Theo...", he would whisper, soon having drifted off himself. The current morning taking place, he'd chuckle softly at remembering it all, before noticing something...strange. There was a weight upon him. One that was definitely a bit heavier than that of a toddler. Not to mention his whole right side was feeling comfortably warm. More-so than usual. Shaking off the grogginess of waking up, he'd look down to his right to see what was going on. "Hey, Theo? You okay? The---oooooooooooooooooo...?"

Chu's eyes widened as he found not a toddler, but a full-grown teenager in his arms, nothing but a red t-shirt and a pair of briefs. It was that on top of the fact that this teenager, if Chu wasn't mistaken...was a grown-up Theo! But how did it happen? When did it happen? WHY did it happen?! These questions buzzed through the Raichu's mind as he looked over the other's form and started panicking in his mind. "Buh! Wha?! Huh?! Wait...wait! I...I DID have a toddler in my arms last night, right? I WAS babysitting a little three-year old, right?!"

All of these thoughts would soon stop as he felt the boy in his arms nuzzle against his shoulder affectionately, a trait Chu took notice that Theo did a lot whenever they napped together at the daycare center. Though, he wasn't quite prepared for what he would hear next. The hybrid would murmur something in his sleep, something that the elder male couldn't quite make out until he listened closer. What he heard made all of his panic seem to go away, even though he still held mild confusion. "I love you, Chu...you're the best." Chugard, stunned and confused had no real choice but to kind of lie there and let it process. Theo somehow magically aged into his teenage years. And...did he say he loved him? That was certainly a massive jump from the previous night. But strangely enough in some weird way...he was okay with that. After all, it was sleep talking, right? Ah, whatever. The other was still kinda cute like this in a way. Plus, Chu was honestly still a bit tired, so he figured he'd just drift back to sleep.

That was until, another thought occurred to him as the sound of an alarm on his phone went off.

"...His parents will be here any minute...and we're..."

He'd grimace a bit at the situation before slowly sitting up and attempting to wake the other.

"This...is going to be really awkward to explain..."

Aaand this is the story I thought up while running on a tired brain and eyes hurting from dried out contact lenses... XD

No, no, there's nothing going on between me and Chu. It was just the main premise I had behind this particular pic. I wanted something cute with a hint of funny in there somewhere, so this was the end result. Huge thinks to for taking on my commission and bringing it to life! I had to wait a while for it, but it was definitely worth it! Thanks, Chu! You're the best! ^w^
