“Where’s my cute little bunny?” Heading back into the nursery, I was glad to see him on all fours, pushing his new stuffed animals around with his nose…because bunnies didn’t seem to have hands? “There he is.”
I got an excited wiggle which seemed to mean my bunny was very happy to see me. “I can’t wait to cuddle my little bunny.”
My adorable little bunny who’d decided being a rabbit was much better than being a human with real things to stress about.
“Oh, my bunny found new friends for us to cuddle with. I’m so glad.” A teddy bear and a giraffe were now at the head of the bed and everyone else was still lined up on the wall. “They’re perfect.”
And they were soft and the perfect stuffed animals to cuddle with for nap time…the internet told me so.
“I have a book for us too.” Not mentioning the bottle or the plan for him to get a bit more sleep, I picked up a book about a sleepy rabbit that I’d found and climbed over the railing to sit beside him on the bed. “Cuddle time.”
My bunny wrapped his…limbs around the stuffed animals and wiggled closer so I could pull him on my lap. With his obvious consent, I stretched him out between my legs and had his head resting on my chest.
He wiggled before letting out a soft breath and going still, opening his mouth as I brought the bottle to his lips. “That’s my good little bunny.”
Kissing his head, I wrapped one arm around him above the stuffed animals. I ended up petting his collarbone and nuzzling the other side of his head, but it was the perfect position to feed him his bottle and read him a book.
Slowly letting him relax and drink, I took my time getting the book ready. I snuggled and hugged and rocked him slowly side to side, and by the time I’d started the first page, he was making sleepy little whines. Addison managed to make it a few more pages, but well before the bunny was asleep, Addison was out.
Setting the book and the half-finished bottle down, I kept still until I was sure he was out. He didn’t even twitch as I shifted him beside me and just sighed when I wrapped myself around him. It was time for Daddies and bunnies to relax and get a nice long nap.
Then we’d see who was getting up from the nap.
My bunny might’ve gone to bed but I had no idea who I’d wake up to.
****
Something nuzzling against my cheek woke me up and it only took a second to realize I still had a bunny.
Well, bunnies didn’t have to talk about college or the future, so it wasn’t really a surprise. I just hoped he realized it probably wasn’t the best idea to meet his new roommate as a rabbit. Not that it would be the worst.
From what I’d seen of their social media posts, the chances of Bunny Addy being the weirdest thing his roommate had ever seen would be slim to none. The only way Addison would surprise anyone on that campus would be if he tried to give class presentations as a rabbit.
Everything else seemed flexible.
But Addison wasn’t ready to accept that reality, so I wrapped my arms around him and snuggled my bunny, getting a huffy-sounding laugh that might’ve been bunny giggles. “My snuggly bunny is finally awake.”
And happy based on how wiggly he was.
Opening my eyes, I saw a smiling Addison leaning over me before he pointed to his bottle. “More?”
Long questions seemed ridiculous and I knew I was right when he just nodded. “Alright, I think that’s a great idea. Then how about we hop off the bed and…and we find some cartoons and play while you get more milk?”
More eager head bobs said the bunny agreed.
Perfect, we had a plan.
But before we could implement it, we had one thing to check.
“Come here, my Addy rabbit. I need cuddles.” My bunny wiggled excitedly and climbed on my lap as I sat up. “There we go. That’s much better.”
And it let me give the back of his diaper-covered bottom a pat.
Nothing seemed to require attention but I gave him firm snuggles so the front of his diaper pressed against me. Nothing there either, so I kissed his head and relaxed my hold on him. Whatever he was thinking or feeling earned me a cute cheek kiss before he rested his head on my shoulder.
“I like bunny snuggles.” I wasn’t sure how to talk around explaining that he could stay like this as long as he wanted. Putting it out too factually sounded like a bad idea, so all I could do was give him another hug and try to be subtle. “I’m going to keep my sweet Addy rabbit snuggled up against me and never let him escape.”
