Little! Spider + Ant

Cg! Missy + Harper

Warnings: classification, crying

Plot: heartbreak high classification au fic

Spider, Missy, Ant, Harper, Amerie, Darren, Quinni and Cash are all sat in the amphitheatre.

Quinni, Darren and Cash are sitting criss cross apple sauce on the floor, chatting quietly. Missy, Harper and Amerie are standing by the entrance, talk loudly amongst themselves. Spider and Ant are sitting on the seats along the wall. Neither one is talking, instead staring ahead as they churn thoughts in their head.

They are the last of the year 12's waiting, and despite the cahtter, the room is somehow overwhelmingly silent.

It's the beginning of year 12 and the whole class is getting their classifications. There's 4 potential classifications: caregiver, little, flip and neutral.

Neutral is the most common, with 47% of the population falling into the neutral category. Neutrals can have tendencies of any of the other classes but they ultimately fall under none of the above. They function as normal all of the time.

Littles and caregivers both make up 19% of the population, coming together to form 38% of the population. Littles sometimes fall into a younger headspace where they rely more heavily on others. Caregivers are built to support and care for the littles.

Finally, flips make up 15% of the population. A flip can both regress or care for those that are regressed. Some flips lean one way or another but they can be both.

The test is quick and easy. The teens get asked some simple questions and then get their blood taken.

Within minutes, they have the results back. They group together silently, pushing aside past grievances and arguments to come together.

Quinni opens hers first, a wide grin on her face. Then, she opens the letter and in big bright letters, an orange NEUTRAL appears. She leafs through the letter, finding a pamphlet explaining her class and details on how to register with the government. "It's like opening a letter" she exclaims gleefully.

Cash and Darren open each other's, both sighing in relief when they get the same NEUTRAL as Quinni. "Thank God. I am so not built to be a caregiver" Darren sighs dramatically, clutching at their chest for added flair.

Amerie opens hers next, the whole group sitting in shock when the words FLIP stare back at them.

"Hey it's ok babe, we'll help you" Harper consoles, pulling Amerie into a hug.

"Yeah, it's no big deal" Darren chimes in.

"You get the best of both worlds?" Cash adds hesitantly.

"Yeah ok... I'm ok. Why don't you go Harps?" Amerie says after a long moment of silence. She wipes at her eyes and visibly pulls herself together.

Harper tears her envelop open, Missy lightly punching her in the arm when a bright red CAREGIVER is written in bold.

"And to noones suprise, our group mum is actually a mommy" Missy jokes, quickly getting a punch from Ant, Harper and Spider.

"OK then, let's see yours then" Spider teases, pulling her in close as they carefully open her envelope together. They skim through the envelop, but right in the middle is CAREGIVER

The group chat happily about the results and spider and Ant send each other a look. "Last two?" Spider says, though he phrases it like a question.

Ant just looks up at him, blinking with wide eyes. Ant hasn't spoken since the test, choosing instead to sit at the back of the group.

"I bet I can guess what his is going to be" Harper jokes. She gets up from her spot and sits in front of Ant, gently grabbing his attention by placing a hand on his shoulder. "Hey kiddo. Can I open your envelope? It's imporant"

Ant just nods, still not talking. Missy smiles at him and picks up the letter. She carefully opens it and places it on the table, displaying a light blue LITTLE for everyone to see.

Ant just whimpers at seeing the words and launches himself into Harper. Harper catches him with a grunt, steadying the both of them with the other hand.

"You're all good kiddo, I got you" she murmers, running her hands through his hair while he sobs into her chest.

"Awe it's alright Ant, I'll be your little buddy" Amerie jokes, sitting down besides Harper.

Cash and Darren join the two, not knowing how to help and instead offering silent support with their presence.

Quinni sits from across the table and silently hands Ant a pair of noise cancelling headphones and a fidget cube. Harper helps him put them on and he calms down almost instantly, content to sit in Harper's lap and play with the fidget cube.

"Spider, you haven't done yours y-" Missy trails off mid sentence. Everyone looks up from a now very happy Ant to see a very distraught Spider spitting off to the side.

He's clutching his open letter in his hand, the light blue of the LITTLE still clearly visible. He makes eye contact with Missy, his whole body still.

"Hey Spidey, you ok?" She asks cautiously, standing up and carefully walking over to him, watching for a reaction.

"I'm a little" He says, almost in a whisper.

"I know. Looks like we've got two little buggy boys" she chuckles over her joke to herself, before slowly sitting next to him. She gives a quick nod of her head to tell the rest of the group to leave them alone for a bit.

The two sit in silence for a long while, Spider processing this new information and Missy silently offering the support he needs.

"I don't have any gear" Spider says quietly, not making eye contact.

"That's OK, you can apply for a grant with the government to get some if you want it" Missy replies gently.

"I um... I don't know how to be little" Spider mutters, finally lifting his head to look at Missy with pleading eyes.

"Oh, well that I can help with. Can I touch you?" Missy chuckles, scooting closer. Spider just nods and leans into her.

Missy waits until he's comfortable before nodding at the rest of the gang to come over now.

Ant is the first to toddle over. He plops down in front of Spider and waits (as patiently as a 5 year old can wait) for Spuder to look up.

When spider looks up, Ant grabs his hand, says " We're buggy boys :)" before racing off. Spider lets Ant drag him along but he sends a glare Missys way.

Missy and Harper both laugh before trailing behind the two littles, chatting while they play pirates and fairies and superheros and mermaids.

Hi,

Could I please make a request for some little Ant caregiver Spider

(Autistic ADHD Ant and Autistic Spider if thats ok)

It could either be some headcannons or just a short little something where Ant is feeling overwhelmed and clings to Spider

Whatever you want to write

Thank you :)

Cg! Spider + Little! Ant

A form of stress release for them both

They will often go and have playdates at Cash's with Harper

Ant regresses to about 5 to reclaim his childhood

Spends a lot of time at parks

^ it's a good way for Ant to get his energy out that doesn't overwhelm Spider

They each have a sensory kit that is personalised

Ant needs a lot of stimulation but Spider gets overwhelmed easy

They have a closet full of those baby sensory water mats

Ant is not allowed stress balls

^ He keeps biting them and breaking them

little ant in his new ride + a bear friend

[post-it-notes7]

As much as I love/abhor Mir Arthur, he hasn’t yet done anything outright alarming… he just kind of sneaks around like a weird lizard or a fly on a wall. So, why is everyone so wary of him?

It's faded from memory now, the active period before the Mir GSA went into its quiet isolation. But the stories remain, those whispers of what Mir Arthur has done when he doesn't quite get what he wants.
