Virgil (Anxiety): Regressor

"Alright, bedtime little one." Janus cooed, scooping Virgil up from his spot on the couch. He turned the quiet cartoon off, walking the little up to their shared bedroom and laying him on the floor to change him, changing him into some footie pajamas. He got a paci clip, attaching it to the pastel purple pacifier in the littles mouth, then attached it to the collar one his onesie so he wouldn't lose it during the night.

Once Virgil was ready for bed, Janus laid him down and gave him his comfort stuffy, cuddling him in with his blankets and laying down next to him, already in his PJ's. He ran his fingers through the anxious traits hair, humming a lullaby to lul the little to sleep. As always, it quickly worked, Virgil falling into a peaceful sleep.

Towards the middle of the night, a storm came around. It started off with the light pitter patter of rain droplets on the roof and windows, quiet tumbles heard from the clouds, though it quickly became more. Loud rumbles that seemed to shake the house, bright flashes of lightning peering through the small gaps in Virgil's black curtains, and heavy rain striking and whipping against the windows.

The noise quickly awoke the regressor, fear immediately striking through his body. His heart raced, tears falling from his eyes as he let out a scared sob. Storms scared him. They were loud, the flashes of light and loud booms making him flinch and whimper, hiding in his daddy's side. He wanted his daddy's comfort, no- he needed his daddy's comfort.

Virgil whimpered and whined, sniffling through his sobs as he tried shaking his caregiver awake.

"D-daddy-y" He cried, shaking him harder, desperate for the comforting words and embrace of his caregiver. Janus groaned and stirred, opening his eyes as he was met with a flash of lightning, followed by a loud boom, and a little hugging him tightly and sobbing into the crook of his neck. He sighed softly and sat up, wrapping his strong arms around the smaller boy, hugging him tightly and rocking gently.

"Its okay my little Storm Cloud. I'm here" He cooed softly, running his fingers through the littles soft hair.

"Its okay bubba, the storm can't and won't hurt you" He reassured. His heart strained hearing the scared sobs, wanting nothing more than to control the weather and stop his baby's pain. Virgil's cried got softer after a while, reduced to small whimpers and sniffles as he continued to hide in the crook of Janus's neck.

"How about we get you a bottle?" He asked softly. Bottles usually always calmed him, pushing him farther into his headspace till he was nearly 100% dependent on the caregiver. Virgil nodded weekly with a small 'uh-huh', the deceitful trait standing up and walking down to the kitchen, turning on the dum kitchen light and setting the little down on the counter.

"Stay put so you don't fall and get hurt" He ordered gently, kissing Virgils nose. The little obeyed, small sniffled and hiccups being heard as he tried to calm down, whimpering at every flash of lightning or booming thunder. He kept his stuffed animal tightly in his arms, his paci practically glued to his mouth as he used both items to soothe himself.

Janus went through the cabinets, finding a clean bottle and teat, preparing some warm angel milk. Once it was ready and he made sure it wasn't too hot, he scooped the anxious trait up once again and carried him back upstairs, humming a soft lullaby. He sat on the bed and laid Virgil across his lap, taking the paci out of his mouth and putting it on the nightstand. He replaced the pacifier with the nib of the bottle, the regressor cooing and letting his eyes slide shut as he suckled on the bottle.

The little regressed farther into his headspace, one hand holding a fist of Janus's shirt as he succeeded hungrily on the bottle, whining a bit when he finished it. Janus cooed at him, adjusting his body so he rested on his shoulder. Janus began to pat the littles back, willing him to burp. Once he did, Janus praised him softly with a bright smile on his face, cooing and booping his nose.

He laid Virgil down, the little resting his head on his caregivers' chest. Said caregiver began to hum a soft tune once again, his chest vibrating similar to a cats purr. This quickly lulled him to sleep, as he slept soundly next to his daddy for the rest of the night.
