————————————————————————
Kaito giggled, swinging his toy rocket ship around as he ran across the yard. He was currently playing outside, and he figured that no one would be out here to bother or interrupt him. So, as the sun shone down on the outside, he ran, having a pretty good time.

He didn't know how long he'd been out here, but it'd been some time now. Whatever— that didn't bother him! He would come in when he was ready to!

He guessed he hadn't been all that careful, because as he waved the rocket ship around, he ended up smacking some sort of... bug?

Kaito was confused for a moment, when suddenly he felt a stinging sensation in his wrist.

He flinched, instinctively muttering an, "Ow!", bringing his hand up to look at what happened.

There was a small, reddened area on his wrist, revealing that he had, in fact, been stung by a bug.

He didn't process it for a moment. He felt a bit of fear crawl up on him, settling into his stomach and twisting uncomfortably.

Kaito's eyes began to water, and he let his arm fall back to his side once more as he sniffled. He'd... be fine! He'd just keep playing and everything would be okay!

But it stung. It hurt, and soon, Kaito gave a low whine. He didn't want to be outside anymore. He was scared, and... and...

"Kaito? Is... Is Kaito okay?"

Kaito snapped his head up at the familiar voice, and he felt himself sniffle, squeezing tightly onto his toy rocket ship to ease the pain somehow, running up to Gonta without much thought.

Kaito didn't know what he was supposed to think. It didn't process in his mind that someone was going to see him regressed— he didn't care at that point. He just didn't want to be alone, he wanted someone to promise that everything was fine and that he would be alright.

"Gonta!" He cried out, his voice trembly as he practically flung himself onto Gonta, his grip on him tight as he sniffled.

Gonta panicked, he was panicking because Kaito was panicking, and he wasn't all too sure what was happening!

But Gonta took a deep breath, trying to even out his breaths and calm himself down. Kaito was clearly upset and hurt by something, and Gonta needed to figure out what it was so that he could help.

After all... true gentlemen are supposed to take care of the people around them! Whether the hurting be physical or emotional.

"Kaito?" He lowered his voice, making it come out gentle as he reached out to slowly wrap his arms around the upset boy clinging onto him, "What's wrong? Can you tell Gonta what's making you upset?"

Kaito only buried his face further into Gonta's chest, his words coming out slurred and frantic as he trembled.

"W-Was outside— then a-accidentally hit a bug, so it stung me, Gonta! A-An' now it hurts," Kaito explained quickly, and he looked scared.

Gonta frowned, thinking for a moment.

"It's okay, Kaito! Gonta's sure the bug just acted out of self-defense. Hmm... what if Gonta took you inside and helped you with your sting?"

Kaito's eyes had stopped watering, and he only pouted now, giving a small nod and allowing Gonta to take his hand, taking him away from the green outside and leading him back inside.

When they got inside, Gonta took him to his room, pulling out some band-aids and glancing over to Kaito, who was standing nearby and fidgeting with the toy.

"Hey, Kaito? Gonta thinks you should run the sting under cool water. Can Kaito do that for Gonta?"

Kaito nodded, allowing Gonta to take him over to the sink and gently guide his wrist over to the sink.

Cool water almost immediately poured from the faucet, running down Kaito's sting and soothing any pain that had previously been bothering him beforehand.

Kaito giggled, trying to splash his hand around while Gonta only kept a firm hold on his arm, yet a small smile was still on his face nonetheless.

Once enough water had ran over the wound, Gonta shut off the faucet, getting a dry paper towel to clean off the water.

He softly brushed it against Kaito, and once he was dry, tossed it in the trash.

"Now, Kaito! Gonta's gonna put a band-aid on you, okay?" Gonta gave him a friendly smile, resulting in a happy nod from Kaito.

"'Kay!"

It was almost instinctive for Gonta. Something in him made him want to protect Kaito no matter what happened— even though Kaito could probably take care of himself.

Well, it certainly didn't look it for the current moment, and Gonta was more than okay with that.

Gonta took out a purple band-aid with stars on them, letting Kaito stick his hand out before gently sticking the band-aid on top of the sting.

"There!" Gonta lightly patted the stung area now covered up by the colored band-aid, "Kaito's all better now! Does Kaito feel better?"

Kaito nodded, a grin wide on his face as he fidgeted with the toy that had kept him at least a little contented.

"Uh huh! 'Ank you, Gonta!"

Gonta opened his arms for a hug.

"Of course, Kaito!"

Kaito happily accepted it, leaning into Gonta's warm grasp with a small sigh escaping his lips. He felt... safe, and loved, for the first time in a while.

Gonta held Kaito close for a while. He didn't know what this was— but he liked the feeling. He liked the feeling of being able to watch over someone and take care of them when they weren't able to take care of themself.

Maybe he could do this more often— if it helped make Kaito feel better.

All Gonta knew, was that the only thing he wanted for Kaito was for him to be happy, safe, and healthy.

Could he ask for more, really?
