Hi everyone!!

This chapter contains some sensitive material such as mentioning a of a past caregiver and being upset. Please read with caution!

Sorry if this isn't your kind of thing, but I need comfort for a similar event so I figured you guys would like it too!!
*************************************************

Recently you've been stopping yourself from regressing. You feel bad for always relying on Tenya to take care of you, and you wonder wether or not he enjoys little you or if he finds you annoying. You had issues with a past caregiver where they made you feel bad for regressing and would sometimes completely ignore you while in littlespace. There were also times where that person would coax you into regressing and then not look after you or ignore you. Tenya has never done any of these things, and he always tries his best to go above and beyond for his baby, but you still have those nagging thoughts in your head.

In fear of the same thing happing with Iida and the possibility of ruining your relationship, you decided not to regress for a while. It's not that Iida isn't a good caregiver, you trust him with your life and he's always there for you, you just don't want a rerun of what happened before.

After a couple of weeks of not regressing and staying in big space, you feel completely drained. Exhaustion paired with the emotions running through your head  made it that you were close to breaking down. But no matter how bad it got, you refused to regress.

To Tenya you've been acting out of character. You seem to be more reserved and gloomy, and when asked if something is wrong you simply say you're fine, but Iida can tell by the tone of your voice that somethings not right.

Not only that but Tenya has noticed you haven't been regressing regularly either. Usually you tend to regress fairly often, almost everyday. The longest he's seen you go without it was a couple of days, but for you to go a few weeks is really starting to make him worry.

He comes up with a plan to sit you down once you get home from work. He needs to figure out what's bothering his baby, and he misses his little one. Tenya leaves some of your little gear out in the open, such as your favourite blanket to use in littlespace and your pacifier in his pocket.

When you arrive home you kick off your shoes with a huff, and drop your belongings onto the floor. You nearly feel like crying after the day you've had, and you catch yourself before you almost regressed completely. You shake it out of your head and make your way to the kitchen where you see Tenya picking up a meal for the both of you.

"Why hello darling, how was your day?" He pivots on the spot to face you, a warm smile plastered on his face.

You let out a quiet sigh before replying, "It was okay." You flash a week smile before joining him at the dining room table.

Supper was rather quiet, not sharing conversation other than simple "mhm" and "yeah's".

"Love, can I talk to you for a minute?" Iida asks as you both head to the living room.

"Sure... what about?" You trail off when you notice your littlespace blanket neatly draped on the couch. You thought that was put away long ago.

"Come sit down with me, darling." Iida insists, motioning to the spot on the couch next to him. You take a seat, sitting awkwardly as you wonder what it is Tenya wants to talk about.

"How are you feeling, love?"

"I'm fine..." You say with a fake smile.

"Well... I don't mean to intrude, and let me know if I'm overstepping your boundaries but there seems to be something bothering you, and you haven't regressed in a while. I'm starting to get a little worried."

"I'm fine really, there's nothing wrong babe. I haven't regressed because I haven't needed it."

Iida's face drops, easily expressing his concern.

"Darling... are you sure? You've gone a long time without it and that's unusual for you."

"I'm sure..."

Tenya can easily tell that you're lying, so he decides to resort to other tactics.

"Would you like to cuddle? He opens his arms, and allows you to crawl into them. He holds you close while covering you both in your special blanket. The soft, warm texture against your skin helps you to relax. "You know you can always come to me for anything, right?" You nod as Tenya places a gentle kiss on your forehead.

You can't hold your emotions back any longer and you feel your eyes begin to well up with tears. Tenya holds you tight and begins to rub your back.

"Hey, shhh... I'm here..." You just want to regress and let all your worries go away. You just want your daddy and to be take care of.

"Shhh baby... tell daddy what's wrong." Tenya places several more kisses on top of your head, continuing to rub your back in soothing circles."

"You don't have to be my daddy anymore..." You grab a fist full of Tenya's clothing, squeezing till your knuckles are white. "I'm sorry... I don't want you to be mad because I'm weird."

Iida furrows his brows as he holds you close.
"Darling... I don't think you're weird or anything of the sort. I want nothing more than to take care of you and make you happy. It makes me happy to call you my little one, angel."

"A-are you sure..? C-cus I know some people don't like littles..."

"What? Who told you that, princess/prince? Who on earth could possibly dislike my little girl/boy?" Iida loosens his hold on you and studies your face.

"My... my previous caregiver... they... w-weren't very nice." You start to cry again, tears burning your eyes as you sniffle and try to hold back, but fail.

"Oh baby... I'm so sorry." Iida pulls you back into his arms, his hand placed on your head as he gently rubs his fingertips in your hair. "You don't have to tell me right now, but I just want you to know that when you're ready, you can tell me anything."

You nuzzle your head against his chest as you start to calm down to a sniffle.
"Would you like to be little right now, baby?"

Giving him a nod you make a quiet "Mhm".

"Okay little one... daddy's going to put you in some jammies and then we'll go cuddle. How does that sound?" Iida gives you a kiss on the forehead as he stands up from the couch with you in his arms. You cling onto him as tight as you can, not ever wanting to let go.

Iida dresses you in one of your onesies, and tucks you into bed before crawling in next to you himself.
He grabs the pacifier from earlier and removes the cap.

"Here baby, open wide for me." You open your mouth and let him slip the teat in past your lips, happily accepting it to suck on. Butterflies rustle in your stomach as you gently suck on your pacifier, something you haven't done in a while. Tenya clips the paci clip to your onsie before pulling you on top of him.

Your head rests on his chest where you can hear his heartbeat, sending a relaxing feeling throughout  your body. You feel Iida's large, warm hand resting on your back. This is the comfort you've longed for for so long, and you finally feel relaxed.

"Your daddy loves you so, so much baby. I promise I will always be there for you, and you can come to me for anything."

You finally relax enough to fall asleep, your eyes fluttering shut as you cuddle into your caregiver.
