Sickie/Little: Minho

Caregiver: Seungmin

No one's POV.:
Ever since he first slipped, Minho had been shy about his headspace. It had taken him over a year to tell his members about it even though they all lived together most of the time. He knew they didn't judge him and wouldn't make fun of him for the things he did while regressed but he still held himself back when it came to slipping around his members. Either he slipped old enough to speak properly or non-verbal, too shy to let the others hear his baby babbles. They took good care of him and Minho loved having someone take care of him but it could always only be one member. As soon as there was more than one other person present, the dancer would get overwhelmed and pull himself out of his headspace. It was safe to say that taking care of the little wasn't easy but the members were slowly getting the hang of it, making sure to give him space while having one person take care of him. They tried to make sure that every member took care of Minho for an equal amount of time. This way hopefully he'd be able to trust all of them and at some point, slip in front of more than one other person. Despite them all having considerably little experience, they picked up on a few of the dancer's quirks. For example, he needed to have bath time before dinner, not the other way around, he needed to have his stuffed cat around every time he slept and when he was very little, he loved pacifiers but would grow extremely uncomfortable if he was offered one when he didn't feel young enough.

Another little quirk was, that when he went to sleep in his headspace, he'd inevitably wake up regressed too, so when Felix tucked him into bed one evening, the Aussie knew he'd still be little the next morning. Talking to the rest of the group, they didn't see another option than to call the dancer in sick the following day. Since it was Seungmin's turn to take care of him next, they convinced their manager that Minho was too sick to be left alone. Although it was a rare chance to sleep in, Seungmin got up early with the rest of the group. They let Minho sleep as long as possible, while the vocalist took the opportunity to prepare a cute breakfast for the little. He made blueberry pancakes with some fruit salad on the side, surprising himself with how long it actually took to make. Somehow Minho was still asleep by the time Seungmin was done, so the vocalist decided to wake him, wanting the boy to have as much of his free day as possible. He heard some soft snoring when he entered their shared room and cooed at the sleeping boy, who had tangled himself in his blanket. "Hey there, sleepyhead", he smiled, petting Minho's hair. The dancer whined quietly, rolling over and snuggling into his pillow, making the other laugh: "I see how it is, hyung has to eat all the pancakes by himself." That certainly caught the little's attention and he sat up with a sleepy pout on his lips.

"Good morning, kitten", Seungmin cooed, smoothing the dancer's hair down. Minho only blinked at him dazedly before his eyes grew distant. "h-gsh! h- hkshhu *sniff*", he sneezed, covering his face with his blanket. Gently brushing the itchy tears away, Seungmin cooed: "Aww, you didn't catch a cold now, did you, sweetheart?" The little shook his head making grabby hands at his caregiver. He was promised pancakes, so where were they? Chuckling, the vocalist picked him up and carried him to the dining table. "Kitten, can you tell hyung how old you feel? Old enough for pancakes and fruit?", Seungmin asked, fastening a bib around Minho's neck. The little nodded eagerly, holding up four fingers. He still didn't feel like talking, especially because his throat felt a little sore, but he knew the other was used to him being non-verbal. The dancer waited patiently while his caregiver got his food. Placing the fork between both of them, Seungmin asked: "Should I feed you or do you want to eat by yourself?" Hesitantly, Minho pointed at Seungmin, wanting the other to feed him but by the time, the vocalist had picked up a piece of fruit, the little was urgently shaking his head. Seungmin waited confused. Had the other changed his mind suddenly? With watering eyes, Minho brought his hand up to his face. "Hh'ktCHhsx!" – "Aw, bless you kitten", the caregiver cooed, feeding him his fruit as soon as the little opened his mouth. Minho kept sniffling throughout his meal and as soon as he had finished his breakfast, he made grabby hands at the other. Picking up the plate, Seungmin laughed: "In a second, sweetheart. Hyung needs to wash this first."
