the next day

i yawned sleepily and stretched my arms out above my head, groaning in satisfaction.

i opened my eyes, shocked at first at the unfamiliar bedroom until i remembered i was at billies house now.

last night, when we'd got home, she'd shown me where i would sleep until our relationship progressed. which, since it wasn't a huge house, was also going to be my little room.

when she'd told me this, i'd already been regressed and i hadn't understood everything exactly. and even though the room was far from finished and mostly bare, i'd gasped in amazement when she'd opened the door.

the walls were pastel yellow, white, and pink. the white bed in the corner had looked sort of like a crib crossed with a regular bed, except with only bars on three sides. or at least that's what i'd thought, until billie had pulled up the last side after putting me to bed. the bedcovers had little cartoon wolves on them. there was a big white dresser against the wall that billie hadn't let me look in yet, enough though i'd asked multiple times.

and to top it all off, when she'd handed me wolfie and my blankie, she'd also given me a present. a black pacifier, with a green blohsh in the center, plus little blohshes around the ring.

i'd gaped in surprise. i think i'd asked her twice if she was sure it was for me, even after she'd said she got it custom made.

i found it now lying by my head. i smiled giddily as i remembered how happy billies' expression had been when she'd given it to me.

i sat up, gazing around at the room again. the door was open a tiny crack, and just a bit of light shone through, allowing me to see.

i looked up at bars of the bed, wondering if i should wait for billie to free me or just jump over them. they weren't as big as my littleself had thought, so i knew it wouldn't be too hard. except i might not land on my feet.

deciding to just hop over, i stood up unsteadily on the mattress. it crinkled as i moved. it felt oddly almost exactly like my bed at home had, which was nice. i didn't want to go through however many sleepless nights until i would've gotten used to it.

i wondered momentarily how strong the bars on the side that went down were, then decided not to test it and supported myself on one of the other sides.

i got over easily, but as i'd predicted i lost my balance when i let go and ended up falling on my butt, causing a loud thud.

"oopsie," i mumbled, giggling. i'd better go find billie before she comes to see what happened.

as i had thought might happen, i almost ran into billie coming to check on me. i blushed as i looked up at her, feeling guilty even though she hadn't mentioned anything about me not being able to get up by myself.

billie furrowed her brow, looking first at me in confusion then at the room behind me. "what happened?" she asked.

i shrugged. "i got out and then i fell," i stated simply, avoiding her eyes.

her mouth lifted at the corners a little. "did you hurt yourself?"

i shake my head no, and she chuckles a bit. "are you hungry?"

i nod vigorously, which she laughs at again. "okay, c'mon, i'll get you some cereal. sound good?"

after i nod again, she takes my hand and leads me to sit at the table, then grabs a couple different boxes of cereal and asks me which one i want.

she gets me a bowl and pours some oat milk in it. i wrinkle my nose at it, but don't comment.

she sits down next to me, clearing her throat to catch my attention.

i look up with my mouth full and tilt my head questioningly at her.

she smiles. "i just wanted to tell you some of the rules for now, okay?" she waits for my uncertain nod, then continues. "if you aren't comfortable with some, just tell me and we'll talk about it, alright?"

i nod, still a bit worried but i hide it.

"okay. first off, do you see that clock there?" she points to a pink alarm clock on the mantle. i nod again.

"it goes off three times a day. when it goes off, we both stop whatever we're doing and hug. you got that?" she explains with a smile.

i stare at her in confusion for a moment, then swallow nosily so i can speak. "is that really necessary?"

her smile drops. "yes. yes it is."

intimidated by her eyes, i look back to my food.

"second, bedtime is ten-thirty. no later, except for special occasions. i want you to get your pjs on at ten, and then you can read in bed until then. that okay?"

i nod, truthfully not minding having a bedtime. maybe it would be easier to get enough sleep with it.

she goes on with her list. "when we go out, stay by my side and don't talk to any strangers without my permission. i want you to eat at least two full meals, and drink two full glasses of water everyday. if i do something you don't like, tell me," she emphasized the last two words heavily, looking straight into my eyes. i didn't look away because i was scared she would be unhappy with me.

she held my gaze for a few moments, then went on again. "when you go to bed while age regressed i'm going to put the crib bars up. if you wake up and i'm not there call for me; don't jump out again, i don't want you to hurt yourself. and i want you to try and nap at least once a day, unless there are events occurring that don't allow that. if you can't fall asleep after half an hour then you can get up," when she finishes, she looks back to me, her expression softening at the worry on my face.

"does that all sound okay, babygirl?" she murmurs gently, brushing my hair behind my ear.

i nod again. "c-could you write them all down somewhere, maybe?" i asked shyly, staring at my hands.

"aww, of course i can angel, but i'm not so worried about you breaking them, okay? i'm not going to get awfully upset with you if you see a friend at the mall and run to go say hi, or if you forget to drink water. for these rules, no punishments, okay? we'll get to that later. remember, no matter what happens, we're equal in this relationship," she says reassuringly, bending a bit to see my face.

"okay," i mumble, still refusing to meet her gaze.

"good," she states, straightening up. her tone becomes much lighter. "now, why don't you go get dressed and then we'll do some online shopping for when you're little, alright?"

i nod and push away from the table. truthfully, i didn't really want to shop for little things. i would probably just get embarrassed. but i didn't think i could get out of it.

i put on my red tour hoodie (a/n this hoodie is so freaking incredible) and my lululemon joggers because i felt lazy and still kinda tired from the late night.

when i went to find billie again, she was sitting on the couch with her laptop opened. she patted the spot next to her and lifted her arm as an indication for me to come sit and snuggle with her.

after i had gotten comfortable i looked at what she had on the screen.

oh boy, my face was going to be red as a tomato in no time.

1312 words.

oh look another update. guess this might not be the last one.

idk i got inspired and wrote this in an hour so enjoy.

im in whistler right now and i don't have my plot points notes for this book so we'll see what happens.
