warnings: refusing to regress, crying little, slightly forced regression
Plot: Niki hasn't regressed in months so during a Syndicate meeting, she keeps zoning out and the syndicate members try to get her to regress, but she regresses while they were talking about ideas, and Techno yelled at her, causing her to cry and breakdown
—
"Niki? You doing okay?" Ranboo asked. "I'm fine. No need to worry." Niki replied, staring at the members awkwardly. "Well, you have been zoning out a lot, and you haven't really said a word!" Phil pointed out. And well, he was right.
Niki hadn't regressed in over 3 months, and it's finally getting to her. There's so much stress going on in the world, and she just wishes she could be under a blanket, with her favorite stuffed animal, and be comforted, but she shook away those thoughts.
"Okay guys, I think that's it for this meeting. Let's get Niki to regress now. It might be forced but it'll be good for her." Techno announced. The rest agreed and looked back at her. She was staring at the stuffed animal that was on the couch.
"Niki!" Phil asked, slightly raising his voice so she would snap out of the trace she was in. "Hm?"
"Niki, I see that you have your eye on Milo. Do you want him?" Phil asked. Her eyes lit up at the offer, but declined.
"C'mon Niki, you got to regress or else you'll be stressing for longer!" Techno snapped. Niki had already slipped out of stress and sleep deprivation.
She started to tear up. The three ran to her. "Are you okay?" Phil asked, holding her close. She rapidly shook her head, mumbling the word no, but it came out as a series of jumbled up words.
"Ranboo, take her to the couch, now!" Phil gave Niki to him, and Ranboo ran off with Niki in his arms.
He sat her down. "Hey Niki, wanna tell me how old you are?" Ranboo asked in a calm voice. She held up a fist, then shook her head. "I see. You're feeling extra little today aren't you?" She nodded, a small smile on her face could be seen.
"Do you wanna get into more comfy clothes and then get some toys?" She was too focused on on Ranboo taking her to the bedroom to hear the fighting between Phil and Techno.
He got her a nice cute outfit

"You comfy now little one?" Ranboo asked, and Niki nodded happily. Ranboo gave her a pink and blue paci, along with a Bunny stuffy.
"Do you wanna talk to Phil and Techno now?" He asked. She was hesitant to answer, but nodded yes.
He took her to the meeting room, and Techno and Phil were giving each other the silent treatment.
She pointed at them and looked sad. Ranboo felt his heart break. "Okay. Techno, Phil, I want you to make up right this instant. I think that's the only way for Niki to be okay." Ranboo ordered, and the two eldest didn't hesitate to try and make up. They tried to verbally do it, so she knew they had 'made up'. "I'm sorry for yelling Phil, I shouldn't have." Techno said, and Phil replied, "That's okay Tech. I know you were just worried." And they hugged.
Niki smiled cheerfully, clapping her hands.
They three were happy she was happy.
They put off meetings or any important events. They wanted Niki to be stress free, so they kept her little for as long as possible.
