Tommy smiled happily as he lifted a rock into the air, pretending it was flying. The rock had a face painted on it, and there were a few other rocks too. "Weee!" Tommy said happily as he played. Tommy was regressed right now, he tended to regress a lot due to, well, everything that's happened to him. It definitely helped a lot in exile.
There had been a few times he had almost gotten caught regressing, although he always came up with some excuse, and forced himself out of littlespace. Although today Tommy didn't hear the sound of the Nether portal. Dream walked through the portal into Tommy's exile, and saw Tommy outside his tent... playing with rocks?
Something was off here.
Dream walked over towards the boy and spoke. "Tommy. What are you doing." He said, looking down at Tommy. Tommy felt everything stop in that very moment. He had just gotten caught. Dream was going to make sure he never did this again- He'd take away everything from him- Or hurt him- Or something! Tommy hadn't realized his breathing started to quicken.
Dream noticed however.
Suddenly he realized. Tommy was a regressor. How did he not notice earlier? All those times he had heard that small tone to his voice, or him nervously and quickly trying to tuck stuff away. All those times he flinched easier, or smiled at something like a bird flying by.
"Tommy? Are you regressed right now bug?" He asked softly, kneeling down in front of the panicked boy. Tommy looked up at him in surprise, and softly nodded. "How old are you feeling right now sweetheart?" Dream asked. Tommy answered with a small "Twee.."
Dream smiled and replied. "Thank you darling, now what's all this? Are you playing?" He asked the little. "Uh-huh! I pwayin wif my toys!" Tommy said cheerfully. "That's nice bug, are these your only.. uh.. 'toys'" Dream asked. "Uh-huh.. I don have any asual toys.." Tommy said sadly. "How about I get you some for the next time I visit? Would that be okay?" Dream offered. Tommy perked up with excitement. "Yes pwease!" He exclaimed.
Dream smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll make sure to get some later." Tommy hugged Dream happily and smiled. "Fank ou!" He said.
"You're welcome sweetheart." Dream smiled happily. "Now what are you playing?" Dream asked, and Tommy began to explain the entire storyline he has come up with.

Little Tommy (0-2)
Nicknames for Tommy: Baby, little one, sweetheart
It was a cold morning, as usual. Just another day in exile for Tommy. His head felt so fuzzy but he couldn't place the feeling. Every small thing made it fuzzier, although when the portal sounded he got startled. He didn't ever get startled like that? But Tommy brushed it off and went outside his tent to greet Dream. He wasn't sure how he'd react if Dream was mad given this fuzziness.
"Good morning Tom." Dream spoke, digging a hole. Tommy already knew the drill, although he felt more saddened than usual placing it in. He took a second before Dream spoke. "Tommy. You know what to do. Stuff in the hole." which scared him enough to place it all in. Why was that so scary? Tommy felt the fuzzy feeling build up even more. He found it difficult to form coherent thoughts, and to stand as well.
Dream lit the TnT and backed up. Tommy tried to walk back to avoid the explosion, but he fell over, not being able to walk. The explosion sounded and Tommy immediately got terrified and began to sob, but this didn't sound like normal crying? Suddenly he felt pieces of ember hit him and he heard the sizzle of fire burning through his clothes and getting on his skin.
Dream looked strangely at Tommy, but walked over to help him. "Tommy stop crying- you'll be fine." He said, picking the boy off the ground and placing him down. Tommy, however, continued to sob, and tried to speak but only babbles came out. Thats when Dream realized. Tommy was regressed. Since when did Tommy do that-?
Dream started to remember all the little ticks Tommy had. He had been more easily startled lately, he'd whine more, or find it difficult to speak, find more joy in seemingly worthless things. Dream suddenly picked Tommy up and began to rub his back, and soothe the boy. "Shh.. it's okay little one.." Dream spoke.
Tommy leaned into Dream's shoulder and began to calm down, although his face was red and stained with tears. Dream walked them to Tommy's tent and placed the boy down on his bed, although he had to keep Tommy from falling over. Dream wiped the tears that remained on Tommy's cheeks, and pulled out a healing potion.
"Sweetheart I'm gonna have to take your shirt off to help your burns, okay?" Dream told him, so he didn't put up a fuss. Tommy didn't say anything just babbled a small "Eh."
Dream lifted Tommy's shirt off and placed it next to the boy, pouring some of the potion over the burns on his back, and some on his arms and stomach. Tommy babbled happily feeling much better, and reached out for Dream.
"Hi baby" Dream smiled, putting Tommy's shirt back on him and sitting next to him. Dream lifted Tommy into his lap and rocked him back and forth. Tommy yawned, rubbing his eyes with small fists, and he soon fell asleep. Dream smiled and tucked the boy under the covers, leaving.
A/N: kinda inspired by a comment on the one chapter, but basically these r like how dream discovered tommy was a regressor and started taking care of him :3
