sapnap wasn't supposed to regress.

he promised himself that he wouldn't months in advance, not wanting to turn christmas into a day of babysitting for his best friends.

he can't help it though, when he wakes up to the gentle flicker of the christmas lights on his desk and the distant sound of someone listening to michael bublé downstairs. his mind immediately tumbles deep into regression, feeling himself slip further and further until he's probably hovering at the age of four or five.

still, there's a part of him that grasps to his adult thoughts, telling himself this isn't allowed. sapnap tries to pull himself back into a better headspace but his little mind refuses, clinging to stay present in the warmth of his bed, surrounded by heat.

sapnap can smell food cooking too, maybe bacon, and the thought of someone else providing for him just settles him further down into the cloud of his regression. he knows it's christmas even while regressed - it's like some innate feeling settled deep in his bones that says, yep, it's christmas.

he was buzzing even when big last night, undeniably excited to give and receive presents and eat good food. dream promised to cook and his food is always the best, a trait he got from his mother. they have other traditions too, like playing board games after dinner and watching christmas movies before bed while eating the snacks they got in their stockings.

he's so excited for all of it, excited enough to leave the warmth of his bed and go skipping downstairs to start the day but...

but he's small, and he's not supposed to be.

maybe that's unfair to himself, because he can't really control it a lot of the time, and there's no actual reason why he can't be regressed, it just feels... wrong. the trio waited so long for the chance to finally celebrate christmas together. last year was amazing, but dream had to leave during the day to be with his family and george was still half unpacked because he's lazy and put it off for months.

now, they're all here and settled, and it feels like their first christmas even though it isn't, and sapnap thinks he is supposed to be big for that. he can't imagine his friends would want to spend the day babysitting little him, they're probably excited to finally just be three lads on a special day, reunited at last.

sapnap doesn't want to ruin that. even in his little mindset, he knows it would be bad. he wants to go and have fun but that would be naughty, so he doesn't.

instead, he stays curled up in his bed, basking in the warmth and breathing slowly as his mind still teeters on the edge of sleep. he thinks, in an ideal world, he will be able to self-soothe himself out of his regression. maybe if he just spends a little longer in bed, soaking up the atmosphere and relaxing, he will be able to get a better grip on his big mindset and be his normal self for the length of the day.

he might even let himself regress tonight, when they have all retired to their rooms and he is alone and out of their way, but not now. not when he is supposed to be big.
