Y/n age regressors sometimes, and in this story she does and Aether, Swiss and Rain comforts/looks after them.
TW: arguing, crying
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You were walking through the ministry trying to find Aether to talk because you were bored. You heard heard his voice down a hallway leading to one of the living rooms on the ghoul floor of the ministry and you walked towards it and heard 3 voices, Aethers being one of them. "What are you doing Rain, that's not right!!" Swiss shouts from behind the door, "No this is right! You're the one doing it wrong you stupid ass!" Rain shouts back, their tails all lashing around angrily, making you flinch. They are angry. "Boys be quiet." Swiss tries to calm them but they both keep arguing. "WILL YOU BOTH BE QUIET AND GET OVER YOURSELVES!" Swiss shouts. You slowly walk into the room, and then their head snap to you, "Go away." Rain's says without thought in the middle of his shouting. You immediately look down as your lip begins to quiver and you bite ut to stop it moving. "I'm sowwy." You say, immediately feeling small from remembering that time in your life.
You turn around and then run out of the room to your bedroom and then lay on your bed and start to cry. You grab your pillow and sob into your pillow, not wanting to get tears on your teddies. "Y/n?" You hear Swiss' voice as he knocks on your door. "Go 'way." You say and he sighs and you hear the floor boards creaking, getting closer to you. You flinch and let out a sob when you feel a gentle hand on your shoulder. "Y/n, im so sorry you had to hear our shouts. Can i give you a hug?" Swiss asks and you let out a tiny nod. "C'mere little one." He says and then gently picks you up into his lap. You take a couple of deep breaths and then hug him tightly. "I'm so sorry." He says and strokes your hair and you completely regress. "Is Rain mad at me?" You ask and Swiss shakes his head. "No honey, he was just mad at Aether, but they have resolved it now. Do you want to go see them?" He asks and you take a deep shaky breath and then nod. "I want eeyore." You say and use the back of your hand to wipe your eyes." "That's it, take a few deep breaths. Calm down, you're okay. You're safe." Swiss says and you nod and then stand up and run to eeyore. "Now let's go see Aether and Rain okay?" Swiss asks and you nod and then grab his hand and run back to them, now feeling much better.
"Whoa slow down fay." He says and you smile. Fay was a nickname you had when you were younger. "I'm sorry swiss." You say and he chuckles, "It's okay honey." He says and then you get to the room. "I'm sorry y/n for what I said." Rain says and gets on one knee in front of you. "It okay." You say and boop his nose and then you all giggle. "Do you want your blankie? How about we watch a movie!" Rain says and you nod your head really quickly. "Let goo." He says and then picks you up and flies you in the air for a second and you put your arms out like an aeroplane. He put you down and then you drag him towards the sofa. You smile at Aether and then sit in his lap and pull Rain to sit next to you. You put your head against Aethers chest and then look up at him and boop his chin. You let out a happy giggle and then keep booping him.
"What movie are we watching?" Swiss asks and he sits next to you, on the opposite side of Rain. "DUMBOO!" You scream and then look at the tv waiting for him to put it in. "YAY!!" You cheer when it starts playing, then you shuffle back in Aethers lap until your comfortable and then put your head against his chest and watch it. During the beginning you look up at Aether with a mischievous smile and then gently tap his cheek with your tail and Rain and you giggle. Aether looks down pretending to be angry and then starts tickling your sides and you let out loud giggles and then tell him to stop and he does.
"Who wants popcorn?!" Rain asks a few minutes later, and you look at him and nod. "Meeeee!" You say and then he gets up and goes into the kitchen. A few minutes later he comes out with the popcorn and you quickly jump up and grab a bit. You eat it while watching and then everyone eats it. You sit through the movie with your blanket and your teddy and then it finishes.
By the time it is finished you are asleep. You sound like your purring as well and the ghouls are all cooing over how cute you look. Aether picks you up and then carries you to your room and when he lays you down you don't let go of him even in your asleep state. He lays down on your bed with you on top of him while you take a nap.
"Good afternoon little one." He says when he sees your eyes squinting and you feel his hands running through your hair. "Mornin." You say and then look up at him, your tail starts thumping on the bed when you immediately get all your energy back. "Let's go for a walk?" You ask and he nods and you smile. You stand up and then he goes into your wardrobe. "It's a bit chilly outside today, so let's change you into some warmer clothes okay?" He asks and you nod. You pick out a flowery top and some leggings and then a jacket to wear and some trainers and then go get changed in the bathroom, and Aether helps you tie your shoes up. "Can we get Swiss and Rain?" You ask Aether after grabbing his hand and walking out of your room. "Of course fay, let goooo!" He says and you giggle and then run towards the living room.
"We're going on a walk!!!!" You shout and then Swiss and Rain turn to you with a smile and then quickly get up. "YAY!" Swiss shouts and you giggle and then put your arms up and he picks you up and then carries you to the back door of the ministry. He sets you down and they all put their shoes on and then you open the door and walk out. You walk down the stairs and then run towards some flowers. They are pink and orange and really cute and you put your hand across one of them and admire them. "Pretty." You say to Rain as he catches up first. "I know right! Be careful not to break them okay?" He asks and you nod. You admire all of the pretty flowers close by and then start chewing on your lips. "Honey, do you want your dummy?" Swiss asks and you nod.
He then walks back inside and walks out with your teddies and your blanket and your dummy! (Pacifier for American btw) He wraps your blanket around your shoulders and then clips one end of the clip to your jacket and then you grab the dummy and pit it in your mouth, now it can't fall on the floor. "Fank you Swiss." You say and then he hands you eeyore and you smile and grab him and hug him tight. "Fank 'u." You say and then run to the next flowers. "Look eeyore, these ones are blue." You say and show him and the ghouls watch from a close distance as you admire all the flowers. "Can we go see Papa? I want him to see the pretty flowers as well!" You squeal and then the nod. "Of course doll." Aether says and then holds your hand and you then wall to Papa's office. "Papa, look who's here." Aether says as he opens the door. "Hello little one." Papa says and you run over and hug him. "Do you wanna go see da flowers?" You ask and he nods, "Of course doll." He says and you quickly drag him out of his seat and back out to the flowers. You admire all the flowers together with eeyore and then get a bit cold. After hours of being littke the feeling has slowly started fading away. "Can we go back inside? I'm cold." You say and then Papa looks at you. "Of course honey, are you still small?" He asks and you shake your head. "Okay, that's fine, let's go back inside." He says and you nod your head.
You walk back inside and then go to Papa's room and end up falling asleep watching fantastic Mr. Fox!
Bonus
"I think im ready to tell everyone else." You say, you are currently laid in Papa's bed with him, only waking up a few minutes ago. "Are you sure?" He asks and you think for a second and then nod. "Yeah, yeah I am. I don't want to lie to the other aboit it anymore." You say and then he nods, "How about we tell them now?" He asks and you nod and then get out of bed. You walk down to the common room together and luckily they are all sat there. "Heu guys, I would like to tell you something." You say and stand in front of them. "Go on." Sodo says and you take a deep breath. "I age regress, sometimes. It's when someone's brain reverts to a younger mindset to deal with stress and/or trauma." You say and everyone nods. "I usually regress to about 6 years old, and I am finally ready to tell you all." You finish and everyone smiles and nods. "I'm so proud of you for telling us!" Cumulus says and walks forward and hugs you. Then you all play a small game together.
