[Jake's POV]

 I woke up with the sun glistening through the curtains hanging over the windows. My eyes were blurry with sleep, but quickly focused when I stretched and sat up. The time on my phone read 8:27 a.m. Guess Albert won't be up for awhile. I decided to go ahead and get up, fixing my hair in the mirror and getting the sleep look off my face. I got dressed and grabbed my phone, then headed downstairs slowly and quietly. I made my way into the kitchen and looked around. Albert wasn't anywhere to be seen, so now I was sure he was asleep. I looked inside of the fridge for any snacks. I grabbed an apple, but before I shut the fridge I noticed a large amount of juice boxes. Hm. I didn't think anything of and shut the fridge, then sat down on the couch and munched on my apple.

[Albert's POV]

   My alarm went off with a loud buzz and a really annoying ringing sound that hurt my ears extremely bad. I really needed to change that. "Mmmnhhh.." I whined softly. I turned off the alarm and barely moved from under my blankets. I didn't wanna get up. I turned on my side and curled into a slight ball. I knew I was little, but how would I tell Jake? Maybe I could just stay in my room for the time until I'm not little and just hide away forever and ev—

"Hey, Al? You up? I heard your alarm." Nooo.

"U-uhm, y-yeahs.. I'm awake.." I knew my voice was childish and soft, but I hoped he didn't notice. He peeked his head into my room and saw me still laying down. He tilted his head slightly but didn't really mention anything.

"Hey, c'mon, maaaan. It's already 11:15, get uuup. I wanna go do stuff today." He had the same smile on his face I knew him by. I knew he wanted to hang out but I just didn't think I could. I forced a small smile on my face and spoke in my best non-littlespace voice.

"Yeah.. be down soon, dude." With that, he shut the door and I let out a soft sigh. I pulled the blankets close to my face and decided to reluctantly get up. I stumbled out of bed and pulled on some clothes. I decided it was a cute outfit, a white button down shirt under a light blue and white striped sweater, khaki pants, and high top thick sole Converse that were a light blue as well. I had some cute little pearls and bracelets on as well. It wasn't too much of an obvious littlespace outfit, so I thought I could get away with it. I grabbed my lanyard that had my agere stuff on it (such as little fidget chains and a paci) and stuffed it in my pocket. I looked at myself in the mirror, took a deep breath, then made my way downstairs to meet Jake.

[Jake's POV]

I watched as Albert made his way down the stairs as I finished my apple. He looked very... adorable. It was almost childlike, in a sort. It made me blush slightly. I threw away the uneaten apple core and smiled at Albert. "Good morning, sleepyhead," I said to him with a laugh. He giggled softly and grabbed a juice box from the fridge, then sipped out of it gently. "Sooo, if you're up for it, I was thinking we could go see a movie today." He looked at me with the most innocent smile and nodded his head excitedly, his fluffy hair shaking with every movement. It wasn't very odd to me to see Al acting so childish, but this time it was more... realistic. Like that little five year old on the plane. I let the thought sit in the back of my mind and didn't think much more of it.

"Ooh, yeah, we- we can go see TMNT Mutant Meyhem!! If you're int-er-ested," he added softly, like he was a bit embarrassed to say it. The way he spaced out the word interested, he said it so gently and just like a 4 year old that struggled to say big words. I nodded my head with a smile at him.

"Of course! I've been wanting to watch it, I'm not gonna lie. I heard it's really good." He nodded with a quiet hum and bounced up and down slightly, flapping his hands as he did so. He was stimming, my brain told me. Yeah, no shit. Look at him, he's so adorable and happy. I sat down on the couch and watched as he followed, but he sat on the floor instead with his legs outstretched in front of him. He held his juice box in his mouth, sipping it occasionally. "So what time would you wanna go see it?" I asked, looking down at him.

"I dunno, eheh.." He sort of played off the question and took another sip of his juice. I could hear the slurp of the straw so I could tell he was running out. His voice was so childish, childish, childish. I sat and thought for a minute, then pulled out my phone like I was pretending to check the screening times for the movie. I searched up a few behaviors that he was doing and clicked on a link. It led to a website that explained a certain thing called age regression, and it suddenly clicked. Ohhhh. I looked at him a bit more and he looked at me with a tilted head, like a confused puppy. So I read a bit more, then decided to test something out.

[Albert's POV]

Jake looked at me and asked me a question I wasn't expecting. It startled me, even. He asked, "How old are you, Al?" It took me a little bit to respond, since I was still piecing together how he looked at his phone, at me, then back at his phone, then back at me. I figured it was only right to tell him, he didn't look too disturbed, or at least that's what my littlespace brain thought. "I— I'm fourz.." I tucked my head down and took another sip of my juice. I knew my face was red with embarrassment. 

Jake slid down off the couch and next to me and put an arm around me. "Alrighty, then, kiddo." He had that same comforting smile on his face, the one I knew, the one I loved. It made me smile slightly as I finished off my juice box and set it on the ground next to me. "So you still wanna go to the movies? Or do you wanna wait until you aren't so small and adorable?" he asked with a slight giggle. 

"We stay for nows..?" I asked, looking at him. He nodded, which relieved a bit of anxiety. I didn't like being little in public and once I was little, i couldn't really retain it. It was a bad habit. I leaned against him and sighed, relaxed. Not a care in the world. He held me in his arms gently, like he was a big huge teddy bear I could cuddle for hours!

"We'll stay just like this for as long as you wanna, kiddo."

A/N YAAAAY I FINISHED ITTTT!! IN LIKE 2 HOURS 💀 uhh anyways I hope you enjoyed it! if not, sorry bout that, I kinda based albert off myself since I age regress, and if I lose fans for it then so be it, your opinion won't bother me bc you're a random stranger on the internet <3 anyways!! sorry for the really long wait, I've been really caught up with life, such as drama, school, and not having access to wattpad. super sorry, I lost a best friend that I've known for 3 years from the drama (not su1c1d3, just from not being friends anymore), so writing this fic brought back some painful memories of getting them introduced. But I decided to try and not think about it, so I'm moving on!! I'm living a much better life without them, so yea!! sorry for the long note lmao, but I'll try and update better! have a great day <3
