Demon Slayer Little Space Oneshots

Cg Akaza/Little Douma

Please note, in this oneshot, there is a bit of swearing, Akaza is really mean to Douma for most of this, but he is kinder towards the end, and there is also a timeout and a meltdown contained in this oneshot. Please tell me if there are any more warnings I should add.

Douma was so glad that the Upermoon meeting was over. He had been trying not to be small the whole time, but now he was free to be small and hang out with his caregiver, Akaza, or that is what Douma thought. Instead, when he approached Akaza, he got ignored. Douma tried multiple times to get Akaza's attention, only to be ignored.

Douma huffed. "Kaza!" He whined as he continuously poked Akaza in the back. "What?!" Akaza snapped, whirling around to glare at Douma. "I, uh, nothing!" Douma said quickly, not knowing how Akaza would react if he told him that he was regressed. Would he get mad at Douma for wasting his time with this? Douma didn't know, so he didn't mention it.

"If you have nothing to tell me, then don't bother me." Akaza growled at Douma before storming away to who knows where. Douma stood there for a few seconds, bottom lip wobbling. As he finally fully processed what had happened, he ran off to his room before the tears could spill, but as soon as he got to his room and closed the door, tears started to fall down his cheeks.

"Akaza's an asshole." Douma muttered to himself, wiping the tears away harshly, causing his eyes to sting slightly. Douma sat down, curling into himself, biting down on his finger harshly, making it bleed. It healed in a couple of seconds, and he did it again, repeating the process for a while, losing track of time.

He was brought back to reality when he heard his door creaking open. He moved so that now his eyes were just visible above his arms so that he could glare at whoever had entered the room. Seeing that it was Akaza, his eyes widened, and he hid again, ducking his head below his arms. "Douma?" Akaza called, uncertainly evident in his voice.

"What?!" Douma snapped, sitting up properly as he glared at Akaza. "Jeez, what's wrong with you?" Akaza said, not thinking before he spoke. "What the fuck do you think, Akaza?" Douma hissed. Akaza was taken aback. "Don't talk to me like that." Akaza warned.

"Why not?" Douma asked sarcastically. "Because I don't want you to, and I also know that you are regressed." Akaza answered. "What does me being regressed at the moment have anything to do with this?" Douma muttered, crossing his arms and looking away from Akaza, pouting. "You shouldn't be swearing whilst you are little." Akaza replied, matter of factly.

"Sure, shit head." Douma whispered under his breath, but it wasn't quiet enough as Akaza heard him. "That's it. Time out. Get in the corner, now." Akaza told Douma. Douma brought a hand up to his chin, tapping it in faux thought. "Hmm... no." He said.

Akaza stared at Douma for a few seconds before grabbing Douma and dragging him into the corner, dropping him there and turning him around so that all Douma could see was the corner of the room that he was facing. Akaza left the room, leaving Douma there.

Akaza came back after five minutes. "Are you ready to come out and apologize?" He asked. After a minute passed and Douma still hadn't replied, Akaza huffed, walking away again. He once again came back after five minutes to check on Douma, and once again, Douma didn't respond.

Akaza left again, only coming back after ten minutes this time, and Douma still did not respond to him. Akaza was now getting concerned but decided to leave Douma for ten more minutes to cool down, and then hopefully, he would talk to Akaza after being in the corner for thirty minutes in total.

When Akaza returned to the room where Douma was, he saw Douma still sitting silently in the corner. Akaza had a bad feeling, but he brushed it off for the time being. "Douma, you can come out now." Akaza said. Douma just sat there, giving no indication that he had heard Akaza.

Akaza gulped. He wasn't sure what was happening. He was sure that Douma would leave the corner the second that he was given permission, like many of the other littles that Akaza had looked after before, but then again, they also immediately apologized after the first five minutes when Akaza asked them to.

"Douma?" Akaza asked, coming to crouch behind him. Douma still did not reply. "You can come out now." Akaza repeated, taking hold of Douma's shoulder to turn him around.

Douma forcefully shrugged Akaza's hand off, pressing himself further into the corner. This annoyed Akaza, and he lost any concern he had previously had. "Fine, then. Stay in the corner if you want to so much." He snapped at Douma, missing how Douma flinched hard as Akaza had already turned away to walk out of the room and away from Douma once again.

Once Akaza had left, Douma began shaking. He glared at the wall he was facing. "Fuck Akaza." Douma muttered under his breath, over and over. Douma eventually stopped, slumping forward, forehead pressed against the wall.

Douma took a shaking breath in, trying not to let the tears that had been gathering in his eyes fall. His bottom lip wobbled as he felt the tears creating streaks down his face as he heard the door open once again, recognizing Akaza's footsteps entering the room.

This time, Akaza noticed as Douma stiffened up when he heard Akaza come back, and Akaza felt guilty. It was his fault that Douma was now wary of him.

If he had only noticed that Douma was regressed when he had first approached him, this could have all been avoided and Douma could have had a nice time in headspace instead of this, and now he didn't even know how Douma would react if he got closer to him, so instead Akaza went over to the couch that was in the room, taking a seat.

He wasn't going to approach Douma or say anything to him as he had decided to let Douma decide when he was ready to come out, but Akaza also didn't think it was a good idea to just leave Douma in the room alone any more.

Some time passed, and Douma suddenly curled into himself, starting to wail. Startled, Akaza sat bolt upright, wide eyes fixing on Douma. Akaza was quick to act after that. He couldn't just sit there and let this happen, so he got up off the couch and moved over to Douma, crouching down so that he was kind of next to Douma but not quite as Douma pushed himself further into the corner.

Hesitantly, he placed a hand on Douma's back, starting to run it up and down in an attempt to calm Douma. Surprisingly, Douma leaned into the touch, and a while later, with the repetitive soothing motion from Akaza, Douma eventually started to calm down, though he was still shaking slightly.

"Are you okay?" Akaza asked, his voice giving away his concern. "No." Douma said, turning around to face Akaza whilst wiping away his tears. "That's okay." Akaza assured. "M sorry. Was shitty." Douma apologized. "No, you did nothing wrong. I was mean for no reason, I should be the one apologizing." Akaza told Douma, ignoring the swearing.

Douma cocked his head to the side, looking at Akaza in confusion. "Why?" He asked, voice quiet. "Because," Akaza started, "you were upset because of something I had done, and I just made it worse." Akaza explained. "Mhm. Kaza was meanie." Douma agreed. Yeah, I'm sorry." Akaza apologized again. "I don't forgive you, but I can forget for now." Douma said, smiling.

Akaza just stood there for a few seconds before nodding in understanding. "Okay, that's fine. What can I do to make it up to you right now?" Akaza questioned. "Hmm..." Douma thought, tapping his chin with a finger. "Cuddles!" He decided, holding the finger up in the air.

"Okay." Akaza agreed. He led Douma over to the couch, pulling Douma into his arms as they lay down, beginning the cuddle session. "Kaza?" Douma called. "Yes?" Akaza answered. "Don't be shitty again." Douma told him. "I won't." Akaza promised, deciding that it was okay to let Douma swear, as long as he didn't overdo it, and it didn't hurt anyone.

This is the longest thing I have written so far, and it is incredibly self-indulgent. I projected onto Douma the whole time. I wrote this because I think people should become more aware that some littles do swear whilst regressed, and also for people to realize that for some littles, when they are punished, they won't immediately forgive you, and they can be mad with you and hold a grudge.
