Rantaro remembered thoroughly the exact day Shuichi had told him that he age regressed like it was yesterday (it was). They had been on a meetup at a cafe, eating lunch together when suddenly the detective had confessed that he regressed and, of course, Rantaro was 100% okay with it! He had heard of it before as a healthy coping mechanism, and he was overall fine with it.

(flashback)

"Are you sure you're okay with it?..." He recalled Shuichi saying, gaze not lifting from his food as he nervously fidgeted.

"Of course i'm fine with it Shuichi. Don't worry!" Rantaro had replied, "But... why are you telling me this now of all times?"

Shuichi looked at the latter, "Well... I was wondering if you could take care of me whilst i'm regressed tomorrow, since I have no one to take care of me then."

Ohh, so that's what it was. Rantaro smiled at the other, "Ohh, why didn't you just say that? Of course i'll take care of you! Anything for a friend!"

"Huh, really? You accepted that easily?"

"Shuichi. You've forgotten my experience with kids. I've taken care of many of the sisters at the same time I might as well call it my profession at this point!"

Shuichi, now at ease, chuckled at the response, "Haha, yeah you're right. I'll text you the time you can come over, thanks a lot Rantaro."

"No problem Shuichi."

(present time)

So how did Rantaro find himself trying to get the attention of a baby lying on the floor?

--

"Shuichiiii come onnn, do you want some snacks?" Rantaro pestered, shaking a toy rattle to attempt to get the attention of the little.

Shuichi's gaze lifted for a second, mouth wide open with drool spilling from it gaping at the rattle. Only to flop back onto the ground, beginning to roll.

...Huh? What was happening?

Well, whatever Shuichi was doing, it was endearing. So, taking a seat on the ground, Rantaro sat, silently watching his friend roll across the living room floor.

Wait. He was drooling, shouldn't he be trying to wipe that off?

Sighing as he stood up, Rantaro grabbed a nearby tissue box and made his way to the now stationary detective. 

"Heyyy, Shuichii?" He softly spoke, smiling as he heard soft snoring coming from the little. "Tired, huh? Let's get you up to your bed then rightt after I wipe some drool off."

Rantaro took a tissue from the box he had grabbed, and wiped off all the current drool off of Shuichi's face. And - just for safety measures - popped a pacifier in his mouth in case any other cases of drooling occured during his slumber.

Grabbing Shuichi's legs up to form a bridal carry, the avocado haired boy took his friend to his bed, making sure that he was fully tucked in.

His face softened as he saw the detective begin to relax in the warmth of the bed, sucking his pacifier peacefully as he dozed off.

"Night, Shuichi." Rantaro said, picking up a children's book he had taken earlier on to read to Shuichi as he slept. They should really do this more often.
