(Mental Health is very important to me. Age regression is often demonized, pushed to the side, and not properly acknowledged and a lot of mental health communities. I'm making this one shot to help educate a few people if they're interested in learning about this topic. Age regression isn't a sexual thing and should not be treated as one. It's a coping mechanism that is used by people who have gone through trauma, usually in early childhood.)
Age regressor = Yellow guy
Caregiver = Warren the eagle
Red and Duck had some errands to do for the day. Yellow wanted to stay home where he knew he was safe but was a little nervous because, without Red and Duck, there wouldn't be a caretaker if he slipped into little space. Red and Duck were able to think ahead and looked around for a temporary caretaker to be there for Yellow. That's when they found Warren. Yellow never told the others about what happened to him with Warren. So Red and Duck believed Warren when he told them that he and Yellow were friends.
They told Warren about Yellow's regression and that they needed a caretaker. They asked Warren if he could do it and he happily agreed, eager to rekindle his bond with Yellow. Warren didn't fully understand what it meant to be a caretaker but he did his best based on the knowledge Red and Duck gave him, he even went to the store and bought supplies for Yellow to make sure things went extra well.
"All right yellow we're heading out on our errands." Said Red
"B-but What about the?" Yellow stuttered
"Caretaker, don't worry we already got you one, he's on his way right now," Duck answered.
Just then there was a knock on the door. Red opened the door and then came Warren holding a bag of items filled with what a young child would need. He had a big smile and was looking directly at yellow.
"You got Warren the eagle to be my caretaker!" Yellow shouted angrily at Red.
"It's okay buddy, he's only here for a temporary amount of time," Red responded reassuringly, bending down to Pat Yellow's head.
"We should be heading out now, I need to pick up my dress from the dry cleaners," Duck said trying to hurry up Red to get him out the door.
"Don't worry I'll be able to take care of your little Yellow while you're gone." Warren said waving them off goodbye.
Yellow panicked. He couldn't be left with Warren, who knows what will happen. The last time Yellow let Warren stay in one of his safe places, it got destroyed and he felt abandoned and scared. He didn't know how Warren was going to handle him if he fully regressed. Yellow thought that he could give Warren a bit of a slow burn to see how he reacted to make sure it was safe for him to slip.
"So buddy, or should I say a little buddy?" Warren chuckled. "What do you want to do first?"
"We could go to my room. I have some cars to play with." Yellow pointed to the trio's bedroom.
"I guess we can do that. Do you need me to carry you?" Warren opened his arms and moved closer to Yellow.
Yellow immediately backed away. "No. I don't need that, I can still walk."
In the bedroom, Yellow poured out a bin filled with toy cars. He even had a rug with roads and houses on it. Yellow looked up at Warren who was watching him like a hawk waiting to strike. Despite how uncomfortable it made Yellow feel, he pushed through and picked up a blue car. Putting the car on the rug he immediately felt his mind at ease. He wasn't thinking about Warren or the world, instead, he was thinking about where all of the twisty roads went and where the car would go.
