Having a coping mechanism like age regresion better known as little space is completely normal, the government even made special braclets or small detailed things to tell whos a little and whos a caregiver. While most people were totally okay with it, there were of course people who didnt like that at all, for example a boy named Bangchan or Chan, he is a 16 year old young kid and is a little, his age is around two or three and he goes by the name Channie.

It was fine, really. If there weren't his parents who started to not just verbally abuse him but also physically. Chan was scared of other people, he flinched when someone was touching him, he had night terrors that most of the time kept him awake, his parents soon fed up with his childish behavior and the continuing interruption at night decided to put him in those little facilities where others could adopt him, everything just to get rid of their own flesh and blood.

Well, Chan now a 20 year old young man stuck in that facility was beyond terrified of all the people, he was crying a lot just because he was simply scared even after those four years he was there already, he was always on his own sitting simply in a darker corner of the play room the facility had while watching the other littles play with each other. 

He was stuck in his headspace, the workers, really nice and gentle people figured that he probably was around two or three, they werent sure tho because Channie sadly wasnt talking, he just quietly sucked on the pacifier they gave him to soothe the panic he had during the nights. They tried everything to make the little boy trust at least one of them, but to no luck, for some unknown reason to the facility workers, was he so scared and anxious as soon as he noticed someone came closer, hes prone to crawl away and hide, so changing him or just his diaper was also quite an act, but it had to be done, because they didnt wanted him to get a rash.

Today, a day they call 'adopting a little' was pure torture for him, so many people came and left, luckily none of those big people saw him though which soothed him just a little. On the other hand, a group of six caregivers and one little walked into the room, the young man sat down on the floor to not scare the littles while their little boy bounced around, happy and hopeful to find a friend. The little boy going by the name Lino seemed to be quite on the older ages. And he was the first one to notice Channie in his little hiding spot. Both littles made eye contact but Channie instantly was alarmed and crawled further away.

Lino got curious about that cute little boy, so he slowly walked over to where the boy was hiding, seeing the fearful expression on his face, he kept his distance just like his daddies taught him. "Hello.." He said softly, still looking at the smaller boy in front of him. "Is you okay?" Lino asked curiously, titling his head gently, but still, the little one didnt gave him an answer. "You don go away, okay? I go get daddy." He exclaimed and walked away back to his caregivers, grabbing the first ones hand and dragged him after him, it was a guy named Felix, one of his lovely daddies.

"Daddy come please? I founding a baby." He said, waiting impatiently for Felix to get up. Felix confused, just rolled with it and followed his baby to where he was bringing him and soon he saw indeed a little boy in the shadows of the darkness of the room. His gaze softened when he saw how scared the little one looked. "Oh my.. hello there sweetie." He spoke, but just like with Lino he got no respones, but soon Channie cried out in fear, alarming the workers, but Felix being the gentle soul he was patiently sat down on the floor and looked at the boy.

One of the female workers walked over, her gaze worried as she heard Channies cries. "Hello sir, hi there little one. I see you found our youngest little already. His name is Channie. We sadly down know how old he exactly is, because the poor thing doesnt speak a word in all those four years. We think hes about two or three. Little one is stuck in his headspace ever since. We figured out though that he seemed scared of other people even us worker, changing his diaper or him into his jammies is.. a lot of work by how scared he is. So you two did nothing wrong that he started crying." 

She explained crouching down to get a look at Channie. "Can you look at me Channie?" She asked softly, wanting to put the boy at ease. Channie looked at her through teary eyes. "Its okay sweet boy, they dont do anything to you okay? you dont need to cry love.. everything is okay." She said, Channie on the other hand didnt stopped crying, so Lino not understanding the situation completely carefully crawled closer, he sat down next to the crying boy and as gently as he could hugged him. 

Channie of course grew more anxious and managed to break free from the other littles hug crawling further away before getting picked up by another worker and carried out of the room where they made sure to calm him down before bringing him back into the room. Lino absolutely heartbroken about the boys reaction started to cry too, Felix picked him up to soothe him, to make sure he understood that he did nothing wrong and that the baby boy was simply scared of others.

They walked back to the other caregivers were lino played with the other littles until about two hours later Channie got brought back in, all changed and with a stuffie clutched in his hand. The male worker put him carefully back down on the floor, ruffling his hair and stepped to the side. Channie now in the open for everyone to see, looked around anxiously, before he spotted Lino again who also spotted him. And even tho he freaked out from the hug, the workers watched in amazement as he slowly crawled over to Lino. 

"Look at him go... seems like that hug wasnt as bad as his mind told him it is..." The female worker said softly to her colleague, the man simply nodded with a smile. Meanwhile between the both boys, Lino sat down on the floor patiently waiting for Channie to come closer. And this was the first interaction Channie did with another little.

His soft eyes studied Lino curiously as he carefully crawled closer, before stopping a little away from him,  looking again before he crawled all the way next to the older little. Lino overly happy Channie came back and even crawled up to him, kept his excitement at bay to not scare him away again. "Hello Channie.. I name is Lino." He announced, watching every little reaction on the cute face of the boy next to him. 

Suddenly a small and soft voice spoke up too, making the whole facility team stunned. "...hewwo.." Channie spoke behind his pacifier, Linos face softened even more when he heard the small voice of the baby next to him he found so cute.
