Little Prince

Chapter One

Themes of Non Sexual Age Regression

His socked feet padding along the soft carpet, and straightening his bed sheets, Shouto was reasonably nervous for his expected guest. This was the first time him and his boyfriend Izuku would be hanging out alone as partners, and the very first time he'll be inviting someone to his house. Izuku finally popped the question over a sparring match that left Izuku smiling and breathless on the ground and Todoroki flushed red above the handsome boy, eyes wide. Shouto's heart still fluttered at the thought of it. Completed with his tidying, he heard the doorbell chime. Shouto jumped and sped towards the door.

"Is that him?" His sister asked, resting her morning reading in her lap. "I hope so-!" Shouto struggled to hide his excitement in his voice. His sweaty palms swung the door knob open to reveal exactly what he wanted to see; Izuku's bright freckled face.

After greeting Izuku and giving shy introductions of his family, Shouto finally began to usher his friend into the privacy of his room, and away from the possibility of embarrassing childhood stories being told in front of his guest.

"Wow, Todoroki-kun, your house is so nice!" Izuku beamed as Shouto led him down the hall.

"Thank you Midoriya, but there's something I have to tell you about my room." Shouto stopped in front of his door, gripping his arm nervously. "It's just it... May not be what you expect. I hope you don't laugh, or anything..."

"Ah, I would never laugh, Todoroki-kun! I'm sure your room is fine, there's no need to be nervous." Izuku giggled, and Shouto opened the door.

As Izuku eyed the room around him, he had to admit, it wasn't exactly as he imagined. The first thing he noticed was the checkered pink and blue bed set and matching pastel carpet and drapes.

Across from the bed was a small tv with an old game system underneath, the wires and controllers tucked away neatly. His walls were decorated with a few posters, one of All Might, of course. But to Izuku's surprise, there was also a sailor moon poster and even a sanrio poster. The happy faces of Hello Kitty and Kerropi shone from above Shouto's desk.

"Wow Todoroki-kun, you're right! I definitley wasn't expecting this." He smiled as he took in more of the room. He couldn't help from pointing out one thing in particular he noticed.

"Ah, what are these for? Do you babysit a smaller relative?" Izuku said, gesturing to a shelf with a few plastic dinosaurs and bright toy cars, placed a long side a fluffy white teddy bear and a framed picture of him and his sister. Looking over, Izuku noticed Shouto fiddling with his fingers and he glanced over to the shelf.

"No, those are mine." He tucked his hair behind his ear, "I... like playing with them, occasionally..."

Eh?! Shouto ?! Toys?!?!

"I understand it's odd for someone my age but, I just never let them go. Well, more like I missed out on having childish toys. As a kid, I rarely got to do kid things, so I guess I do them at times now. I hope it doesn't weird you out too much."

Shouto screamed internally. He was hoping to explain to Izuku that he was a little, and would adore Izuku to be there for him and accept his regression.

"Ah, no, not at all!" Izuku said, putting his hands out frantically. "I didn't mean to sound judgmental, if anything its pretty cute!"

"You really think it's cute..?" Shouto said, placing a hand to his face, a faint blush on his cheeks.

"Of course!"

Shouto cracked a small smile, and sat the two of them at the end of his bed. He played with his fingers nervously, waiting for Izuku to speak.

"Ah, why don't you play, huh? Would that be fun for you, Todoroki-kun?"

Shouto jumped with excitement- he couldn't believe his ears! Izuku is really being supportive right now..!

Shouto nodded, and walked over to his shelf and handed Izuku the white bear, then grabbed the plastic dinosaurs to play with. Izuku was equally as caring as Shouto was passionate about the little dinosaurs.

"... This one is a brontosaurus..." Shouto murmured, very shy and nervous. I really hope I'm not weirding him out but... this is a part of who I am, so I hope he accepts it...

"Ohh, a brontosaurus! I wonder what those ones eat?" Izuku smiled and nodded at the toys, encouraging his adorable boyfriend to speak up.

"Mm, they like to eat leaves!" Shouto blushed.
"You're right!" Izuku exclaimed. "Very good job Shouto-chan! And what's your bears name, love?"

Shouto's heart was soaring, he couldn't believe how supportive his boyfriend was being of his strange hobby. He told him the bear's name, Snowflake, then Izuku invited Shouto to sit on the bed with him, and even bring the dinos too!

As the time passed, and Shouto slipped out of his regression, the two boys chatted and hung out, and later played video games. They played together until Fuyumi Todoroki eventually called them down for lunch.
