Virgil/Anxiety's POV
I'm not going to lie, since I took care of Roman a few weeks ago, I've been more interested in age regression. I just don't quite understand how someone could get into that headspace easily, but I also understood why it would help people.
Roman had his age regression as a part of his personality, he is the side with imagination and love for disney, two childish traits. It just came naturally, because he held the more child-like part of Thomas. But for me, I don't know, I'm dark and the side that makes Thomas nervous and scared.
But once I looked it up on tumblr, I knew that this 'littlespace' thing helped with anxiety...which might maintain the panic attacks and such. I mean, I'm the reason Thomas panics and worries uselessly, and that's only because I panic and worry for no reason.
I also saw how age regressors like things like coloring and stuffed animals, which I've always had a secret love for. The only thing stopping me from using this coping skill, and telling the others, was the fact that I'm the dark one.
The one who isn't soft, and thought I'm a core side now, I was a dark side.
This, if done in front of the others, would require me to break down my wall on meanness quicker. I found myself conjuring a coloring book after scrolling through a tumblr blog one day, coloring in a black kitten messily. I giggled and clapped my hands childishly, and finished the page. It was fun, and I felt lighthearted. I didn't realize this until later, but that was me regressing, even if it was different than Roman's.
"Virgil! Virgil!" Roman jumped up from the couch when he saw me, trying to run around the coffee table to me, but knocking down his sippy cup in the process. "Oops! I sorry Patton!" he picked up the cup and handed it to him.
The moral trait laughed and motioned for him to come to me, taking the cup and setting it farther back on the table.
"Hi, Princey!" I greeted him with a chuckle and a hug.
"Come look what I made!" he excitedly pulled me to the couch, showing me the puppy he colored on his tablet.
"Aww! It's so cute, Ro!"I complimented his adorable attempt at coloring a puppy with the correct colors. Except, I've never seen a puppy with purple ears.
"What do you say, Roman?" Patton ruffled his hair. I kind of wished I had that, someone to take care of me. And make sure I am being good, and give me all the cuddles I want.
"T'ank you!" Roman giggles again, reaching for his sippy cup. I want juice, and I wanna color!
Usually I can just push this down, but this time it's harder. I feel like a little kid, and this is so new to me, I don't really know how to react. I cross my arms and watch as Patton and Roman interact, biting on my lip. Maybe I should just go back to my room, and color-
"Can yous color with me? You can use my Disney coloring book!" Roman's words interrupted my thoughts.
"That's so nice of you Roman..I think a certain baby boy deserves a cookie..." Patton watched Roman's face fill with excitement. I wish I could act like that openly..but I'm to scared and I'm still figuring this out. I should shut this down, or head back to my room, now.
"What about you, Virge? Do you want anything?"
I don't want to respond, but I am sort of hungry. If I speak, will it be babish? I do my best to keep my voice normal, "Do we have yogurt?"
Patton nods, "Strawberry or vanilla?"
"Strawberry!" I exclaim excitedly, forgetting to hid my babyish tone this time. I avoid looking at either of them, flipping through the coloring book Roman let me borrow. I land on a page with Rapunzel and start coloring, making sure I don't look at either of them.
I don't look up until Patton sets a black bowl in front of me, with purple and yellow stars on it. It's so cute, obviously small and meant for children. I eat with the baby spoon, managing to get yogurt on my nose. Roman kept coloring, only giggling a bit at my messiness. But Patton watched me, and moved to help me wipe the yogurt off.
I don't know why I didn't leave, or why I gave into Patton's obvious antics to try to get me to regress.
"You're so messy, Virge," Patton chuckled, and my immediate response was you pout.
"Sorry!" I say quickly, attempting to wipe off my nose myself, but just getting the yogurt all over my hands. Usually, I'd sigh in annoyance, but I just giggle and scrunch my nose up.
In the back on my mind, I want to stop this behavior, but something else takes over as Patton babies me.
"oh no! Let go get you cleaned up, Anx-" I pulled my hand away from him and cut him off.
"I do it myself!" I don't process my incorrect grammar and I get up, going in the kitchen to wash off my hand.
I hear Patton enter the kitchen a few moments later, while I'm drying my hand off.
"Hey Virgil.." I jumped at his voice, he scared me! I didn't know he was there.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you..I have a few questions for you, if that's okay?"
I nod a little, scared of what he's gonna ask. "Are you a little too, like Roman?"
"m' not a little!" I defend in high voice, pouting slightly.
"Are you sure, Virge?" Patton seemed quite amused with my antics, watching me pout.
I looked down, "I dunno..," I whimpered, "don't think m' weird?"
"Why would we think you're weird, we all accept Roman?"
"Its okay for him...m' dark n scary n mean...I can't act little.." I admit to him, attempting to hide my face in the towel.
"Who said that, Vi?"
I shrugged, blushing when Patton pulled the towel away from my face.
"No one did, you can still be dark and emo, but we don't think you're scary or mean anymore."
"But m' so mean sometimes! I snap at you guys...n' say mean stuff..."
"That's just you, and we've accepted that by now. It's fine, baby,"
I shy my face away at the nickname, smiling. "So are you willing to admit that you have a littlespace, Virge?"
I still shake my head, "m' not little! I don't want dem to know, Patton!" I attempt to whisper, but it's very loud.
"I'm pretty sure Roman already knows, and I'm sure Logan won't care."
I hide my face in my hands, "no,noooo! m' scared," I whimper and pout, looking down again.
Patton lifts my chin moving my hands from my face. "Ro was scared too, Vi. But look at him now, he has all the toys and sippy cups he wants! If you're honest, you can explore it and have fun..."
"No...I be fine without dat stuffs..." I lie, pretending I don't want the stuff Roman has.
"Okay then...I guess you don't want this bat sippy cup..." Patton sighed dramatically, and a new cup appeared in his hands.
"But, but...I do wan it!" I pouted, reaching for the cup, but he pulled it back.
"Mhm, are you gonna admit that you're just a baby?" Patton teased, walking over to the fridge, pulling out the grape juice. No one understood why I like grape juice, but I absolutely love it.
I nod silently, watching Patton fill the cup. "Then here," he screwed the cap on and handed it to me. I drink out of it with a shy smile.
I liked this.
