summary: Roman has spent nights working for Thomas, barely managing to meet the self-set deadlines. His boyfriend knows he's stressed, and is catching onto the little habits Roman is unintentionally showing. Virgil finds out why Roman was trying so hard to avoid regressing around him.

--

Roman had told Virgil about his littlespace less than a month ago. Yet, they've barely spoken about it since, and Roman avoided regressing at all costs. Virgil was a little too, so he made sure to show his absolute support. Especially since Roman took care of him when he regressed, all Virgil wanted to do was return the favor. 

Roman had been working non-stop almost the whole week, brainstorming things for Thomas, making sure the final product was every type of perfect. He had to have been stressed. "Babe," Virgil whined from his spot on Roman's bed, "I think Thomas is happy with those ideas. And I'm sure they'll turn out great..tomorrow."

Roman looked over at Virgil from his desk, gasping. "It's the middle of the day, there's more work to be done and I want to finish it while I have the time."

"Baby," Virgil moved to get up, walking over to his desk and rubbing his shoulders lightly. "You've been working so much, I know for a fact that you didn't get to bed until late last night, and that you woke up early this morning. No beauty sleep isn't good for my prince," he lightly kissed the side of his head. 

"Okay fine, I'll take a break," Roman dropped his red glitter pen, leaning into Virgil's touch a bit. "What do I do now?" he questioned. 

"How about we watch some disney?" Roman's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he shied down. He knew that he was already beginning to regress, from the bubbling feeling in his chest, and it wasn't happening slowly either. He was crashing into the deeper part of his headspace without any hesitation, and he already knew that the chances of slowing it down were slim. Giving in, and letting Virgil's natural caregiver-y instincts push him in wouldn't help.

"What's wrong, Roman?" Virgil took over a softer voice,turning the white spinny chair and leaning down so that he was crouching in front of the boy. Roman didn't respond, biting at his lip.

"Disney make me feel little...don't wanna be little," he mumbled truthfully, bringing his thumb to his mouth and chewing on his nail. Virgil didn't bother to scold him in the moment.

"Why's that, buddy?" Virgil ran his fingers through Roman's hair lightly.

"m' a prince..n' princes don't act lil," Roman tried to hide his face, but Virgil took his hands and moved them away. Virgil now understood why Roman always avoided regressing. He was shy about his littlespace, he didn't want people to take him any less seriously.

"Now, little one, you don't have to hide from me," he still spoke softly, but with a slightly stern undertone. Roman nodded lightly, still slowly bringing his thumb back to his mouth. He was crashing into babyspace, and he couldn't do anything to stop it. He whined with a pout when Virgil pulled it away again. 

"And what's this nonsense about princes not acting little?"

Roman tilted his head, and Virgil continued speaking. "Because I know a very, very handsome prince. Cutest in all the land," Virgil booped Roman's nose, causing him to giggle. "He has the prettiest voice, and the bestest of friends. But sometimes, when things get stressful, or he just wants to be small, he acts little. And that's okay."

Roman seemed to be much happier after that little story, smiling and blushing. "Da princey me! M' da cutest and I has da prettiest voice n' bestest friends," he bounced hyperly in place, and Virgil smiled at the preciousness. 

"Absolutely, my little prince," Virgil stood up fully, kissing his forehead. "How little are you, Ro?"

Roman only mumbled, "tiny."

"Let's get you in a onesie and pullup, then we'll get you some milk, and we'll watch that promised disney movie. How does that sound?"

Roman nodded, bringing his thumb back to his mouth. "No, baby," Virgil spoke sternly, causing the boy to pout while he summoned a red pacifier.

Virgil quickly found Roman's little gear. He put him in a white onesie, and a diaper (which Roman was VERY embarrassed and shy about). "I'm gonna go get you some milk, hmm?"

Roman sat on his bed, holding a stuffed bunny, a white fuzzy blanket wrapped around him. He made grabby hands towards Virgil, whining a bit so he didn't leave the room without him. Virgil sighed, but smiled lightly. He picked a white bottle out of Roman's little stuff, moving to pick up his baby. 

Logan and Patton have never seen Roman little, but they did know about Virgil. So when Logan gave Virgil a confused glance,it was quickly replaced with a moment of realization before Patton started his cooing. "I was gonna get him milk but this is even better. You know that warm cinnamon milk you make for me when I regress?" Virgil handed Patton the bottle.

"Already on it," Patton agreed. "He's so precious..a cute lil prince," he went back to causing Roman to bury his head in Virgil's shoulder. He was clearly blushing.

"Stop, not cute. scawy,"

"mhm, most surely the scariest prince I've ever seen," Virgil humored the babies antics while Patton got the milk heated. It was only a minutes or two before he was shaking the bottle, and handing it over to Virgil.

"Say bye-bye to Patton and Logan!" Virgil said in a parent-like tone, laced with enough enthusiasm to get Roman to adorably wave. "Are words to much right now, little one?" Virgil questions, taking him back to his room. Roman shyly nods.

Virgil sets Roman on his bed, giving him his bottle. He was prepared to summon his laptop to start a movie when Roman tugged on his hoodie. "M' sleepy..nap n cuddles p'eas?"

Virgil's heart melted right then and there.
