~~

Virgil had just recently been outed as an age regressor to his fellow headspace friends. He had explained that it was the only healthy thing that helped ease his anxiety, relaxing into the mindset of a toddler and not having to care about the real world for a while. Of course the other sides had immediately accepted him, telling him that if he needed it they would take on the role of a caregiver for him. Virgil was ecstatic, although he looked far calmer on the outside.

Virgil had decided today to go to Hot Topic. He didn't want to go alone, being the anxious side, so he went to Pattons door and knocked. 

"Uh- P-patton?" Virgil spoke quietly. "C-can you take me to the mall?"

Patton opened the door with his bright smile as usual. 

"Of course kiddo! let's go!" Patton walked past Virgil, marching through the hall to the kitchen and grabbing his keys.

The two were in the car on their way to the mall, Virgil trying to ignore his shakey hands and the small urge to get his paci to calm himself. He kept it in his hoodie pocket, but they were going in public and he cant use it. The two arrived at the mall, walking in and Virgil walking to Hot Topic as if it was second nature. The two  found the Hot Topic, Virgil immediately noticing the amount of alternative kids all shopping for merch and memorabilia. His heart rate quickened a little bit, hands producing a bit of sweat.

Patton took the dark clads hand and the two carefully walked into the Hot Topic. As the two walked through the store, past the many many people, Virgil became increasingly more panicked and anxious. His body could only take so much before he was forced into regression, and as the two made their way to the back of the store by the T-shirts, Virgil tugged on Pattons hand.

Tears sprung in the boys eyes. "D-daddy-" The little sobbed, Pattons smile quickly turning into one of concern, pulling the little into his arms and they softly sunk to the ground so they were sitting, Virgil in Pattons lap.

Patton sat rubbing the crying littles back, comforting him from the overwhelming anxiety rushing through his head. An employee walked up to the two, he wore black skinnies and T-shirt with yellow piercings and a yellow studded belt. By the looks of it he had one green snake eye contact in. 

"Uhm, excuse me? Would you two like to use the back room for a bit? I-I have a little at home, i know how it feels." The boy, who's name tag now read Janus as he was closer, smiled softly and pointed farther back to the 'staff only' door.

Patton smiled a little bit, kissing Virgils temple as the boy burrowed his face in the dad sides shoulder. 

"Yes please, that would be nice, thank you" Patton got up, hoisting the purple and black clad little into his arms. The two followed Janus as he opened the door for the two, sitting next to them on the couches. Patton reached into Virgils pocket and took out his paci, a black one with purple bats on it, and put it in front of Virgils face. The little took it into his mouth, visibly relaxing a little bit as he chewed and sucked on the pacifier. Janus smiled, thinking about his little Remus at home.

~~ The end! i hope you enjoy!
