☁TWENTY ONE☁

Over time Minjae had become a lot more comfortable regressing, Huijun pretty much became his official caregiver, and although he still hadn't regressed around anyone other than Huijun and although Junhyuk was itching to make friends with little Minnnie everyone was happy to see that he was comfortable.

Seungmin however was in a weird position, He was always happy to help take care of Junhyuk if the eldest needed some help or if Junhyuk needed a playmate and he was excited to meet little Minjae whenever he was ready but...,

Sometimes when he was watching cartoons with Junhyuk or playing with playdough with him he got.. almost.. too absorbed,

It happened rarely maybe twice a month but he was pretty sure he knew what was happening, It wasn't too hard to guess after Minjae and Junhyuk had told them about their experiences,

So he decided to go to the person he trusted most in this situation.

~~~~~

"You want to try regressing?"

Seungmin looked down and fiddled with the hem of his pyjama shorts and nodded slowly,

"Now or ?"

"Whenever you have time I guess..."

"Well we have the afternoon off but... what's with the sudden..?"

Seungmin sighed and looked up into the pretty eyes of the other pondering whether Minjae was finding his request to be talked down strange,

"I just sort of get a feeling... sometimes..."

Minjae walked over from his hangers where he had been arranging clothes and sat next to Seungmin, the bed sinking a little from the weight, he smiled at Seungmin reassuringly and then said "Wait here," leaping from the bed as fast as he had sat down and leaving the room,

He re-entered a few moments later but this time with Seongjun at his side 

"I heard you want to try regressing.." both Seongjun and Minjae joined him on the bed sitting either side of him which made him feel slightly uncomfortable, he shyly nodded at Seongjun just as he had Minjae and the other's face broke out into a wide grin

"That's great!"

"It is..."

Seongjun nodded placing a gentle arm on his shoulder

"of course it is! you have a higher stress tolerance than most of us but I see you getting stressed out sometimes so I think this would be really good for you."

Seungmin felt a warm feeling grow in his heart and he snuggled into Seonjun's side in thanking gesture, before he knew what was happening he was raising his arms and a soft blue sweater was pulled over his head, 

he instantly began panicking, he kicked out one leg in the general direction of Minjae and shuffled up into the back of the bed breathing harshly,

"Wait, what if I cant do it, what if I'm just pretending, what if I-"

Seongjun pulled Seungmin into his lap and shushed him patting his back gently, this is exactly why Minjae had brought the leader in with him, he had worried that Seungmin might panic and Seongjun was the best at comforting people when they where panicking,

He knelt down and looked up at Seungmin who was being rocked back and forth in the eldest's lap

"Hey .." soft spoken he began talking once Seungmin had calmed down a bit "I let you in on a secret, everyone has regressive behaviours, just a little bit each day, when they lose there temper and do something a bit childish like taking out there anger on something else or whether the cuddle pillows like stuffed toys to help them sleep"

The gentle tone Minjae was using was slowly getting to Seungmin and he began to be lulled and absorbed in what he was being told,

"It's okay if you can't completely get into headspace, It's your first time, It's okay if you have an older headspace or if you go into babyspace completely, It's okay, It's different for everyone."

Seungmin nodded at the end and slowly Seongjun released him, he slid off his lap and sat quietly on the bed and allowed Minjae and Seongjun to dress him with a red flushed face though he did refuse a paci when it was offered to him, (It was one of the spares they had bought for Minjae and Junhyuk in case they ever lost there's.)

They led Seungmin down to the floor and Minjae brought in a selection of toys, they would have to experiment as they didn't know his age range yet, they stayed in the bedroom and Minjae shut the door as it was clear that Seungmin wasn't quite comfortable yet as he was quite quiet it was also clear that he wasn't completely in headspace, only partially.

Seongjun pulled the boy next to him and put a reassuring arm around him, resting his hand on his waist, first of all Minjae started building blocks and invited Seungmin to join him, Seongjun gave his back a gentle push and he tentatively shuffle forwards, 

Minjae noticed his disinterest in the block and instead he brought a brought a box of lego forwards and spilled them onto the floor, he saw Seungmin's eyes light up a bit and although the boy was a little nervous and awkward at first he was soon absorbed in his lego's busy building a little house.

"Around 7 then?" Seongjun perked up an eyebrow and Minjae nodded in response, 

"I think we should still keep an eye on him even though he's very absorbed, it's his first time so he might struggle to keep his headspace."

Seongjun nodded and carefully crawled over with Minjae the two of them didn't need to do much, just watch, but occasionally Seungmin would request certain blocks or would ask Minjae to detach two that where stuck together to tightly.

Within about half an hour loud giggles filled the room and there were blocks everywhere, Seungmin, they had found was rather a loud little, much like his usual self, 

Minaje had asked him a single question about twenty minutes ago; 'What are you building Seungie?' and the boy had been speaking for all of that time describing his little house and all of the little people inside, occasionally pausing to shout "Hyung! Hyung the red block!"

He wasn't exactly quiet so it wasn't surprising when Huijun and Junhyuk poked their heads round the door wondering what all the noise was and stopped on the spot when they saw Seungmin lying on his front, legs swinging in the air and playing with legos, 

He looked up and noticed them and for a moment Seungjun and Minjae held there breath but Seungmin just got up of the floor and gave the two hugs

"Hello Jun-Hyung, Hello Huijun-Hyung" The two smiled and said hello back 

'Is he...?' Huijun mouthed at Minjae who gave an affirming nod and opened his arms for Seungmin to run back, the two at the door decided to back away and leave Seungmin to it.

Soon after Seungmin got bored of blocks and instead decided to snuggle into Minjae's lap and Seongjun grabbed his laptop, they all moved to the bed and the eldest put on Scooby Doo and somehow Seungmin knew all the lyrics to the theme song.

He fell asleep, however, after only three episodes,

Seongjun left Minjae to look after him and he shifted the elder until he was in a comfortable postion, he brought the blankets up to his chest and put a shark stuffie in his arms to cuddle,

"Sleep well Seungie."

He stared at him adoringly for a couple of minutes before placing a kiss on his forehead and leaving quietly.
