Brother

This is literal age regression. Like Mikey literally turns into a five year old.

Frank is worried for Mikey, he's been acting awfully skittish lately. Then when he goes to help, Mikey is gone and in his place a small frightened child who only seems to trust Gerard. Who is this child and how'd he get on their bus?

"Gerard was swaying lightly, rocking the whimpering child and holding him close to his chest, one arm holding him up and the other caressing through his hair and rubbing the back of his neck. He was paying Frank and Ray no mind as he focused on calming the frightened boy, cooing and murmuring sweet things to him, he looked a little sad and much softer than they'd ever seen him before. They watched as he closed his eyes and held him closer, lulling him closer to sleep."

THIS IS REALLY REALLY CUTE, PLEASE GIVE IT A CHANCE? <3
