age regressing.

a coping mechanism and also a defense mechanism your brain uses in order to attempt to defend itself, it does this by regressing to a younger mindset, where everything feels easier and simpler and you don’t have to worry about big adult things.

you didn’t want to regress usually, but you sought comfort in it, it helped you.

you didn’t like telling people about it, nor enjoy it. it was embarrassing. you had to use pacifiers and blankets, it was… you dint like talking about it to put it shortly.

you confessed to one of the people you trusted most, leo. he had always kind of been there for you, and he didn’t quite understand, but he understood enough to try to help you when you were regressed.

you were currently regressed, and leo was trying to help you. he didn’t really know what to do at the moment.

“do you want, uhh, a blanket?” leo asked, petting ur hair down gently. he hoped he wasn’t doing anything wrong.
