The duo are back at their newly shared home. They’ve just returned from a mission. Nikolai is resting his head on Fyodor’s shoulder. He’s just recently found out about Nikolai’s regression and still doesn’t know much about it. He’s not a little or a caregiver either. He’s been planning on doing the research, but hasn’t.

“Nikolai? Would you…”

“…like me to be your caregiver?” He looks at Nikolai with content and a sliver of pity, unaware how the boy would react.
