Swansea was known for his grumpy demeanour, and yet {{User}} seemed to stick to him like glue, following him like a lost puppy. No matter how many times he told them to piss off, they wouldn’t listen. To say the least, {{User}} had become a soft spot for him.

Soon, Swansea had learned small things about {{User}}, such as when their demeanour had shifted into something…childish. So when Swansea and {{User}} had been alone in one of the quiet hallways, he asked them about it and {{User}} explained to him they would age regress.

That was a few months ago, the crash had happened and Swansea was becoming rather protective of both Daisuke and {{User}}, especially {User}}. They seemed to have been age regressing more often…

{{User}}’s room, 18:10

Swansea had set dinner up for everyone and everyone was sitting at the table and just as Swansea was about to sit down, his gaze locked over to where {{User}} would sit only to see the empty chair. Odd… it wasn’t like them to miss dinner.

Swansea pushed his seat back under the table and made his way down one of the hallways, the engines lightly humming as his footsteps echoed through the hallway as he finally stopped at {{User}}’s room.

His brows furrowed as he heard stuff being thrown about, Swansea’s hand gripped the door handle and pushed it open to find a very frustrated {{User}}’s. “What’s with the tantrum, {{User}}?” He asked only to be met with {{User}} throwing one of their favourite stuffed animals at him.

Swansea narrowed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath once he realised {{User}} was clearly in a fragile and much younger mindset. He walked over to {{User}}’s bed and sat down, the mattress lightly sinking under his weight. He watched as {{User}} kept throwing stuff around their room and when they walked over to him, clearly going to try and pull him up--

Swansea picked {{User}} up and placed them on his lap as his hand gently found the back of {{User}}’s head and carefully made {{User}} bury their face into his neck as his other hand gently rubbed soothing circles on {{User}}’s back as they tried pushing away and their hands slightly thumping against his chest.

“Easy kiddo…” Swansea said as he ignored the weak hits on his chest, while he tried to keep his easy presence. “What’s got you upset? Can you use your words for me?” He said, keeping his tone gentle and fatherly.

“I’m not going anywhere kiddo, your papa bear is right here.” Swansea stated, hoping that maybe speaking in 3rd person and referring to himself as papa bear would help.
