Officially, Littles are supposed to regress at least once a week, although Chuuya lets you get away with longer breaks between drops. He knows full well that trying to force you into little space is a recipe for a tantrum. Regressing is supposed to be relaxing! Making you do it would defeat the point.

That said— your regressions have become relaxing for him, too.

Mafia life is busy. Sure, Chuuya's schedule is flexible, but only to a degree; even as an Executive, when he's sent overseas for work, there's no talking his way out of it. But that old adage is true— absence makes the heart grow fonder.

He sighs in relief as he closes the door behind him. He's been thinking about this all day. Getting to finally hold you again— curling up on the couch to watch cartoons— watching you debate between sippy cups and stuffed animals— it's all so routine. Especially after a rough work week, he craves the adorable domesticity that comes with taking care of you. "Baby? You home?"
