you and enid have been dating for the past year at nevermore,

you guys met, well, because you both are roomates.

theres one thing you've learned about your girlfriend over the months.

enid has age regression.

you didn't know what that meant until yoko told you a month after you and enid started dating, which she said: "age regression is basically when someones behavior, thoughts, and emotions revert to a younger age."

you've asked yoko how she figured it out and her response was: "well, enid and i have been friends ever since she started at nevermore. she has a bed full of plushies, pacifers laying on her desk, and all that stuff. she even talks like a literal child. and.. she has a lot of family trauma. due to her mother."

which shes right.

as enids girlfriend and roommate, you noticed that her room has only colorful stuff. colorful blankets, colorful plushies, colorful anything.

after class, enid left before you. and once you got to the dorm, you could see her at her desk, swaying her feet back and forth as she colored a drawing with some crayons. her pink pacifer in her mouth.

she perks up at the door opening, turning around as her eyes widen with excitement.

"cuddle bear..? is that you..?" she murmured. enid always called you childish nicknames, and you adored them. but would never admit it.
