Little: Seungmin

Caregiver: Stray Kids (mainly Hyunjin and Jeongin)

No one's POV.:
After being a closeted little for a few months, Seungmin had decided to tell his group members about his age regression. Though there was a lot of explaining to do, they all took the time to listen and kept an open mind. It was a bit difficult at first because Seungmin always got really shy, when he was in his headspace, so even though he told his friends about it, he continued to regress by himself. The others tried to make him as comfortable as possible and sometimes discreetly took care of him, for example by leaving snacks for him when they knew he was little. Hyunjin made sure they'd always have a bunch of fluffy blankets in their shared room, so the younger could cozy up when nobody was allowed to cuddle him. The first member to witness Seungmin slip was Jeongin. The two were at a studio practicing their vocals, when the older grew frustrated and started to whine. At first, Jeongin didn't think much of it because other than that, his friend was acting normal. Seungmin himself didn't realize it immediately either and just continued pouting at the other. The maknae chuckled as his hyung pouted at him because he wasn't able to sing a line the way he wanted to. As if Jeongin could do anything about that. "Minnie nuh wanna do this anymowe", Seungmin complained, clamping his hands over his mouth in shock when he realized he had slipped in front of someone.

Jeongin was startled at first because he only knew about little Minnie in theory but a small smile soon spread on his face. "Do you want to go home instead, Minnie?", Jeongin tried, pretending this was nothing out of the ordinary. Seungmin only stared at him with wide eyes, that slowly started to water. Gently removing the little's hands from his face, Jeongin cooed: "It's alright, cutie. Don't be scared. Hyung will take you home and you can do whatever you want, okay?" The other sniffled quietly, rubbing his eyes with his fists before nodding. Packing their bags, Jeongin texted their group chat to give the other members a heads up, in case they'd run into anyone at their dorm. Seungmin remained quiet, not having said a single word after his frustrated outburst earlier. "Minnie, please hold onto hyung's hand while we walk home, yeah? Can't have you getting lost", Jeongin hummed, taking the little's hand and turning towards the door. Nodding, Seungmin looked away to hide the blush that had started spread from his cheeks to his ears. This was the first time someone took care of his little self and he couldn't stop his heart from feeling funny, not in a negative way though.

They made it home and after taking off his shoes, Seungmin ran straight to his room. Jeongin taking care of him had been nice but he couldn't push his shyness away anymore. The little hid under his blanket, not noticing there was one other person in the room. After spraining his ankle, Hyunjin had been banned from dancing for some time and had just been reading in their room when his dongsaeng burst in and lunged at his bed. The dancer had read Jeongin's text and chuckled quietly, wondering if this was still little Minnie. It had to be because he couldn't explain why Seungmin would run and curl up under his blanket. Still smiling to himself, Hyunjin got off of his bed and hobbled over to his dongsaeng's. He sat down on the edge of the mattress, grinning: "Hi Minnie."

The little felt his heart stop, not expecting anyone to be there. Shaking anxiously, he pulled the blanket tighter around himself. Hyunjin frowned and carefully ran his hand down the boy's back through the blanket. "It's okay, pup", the dancer whispered, "Can you come out and look at hyung?" It took a moment but Seungmin's grip on the fabric loosened before there was some shuffling. "I stuck", the little cried out panicked, unable to find the end of the blanket. Carefully untangling the younger's limbs from his blanket, Hyunjin laughed: "There we go, cutie." Seungmin's hair was sticking into every direction from having the blanket over his head, so the older gently smoothed it down while little Minnie pouted at him. "Now, what had you so scared that you had to hide", the dancer asked. The boy blushed and buried his face in the blanket, so his hyung wouldn't see. He only looked up when a knock at the door caught his attention. The door opened and in peeked Jeongin, frowning: "Why did you run off like that, bubs?" Seungmin only blushed more and hid his face again, leaving the two other members to coo at him. "Minnie, can you tell your hyungs where you keep your little gear? You've been singing quite a while, so I want to get you some juice. We can't have you getting dehydrated, so do you have a sippy cup?", the maknae smiled. Not removing the blanket from his face, the little nodded and pointed at his closet. Walking over there, Jeongin found a cardboard box and placed it onto the nightstand. He retrieved the purple sippy cup and left for the kitchen to get the boy his juice, while Hyunjin went through the box.
