Kimi had always privileged himself on being the most emotionless driver on the grid. His stunning composure even during difficult moments was admirable
But even the “Iceman” Kimi Räikkönen had his secrets
He was an age Regressor.
Its how he was able to stay calm, but just one person finding out about that little thing could ruin him.
Sebastian, his teammate, had gotten way to…
Close… for his liking
It started in Australia. When Seb walking in on Kimi playing around with a tamagotchi he got gifted by a fan
“Hey, Kimi. Whatcha got there?”
Seb sat down next to Kimi, who was secretly jumping out of his skin
“A fan gave me this… pet. A ‘Tamagotchi’ I saw it was called”
Sebastian smiled as he pressed on one of the buttons, feeding the little animal on the screen
“Yeah. It’s a pet you look after.”
Kimi was a bit fascinated, but shrugged and put in on his backpack
The second time was during Monaco, when Kimi was laying down on a couch in hospitality, half falling asleep because he needed a Nap
Seb was curiously eyeing Kimi as His eyes slowly drifted shut and then sprung back open again. Seb couldn't place why he felt… paternal for his teammate. But he supposed it was just seeing his teammate so clearly fighting sleep like that of a toddler
“Kimi?”
Kimi’s eyes sprung open again, rubbing his eyes and looking up at Seb
“Yeah? What is it?”
He asked as Seb chuckled and pushed him back down on the bed
“You can sleep if you want to”
Seb softly spoke as he saw Kimi relax, falling into his own little slumber
And now… the third time
While Kimi walked through the Silverstone paddock on a Thursday evening, as photographers cameras flashed as he tried to get through, his eyes and head hurting
“Excuse me…”
Kimi muttered as he tried to weave his body through the crowd, but got stopped again
“Hey- guys-“
Kimi tried to but in but a reporters kept on asking him questions
“That’s enough! Give him apace!”
Sebastians voice cut through, clearing a path and leasing Kimi to the Ferrari hospitality,
“You ok?”
Kimi nodded, not feeling like talking much as he needed to destress after that
And now, Kimi couldn't risk it anymore. He had been way to close to being small or acting small in those situations that he only ever brought a dummy and a pack if nappies.
“Kimi?”
Sebastian walked into Kimi’s changing room, looking at the bag
“You good, man?”
Kimi nodded, bot talking again as Sebastian smiled softly
“I have been doing some researching….”
Kimi gulps nervously for a minute, now his brain overthinking every Little thing he could think of. But his face was stoic.
“I Uhm… saw something about… age regression? Online…”
Now Kimi’s head was in overdrive
“Don't tell anyone about what you saw”
Kimi said instantly as he looked over at his bag, and Sebastian looked over. They gave each-other a stare before they bolted for the bag
But it was Sebastian that managed to get it. Now with Seb getting the bag, Kimi looked up at Seb with a pout, his brain already loosing control.
“Give it back!”
He spoke, a noticeable whine on his voice as he tried to grab his bag, but couldn't.
Sebastian’s heart melted there and then. You could tell Kimi’s brain was turning into mush right there.
“Give it back!”
He said again, but then Sebastian put the bag down, and hauled Kimi into his arms
Kimi squeaked out in surprise, but now his brain had fully softened
“Down…”
Kimi asked, but sebastian shook his head and lifted up Kimi’s bag
“Lets go see whats in the bag , hm?”
Kimi shook his head as Sebastian put the bag on the table, opening it and rummaging around
He found a small stuffed dragon, his dummy and the emergency pack of nappies
“Look at what you have here, hm?”
Sebastian gave the stuffed dragon to Kimi, who instantly hugged it close. Sebastian then gave Kimi the dummy. Kimi took it without protest, sucking on the dummy
Kimi was now deep. Deeper then he had gone before. Now pretty young in his mind
Sebastian looked back at the nappies, before picking them up and taking them to the bathroom, laying down a towel and then laying Kimi on it
“Good…”
Sebastian praised as he rubbed Kimi’s tummy, holding him down there as he opened the pack of nappies and took one out, then turning back to Kimi and taking off his shorts and underwear
As Seb quickly opened the Nappy, Kimi kept on squirming and sitting up, but Seb managed to get the nappy on.
Seb picked Kimi up, taking off his shirt and carrying him out, laying him down on the sofa again
“You feel better now, hm?”
Sebastian asked as he carded a hand through Kimi’s hair, the man nuzzling into it
Sebastians heart swelled as he watched Kimi love the attention, and Sebastian moved onto rubbing Kimi’s sides, as Kimi’s eyes slowly fell shut and started to sleep, his stuffed dragon and pacifier still with him
Sebastian smiled again, god he could barely help himself when there was this little boy sleeping I front of him…
Who would have thought the “Ice Man” Kimi Räikkönen could be such a sweet little boy?
