Chapter Text
Roulxs sat staring at his reflection while swirling a straw he hadn’t in a used in his glass. In fact, he hadn’t drank from it at all, it was battery acid! He couldn’t drink it, what was he thinking?!? He flinched when he heard Queen’s voice; He had entirely forgot she was sitting there.
“Sweaty You Havent Touched Your Battery Acid Is Something Wrong”
“O-oh no! I am… just fine! …eth,” in reality, of course, he was not fine. He had been stressed all day, and Queen asking him out to drink made everything even worse. He had been wanting to regress all day, since he was putting it off for so long, but everything was just too much. He couldn’t take it anymore.
His regression wasn’t something he usually thought about outside of when he was actually doing it. Just once a month to make sure work wouldn’t stress him out. Usually alone in his room, a few times he did it with Swatch. Why did he have to put it off why why why? He was so stupid he should just—
“I Can Tell Something Is Not: Right,” Queen interrupted his thought spiral. Had he done something noticeable? He had apparently started sweating without realizing.
“I-I-I— uhh… I-I’m…” He could barely talk. Why? Why did he have to have a breakdown now in front of Queen? He was done for. She would think he was weird and stupid and a baby because he was. He put his head in his hands and slammed his elbows on the table.
“…Roulxsy?” Queen said, with true concern in her voice. The nickname made him feel fuzzy— NO. Not here. He couldn’t do that in front of her. He let out a little whine in response.
“There Is A: 97% Chance You Are Not Okay. Please Tell Me What Is Going On,” There was a nice warm tone to her voice that made him feel… safe. Safe with telling her. He took a deep breath and lifted his head up.
“…Do thou promise not to ridicule me?”
“Yes LMAO,” Roulxs made sure to check her display screen to see it didn’t say ‘LIE’. Queen gave him a knowing smirk.
“I… do…-eth this… thing.. and I… UGH! I can’t… sowwy..” He groaned at himself for slipping at the end of his sentence.
“Its Okay Take Your Time,” Roulxs took another deep breath and dropped his accent.
“I… sometimes do a thing where I’ll… I don’t really know how to explain it… I’ll go into a younger state of… mind… I guess, to de-stress,” He sighed and felt like a weight was lifted off his back. Queen’s lack of response was concerning. Her expression was blank.
“Oh I Already Knew That I Think LOL,” she finally spoke up after a moment.
“W-w-what?!?!?!?” he started hyperventilating. Queen quickly went to reassure him.
“Oh Nonononono I Meant I Know What Age Regression Is. I Think I Have Seen Those Symptoms In You Though. Its Fine Youre Fine,” Roulxs let out a sigh. He felt kind if weird that Queen had been observing him like that, but it was better than her making fun of him…
“Oh… good. But… how do yu know so much ‘bout it?” Rouxls asked. His voice was getting a bit higher in pitch, and he kept slipping up and baby-talking, but knowing Queen was so.. knowledgeable, he felt more safe with doing that.
“I Am Literally A Computer I Have Infinite Access To Knowledge LMAO,” Queen let out a loud laugh, and noticed Roulxs flinch a little. “Uh. Sooooo Do You: Want Me To Act As Your Caregiver? I Could Do That….. If You Wanted Me To.”
Roulxs had never considered that possibility. Part of him was worried she would mess up something with him, and part of him felt comfortable with her, especially knowing that she knew so much about it. He let out a small whimper, thinking about how loud Queen was when she laughed. She seemed to immediately notice what was wrong.
“Turning On Child-Friendly Mode…….. Child-Friendly Mode Activated.” Queen walked over to Roulxs, who was now hugging his knees to his chest. “Hi Little Guy… Would You Like To Go To Your Room?” she asked. Rouxls gave her a tiny nod.
They both got up, and Queen reached out her hand for him to hold. He took it with what seemed to be caution, but eventually gave it an iron grip. The walk was quite quiet, but when they arrived at Roulxs’ room he giggled and ran to jump on his bed. Queen smiled at how playful he was.
Roulxs rolled around on his bed for a bit before hanging his head upside-down from the edge.
“Queenie… I’m borrrrrrred!” He whined. His face then lit up, and he stood up to run to his closet. He opened it up and pulled out a wooden toy box adorned with little carvings of animals. Inside was a bunch of toys, some blankets, stuffed animals, and various other kid’s stuff.
“Wow Whered You Get All This From,” Queen said, as she sifted through the box. Roulxs gave no response. He pulled out a large owl plushie and gave it a big squeeze. He set it down on his lap, and turned to Queen.
“This my fren’!” Roulxs declared, while presenting the plush to Queen.
“Wow Whats His Name?” She gave it a few pats on the head.
“She’s a girl!! An’ I don’ think she has a name…”
“Oh My Im So Sorry! Would You Like To Give Her A Name Though?” Roulxs put his finger on his chin thoughtfully.
“Maybe… Queen! ‘Cause she’s blue, like you!” He said after thinking for a bit. Queen looked at the plush for a bit and noticed it had light blue feathers in some places, it was barely noticeable but she didn’t want to make Roulxs sad for his choice. Plus… he had named it after her! She felt liker her heart was going to melt.
“Thats A Great Name Sweaty!” she tousled Roulxs’ hair as he brought the plush back to his lap and giggled. “Say…. Would You Like To Get Some Jammies On? That Coat Looks Really Uncomfy,” He perked up at the idea, and ran to his closet to get some pajamas. There was a plain dark blue shirt and some dark blue and white checkered pants in his hands when he ran back.
“Can You Change Yourself?” She asked. Roulxs gave a nod and ran to the bathroom. Queen
