RQTS CLOSED

completely unphased when he finds out, he already knows what age regression is. asks you to please let him or watari know when you're slipping and not push yourself because it may hinder the investigation, and, of course, he wants you to take care of yourself

offers to get you whatever you'd like when regressed. pacifiers, sippy cups, stuffies, toys, etc. nothing is too much to ask for

he's very busy so he doesn't interact with you as a little much, but when he does he smiles more and always offers you some of his snacks

will apologise or try to make up for it if he upsets you but still talks like normal and doesn't baby or worry about you like the others do

doesn't mind you being next to him when he's busy as long as you're mostly quiet, he'll sometimes offer you the hand he usually stims with to hold. he likes to try goading you into making fun of light

not very affectionate, but will pat your head or shoulder if you're showing him something you made/like

designates matsuda to take care of you

found it weird at first, he didn't know what age regression was and had to have it explained, but he adjusted to it pretty fast as he spent time with little you

very doting and praising and is genuine in all of it

he colors with you and compliments your art so much, the task force made fun of how much worse his drawings were than yours until you got upset at them

absolutely loves and gets attached to you because you're so nice to him (unlike everyone else lol)

goofy big brother figure, he's naturally silly but dials it up with you to make you laugh

"kiddo" "angel" "cutie" "little one"

really good at playing together and making up stories

was surprised at first because he didn't know what age regression was, but was respectful about it

"you can tell me too, if there's anything you need" after L offers because he, of course, has to be important

as busy as L is, so he can't interact with you much but he's almost perfect with you (he definitely didn't do lots of research to come across well)

if you're regressed the occasional times he takes a break he'll spend some time playing with you before going back to work

when he's with you he somehow always knows what you need before you do

pulls you into his lap when you're talking to him and lets you sit in his lap while he's working if you promise to be good and not distract them (especially loves to do this when misa is in the room so she can't)

the best at settling you down when you're fussy, always keeps his cool and is good at explaining things or compromising with you

"sweetie" "sweetheart" "little one"

reliable big brother

he doesn't really get it and finds it hard to wrap his head around but tries his best to be respectful

nice but very awkward about it, kind of like an uncle who loves you but doesn't know how to talk to kids

checks in on you a lot at first, you always have to remind him to just treat you like normal when you're not regressed

he tends to keep out of your way when you're little but will always smile when he interacts with you and praises you or pats your shoulder

it takes a while, but he eventually becomes more comfortable with you being little. he thinks it's sweet when he sees you and matsuda playing together

checks in on you frequently and makes sure your needs are met

like L, he offers you whatever you'd like. he's more strict towards you than he is with L though, knowing you're not adjusted to a diet of only sweet treats even if that's all you want to eat

very patient and understanding

if you stay the night at task force headquarters because you're regressed, watari will take over matsuda in caring for you

helps you wash and dress if you need it and tucks you into bed, he'll read you a story if you ask
