During Double Life, Tango had regressed after a particularly stressful session. Without thinking much of it, Jimmy went to ruffle his hair, forgetting that his hair is made up of flames. Tango only noticed a bit too late and didn't have enough time to move out of the way. To Tango's surprise, no yelps or screams of pain follow.
"Huh, it doesn't hurt." Jimmy thought out loud.
"But it hurts o'fer people." Tango replied, a little confused still.
Jimmy gasps, an idea popping into his head. "You're just like the Pokémon Ponyta! The flames hurt everyone else because you're not as close to them, but I've gained so much of your trust that I can touch them now! That's so cool!"
Tango wasn't entirely convinced that it was true, but he did like the thought.
Summary: Xisuma regresses, thinking he’ll get a night to just relax. But Keralis decides to come check on him, causing X to freak out. He does get some good cuddles after though

✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈
Xisuma prided himself on being strong and reliable. On being the kind of admin he wanted to be; someone his players could come to for help and reassurance.
So, it wasn’t uncommon for him to hide his weaknesses. Whatever he thought was a weakness or a crack in his strong “persona” was buried or pushed away from anyone else’s view.
One that he kept especially hidden was a coping mechanism of his.
His regression.
It always made him feel comfortable and mostly relaxed in the moment, but as soon as he was back in his older mindset, it was heavily covered up.
He never regressed outside of his bedroom, and he tried his absolute hardest to not let himself get small until past nightfall when there’s less chance of someone coming to see him. He barely had any gear and whatever he did have was either deeply hidden in his ender chest or passed off as “emergency gear” for others if it was needed (which he did also have).
He just couldn’t risk being seen in such a small, vulnerable state when he needed to be his player’s safety net and admin.
—
Xisuma was laid out in bed, soother in his mouth and his favourite plushies hugged to his chest. And he was finally calm for the first time in weeks.
Little X didn’t have to worry about anything; no admin things or rogue hermits, just cuddling with his stuffies and watching whatever stupid shows or movies he could find. And right now, he just wants to relax, listen to the low sound of the wind blowing about outside and rest up.
He pulled his soft blanket further up to leave only his head out, snuggling into the warmth of his bed. Then pulled out his comm to look for something to put on, eventually choosing a movie that he’d adored as a child (and still kinda does now).
With his comm leaned up against the edge of his side table, so he didn’t have to hold it, he closed his eyes. He didn’t feel the need to actually watch it, he mostly just wanted something more substantial on in the background.
It’s something that he does frequently, even when he’s big. Music being a common choice when he needed something to drown out his hyperactive mind.
He laid there for a while, just floating in the state between asleep and awake. His mind had quieted and he felt safe and warm.
Then a knock sounded at his door. His bedroom door. And before he could react, it opened. He whipped up to sit and pushed the little things behind him. Just as Keralis peaked in, he realised he still had the soother in his mouth. His eyes widened more and he slapped a hand over his mouth, attempting to hide what had already been seen.
Keralis stood in the doorway, shocked at how he’d found his admin. But quickly his expression turned to one of care and slight guilt as X’s eyes started to water.
He was usually better at handling his emotions, but when he’s little, that all goes out the window. Tears started to run down his flushed cheeks as he scrambled to run away, hoping to avoid whatever was to come. He managed to clamber off his bed, but he barely took two steps toward the bathroom before Keralis had his arms around him.
He struggled for a minute before he gave up and crumpled to the floor; almost taking Keralis with him. His breathing and heartbeat had picked up quite a bit. His breaths came out in shutters, his mind completely stopped functioning and he just sat in a heap on the floor.
Keralis quickly dropped down beside him, “Oh, my dear,” he gently ran his hand through X’s hair, “I’m sorry, sweetheart”
Xisuma was so conflicted. He desperately wanted this affection and love, but he was terrified by the thought of giving in and being vulnerable around another person.
His breathing became something closer to gasping sobs and hiccups as his body tried to take in air.
“Come here, Shashwammy” he pulled the distraught little into his lap, wrapping his arms firmly around him.
Xisuma again struggled lightly but he relented pretty quickly, just resting his head against his friend’s chest. Keralis threaded his fingers through X’s hair again, and lightly rocked back and forth hoping to calm him down.
“Just breathe for me, little bee,” he murmured.
Xisuma whimpered, his mind still at war with itself. His tears streamed steadily down his cheeks; the polaring thoughts of both fear and desperate need for comfort had him struggling.
—
It took a long while for Xisuma to settle back down. But Keralis stayed with him. No matter how long it took, he stayed, murmuring reassurances and rubbing his back all the while.
“How are you feeling now?” He spoke softly to not startle him from his, possibly fragile, calm.
Xisuma grumbled into his shoulder; he felt like crap, his head hurt and he felt even more exhausted than he had before.
Keralis sighed, “Yeah, I don’t blame you, little bee” he kissed the top of his head, “how about we get you back to bed, hmm?”
The little one nodded but didn’t let go of his friend; who chuckled at his clinging before just picking him up.
He walked them over to the bed, setting X down and moving to grab the blankets that had been thrown around.
X voiced his displeasure at Keralis moving away from him.
The older man chuckled, “I’m still right here, sweetface. Just grabbing…these!” he tossed the blankets over the little, covering his face “accidentally”.
X giggled as he scrambled to push them off, his head then popping out from under them with a beautifully wide smile on his lips.
Keralis smiles back just as wide. Seeing Xisuma so genuinely happy has him practically melting.
He reached over Xisuma and took hold of the few plushies that had been left and handed them back.
“Here. I’m sure you want a cuddle after such a rough time” he watched as X nodded and shuffled them around until he had them in the right spots again.
X then whined slightly, grabbing his friend’s wrist.
“What’s wrong?” He crouched beside the bed.
X just whined louder and tugged his arm.
Keralis sat for a second, trying to understand what he wanted. He didn’t know what X needed when he was little, so he didn’t have much information to go on.
But when the little tugs his arm again he had a thought, “Do you want cuddles?”
Xisuma furiously nodded, a glimmer of hope shone in his eyes.
The older man’s confusion melted into affection, a warm smile breaking out on his face, “Okay, we can do that!”
He stood up from his crouched position, “I’m just going to clean off your pacifier and I’ll be right back” he booped the little on the nose.
X scrunched his nose but still huffed a small laugh as he settled in further, his eyes following the other man.
Keralis made sure to be quick as he scooped up the soother from the floor, washed it off in the bathroom sink (giving a little wave to X to make him giggle while he did), and made his way back over.
“Here you are,” he offered the item out, “all clean!”
X quickly grabbed it, popped it in his mouth, and again grabbed onto Keralis’ wrist.
“Yes, I’ll cuddle with you now” he chuckled.
Xisuma inched back a bit to let him in, holding the blanket up for him.
“Thank you, little sir” he theatrically thanked as he got settled.
X smiled and huffed a laugh as shuffled closer to put his face against the other’s chest. He quickly melted into the firm embrace that he got wrapped in.
“How about I tell you a story?”
He felt him nod against his chest.
“Alright, once apon a time…”
He told a story of a knight and a goatman, weaving words into a tale he would never be able to exactly replicate.
When he finished his telling, he looked down at the little sleeping void in his arms.
It wasn’t very often that he got to see X asleep. And most of the time when he did, it was because he’d fallen asleep at his desk and had to be brought to bed. So this was a pleasant change, seeing him in a properly calm sleep.
He gently ran his fingers through his hair, brushing the stray pieces away from his face in the process, and placed a kiss to the little’s forehead. X stirred just a bit, mumbling something close to “papa” before nuzzling against the other and settling down again.
A very warm feeling bloomed in his chest, a deep love for his friend who had let him in, and had then felt comfortable enough to be held by him while he slept.
He almost felt overwhelmed by the trust he’d been given tonight; by the stubbornness admin he knew, no less.
He couldn’t help himself but to pull him closer and rest his head on top of X’s. Like he was putting up a small barrier between the little and the scary world outside this room; his protective nature really showing itself.
A little later, as he also drifted off to sleep, Keralis distantly hoped he’d be able to see this again. To see the steady and resilient admin he saw day to day finally get some rest and take care of himself. To let himself be the priority for once.
And maybe he’d let him in just a bit more than before. Just a little.
