what’s it looks like like when trinity is settled and comfortable during regression 🧸💭🫧
a/n :: ty anon for this!!! i specifically wrote santos in a younger headspace— cause she’s is so babyre coded it’s insane. she’s also very comfortable with her regression here, just like you asked anon! ALSO pov of big brother dennis!!! gahg. this was longer and in more detailed then my usual headcanons, ykw it’s a fic at this point—
c/w :: diapers, wetting, babyre!
🧸 ┆ santos who wakes up with her thumb in her mouth, and feeling very very little, although she knows it’s okay to be little, her brain still fights with her on this, due to the fact of not truly being able to be small and feel safe due to past traumas, groups making her grow up to fast… trinity decides she’s gonna try and hide under the covers and tries to fall back asleep, to possibly “sleep the regression” away.
💭 ┆dennis who then finally wakes up, realizes it’s a bit late in the day, so, out of worry for his roomate, he knocks on trinity’s door, to which she replies with, “go ‘way!” he frowns and knows that tone, walks in her room and and spots trinity under the covers with her fist in her mouth, he chuckles to himself slightly, he knows that his roomate is feeling itty bitty today, and he just loves playing into this ‘big brother’ role, he feels like it gives him the chance to give back to trin’ in a way.
🫧 ┆”ahh ahh, hey there girly.” dennis croons at trinity the same way he would at the horses back at home before removing her fist from her mouth, “we don’t bite our fist, trin’ germs are everywhere, right? we both know that.” dennis gently scolds at her as trinity pouts back. trinity’s chest heaves a bit, not knowing if she can tell him the truth of how she feels, even if dennis has seen her regressed a million times by now. dennis can tell she’s a bit afraid of a possible bad reaction from him, reaction, so he speaks up, “it’s okay to be little, remember trin? i got you. alright, kid?” he whispers as she feels a bit more relaxed. his thumb and index fingers then cups her cheeks and squeezes gently. she reminded him of a baby bunny.
💭 ┆trinity giggles at him as dennis contours to smile before shuffling up and stretching out, “alright, we got a whole lot of nothing ahead of us, trinity. let’s get ready for it.”
🧸 ┆the morning consist of dennis helping trinity, dennis knows on the days the two have the same day offs is when trinity usually regresses, it had become more so a routine for the two, a routine that dennis cradles close to his heart, the same for santos. he brushes out her hair for her, helps her brush her teeth, reminds her that yes, she has to floss, and since santos is feeling on the smaller side today, he reminds her that she has to wear a pull-up today, which does get santos a little weepy, and red faced when it comes to extra help, but dennis has reminded her many times.
💭 ┆still for trinity, he is so delicate with her, he kneels down to where she is sitting, he gently cradles trinity’s hands, rubbing the sides of her arms the way he knows comforts her, “alright, kid’ i know you hate it when we wear pull-ups,” he rememberes to use the word “we” because he wants to make sure that when it comes to trintity’s regression, she isn’t alone in making any decisions, that he’s always there to help, not scare, he wipes any tears that flow off of trinity’s cheeks as he continues,
🫧 ┆”but I can tell that your feeling smaller today. i don’t want you to have any accidents, and i just want you to feel comfortable, can we do that? can we make you feel safe a secure? hm?” dennis ask his eyes softening for her as trinity muffles out a tearful, “mhm..” she mumbles as she rubs her eyes.
🧸 ┆so dennis does just that, helps her, tapes her up, and gets her comfortable while giving her toothy comforting smile after that and a high five, “see, not so bad, huh?” into which trinity just sticks her tounge out, “alright, alright, let’s go you goober.” as dennis then walks her out to the kitchen for a lazy late breakfast, cereal and toast.
💭 ┆since it’s their day off, the two have agreed in the past that they want— if they had nothing planned out, just the two to do absolutely nothing, and that’s what they do! dennis puts on whatever disney movie hyperfixation little trinity has, currently it’s ‘lion king’, and he plays it until she then asks for the rest of the triology of the movies, and so fourth, until trinity ends up tuckering herself and taking a nap, laying herself on dennis’s lap. baby trinity is usually so much easier to put down then kid or toddler trinity, which dennis isn’t complaining.
🫧 ┆a couple hours past and dennis has also fallen asleep, but then he’s woken up by some sniffling dennis looks down as sees trinity whimpering in her sleep, he starts to play with her hair as trinity starts to settle, dennis chuckles to himself before gently picking trinity up ever so slightly and taking her off his lap so he can get lunch ready.
🧸 ┆dennis strolls to the kitchen and starts to make something easy, he rememebers the left over sinigang and adobo left over that trinity made prior to the night before. He shrugs and grabs that for her and gets it ready to heat it up.
💭 ┆dennis finishes, he then hears cries, they were louder then before, ah, trinity was up from her nap, and just in time for some lunch.
🫧 ┆dennis walks over and trinity is sniffly faced, he trots over and pats her back, “hey trin’, you alright? hungry huh?” santos is flushed, still crying, she isn’t able to voice fully what she really needs, feeling so much smaller then she usually is, she just resorts to her frail cries, and small mumbles, “icky.. icky.” as her fists ball up a bit before dennis realizes.
🧸 ┆”oh kid, did’ya have an accident?” which this earns a petrified reaction from trinitiy, as she feebly hides behind the pillow on the couch and continues to whimper, this absolutely breaks dennis’s heart to see her so scared, he sits down with her and rubs her shoulders and starts mumbling soft encouraging words.
💭 ┆”your okay, trin’ your only so little, girly. it’s okay, babies have accidents, im not upset, den’ isn’t upset.” he says softly before gently placing his palms on her wet chin, her bottom lip jutting out pathetically as she rubs her face. dennis could tell that this was more an angry cry then a sad cry, maybe trin felt like she was out of control? whatever it was trinity slowed down her crying, the sobs turned into whines before she fully calmed down. “let’s get you changed so we can eat your favorite, okay?” dennis whispered as he got up, helping Trinity up as the girl stumbled a bit.
🫧 ┆dennis lead the two into trinity’s room, and laid her down gently. dennis knows he has to do this tenderly, santos is just too small to change herself, and so he quickly coos and croons as her as he gets the job done, sprinkling baby powder as he tapes her up, sniffles came from trinity as he continues to try and be gentle, but also a twinge of a playful spark was sprinkled in as he threw the dirty diaper in the trash, he grinned. “if i get this in, we can watch whatever you want tonight, Trin!” dennis shot—and scored!! “And the crowd goes wild!” he announced, earning a burst of giggles that came from trinity that quickly filled the room.
🧸 ┆whitaker and santos then walked back in the kitchen, the two sat at the couch as dennis fed trinity her lunch, dennis smiled at the girl, she had such a tough demeanor, it was nice seeing her so happy, so vulnerable, he was happy she felt comfortable enough to share that with him.
