caregiver who would love to have a baby monitor in their kid's room so whenever they're busy they could check in and still watch over their tiny one, sending verbal reminders over the speaker for self care whenever their little angel get too distracted playing with their toys.
" baby, it's time for a little break from playtime, could you eat a small snack & drink some water for mama / dada? don't forget to go potty first and wash your hands like how i taught you ! "
βReader regresses for the first time after a long period of not regressing at all.β (feat. Mettaton EX)
This plot idea came to me immediately upon seeing the prompt, so I hope yβall enjoy it! I pulled some inspiration from one of @inkalaβs works, and the nickname βlovieβ comes from when I met Erika Henningsen last August! She was such an angel, oh my GOD! π₯Ή

You pass through the entryway of your shared penthouse apartment, the doors slamming shut behind you. With a groan, you kick off your shoes and trudge over to the pink, plush couch. You bellyflop onto it, and your mind, which has had your stress amped up to eleven for the past month due to needing to finish your thesis, finally breaks away and puts you in a more vulnerable state.
As you hug one of the many plushies of Mettatonβs box form that lies around the house, the aforementioned robot enters the room. βWell, hello, beau-β Mettaton stops short as he sees you curled up like a cat on the couch, hands clenched around the marketable plush. He slowly walks over to the sofa, gently sitting on it and placing a hand on your back. βIs it one of those small times again, darling?β You nod, your head peeking out for a moment. βI understand. Youβve been so stressed lately and barely had a break.β
βBeen hard,β you mumble. βDonβt have much time for care.β The anxiety had taken an effect on your skin and body, with pimples from stress sprouting on your face and your back aching from hours spent bent over your laptop.
βI can tell, lovie. Would you like me to help you feel pretty again?β You nod in response, and Mettaton takes a pillow from the couch and places it on his lap. βCome here, let me braid your hair.β You ease into his touch, allowing his gloved fingers to ease the tension in your scalp and partition your hair. The motions are repetitive and controlled, allowing you to relax more and reduce the worries inside your head. βI understand if you donβt want to talk, darling. Would you like me to share some good news instead?β You reply with a happy hum. βGood!β
