Papamech and Flambaby
Robert was the first to know that Flambae was a little. That's because Flambae hard regressed after their encounter, and Robert had to take a crying and panicking 6'4" toddler to the emergency room to get treatment.
As a result, Adult!Flambae loathes Mecha-Man while Little!Flambae adores Mecha-Man openly. Adult!Flambae secretly likes Mecha-Man but would never accept it.
Flambae lives with Prism, and she was his main caretaker before Robert started working at the SDN. She is still a main caretaker and is a big help, but that job now goes to Robert.
Flambae may have accidentally regressed after setting the fire on the first mission after Robert called him out. The stern voice is a key thing in his regression.
Queue Robert catching on almost immediately along with Prism. He was called back into the SDN. He was put in the corner for his crimes.
Flambae genuinely starts crying and is extremely remorseful for it. Especially when Robert says he's disappointed in him.
Robert begins parenting Flambae after that. He puts extra attention to him. If he's ate, has his snacks, if he's padded or not. Flambae is embarrassed at first and gives his quips. That is until he starts to open up a bit more to Robert.
Robert can handle Flambae's big emotions, with the help of Prism. Flambae is prone to acting like a brat but strives to be a good boy.
Flambae thrives on Robert's attention and is prone to being jealous. He will act out to get Robert's attention. Robert will humor his Flamechild from time to time. When they go to the gym, Flambae eagerly is Robert's spotter. He lights up when Robert praises him.
When he learns Robert is Mecha-Man, he actually cries and throws a tantrum. His adult mind is furious, while his regressed mind is happy that the man that took interest in him is his hero.
Let's just say he has a tantrum and a breakdown and regresses to an age he never does. He stats regressed for a while after and doesn't understand why his head hurts or his heart aches when he looks at Robert.
It takes a good week before he finally exits his headspace. He looks at Robert and he does hit him. But it's much softer and he has tears in his eyes.
Robert apologizes to Flambae, and they have a conversation about that very day. A lot of ,manly, tears were shed that day on Flambae's end. He was embarrassed to admit that he was struggling at that time. And that he was holding back regressing hard.
After talks and conversations it is decided that not only will Flambae go to therapy but that Robert will go with him.
Robert becomes Flambae's caregiver officially after that.
Flambae has bratty tendencies and strives for Robert's attention. He hates being treated like a baby, but he also likes being treated like a baby.
He regresses regularly and casually with Robert. He can easily go from being his adult self to his regressed self.
He goes from anywhere from a 5-7 year old but can go as low as 3/4. He gets flustered when Robert suggests being padded. Though he won't say no to it.
Little!Flambae loves when Robert helps with his hair but is a diva about it being messy. He also gets very upset about his clothes and what he wears. He hates if Robert picks ugly or non matching clothes for him.
While regressed, Flambae loves giving hugs, especially when people are cold. He loves warming Robert up.
