Grian made a Daycare for the littles on Hermitcraft, and was making train tracks for them, and started with EX, not ready for the little -who in Grian's opinion was the one who regressed the most on the server- to be forcing himself to stay big, and untimely dropping into regression.
Or: Mama Bird Grian goes to find EX to make train tracks with him, only to find his kiddo forcing himself to stay big, and eventually regressing involuntarily; and ending regressing.

Grian smiled, filling up a bag with all sorts of toys, a sensory cube made by pearl, some outfits made by scar, and some sweets from impulse and a few toys, a blankie, a sippy, and a bottle from himself. What could he say, he was "Mama Bird Grian" as the server liked to call him. He couldn't help but over-prepare. He had just finished building the daycare for the littles, the whole server knew about it, even some CGs and Flips help build it! but he did say there was a surprise for all the regressors, and that was train tracks! He was getting ready to find EX, having messaged him just before, the man should have been at the Boatem hole, and he was, Grian gave him a smile.
"You ready for the surprise?" He said happily, EX just nodded, not excitedly or anything like he normally would. Grian figured he was just feeling big, and was happy he packed some regression clothes from Scar.
He carefully brought him to the daycare, much to EXs confusion
"Grian i know about this already, everyone does." He said trying not to sound harsh. Grian shook his head.
"You know about the daycare, not what's inside of it!" He said with a smile, bringing the boy inside, and down the steps to what looked like a train station. inside there were multiple tunnels leading to different littles, one name he noticed was his own, he shook his head at the sign. Grian noticed this.
"Kiddo, you ok?" He said softly. EX huffed, he didn't want to regress, it didn't feel right, in his own eyes, he was to big physically to regress, not that he would tell grian that, at least not in this headspace.
"I'm fine, and could you not call me kiddo, please?" He said, he hesitated on that last bit. Grian looked at him worriedly but nodded.
"Alright k-" he cut him self off almost instantly, he was the type of CG that respected his littles wishes, so he was quick to make sure he didn't call EX kiddo. (though it was very tempting.)
"EX, what color do you want?" Grian asked, EX looked confused grian realized he hadn't explained what they'd be doing.
"Oh! Right i forgot to tell you! Your gonna help me paint and decorate your tunnel to the daycare!" EX nodded.
"Hmm, pink?" This was a tunnel for regressors, and that was his favorite color when regressed. He saw Grian pull out shulker boxes of different colors, each with a matching paint in them. Grian opened the pink shulker, pulling out the paint, but before that he set down the bag he packed earlier, on the black shulker box, right by EX, and he couldn't help but peek. what he saw was his bottle, and blankie, everything else was underneath the blanket. He shook his head, looking back at Grian, who looked at him worriedly.
"EX, Whats going on?" Grian asked, worry in his voice. EX shifted, not answering at all.
"You want to play?" Grian asked softly only to get EX shaking his head, and him yelling.
"No!" EX froze, he hadn't meant to yell. he was probably gonna get in trouble for this. but grian just sounded worried.
"EX, bubs, what's wrong?" he asked, EX hesitated.
"Too big." he said, trying desperately not to slip,
"You wanna regress?" EX shook his head.
"Body to big, when brain small." he muttered, Grian understood what was going on.
"Oh baby, your never to big." He hummed. EX huffed.
"Can't be carried." he muttered, he was half regressed at this point. Grian looked at him.
"You wanna be carried bubs? I can carry you!" Grian was right, he could definitely pick up EX, and pearl definitely could, she carried all of Boatem once. EX looked at him hopefully
"Really?" Grian smiled, and put down the paint.
"Yes really, if you want I can right now-" EX shook his head, pointing to the paint
"Wan paint first!" Grian smiled.
"Alright kiddo," grian paused and hummed. "Do you wanna get changed first?" EX nodded his head eagerly. Grian smiled "You think you can do it yourself?" EX nodded again
"Yeah!" He grabbed the bag, and grian nodded and the kiddo ran off to get changed. the rest of the day was filled with grian and EX painting the walls, and eventually, EX going on a piggyback ride with grian, painting the roof of his tunnel.
