Regressor! Dabi
Caregiver! Shigaraki (maybe?)
Shigaraki finds a pacifier that had been left out on Dabi's bed and confronts him about it, not knowing that Dabi was an age regressor.

"Hey, Dabi?" Shigaraki held something up for Dabi to see. It was a plain black pacifier with blue gems and a flame in the middle. The black haired male stiffened when he saw the item presented, shaking his head. He didn't want his boyfriend- Shigaraki to ever find out about this.

"Do you mind explaining what this is? I just want to understand..." Shigaraki spoke again, seeing that Dabi was in a panic. "Do you regress?" He asked, looking at Dabi, receiving a nervous nod in response.

"Yeah..." Dabi mumbled, hiding his face in his sleeve, his skin turning a beet red. "I regress... Didn't want you to find out..." He began biting and chewing on his sleeve, feeling his mind go soft and fuzzy.

"Why didn't you want my to find out? Little Flame?" Shigaraki asked, picking up on Dabi's behavior.

" 'Cause is dumb... 'm not supposed ta be baby..." Dabi glared as he looked up at Shigaraki.

"You have expirienced painful and sad things throughout your childhood, you can regress if you need to..." Shigaraki said, holding the soother out to Dabi with a smile, watching the teen snatch away the plastic and place it into his mouth.

Dabi was now in a fully regressed state, the situation looking not so scary anymore. He suckled on the pacifier gently and stomped his feet, running back to his room.

Shigaraki was confused by the behavior as he waited for the little boy to return. "Dabi? You here Little Flame?" To which he heard giggles and footsteps racing back out to show him something.

Dabi looked at Shigaraki and beamed, hiding his smile behind a stuffed bear he had. "Dis is Ember..." He mumbled, very quietly. The stuffie was a bear with black fur and ice blue eyes. He was wearing a very all-might centered outfit and the logo read that the bear was in fact from Build-A-Bear. "He has cool ice powers and a song!"

Shigaraki nodded and smiled widely at the bear. "Hi Ember!" He said softly to the small bear, hoping to appease the little boy in front of him.

Dabi beamed and brought the stuffie up to his ear and nodded. "He says he wuvs you!" He stated very matter-of-factly. " 'N he says he can trust you."

Shigaraki nodded, remembering how hard it was to trust and took it very seriously, even if it was a stuffed bear. "So, what song does he play?" Shigaraki asked gently, hearing Dabi gasp softly and press the button to make the bear sing. He started to dance around, wiggling with the bear in his lap as it played 'Into the Unknown'. "Ah, Frozen 2, huh Little Flame?" He received a small noise that sounded like 'uh-huh!' from the little and sighed. "How old are you?"

Dabi thought hard about that, holding up three fingers then hesitating, putting his hand down and holding up two, then shaking his head and switching between two and three.

"Okay bud, so, between two and three?" Shigaraki received a nod of confirmation and smiled. "That's so small Little Flame!" Dabi pouted in response and looked at Shigaraki. "Wan' watch show..." He mumbled, being muffled by the pacifier in this mouth but Shigaraki understood.

"Which one?" Shigaraki asked watching Dabi run to his room again and return with a DVD of paw patrol. "Paw Patrol?" Shigaraki questioned, hearing Dabi whine and stamp his feet.

"Please don't get fussy Little Flame, we'll watch it..." He reluctantly agreed, opening the DVD player. Listen, you try being a criminal base where people aren't supposed to know about. You can't get Netflix, so DVD's are how it ends up being. He hit play on the machine after putting in the disc, hearing another whine. "Why don't you go change into a onesie, Little Spark?" Another whine. "Do you need help?" Shigaraki asked, swing Dani nod. "Okay Little Flame," he's said, walking over to Dabi's room and selecting a cute Chase themed Onesie.

Dabi squeaked happily when he saw the onesie that was chosen. Chase was his favorite character!

Shigaraki nodded in response and helped Dabi into the onesie carefully. "Now let's go watch Paw Patrol Little Flame!"
