Work Text:
Y/N was suddenly in a blue and purple room with a little orange for accents. They were only a little relieved as they came there, their throat was sore from overuse, they had just stopped yelling to look around at the stars on the ceiling. Their oversized boots were falling off their limbs, dripping from water getting in the boots, smelly, dirty, fishy water that their team were forced to go through for fish. Now their socks were all wet, it felt like they were developing trench foot.
“Hey there, I see you're having some issues…. Y/N is it?” A blue algebralian was in front of them now, she looked like the number One.
“Where are we?” They asked, their voice was raspy from the yelling, it caused them to cough. God they shouldn't have yelled at their team so much. Sure they were immature idiots who couldn't catch fish if their mothers lives depended on it, but their throat hurt so much!
“Ohh… it's just where I like to go to think… plan and have meetings!” One then used their levitation to slide a paper in front of Y/N.
“How about we make a deal? Your team will listen to your every word, and all you'll need to do is do a little favor from me.”
They started reading the contract infront of them. Feeling the big eyes look onto them. They tried reading faster but slowly lost track,they then couldn't make sense of any of the words. It was surely all in English, but the words were turning into nothing but curves and lines. Why couldn't they read anything anymore? They were able to read like 5 seconds ago.
“Is everything alright Y/N?” One's voice was sickeningly sweet, they felt like throwing up. Their eyes watered up, they tried to stop themselves from crying.
“Yeah-yeah! Might take a minute to read…” their voice was brittle. They kept trying to read until the paper was snatched by One, the shock finally caused the first tear to drip down their face.
“You seem upset. Is something wrong?” One made the contract disappear from the room. Y/N shook their head, rocking back and forth.
“Oh come on! I'm a good old friend of two, you can trust me!” Y/N started full on crying, barely able to contain themselves anymore.
“Oh… oh dear, here grab onto this.” They pulled out a thick blue blanket. Wrapping it around Y/N. The blanket has scattered white stars. Y/N continued crying into the warmth of the fuzzy cloth. After over 3 minutes, once they has calmed they looked up at One, staring back at them with their big eyes. Seemingly very caring.
“Are you okay?” One asked as Y/N kicked their legs under the blanket, shaking their head. The thoughts in their head were all scattered about. They look away from One, knowing what this meant for them.
“One, can I say something?” Y/N whines out. one nodded, smiling.
“I'm just feeling small, I couldn't read.” They nearly whisper out the words, One tilted their head before understanding.
“Oh! Why didn't you say so?”
She suddenly took away the blanket from them, pulling it towards herself. “There you are, aren't you such a lovely baby.”
Y/N whined as she did so. “Sorry, would you like a toy hon?” One turned the blanket into a dark blue stuffed plush. Handing it over to them. One's magic was bright and shiny. The stuffie was about the size of Y/N's torso. And a deep blue, shiny velvety fur.
“Thanks one.” Their voice was so weak, they knew they couldn't keep talking much longer.
“I guess we can't possibly make a deal in this state, so what would you like to do baby?” One sounded genuinely caring to Y/N. They kicked their legs locking eyes with the floor. One was then pacing to the other side of the room, where there was a vinyl record player. One put on a disk, playing soft lullaby music. The stars above twinkled a soft yellow, their eyes started to get hazy. Vision blurring from exhaustion.
“Oh you must've had such a hard time during today's challenge, didn't you honey.” Y/N nodded, One then gave them a weird look.
“Hey, hey, hon, how about we get you a bath and a change of clothes.” She summoned a bathtub with a purple curtain, the tub dropped to the floor with a thump! Water splashing out on the floor. Y/N knows they wanted to be clean but no. They don't want more water, no, no, no! Gross! They squirm in their seat. Clinging to their plushie.
“C'mon! You can be brave and take a bath, right?” One got close, pushing their plushie down with their foot. Y/N whined but got up despite the churning in their stomach.
“There we go, you're gonna be so clean and cozy!” They stepped in the water, shivering when they did. They took their time to clean, scrubbing the grime off their limbs. Once they felt clean they got out dripping a lot. One gave them a rub down with a thick, purple towel. Y/N whines struggling against it.
“I know I know! you must be so sleepy.” One had put a soft hat and long fuzzy socks on them, levitating them to do so. Y/N nearly fell on the floor when she had set them down. They yawned and whined.
“Okay, okay, time to nap now honey.” Y/N grabbed onto One, and followed the back to the couch. They had to curl up a bit to lay down comfortably, holding their legs up to their torso. One laid a weighted blanket over them, handing back the plushie as they dozed off to the soft lullaby music playing…
When they woke back to the same room they fell asleep in. One was in the opposite chair, looking down. It was the first time they had someone fully care for them while they regressed. They sat up keeping the blanket wrapped around them as one piped up.
“So how about that deal Y/N?”
Okay, maybe they didn't care…
