Dean had been holding back his regression this whole hunting trip and finally has a chance to regress.

He grabs his pacifier, which was custom made to look like the Impala. And he grabbed his favorite doggie stuffie that always calmed him down whenever he was in a bad mood. He regresses very quickly and plays around with his stuffie until he falls asleep, his pacifer was still in mouth and stuffie in his arms.

Sam wakes up early to make everyone breakfast but to his surprise Castiel is already in the kitchen sitting there looking down

"Cas, what are you doing in here. You okay?"

Castiel jumps up and looks startled for a sec but replies with "yeah I'm fine"

"Are you sure you looked down in the dumps"

"Yeah I'm just thinking about some of the research we've been working on trying to find any answer at all"

"Alright well I'm going to make breakfast, would you like some?"

"Sure Sam, thank you"

Sam cooks and shortly before the food is done he tells Cas to wake Dean up and tell him breakfast is ready if he'd like some...

Castiel knocks on Dean's door but doesn't wait until he walks in the room to see a pacifer in Dean's mouth and his stuffie

Castiel looking shocked but doesn't say anything instead he thinks to himself why would Dean have a pacifer? He's only seen babies with pacifiers and couldn't think of any theory as to why Dean had a pacifer besides for maybe a deaging spell

Dean jumps out of bed so fast he almost falls on his head and throws the pacifer to the back of his pillow and his stuffie

"Uhh hey dude, you ever heard of knocking?"

"I did Dean... Are you feeling alright?"

"Huh yeah I'm fine dude. What did you need?"

"Breakfast is ready, but are you sure you're feeling alright?"

"Never better" he storms right past Castiel to go eat without saying another word

They had a very awkward breakfast and Sam was confused the whole time not knowing why they were looking at eachother so weirdly but he doesn't comment on their behavior

After breakfast...

Castiel asks Dean to go to Dean's room to talk alone, Dean agrees feeling anxious... Castiel closes the door and with a confused look goes

"What's going on with you? Did a witch get to you?"

"No Cas I'm fine"

"Dean... what's going on then? You had a pacifer and youve been acting super weird ever since I came in this room"

Dean uncontrollably shakes and tears come out of his eyes, he tried to stop but it wouldn't stop

"N-nothing" he looks away from Castiel

Castiel gently puts his hand on Dean's shoulder looking concerned "you can tell me Dean..."

Dean uncontrollably sobs and Castiel just sits next to Dean waiting for him to calm down knowing he could do nothing to help Dean right now until he told him the truth...

15 minutes later Dean calms down and says you can never tell anyone about this"

"Sure Dean, okay I won't"

"None of this you can tell anyone about"

"Okay"

"I don't even know how to say this but umm I guess here we are. I'm what you call an age regressor. I know you don't know what that means so I'll try to explain. It's basically where you think and act like a child and I can't usually control it for a long period of time it just happens and man I hate it so much it feels ridiculous"

Castiel looking slightly shocked yet confused

"Why would you think and act like a child? Is it a bad thing?"

"No it's not really a bad thing... apparently it's kinda common apparently there's communities for people like me and it's a coping mechanism cause of my messed up life"

"May I do some research about it? It'd get me off the other research I so desperately don't want to do"

"A-alright"

Castiel does his reseach about age regression and especially caregiving and realizes that's what Dean might need if he allows him. It was worth a shot, maybe it'd even brighten his mood since Dean always is upset

He goes back to Dean's room

"May I ask you something?"

"Have you heard of a caregiver?"

"Umm yeah, why?"

"Do you need that? Be honest please"

"Uh well I guess since you know everything else then um I guess yeah I've always wanted a caregiver"

"How about when it's just us two and you want to regress then I could help out"

"I-I actually?"

"Yeah Dean! You know how much I love seeing you happy"

"Alright uh yeah I guess we can do that, lets just take that part slow though I'm kinda already uncomfortable the way it is"
