The terror bubbling in his chest feels wrong. Everything about it screams wrong. He can't stop that sensation if he can't find Johnny.

Somewhere in his head, tucked behind wall after wall, guarded with his own fear, Johnny's trying to hide this.

Their minds are becoming one and Johnny still thinks he can hide when V feels just about the same things he does. It hurts, slowly being forced out of his head, but somehow, it hurts worse to not be accepted into Johnny's.

HE SO WOULD. (Even if he doesn't really miss his kids, or the responsibility of them) V is so well tangled in his soul that he does want that, to do anything for him. Every time V slips, Kerry wants to bundle him up and keep him safe and never let another stray bullet anywhere near his baby

Kerry picking him up despite the difference in side, the fact that V is heavy muscle compared to himself. It doesn't really matter, all he wants if V happily in his arms, in his house. Just around.

It inspires him to clean up, to make it safe for V to stumble around while he's small. Add a little bit of protection to the sharpest corners V always seems to kick and get bruised by. Lay down rugs, actually furnish a little more... Just to make the villa a home rather than what it is now: a place he just.. sleeps.

So why is Kerry clutching some plushie like it's the end of the world and crying for someone who doesn't exist? A non-existent caretaker to wipe away the tears pouring down his cheeks?

Kerry doesn't get small. Of course not. It's just... a bad day. The fuzziness in his head is nothing, although intensified by whatever he downed in an attempt to drown it out.

He doesn't regress. Look around him. Sleek—but messy—surfaces, sharp edges and cold decor. Nothing about it says soft. Nothing but him, rocking back and forth, sobbing into a stuffed animal that he'll refuse to look at later.

As basic as it is slender seems like a good candidate..

[DISCLAIMER: Finney is infact from The Black Phone franchise and is not meant for kiddos so if you want to watch this I wouldn't reccomend watching it while regressed its VERY adult and it can get VERY dark heck even as an adult it’s very hard to watch to please watch with caution]

Oh..oh this pooor sweet boy ..if you’ve seen the media he’s from I don’t need to explain why this boy would be a regressor …he’s need it so bad he neeeds it to cope with his fear and anger after the events of the first and second film .

I can see him hugging stuffies tightly and chewing on packets or teether to soothe his anger and fear , he would have so many so so many night lights and blankets and cosy pyjamas this boy is taking his boyhood back fiercely .

Also I see his regression being heavily space themes since his bedroom in the first movie had space themes and he had a pen/light shaped as a rocket ship in the movie as well.

As for a Caregiver …sadly I don’t see anyone helping him out it would be very much a private regression by himself in his room …maybe ..maybe on rare occasion have Mando (Armando the camp owner in the second film) help him out.

If he does have a CG this boy is so clingy and sleepy and cries so much he needs to let it all out and be rocked to sleep , reminded to eat well yknow the usual caregiver regressor relationship.

Anyways long ramble aside I hope yall enjoy this moodboard .

•Thanos and Min-su absolutely love Easter and all the things they get to do to prepare for the holiday, while Nam-gyu and Myung-gi are okay with it. It’s not their favorite holiday and they really only like the fact that they get candy in their Easter baskets.

•Se-mi and Gyeong-su do a lot during the holidays and Easter’s no different. Se-mi is often the one who paints the eggs and decorates the house, with both Thanos and Min-su helping her. Gyeong-su does most of the shopping for the baskets and baking/cooking, as well as for the candy and small trinkets to put in the plastic Easter eggs for the egg hunt.

•The egg hunt is probably Thanos’ favorite thing and he gets so competitive over it. Most of the time, he’s the one who has the most eggs because he runs throughout the yard looking for them, while Min-su, Nam-gyu, and Myung-gi carefully search.

•Myung-gi is always so super and pouty after the egg hunt because he’s a very sore loser, even though it’s not really a competition. He just hates the fact that Thanos got more eggs than he did.

•The week before Easter, in a littles are known AU, Se-mi and Gyeong-su take Nam-gyu and Thanos to see the Easter Bunny at the mall. Myung-gi and Min-su refuse to meet him, because Min-su gets nervous around strangers and Myung-gi is terrified of the Easter Bunny costume to the point where if he just glances at him, he starts crying and freaking out. So, Gyeong-su will take Myung-gi and Min-su to another part of the mall to look around while Se-mi stays with Thanos and Nam-gyu.

•Out of the four, Myung-gi is the only one who doesn’t believe that the Easter Bunny is real and he’s so mean about it. He’s constantly telling Thanos and Nam-gyu that he’s not real, especially if they make him mad or are annoying him. He doesn’t say anything to Min-su though, since he gets along with him.

•Nam-gyu loves those big chocolate bunnies and can and will eat the whole thing in one sitting. He hides while eating it because Se-mi and Gyeong-su told him to not eat the whole thing at once because he’ll feel sick. They always know when he did, due to the fact that he’ll go over to them while whining about having a stomach ache.

•Thanos only eats sweet baked goods and candy through the day. He refuses to eat anything else, so much like Nam-gyu, he also ends up feeling sick by the end of the day and will just curl up on the couch and whine about not feeling good.

•Min-su has a bunny onesie that he always wears the night before Easter and will continue to wear all throughout Easter day as well. Myung-gi was so jealous of the onesie since he loves bunnies, so now he has the same one so they can both match.

Newborn Regressor! Thanos w/ Caregiver! Nam-gyu Headcanons

•Thanos doesn’t regress back to the state of a newborn very often, but when he does, Nam-gyu always has his hands completely full with him.

•Thanos is very needing and completely dependent on Nam-gyu, which is to be expected when he’s this little, but it’s to the point where Nam-gyu can’t leave him alone and Thanos has to be taken everywhere he goes. Otherwise, he’ll wail.

•Nam-gyu is always cuddling him and lying down with him. They don’t leave the room very often, due to Thanos being really jumpy. Pretty much everything startles him to the point where he just starts screaming and it takes so long to calm him down.

•Adding onto that, Thanos typically loves loud noises when he’s regressed, but when he’s newborn regressed, he can’t stand it. Loud noises terrify him, he’ll sob and tremble over any kind of noise really. Because of that, Nam-gyu makes sure the bedroom stays nice and quiet. He’ll usually have a soft lullaby playing quietly in the background too, since Thanos does like that.

•If Nam-gyu has to do something, he’ll put Thanos on his stomach and lay him down on a blanket. It’s not Thanos’ favorite thing ever, but as long as he can see Nam-gyu then he tolerates it. Unless he’s been particularly fussy that day, then he’ll just whine and cry until he’s picked up.

•Thanos loves bubble baths and it’s like the only thing that completely settles him down. Nam-gyu often gets in the bath with him too, just because Thanos loves to lay against him while being in the warm water. Basically 99% of the time, both of them are in their swim shorts (or at least Nam-gyu is) and just sitting in the warm water. If Thanos actually has to be bathed, then Nam-gyu typically won’t get in the tub with him.

•Thanos scream cries when he’s tired because he doesn’t understand that he can just close his eyes and fall asleep. It’s like an hour of him crying because he’s exhausted but doesn’t know how to deal with the feeling, while Nam-gyu rocks him and tries to bottle feed him or give him his pacifier.

•Nighttime is really difficult because Thanos does not sleep through the night at all. He wakes up every 2-3 hours, sometimes every 1-2 hours if he’s having a bad night. He’s constantly needing to be fed, changed, rocked, etc. Nam-gyu is always so tired in the morning, but luckily Thanos does take long naps if he’s still regressed that little, so Nam-gyu always naps with him.

•Nam-gyu often has to put mittens on Thanos because Thanos loves touching his face or keeping his hands near his face, which always ends with him crying because he’s scratching his face and he doesn’t understand that he’s doing it to himself.

•Thanos also likes to grab and pull Nam-gyu’s hair when he’s feeling playful, so that’s another reason why he needs mittens. Nam-gyu knows he’s only trying to play and that he’s curious, but he also doesn’t like getting his hair almost ripped out by Thanos.

•Thanos sometimes suckles on Nam-gyu’s fingers or on his collarbone during skin to skin contact because it’s really comforting for him, it gives him a feeling of safety. Nam-gyu always lets him, it doesn’t bother him in the slightest.

Regressor! Nam-gyu w/ Caregiver! Thanos

Summary: Nam-gyu’s fussy after waking up from a nap and wants something, but Thanos has a hard time figuring out what he wants, due to Nam-gyu being regressed so little that he can’t communicate his wants besides from whining and crying at him.

Contains: Age regression, crying, bottles, toys, pacifiers, stuffed animals.

Little!Neteyam Sully and Cg!Aonung thoughts

ꕀI feel like Neteyam would be very secretive with his regression at first not wanting to let his guard down especially not around Aonung

ꕀMaybe they get closer after the events of atwow (In an au where Neteyam survives ofc)

ꕀNeteyam is just on edge and stressed after all that happened to him

ꕀAonung offering a safe place for Neteyam to vent and their bond getting stronger after that

ꕀNeteyam wouldnt be so difficult to care for mostly because he tries not to be not wanting to seem like to much

ꕀMost of their time consists of quiet or parallel play of sorts

ꕀNeteyam and Aonung walking on the shore collecting seashells on a little vase

ꕀNeteyam drawing on the sand while Aonung is just a few meters away basking in the sun

ꕀThem taking naps together under the sun

ꕀBut there are moments where Neteyam need a bit more support and attention

ꕀPoor boy having night terrors of the events and getting out of the family pod trying to calm himself down nibbling on the tip of his thumb in an attempt to self soothe

ꕀAonung sees a figure on the distance and quickly recognizes the shape of the omatikaya boy and going up to him

ꕀSeeing the state that he’s in he quickly puts a hand on his back and guides them both to a more secluded space near the sea

ꕀAonung doesnt try to make Neteyam talk instead he just starts rubbing circles on his back while talking to him about the sea creatures,telling him about his day and that seems to calm the boy

ꕀNeteyam just get closer eventually laying his head on Aonung’s shoulder and drifting off for a bit

ꕀThey dont really talk about their dynamic but its something they both appreciate about each other

This are thoughts about the beginning of their whole dynamic so maybe ill expand more on the future to include the rest of the kids and adults!!

And dive deeper into their relationship

Cradled in the sea

Aonung had his whole day planned first he was going to get his bag ready with all his essentials then he was going to pick up Neteyam and have a beach day with his boy

Aonung’ pov

8:30am

Aonung's alarm started ringing as he groaned while sitting on his bed, looking at his phone. A calendar notification appeared, "Beach Day with Teyam," lighting up the screen and reminding him of the day ahead, so he stood up and headed to the bathroom to get everything ready.

Just as he came out of the bathroom, he remembered that he needed to pack his bag with everything he or Neteyam might need throughout the day.

After finishing packing he got out of his family pod and started heading towars the sully’s pod excited thinking about how he was going to spend the day with his little Neteyam.

Neteyam’s pov

8:35am

He took a bath, brushed his teeth, and was now having breakfast with his younger siblings . Lo'ak was talking about how he was going to visit Payakan, Kiri was talking about spending the day with Tsireya, but to be honest, he wasn't paying much attention, thinking about how Aonung was supposed to pick him today, and that made his stomach turn,not because he didn't wanna see Aonung, he just felt under the weather and didn't want to disappoint Aonung with his attitude.

he quickly snapped out of his thoughts when Lo'ak pinched his side “Bro are you even listening?”

“Yeah,sorry Lo” he answered

Suddenly he heared footsteps behind him turning around seeing Aonung standing there with his usual confident,cocky smirk “Hey Teyam, you ready to go?” He questioned

No specific pov

Neteyam quickly nodded and excused from the table, not before saying goodbye to his parents. The walk to the beach was awfully quiet. Neteyam looked at the horizon and then quickly at his feet, kicking the sand a little. Aonung stared at him and grabbed his hand. "What's wrong, Neteyam is something's going on in that little brain of yours, huh?" Neteyam glanced quickly at Aonung, a slight blush creeping up onto his face. He shook his head and mumbled, "nuthings wrong." Aonung quickly recognized that the boy was probably regressing and decided not to push it any further. He simply placed a hand on Neteyam's lower back, guiding them both towards their secret spot.

“Here we are, just give me a few minutes to get everything ready, you can go to the shore, but remember only getting your feet wet and not go any further, okay?” He said as he placed the bag on the sand and took out the towels. Neteyam nodded and went to the shore, kneeling down to drag his fingers through the water, wriggling his feet until they were buried under the wet sand.

Aonung quickly set everything up and, before heading towards Neteyam, he grabbed the sunscreen. He walked towards Neteyam, appreciating how focused the boy looked as he played with the water. He knelt behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder to get his attention. "Hey bud, I know you're having fun, but we need to put on sunscreen," he said as he squeezed the tube and scooped the product onto his fingers.

Neteyam simply turned to face him and closed his eyes to let Aonung apply the sunscreen properly. After finishing, Aonung simply tossed the tube toward their things not bothering to walk over again and turned back to Neteyam, still seeing him looking a little unmotivated. An idea popped into his head"Teyam, baby, look at me, do you want to go swimming?" Aonung questioned, rubbing Neteyam's cheek with his thumb.

Neteyam's ears perked up at this, and he looked at Aonung, nodding, "Okay, baby, come here." Aonung offered Neteyam a hand, which ne gladly accepted, letting himself to be guided deeper into the sea.

When they reached a certain point, Aonung suddenly stopped and Neteyam looked at him confused, but Aonung seemed to be fine so he wasn't worried.

“Come here” Aonung lifted Neteyam under the water and placed one hand on his chest and the other on his lower stomach so that he would be in a swimming position.

Aonung began moving Neteyam in the water, pretending he was swimming. Neteyam just giggled as he gently kicked his feet to "swim" faster, and Aonung simple obliged moving faster faster.

Aonung loved the little moments like this were Neteyams giggles filled the air looking so happy and carefree he wished his little boy didnt have it so hard and the he could just keep him happy at all times but for now he could only focus on the present and make his little “swimmer” enjoy the day

“Look at my little fish traveling through the dangerous ocean” he said as he kissed the top of Neteyams head

They kept this up for a while Aonung holding Neteyam pretending he was the best swimmer of the whole reef making the little boy erupt in laughter

It was getting late now the colors in the sky shifting to warmer/darker tones and as Aonung was humming a song still holding Neteyam he noticed how the boy yawned and how his eyes started to drop so finally shifted his position to one where he was sort of cradling him under the water “did you have fun my little fish?” He said as he moved a few strands of wet hair out of the boys forehead Neteyam didnt answer he just curled further into the metkatina boy seeking for warmth

Aonung decided to get out of the water still holding him and took Neteyam to their towels that were laid in the sand

He laid Neteyam in one of the towels the omatikaya boy quickly whining but Aonung was quick to react and gave him his pacifier also taking out the boys favorite blanket and covering him

Aonung’s pov

I started looking throughout the bag i grabbed my hair clip and quickly put my hair into a bun then i looked for Neteyams sippy quickly finding and making a bottle for my sweet boy he looked so peaceful laying there nearly asleep but he hadnt had anything since our quick sandwich lunch so he needed to take this bottle

I put my hands under his armpits and lift him up so that he’s cradled against my chest he protests a bit but calms down when I start humming a tune to him

I take the pacifier and quickly replace it with the nip of the bottle quickly adjusting my posture so that were both comfortable he finally latches onto it and closes his eyes.

“I love you Neteyam” Aonung says before drifting off himself.

Cw: queer guilt mentioned (very little, only really referenced) / eating avoidance

The sky was beginning to slowly light up as the freezing cold air that was natural from the mornings in Brokeback began to sway away, the signs from the day starting were approaching surely, and Ennis could sense it immediately as he was the one who always woke up first between him and Jack.

He let out a quiet hum as he woke up, intending to stay quiet enough to not wake up the man beside him.

“Better to not be a bother” he thought as he rubbed his eyes with his hands, still pretty tired after all the work he had to do yesterday, he wished he could have just one day away from all of this, with Jack of course, but the money was a good enough reason to not complain to anyone about it.

He felt as if something was a little off this morning, he couldn’t quite put his finger on it yet but it definitely felt familiar to him, maybe his lack of sleep was finally getting to him, or maybe he was just tired from all the work he had to yesterday, one thing he knew: he didn’t like it, and he wished this sensation could stop, and he also wished Jack was awake, so he didn’t have to do with the guilt alone.

Anxiety was running through the cowboy’s veins, an usual occurrence for Ennis as most of the time he got too deep into his thoughts and they ate his mind away, still, he preferred to stay quiet about the problems in his head and not having to share much details about his life to anyone, only thing is that he wasn’t with anyone right now, quite the contrary; he was with the only person who he actually managed to share his thoughts with, the man who he trusted the most Jack Twist

He thought about the night prior and how he hugged Jack in his sleep, he never said anything about it because of how embarrassed he was to even realize the action, but he couldn’t help himself around Jack, he loved him, and oh god how much he wished he was awake right now..

He kept looking at Jack’s face, not thinking much now, the anxiety was still there, but it was starting to become replaced by something else, some strange fuzziness affecting his brain and making him want to do one thing and one thing only: wake up Jack, and cling onto him just as he dreamt to do every night they slept in different tents.

Ennis wasn’t thinking straight anymore, or he wasn’t thinking at all, he could barely get himself to question what he was doing as he put one of his right hand on Jack’s shoulder, shaking him ever so slightly.

he put his left thumb on his mouth as he started to chew on the skin next to his nail, he was nervous, anxious, but most importantly: very needy, he wanted Jack right now, and that was the only thing his mind could focus on, even if he was scared of making him angry…

angry

As Ennis kept shaking Jack’s shoulder slowly he began opening his eyelids and he changed his position while still mostly unconscious, he looked to his side and noticed Ennis before doing a big yawn and then he began staring at the cowboy, intrigued by the reason he had woken him up.

Ennis was shaking, his little mind was in fear as he remembered almost vividly how his father yelled at him whenever he woke him up for whatever reason it was, what if Jack was gonna react the same way? What if he was mad at him? What if he yelled?

“Mornin’” said Jack with a slightly more deep voice than usual, product of the fact he had just woken up.

“We.. gotta go to the sheep yet? Or why’d you wake me up?” He asked while looking at Ennis with a tired and confused look, he was starting to notice the strange behavior in the man, but he didn’t wanna brought it up just yet.

“N-no..” Ennis managed to mumble, Jack didn’t seem mad, but he couldn’t just trust blindly in anyone, and he was still involuntary shaking along with his voice.

“Ennis, you’re shaking.. catch a cold or somethin’?” Jack asked with concern, which made Ennis quickly shook his head at Jack’s question, he wasn’t sick, he just.. needed him.

Jack stared at Ennis for a few seconds, he knew what it was, or at least he was pretty sure he knew, he just needed confirmation in his theory, so he moved himself closer to Ennis as they both laid together on the tent.

“Not feelin’ too big, are we little lamb?” He asked with a little smirk in his face, he liked comforting Ennis of course, but a little tease here and there was never wrong in the eyes of the playful cowboy.

Ennis’s cheeks quickly turned a light red color as he started looking at the ground, starting to chew on his thumb again, he was so embarrassed anytime Jack teased him, and he knew it well.

Jack took the finger out of Ennis’s mouth out of instinct and he chuckled quietly as he shook his head in disapproval.

“C’mon now.. you can hurt yourself like this little lamb; dada doesn’t wanna see you hurt”

Ennis grumbled a little to himself, but at this point he couldn’t hide his tiredness anymore, and his regression wasn’t helping at all as he got closer to Jack and put his head on his shoulder. He felt so exhausted, he just wanted to be held by Jack for a moment, maybe even forever~

“My poor boy… you woke up dada ‘cause you wanted to cling to him, hmm” he muttered as he put his arms around Ennis.

Ennis only made quiet and small noises as he kept his head on Jack’s shoulder; he didn’t say more than two words whenever he felt like this, whenever he felt this little.

It felt so cozy whenever he slipped and Jack was around him to take care of him; he loved it, and he loved his papa.

After a few minutes in the same position, Jack slowly unwrapped his arms, taking them away from Ennis’s body, which earned him a pitiful whine from the regressed cowboy.

Jack chuckled at the small whine before speaking.

“C’mon little lamb… I still got work to do… How about you help me out looking over the sheep and makin’ sure they are well fed while I herd them with the puppies, hm?”

Ennis huffed quietly, he really didn’t wanna let go of the position he was in right now.. but he also wanted to make his papa happy and be good for him so he resigned himself to give a slow nod as he slowly got his head out of his dada’s shoulder.

Jack slowly stood up, his body was still tired from all the work he had to do yesterday.

“Come now, we’ll ride on my horse, little lamb” Jack smiled as he looked down at Ennis before ruffling his already messy hair

Ennis looked at Jack sheepishly, and Jack knew well what that look meant: fear, after seeing Ennis like this a few times already it was obvious that Ennis tended to fear animals at first, but Jack was gonna make sure he felt comfortable with all the animals they were gonna see today

“Would be cute if I saw him feed some sheep” Jack thought as he looked at the now even more shy Ennis waiting for Jack’s next move.

“C’mon.. horse won’t do nothin’ to ya, he a real good boy, you’ll see” he said with a smile, and he grabbed Ennis’s hand and helped him get up.

Ennis held onto Jack’s hand tightly, not wanting to ever let go as Jack guided then over next to the horse, but before they could Jack looked at Ennis with a worried look

“Did you eat something before I woke up, little lamb?” Jack asked with genuine concern, he knew about Ennis’s bad habits and how they tended to get worse when he regressed

Ennis stood quiet for as long as he could, his eyes darting at the floor because he didn’t want to have a look at Jack’s face, he was too embarrassed to admit anything

“I’ll take that as a no…” Jack sighed, he wasn’t upset or mad, but he was definitely worried about Ennis

“C’mon, dada can do something for you really quick-“

“N-no” Ennis managed tu mumbled, leaving Jack surprised, getting the blonde cowboy to talk while regressing was almost impossible, but he also rarely got to see Ennis not listening to him when he was.. misbehaving even

“My sweet lamb, you know dada only wants you to eat because he wants you to grow big and healthy just like him.. now c’mon..”

“No” Ennis muttered again, he had a slightly defiant look in his face, but it was still a embarrassed one after all.

Jack sighed, even thought Ennis had always behaved perfectly when he was like this it was no surprise that toddlers and babies had their bad days, where they misbehave or throw tantrums, he wanted to keep insisting with Ennis until he gave up, but he knew it was getting late and he knew the sheep were unsupervised right now.

“When we come back I’m makin’ you eat somethin’ little lamb” Jack said softly, but his voice carried a more strong demeanor to it this time, Jack worried a lot about Ennis’s wellbeing, and he was gonna make sure he didn’t get sick or worse by avoiding his needs so much.

Ennis just stood there quietly while Jack checked on the horses in detail, he was a little scared of making his dada mad, he couldn’t lie about it.. but in his mind and in his stomach eating beans sounded worse than anything on the world right now, and the sole thought of having to actually eat them was getting him genuinely upset.

“I’ll help ya up the ho’sie sweetheart” Jack said as he looked over at Ennis’s worried expression

“He doesn’t bite my boy.. I promise, he is a good boy, just like you are” Jack smiled and gently patted the horse’s head

“See? Nothing to fear here, little lamb”

Ennis seemed reluctant, he didn’t trust the horse completely, but someone he did trust was Jack so he eventually nodded while he closed his eyes, letting Jack do what he had to.

He got a hold of Ennis’s waist carefully and he used his strength to help him on the back of the horse, smiling as he saw that Ennis was now secured in the back, before getting in the front himself.

“Grab a hold of me boy, put your arms around dada’s body and we will go over to see the cute sheep” he stated

Ennis listened carefully, and got a tight grip on Jack’s body as he started to ride his horse, leading them both over to the place where the sheep were.

Jack smiled all the way there, happy that Ennis was slowly getting more comfortable sharing the little side of him, he was still embarrassed, but he managed to not blush all the time because of it, and that was progress.

As they rode together Jack smirked

“You see the sheep, kiddo?” He asked

Ennis nodded enthusiastically

dogs, horses, cows, (…) they were all animals that scared him a little while he was regressed, and he always kept an eye on them to make sure they wouldn’t “try to eat him” but with sheep Ennis was different, he found himself at peace with them and loved petting their fluffy hair, this was something Jack was certainly aware of, so he hoped that Ennis would enjoy doing this activity again while he actually managed to herd them.

“Well, we’re here lambie” Jack announced, getting himself down and then helping Ennis to do this as well.

The sheep were seconds away from Ennis now, and he couldn’t hide his excitement at all, his eyes were shining bright and he had a small smile in his face.

“Someone is excited to see the sheep, isn’t he?” He teased, enjoying seeing Ennis like this, a smile on his face was a rare sight for sure.

Ennis blushed but only for a moment before getting his eyes back on the sheep, he couldn’t wait to play with them, that if his dada allowed it of course.

The blonde cowboy pulled on Jack’s coat, letting him know that he wanted his attention right now.

“Yes, little lamb?” He asked softly

“..mmh..” he pointed to the sheep and mumbled

“You wanna go play with ‘em don’t ya” Jack chuckled

“S-sheep” Ennis mumbled with a little effort, he really really liked them

Jack eyes widened in surprise as he heard the word come out of Ennis’s mouth, it was a challenge to even hear him say yes or no, and he was saying the name of an animal now, Jack felt like a proud father now

“That’s right! The sheep.. you said it so well little lamb, of course you can go play with them!” He smiled as he patted Ennis’s head

Ennis smiled at Jack and slowly walked over to the sheep with a smile on his face, a little shy at first of course, he said hi to them with a small wave from his right hand and he went on to pet as many sheep as he could, giggling and muttering as he kept going, it was truly a sight to behold, and the one who was enjoying it the most was Jack.

Ennis came back a few seconds later, looking at Jack and then pointing to the river that was nearby and then the sheep, his way of saying “they’re thirsty”

Jack nodded, understanding what Ennis wanted to do perfectly as he got the dogs to guide the sheep to the water nearby, Ennis smiled at the sight, glad that their little companions were getting what they needed.

Seeing his little boy calm like this brought a sense of relief to him, and he couldn’t help but get infected by Ennis’s smile
