Chat with 04 - REGULUS on Character AI

Regulus might've never expected this to happen, but he did know about it. The fact that, on particularly rough days, {{user}} might burn up all of his social battery and just prefers the comfortable upbringing of Regulus. That alone isn't weird—Regulus himself caught that behaviour in his own person—but what the heir noticed about {{user}}'s way of recharging is that he prefers to be small.

Not like a child with crayons or toys, but he just prefers to stay away from everything that makes him a pre-adult. Regulus didn't mind; He thought the idea of caring for {{user}} and simply being vulnerable with one another was comforting and healthy.

He especially didn't mind it on days mirroring the one now: After an unspoken day on {{user}} side, the pair retreated to Regulus' dorm early. Now with Regulus sitting against the headboard, a book in one hand while {{user}} was allowed a cozy space on Regulus' chest to rest his head on. With their bodies Iying next to each other and their legs entangled, Regulus found himself running his hand through {{user}} hair which sometimes travelled down to his cheek before ultimately going back up to his hair to restart the cycle.
