#age regression voltron

[0bviouslyem1ly]

Caregiver Shiro Headcanons 🤍

& The Voltron team

(This is based on season 1 because I'm only on season 1...)

•He's a very gentle and kind caregiver, but he can be a bit stern at times.

•He was probably the first to know about your regression, whether you came to him and told him about, or he found out for himself. Either way, he'd talk to you about it in a very calm and soft spoken voice, knowing how vulnerable and scary it can be to talk about.

•The first time you allow yourself to regress around him, he felt bad that you didn't have any comfort items. Being up in space, there isn't anything there for you. No stuffed animals, no pacifier, bottles, nothing. He wishes he could provide those things for you (if you wanted), and felt horrible that he couldn't.

•He carries you around everywhere. (If you're okay with it, of course) If the others don't know about your regression, he'll be sure to not tell anyone unless you're comfortable. He won't talk about it out loud, or treat you that way around them, unless you're fully okay with it.

•If the others do learn that you're an age regressor, they will all try their best to help out. Hunk will make you special meals and snacks with whatever ingredients he does have, Pidge will tell you stories and help you go to sleep at night. Keith is more neutral about it, and doesn't really know how to help you. He definitely is more protective of you, now that he knows. Lance is... Well, Lance. He doesn't fully understand age regression, despite Shiro explaining it to him. He may tease you a bit, but the others definitely won't let that happen for long.

•Shiro always praises you and gives you lots of reassurance. He always lets you know how much he cares about you, how amazing and adorable you are, and that everything will be okay as long as he's there.

•Despite not enjoying when the others slack off on training, if you ever regress during or before training, he will try his best to convince Allura that you shouldn't train today. He wants your safe place to stay a safe place, and he will do everything he can to protect it.

•He tries his best to keep you regressed without any TV, games, toys, ect. He really wants you to be able to feel small and happy, especially with the stress of fighting and training all the time.

•He doesn't usually call you by nicknames, but sometimes he'd call you "sweetheart/sweetie" or "little one".

•The others all try to help out and take care of you throughout the day. Shiro doesn't always trust them, so he normally watches them and makes sure they're taking care of you properly, and that nothing happens. He's very overprotective, but doesn't necessarily show it.

Plot Summary

Keith learns about age regression.

❀•°•═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════•°•❀

Keith woke up alone. The bed felt really cold. his head pounded from how hard he had been crying the night before. He would've swore he wasn't alone the night before. He wasn't really sure. He rubbed his eyes and pulled his pillow to his chest. He laid practically on it, hugging it and finding comfort in the position. He knew he really should get up, but his excuse is that he didn't feel well. Not that it's a lie regardless. Keith really wasn't feeling well, aside from his head his stomach was upset and his body ached. He needed rest if it was possible.

He slowly closed his eyes again. They felt too heavy to keep open any more. The door to the bathroom opened suddenly, making him hump in response. He peeled opened his eyes and looked over to see Lance. So he didn't dream that he was there, not that he hasn't before. God's he's not making any of this better at all is he.

" Morning, you sleep okay? " Lance spoke up.

He didn't really understand why he suddenly cared for him. Didn't Lance hate him? He rubbed his eyes with his sleeves and rolled over to his other side. He wasn't sure if he really was fully out of the fuzzy mind space or not. He wondered if it was normal. At least Lance didn't bully or hate him for it like he thought he would.

" Okay.. I'll just assume you did sleep okay. Are you okay? You still feeling fuzzy at all? "

" Kinda, I don't know, " Keith finally responded.

It felt like ripping off a bandage. He didn't remember it being so hard to talk. Maybe he really was still all fuzzy. He felt the bed dip near his feet. It caused him to pull his legs up to his chest. He assumed Lance sat on the bed, but he didn't dare to look.

" Hey, Keith can we talk about this? Please. I know you feel terrible, but it isn't like that, just let me help you okay? "

" Why do you care? Why the hell do you want to help me? Aren't I your rival or some stupid thing? " Keith huffed out before Lance could ramble any further.

Lance sighed softly.

" Okay, okay. That's fair, but this is different. I know what's going on with you and I want to help. I don't joke around when it comes to mental health, okay? " he explained in the best way he could.

Keith gave in. He slowly sat up, causing his head to pound harder. He let out an unconscious whimper and pressed the pillow to his chest. He say criss cross while he waited for his vision to clear. He still didn't pick up his head either. He just sat there and stared at the bed.

" Poor thing, you've got a headache huh? "

" Don't pitty me you ass, " he shot back.

Lance laughed. Honestly, it made him smile. He wasn't sure why, but the noise simply cause him to smile.

" Ah, there's your smile. Looks weird on you, " he teased.

Keith pouted.

" Okay okay, let me explain everything, okay? "

He nodded and waited patiently.

-

Lance wasn't entirely sure how to word all of this to the hot headed boy. At first he had thought he had always known about regression, but the more he thought about it the more he began to realize it had only just started happening because of all this and the war. It made his heart ache for the other. He simply wanted to scoop him up and cuddle him, baby him even.

" What you experience is called age regression, " Lance finally spoke up.

Keith gave a confused expression to the words. He's never heard of it. Then again, he didn't really have internet back on earth, not much for long anyways.

" It's where your mind psychologically regresses to a point in your life you felt more safe, " he explained, watching as Keith took it all in.

" But why? " the smaller bit questioned as he pulled a pillow into his lap.

Lance had chosen to sit on the floor in front of Keith. Keith on the other hand still hasn't removed himself from the bed. Lance didn't mind either, he could tell how much he enjoyed his bed anyways. He found it cute even.

" Usually because if trauma, but sometimes stress or just for fun, " he answered.

He watched as Keith tensed awkward on the bed. It hurt him seeing him react to a word like trauma. He couldn't help but wonder what all has the boy Ben through? What in the hell did life throw at him and make him go through? He couldn't help but fidget with his hands. Lance wanted to ask, but he also didn't want to push. He didn't like it when others pushed into his past or business, so he shouldn't do it to others.

" Okay, " Keith finally whispered out.

" And, there's people who sometimes help people who regress out. Like caretakers, or parental figures. "

" You're one of them? " Keith assumed right off the bat.

Lance had to admit it caught him off guard. However, he still nodded and continued.

" Yeah, that's how I know so much about it. I used to have a little at home, though we cut things off a few days before we left earth, " Lance told him honestly.

" Why? " Keith asked in almost a child like manor.

It made Lance smile. He knew all this talk about his headspace was making him slip. Either because he's uncomfortable or because it was making him comfortable knowing he wasn't the only one. He really hoped that Keith would allow him to care for him, even as a babysitter. However, he knew with all the rivalry stuff it was really unlikely.

" She was sexualizing herself and me, it was making me uncomfortable and I finally had snapped, " Lance admitted as his gaze turned towards his hands.

He stayed there for awhile until he felt warm arms wrap around him and hug him. Lance hadn't even notice Keith leaving the bed. He smiled and wrapped his arms around him. He knew big Keith wouldn't ever do this, so he figured he slipped by now. Maybe he should make a name for little Keith, it would be cute.

" 'm sorry, " Keith muffled out into his shoulder.

He smiled and rubbed his back, carefully slipping the smaller into his lap so he could cuddle him better. He rocked him back and forth slowly, stimming from his own happiness honestly. Though it worked out, as he could feel Keith melting into his touch.

" I know little one, but it isn't your fault, " he reassured.

" Do you want to go get breakfast? Or I can bring it here, " he offered a few minutes later.

" I don want thems to sees, " Keith mumbled with a noticeable pout.

" That's okay, I understand. Let's just stay like this for a little longer then I'll go get breakfast, okay? "

" Yes pleases, " the smaller responded fairly quickly.

Keith warmed Lance's heart. It reminded him so much why he liked him, more than just some kind of friend. He fell in love with little Keith the moment he saw him, he can admit that much. However, he always seemed to how feelings for Keith in general. He just didn't know how to admit them.

Lance had left Keith alone for the time being, mostly just to go and get them breakfast. He wished he had some little gear for Keith to use. Did he forget to mention how cute he is? He's adorable, extremely adorable. Given how much of a bundle of anger he normally was, it was so adorable to see him like this. He wouldn't even think of teasing him for it either and he knew at least Pidge and Hunk wouldn't either. He sighed heavily from the thoughts that ran through his head. He wished he knew how to control them, maybe so they wouldn't be so loud and focus on one thing. He's worried about many things, all surrounding around Keith. Lance wanted to be able to protect his little space, but he wasn't sure how hard it would be with the fact they are at war hanging over their heads.

He shoved open the doors to the kitchen, seeing Hunk happily cooking away. However the affectionate male seemed to notice Lance's strange behavior. He was still trying to make breakfast for the team, not that it was strange. They've all grown used to Hunk making most of the meals.

" You alright Lance? " Hunk asked, catching him a bit off guard. He about dropped the food goo he had in his hands.

" Yes! I'm fine- sorry, half asleep, " he apologized nervously.

Hunk raised an eyebrow at the paladin. However, he signed in defeat and nodded. Quite a few of the paladins are rather drained from missions lately so it wasn't difficult to understand. Lance finished getting the food for himself and Keith. He made sure to let Hunk know that they wouldn't be coming for breakfast. Lance simply made an excuse that they planned on training all day. It seemed to work well enough, so he scrambled off towards Keith's room once more. He found himself getting impatient, so he ended up running down the hallway. His shoes slid across the floor as he attempted to stop at the door. He managed to slide right past it. It didn't stop him though. He gained his balance and managed to get into the bedroom before he fell again. He blamed his lanky legs.

" I'm back little one, " he panted as he looked around the room for the little.

Lance spotted Keith looking out the window and rocking back and forth calmly. He assumed it was some sort of comfort thing. He really wasn't sure honestly.

" Baby boy, " Lance sang as he sat in front of the bed in the floor.

The pet name instantly grabbed the littles attention. He got up and carefully waddled over to him. He almost tripped a few times as he made his way over. Keith plopped down right next to him, thumb in mouth and a tired expression.

" Do you need me to feed you? "

Keith nodded hesitantly. The downside of his headspace was he regressed so young, especially from impure regression. He cuddled into his side and curled up again Lance. It made the caregiver smile. However, before he even could feed the little the alarms began to go off.

[cotyledon8]

Caregiver shiro please ?

( wasn’t sure if you meant fic or headcanons, but the cg!shiro fic is a wip still so have some headcanons )

🧁 caregiver shiro headcanons!

→ he manages to have mastered the perfect balance of soft enough to not be scary, and to be comforting instead, and firm enough that there isn’t any chance for any meltdowns or tantrums to even begin to form. he’s amazingly good at calming down conflicts and reaching compromises; whether it’s what toys to play with, or having to to things like clean said toys up.

→ a pro at deciphering mumbles and half-sentences. he somehow just knows how to best comfort his regressor. one of his favourite things is the texts he gets sent from his regressors, that are just half-strung together sentences and emojis; it was endlessly cute. Similarity, he’s so good at knowing exactly what the drawing that’s been handed to him is, even if it’s just a few circles and some stars.

→ he has the best reading voice, he does entire voices and actions and it just delights sleepy babies. he makes everything sound exciting. he can just tell stories he comes up with on the spot for hours, it comes in incredibly handy when handling things like bedtime refusal and nightmares.

→ it’s impossible to slip things past him. he always finds out about it at some point. whether it’s breaking rules, or avoiding water/eating/sleeping. he’s always so gentle about his reprimanding to, keeping an even tone throughout everything. it’s incredibly safe, even while being told off.

→ loves cooking for his regressor, he loves it in general so it is no surprise that the kids are being spoiled with pancakes and waffles and pasta dishes. it’s one of his favourite things and his food somehow always ends up sleepy afterwards; it’s some sort of talent. subsequently, baking is one of the activities together that happens the most; cookies, cupcakes, cakes, etc. they make, and eat, it all.

→ he gives the most amazing hugs, the time in the gym and working really does pay off when the hugs are as tight and comforting as they were. it’s the perfect level of grounding needed during any anxious, or post-nightmare moments.

Plot Summary

Despite not being out of headspace fully, Keith is thrown into combat. He does his best, but the mission goes wrong. He blames himself while Lance panics over loosing Keith.

❀•°•═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════•°•❀

Keith had began to run down the hallway to his lion. Lance tried his best to pull him out of little space, however he was scared he still was too close to the headspace to be in this battle. He wished he could have someone else fly the red lion, but currently he couldn't. He had to just pray and think big thoughts. That's normally what worked for him. He slid down the slide right into red. The seat pulled into place and everything began to light up. The second the lion rawred he took off. He quickly caught up with the rest of the team, listening to them, mostly Shiro, scold him for taking so long.

" You took forever Keith! What's wrong with you? "

" Nothing, I'm just a little sick is all, " Keith gave the excuse quickly as he took off towards the battle.

" That's not a reasonable excuse Keith, we are at war, " Allura proceeded to scold the smaller.

He felt so close to tears. His eyes were starting to burn. He felt like every time he came onto the field that everything he did was just a huge mess up. He nodded slowly before focusing onto the fight. The more Keith had the more his mind forgot about what was upsetting him. The team formed voltron and continued to fight. He felt like he was in the clear of his little space until the team had been hit hard. The power of the castle had gone out and even voltron broke apart and the lions went offline. Most of the team was knocked out.

***

Keith was the first to wake up. He slowly blinked his eyes open and watched ress lights flickered on. He looked over to the castle that now had power again. His eyes scanned over to the other lions. He was panicking. This is his fault, isn't it? He was late, he rarely went to team training, he always ran away from meetings, he barely was even close to the rest of the team. Wow, this really was his fault. He took off his helmet as tears fell from his eyes. He couldn't help but start to cry as he was yanked right into little space.

He tried to get the teams attention, yelling and screaming, but eventually gave up. None of the other lions had turned on, so he figured their pilots are still out cold. The fleet that had attacked them were long gone by now. He hoped everyone was okay. He tried to make a private channel with Lance, and the blue lion. He tried over and over until suddenly the blue lion turned on and it connected. His eyes lit up, though he couldn't help but cry at seeing the barely conscious Lance. At least he is okay, that is all he could ever ask for.

" Daddy? " he cried.

" Please.. " he whimpered and pulled his legs up to his chest, hugging them close.

He buried his face into his knees and cried. His body trembling from how much he was crying. He just wanted this to be over. He wanted to go back to bed and curl up and sleep forever.

The intercoms crackled and popped. Static filled Keith's ears, but it only made him slip further. He felt so scared. He failed, didn't he? He failed as a paladin. He wasn't sure why he thought he could do this with his strange younger headspace, let alone being so close to it like he was. 

" Keith?? Baby?" 

The little jumped slightly at the voice he craved so much. He looked around before seeing Lance's face pop up on the fuzzy screen in front of him. Keith sobbed and made grabby hands towards Lance, watching as the taller cried back. He wasn't sure if either of them were crying from relief, or from worry. 

" Baby! Are you okay?? Can you take red back to the castle?" 

Keith shook his head and hiccuped fairly hard. He didn't think he was in a big enough headspace to take red back to the castle. He watched Lance nod and think with this panicked expression. It was all his fault he was like this, he knew that. He couldn't shake the thoughts going through his head either. He couldn't stop blaming himself. Then again, if he had acted his own age this wouldn't have been an issue. Voltron wouldn't have failed if it weren't for him. 

" Can you ask red to take you back?" Lance suggested. 

He hadn't thought about that. He sniffled and wiped his face with his arms. He hiccuped and shifted in his seat, sitting more properly now. 

" That's it little one, I'll be right here. " 

He nodded and closed his eyes. He focused on his connection with red, then asked if she could take him home. It wasn't difficult. He heard her purr soothingly towards him, calming him down in a way he wasn't sure why it worked. Maybe because his mother was able to purr? Actually, Keith wasn't even sure how he remembered that either. He opened his eyes and watched as Red took them both back to the castle. 

" I'll be there as soon as I can bubs, I promise," Lance reassured. 

Keith nodded more, hiccuping, though calmer. He curled up in his seat, watching as the image of Lance faded away. He wanted him back. He felt safer being able to hear him there. It made him so happy. He buried his face into his knees, listening as the lion purred in a parental way towards him. He could feel shifts and movements as Red took them back, but none was enough for him to lift his head from his spot.

-

The second blue landed Lance darted from the lion and down the hallways. His shoes slid across the cleaned floors, tripping him a few times. He darted by Hunk and Pidge, not even giving them a glance or returning the greetings that they offered. There wasn't a point. He was too distracted with the safety of his little. Well, they weren't really official. More babysitter title for Lance, but it didn't matter. He loved that he had a little again. He missed it so much, like a craving to hold and care for someone. He knew it had gotten bad when he tried to care for the other paladins and got these strange looks in response to it. He scanned his hand and watched the doors slide open to the large room that the red lion was kept in. He rushed himself to the lion, through its mouth and into it. 

" Keith!?" he shouted as he looked around

He yelped as Keith jumped onto him, startling him more than anything. He chuckled and pulled the little up into his arms. He tucked his forearms under Keith and held him against him. He pressed him close to him and squeezed him into his arms. The smaller paladin trembled against him, crying freely and fairly loudly. It broke his heart. He knew he couldn't bring Keith into the hallways like this. It would be impossible to sneak him past the others. He sat down against a wall, gently rocking the smaller back and forth in his arms. He paused after some time and ran his fingers through Keith's messy and long hair. 

" It's okay bubs, I'm here now," he whispered quietly to him. 

Keith nodded, burying his face into Lance's chest more, but he didn't mind it at all. Lance held him closer, tightly. The pressure seemed to work for Keith and help him. He rubbed his back with one hand, his other arm wrapped around Keith's waist and holding him close. He cried and cried, not that Lance could ever blame the little for crying so much. He is scared, he knew that much. He wrapped his arms fully back around him and rested his head on his shoulder. 

" You're safe now, with me, I promise," he reassured. 

He was trying his best, though he knew the others would be looking for the, normally, chaotic pair soon. It was something he was worried about, and that rushed him to calm Keith down. He just hoped he was able to calm him before the rest of the team found them.

Keith felt so terrified. The type if terrified that they didn't know what to do besides crying. He had gotten so scared to the point he thought he really did loose Lance, or the team. He shook and clung to Lance, but the more he cried the more sleepy he felt. A mission is a lot for a little already, and getting beaten as they had didn't help. He slowly was calming down, the need to sleep overpowering his need to sit there and cry until he passed out. Though, it felt like a very good option to the little. It really was not as uncommon as most would think for him to cry himself to sleep. Most nights, it's how he did sleep.

" It's okay baby boy, just get some rest, " Lance would whisper, which didn't help.

His back rubs, soft words, and overly amazing cuddles were so comforting. He's so good at this and, honestly, he kinda hated him for it. Of all people who found out about his regression, why did it have to be this sharp shooting idiot. Keith just buried his face into his chest and curled up. As he began to doze off, Lance carefully scooped him up and carried him on his hip, though he kept his arms tightly wrapped around him to keep him feeling safe. Keith really appreciated it, more than he could really explain even in big space.

He could hear the teams shouting and yelling bouncing around in the halls as the castle was attacked. He truly hoped it wut be okay, though it probably would be. It normally was, right? Lance brought Keith to the mullet heads room and set him down on to the bed. Apart of the little wished he had some sort of little gear, even a stuffed animal would help him truthfully.

" Stay right here, okay? Change too while I'm away baby. I'm gonna get some things for you, " Lance explained, leaving a small kiss on his head before scrambling out of the room.

Keith sat there pouting and sniffling, half asleep too. He tried to get his armor off, but it didn't end well. He was able to get the arms off, but almost fell off the bed trying to get the legs off. He smacked his arm on the bed frame trying to get the chest piece off. So he just sat there and quietly cried until Lance came back. It made him happy to see him back too. The blue paladin looked stressed and worried that something happened, but Keith just gave a hug.

" Helps, pease? " he asked quietly, getting a hesitant Lance nod in response.

As Lance helped with the armor, he looked to see what the taller had brought. It was some clothes to change into, his blanket from his bed, and some sort of strange cow looking thing. It looked soft and squishy, but the little one kept his hands to himself. Lance helped him get dressed and get under the covers before offering the strange cow thing. Keith took it, of course, but he's confused by it.

" It's a cow stuffie. I don't normally use her, so you can, " Lance elaborated with his usual dumb lopsided smile that Keith hated how much he loved.

He nodded and cuddled the stuffie close while Lance went to go change in the bathroom. He sniffled and is surprised that his guess on how soft it was is right. It is a lot more squishy than what he had thought too. He smiled to himself and curled up under the covers, now having two blankets on the bed. It's so warm and toasty, he loves it. When Lance came back, he laid down and cuddled Keith. The little didn't protest, rather, he curled up against the taller males chest. It wasn't even ten minutes before Keith fell asleep there, the soft sound of Lance's humming sending him straight to sleep with his new cow friend in his arms.

“It’s easy to pigeonhole online anti-sex police as being teens and young adults, a.k.a. “puriteens.” Because so much of this comes down to carnal horror, you might assume that everyone who’s horrified is a teen who just hasn’t arrived at a mature view of sex and other adult activity. Such anti-sex zeal increasingly forces sex-positive communities back into the internet’s underground. It also aids and abets the larger cultural shift toward regressive attitudes and censorship of sexual minorities and sex-positive content.

Yet overwhelmingly, the common thread among this new generation of “antis” — a broad label for people who are opposed to sexual content in media — isn’t that they are minors who are scared of sex. It’s that none of them distinguish between fictional harm and real-world harm. That is, regardless of their ages, they believe fiction not only can have a real-world impact, but that it always has a real-world impact.”
