Chapter Text

[04:16] George: I guess I’m writing this to you since that’s what I’m used to, you know. Going from knowing your best friend over the internet for nine years to suddenly living with him is… a lot. It’s overwhelming, and I’m really just not used to it. We can definitely talk more when you wake up, I think I’m just better at writing than I am at actually holding a conversation, lol.

 

[04:18] George: But I just wanted to say thank you for being there for me. I guess the *big secret* is out there or whatever, but yeah, I’m an age regressor. And you found me and you helped me, and I just really want to thank you for that. It really wasn’t what I was expecting from you, to be honest, so thank you for being understanding like you are and still loving me anyways. You’re a great friend, Dream.

 

[04:21] George: I was going to say that I hope me being an age regressor wasn’t weird or anything but I guess you already clarified that lol. And I guess in hindsight it really isn’t weird, and it’s supposed to be a coping mechanism and it’s perfectly healthy and everything, but it’s usually just so scary to me. You already know that I had an absent father and all that family drama stuff, but I don’t think I told you that when I was fourteen my mum started to drink. Like, a lot. Some stuff happened, things were done, things were said, whatever, I mean we have a better relationship now and I love her and stuff but there was a lot done that couldn’t be undone if you get what I mean? 

 

[04:26] George: I guess what I’m trying to say is that there was a time in my childhood where a lot of not-happy stuff happened lol. And I think it messed me up kind of. And I think around that time I started to involuntarily regress, and because of my situation, that fear of being found out just never left. And the stress that came with it didn’t, either. I never knew what was happening, all I knew was that I wasn’t safe and I felt like I needed to hide until I was “brave enough” or “big enough” to leave my room.

 

[04:29] George: I looked it up after I found out what age regression was, it’s called vent regression. It’s like the same concept of reverting back to a younger mindset, but it’s all the ugly parts instead of like cute baby and happy lol. So yeah, I think that’s me. And I guess I’m not asking you to care for me or look out for me or anything, but I think you deserve to know what’s going on. And I want you to know how important it is to me that you’re still sticking with me through all of it.

 

[04:32] George: So thanks:) Typing it out helped a lot, so if you want to talk more about it tmrw I’m down for that and stuff if you have questions

 

[04:33] George: Goodnight, Dream <3

 

Notes:

hey ya'll :)

long time no see! sorry to leave you hanging, I had a couple important life events that came up and had to work on some things mentally before I could continue writing, but don't worry, I think I'm in a much better headspace now and things are starting to simmer down :)

updates will kind of be up in the air for the time being as I move into my dorm and start up university and stuff again, just so I can get all adjusted. but I do not plan on ending this fic anytime soon, I honestly love writing it and I really really love all the feedback you guys are giving me, your comments really truly make my day and ugh you guys are the best<333

until next time, and as always, stay safe friends <3
