Hewooo my little strawberries~ 🍓

Welcome back to another Oneshot!~ ✨

Today's Oneshot was requested by the amazing,
@FrancistheGreat12 !!

Thank you so much for requesting, and I hope you all enjoy! ✨

Little: Ryoma Hoshi
CG: Korekiyo Shinguji

Okay two things before we start.. LITTLE! RYOMA!! I've never seen that before, so I'm so excited I get to write about it!

2: This relationship is platonic!

Okay, with all of this out of the way, let's get to it! ^^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ryoma Hoshi, the Ultimate Tennis Player, is a deep and secretive individual. Never really spoke unless necessary, he didn't really share much about himself with his classmates, and overall was just.. a quiet person.
When he did talk however he would always try to inspire people with his words and actions.. encouragement, criticism, anything someone needed he would always try to help.
He always had such a kind heart.

However, lately he hasn't been talking.. when people greeted him he would only wave it simply smile. This made people's suspicions very high about the Tennis pro.

Ryoma had a secret.. and they were determined to get to the bottom of it.

Especially, his friend Korekiyo.

~Current Time~
~School~

It was 3rd period, both Korekiyo and Ryoma were in the same class today. It was chemistry! One of Korekiyo's personal favorites.
He sat down bringing out the supplies he would need for the occasion, but something caught his eye.

From the side of his eye he noticed Ryoma playing with his fingers.. he seemed to be content by it.
He was giggling as well..?

'Thats.. odd.'
He thought, slightly confused. Giggling wouldn't be the problem, it's how it sounded! His voice sounded way more high pitched compared to his usual deep tone.. what was going on with him?!

Like usual, Korekiyo decided to leave it alone...yet, he also liked making some theories in his head. He already had a couple, but none of them would be proven right! It seemed impossible!

Unless..?

~After Schoooool~

"Dearest, I'm gonna be going to Ryoma's dorm for a visit, I should be back shortly."
Korekiyo announced by the door,

"Oh! Alright, what for?"
Rantaro asked. He knew they were both friends but they never seemed to talk much.

"I unfortunately left one of your blankets there when I visited for a study session, I'm going to get it and perhaps have a talk with him."

Rantaro smiled, "Okay babe, see you later."
He waved goodbye, his other half did the same. And with that Korekiyo closed the door and made his way to Ryoma's dorm room.

He finally has mustered up courage to ask Ryoma "What in the world is going on?!" (Not like that- more calmly TwT)
Korekiyo noticed his behavior for the longest and he's finally came to a conclusion to what it could be.
Being the ultimate anthropologist, he easily could think of every possibility! And after all, he does have somewhat experience to what may be happening to Ryoma.

After only a few steps of walking he had reached Ryoma's dorm room, a small pixalated version of himself on the door.

Knock Knock Knock

Korekiyo waited patiently..

Creak~

"Oh, it's you Kiyo. What brings you over?"

'His tone seems to be back to normal I suppose.. how interesting.'

"Oh nothing, I recall leaving a blanket here awhile back and I came to retrieve it."

"That was yours? It should just be on the couch, c-come in."
Ryoma was such a polite guy. (Seriously, so sweet)

Korekiyo walked in along with Ryoma, he shut the door behind themselves.
He looked around the messy room, water bottles and clothes were all on the ground.

"Sorry.. I haven't felt that motivated to clean lately, maybe I will tonight."
The tennis pro admitted, "It's quite alright, I don't mind in the least."

The anthropologist smiled once he caught eye sight with the missing blanket,
"Ah.. here it is."
He grabbed it, putting it over his shoulder.

"Oh.. yes, while I'm here-"
Ryoma raised an eyebrow at him, "May I have a small chat with you?"

There stood an awkward silence between them at that moment.. a faint gulp from Ryoma was all the noise made in the room.
"Ah.. s-sure. What about..?"
He asked, grabbing some clothes and throwing them into the laundry basket.

"So. I've noticed you've been acting differently for the past week.. and as your friend, I must say I was concerned- and to admit a small bit curious."

Ryoma was starting get nervous. He didn't even know what the question was gonna be but he felt himself get goosebumps.

"The higher tone of voice, the way you didn't talk, it almost seemed as if.. you were hiding something from us all."
Korekiyo sighed, "And I.. apologize deeply for putting you in the spot like this but.."

"Are you perhaps, an age regressor?"

Ryoma could feel his blood run cold...

How in the name of everything did he come up with that conclusion..?! And why did he get it right?! It made no sense to Ryoma.. it scared him if he was being honest.
But before he could object anything, Korekiyo spoke,

"Listen.. I know you may be wondering to yourself, how did I come up with that.. well, I
had studied the behavior of age regressors since I've found out about the mechanism for stress. And when I noticed the behaviors in how you were acting.. it got my mind going."

"..."

"Please know, that this is just my theory.. and you can object to this-"

Clap, Clap, Clap,

"Damn.. your good, I didn't expect you to figure it out.."
Ryoma admitted, a slight look of defeat on his face.

"Wait.. my contradictions were correct?"
He asked. Korekiyo was shocked, to say the least. Usually he wouldn't say his theories out loud like he just did, but now that he knows things could go like this.. it made him a small bit more confident.

Ryoma nodded,
"Mhm.. now, if you don't mind.. I would prefer you keeping between this you and me. I don't want anyone else knowing, we clear?"

Ryoma felt.. sad.
He didn't really wanna have one of his secrets exposed like this. Especially to his friend but, it felt good to get something off his chest like that.
But now he was worried that Korekiyo would he weirded out.. or even tell someone about his confession.
He prepared himself for this though.

"W-well.. would you mind if I put an offer in the air to you..?"
Korekiyo asked, Ryoma only gave him a side glance.

"Hm?"

"How about I be your caretaker? I've recently learned that age regressors may or may not want CG'a to look after them and.. your my friend.. I'd be willing to take care of you the way you had for me."
He nervously stared to play with his necklace,

"S-so.. how about it, friend?"

Ryoma turned over to him, with a smile forming on his face.. tears of joy wanted to fall down his rosy cheeks, but he held them in.
Even in a million years, he would've never expected someone to offer to be his caregiver.. it made his heart so happy.

"I would.. love that, Korekiyo.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AAAAAWWWW I LOVE LITTLE! RYOMA!
I already have a few headcanons for this dude already-

Also.. did you guys peek the hints?
Yup yup! The hints mean that Korekiyo is someone's CG!~
Hes has experience with Littles, so that's how he noticed Ryoma's "Little" behavior!

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy!

Thank you so much for reading!
I love you all my little strawberries~ 🍓
