Little(s): Bucky Barnes (2) Sam Wilson (4)
(To be) CG: Steve Rogers

~~~~~~~

Sam and Bucky were both classified as littles a long time ago. For Sam, when he turned 21, it was law for him to get classified. He's held it off for years until he got notice from the government.
He swallowed his pride and got classified weeks later. He didn't mind his results, as a matter of fact, he somewhat knew that this would be his classification. He showed some symptoms, like
•Having an oral fixation
•Easily distracted

But the main factor was that he knew that he's regressed before.

For Bucky, he had to get re-classified. He didn't remember his classification in the 40's. Ever since Hydra most of his memories were all a blur.
When he got classified, he got classified as a little.
Doctors said that his headspace would fall between 1-2, or maybe even younger due to past trauma.
Unlike Sam, he wasn't too happy about his classification.

But ever since the both of them learned they were littles, they've agreed to have little time together weekly. Sam informed Bucky that if he skips out on regressing it could lead to getting terrible migraines or just feeling sick in general.
"It's not something you should put down, man. Trust me.. I know."
Is what Sam told Bucky.

It took awhile, two months to be specific, for them to warm up to each other while regressed. But soon, they were practically best friends, they even sometimes called each other brothers.
Overall, the two of them were pretty good at making sure they're cover wasn't blown. They weren't ready to tell anyone about their classifications.
When the team asked, even when Steve asked, the both of them felt the need to lie.

"I got classified as a caregiver. I pretty much figured."
Is what Sam said.

"Just a neutral."
Is what Bucky said.

Nobody on the team questioned them.. but Steve had his doubts.

It was just another little day for Sam and Bucky. The two of them were at Sam's apartment, per usual.

Sam was coloring in a notebook while Bucky was content holding his stuffed animal while watching TV.

"Bucky! What should I draw?"
Sam asked.

Bucky shrugged, looking at Sam with his big blue eyes.
"No know."

"Ugh.. okay, I draw.."
Sam looked around for awhile before landing his attention to Bucky again.
"I draw ou! It's gonna bwe super cool!"
He flipped to another page and started to work on Bucky's body, he was most excited to draw his arm!

The smaller little giggled then continued to watch TV. He honestly had no clue what he was watching. He just enjoyed how the characters kept singing songs and how colorful it was.

*knock knock*

The two littles froze. It was quite for a moment, before the knocking continued again.
"Who that?"
Bucky asked, gripping onto his stuffed animal harder.

"I-I don' know.."
Sam muttered, he was feeling a little scared, but calmed down when he heard a familiar voice,

"Sam, I have your documents. Fury recommended that I give it to you as soon as possible. I have some to do too so I thought it'd be nice if we'd do it together."

"Yay it's Steebe!"
Sam got up and was about to rush to the door, until he was stopped by a hard grip.
He looked over to see that Bucky still looked scared,
"What if it no Steebe? What if it stwanger..?"

"Nuh uh! I heard Steebe! I know it him," Sam let go of Bucky's hand and quickly hugged him, "It gonna be otay! Steeb super duper nice!"

Sam made his way to the door and opened it eagerly with a smile. Steve had a whole bunch of papers in his hands, his face at first looked irritated, but it softened at the sight of Sam.
"Hi!!"
Sam went in for a hug, almost crushing the papers and knocking Steve over, "Where 'ou been? It feels like forever since I seen 'ou!"

"Sam I just seen you last week. It wasn't that long."

Sam pouted a little, "That way too long.."

Steve was..confused, to say the least. Why was Sam talking like this? Why does his voice sound higher?

"Anyway.. it's otay! Cause I forgive 'ou. Cmon! 'Ou gotta say hi to Bucky!"
Sam ran inside quickly. Steve just sighed and walked inside, closing the door behind him. He was a little shocked to know that Bucky was here. Especially during the late afternoon. Not that he really cared, Bucky could see whoever he wanted to.

The super solider rested the papers on top of the counter, and looked around the scenery. Toys and ripped pages were everywhere.. like nobody cleaned in awhile. That's not like Sam.
"Say hi Bucky!"
Sam was now on the couch with Bucky. Bucky didn't say anything to Steve. He just stared.

"Hey Buck, how you been man?"

No response, just staring.

Steve was about to talk again, but he made himself pause. Why were they acting so.. different?
Steve tried to put pieces together in his mind.. the toys, the paper, the higher pitch in Sam's voice, the teddy bear Bucky was holding, the cartoons playing in the background..

Ohh.

It was all starting to click. Something that he had a feeling of a long time ago. His two best friends, were littles! Half of him felt happy for the two, that they were able to regress happily. But the other half of him felt sad. Why did they hide this? How long did they hide this for? That didn't matter for now.

He gave a slight smile then bended down to the level the two littles were on, "That's a nice bear you have, bud. Does he have a name?"

The fear and comprehensiveness in Bucky's eyes started to fade, he could tell Steve was interested. That made him happy.
With a slight smile, he started to explain.
"Mhm. 'Ocky."

"That's a great name. Couldn't have thought of a better one myself." Steve ruffled Bucky's brown hair, making him smile even more.

"Bucky looooves Rocky! He his favorite."
Sam joined in.

"You don't say? Do you have a favorite stuffed animal?"

Sam slightly frowned at the question.
"N-no. Big boys no need stuffies."

"Well, I don't think that's true. Anyone can have one. They are big responsibility. They need lots of loving and hugs, just like Bucky is doing right now."
Steve rested his hand on Sam's shoulder, "How about this, next week, Bucky, you and I can go to the store and get you you're on stuffed animal. How does that sound?"

Sam eyes widened a little, a smile was beginning to creep on his face again. "Yeah!! I be the best at taking care of it! And, and, I'll give it lots of hugs! Like Bucky!"

"That's the spirit, buddy! Then it's settled."

"Steebe?"
Bucky spoke.

"Yes, Buck?"

Bucky patted a spot on the couch that was between him and Sam, "Wanna watch car'oon with mwe?"

Steve smiled, "I would be honored." He said in a goofy voice, making both of the littles laugh. He sat in between the two and tried his best to watch the show.

~

Steve was trying his very best to watch the show. After a couple of episodes, he could already feel himself getting slightly irritated. Rightfully so, how long can someone stay put while watching the same show?
"How about we change it to something else,"
Steve paused for a moment, he looked to his right, Sam was rested on his shoulder asleep. He looked to his left, Bucky was asleep too.

He couldn't held but smile. He didn't realize that the two were so tired. Despite this being an adorable sight, he was slightly at a loss. He didn't know what to do now. Should he leave and possibly call one of them later? But if he were to leave, what if they woke up little again? From what he saw they were doing decently well on their own.. but Steve didn't like the thought of the two having to care for themselves.

Especially in their vulnerable states.

With a sigh, he carefully got off the couch. He's only been to Sam's apartment a hand full of times, so he wasn't to familiar of where anything was. Despite this, he picked up Sam and carried him near a small hallway. He figured it had to lead to his bedroom.

It didn't take long for him to find Sam's room, turns out the door was already open. He went in the room and gingerly rested Sam on the bed, lifting some blankets on top of his body.
One down, one more to go.
He went back to the living room, but to his surprise, Bucky was already starting to wake up. He was sitting on the couch rubbing his eyes.

"Hey Buck, awake so soon?"
He asked quietly, sitting next to him on the couch again.

Bucky shook his head, "Still ti'ed.. wan' go back to s'eep."
Bucky held out his hands in front of Steve, "Sleep now, 'ease."

Steve grabbed Bucky in his arms and stood up from the couch, "You got it, buddy. Do you want to bring your bear to bed with you?"
Bucky perked up a little at the mention of his bear. He looked over on the couch to see it still resting there.
He nodded, wiggling a little bit in Steve's arms.
"It's okay,"
Steve grabbed the bear and handed it to Bucky, "There you go! All better now."

"Thank 'ou, bubba."

Steve paused a little bit, the nickname caught him off guard. But it made him feel.. reassured. Reassured to know that Bucky's trusts him with his headspace. At least, that's what he hoped.
Steve continued walking to the bedroom, "You're welcome, buddy."

Entering the room again, Steve rested Bucky on the other side of Sam, pulling the other half of the blankets onto Bucky.
"Are you comfortable? Do you need anything?"
Bucky shook his head, rubbing his eyes again. Steve inwardly cringed at Bucky rubbing his left eye with his metal hand. that had to hurt. So he quickly brought his hands away from his face. A slight pout formed on Bucky's face.

"Sorry, buddy." He chuckled.

"Bubba? Are ou gwonna stay with mwe and Sammy?"

"I-I"
He paused before he spoke. In all honesty.. he did have to get those forms done. But what was stopping him from doing them here? He would most likely be done by the time they woke up.

He took a deep breath, "Of course I'll be here, buddy. I promise I'll be here when you wake up. So get some rest, okay?"

Bucky nodded, "Sweet dreams, bubba."

"Sweet dreams, Bucky."
