squid game age regression ^_^

Thanos usually had a fun time preforming and would always have a ton of energy, but tonight was different. The first few songs he had energy, though after that, it all went downhill. He felt a bit out of it and couldn't find the energy to preform like he often did.

The last couple of songs he did, weren't well preformed. He didn't look or sound happy and he just didn't seem like he was doing well. He only had one more song to preform, then he could finally go to his hotel room and just unwind.

The bright lights shined down on Thanos as he stood on stage in front of hundreds of people. He waited for the music to start playing, but when it did, his mind immediately went blank. He couldn't remember anything about this song, not a single lyric.

Thanos completely froze as he only stared out into the crowd. He couldn't speak, he couldn't move, all he could do was stand there. He felt his breathing become heavy and tears slowly welling up in his eyes. Thanos had never experienced anything like this, he never got stage fright or anxious during a show, so he couldn't understand why this was happening now.

Nam-gyu had been watching the entire show from backstage and when he saw how nervous Thanos looked right now, he knew something was wrong. Nam-gyu already was suspecting that Thanos was having an off night, but this only proved his thought to be right. This wasn't normal behavior.

"Hey, cut his mic and turn off the music and lights. Something's wrong." Nam-gyu whispered to one of the workers, who nodded and went to do as they were told.

The sounds of the crowd murmuring and seeing some of them leave only made Thanos even more upset and stressed, to the point where he was starting to regress, as if things couldn't get any worse for him.

However, Thanos was lucky that, before it was obvious that he was regressed, the stage lights shut off and the music was turned off. Thanos slowly backed off the stage, whimpering quietly, before throwing his headset on the stage and running backstage, over to Nam-gyu.

"Daddy!" Thanos cried out as he threw himself in Nam-gyu's arms and hugged him as tightly as he could. 'So that's why he froze up',Nam-gyu thought, 'he's regressed'. Nam-gyu hugged the taller man back, shushing him softly while he cried into his shoulder.

Some of the workers were giving them, mostly Thanos, weird and confusing looks, but Nam-gyu wasn't worried about that. He could explain to them later if they asked questions. Right now, he was more concerned on comforting Thanos.

"I didn' mean to! I..I didn' know the lyrics and I couldn't...I couldn't think! I'm s..sorry!" Thanos stuttered, his body trembling a bit. He was so worked up over what happened, Nam-gyu felt awful for him.

"Buddy, it's not your fault. That was out of your control, you don't need to apologize for it." Nam-gyu told him. Thanos sniffled quietly, then let out another sob. He felt embarrassed and ashamed for making such a mistake, especially in front of so many people. Even if it wasn't his fault, he still felt humiliated.

"Hey, I think we should go ahead and leave, okay? We can go back to our hotel room and relax. Try and forget about tonight, sound good?" Thanos nodded, another sniffle coming from him as he lifted his head up from Nam-gyu's shoulder.

"Carry me.." He mumbled as he put his arms up. Nam-gyu bit his lip, holding back a laugh. "I'll carry you when we get to the hotel. Right now, I need you to walk to the car, alright?" Nam-gyu responded. He would've carried him, but there were too many people around who knew Thanos, and Nam-gyu didn't want pictures or videos of him being carried out surfacing on the internet, and he knew Thanos definitely wouldn't want that either.

Thanos pouted at Nam-gyu's response. He did not feel like walking all the way to the car, it was too far of a walk. Well, it wasn't really, but with Thanos being regressed, to him it was definitely a long walk.
