Little!Alec and Others Adventures

Trying New Things and Little Lies

Magnus places Alec down on the couch as the boy rubs his eyes. "Still sleepy baby boy?" Alec shakes his head, taking his pacifier out. He looks at Magnus and raises his arms, wanting to be held again. Magnus chuckles softly and sits beside him, pulling him slightly into his lap. Alec wraps his arms around Magnus's torso and cuddles him.
"Now what has gotten into you today?" "Miss you..." Alec's voice was very quiet, but Magnus heard him perfectly. Magnus sighs and adjusts Alec so that he can see his face. "I missed you too, sweetie. Now I believe I said I would have you eat something?" Alec nods a little bit, not feeling too vocal. Magnus smiles and takes Alec's pacifier from his hand, placing it in his mouth once again. Alec mindlessly sucks on it as he lets go of Magnus. The warlock stands and looks at his shadowhunter. "How does spaghetti sound?" Alec nods and Magnus ruffles his hair before walking to the kitchen.
In the end, Magnus uses his magic to make the food because he greatly disliked being away from Alec for too long while he was in headspace. He puts both of their plates on the table as well as a sippy cup of water for Alec before going to go get the boy. Magnus leads him over to the table and has him sit beside him, making it easier to feed him. Alec looks at the sippy cup before taking out his pacifier and trying the new cup out. He immediately doesn't like it, not a fan of how the spout is a hard plastic and not a more flexible rubber like his pacifier. He puts the cup down at a distance from his plate as he accepts a bite of food from Magnus. The warlock notices how Alec reacted to the sippy cup and looks at him.
"You don't like it? Why not?" He's very curious why Alec would reject it. "Not soft. Don't like how hard this part is." He taps the spout and Magnus nods. "I shall find you one with a rubber mouth piece then. Is that alright?" Alec nods and opens his mouth as Magnus brings another forkful to him. Magnus decides to take things a step further by instead of just changing the sippy cup, he gets Alec a baby bottle full of water. Magnus watches, curious on how he will react. Alec takes the bottle, tests the nipple of it, and starts drinking from it. Magnus cheers silently in his head, he's been wanting to do that for a while. Out of interest, Magnus reaches over and holds the bottle in place. Alec does not seem to care instead just playing with the sleeves of his shirt as Magnus helps him drink a bit. After they finish eating, Alec and Magnus cuddle on the couch. Magnus starts to flip through movies as he notices Alec squirm slightly. He watches him from the corner of his eye, waiting to see if he asks Magnus for anything. After about a minute Alec just leans back into Magnus and relaxes, alerting the warlock of what he's doing. He waits a few more seconds before looking at Alec.
"Sweetheart? I think I should check your diaper, is that alright?" Alec puts his hands over it and shakes his head, confirming all suspicions. Magnus sighs. "Now come on none of that. You don't want another rash do you?" Alec shakes his head again but won't move. "No wet... Papa no need to move... Alec dry..." Magnus reaches over and feels the front of Alec's diaper, pushing the boy's hands away. "You are wet, Alexander. Can you sit up please? I need to get everything and change you. Let's do this quickly so that we can talk about why you lied to me." Alec sits up and nods, tears filling his eyes. He thinks that he's in trouble and that his papa is mad at him. He won't look at Magnus, making the older man sigh as he gets up to get what he needs. He returns to Alec and pulls his pants off, examining the damage.
"Alexander, you are soaked! Are you going to lie to me again and say you don't need a change?" Alec shakes his head. Magnus hasn't noticed the tears in his eyes until now and immediately feels guilty. "I'm sorry sweetheart. I just need you to be honest with me okay? I'm not angry in the slightest and you are not in any trouble okay?" "Okay..." Alec sniffs a bit as Magnus strokes his face. He continues the diaper change in silence, rubbing his outer thigh or belly at times to attempt to comfort him. Alec calms down as Magnus puts his pants back on, pulling him close for a hug. "I really am sorry, Alexander." "Is okay papa." Alec gives him a loud kiss on the cheek before placing his pacifier back in his mouth. Magnus smiles at him.
"Love you papa." "And I love you, Alexander."
