Baby!Raphael's New Life

How It Started

{1954}

"I don't know Magnus... I mean... I know I'm starting a new life but is this really necessary?" "Now Raphael, this is simply something to help you with your stress and anxiety with starting over and having to change everything in your life. It is not necessary but I recommend it, young vampire." Magnus looks at the young boy, who is nervously looking at his hands. Raphael Santiago had become a vampire the year before and is still only a teenager. He's scared to death of what he's become and the moment he found Magnus Bane, High Warlock of Brooklyn, he thought things would only get worse.

Magnus took the terrified vampire under his care and became a pseudo father to him. The warlock has noticed how incredibly anxious the young teenager has been and remembered something that an old friend of his would do because of his PTSD.

"Ageplay is considered very beneficial, Raphael. I am not forcing you to do this because I believe strongly in consent, but I believe it could be good for you." Raphael looks at him. "Is it... you know..." If he could blush, Raphael would resemble a tomato. Magnus gives a light chuckle. "Completely non-sexual. I would not take advantage of you like that." Raphael nods and looks at Magnus.

"I'm willing to try it..." Magnus smiles and nods. He uses his magic to summon a small object. "What is that?" "It was invented about fifty years ago, give or take, by a man named Christian Meinecke to soothe a child's cries instead of an infant using their hand or another object. Known more commonly as a pacifier." Raphael examined the small object in his hand, feeling the difference between the hard, plastic shield and the flexible rubber teat. "Won't my fangs tear through this?" "It has been reinforced using my magic to be strong enough to not be destroyed by your fangs. Try it." Raphael nods and places it in his mouth, giving a few tests sucks. He nods in satisfaction.

"Is vewy comfoable." Magnus smiles at how it makes his words slur, understanding him regardless. He ruffles the boy's hair and goes to grab a baby bottle (1864) and fill it with blood for him, planning on letting him hold it this time.

{PRESENT DAY}

Raphael is lying down on the floor of 'his' room in Magnus's loft. He's been mega stressed lately and desperately needed to age down. Magnus walks in with a bottle of blood and smiles at the babbling Little on the floor.

"And how is my darling boy?" "Papá!" Raphael smiles behind his pacifier and makes a grabbing motion towards Magnus with both hands. The warlock smiles and sits beside him, placing the vampire's head in his lap. He takes out the pacifier, getting a whine in response, and places the teat of the bottle into his mouth. Magnus feels a shift in his wards, Alec is on his way up. He sighs, Alec is moving in with him and he's not sure how the young shadowhunter will react to what Magnus and Raphael do on occasion. Raphael can feel Magnus tense slightly and gets into his between space. He gets the bottle out of his mouth

"¿Qué pasó?" "Alexander is here... He's moving in with me." Raphael groans. "Magnus I need this right now." Magnus grins at the childish whine. "And we are not stopping. I shall leave a note for him that I am extremely busy and lock the door, he will not interrupt." "But what about when we need to do this again?" "We can figure something out." Both men were too focused on talking that they didn't hear the door open, or notice Alec watching them. Raphael sees Alec in his peripherals and freezes, causing Magnus to lock eyes with him.

"Umm... Am i interrupting something Mags? I'll just... Yeah..." Alec leaves the loft completely, not wanting to make things worse. Only one word was able to leave both downworlders' lips.

"Shit."
