Baby!Raphael's New Life

Alec meets Little Raph

Raphael starts to panic a bit, which stresses out Magnus. The warlock's phone goes off, causing Raphael to flinch.

Alexander<3: I don't know what I saw, but just text me if/when you're ready to talk because if I'm living with you, I think I need to know.

Magnus sighs and shows Raphael the message, causing him to actually fully age down in fear. He starts to cry into Magnus's chest, producing heart wrenching wails. The caregiver quickly puts his phone to the side and rubs Raphael's back soothingly, attempting to get him to relax. He stands with the Little in his arms and walks around the room a bit while bouncing him lightly.

"Shh... Everything will be alright no need to be so upset. It's alright papá is here for you I won't let anything happen. Calm down it's okay." Raphael manages to quiet down and Magnus lets out a sigh of relief. The Little lets out a few small hiccups before looking at Magnus. "Tell him come back." "Excuse me?" Magnus raises an eyebrow in confusion. Raphael points to Magnus's discarded phone and the older male pieces it together. "You want me to invite Alexander back over so we can talk to him?" The boy nods and cuddles back into Magnus. He sighs and sends Alec a quick text.

Alec is just walking around New York, trying to think of what it was that he saw. He was more confused that anything, never seeing an adult act like a baby before. His phone goes off and it startles him, making him glad that his glamour rune is on or else he would've been laughed at by many mundanes.

Mags<3: Go ahead and come back now, darling. Raphael said he's alright with talking to you about this, but please be patient when we explain. He's not in the most stable emotional state he's very sensitive.

Alec immediately walks back to the loft, glad to get away from all the mundanes surrounding him. 'Just walking around like ants go do something with your lives.' was the main thought that went through his head. When he reaches the loft, he hesitates before knocking on the door. He knows that he's allowed to walk in whenever he wants, but he's afraid of making things worse. As he raises his closed fist to knock, Magnus opens the door and smiles. Alec notices that he has Raphael clinging to his side and walks in quickly before anyone else sees.

Raphael hides his face from Alec in a shy way and Alec thinks it looks actually kind of cute. He smiles at the Little, still extremely confused, but he can't help smiling at someone acting so cute. Magnus gestures for him to sit down and he sits beside him, Raphael in his lap. The vampire turns his face so Alec can see the pacifier in his mouth and Alec has to chew slightly on his inner cheek so he doesn't mention out loud how cute he is. Magnus can see this and feels a bit of a weight lift off of his shoulders. Raphael unexpectedly reaches out a hand and pokes Alec's nose, causing Alec to make a hilarious face in response out of confusion and since he didn't think that would happen. Raphael laughs and the other two cannot help but laugh as well.

"Mags he's adorable. I may not understand what this all is but he's so cute." "It is called ageplay, Alexander. We started it around the time I found him in the year 1954 to help him with his stress and anxiety and it became a major thing in our lives. We do this quite often and, though I am ecstatic that you are moving in with me, I will not change that to accommodate you." "I wouldn't ask you to. If it helps him and no one is getting hurt, I don't see the harm. Plus like I said it is pretty cute. If there's any way I can help, and clear it with Raphael first, let me know. I feel like I want be a part of this and I don't know why. If he's willing to let me help, I'll do my best." Magnus smiles and kisses Alec gently. "That is the best answer I could have heard."

Magnus's phone goes off and he groans. "There's my timer. Could you keep an eye on him for a bit? I need to finish something. I will open the door to his room for when he's here and just stay with him. I already gave him a bottle you just need to watch him and possibly play with him." Alec nods and Magnus opens the door to the room. He hands the shadowhunter Raphael and smiles at how Alec cradles him close against his chest. Alec walks over to the room with Raphael clinging to him like a koala in a blue onesie and Magnus goes to work.

Alec places Raphael on the floor and sits beside him. "So, what sounds good to you?" Raphael crawls over to his bucket of blocks and drags it back to Alec, dumping it out in front of them. "Alright." Alec smiles at him and tries not to move when the Little leans on him, not wanting to disturb him as he builds his tower. After the tower falls four times in a row and Raphael starts to get frustrated, Alec builds a better base for him and helps guide the blocks to keep things stable.

After about an hour, Raphael lets out a large yawn. Alec smiles. "I think you need a nap, buddy." The vampire shakes his head and pouts. Alec nods and grabs a blanket off of the dresser, wrapping him in it. Raphael clings to Alec's shirt. "Stay pwease..." "Of course I'll stay." Magnus keeps a couch in the corner of the room for in case Raphael wants to nap with him. Alec lifts Raphael in his arms and lies down on the couch, keeping Raphael on his chest. The Little is asleep in seconds and Alec smiles.

Magnus hears his phone go off and smiles. He gets a picture of a sleeping Raphael on Alec's chest and a caption with it.

Alexander<3: I think he likes me. I'll stay with him during his nap so just focus on being the badass warlock you are. I love you :)
