You recline on the couch, munching away at buttery popcorn, eyes glued on the screen. Antisepticeye had visited and forced you to watch Insidious, one of his favourite horror movies, and about 20 minutes in you realised that you actually liked it, though it scared you to the bone. Anti comes and sits next to you as the main character Josh's mother visits the house, glitching in excitement.
"(̀Y̡͢/̧̕͡N͡)̛ ̶̕t̷̀h̢̕͜i̕͟s͝ íş m̧̡y͘̕ ͘fá̵vơ̴͢u̸r͞͏̛i̡͘̕t̷́e̵͜͟ m̀҉ov͢͞͡i̡e̡!̧̕͢" he says, and your eyes roll about in your head.
"I know you've only told me about 100 times." You turn back to see the camera focused on Josh's face, and you squint your eyes a bit.
"What's happening he-" you begin, when a horrific red-faced demon appears directly behind Josh's face, and roars. You don't know why you jumped, it wasn't even that scary, but you did, chucking the popcorn away and clutching the thing closest to you.
"Fò̡͢ơk̸̢ (͘Y̛/̶͢N)͢!̵͢͝ ̧͜͜W̷̡͘h͞͞á̷̢t͏ ̶̧t'̴̵e ̷h̶̛e͜͡l͘l̛͜͡.͟.̵̛o̸̢h̨̕." Anti yells, and you realise his voice comes from high above you, it's volume shaking through your already trembling body. You open your eyes shakily, to see your arms feebly wrapped around something grey and soft, smelling faintly of blood.

A massive hand slides underneath you, plucking you from the soft thing with an ease that shouldn't be possible unless..
You shifted. Your powers weren't perfect, and they usually came in at the worst times, when you felt strong emotions. This could be fear, hate, even sadness.
Your suspicions were proven true when you were held face to face with two green eyes bigger than your head, the irises shades of summer grass while the pupils in the centre are wide and infinitely dark. They flicker slightly, like a broken computer screen, then return to something normal and human.
"Anti."
Those eyes fill with happiness and the giant's face stretches into a smile, displaying his white boulder teeth.
"L̕o̷͘͟o̵̴k̕͝ ̸̴́w̶͘h̷o̡ ̡g͜o͜͞t ̨̕s͝m͏́a̸ļ͟l̶̀ ća̵͘͜us̴̷͝e͡͏̕ ̸̶͠ò͢f̶̢ ̸͢͡a҉n i̴̧͞t̷̨sy̴ b̨͘͞i҉̷̢t̨̨͜s͝y̵͢ j́̀u͝m̴p͏̢͡ş̨͘c͘a͜r͟͟͡e͝." he chuckles, face glitching at the edges.

"Cut it out!" You pout at him and try to grow back to normal size to get out of his hand, but no matter how hard you try, his amused face remains colossal.
"Y̶͜e͢r̴ ̶̢sţ̵̢i͘l̶̸̨l ҉s͝m̀͠al̢̕l̶ y͡͡͏e͜͝ ̷͢͡kn͡͠͠o͜w." he says matter of factly, and with a grunt you step off his hand. You slide down his chest and into his lap, the giant watching intently all the way. You start to cautiously creep back to your seat, but Anti has other plans.
"W҉h́͞ȩŕe̷ ͜͝d͢o ̴̡y̵͘e҉ ̴̀͞t͘h͢͜i̕҉̶n̛͢k̷͝ ͝y̴̨er͟͞ ҉͡gó͡i̶̧n͝'?" To your displeasure, the demon's hands encase you easily and pull you backward toward him. Anti gets weirdly possessive when you are tiny - more than he usually is - and that big grin could easily change into a stabbing frown if you did something he didn't like. Which meant all you could do was allow him to hug you and pet you until he'd had his fun, or until you could work out how to shift back to normal.

"Aw̵͘͠w ͟(̕͜Y҉/̵͘N͏̵͜)̀, ̛͢a͏̨̢r̨eņ't̵ y͢ȩ̢̛ ͟j̸u̸s̷͟t̴͝ ͏t'͟ę̷ ̕c͡҉ų͘͜t҉é̛͟s̶t̷ ̨l̴͟iţt͟l̴è̕ t͜hi͝҉n̸g͡." he coos, and hugs you just a bit too tightly, his fingers giant jungle pythons strapping you in place against his billboard chest. One of the digits lightly strokes your head, providing you with an unnecessary feeling of happiness. The pressure is soothing and makes you want to curl up and wrap yourself in his hoodie, but Insidious is going to waste behind you, and his unnatural heat and constant smell of blood is making you feel a bit nauseous.

"Hey Anti, can we keep watching?" You mumble nervously, and the petting stops for a split second, and when it returns it's harder than before, bordering on a light punch, his sharp nails even nicking you a couple of times.
"W͟h̴͟y̸̨?" You can feel his muscles tense underneath you, the boiling anger in his voice. Sure he was a gentle lamb toward tinies when he was happy, but do one thing he disagreed with and he became scary as hell.
"Because it's your favourite movie." You wince as you speak the words, fearing for yourself, but Anti doesn't get angry, his massive hands simply turn you around to face the television screen, never once ceasing the petting.
"Y̧̧ou ̕k̸n̛o̴͞w̧͜ ̡įt́͘ ̨͘f̶̵̧o̶̸̧o͢k̛in͏' i̧̛͢s̀͠." he finishes, and his tall finger finally stops caressing your hair. With his attention finally on something else other than you, the "adorable tiny", you can finally relax and try to enjoy the movie.

As you watch, you realise you feel way too warm for it to be even remotely comfortable anymore, and you know you'll have to ask Anti before you pass out.
"Hey Anti, can you put me -"
"Nò̸." he cuts you off almost instantly, and his stubbornness fills you with sizzling annoyance and bitterness. You only just start to seriously resent him, when you realise you shifted again, but this time, way too much. You feel your head pressing against the ceiling, the rest of your house dwarfed by your own body.
Like Alice.
"S̀H̶̷*̵̨T̴!!" The now tiny Anti curses, and quite hilariously tumbles off the couch. You pluck him from the ground by the back of his shirt, holding him up to your grinning (E/C) eyes.
"Look at ye, fallin' off t'e couch like that. Anti, yer the cutest little thing." you imitate his accent quite well, and he growls menacingly.

"Yeah, a tiny knife. Now shut up, let's watch the movie." You place a fingertip to his fluffy brown hair and he grunts lowly, curling up into a little coffee bean of hate and annoyance while continuing to mumble endless curses.
