Relationship Preferences ~ You Turn Into A Baby

💗Ava💗

        At this point, she's so fed up with the Daemos' antics that she doesn't really question why you're now an infant. As for taking care of you, she's babysat before for Mrs. Oates, so she's got it covered. Especially considering that you are still you, therefore a pretty chill baby.

        "Okay, u-um... wanna watch Socky, little (Y/n)?" You nod, happily, letting Ava scoop you up and carry you to the couch, placing you in her lap. She loved the way you watched the screen so intently, like any child (or Daemos, actually...) would.

        After a few hours of being confined to the sofa, Ava dozed off with her arms secured around you. You glanced up at her, yawning yourself, before you leaned against her stomach and fell asleep as well.

        You woke up a few more hours later as an adult to find very flustered Ava. She stared down at you, wide-eyed and red-faced, seeing as you were still resting in her lap, face pressed against her stomach. You proceeded to wrap your arms around her waist and snuggle further into her stomach, telling her to get over it.

❤️Asch❤️

        He has absolutely no idea what he's doing. He and Rhal weren't too far apart in age, so the closest he's ever come to dealing with a baby is Noi. It doesn't help that the baby you is temperamental and won't just do anything he says.

        "Eat your food now!" He commanded, looking down at your small form. You scrunched up your nose at him and looked away. "(Y/n)!"

        Ava rolled her eyes at the display. "Asch, they're a baby right now. They probably can't even understand what you're saying." She explained, a small smirk forming on her lips. "Why don't you go watch Socky with them for a bit?"

        Asch scoffed, trying to seem less tense. It was usually you who could help him with that. "Fine." He picks you up, bringing you to the couch, and sits you down. After a few minutes of watching the show, you yawn and lean on Asch, attempting to use his cape as a blanket. He looks down at you, initially confused, but his tense shoulders settle and he smiles slightly. "You're lucky you're adorable..."

💙Pierce💙

        Despite having never been around children, he's pretty good at taking care of you. Maybe it's his calm and peaceful demeanor or the fact that he can carry you around everywhere, but little you was really happy around Pierce.

        "(Y/n)?" He looked down to find you hugging on of his legs, sitting on his foot. He tilted his head at you, having never seen someone do anything like this before, human or Daemos.

        He starts walking again and hears your giggling coming from the floor, glancing down every once in awhile to make sure your all right. Once he stops, he feels something press against his calf. He looks down to find you resting your chin on his leg, smiling brightly up at him. He gives you a soft smile in return, picking you up off the ground and placing you on his shoulder instead. Another giggle escapes you as you lean on his head, contently.

        When the potion wore off, you had been in his arms, and he effortlessly made the transition from carrying a child to carrying his partner. He laughed, quietly, when he held you closer, rendering you a blushing mess.

💚Leif💚

        "Nonononononono- Gotcha!" When you turned into a baby from some weird potion, Leif had expected taking care of you to be easy. You were pretty calm, usually the one to pull him back from doing something stupid. But, oh boy, was he wrong about you...

        As a matter of fact, he had just caught you after you climbed a cabinet and promptly fell off. "You can't do that, you weirdo." He said, holding you up to his eye level.

        Even as an infant, you still apparently had the capacity to glare back at him, then avoid eye contact. "At least that part's consistent..." He mumbled, looking back at you. Even he had to admit that you were adorable, even if you were a wild child. "Well, now I know that our offspring would be cute..."

        You huffed, crossing your arms while he cradled you in his. He laughed, rolling his eyes at your "just don't" expression, which was all too familiar. "Yep, that's my (Y/n)..."

💜Rhys💜

        Rhys coughed as a glittery purple dust cleared out around him. He squinted, removing his glasses to wipe them down on his robes. Just a few second into this, to his alarm, he heard crying.

        "(Y/n)? Is that you?" The voice was higher than yours, but it was still worth a guess. You weren't exactly much of a crier. He put his glasses back on his face, now seeing that you weren't there. He looked down to the source of the sobbing, to find what appeared to be a younger you, a small shard of glass lodged in your finger. Being a Daemos, purple blood dripped out of your wound and your horns were replaced with mere nubs.

        He knelt down to your height, closely examining your younger form. "An infant... fascinating." Your eyes found him and you jumped, moving yourself slightly farther from him. His eyes softened at the sight. "It's okay, (Y/n), I won't hurt you." You blinked your tears away, allowing him to take you by your wrist and remove the glass from your finger. Then he eased the pain with his ice magic.

        You looked at the wound, then back at him, seemingly in awe. But then you gave him the brightest smile he'd ever seen from you, causing him to smile as well.

        For the remaining hours of the potion effect, he just talked to you and held you, sure to be careful with your more fragile state. He also made a mental note to ask you to smile more.

🧡Noi🧡

        "G-Gah! Oh no...!" Noi tensed up as the liquid from a potion splashed onto you. He had been told to discard that potion by Rhys, so he figured that it did something bad...

        But when the could of light purple smoke cleared, you were a baby, sitting on the floor and staring up at him, curiously. You were dressed in a white onesie with little animal decals that were the same color as the clothes you had been wearing previously. Noi's eyes softened at the sight.

        "(Y/n)...?" He sat down on the floor beside you, crisscrossing his legs. Your eyes followed him and you tilted your head at him, blinking a few times. He beamed. "Aww! You're really cute like this!" He reached out, scooping you up into his arms and booping your nose. "Then again, you're always pretty cute..."

        You went slightly cross-eyed for a second, trying to look at your nose after Noi touched it. He giggled, hugging you close to him. Needless to say, he wouldn't have a problem with waiting out the potion effect...
