I don’t even remember who i saw posting about this (still kudos to them) because i saw a post with this idea months ago for a completly different fandom and it just came to me like a flashback sent from the gods but:
Desk pet 141. No one knows what happened but they went on a mission and came back pocket sized. They’re about two apples tall, maybe closer to three in Ghost’s case.
You, who got out of the mission because you were stuck doing desk duty for having been a month late in your last report, end up being in charge of them while the docs try to figure out what happened and how to turn them back.
You didn’t even know they were back from the op, too busy grumbling to yourself about stupid files and records while typing away at your computer. Someone knocks on your door then, one of the privates awkwardly shuffling in with a box that seems to be stuffed with some of the infirmary’s sheets.
“I’ve uhm… they said you’d be in charge of these… them…? Anyway, i came to drop this off.”
You barley have time to look up from your computer before the door is closed again, cardboard and fabric sitting on the other side of your desk.
A light huff leaves you before you reach over, nothing being able to prepare you for what you see inside.
There, your four closest teammates, barely bigger than your own hand, looking up at you like the giant you are to them. You freeze for a moment, unsure of what to do, weighting the chances of this just being an incredibly elaborate and well-produced practical joke from them.
But it would have to be too well done, because Johnny stands up as soon as he realises who’s holding the box now, waving at you with all the excitement a tiny thing like him can muster. Beside him Kyle is chuckling and Ghost is just staring at you.
What really sells you on it though, is when the Captain turns towards you, tiny fists moving to grab onto his miniature vest before starting to swing back-and-forth on his feet, rocking from toes to heel like you’ve seen his true-sized counterpart doing too many times to count. He just tilts his head forward a bit before giving an approving nod in your direction.
Shit, okay. You’re going to need a jacket with big enough pockets to carry these guys around for a while.
