✿︎☾︎ 𝐊𝐲𝐫𝐲𝐥𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐬
❥︎ You woke up to the sensation of a lingering fluffy presence just close to you. You were comfortably and soundly asleep, not yet completely stirred out of your sleepiness, rolled to the side where you'd normally feel Flins laying down on, and would receive an embrace and yet— rather than be met with his familiar warmth, you felt a small and fluffy warm little thing block your way, prompting you to open your eyes half-liddedly, and your eyes bore back to a pair of yellow eyes and of familiar shades of dark blue merged with light blue tips at around the edges, except in a tinier form.
❥︎ You rolled to your side, groaning softly, having not caught wind of the anomaly right beside you. You stretched out your legs and arms from beneath the blanket, a yawn escaping past your lips before slowly sitting up while rubbing your eyes and then turning to face the other side of the bed, right where you'd usually spot Flins only to take a huge pause when you saw a small feline sitting there instead, with its tail swaying in smooth strides. Why does it strangely look like Flins but in cat version?
❥︎ "... 𝑴𝒆𝒐𝒘." The cat version of Flins meowed as you registered its form, before moving to your side, all the while you're still reeling from the surprise of waking up next to a cat. It walked gracefully with its long fluffy dark blue-colored tail swaying side by side, before then it suddenly leaned its head against your arm, nuzzling up against it with a charming smile. You can't help but adore it for its cuteness.
❥︎ You'd eventually pick it up in your arms, cradle it close to your chest as it purred slightly, as if it were enjoying being held in your arms. You stood up from the bed, and went out in search of your lover. You checked outside, his fishing spot, rounded the gravesites, and even in his private study. You panicked slightly, as since Kyryll never leaves without telling you of where he'll be going off to.
❥︎ The cat, meanwhile, relished in your warmth, its smug happy smile remaining on, as if there's nothing wrong in the world all the while you're already getting worried sick about where Flins might be at. Did he just leave a cat by your side with little to no elaboration?
❥︎ You had already considered heading to Nasha Town to look for him and ask around, not yet considering the absurd idea that he might've turned into this fluffy and adorable feline in your arms, when fortunately, you've come across Lauma on the way. The Moonchanter is also headed for Nasha Town to distribute today's boon with the townsfolk.
❥︎ When you told her of your concern about Flins, the Moonchanter's eyes drifts over to the cat in your arms, stays quiet for a moment or two as if having found the peculiar resemblance to the Ratnik in question. Lauma approached closer, complimented the cat, and you wound up telling her that you found it in bed next to you after waking up. It wasn't entirely present in her face, but Lauma seemed to have been realizing the truth.
❥︎ Lauma turned to look at the cat directly, who meowed in greeting, its tail swaying from side to side, and she goes on greeting it back softly. Her ability to speak with animals came in handy. You were momentarily stunned when she had started asking questions about Flins himself, all the while the cat simply meowed and purred back as responses. Then, afterwards, Lauma reveals to you that the cat in your arms— was in fact, your lover. He turned into a cat.
❥︎ You were still reeling from the surprise of hearing the absurd revelation of your lover turning into a cat, but then again, Nod-Krai is no stranger to peculiarity. Anything could happen. Lauma relays to you that Flins told her that he isn't sure what happened either, and that he woke up to find himself having turned into a cat. He didn't seem to panic one bit, perhaps his curiosity winning him over on what it felt to be a cat. You wondered if it has anything to do with his Fae abilities or anything of the sort going out of hand.
❥︎ Lauma did assist you with Flins's situation, and did assure you that although the circumstances are strange and mysterious, he'll turn back to normal within a few days. For now, you'd have to bear living with an adorable feline companion in place of your beloved. But of course, there came the problem of...how you'll need to explain his brief disappearance to the other Lightkeepers if they were to come by and inquire about his recent inactivity.
❥︎ Flins is well-behaved as a cat. He does disappear out of nowhere here and there but reappears, exactly like a cat, carrying bones or antiques or whatever he gets his hands on when rummaging to who knows where. He goes treasure hunting as if he were some free child in the form of a cat. He'd even form puzzles out of the bones, exactly how he does it in his human form. When taking a nap or sleeping, he'd be staying close to where you're staying.
❥︎ All the while you went convincing the other Lightkeepers who came for a visit out of concern, with you reasoning that Flins is ill and does not wish to be disturbed for the moment, said man in his cat form, is enjoying his feline life as if he's not about to be greeted with an enormous amount of paperwork once he turns back to normal. His colleagues did take on your word, and wished him a steadfast recovery, not knowing a single thing.
❥︎ Flins would react to things exactly like a cat. He'd walk around the cemetery, be attracted to the buzzing fireflies and would end up jumping and playing around, chasing them playfully or even hopping over to his usual fishing spot. As a cat, he seemed anxious about dipping in the water, but despite that, he stays there in his usual fishing spot, seated on the rock formation near the bodies of water, and would lazily paw down at the fishes in the water.
❥︎ Flins would be more than delighted, and didn't seem to mind having to eat differently as a cat. When you would serve him fish, he'd look extra happy, as seen by the sways of his tail when it is served to him. His curiosity sure is fueling his happy cat look. Now that you think about it, in a way, Flins sort of acts like a cat sometimes. He likes to appear and disappear like cats, pick up treasures, and have an appetite for fish.
❥︎ When he finally turns back to his human form however, Flins acted as if nothing much has changed but is visibly sweeter to you, feeling appreciative of your care when he was still stuck as a cat. In bed, he'd snuggle up to your chest, and would hold you close as if he were still a cat and would just blink prettily at you with those mesmerizing eyes of his that makes you forget your thoughts about him feeling unchanged as if being turned into a cat didn't bother him at all, one bit.
❥︎ You're never going to find out that his Fae formkeeping (shapeshifting) power definitely did malfunction mysteriously, rendered him into a cat which felt more rewarding and less of a misfortune for him, due to your affections. Perhaps, he could consider intentionally turning himself to a cat just for that. And maybe to get away from all of his paperwork just a bit longer again.

✿︎☾︎ 𝑵𝒆𝒖𝒗𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆
❥︎ This one didn't take place in bed, but rather, you woke up early in the morning only to find that your beloved is gone from bed. It wasn't unusual to find him disappearing off in the mornings, for urgent tasks, but at the same time, Neuvillette does at least give you a soft kiss which you'd be able to feel. Strange.
❥︎ You gathered yourself up, stretched yourself after getting up from the bed, pondering about checking for Neuvillette in his office later just to check in on him and ensure that work won't get too much of a hassle for him. You went towards the bathroom, about to turn on the faucet when you noticed movements and slight water splashes beneath the curtain that separated the bathtub from the half of the spacious bathroom.
❥︎ You blinked, equally confused and alarmed. You made slow steady steps towards the curtains, could feel the slight movements in water, and could see a small moving silhouette behind it. Then, nimbly, you drew the curtains to the side, bracing yourself only to find—
❥︎ "... 𝑯𝒖𝒉?" You muttered, flabbergasted. There's an otter swimming inside the bathtub, with such soft almost teary clad eyes as it stared back at you, half submerged in the waters, almost feeling shy. Strange enough, this... leisurely otter, looked a bit different from the ones you've seen before. It resembled your lover's hairdo and... a mini Feather accessory and those peeler-like horns at the back. There's the eyes too. Those poor puppy-eyed mellowed down looking purple-shaded eyes.
❥︎ Noticeably, his cup was also left at the tableside of the bathtub, half-way empty. You exhaled sharply, connecting the dots. The evidence is right in front of you. The Chief Justice had been turned...into an otter.
❥︎ Eventually, when the realization finally washed over your shock, you rushed towards the bathtub, reached for Neuvi-otter, held him in your arms to which he reciprocated with his small otter arms holding up and back onto you, in your arms, cradled like an upset little child. He looked teary-eyed. Adorable he may look right now, you know this would be of great alarm as since... Well, who's going to run things now that he's been turned into an otter?
❥︎ Eventually, you came to the Melusine staff for help, told them of the situation and presented poor Neuvillette in the form of an otter, adorably distressed as well. In the meantime, his secretaries temporarily handled the work, whereas an investigation took place. It surprisingly looked as if it was going to take longer than usual, so you ended up having to spend a few hours away with Neuvillette as they'd go on having the cup and the water examined alongside the water in the bathtub for inspection.
❥︎ You ended up taking him to the waters, gently sets him down while you sat by a rock, observed as Otter! Neuvillette settled into the waters, growing calmer with your presence with the situation going under control. He doesn't stray too far off from you, however, mostly just swam around a bit, in circles and even would just dejectedly stay near you. Wanting to cheer him up, unable to bear seeing his sad yet cute otter look, you ended up proposing for a swim together.
❥︎ Otter! Neuvillette clearly looked taken aback by your considerate offer and watched as you settled into the waters, the waters enveloping your body bit by bit into shallow waters. Then, with a gentle whim of the hand, you went taking Neuvillette on for a diving adventure. In a way, he's getting a bit of hours off from this and what better way than spending it to cheer him up rather than have him sulk about it?
❥︎ The entire way, you would hold his small otter arm into your bigger human hand, swimming together to ensure that none gets lost. You went exploring around the waters outside of the Court of Fontaine. You didn't exactly stray too far away, but went swimming around sufficiently enough just to make exciting discoveries and explorations with your beloved. You'd go point and even follow schools of fishes with him, toured him around corals and other sights that he barely got to see personally now as the Chief Justice.
❥︎ Slowly, you started seeing him in his otter form look a lot better, relieved even. It's working effectively as a distraction from his distress at hand. Eventually, you came across groups of leisurely otters! You could see the innocent soft look on Otter! Neuvillette's face, before he does shyly turn towards you, asking silent permission to join them. Of course, how could you refuse him? He's starting to have fun.
❥︎ You floated there then, watched with a smile as your lover in the form of a little innocent otter play with actual other leisurely otters. He's rather shy in his movements as an otter but does keep up when playing around them, playing catch with shells and even hide and seek altogether like innocent children of the seas. You let him be for awhile, until it was about time to head back to check for the investigation results. Neuvillette seemed a bit exhausted from playing around a lot, but also cheered up and did receive waves of farewell from the other otters. One even gave him a shell as a parting gift, to which Neuvillette held onto as he followed you out of the waters, be cradled back into your arms again and back to Palais Mermonia.
❥︎ Upon return, you were provided with the results, which concluded that the cause was in the water that Neuvillette had been drinking. The water looked relatively normal, crystal clear like the way Neuvillette liked it, but apparently is laced with a mysterious substance that transformed him into an otter. The issue had been forwarded to the Research Institute already, and an antidote was being produced posthaste. Hopefully, it doesn't take too long to create.
❥︎ In the meantime, you settled down in the bathroom again, let him float in the bathtub for sustenance off water, and waited patiently while continuing to look after him. He ended up floating on his back, adorably fast asleep from exhaustion. You had to resist the urge to poke at his stomach from the sheer cuteness as to not disturb his rest. All the swimming around and the play must've worn him out. He didn't exactly do too much physical labor, after all, and even with his identity that proved of a better physique than expected. Guess he does still have normal expendable energy.
❥︎ Fortunately, the antidote arrived, and albeit concocted in hurry and with little trial runs, you made Neuvillette take a sip off of the vial and thankfully—
❥︎ His otter body glowed and in just seconds, your lover is back to normal, seated inside the bathtub, completely drenched from head to toe, in his inner robes. He probably found a way to fall into the water earlier when he turned into an otter.
❥︎ With the issue at hand finally resolved, Neuvillette could attend back to his duties now even with the great delay. Though, you could catch him smiling a lot more today. Eventually, you'd start hearing about musings on visiting the otters more oftenly together and about going out on casual swims later on from him. What started as an unfortunate incident turned into a lovely memory for him.
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☁︎
✿︎☾︎ 𝑳𝒐𝒈𝒐𝒔
❥︎ There was no day when you do not dream of waking up next to your beloved Banshee lover. His smiles and sweet greetings are always more than enough to make your day, and helped you get through the day a lot more easier. His voice and soft face just had that special charming effect on you, intensified right after you two got together officially and even started sharing the same room.
❥︎ Though, unfortunately, it wasn't his face that you were greeted with, the moment you woke up. Instead—
❥︎ There sat a dazed looking little grey-colored bunny with small dark twinned wings from the back of its tall ears with two legs, blinking, amidst a pile of large clothes that you deemed to belong to Logos himself. The moment you and the bunny locked eyes, you could see its little round red-colored eyes water slightly with cuteness, amidst confusion.
❥︎ It didn't take long for you to put two and two together as you sat up, for you to realize, that this little grey bunny that currently is clinging onto you, is none other than Logos himself. You scooped him up into your arms, didn't bother checking yourself in the mirror, worriedly hurried towards the medical department and told the medic staff about Logos. The poor small bunny looked slightly disoriented and understandably confused about the situation, but with your comforting hands and arms, they got through the inspection with breeze.
❥︎ Logos' case is a peculiar one, rendering the Medical Department unsure of what to be done as it looked like his situation involved usage of complex spellcasting. But they ensured not to leave you and Logos off alone, of course. Amiya caught wind of the situation, came over, had Logos checked with few other Sarkaz operators that are versed in spells (since Logos can't muster any good word at the moment nor even pick up his bone pen to be able to say something). It certainly is a spell, perhaps could be a rune spell that Logos was mysteriously inflicted on with.
❥︎ They said he'll turn back to normal within a few, thankfully, but for the time-being, you had to look after him. You went to work, cradling Logos along in your arms. You'd sit by your desk, handling paperwork all the while he's seated on his favorite stool chair, just to keep him content, though rendered unable to spin around or move around in it like he usually would want to do.
❥︎ To keep him company, you'd go on petting and even scratching the back of his bunny ears for comfort. You would even settle him down on your lap, caress him lovingly as he leaned into your touch, squeaking the cutest of sounds, as you worked away.
❥︎ When news reached the other Elite Operators of Logos' current bunny predicament, it was Blaze who headed over in a rush with great excitement and proceeded to gush about Logos' cuteness alongside others. At the end, Logos ended up slightly dazed and a bit pouty with aching cheeks from all the pinching and squeezing done. He's just too adorable not to be pampered.
❥︎ Logos could barely do anything functional in his bunny form, and so could only sit quietly in one spot or act bored. You bring him his bone pen to fidget around with, but seems like, he can't hold it properly with his own hands too. So, in your leisure, you'd just bring him over to Lena's garden, taking him out for a walk while in your arms, a clean handkerchief wrapped around his little fluffy body, even settled down on a bench to read him stories off a book just to keep your beloved company.
❥︎ Forehead kisses! Logos seemed more vulnerable to kisses in his current state. He's handsomely cute, you can't stop stressing it inside your mind, even as a bunny. He'd look and act flustered with his two dark little wings twitching from bashfulness but appreciative of your forehead kisses, and whenever you're lying down, he'd surprise you with one too. A fair exchange of affection.
❥︎ One of the Operators around found him too cute that they even sewed him a quick yet nicely done mini-jacket, reminiscent of his own bigger one! Logos seemed to take pride in it, even standing by your bedside mirror on top of the table, admiring the handiwork of the patches and sew of the Rhodes Island jacket that he usually wore outside.
❥︎ Eventually, Logos had gotten used into being picked up and hugged by you as you walked around. He relied less on walking by himself, and is treated like some sort of Princess in your arms. He's like an adorable plushie, especially in bed where you would cuddle him close.
❥︎ When he turns back to normal, Logos returns the favor of your previous affections, doubled his charming efforts of making your heart swoon over him like usual. Though, he still would act rather spoiled, having gotten used to cuddling up so close, he started doing it too a lot even more, snuggling up to your chest, even sometimes, just to tease you, he'd ask to be picked up, dragged gently or even be carried by you like you once did when he was still in the bunny form. Oh, and he did keep the mini jacket <3 perhaps he could consider getting the two of you a baby bunny to take care of, soon.

✿︎☾︎ 𝑬𝒙𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒙-𝑭𝒐𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆/𝑭𝒆𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒐 𝑮𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒐
❥︎ Another bnuuy— I mean, bunny shifter. You woke up in the morning, rested after such heavy duty work the previous day. You would sit up, stretching your arms up with a low grunt. Staying in bed had never felt so attractive of an idea for you, oh, to just laze around and sleep all day. That'll be quite the dream for you right now.
❥︎ You were about to get off of bed, expecting Federico to be outside already, perhaps preparing himself for the day already, when the flying black cube that normally accompanied him halts you in your tracks, stopping right in front of you, making such worried pixelated expressions that you didn't even know it was capable of doing, it made panicked hand gestures, prompting you to raise an eyebrow and be on alert. The flying black cube then heads off on its way, guided you outside into the small mini kitchen of your shared living space and there—
❥︎ The Black Cube flew over your head and then pointed underneath the table. You saw Federico's coat and uniform scattered in a pile altogether onto the floor, making you feel immediate concern, as if he had vanished into thin air and left only his clothes behind as a trace.
❥︎ Swiftly, you knelt and ducked your head to take a look at what the cube is pointing at with its small mechanical arms. And there—
❥︎ To your surprise, you saw a small little white bunny, with long extended draped down bunny ears, its back turned, leaving you to see its small little round tail. You held back your breath, when said bunny on two feet, turned around and you saw a pair of pale blue round eyes staring back to yours alongside a familiar blank look (he closely resembles cinnamoroll (≧▽≦))
❥︎ Right beside it was a small cleaning cloth, with drops of scattered vanilla ice cream drops extending to the back of the table by a half, and the small bunny seemed to be busying itself with picking it up to clean up the mess but miserably failing so, due to its small fingerless hands.
❥︎ You took a pause, utterly confused until the black cube flashed a small recording and showed you that Federico had eaten a small scoop of a small portion of Vanilla Ice Cream he took off from the fridge as early morning dessert, when he started showing signs of discomfort with a confused look on his face, and there, his clothes dropped down with a low thud on the floor, with the spoon clanking off of the table, and left a bit of a mess on the floor. The Saint of Laterano had just turned into a little bunny, caught on cam.
❥︎ It was a lot to take in, and when you recovered yourself, you eventually took the cloth off Bunny Federico's side and wiped the floor clean, with spray to ensure that it doesn't stick. Once done, you scooted down again, tapped Federico's small bunny shoulder and held out your arms to pick him up. Even as a bunny, he remained unchanged with his expressions, though he looked extra cuter looking like a lost bunny. With the small pitter-patter of his feet, he then allowed himself to be picked up into your arms, with his clothes picked up from the floor by the cube, exerting greater effort than usual, and is neatly placing them over the chair whereas you already planned on having his case inspected by the medical department.
❥︎ You took him to the Medical Department for inspection, with some of the other chemists taking a look at said suspected Ice Cream to be the source of the switch. Federico cooperated with any body inspection, face adorably blanked as he moved his small body exactly like that of an innocently oblivious bunny. He looked like a teddy bear.
❥︎ Federico is pretty much well-behaved, it's not like he had any order choice anyways. He can't work with such a small fluffy body. Once confirmed that his Ice Cream is laced with another substance that could turn people into small fluffy companions, you were then told that Federico should return back to normal, at best, in 24 hours.
❥︎ You ended up bringing him to work with you, just snuggly fitted into your arms with the cube also following you around, hovering in the air, all the while its owner was settled there, still with an adorably blank expression, as if having resigned himself to his present state of being a little bunny.
❥︎ As you work by your desk, you kept Federico by the side of the desk, letting him sit or walk around. He even would adorably take papers off the stack, pull them out with little bunny squeaky sounds with strength just to bring them over to you as a little secretary. As a reward, you happily would treat him to spoonful scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream<3 he could totally eat them, no issue.
❥︎ You'd handfeed it to him, and he would happily reach out with his small arms, and look like an adorable sated child with his pleased bunny look after he's fed with Ice Cream. Almost every hour or two, Federico would be tugging at your sleeve, asking for more scoops. He's gone spoiled as a bunny, and you could even notice the faint color on his bunny cheeks.
❥︎ Little Bunny Fedie still tries to be helpful in other ways, aside from helping you gather up your documents and paperworks, even proof-reading your reports to you even in his small form and would just quietly point with his small arms at any mistakes done. When sleepily tired, you'd just take him into your lap as to not disturb him with the shuffling of papers. He'd be in a sitting position, having dozed off in such a manner even up onto your lap as you kept working.
❥︎ Tickles! You figured doing it for fun, considered poking at his stomach and back which would startle him. You'd wound up rubbing a finger, and he'd make a look of discomfort and blush in his bunny state. He could barely refuse you, however, but would be pouty afterwards and turn away from you like a child facing the corner of a wall, plopping down with his ears still bundled to the side.
❥︎ When it's time for bed, you'd tuck him next to you, over his side of the pillows, and with a handkerchief covering his small body as a makeshift blanket with his cube settling down on the bedside table, going into offline mode after an entire day of following you and Bunny Federico around.
❥︎ By the next day, you ended up waking up next to your fine boyfriend already back to normal the small handkerchief still on him. He remained blank about the entire experience, simply taking it as a strange experience to know the perspective of a bunny's. He doesn't show it but he does show a tint of pink on his cheeks whenever it's brought up. And, here's keeping the handkerchief wherever he goes now <3
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☁︎
✿︎☾︎ 𝑨𝒏𝒂𝒙𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒔
❥︎ Rather than wake up to the bright morning rays, you stirred awake from an enormous weight right beside you on the bed. It was as if you were sleeping next to a giant rock. You groaned, wondering if Anaxa had brought his research or whatever of the sort to your bedroom and decided if it'll be a good idea to surprise you with it, if he's that enthusiastic to show it to you.
❥︎ You sat up, turned to the side, rubbing your eyes only to slowly halt, and comically looked up to a singular twinkling red colored eye gazing down at you with an eyepatch on the other. Then you trailed your gaze downwards in a comical manner, slowly registering the sight of a baby dromas sitting right beside you. You inhaled sharply, letting it settle down inside your mind so early in the morning.
❥︎ ".... 𝑨𝒏𝒂𝒙𝒂?" You called out softly, entertaining the rather absurd yet characteristic idea that your lover could wound up with such an idea, considering his great fondness for Dromases. In response, the green-colored baby Dromas beside you wagged its tail happily, causing the bed to shake slightly. It also uttered a cute low 'Grumph!'. You winced at the shaking, as the baby dromas in front of you hops out of the bed, causing a huge creaking sound to be emitted, before it waddles happily out of the bedroom, its tail still wagging side by side.
❥︎ By instinct, you immediately stood up from the bed, albeit mentally shaken, followed the dromas version of your lover down the hallways only for you to happen to step down on a paper, strewn up with drawings and diagrams. It had Anaxa's handwriting, prompting you to pick it up and it was just as you thought. His research involved turning...humans into Dromases. You can't help but fear the thought behind it, even though you knew of his ardent love for Dromases. Is he planning for world domination or something? Does he want to convert everyone into Dromases or something? The thought made shivers run down your spine.
❥︎ With haste, you ran after the eyepatched baby Dromas, who wagged its tail happily as it heads off from the entrance of your shared home and into the outside world, as if it were some sheltered child being freed from the confines of its parents. You ended up contacting Hyacine over for help, when Anaxa proved far too enthusiastic to be stopped even as a Baby Dromas.
❥︎ When she arrived, with you having explained the situation to her, Hyacine is equally flabbergasted as you are but figures that the Professor seemed incredibly happy like a child playing off into the fields, as you two stood there, talking and staring while seeing him hop and prance around in his Dromas body.
❥︎ When you both managed to get him settled down (which took immense effort as he tried to run and hop around near the Dromas station) with Hyacine, with her help, you went confirming that it was indeed one of his experiments that turned out to be successful. When asked about the antidote, Anaxa wagged his Dromas tail, indicating he did create a draft (thankfully) about it but didn't seem to have actually created itself. Based on his notes that Hyacine managed to gather in his office, Anaxa seemed to be experimenting on the idea, as he hoped to know personal accounts of living in a dromas body.
❥︎ He truly wanted to promote the idea of adoring how the Dromases have lived and truly understand them better. There's even an extra note about he'd need to turn back into a human, so he could at least note down his experience then do it again should it turn successful but also considered it as heaven should he just stay as a happy little Dromas.
❥︎ Hyacine went off to concoct the reversal antidote, following the Professor's notes, all the while you're left having to babysit your lover in the form of a baby dromas. He's incredibly energetic compared to his usual self. Anaxa liked to prance around, and enthusiastically would prattle towards other Dromases even the larger ones like a little baby chick, conversing back and forth with only 'grumph's. You've never seen such a huge twinkle in his eye, when he conversed with other dromases. He even went off to play race with other baby dromases.
❥︎ .... He even willingly ate red soil too. Your eye twitched slightly, gulped all the while Anaxa ate it little by little, munching on it and you still saw that same spark in his eye. He even started eating enormous amounts of red soil like other Dromases without wincing one bit. He ate and left no crumbs. Quite miraculous how his eyepatch stayed on even as a baby dromas. You can already tell he's going to lock himself in his office once he turns back to normal, and obsess over his Dromas research.
❥︎ Then, afterwards, he just plops down, tilted his head down and sleeps on the spot, looking tired as if he didn't just digest red soil and ran around to tire you out a lot. It gave you breathing room at least.
❥︎ At night, you made a makeshift bed for Anaxa, as since the bed might not survive his dromas weight even as a baby. He ends up prattling over and even nuzzles his head in an appreciative manner against you before settling down, feeling spoiled all the while you plopped down in bed, alone this time. He's in a good mood, most definitely.
❥︎ The next day, Hyacine arrives back with the concocted antidote, and feeds it to a reluctant Anaxa who then turns back into his human form. The first thing he did upon morphing back? Look like a gleeful child in the form of a mad scientist who hurried over to his laboratory, as if having made such a huge discovery that could shape the world so greatly. He locked himself in there for days, but does spring out here and there, and did appreciatively give you gifts afterwards for your help in his 'research' as a babysitter and of course, for your care ♡
❥︎ He'd definitely do it again.
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☁︎
✿︎☾︎ 𝑷𝒉𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒐𝒏
❥︎ You were having the nicest of dreams. You'd toss and turn in your bed, feeling comfortable. Having been made a habit out of cuddling your lover in bed, you would turn to his side of the bed, only to feel yourself hugging something warm and fluffy. You slowly opened your eyes, stirring awake from the situation, having felt it breathing over your arms.
❥︎ Surprise, surprise. You woke up next to a white-furred fluffy samoyed dog, with a glint in its blue colored eyes, tongue out into an adorable smile. It even had a similar brown leather choker as a collar and had that familiar sun mark around its neck area. You blinked. The dog wagged its tail, in a sitting position. It looked so adorable, but still, strange. Why is there a dog in your bed? And why does it look strangely just like Phainon?
❥︎ As you call out for your lover, about to get off of the bed when the dog leaned up against you, and even barked adorably, wagging its tail. Then, it hit you. You spoke Phainon's name again, and it kept wagging, barking towards you with its adorably innocent look.
❥︎ .... You can't be too sure. You didn't want to acknowledge the absurd possibility yet that the dog could've been Phainon. You tried messaging his contact, and you heard his phone/teleslate buzz on the bedside table. It was just right there.
❥︎ You gulped, and there, you decided to pry an answer out of it before you could start panicking. You told it to bark twice for a yes as an answer to a question, and bark once for a no. You first asked if it could understand you, which made the dog bark twice in swift succession, followed by the wild question of asking if it was Phainon. The dog barked twice, and there went your sanity. Your boyfriend turned into this adorable fluffy creature.
❥︎ You ended up taking him out that day to the twilight courtyard to be checked on by Hyacine. You recollected having woken up to it, and how it responded to your commands questions. And there, Hyacine told you that Professor Anaxa coincidentally had been looking for an experimental potion of his, that could turn people into animals, (totally) not for his Dromas research, which went missing last night. You remembered that Phainon went to the Grove last night on official business, and dread crawled at your skin.
❥︎ You and Hyacine asked whether it had drank something in the Grove, and the dog barked twice. Professor Anaxa is going to be pissed, that's for sure. He probably already is, but will be moreso when he finds out.
❥︎ You ended up presenting Phainon to him in the end. Phainon acted like some poor little puppy with its ears folded down when Anaxa scolded him, frustrated, but did go on creating the antidote for him anyways. Aglaea has been informed of the situation at hand, and so, you became your lovely boyfriend who had turned into a dog's...special babysitter for the day.
❥︎ Phainon is incredibly cheerful for a dog. He'd ask frequently for kisses, and would whine if you don't give him any. He always wags his tail with you. He can't seem to help his dog instincts either and wound up playing with the butterflies just around the garden but would end up bumping straight into the wall. He ended up sitting in a corner, embarrassed with ears folded down afterwards.
❥︎ Phainon happily even goes out playing with other dogs and even chimeras, even happily playing fetch. Even passersby at town marveled at the sight of the adorable dog. Tribbie even patted him a lot too! None could resist his tempting fluffiness.
❥︎ When you took him home for a bath, as since Anaxa is still busying himself with the antidote, being the fluffy little creature he is, he floofed all over the place. That is to say, he shed loads of fur and looked like a soulless yet adorable dog when he got wet. He looked like a fluffy little cloud when he got dried up, looking fresh.
❥︎ For night time, Phainon still gets to sleep beside you, satisfied with cuddling up next to you with his fluffy body. He'd whine anyways if he sleeps elsewhere without you.
❥︎ It took a few days before Anaxa had you and Phainon come over at the Grove, receive the antidote and reversed his form into that of a human again, scratching the back of his head with a grin all the while Anaxa scolded him again for stupidly drinking a random drink off of a table, just because it looked delicious to taste and looked like a normal drink. Phainon had fun anyways as a dog. He was oggled at so greatly, and had a break from his responsibilities even as a dog.
❥︎ Even in his human form now, Phainon still acts like a dog, anyways. He remained incredibly affectionate, even frequently pointing to his cheeks and forehead for kisses, all the while his invisible tail wagged at you. He barely changed at all, and still had the same lovestruck puppy eyes whenever he looked at you.
