Magnus opened his eyes slowly, stretching his arms above his head and onto the pillows as he yawned his grogginess away. The warlock rolled himself out of bed, walking over to the bathroom and nearly tripping over the underwear he had subconsciously kicked off in his sleep. He went inside, surprised to find the bright light already on as he tried to block it with his hand. He started brushing his teeth absently, going over a list in his head of what he could say to Alec when he visited the Institute later so he could apologize for his behavior last night.
He spit out the excess and was about to turn and put on some new clothes when something caught his eye. A little ball of black fluff on the floor, fur shimmering from the light above them and little beady blue eyes looking around in confusion. It seemed as if the creature had just woken up itself, since when it looked up at the warlock towering above it, the creature just kept sniffing curiously. "Well, what are you little fellow?" Magnus crouched down to see what the little creature was and looked it over, discovering it to be a tiny hamster - probably a dwarf of some kind.
The high warlock picked it up in his hands, only then was the hamster beginning to panic and scurry about, nearly falling from his hands. "Hey, don't start that now! You'll hit the ground and break yourself!" Magnus cupped his hands over the little thing before walking out of his bathroom, only to deposit it onto the sheets of his bed while he grabbed some underwear and skinny jeans. When he looked back, the hamster seemed to have calmed down - or at least was too confused to skitter away, since it kept going in a small turn-about to look at it's surroundings. "Hm. I wonder how you found your way in here.. I could have sworn the door was shut, even something as small as yourself couldn't fit through there." The warlock kept muttering to himself as he pondered, finally coming to the conclusion that the creature was cute and his boyfriend probably wouldn't mind him having it - as long as it stayed at his apartment.
"Well little guy, I have a boyfriend to apologize to so I need to get going. I don't have a cage or anything to keep you in yet, so.. I suppose this will do?" The half-demon went over to his closet and pulled out a shoe box, placing the contents on top of another before coming back and placing the little rodent inside, where it started skittering around and squeaking in annoyance - scratching it's tiny claws at the sides. "I'm sorry! I'll get you a much better place to stay on my way back, I just need to take care of this first! Nothing comes before Alec.. Just wish I remembered that last night." the warlock muttered, poking holes into the lid before closing the box and setting it onto his bed-side table. Magnus arranged himself properly before looking in the mirror and walking out.
Alec drowsily looked around, seeing the whiteness of Magnus' bathroom all around him which reminded him of last night and how he ended up there. He groaned mentally, closing his eyes and shaking his head as he noticed the light was too bright for him to just be waking up, making everything seem brighter in comparison as well. His mind was still fuzzy and he had a shattering head-ache, making him want to just lay down and get so sleep again. Should probably find some place better than the bathroom floor this time.. Alec pushed himself up and opened his eyes, but was confused as to why the ground still seemed so close. When he glanced up everything also seemed much bigger than it had before - seeming much too large for his use anymore. What the..?
The teen threw his head around, trying to figure out what was going on when he heard the click of the door. Alec turned, expecting to see his boyfriend finally done with his party - what he didn't expect was for said boyfriend to be a thousand feet tall! At least from his point of view. He took a few small steps towards him, tilting his head up to try and see his boyfriend's face while the other brushed his teeth groggily, looking tired even from down here. He felt his cheeks heat up a bit when he realized Magnus' bottom half was exposed, but pushed it out of his mind. Alec didn't know what to make of the situation, just looking up at his boyfriend, then around at the room, then back to his boyfriend as he pondered. Maybe I'm just having a bad dream. I ate something, it didn't agree with me, and now I'm having a bad dream. That's it..
Magnus turned around, about to head back to the door before spotted Alec and looked at him directly. He breathed out a small sigh as Magnus crouched down towards him, leaning up. He was calm until Magnus' booming voice reached him. "Well, what are you little fellow?" "What..? Excuse you, but I'm your boyfriend! And I am NOT little, no matter how much taller you are than me!" It took him a moment to realize he couldn't hear his own voice, and instead it was small squeaks and other tiny noises. He didn't have time to advance on that thought once he felt Magnus' hands cupping under him and lifting him up with ease. Since when did Magnus get this strong!? And how do I fit in his-! Alec's thoughts shut down as he looked over at the bathroom mirror, not seeing himself but seeing a small, black hamster with tiny paws and beady eyes.
I'm.. Oh no. This is not happening. We are not having another idiotic-mundane episode! Not once more! Alec started skittering about Magnus' hands, trying to figure out how he could let Magnus know his issue - or at least to put him down so he could think straight. Being this high up was strange to him, and a bit terrifying since he now knew that a few feet up regularly would be about 100 in this form. The warlock scolded him but he didn't pay attention to what his boyfriend had said until he was surrounded by darkness - only seeing tiny holes of light from in between the warlock's fingers.
Then without warning he was on the High Warlock's bed sheets, his new, tiny claws digging into the fabric softly since it was familiar to him when his own body now wasn't. He turned to look at Magnus as the half-demon covered himself, wondering if Magnus could understand him at all now. He tried speaking again, only coming out as more squeaks and seeming to amuse the warlock.
Alec turned about as Magnus began talking to him again, the hamster trying to block some of it out from the voice now being a booming volume to him. He finally gave up and just tried to focus on what his love was saying. "Well little guy, I have a boyfriend to apologize to so I need to get going. I don't have a cage or anything to keep you in yet, so.. I suppose this will do?" Alec blinked in confusion as Magnus turned and went to his closet to pull something out - then the little hamster tried to skitter away, tumbling along the sheets as he wasn't used to using his own legs yet.
"No, no, no. I don't want a cage or anything else to stay in - I want to be normal again!" His complaints went un-noticed as he was picked up and placed inside a shoe box, making him panic a tiny bit more and try to claw his way out again. Magnus seemed to sense his distress anyway, even without understanding his tiny curses in hamster-ese.
"I'm sorry! I'll get you a much better place to stay on my way back, I just need to take care of this first! Nothing comes before Alec.. Just wish I remembered that last night." The warlock muttered something as he poked holes in the lid and placed it onto Alec's box, the hamster stumbling when the box was moved and he was practically in the dark, being placed somewhere new.
Alec heard the foot-steps receding, his faith in getting out of this fading with them. He took a breath, settling his small body in the corner of the shoe box and laying his head on the tiny paws. "But I'm Alec.."
