It all started with Jade leaving a small bottle on Azul's desk in the office. "Just a harmless experiment," she said with her typical mysterious smile. Floyd, intrigued, asked her what he was doing, but Jade gave no clear answers. Azul, busy with his accounts, just sighed and decided to ignore him.

You, sitting on a nearby couch, looked at the bottle and, without thinking much, took a sip from it. A second later, a strange sensation ran through your body: the world seemed to get bigger and your clothes became heavy and disproportionate. Something was terribly wrong.

When Azul, Jade, and Floyd turned to look at you, their reactions were very different.

"Huh?! He's turned into a baby~!" Floyd shouted, laughing in amusement.

Azul blinked, slowly adjusting his glasses, as if his brain was processing what he saw. Jade simply smiled, bringing a hand to his chin, analyzing the result of his experiment with curiosity.

You, frightened by the sudden transformation, did the first thing that came to mind: seek shelter. And the victim was Azul.

Without thinking, you launched yourself at him, clinging to his uniform with your small hands and hiding your face in his chest. Azul stood completely rigid, with his arms in the air, not knowing how to react.

"...Jade, turn him back to normal." he said with a tense voice, looking at Jade.

"Ah, I'm afraid the effect will last for several hours..." Jade replied calmly.

"Then we can play with him~!" Floyd exclaimed, stretching out his arms to grab you.

But before he could do so, Azul held you tighter and pushed you away from him, as if it were a reflex.

Floyd blinked before letting out a mocking laugh. "Oh~? Has Azulito grown fond of him already?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Azul snapped, though his grip on you didn't loosen one bit.

Jade watched the scene with amusement. "Looks like someone has paternal instincts."

Azul snorted, but when he looked down and saw you clinging to him, he gulped… and with a resigned sigh, he ended up accommodating you better in his arms.
