would say the Frenchman is losing it...

going to watch movies from his cute fort and eyebrows isn't invited!!

((he's six you know))

hasn't realized the situation yet but he's completely fine with not being invited.

((Ah I forgot about that ><:: ))

going to have tons of fun without him, huff.

beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with him.

doesn't have anything wrong with him, but is silently huffy that Arthur looks older than him now....

knelt to stare into the fort frowning. "What the hell happened?"

frowns at him. "As if I don't suspect your dabbling in the dark arts causes this sort of thing," he huffs.

folded his arms over his chest as he stared at him. "Yes normally, but I didn't do this. Not directly anyway."

hums, staring him down doubtully for a moment before looking away. "I think I caught something from Ludwig, whatever it is."

laughed a bit and shrugged before he stood again. "Well it suits you, at least now you can act your age."

froms, sticking his hand out of the fort to flib him off. "You're just jealous of how cute I am."

flip*

shakes his head. "Oh no I'm not at all."

hums. "Definitely jealous," he decides, settling down into his blanket pile within his fort.

not about to argue with a child about this. "If I was jealous I would just change myself into a kid. Which is something I would most certainly not enjoy."

frowns, but then gets an idea. "....change me back," he requests, peeking his head out again.

stared at him and pretended to think about it and shook his head. "Nope."

pouts and climbs out of his tent. "No no come on. It's Greg's birthday soon, and I can hardly do anything when I'm this little!" he protests.\

continues to watch him and shakes his head again. "Oh but you are just to cute like this."

crosses his arms, trying to stand tall... though it really didn't work. "Don't be a dick," he huffs.

shakes his head again and grins. "I think I will leave you like this."

groans, and punches England in the gut. It's hardly got any strength in the hit though, thanks to his current condition. "It's for your brothers benefit, you ass," he frowns.

pretended to be hurt by the punch as he raised a brow and stared at him. "So you two can celebrate with sex? Yeah I dunno if I'm that interested in changing you back."

pouts at him, realizing the hurt was faked. "So I can take him out to a nice restaurant and be able to kiss him in public without someone calling the child protection services!" he frowns, frustrated.

laughed at that and shrugged. "I would pay to see that."

smacks him again. "Salaud."

shrugs a bit as he tucked his hands in his pockets. "Fine."

hums at that, eyeing him. "...fine, you will?"

nods, "I have a feeling I wont hear the end of it from Gregory if I don't."

perks up a bit at that, but nods. "....yes, probably." Because he would definitely tell him if he didn't.

suspected as much. He was rather enjoying the whole not really talking with Gregory thing right now. It was quiet. "You a little brat."

you're*

grins up at him. "You love me still~" he answers, pleased now that Arthur had agreed to help.

shakes his head at that and scoffs. "No I certainly don't."

giggles, patting his arm but giving him a knowing look. "Do we have to go to your place, or can you pull out your little wand and do it here?"

didn't acknowledge the look. "My place... I don't use a damn wand."

grins and shrugs. "If you say so, Potter~" he teases, though pulling away to get his coat and boots on.

ignored that as he went to the door to wait for him.

pulls on his oversized coat (he hadn't let Toni spend that much on him, it would've been cruel,) and slips on the boots, looking up to Arthur and saluting him to signal he was ready. "Are you gonna

carry me?" he asks, having gotten used to using the Toni express.

stared rather blankly at him when he asked that. He wouldn't dare carry the French man. "No, why would I want to carry you?"

pouts at him. "Because my coat will drag on the ground otherwise?" he tries.

frowns at that as he looked at the coat and shrugged. "So?"

pooouuuttts. "How mean," he answers, trying to gather up the coat so it didn't drag.

watched him for a moment before he sighed and picked him up. God he was going to regret this later on.

blinks as he picks him up, laughing happily and clinging to him instead. He settles in quickly, pleased with this. =u=

far less pleased as he carried him outside, closing the door behind them. It didn't take him long to flag down a cab.

leans against him happily, enjoying at least some things about being little again. It's not like he got this kind of treatment growing up...

had always assumed the other had been starved for attention growing up. It was a working theory he had.

...would never admit it.

wouldn't expect him to. He put Francis in the cab before he got in as well and told the driver where to go.

settles into the cab, buckling himself up for the ride.

got comfortable and determined to pay as little attention to Francis as he could.

decides to make that difficult, soon shimmying out of the top half of his seatbelt in favour of using Arthur as a pillow.

frowned but didn't shove him away. Instead he just focused on looking out the window.

happily settles in, staring out the window rather than talking. He soon falls asleep though, since apparently it was nap time.

let him sleep till they got to his place. He paid the driver and nudged Francis awake before climbing out of the car.

blinks awake, dazedly climbing out with the urging and waving goodbye to the driver. He takes Arthur's hand as they walk to the house, acting more like a child when half asleep like this.

picked him up again, sighing a bit. He really wasn't sure what to think of Francis like this. He managed to get his door unlocked and when they were inside he set Francis down before he went to put the kettle

on. He needed tea.

gasps an clings to him as he's picked up again, slowly waking now in the cold. He murmurs a thanks as he's set down, rubbing his eyes a bit and gaining his bearings before following him to the kitchen.

got a piece of cake out of the fridge and set it on the table with a glass of milk before he took his sweater off. "Just sit and eat some cake. I'll go see what I can do to reverse this."

blinks, hopping up into the seat and eyeing the cake. It looked pretty good. "...you didn't make this, right?" he asks, unable to help himself even though Arthur was being nice to him.

glared at him for that, "maybe." He left him with that as he went down to his basement. Mint bunny was soon perched on his shoulder as he grumbled to himself.

grimace at that, remembering the last time e had (almost) eaten Arthurs cooking. He waits until the other had left to prod at the cake gently, carefully trying a bite.

hadn't baked it, but he was offended the other would be concerned over his cooking. It didn't take him long to find the right ingredients and to make the antidote. Though mint bunny kept insisting that it

wasn't quite right he ignored the little creature. He brought the pouch upstairs and made a tea out of it with the kettle that had just boiled. "Here. Should work."

had been concerned for his cooking skill for a long time now, it shouldn't come as a surprise anymore. He does finish off he piece once he tastes it, blinking as Arthur comes back. "If you made that, it was

really good!" he compliments, smiling at him. He hifts in his sseat a little as he spots the pouch, hoping this was his magic cure.

hands him the cup of tea when he was done and smiled. "I didn't... here drink this. It'll make you older."

hums softly, smiling a little. "...welll, it was still good then," he grins, accepting the tea and blowing on it to help it cool a little first. "Will it work right away? And do I have to drink the whole thing

to be effective...?" he asks curiously.

shrugs a bit, "I don't know. I'm not a fairy god mother. I just make it. Drink all of it."

laughs a little at that, nodding. He pauses, setting the cup down a moment before motioning for England to lean down, as if telling him a secret.

frowned at that staring at him. He wasn't sure he trusted him... he shifted to lean down though. "What?"

smiles, pulling him in and giving him a big childish kiss on the cheek. "Thank you~" he says sincerely, before turning to start sipping his tea.

pulled back quickly at that and huffed a bit. "Yeah yeah," he went and poured himself a cup of tea and sat down to drink it.

((not the same tea, right?))

((I think I'll have make a mistake, should be normal tea.))

hums softly, sipping at his tea and hoping it worked and didn't turn him into a frog or something... that'd be right up Arthur's alley after all. He doesn't notice Arthur pouring himself the wrong

tea, smiling at him as the other sat back down.

sipped at his own tea and leaned back in his chair. "So how'd you end up a kid in the first place?"

hums softly, and shrugs. "I hung out with little Ludwig... and then woke up like it one day..."

nods a bit, he'd heard of that happening to nations, but he hadn't been able to figure out what caused it. "I see."

smiles at him and shrugs. "I think it happened with gender too, to Gregory and Eliza..." he says, finishing off his tea. He was starting to feel a little tingling in his belly, hoping that was the start of

the transformation.

shrugged a bit as he tried to think about it. He was drinking his own slowly. It tasted a bit off though.

blinks as he freezes and understands what growing up would mean... and doesn't hesitate to hop off the chair and hurry to undress, getting off his child clothes just in the nick of time before he

transforms in a puff of smoke.... what's happened isn't quite right though...

watched him run off and shrugs a bit as he took his own tea to the living room with him. "Since your an adult again, you can find your own way home."

grins as he realizes he's taller, though upon running his hands over himself he notices that he's not quite full grown yet. "....Arthur!!!" he calls out, stressed. "It didn't work!" he huffs, following him

and looking very much like a teenager now.

had barely sat down on the couch before he felt oddly sick. He heard Francis shouting about something but when he looked up he his tea cup had fallen on the ground.

stomps in after him. "Arthur! I'm only a teen now!" he protests, before stopping in his tracks as he sees what happening. "...merde, are you alright?" he asks, approaching carefully.

blinked a few times before he felt like he was choking on smoke. In a cloud of smoke he changed. When it cleared he blinked again a few times. "Fuck me..." he felt fine,

his clothes still fit... more or less. They were tight in a few places. He paused to look himself over and flushed darkly. "I made a reversal spell...

should have worked fine for you, but I guess it wasn't strong enough. I think I drank it too."

jumps in surprise at the sudden smoke, eyes widening at the sight. He grins when the smoke clears, eyeing over the other. "...wow. Well now, this is definitely an improvement."

glared at him before hair fell in front of his eyes. "Well guess what, you get to wait out your teenage years now."

bristles at that, groaning. "Aww noo, you promised you'd help!" Well, maybe he never said it. But it was implied!

shakes her head at that as she got up, tugging her shirt down a bit. "No, no I will not help you anymore."

whiiiiines. "Come on Arthurrrr, Greg's going to tease me even worse like this..."

shakes her head, "can't. Used the last of what I had for that. I wont be able to collect more for a week or so at best. You might as well wait it out. I have to wait this out."

sighs dramatically, dropping down onto the couch and looking over his hands with a pout. "Ugh, I should've known better than to trust your black magic nonsense.."

glared over at him again as she got up and tried to fix her clothes. "It's normally reliable."

hums in doubt. "Apparently not," he huffs, crossing his arms. He was still naked.

got up and went up to his room coming back down shortly he tossed him a set of clothes. "Put something on you idiot."

makes a sound of surprise as the clothes are tossed at him, eyeing them warily. He'd have to change as soon as he got home, ugh. "Merci..." he hums, slipping them on anyways.

made a displeased sound at that. "Just get yourself home."

laughs a little, shrugging and standing up. "Thanks for nothing," he hums, disapproving of being kicked out.

frowned at him again, "oh gee you're welcome." She stared at him for a moment before sighing. "You can stay the night if you need to."

hums in debate, before shaking his head. "I'll leave you to your peace," he huffs, heading to the door. He knew she didn't actually want him there.

sighed a bit as she watched him head for the door before she got up. "Stay the night, I'd rather you got home safely and you wont in that state."

frowns at that, turning back to him and crossing his arms. "I'm not a girl Arthur, I'll be able to handle myself.."

raises a brow at that and frowns. "No you're a teenager, you wont get far on your own."

purses his lips in frustration. "This is like being a baby all over again," he complains, though flopping down on the couch. "Should I call you mum now?"

ignored that as she got up to get the phone. She was going to call for take out.

sighs, relaxing on the couch. He'd be grateful for take out instead of Arthur cooking.

needed to go shopping before she could cook anything. She called for Thai food before returning to the living room.

would be grateful. He has slipped his feet up onto the couch by the time she returns, debating whether to actually stay the night or not. "Will you let me give you a makeover?" he asks without looking up.

frowns a bit at that as she put the telly on. "... Why would you want to do that?"

hums, looking her iver. "Because you look frumpy now and I trust my taste better than yours."

folded her arms over her chest... of under it and frowned at him. "And why do you care how I look? It's not like you've ever cared before."

arches a brow. "Because you actually have potential to be cute now."
