lets himself in. He figured they were at that stage of their friendship that they didn't have to act like strangers. He doesn't have to go to far when he spots a fluff of duvet and a small head. He inches

closer his face flushing at the realization at what has happened. He pushes a bit of the duvet away and he covers his mouth to keep from making any noise. He was so cute! Dio mio! Sooo cute! He eases down

beside the small figure and gently pets Francis fluffy hair. He was going to die with how cute he looked.

still curled up, half drowsy and not really registering until there's a hand in his hair. He yawns and stretches, rolling over to look at who it was blearily. "Toni...?"

nearly dies at how cute that was!! "Dios mio you are cute, Francis! I wish I remembered when you were this small." He's pulling the boy onto his lap to pepper him with kisses.

blinks as he's tugged over, quickly waking up as he realizes his small stature. "Ah!" he gasps, pulling the duvet with him... it's not like he had slept with pajamas, after all. "Oh no... "

he can't help but giggle as Antonio peppers kisses though.

's playing with his hair and pinching his cheeks. "Sooo...cute...Francis you were so cute."

giggles and tries to shoo his hands away. "Toniiiii," he whines. "Ahh, how old do I look? At least Ludwig got to be a teen first," he pouts, looking at his little hands.

blinks pausing for a second. "Ludwig's a cute kid too?" He's practically in a state of bliss at this news. "You look around six."

blinks as he realizes what e let slip, patting Toni's chest. "No no perv, leave him alone," he teases. He hums, looking down at himself with a pout. "I can't tease Gregory like this!" he laments.

pouts too. "But...he'd be just as cute as you..." He gives him a small smile. "It won't be for forever."

hums, shifting to wrap himself up in the duvet comfortably. "He's definitely adorable," he hums, knowing it was too late already.

helps him by fixing the duvet around him. "Do you have clothes for your size?"

shakes his head. "The closest I have might be some near ancient robes in the attic, but I'd be wary about actually wearing them nowadays," he laughs.

looks even happier, ecstatic. "I'll take you out shopping!~" He gets up and carries him upstairs. "First let's make you some makeshift clothes!"

can't help but laugh at Antonio's enthusiasm, clinging to him as they stand, dropping the duvet in favour of mobility. "I might have a t-shirt or something we can stitch up.... but not even my ladie's clothes

would fit me like this..." he hums. "And I dfinitely don't have any little pants."

smiles. "We can make you a little dress~ That would be ridiculously cute!"

hums at him. "Well, I'm certainly too young to be breched, if that were still a thing," he laughs, little fingers clinging to Antonio's shirt.

places him on the bed as he rummages through Francis closet for a small shirt they could use as a dress. "To bad they don't do that still, the dress stage was cute."

giggles as he's sat down, kicking his legs a bit as he lets Antonio do the rummaging. "You would have kept Lovi in dresses forever, wouldn't you?" he teases.

glances over his shoulder smiling. "He was so cute in a dress. Of course~" He finds a shirt and makes an aha sound before making his way back to Francis. "Arms up."

laughs and shakes his head at his friend. "It's a good thing that breeching was a thing then, for Lovi's sake," he grins, hopping off the bed and raising his arms to help put on the shirt. It was one of the

few t-shirts he owned, and it hung past his knees like this. "Hm... I need a belt, I think..."

tugs the shirt all the way down. "No need to fear! I found a great belt." He says wrapping it around Francis' tiny waist and fastening it so it looks nice. "I'll have to carry you until we get you shoes." He's

already picking him up and cradling him in his arms.

laughs a little, lifting his arms to let him wrap the belt on, and clinging to him as he's picked up again. "I think I could get used to this being carried around thing," he grins, clinging to him.

laughs. "It looks like fun." He's already out the door (after making sure he had locked it) and was heading to the metro to get to the infamous shopping district of paris.

giggles, happy to cling to him, especially since it was getting chilly out and he had no pants.

tries to keep him as warm as possible. He eventually makes it to the shopping district and makes a beeline to the first child's attire store in the area. Antonio sets him down inside the store and glances

around. "Where do you want to start?" He smiles.

lets himself be set down, wiggling his toes a little as he looks around. "Hmmm... shirts. Then I can match pants to them," he nods.

glances around and points to the left. "Farrr in the back."

nods, setting off towards there... though he's obviously slower than usual.

takes his time. He wasn't in a rush and it was cute watching him waddle over to the shirts!

makes it to the shirts, looking around and picking thing out to try on. "I don't even know what size I am..." he pouts, holding a shirt up to himself.

studies him for a second. "A small in children between the ages of 5-7." That wasn't creepy at all....>>

(( I don't even know if that's an actual size...haha. ))

blinks as he looks up at him, torn between impressed and skeptical. "Toni.... why do you know that?" he asks, arching a brow as he pulls out shirts of that size.

waves it off with a silly smile. "Lucky guess~"

hums doubtfully at him, but hands him a pile of shirts. "Pants next," he says, walking towards the next section of the store.

overwhelmed with the amount of shirts but manages to carry them without problem. "Same size as your shirt size. You have a small waist." He hums.

still himself, and he liked having choice! He nods, browsing the pants and choosing less of them... elastic bands were hardly fashionable. And after shoving those to him he picks out some other things,

grabbing a few not pink dresses for good measure... nothing really came close to his robes though. "Alright, I think I'm ready.

nods almost straining at the amount of clothes chosen. "Bueno...can we get to the dressing rooms...quick.."

grins up at him, pleased to have him to carry it all. "Oui, I suppose~" he laughs, wrapping a little hand around Toni's arm and leading him to the change rooms.

can't really see so he's glad for the guidance. He's even happier when they make it there and the attendant accepts all the clothes in his hands in one change room. Even though he'd much rather be in the change

room with Francis he remains outside sitting on a waiting chair.

laughs at the obvious relief on Antonio's face when the attendant takes the clothes, patting his arm and thanking him before pulling away to change. He'dd give Toni a fashion show to make up for the privacy,

soon coming out in his first outfit

.

waiting in anticipation and smiles when he comes out. "Very cute...but not really your style. Not completely anyway."

laughs a little. "Kids clothes aren't usually my style," he points out, debating a moment before agreeing with him and disappearing back into the room. He comes out a moment later in a different outfit.

nods at that. "Much better. And very very cute." He chirps brightly.

grins, twirling in a circle. "Mm... you were right about the size," he grins.

nods knowingly. "See, I'm good for some things."

laughs shaking his head. "Mhm, mhm.." he answers, turning back around to go change again. "Perv~~" he teases, though low enough the attendant wouldn't hear.

pouts as he watches him go.

wiggles his butt before disappearing into the change room and coming back out in a dress this time.

practically dies. "That looks really good!~ please tell me you're going to get that one!"

laughs, looking down at it. "I was hoping it'd be like my old robes, but it's not even close..." he pouts. "I dunno about it. Gregory already teases me about looking like a girl..."

smiles more genuinely. "All three of us know that you aren't. Humour him."

hums. "I showed up at his house in a dress while I was drunk before... I think he liked it..." he trails off, going back into the change room and putting the dress in a maybe pile.

laughs at that. He's not at all surprised. "How did he react?"

grins, peeking back out with another outfit on. "He seemed very enthusiastic~"

's lips quirk up having expected that. "Who wouldn't be."

laughs a little, showing off the cute little suit he had on. "I'm glad you agree with me," he giggles.
