A/N: Enjoy the shenanigans that shrinking pills can cause.

"Now all you have to do is eat these," the pharmacist explained, dropping a small blue pill into their waiting hands. "It shouldn't hurt, but you may feel numbness or tingling as it starts to take effect."
"How long do we have until it does?" You questioned.
"Oh, maybe like five minutes until it dissolves," she explained, scrunching up her nose. "In all the tests I've done, the pill takes five minutes to dissolve. But the human body may yield different results with how mercurial it can be."
You both nodded, stole a quick glance at each other, and swallowed the pills. You chugged some of the water she'd given you and Nagito took small sips.
Once you were done, you sighed and sat back, giving Nagito a shrug and a grin. "Guess now we wait."
He nodded, returning your look and crossing his ankles. "I hope everything goes smoothly."
"Don't worry none!" The pharmacist chirped, turning around to continue typing. "I've done hundreds of trials on this drug, and none of them ended in death or permanent injury! Everything should go just fine."
Hajime and Chiaki were hanging out together, sitting and waiting, until Chiaki's phone started to ring. She paused her game, pulled it out, and her eyes widened. "It's from Aida... I wasn't expecting her to call...?"
"Answer it," he urged, frowning in worry.
Chiaki answered it, and scarcely got the phone to her ear with a "Hello" before a panicked voice came through on the other end, "NANAMI! I need your help, the thing went wrong and now they're--"
Chiaki leaned forward, her own face falling into a frown. "Calm down Aida-san, tell me slowly. What happened?"
Hajime could only garner the words 'wrong' and 'tiny' before Chiaki was standing, grabbing his hand and dragging him off.
"Wh- what happened?" He spluttered, his face going pink from her tight grasp.
She ended the call and stuffed it into her skirt pocket before replying, "Something in the drug trial went wrong and now (l/n)-chan and Komaeda-kun are palm-sized."
Aida was pacing about frantically when the two arrived at the drug lab, and she cried out in relief and hugged Chiaki tightly. "Thank you for getting here so quick! They're over here, at least they should be--"
"(y/n)?" Chiaki called, looking around the table she led them to. "Komaeda-kun?"
"Over here," a tiny voice called out, and their attention turned to a messy corner. Sure enough, two figures, small enough to fit into Hajime's hands, were sitting amongst clipboards and pens and scattered papers, wearing what looked like blue latex gloves. (y/n) waved at them while Nagito just smiled.
"What happened to you two?" Hajime asked, peering over the table at them. "And... where are your clothes?"
"Well, some imperfection in the pill caused us to shrink," you shouted with your hands cupped to your mouth. Still, the quiet sound caused him to lean in more. "So now we're stuck like this until it totally gets flushed out of our systems."
Chiaki turned a worried look to Aida. "What did you give them to try?"
"It was only supposed to be a supplement," she explained, dragging her fingers through her unruly copper hair. "I don't know what I did wrong, but... apparently something in the synthesizing process went awry and now they're... like that."
Hajime sighed heavily, covering his face with his hands. "And... how long will it take until they turn back?"
"That's the thing, I don't know!" Aida exclaimed. "I would say when all parts of the drug is flushed out of their system, but due to their small size and the relative newness of it, I can't say!"
"You've done enough, thank you Aida-san," Chiaki patted her back and extended her hand to the two on the table. "C'mon, let's get you two back to try and figure something out."
She glanced over to where both of your uniforms were folded neatly on the chair. "Hajime, could you get their uniforms?"
"Uh-- yeah, sure," he said, unsure. He went over to grab them both.
"We'll get out of your way so that you can keep working," Chiaki smiled at the pharmacist. "I'll let you know when they grow!"
The rest of the afternoon went by as easily as it could with four Hope's Peak students together.
You weren't deterred by your smaller size in the slightest (relieved that you were at least the size of a Barbie), stubbornly trying to do things by yourself. Luckily your phone had been in your pocket when your clothes had fallen, so it was pretty much intact. It took a while to punch in your passcode, but once you were in you scrolled through your missed text messages. Nagito sat nearby and watched you work, seemingly fascinated with how your eyes darted back and forth.
Hajime and Chiaki were relieved that it was so easy to look after you and just sat around your room, finishing up their homework. It was a peaceful atmosphere when you finally sat back, bored with your phone.
You looked over at Nagito, who smiled at you. "Hey, wanna try to get at my snack jar?"
"What do you have this week?"
"(favorite candy bar)."
"Sure." He got up with you and the two of you walked over to the head of your bed.
Hajime and Chiaki had finished their homework a while ago and had fallen asleep leaning against each other. You smiled at how adorable they looked before getting to work.
You stepped onto Nagito's hand and grabbed onto the headboard as he lifted you up. You hoisted yourself up onto the wood and jumped to the desk, walking over to the square box at the corner next to the lamp. You opened the box, peering in with a smile at the aroma of your candy before shutting the lid and hoisting it into your arms. It was heavy enough to make your legs shake a little as you walked back over to the edge of the desk.
"Take cover!" You called in warning as you threw the box over. "YEET!"
You saw it go over the headboard and bounce onto the bed, the lid falling off and the wrapped candies spilling out.
You fist-pumped and jumped back over, doing a cannonball onto the covers.
Nagito was there to help you back up. "Are you alright?"
"Totally fine," you reassured, kissing him on the cheek. "Now I doubt we'll be able to finish a whole one, but we can take bites of one."
Half an hour later, Hajime snapped awake with a sharp intake of breath. "We forgot about them!"
Chiaki shared his alarm as she awoke, looking around. She saw your bed empty with your snack box spilling out onto it, and she got up from the chair. "Oh no, (y/n)? Komaeda-kun?"
Hajime got up to look for you too. When he peered over the bed, he choked. "U- uh, Chiaki?"
"What?" She looked to where he was pointing and blushed. "Oh. Looks like they... got back to normal."
The two of you were sleeping on the floor, parts of the latex gloves scattered about your bodies. Unfortunately, you were naked.
Hajime hid his face as Chiaki picked you up and lay you on your bed, grabbing your undergarments and dressing you. His face was so hot he could fry an egg on it when she instructed him to do the same to Nagito.
After some struggling, the two of you were dressed again, albeit a bit haphazardly. Your bow was slightly askew, and Hajime didn't even bother to put Nagito's uniform jacket on.
Chiaki put the candy back and put the box back on your desk (while finishing off the last of the open candy that was lying on your bed) as Hajime lifted Nagito to put him with you. He immediately curled up, shivering slightly.
"Well, guess that's the end of that," he huffed, wiping sweat from his brow. "Now what?"
"We should let them sleep," Chiaki advised as she put her phone away. "I've already notified Aida-san, so our job is done here."
She pet your hair down and smiled. "Sleep well, you two."
With that, she and Hajime gathered up their books and left the room, the door clicking shut gently behind them.
A/N: Please tell me what you thought, feel free to request more, and I'll see you guys later!
