One Small Secret

[door opens]

Oh hey! You’re back!

*listener comments*

Yeah, I’ve been here for a while. I already finished up my classes this semester, so I’ve just been couch surfing for a few hours now.

*listener speaks*

Yeah, I guess I haven’t been outside for a while. Why, do you want me out of the dorm for a bit? ‘Cause I can gladly find somewhere to go if you want to invite someone over or something.

*listener denies*

No? Cool. So if nothing’s wrong, I’m just going to keep to myself.

*listener comments*

No, I’m not in the middle of anything. Do you need me for something?

*listener answers*

Grocery shopping? Sure, I’ve got some time. Text me whatever you want and I’ll just get you to PayPal me later.

*listener clarifies*

You want to go shopping, together? Why?

*listener dodges*

{skeptical}

Okay, I guess you don’t need a reason to come with me. Just seems, frivolous I guess.

*small pause*

If we’re going together, can we take your car?

*listener responds*

Yeah, you’d be the one driving! I don’t have my license, you know that.

*listener answers*

Alright, let’s go.

*pause for off-script driving*

Alright, we’ve got a pretty big list, we’ll probably need a cart.

*listener comments*

Here’s a loose one.

*small pause*

Doesn’t seem too squeaky. Let’s grab it.

*listener alludes*

You want to push the cart?

*listener comments*

No, I don’t have a problem with that, I just don’t know why you’d care.

*listener jokes*

No, I’m not going to ride in the cart! I’m not a child.

*listener continues*

I’m small enough to pass as one? Hardy har har, you’re comedic genius knows no bounds. Now if you’re done, let’s wipe out this list.

*pause for off-script shopping*

Okay, next is the milk. The cold stuff is just a few aisles over.

*small pause*

Here we are. Just a gallon of two percent. What’s next?

*listener teases*

What? Why would we get another gallon of milk?

*listener comments*

Oh, to grow big and strong. A classic. What got into you recently? Usually, you don’t make this many short jokes.

*listener asks*

No, I don’t mind them. My skin is a little too thick for that. It just seems out of character for you. Did something happen?

*listener denies*

Alright then. Let’s get some chips while we’re close.

*small pause*

Potato or tortilla?

*small pause*

Well, I guess I’d prefer potato, but really it’s up to you.

*listener conforms*

Alright. I’ll just…

(small sound of effort)

(sigh)

I can already tell with the mood you’re in, that you’re going to have a field day with this but, will you please grab the chips off the top shelf? I can’t reach them.

*listener grabs*

Thank you for…

*small pause*

This is the wrong bag.

*listener lies*

Accident, huh? Alright. Would you grab the yellow bag, please?

*listener grabs*

(sigh)

Ya’ know, I don’t think this is as funny as you think it is. Like, from a comedy standpoint, this joke was tired as soon as you grabbed the first wrong bag.

*listener comments*

Yes, I suppose I could have been more specific. Will you please grab the yellow, potato chip bag, that’s priced at four, ninety-nine, and is resting between the orange and red bags?

*listener grabs*

Thank you. And if you’d be so kind as to put the failed attempts back where they belong?

*listener places*

Great. When we get home, I’m sure we can talk about what’s got you in such a weird mood over our favorite chips and some bean dip.

*pause*

Ah, here’s the coffee brand we like. Let’s-!

*listener grabs*

Hey! You can’t just-!

(sound of effort)

Really? You’re just going to hold the coffee over your head? Come on, we aren’t kids anymore. And that’s the last box! Put it in the cart.

*listener comments*

Why? What do you mean why? We’re adults. We drink coffee just about every morning, and we’ve agreed to get this specific blend. This isn’t some massive trade deal, it’s coffee.

*listener teases*

Just-

(grunt of effort)

Give it!

(grunt of effort)

Oh, outstretched hand on my face. Just like a cartoon. Very mature.

*small pause*

Why are you even stopping me? You’ve literally never expressed a problem with the coffee before. Hell, you need it more than me. I’m not the one that needs to wake up at seven for classes.

*listener comments*

You won’t buy it so I won’t have it? Why? Why is it important to keep the coffee away from me?

*listener states*

It’ll stunt my growth? One, I’m a junior in college, my growing days are over. Two, that’s an old wives tale, and you’re living proof of my point. You’ve been addicted to this stuff since middle school, and you still tower over everyone we meet.

*listener teases*

No, you don’t just tower over me! I may be short, but it’s not like your average! If you were any taller, you wouldn’t fit through doors!

*listener comments*

Fine. Like I said, I don’t need coffee for the next few months. If you want to shoot yourself in the foot for a joke, then I won’t stop you.

*listener folds*

Oh, look who came crawling back to coffee’s warm embrace. Put it in the cart, we’ve got everything.

*pause for off-script payment*

Alright. We’ve paid. We’ve put the groceries in the back. And we’ve put the cart away. I’d say we’re ready to head back to the dorm.

*small pause*

Are you waiting to pull out or..?

*listener comments*

I’m too light for the passenger’s seat airbag? Okay, that’s pretty typical. I was probably too light on the way here too, but you didn’t comment then.

*listener speaks*

Oh, I don’t like that look in your eye. You’re about to do something malicious, aren’t you?

*listener states*

Sit in your lap? On the ride home? Yep, that’s pretty on color for you today. But even if we ignore the fact that I could just sit in the passenger's seat anyway, if we ignore that we could just move some stuff from the backseat into the front, and if we ignore that having two people in the driver’s seat is very illegal, why would I even agree to that?

*listener comments*

Because you won’t take me home otherwise. Wow, an incredible act of checkmate you got there, don’t ya’? Except for one small flaw. We’re only like thirty minutes away walking, and I’ve got nothing but time. You don’t have nearly as much of a hostage situation as you might have thought you had.

*listener holds*

Really? Even when I bring that up, you’re not budging? I’ll do it! I’ll just, walk home.

*listener goads*

(sigh)

Fine, I don’t want to walk. It’s way too hot out for that. But I don’t want to sit on your lap either.

*listener comments*
Tell you what. If you explain what’s gotten you in such a mood, I’ll sit in your lap on the drive back.

*listener questions*

Yeah, sure, I promise. It’s a deal. Whatever. Why have you been so weird today?

*listener states*

{nervous}

I left my computer open? And what did you see, on said computer?

*listener states*

Wow, almost ten years of hiding that, and I forget to lock my computer. Cool.

(sigh)

Yeah, I’m not going to act like I wasn’t reading the fanfic. And I’m not going to deny the similarities. I’ll just come clean.

(sigh)

I… kind of… really like height difference stuff. And we do have quite the pronounced height difference. Truthfully, you were actually my awakening into this kind of thing. We were like eleven at a park, and I stole your popsicle.

*listener comments*

Ah, you remember that day? Well, I’m sure you remember that after you chased me and took your popsicle back, you picked me up, threw me over your shoulder, then tossed me into a bush!

*listener laughs*

Don’t laugh, it’s not funny! You told me the bush was poison ivy! I was terrified!

*listener comments*

It doesn’t serve me right! Your popsicle was rightfully mine! I won the monkey bars contest!

*listener denies*

Don’t get me started! My point is, when you just ragdolled me, I felt something. It wasn’t sexual then but, I definitely liked it. You may remember that my choice of games changed significantly that day. Actually, I was always kind of worried you’d comment on it, but I guess the increase in, pick-me-up-and-hold-me stuff didn’t matter to you.

*small pause*

Nothing really clicked until I went through puberty. I heard an audio roleplay of, Tall Friend Dominates You, or something, and suddenly it all made sense. Ten years later, I’m reading some Werewolf X Childhood Friend smut, and you saw it. And you know the rest.

*listener comments*
No, I’m not embarrassed. I actually feel kinda good. I was hiding that from just about everyone for years, and now… well, it’s a weight off my shoulders. I just hope you don’t think it’s gross or something.

*listener admits*

You like it?

*small pause*

Of course, you do. Wow, I’ve really been blind, haven’t I? All the teasing, all the looks you’ve given me, you like being bigger as much as I like being small, don’t you?

*listener confirms*

(chuckles)

Do I still have to sit in your lap, or can we talk about this from separate chairs?

[engine turns over]

Thanks for not making me break the law. You’ve always been really good about not pushing me too far.

*pause*

So, do you like me, or do you just like that you’re taller than me?

*listener states*

I… I really like you too. But… well we’ve been friends for so long and I don’t want to lose that.

*listener questions*

Yeah, I think I love you. You’re tall, and that’s nice but, you’d still be a knockout if you were shorter than me. And beyond that, you know me so well, and I trust you. So, I’d really like to pursue a romantic relationship, if you’d be okay with that.

*listener agrees*

Really?! Date? I know you just said you liked me, but I thought that was more of a politeness thing. You actually want to date me?

*listener confirms*

Well… well, I don’t know what to say. Yes? Do I have to say yes when I’m the one who offered? I don’t know. You’ve always been the one who actually tried dating, I kind of just waited for someone to find me.

[engine turns over]

Oh, we’re back home. So, is something different now? Like, we still have to unpack the groceries but then… do we go straight to the bedroom? Do we move our beds into one room now or..?

*listener chuckles*

Don’t laugh at me! I’ve never done this before! I’ve been too busy having a crush on you to engage with other people!

*listener states*

Start with groceries, and see where we go? Okay, that sounds good. And I guess I trust you to do most of the decision-making here.

*small pause*

Umm… Can we kiss? Just once? I’ve never actually kissed someone before. At least, not like, an on-the-lips kiss. So I-!

(kiss)

Wow, that was better than I ever imagined. Can I… have another?

*listener states*
If I put the groceries away? Absolutely!

(kiss)

I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of that.

*listener moves*

Hey, where are you going?!

*listener speaks*
Inside? But we still have groce-! Oh, I did agree to that, didn’t I?

*small pause*

Alright, but I’ll be in soon! And I want more kisses!
