Keeping A GIANT Secret (DNF)

Ch 5 - Treehouse

5 Years Later

"HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY!" his family cheered as George giggled. He blew out the candles and everyone clapped

He turned 10, now goes to 6th grade, and thank God his birthday is on a Thursday. He thanked his family as his mother gave him his gift

Jasmine: Here you go, Georgie!

George: A phone?! Mom! You shouldn't have!

Jasmine: I know, but you've been behaving well, and you started to talk more. What's with the sudden change?

George smiled as he wanted his mom to ignore the question. His sister gave him a bracelet as he smiled and hugged her

Once done, his father waited for George as he and their son had a walk in the forest

Tom: George, my gift is in here

George: Is it the gift that we're staying here forever?

Tom: That and this

George looked to see the familiar tree. It has a treehouse! George squealed and climbed on the ladders his father nailed on the trunk and noticed it was at the height he wanted it to be

He climbed down and hugged his father, "THANK YOU!" His father chuckled, "You've been asking for one, and you're old enough to live on your own here, but don't tell your mother or your sister. This is your spot to hide in case."

His father left him as George climbed back up to the treehouse. He thought of something, climbed down, and ran towards a nearby cave

He noticed it was empty. He was about to go inside when suddenly, he was picked up. He yelped as he noticed who it was

"Happy birthday, Georgie!" he chirped. The giant blonde was now older and grew taller as well. His clothing was still the same

He nuzzled the human with his cheek as George was squished into the cuddle. He giggled and felt the giant placing him down

He layed on his stomach and wagged his butt with excitement as George booped the giant's nose. "Wanna play, Clay?" George asked as the giant licked George's face and rolled on his back

George shook off the saliva as he said, "Wait! Before we play, come look at my treehouse!" Clay picked the human up and made his way towards the tree in which George and him in a way, met

He noticed the human climbed and was on the balcony of the treehouse. Clay bent his head to George's level as he nuzzled him and George began stroking Clay's chin as he began to purr

George: So, you're 11?

Clay: Yep! I'll always be older than you!

George: No fair!

Clay: I'm glad I don't have to worry about changing clothes

George: Though you do need to worry about washing the clothes

Clay: True, but thanks to my dad's spell, my clothes grow with me as I get older and taller!

Clay stopped and felt his heart ache. He missed his family, and has no way of going back home and the only thing he has is a human

He felt his eyes water as George jumped off the balcony and caught on Clay's white rope from the hoodie. Clay placed his hand below the human as he let go and landed on the giant hand

Clay cupped his hands and hugged the human as he stroke George's back and George was petting his nose and the bridge

Once calm, George heard his parents calling him. Clay placed him down, but before he left, George wanted Clay to lie down

The giant lied on his stomach and his chin rested on the ground. George walked towards his cheek and kissed it

Clay giggled as he poked George and nuzzled into him as George giggled. He waved goodbye and ran back home as he noticed his parents were arranging a party for him on Saturday

George liked the idea, but suddenly stopped as he remembered he was going to spend more time with Clay! He wanted to change his mind, but his parents already made the calls

He was late. He ran back outside to his treehouse and noticed the giant was there. He was waiting for him as George looked down

Clay lifted George's head with his finger on the human's chin to make eye contact with him. His eyes seemed troubled

Clay: What's wrong?

George: My family wants to make me a party on Saturday, but I promised I'd be with you more!

Clay: It's ok

George: But I want you!

Clay smiled as he kissed George's back. He noticed the human turning deep red as he gasped and covered his face

The blonde giggled as he did it again, noticing it made him redder. George climbed off and waved bye again as he took a shower and went on his bed

Sure, the party will be great, but what about Clay? Will he still be able to see him? Will the giant be seen by more? Keeping his secret was the hardest thing for George, but at least he hopes Clay doesn't get caught on that day
