Plot: Y/N is a lot shorter than Ted, and he tries to make it clear every single day that he has the advantage.

Reader Pronouns: She/They

~

It was morning time in Ted and Y/N apartment, Y/N being the first one up to cook breakfast for herself and her boyfriend. He was one to sleep in quite a lot, so she usually wanted to be nice and surprise him when he woke up.

While working on some pancake batter they read through the instructions, only to realize they were missing one of the most important ingredients.

Oil.

Huffing quietly, she began to look around the kitchen, but the last place it was seemed to be completely empty. Cursing a bit, they reached up and opened one of the cabinets, only to see the bottle of oil sitting right on the top shelf.

Motherfucker. It was obvious Ted had left it up there from the last time he cooked.

And poor little Y/N was way too short to reach all the way up there. She could try, but every attempt always ended up falling short.

Literally.

Grumbling and pouting to themself, Y/N glanced around, before spotting a stool by their table and getting an idea. Quickly she walked over and grabbed it, dragging it over to the front of the stove, where she then got on top of it, slowly standing up straight.

She wobbled and shook a bit, the stool obviously not being stable enough for her to stand on. It would just be quick, though. Just grab the oil, and get the hell down from there. Simple, right?

As they extended their hand our to grab the oil, though, the stool slipper right from under her, causing to let out a slight yelp and hold her hands over her face. Instead of feeling the impact of the floor like they excepted, though, a paif of arms wrapped around them, keeping them where they were.

"Well, goodmorning to you too, Y/N." Ted said with a small laugh. "I didn't think that as soon as I stepped into the kitchen I'd have to catch you?"

Sighing quietly, Y/N laid her head back against Ted's chest. "Morning, Ted.." She muttered quietly, before crossing her arms. "Could you put me down now?"

Laughing a bit, Ted gently placed Y/N back onto their feet, crouching down slightly to rest his chin on their head. "Well, someone's in a mood this morning. What's got you so angry?" He smiled.

Y/N just rolled her eyes as she glared at Ted. "I think you know, mister. That's not where I usually keep the cooking oil." She glanced at the cabinet, before huffing. "Or the syrup, either! If you weren't up breakfast would've been ruined!"

Ted just smiled brightly as he grabbed the oil and syrup from the cabinet with ease, not even having to get on the tip of his toes to reach. "Relax, I'm here now, aren't I?" He joked softly as he sat both items on the counter.

"You're a fucking- beanstalk." Y/N hissed through their teeth slightly, attempting to insult him somehow.

He smiled and leaned down slightly, planting a gentle kiss on her cheek. "And you're my little bean." He said softly.

Immediately Y/N's face lit up as she mixed the pancake batter together, letting out an aggravated sigh. "You're lucky I love you so much-"

"I'd be worried if you didn't." He said with a small laugh, before standing up straight. "I'm gonna go shower real quick, alright?"

Giving a small nod, Y/N turned the stove on and sat a pan down, using a bit of oil before beginning to cook the pancakes.

It took about 15 minutes before all of the pancakes were done, Y/N splitting them evenly onto two plates. One for Ted, and one for her.

They grabbed both plates after topping them off with syrup and a fork, walking into the living room and setting both plates down on the coffee table. They didn't bother to wait for Ted, beginning to eat theirs while scrolling through YouTube on their TV, just to see if they could find anything good.

After a minute or two Ted finally joined her on the couch, sitting down and grabbing his plate. He smiled a bit as he glanced at her. "You know, you don't gotta get up early every morning just to make breakfast. It's nice to sleep in for once."

Cuddling closer to Ted, Y/N smiled a bit. "But I enjoy it. Well, when the stuff I need isn't put too high, anyway."

"Hey, in my defense, it was there when I first found it." Ted said with a laugh as Y/N elbowed his arm.

The two ate together peacefully for a bit, Y/N just putting on some random podcast clips channel for them both to watch. When both of them finished, though, Y/N couldn't help but drowsily cuddle up to Ted.

Wrapping his arm around them, Ted gave a small laugh. "Someone tired?"

Shaking their head quickly, Y/N let out a small huff. "No! I'm just.. okay, maybe a little tired." They muttered into his arm.

Carefully Ted pulled her into his lap, immediately causing her to blush slightly. "Get some more sleep in. It couldn't hurt."

"But I just had breakfast- I'll be thrown off for the whole day." Y/N pouted slightly.

Ted chuckled softly as he gave Y/N a gentle kiss on her lips. "And I'll throw you over my shoulder if you don't get some rest, bean." He teased.

Huffing slightly, Y/N propped herself up on her knees, gently connecting her lips to Ted's. He jumped slightly at the sudden connection, but he quickly gave in, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Both of them stay connected for a bit until both of them pulled away to breath, only to soon connect once again. The cycle repeated itself a few times, before finally Y/N pulled away with a smile. "You taste like syrup." She giggled.

"I wonder why." Ted said with a laugh as he pulled her close, allowing her to rest against his chest. "Now, no more fighting it. Get some more rest."

Rolling her eyes, Y/N cuddled up to him slightly, a small yawn escaping them as they cuddled against Ted's chest. "Fine, fine.."

It didn't take long for Y/N to fall asleep against Ted, sleeping for about an hour before waking up again, wanting to continue the day.

And the next morning, she woke up early to cook breakfastnonce again. But like yesterday, a few of the cooking supplies she needed was in the top cabinet, the furthers away from her reach.

Almost as if Ted wanted her asking for his help.
