Trip doesn't have a type. He likes attractive, down-to-earth people who he can joke around with and feel comfortable around. He doesn't care if you're short or tall, fat or skinny. But, if you are short, he would think he's adorable and it would be one of his favourite things.
He would love to go up behind you and just lean his arm/elbow against the top of your head or your shoulder. You'd roll your eyes, especially if he did it while on duty, and you'd shove him off and he'd just chuckle (which would be a beautiful sound, even if you were jokingly mad at him).
He would love, love, love that when you hugged him, your arms went around his torso rather than his shoulders/neck. He would just feel safe with your arms around his chest/waist, and he'd relish in being able to wrap his own arms around you and pull you close enough that your head rests upon his sternum.
Kissing him when standing would require you go to on your tip toes and for him to lean down, but it would quickly become muscle memory and you'd just be used to it. Your hands would either go around his torso or they'd splay against his chest where they'd feel his heart beating steadily within his ribcage.
If there were any comments about your size differences (and I don't think there'd be many if any, at least not from the crew) Trip would be quick to put the people in their place. Why did it matter that you were shorter than him? He loved you just the same, and it didn't make you two "look weird" as some might suggest. If you're a bit insecure about your height, Trip would reassure you every day that he loves you for you, and how tall you are doesn't matter to him. "You could be as short as a gator and I'd still love 'ya," he'd say, and you'd just tell him not to tempt fate because you never know what some kind of nebula or alien technology could do.
When you two moved in together, Trip would have to help you reach things at first, but eventually he'd rearrange stuff on the shelves so that you could reach everything you needed.
Trip's favourite thing would be sleeping next to you, with your body tucked against his, his arm either slotted around your waist or yours hooked over his. He'd love the feeling of being taller than you; it would make him feel important, like he could protect you if he needed to. And when you slept next to him, curled up in his arms, he'd just feel so damn lucky to have you in his life.
