A Giant, Tiny and Human Story

Just Do It

Matt POV

"Hey Matt, can I talk to you?" Nate asked me quietly as he got out of the sink.

"Yeah," I picked him up. Nate glanced at me, and then at the others, and then back at me.

"Um, somewhere else...?"

"Okay," I said and we went to the living room.

"What?" I asked.

"I, uh," he mumbled the rest and I couldn't hear it.

"What? You have to speak up," I told him. His face was completely red.

"I wanna, uh, ask Sam, uh, well, uh," I waited patiently.

"...to, like, out on a...uh, like a, y'know, alone on, like..." Ohhh. I think I got it.

"Except you're nervous?" I asked.

"Y-yeah. Wait, what?" Nate seemed surprised that I figured it out. I smiled at him.

"When asking out a girl it's fine to be nervous," I told him. He smiled up at me.

"How do you..."

"Don't worry about it. There's bigger things to think about right now," I told him.

"Just...don't worry about if she's going to say no. Where do you want to go?" I asked him.

"Um...a restaurant maybe," he answered.

"Dinner?" I asked.

"Mhm."

"Then just ask her 'Hey, would you like to go out for dinner with me sometime?'" I told him.

"O-okay," he said, turning to go back to the kitchen and then turning back.

"I'm nervous," he admitted in a whisper.

"Don't worry about what she's going to say. Just do it," I told him.

"Y-yeah. Just do it. Sure."

"Want me to carry you back?" I asked the trembling Tiny.

"Mhm..."

We went back to the kitchen, and Sam was waiting there.

"Sam, I-I have to ask you something."

"Me too," she told Nate.

"Both go at the same time," Jack clearly had something planned.

"You go first," Sam said as I placed Nate down.

"No, you can go."

"Should we go at the same time?" Sam asked.

"Fine," Nate agreed.

"Would you want to go for dinner with me?"

"Would you like to go out for dinner sometime again but on a date?" they gasped as they realized they said pretty much the same thing.

"Yes!" they jinxed.
