Shortie

"I wake up to you on the floor of the kitchen in your pjs and a loud thud. Please explain"

Moonlight peered through the curtains of your shared room with Nate for tonight since he insisted. He claimed it was too late and it's better to just stay here for the night. If he was being honest or if he just wanted cuddles was beyond you. You peeled your eyes open still feeling Nate's warm presence on your back with his arms still wrapped around your waist and his head rested on yours.

You and Nate were occupied last night having a couples day which for you guys meant playing video games and once you guys were sick of being mad at each other for winning, singing and dancing to random music. Long story short you never got dinner so you were in the mood for a midnight snack. As you attempt to loosen Nate's grasp it just gets tighter. You exhale and grab your phone, attempting to pass time.

After a good ten-fifteen minutes you attempt to pry Nate's arms off of you again and succeed. Sliding out of bed you see your boyfriend begin to shuffle in his sleep, searching for your warmth. You quickly grab a blanket and place it in your previous spot on the bed. You stood and watched Nate stop squirming and begin to cuddle the blanket and see his body become less tense leaving a smile on your face.

You used your phone to illuminate the hall and stairs of Nate's flat and took small delicate steps, wanting to cause no disturbance. As you finally make it down stairs you decide to just have breakfast instead of having a late night binge. You look around for the simplest meal to prepare : cereal.

Nate kept the cereal on top of the fridge. Never before now did you realize what a misfortune that was for you. The height difference between you and Nate was definitely noticeable but he always thought that it was cute. Being short has its strengths and weaknesses, which there are more of are up to each individual, but as of now you are presented with one of the many weaknesses.

You tried to reach the cheerios on top of the fridge and just missed it by a few inches. Although you could just try to jump but you were really nervous about possibly waking Nate. Luckily the fridge is near the counter top. You backed away from the fridge and quickly grabbed a bowl, something that you could reach, and placed it on a table near you.

You raised your foot onto the counter leading along with the other. Slowly standing you reached the cereal of your choice and made your way down. On the way down you lost your footing and ended up on the floor and a box of cheerios and lucky charms broke your fall but the impact was still loud. Just laying there you could see the light from your boyfriend's bedroom turn on and Nate's foot steps quickly made their way to you. So much for not waking him up. You let out an audible groan in annoyance. "Y/N, is that you?" Nate's voice was still hoarse from him just now waking up. "Um, yeah. He finally got to the kitchen a confused expression on his face. "What?" You asked, not understanding his confusion. "Well I woke up to you on the floor of the kitchen in your pjs and a loud thump. Please explain."

You chuckled to yourself. "I got up early, I was hungry, tried to get cereal, I was too short for it." He stared at me with the same expression. "Still doesn't explain why you're on the floor. At least in detail." With a roll of your eyes you continue. "I attempted to climb the counter and may have lost my footing on the way down but don't worry," he put out a hand to help you up, "your cereal broke my fall." Gesturing to the crushed boxes on the floor. He pulled you in for a hug. "Why didn't you just get me ?" "I didn't wanna wake you." You said with a shrug if your shoulders. "You do realize I had to give you a blanket to cuddle so you weren't suspicious?" you stated which brought a smirk to his face.

Nate reached up and grabbed a box a cereal, handing it to you. You gave him a sour face and brought it to his table along with the bowl. "Well, your work here is done. Off to bed you go." You got up and began pushing him to his room. "Nope." He said planting down his feet and making his way to get a bowl. "I'm not missing out on midnight snacking Y/N." He ruffled your hair and grabbed the box. With a roll of your eyes you treaded over to him taking a seat. "Don't know how you see me being short is a cute thing." You took the box from Nate. "Well if you were taller we wouldn't be eating cereal at nearly one am. And you wouldn't need my help with nearly as much stuff." I blew my hair out of my face and ate a spoonful of lucky charms. "And you know I'm right." "Yeah yeah, you're just happy I'm not taller than you because of cuddling." "Oh yeah that too. But I love ya shortie!" He smirked. "Oh and also-" "Ughh!"

I think the saddest thing is this is a reality for me to a certain extent because I literally can't reach the cereal in my house because of how short it am so that's upsetting
