Varying Perspectives [G/T Oneshots]

5 - HANDS

I step out of the pantry when I hear her footsteps. I shut my secondary eyes and squeal, ecstatic. I'd never seen a Predator before, and never been held by any giant either. Probably due to my half spider body, six eyes, and face hand things. She walks into the kitchen, short curly hair bobbing around large ears, fox tail flicking, turning to the bench and moving something around.
"This is my chance!" I whisper, and run out to the centre of the space. "Hi!" I yell and she raises her head, having clearly heard my voice.
"My name's Alessandro! What's yours?" she turns full circle and spots me on the floor. Her ears flatten and she grips the bench tight.

"AGGH!" she screams, and bolts away. I sigh and lean on my front legs, frustrated. "That's NOT how it's supposed to go. Why didn't she try to capture me? Maybe I was too forward." I say to myself, fingering my claw necklace.
"I'll just try again, maybe she'll realise I'm not just a spider." I pick myself up and scuttle in her direction, only to be sprung upon by a large blur. The fox girl's hands push me to the ground, and I see her large golden eyes looking at me with surprise.
"That's what I'm talking about!" I cheer, looking up at her.
"You're a tiny? Not a talking spider?" she cries, suddenly retreating. I pick myself up brushing down my hair.
"Yep! I'm Alessandro the Wolf Spider, pleased to meet you." I introduce myself to her, but she doesn't look pleased.
"Please leave."
"Why?"
"Well, I really don't like tinies. Or spiders. I have slight arachnophobia."
Bitterness and anger fills my mouth at the words, and I rear up on my back pairs of legs, throwing my arms in the air. "Just my luck! I get to live with the only giant scared of me. Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have read those!" I head towards the pantry, feeling like killing something, when her clear voice cuts through my annoyance.

"Wait! I'm sorry, I just.. you weren't what I expected." she says and I turn back around.
"What do you mean?"
"Um." she twists a lock of her hair. "I read a lot of g/t fanfics, and the tinies aren't supposed to be so bold. Or half spider."
"Really?" I curl my legs in and sit, intrigued. "Cause I do too, if you didn't notice. Giants aren't meant to be so scared."
She smiles and extends a hand, her previously mentioned arachnophobia pushed somewhere deep.
"I'm Marina, pleased to meet you Alessandro." she says, voice shaking slightly, and I stand up at the sight of the appendage. I crawl onto her hand slowly, but confidently, relaxing in it.
"Getting a giant to pick you up is a step in the right direction." I whisper as she stands, holding me at eye level.
"Any other steps you'd like to mention?" she asks, and my cheeks flame.
"Oh.. you heard that.. right." I cover my hot cheeks with my facial appendages and close my secondary eyes. "Well, we should do things together, that would be awesome. And please don't refrain from picking me up unless it would make you uncomfortable." I mumble, and she raises an eyebrow, ears tilted forward.
"What is with you?" she asks, sitting down and placing me onto a glass coffee table.
"I.. um.. really like hands. And being picked up. And giants." I say, legs tucking in embarrassment.
"You're like a macrophile or something?" she seems invested in what I have to say, and I squeal on the inside.
"NO! I mean yeah, but, nothing sexual or anything." I say defensively, and she nods quickly.
"Alright then, well that's good news for me. I don't want to do anything gross like that."

"Can we eat something?" I ask, and she looks surprised at the shift in conversation.
"Don't you eat insects or whatever? You are half spider."
"My mouth's human Marina, I don't do bugs." I stick my tongue out and she grins, ears moving to the side as she relaxes.
"Okay then, what do you want?" she stands, and I look up at her towering form.
"Anything you want to make Marina." I wink a secondary eye and she jerks back.
"If this friendship means anything to you, you'll never do that again. It's really gross."
"Okay, okay. But wait till you see how I eat." I bare my fangs and my face-arm things and her ears drop. And for the first time, the giant rushes into the kitchen with a squeal, scared of her tiny companion.

Wanted to do something where the Giant was scared of the Tiny and these two evolved. Alessandro and Marina, some new people to ship >:]
Really excited for prompts 6 and 7!
And 50.. which I have already written.
