Hazel And The Giant (G/T Fluff)

Chapter 2: It Wasn't Just A Dream?

Hazel woke up the next morning, momentarily forgetting the events of the previous night. It suddenly came flashing back to her and she chuckled to herself over how vivid and real her dream had felt.

Of course giants didn't exist, that was ridiculous! Although, part of her did think that the events had felt too real to just be a dream... She figured she'd just have to wait and see if he showed up during the day, even though she doubted that would happen.

She decided that she'd go for a morning walk through the woods. After all, they were pretty much her home now so she may as well explore them! After putting her phone, pencil case and sketchbook in her backpack Hazel began walking along a dirt path through the woods, admiring the beauty of the nature that surrounded her.

She walked for what felt like ages until she was forced to stop when she came to a steep drop that looked like the edge of a cliff. She looked down and saw that the forest stretched on for even further and from her current perspective she could clearly see the vast green and how it dissappeared into the distance.

Hazel sat on a large rock close to this drop, admiring the beautiful scene and grabbing her sketchbook to draw something inspired by it.

When Hazel was drawing or writing, she tended to focus entirely on her creative process and shut out her surroundings. She simply sat there sketching for the next hour or so feeling completely content.

All of a sudden she was completely distracted from her work by a familiar voice erupting from behind her.

"Hazel? What are you doing out here?"

Hazel froze for a second before slowly turning around to face the giant she'd spoken to the previous night.

"Wha- Oh my god! You- you're real? It wasn't just some really vivid dream?" She stammered, staring up at him. Unlike the last time she saw him, she was now looking at him in broad daylight and in a much more wide-awake state of mind.

Brian nodded, trying to stifle his laugh, "Yeah, I thought you knew it wasn't a dream! I just went to your balcony but you weren't there, how come you're out here?" He asked, kneeling down in front of her.

"I just- um- it's a nice day out and- and I wanted to explore the forest a bit and d-do some art!" She explained, grinning awkwardly, "S-sorry I just, well, I just kinda wasn't sure if last night was just a really vivid dream because of how late it was and-"

"Hazel, don't worry about it," Brian cut her off, gently reassuring her, "I almost didn't believe it myself either!"

They both chuckled together for a second, both secretly admiring one another.

As Brian was the first giant Hazel had ever met, she couldn't stop staring up at him. The way his brown eyes twinkled in the sunlight along with how smooth his long brown hair looked stunned Hazel and due to his size she could see all of these aspects of his appearance in incredible detail.

Although Brian had met other humans before, Hazel was the first one he had seen in quite some time and he was also in awe of how tiny and adorable she was to him. From her rosy pink cheeks to her nervous yet excited smile, even the smallest details of her face still stood out to him.

"So, um," Hazel suddenly spoke, breaking the silence after realising she'd been staring at him for an amount of time that felt like way longer than it probably was, "What's it like, living out here in the woods? Do you ever get lonely or are there other giants?" She asked, genuinely very curious about Brian's life.

"It's pretty nice living here, I do have my own cottage that's been here much longer than your house has," Brian answered, "And I guess I get lonely sometimes but there are plenty of cute animals that like to stay by my cottage so I can't complain. There are quite a few other giants, though they don't live that close to me so I don't see them all too often..."

Hazel bit her lip for a second before asking, "Do you think you could take me to see your cottage?"
