Hazel And The Giant (G/T Fluff)

Chapter 4: House Tour

As Brian showed Hazel more of his cottage, she began to see more of the magic that kept it so perfect for someone of his size to live in. From the huge crops in his back garden to the glass half-spheres on the ceilings of each room that lit up with a simple click of his fingers, everything in and around the cottage was perfect for the giant. He also went on to show her his compact yet large wardrobe that contained a small number of clothes that fit him perfectly, as well as what looked to be the most comfortable bed she'd ever laid her eyes upon.

Once he'd given her a tour of his cottage, he couldn't refrain from widely smiling at her adorable reactions to the things he viewed as normal, every-day objects. To him they were just regular necessities, but to her they were gigantic items that made her feel even tinier than just being with Brian did (a feeling that she strangely loved).

"So, do you want something to eat?" Brian asked as he took Hazel back into the kitchen and gently placed her on the counter.

Hazel nodded, eyeing up the huge carrot on the chopping board next to her. Brian noticed this and grabbed a knife to cut up the vegetable. He then opened the cupboard that seemed to Hazel like it was miles above her and tenderly picked up the smallest ceramic plate he could find in there (which was just about big enough to park a small car on) before placing a few roughly-chopped, small chunks of carrot on it.

He then repeated the process, but instead chopped bigger pieces and grabbed a bigger plate for himself. Hazel grinned up at him as he placed her plate on the corner of his plate (to make it easier for him to carry in one hand) and gently scooped her up in his other hand.

Once they were back in the living room and Hazel was back on the coffee table with her plate, Brian clicked the light on as he'd noticed that it was starting to get dark out. The two ate their food quite quickly, as they didn't have too much on their plates.

"Hazel, can I show you something outside?" Brian asked.

"Sure, what is it?" Hazel responded.

"It's just another part of the forest, it looks really pretty at night and I think you'd like it!" He grinned enthusiastically, placing his palm next to her. She clambered on and he lifted her towards the pocket of his shirt, "Is it okay if I put you in here for a moment? I want it to be a surprise and it's a bit of a long walk."

"Yeah, that's fine." Hazel replied, prompting Brian to gently tip her into the giant pocket of his plaid shirt.

From her new position, Hazel could feel each breath Brian took and his heartbeat was loud but soothing in her ears. In fact, she hadn't realised how tired she was until she finally had the chance to lie down in such a warm place. It was far from being the most comfortably-shaped place, but the soft material and the relaxing sounds of both his heartbeat and booming footsteps ended up lulling Hazel to sleep.

Brian felt Hazel snuggle closer to his chest and smiled. He didn't know for certain if she'd fallen asleep or not, but he secretly hoped she had as it meant that she completely trusted him. Once he sat down in the opening where he'd wanted to take her, he decided to just leave her asleep in his pocket for a little longer.
