A/N- Person A is Alex and Person B is Hank. :)

Chapter Thirty One:

Hank knows he's tall.

He was taller then the other mutants in the mansion before he transformed into Beast. Nobody really cared or commented on his height. Nobody but Alex. The brunet wasn't really surprised, the blond didn't bully him about it, just little jokes about it that actually manages to crack a smile out of him. It might be one of he reasons why he loves him.

It does make him feel useful when one of them needed his help because they couldn't quite reach what they want. Which has him standing in the kitchen watching in confusion and amusement as he watches his boyfriend on the counter trying to reach for a bowl at the top shelf. 

He stifles a laugh as Alex curses when he only achieves to push the bowl further back into the cupboard. "Who the fuck puts the bowls on the top shelf?!" He growls in frustration and Hank was glad that he was close by because as Alex goes to reach up again, that was when he loses his balance.

"Whoa, easy Alex." He says as he wraps his arms around the blond and gently places him back onto his feet. "Sorry." Alex says while blushing and then huffing. Hank couldn't help but chuckle as the blond glares at the bowl that was out of his reach. Alex was at an average height but compared to the brunet, he was short. Hank loves their height difference, he loves holding him close and having to reach onto his toes to kiss him.

A light smack on his chest pulls him back to the present. "Hey, you're tall, Can you grab that bowl for me?" He asks and merely points at it instead of trying to grab it again. Hank was grateful that he asked this time. Alex was very independent and likes to do things on his own before asking for help.

 "Sure." He says and presses a light kiss to his golden hair before raising his arm and grabbing it. He easily hands it down to Alex and the blond takes it with a pout. "What's wrong?" He asks concerned and the blond places the bowl onto the counter.

"You could've at least pretended to struggle." He says and Hank laughs as he wraps his arms around his lover. "It's true." He says and Hank could only bend down to kiss him. "I love you." He says, still chuckling as he hugs his blond close. "I love you too." Alex says with a sigh then pulls away. "Finally, I can get something to eat." He mutters and Hank grins as he grabs another bowl. He can take a break from the lab, he was more than happy to spend time with Alex.
