Kiddie AU - Post growth spurt

[sliceitwithwind]

It'd been a week, but Dilan...was nowhere near used to his new size. He kept banging into walls, doors, low hanging objects. Anything dangling from the ceiling, and he kept forgetting how wide his shoulders were as well. It was driving him insane.

Not to mention the fears that his size and new, distinct lack of "cuteness" meant that he was hideous looking. He wasn't ready to go back to college, not while still recovering from the agony of the growth spurt, so he was curled up at home trying to get used to himself. Braig had needed to go back and pick school work up for the two of them, trusting that Aya would take care of Dilan until he got back.

Dilan was curled up on the back porch with a couple of blankets and a book. And a protein shake the size of a monster slurpee cup.

Aya was thirteen, which wasn't that far off from eight really, so of course she had to start touching him. Touchy touchy touchy touchy! "Strangers are always weird. I bet you get a lot more girlfriends now since you're obviously grown!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"I don't need a lot more girlfriends! I like the ones we've got!" Dilan pointed out, "Quality over quantity."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Yeah, but you've got more now than you did in highschool, and what if you guys decide to expand again? You guys date in crowds!" She blamed Braig really, he was the dramatic one.

"Besides, aren't two of them getting doctorates soon?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Well, yeah." Dilan said, rubbing the back of his head, "But you never know, they might break up with me."

[mitochondriaaya]

"If they do they're idiots," Aya snorted. "They like you, tall or not!" That was the way dating was suppose to work right?

"That's the way I'll think when I'm dating anyway."

[sliceitwithwind]

"Yeah, but if they thought I was sexy small, they might not now that I'm big." Dilan pointed out dryly, "Braig's pretty small too. I'm in a whole different class than I was."

[mitochondriaaya]

"So? Sweep them off their feet and convince them you're sexier now!" Pro-active romance! "You know you're awesome, don't wait around for them to figure that out, show them!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"We'll see." Dilan was not the most confident of the three of them, no. "Can we just finish shopping?" Talking about sex things with Aya was weird.

[mitochondriaaya]

Yeah, well, she'd start thinking it was weird too once the hormones hit her a bit harder! "And yeah. Did you see the winter coat section? Think they have any sizes that work?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"We can check." he said dubiously.

Rightfully so. Nothing would close around his shoulders, no matter how many he tried on.

[mitochondriaaya]

Aya kidnapped a sales person to hunt for larger sizes, and failing that suggest a place where they could get clothing that fit! "Well, at least the store he says isn't too far? We can walk there." It was near the mall! "And the surf shop here should have the wetsuit we need though, you know they're well stocked!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Yeah." Dilan shook his head, "Don't be surprised if I have to get a regular swimsuit and order a wetsuit, okay?"

[mitochondriaaya]

"Okay, I just wanted you to be able to swim when it gets cooler too..." she fretted a little but what he said made sense really. "Not Hawaiian shorts though? Please?" BRAIG WAS ENOUGH!

[sliceitwithwind]

"C'mon, it'd make Braig happy." Dilan pointed out, "And it's not like I'm going to win any fashion shows."

[mitochondriaaya]

"But it's so...touristy..." she shivered teasingly and trundled their cart to the register. "And you would rock fashion shows."

[sliceitwithwind]

"I look starved. And fuzzy." Dilan pointed out.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Starved won't last long, we're feeding you up! And fuzzy is great!" Besides, had he seen the people on runways recently?! Those factors wouldn't disqualify him anyway! "Fine, you can have Hawaiian shorts."

[sliceitwithwind]

"Awesome." Dilan said, "You can pick out the wetsuit." This was a concession to her.

[mitochondriaaya]

"We can find one we agree on," she temporized. "I'm sure we can agree on something!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"You know I'll just go for black." Dilan pointed out. "Black is safe."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Alright, maybe black with some accent stripes," Aya laughed. "I promise I'll only go for things you look good in!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Good. I'm trusting you." Dilan said, hefting the bags, "Okay, which way to that big and tall store?"

[mitochondriaaya]

"We have to exit the mall...probably easiest at the West Exit?" Aya decided after a moment of thought. "Then we walk down the strip mall section a bit?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Lead on, monkey." Dilan said, "I got the bags. It's too bad you're still too young to drive."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Yeah, well, we like walking!" she pointed out with amusement. "You sure you want to end up with me behind the wheel of a car?!"
