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.

"Yeah, but by the time mom and dad get here and we have food it'll be too late to swim." Dilan said with a bit of a sigh.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Not if we ask really nice for a late swim? My homework is caught up, chores don't need to be done I think? And my first class is actually study hall so no real need to be up early?" She held the door for him again before threading her hand in his dreads. It was like holding his hand when his hands were full!

"If we swim in the big cove there no fear of riptides you know, it's all calm and clean!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"We'll see." Dilan said, "I'm a little worried about swimming...I'm shaped differently, and it'd probably be a good idea to wait until morning."

[mitochondriaaya]

"We can stick to the shallows and the moon is almost full?" Aya offered softly. "I like swimming with just you guys. There's people there during the day. You don't want to though and I won't push!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Okay. I may just wade, but okay." Dilan said, lifting a hand full of bags to ruffle her hair.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Wading is fine!" Aya laughed and ducked her head under the ruffling. "I like wading! You like wading, and if I tag and run you might not catch me!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"That'll work, then." Dilan said, "Get the door?" Since the restaurant was right next door.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Got it! Table for four!" she informed the hostess. "Near a place to set bags?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Thanks." Dilan said with a sparkling smile for the hostess. They were guided to a good spot with plenty of room, where Dilan could see the door.

[mitochondriaaya]

That hostess was going to remember that smile Dilan! Aya busied herself tucking bags safely under the table then flopped down next to Dilan. "So, plans for tomorrow yet?"

[sliceitwithwind]

Yeah, he was going to cut swaths through the female population without realising it.

"Gonna go to the gym and start trying to build muscle mass again."

[mitochondriaaya]

And then he'd do it with complete cognizance! Terrifying wasn't it?

"Which gym? I can meet you there after school if you'll be there all day!" Or she could go home and grab food and bring it to him at the gym...

[sliceitwithwind]

"Mornen's." Dilan said, "They've got the best weight set."

[mitochondriaaya]

"I can show up with chicken from the Tavern?" Aya suggested. "And you promise to be careful? Maybe get someone to coach?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"Will do." Dilan promised, "I'll take it easy, I just...want to finish growing."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Yeah, and you'll bulk up soon too, katzu do that in what, a few more months past growth spurt?" Aya asked, trying to remember.

[sliceitwithwind]

"Yeah. Four or five." Dilan said, sighing.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Which is still loads faster than any other species!" Aya laughed and leaned against his arm. "I won't put on that much muscle in years! I'm jealous!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"You're never going to put on that much muscle, Aya. You're a human female."

[mitochondriaaya]

"I'm jealous." Aya had to say it really! "I could lift a car! Imagine that!"

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan giggled a little bit, and then put in the order for himself and Elcy and Yinsi.

[mitochondriaaya]

"See? It'd be awesome!" Aya laughed and placed her own order. "And then I'd run with the circus for a year or something before college."

[sliceitwithwind]

Dilan snorted, "You'd miss us." he pointed out, "And you don't really like circuses...too many people." Or maybe that was just him.

[mitochondriaaya]

Too many people did make her edgy, that was true. "Yeah, true. I'd just lift cars here. Walk off with tourist vehicles or something."

[sliceitwithwind]

"And then you'd end up with a record and it'd make it harder for you to be a cop." Dilan pointed out, munching on breadsticks.
