Simoun: Aaeru/Neviril - Too Short
Title: Too Short
Author: DigiExpert
Fandom: Simoun
Pairing: Aaeru/Neviril
Rating: G
Request/Prompt: Height
Contains: a vertically challenged lunkhead
Word Count: 300
Summary: She wanted the chocolate, and nothing would stop her. Not even...high shelves
Notes: Some of this...is rather truthful :) I fell behind on doing these prompts due to many longterm projects. I figured I might as well finish out the round by completing what I hadn't.
She focused, concentrating on the sweet snack. She was tired and just wanted something to curb her hunger until later. Fingertips grazed the edge of the box, but did not yield any reward. Frustrated, she hefted herself onto the wooden counter, banging her knee in the process. A yelp of pain escaped her lips.
“What are you doing?”
She turned to find Neviril watching her, a bemused smile on her face. “I was… getting a snack,” she explained, knowing her face was red.
“We do have chairs you know.”
Her hand closed around the box and she pulled it down from the top shelf. “True, but…” she paused as she popped a piece of chocolate into her mouth and chewed.
“What?”
Aaeru swallowed. “I’m not some kid. I’d rather get it on my own. It’s not fun being so short you know.”
“It doesn’t usually bother you,” replied Neviril, taking a seat at the table. She watched as Aaeru slid off the counter and joined her.
“You don’t have to be tall to be an auriga. I can fly fine.” She held out the box of chocolate. “Want some?”
Neviril took a piece and broke it in half before nibbling it. “I guess so. Paraietta always had to bend her legs when she flew. You’re just the right height for a pilot.”
“But other things, like getting things off shelves, that’s harder. I’m too short. And I don’t always like to have to go find a stool or chair. I feel silly.” She squirmed as she felt Neviril’s hand on her banged knee.
“And so you bang yourself up instead.” Neviril rubbed the spot gently.
“Well yeah, but I get what I want in the end.” Aaeru grinned, chocolate on the corner of her mouth.
Neviril laughed. “Yes you do.”
