Fifty-Three: Trapped

Darrick clearly wasn't thinking straight as he found himself storming through a humans home at his smallest size until he found Tess upon the porch he'd seen her standing on earlier. Grabbing her arm he pulled her toward himself then snapped his attention back to this blonde dude, who'd been all handsy with his girlfriend before when waiting for her out front. He felt an overwhelming urge to grab this guy and strangle him, he knew he could but instead reached for Tess, in one easy motion he lifted her up over his shoulder and carried her out the front door slung over him like a sack of potatoes. She squirmed a little at first but could probably tell he wasn't about to put her down.

He ignored the stares of horror and shock from the other humans, instead taking long strides to get out of there in a heartbeat. Being butt naked he hurried over to the hills of clothes that he'd shrunken out of. He didn't care he was naked, didn't care for the humans opinions on him. He was too angry to care

He swallowed that anger as if it was a fire-seed and forgot to drink something cool, and so it grew inside him until it came out as hot as any dragon has ever flamed... on the person he loved most. Her eyes reflected up at him, how his fire burnt her to ash. She usually loved his sparks of passion, the way he sizzled for her even in the rain, but that inferno was more than his heart could manage.

"Who was that! Why was he kissing you!" His voice was louder then he'd ever shouted before, gripping at her wrist he could feel the fragility of her bones in his fingers. He could've broken her arm, snapped it like a twig but was able to let go once seeing her wince. He knew it wasn't her fault but he couldn't help the anger, from what he could tell he was very jealous. If he could see himself he knew he'd be red. She was like a little bunny in front of him, so small he could cuddle her up in his arms. But he couldn't calm himself, felt like crying and yelling.

"N-no one." she stuttered, pulling her arm to her chest where a red hand mark had been left. His eyes narrowed and then snapped back toward the house, humans, so selfish sometimes. He could see as they scattered from the windows having been spying on him. How dare he kiss his girlfriend, bringing his arms around her he quickly grew until she fit in the palm of his hand. He didn't waste a second to pull his clothes back on and set his tiny girlfriend in his pocket, not asking if it was okay first as he set her inside and turned back toward the smaller home before his feet. He ignored her squirms and shouts of protest, instead sealing her in by simply buttoning up his pocket

His fists clenched, knuckles turning white at his side. he kept his anger grounded to not crush the home into splinters. But instead he hurried to leave, heading to his house. Ignoring the security guard that was staring at him as if he were about to eat little Tess

~~~

Stepping into his room he pulled the garage door down behind him, moving around to his bed he reached for his tiny girlfriend and retrieved her from his pocket between his fingers. She was delicate, he knew that but he dropped her down onto his pillow and moved away feeling every inch of his body burning with a deep pit of anger. Frustration. Hurt but also confused. He knew she hadn't kissed him, had seen her push that kid away but he couldn't help it. His chest twisted, looking down at her small body he had to turn away and moved to his cupboard. Ripping his shirt off, he chucked it to the side of the room to then retrieve a clean shirt. He didn't know what to say, didn't know what he should do. Surely if he were to speak he'd just get angry all over again.

He was so mad, he should've punched that kid in the face but he would've probably killed him. He'd Learnt to not hurt smaller people ever since he was a kid, he wasn't about to hit a weak human. He wish he had now as he felt tears prick at the corners of his eyes, burning hot, he kept his back to Tess so she wouldn't see but she could probably tell he was upset. Pressing his hand to his face, he let out a huff of frustration before finally turning. His chest was still bare, his clean shirt held loosely in his hands still.

Moving over to the bed, he takes a seat on the edge being careful of Tess who was sat in a ball on his pillow. He had to be calm, he didn't want to scare Tess but he couldn't help the emotions he was feeling in that moment. To see your girlfriend kissing another dude.

...

"I didn't mean to yell" Darrick spoke finally, his voice low now compared to when he'd yelled at her earlier. Keeping her head behind her knees she didn't want to even look at him, felt guilty and scared to even face him. She could hear as he leant to the side of the bed, closer to her til she could sense his entire being leaning over her where she had been discarded on his pillow

"Tess?" Darrick spoke again over the silence, gentle with her but she didn't want to face the truth, couldn't bare look him in the eyes. Her fingers grazed over her arm where he had held her in his deathly grip, already bruising purple where his large fingers had grappled her "who was that?"

She shied away at the question, keeping quiet she wanted to cry again like she had in the pocket earlier. Maybe Darrick had heard her but she couldn't help it, a giant boyfriend when angry wasn't like a normal argument. She could feel the anger, welling and hot and if she were to make a wrong move she knew she'd be so easily scolded. She was scared as hell to tell him who Chris was because she knew that'd make Darrick angrier. She wanted to bleach her lips, felt disgusting and needed to be cleansed from the memory of Chris's lips against hers

"I'm being serious Tess, stop acting like a child right now" he snapped and she felt her heart leap, shocked at the tone of his voice. She didn't mean to whimper but a weak sound left past her lips. Groaning in frustration, Darrick shifted on the bed making the springs groan and she was grabbed from her position on the bed, her limbs being scooped up into two warm large hands and he lifted her toward his face. For the first time she was scared of the look on his face, his jaw was set into a hard line as he clenched and unclenches his jaw. His brows drawn together and she could've sworn she could see a vein in his forehead.

Pushing herself back, digging her heels into the palm of his hand to push herself away from the face that filled her vision. She couldn't tell if she was blushing or if it was the heat radiating from Darrick. Her mouth opened and closed, gasping in short breaths as her heart rate lifted higher into her throat. She didn't know what to say, didn't know if she shouts, admit that it was her ex, or to lie to darrick

"Tess" the giant boy spoke lowly, from what she could tell he was trying to intimidate her. Maybe he meant it or not but she felt incredibly insecure sitting within his giant hands, tiny compared to his fingers that curled behind her back and keeping her in his hand like a fleshy prison looming over her.

"He's j-just Jamie's friend. He was drunk and just kissed me. I told him not to but he didn't listen" she lied, curling away from Darrick who's brows lifted up his forehead at her answer then his features followed by softening. Then as quickly as his features soften his face became hard again as he turned, moving back to his bed where he sat down, Tess instinctively reaching for his finger to hold onto for support.

"Of course hes Jamie's friend" he snapped, annoyed and brought her down onto his chest "I shouldn't have let you go to his house, I knew he was upto no good" crawling onto his chest from his palm, she felt uncertain and on edge as she sat down on the expanse of his bare chest.

"Jamie didn't do anything.." she spoke softly and Darrick lifted his head to look at her, his brows furrowing

"Trouble always seems to follow when your around them humans.." he huffed and rests his head back onto the pillow "sorry.. I didn't mean that" he grunted and brought his hand around her back to lift her to his face to leave a kiss to her body "I don't want to see you kiss anyone else, your mine remember" he spoke as if she were an object he'd claimed for himself

Her skin crawled a little at his words, the kiss sending goosebumps down her entire body. Looking up where she was held within his hands, his eyes were strong and set upon her instinctively, watching her every move. Waiting for her reaction, she brought her hand to her cheek as she felt a blush overcome her but that didn't stop the racing in her heart.

"I-I won't.. I'd like to go home now Darrick.." she spoke soft, turning her gaze down she just wanted to hide in her sheets til everything was forgotten.

"What? You can't be serious. I think you should stay with me tonight" Darrick sat up, keeping her firmly held within his grasp as he moved to get up. Eyes widening she watched as he moved across his room, setting her down on his desk so he could sit over her

"I~ I really should be home" she shifted, watching Darrick as he leant his head massive down onto his arms til they were eye to eye.

"No, stay with me" he hummed deeply, brows drawn together a she watches her closely looking a little hurt that she wanted to leave but also a bit annoyed

Tess looked to Darrick as he looked down at her on his desk, moving out his hand his to cup her body, his thumb grazed down her arm, moving over her back slowly as if coaxing her to agree. She felt uncomfortable, intimidated but also didn't know how to say no.

Austin looked at his newly accustomed cage that decorated the top of his desk, smiling gently to himself as he ate a bowl of cereal from his bed. Lenny, shrunken and small say within the cage with his forehead leant up against the cool bars looking defeated and stupid. Austin couldn't help smiling to himself each time he looked over at the runt, he was bathing in his glory as if he'd one big at the casino.

"Don't look so smug. I'll get out of here soon and I'll put you in hospital for good" Lenny peered through the bars, finding his remark boring and outrages for someone his size and suddenly Austin couldn't help but roll his eyes as Lennys confidence grew further even when small.

"I wouldn't be saying that to someone who could literally crush you right now. I thought you were smarter then that Lenny" Austin scoffed, watching the tiny Lenny from where he sat. He couldn't wipe the smile from his face, high on power and being able to tease Lenny was too easy

"I would rather you actually crush me to death then sit on me again" Lenny grumbles, looking dishevelled where he sat in the confines of his pet sized jail

"Is that a request?" Austin irked, smirking he placed his bowl of cereal to the side of the bed, moving to get up from where he sat just to tease the tiny bit causes lenny to push further away into the cage instantly with fear

"No! Don't fucking touch me" Lenny shouted, tucking his legs up to hug to his chest "I'm not dying like this" Lenny murmured curses under his breath, austin raising his brow curiously down at the scared Lenny. He'd never seen him so scared before but he didn't really care

"Then get comfortable. I've got a doctors appointment today so Jace will be minding you" Austin spoke as he moved around his room to grab his shoes, socks and pants. Pulling them all on slowly, not really caring if Lenny was looking at him as they'd changed before in the Backnott locker rooms.

"Jace! Oh god couldn't you get anyone else" Lenny whined, grunting softly as Lenny pushed himself further into the corner of the cage to hide against the metal bars.

"He'll be here soon, don't worry I'm sure you'll be fine" Austin smirked as he grabbed at his jumper, shrugging it over his head, being careful of his injury. Looking at Lenny, seeing him frowning he rolled his eyes again " What? Would you rather I leave you with Darrick?"

"No.. but Jace isn't any better" he rubbed at his small arms as Austin crouched down to peer down in through the bars. Austin couldn't care less what happened to Lenny but he wasn't about to leave him with someone who was gonna kill him. Austin had more morals then others, even though he hated Lennys guts he didn't want him to die just yet. He knew Jace would probably not hurt Lenny let alone touch him, he hoped. He hoped he wasn't making a mistake, he wanted to have more time alone with Lenny later to tease a bit more. Who knew maybe Lenny and Jace would finally hit it off.

Soooo it's an update sorry for such a long wait.
