She kisses the top of his head, burrowing her nose in his hair.

"I love you."

[insideler]

She squeezes back and offers him a piece of candy.

He refuses it but kisses her shoulder.

*puts muffin back in basket*…Can you talk?

"Yeah."

[insideler]

The bag of candy she had brought along, she now sets on the coffee table so she can wrap her arms around Once's thin form. "What's up?"

He shrugged and squeezed her.

"Knock knock. I bring tidings of candy and blue-headedness."

He hugged her and pulled her down on the couch.

[insideler]

She laughed. "I'm glad I got the right size!"

He wiggled his foot. "Yup, fits just right."

[insideler]

"Even more of a giant than you already were."

"Giant times two."

[insideler]

"They're for you, silly! You can wear them whenever!" Mini grinned. "Which pair first?"

"The glittery one." He slips his shoes and socks off, and tugs on the heels. "Beautiful. I am a giant."

[insideler]

"Do you like them?"

"I love them can I wear them now?"

[insideler]

"I'm thirty-one, time for a my midlife crisis."

[insideler]

"Hey! Thanks! I-- What's in the box?"

"Oh my god."

"OH MY GOD."

[insideler]

It's your birthday? Happy birthday!

"Thanks, pal," he smiled wide.
