ohhohhoh zoyalai height difference!!
omg ok so
ms zoya nazyalensky, storm witch, commander of the second army, queen of storms, is very very short
this is not self projection she’s smol and scary ok
now with zoya being short. shorter than genya. shorter than p much everyone. she is tiiiny compared to nikolai.
she makes up for it with three feet of pure spite but still he’s a tree
now to counter this she wears like six inch heels everywhere (now she just reaches up to his chin and he loves coming from behind and wrapping his arms around her, resting his chin on her head, brushing her hair, and shes just so content)
anyway zoyas so determined to be That Much taller compared to nikolai that sometimes he’ll wear boots with heels on em just to piss her off
he trips an falls on his face five minutes in but the look on her face was worth it
also zoya being short means nikolai carries her (which !! she totally !! doesn’t want him to do !! omg !!) but secretly she rly likes it and he’ll do it at such random times, if she seems a bit tired he’s like uP YA GO and zoya is absolutely terrified of heights so she’s holding on for dear life which nikolai finds very amusing
he gets punched tho on more than one occasion. just cuz.
also if they’re working late and zoya falls asleep on the couch, he’ll pick her up bridal style, and if she’d half conscious, she’ll just cuddle into his chest and he finds it so adorable
he does this a lot, and sets her in bed, tucks her in and adds like four blankets so she’ll wake up cocooned with a ton of them and she’s just?? wtf nikolai?? but then he’s just got his arms around the giant ball of blankets that contains zoya so she rolls her eyes and smiles
also if they’re out somewhere nikolai will come up and rest an elbow on her head just to tease her and she will absolutely smile sweetly at him before zapping him with electricity (which yes i believe she has developed the ability to create small electrical shocks through her fingers and. boy does she use em.)
zoya has to get up on her tip toes to kiss him and nikolai still finds it adorable usually he just carries her mid-kiss which she totally !! doesnt like !!
on that note zoya sits on counters a loT, ok? counters, tables, anything- and she can meet his eyes properly which shes ridiculously proud of
also forehead and nose kisses ✨✨
anytime zoyas upset she’ll kinda scrunch up her face an nikolai will just kiss her nose
they literally cannot function without each other
if one of them has been away for too long nikolai will always end up running up to zoya and spinning her around before pressing a kiss to the top of her head
your honor they’re in LOVE
