The day was going okay, thought Tyler. Sitting at a table in the food court polishing off the last of his fries, the lithe and small purple drake casually watched the comings and goings of the other shoppers at the mall. With so many others all in motion, it was easy to observe without being seen; something made easier by being shorter than 95% of the population, children thankfully excluded.
Tyler Matthews was barely 5'1” tall, and with such a slender frame his mass was equally diminutive. Though decently fast and fairly agile, he hadn't the strength to fight out of a paper bag, or so his older brother David so constantly teased. David was conversely on the tall side of the spectrum, and at a lofty 7'3 he towered over Tyler by more than two whole feet. The fact that David was heavily muscled from all his sporting activities and weightlifting only made the side-by-side comparison all the more obvious...and disheartening for Tyler.
David meant well...generally, Tyler allowed as he turned his head to watch a family haul their children past the cookie stand, taking a slurp from the straw of his soda. This morning had the barrage of the usual “short stuff” “tiny” “baby bro”(emphasis on baby) comments. It was nothing new, but in their brief morning exchange David made no mention of, and therefore must have completely forgotten that it was Tyler's birthday today. A major milestone in anyone's life and thus far nobody had even acknowledged it, if they knew it at all.
Though he had wished for it to be special, and it wasn't very exciting, neither was it bad since luck seemed to be on his side. Nearly losing his parking space and already mentally threatening the Cadillac lined up to steal it, the offending vehicle inexplicably turned and kept going, letting his SUV get the prime spot. Ordering food, too, Tyler saw that they were preparing the wrong meal and started mentally cursing them for it, not looking forward to sending it back. Fortunately enough, they stopped and corrected their mistake. The extra ketchup packets were added before he could even ask for them. He did have a strange kind of headache, though, and the morning insults still occupied his thoughts.
Tyler was used to them, and though defeated in most size categories by his overbuilt brother, there was still one in which he, Tyler, was the bigger of the two. It made shopping for pants a bit of a chore, and public embarrassment was a real risk, but that little truth deep down gave the purple dragon something to smile about on even the worst of days.
You see, Tyler was gifted, nay blessed with an endowment that spelled “Hung” with a capital 'H'. On the impressively tall and broadly built body of his brother, David, it would still be regarded as oversized and garner whistles of appreciation. On a scrawny purple whelp barely chest high to most high schoolers? It was downright massive, bordering on the obscene in a way that was far from undesirable. His balls were proportionally huge if not oversized even in comparison to the rest of his endowment; while running was a dangerous activity, they made for very 'productive' nights at home. You'd think I'd have bigger forearms, Tyler mused, with as much work as it took to-...
Just then, through the crowds and motion, Tyler spotted someone he knew, near the junction where the food court opened up into the mall itself. It was...
