Chapter #4Something else by: NVR   "Could we go outside and check out what fun things are close to your place?... You alright Tim?" Tyler asked after noticing you still looked a bit out of sorts. At least he had some clothes back on this time, but what made you disoriented was that he no longer looked bigger. Must have been your imagination, although that never happened to you before.
"Y-yeah I am, sorry, guess I just woke up a bit dizzy today.. But hey I'm not sick, sure, we can do that"
"Cool, thanks!" Tyler went to finish getting dressed and you sighed, hoping it was just a one time thing. There wasn't a lot to show him, but if he was going to live here and contribute with the chores he would benefit from knowing his way around. And this also gave you a bit more time to address the sleeping thing, if you wanted to address it at all that is. You were going to give him the spare room anyway, the only reason it shocked you was because you weren't expecting to see.. all of it. Once he was settled on the spare room with a closed room he could sleep however he wanted and you wouldn't notice it at all.. You shook your head realizing what was truly bothering you about all this, and just hoping you could forget about it.
The little tour didn't help your cause though, even if Tyler was still your little brother following you and making kind of silly questions with a naive puppy like curiosity, you noted his towering presence was certainly attracting looks from others that you weren't used to, and even cases of women flirting with him like the barista at the Starbucks where you took a little break. This only reinforced that slightly uncomfortable feeling you could now identify as insecurity, even if it didn't bother you that much for a couple of reasons, one was because you were kind of happy with your single life after your party guy era, and another was that Tyler didn't exactly seem interested either, which was a bit curious but none of your business. What bothered you a bit more was the attention he was getting after just one day of being around, which made you question yourself a bit about your own looks.
"There you go Tim, I'll invite you back as soon as I get a job, what is it? Do I have something on me?" Tyler smiled handing you the cup of coffee and tilting his head at your momentary expression. You recovered quicker this time but it happened again, you could swear you saw him bigger, stronger, more imposing even if his face looked absolutely harmless. You took the cup and thanked him quietly, nodding absentmindedly as he shared his excitement about living here with you once again. It made you wonder why didn't he reach out to you sooner, if he did you could have seen at what point he became so tall and muscular.
Tyler gave you a sympathetic look and asked what you wanted to do next, apologizing for talking too much figuring that was why you were so quiet. You didn't know what to do, there was a lot in your mind even if some things you just wanted to forget about.
