To climb up on the Bean’s couch, where he lay passed out in the dim, flickering light of the wall mounted television, and steal the cheese powdered corn puffs right out of the bag held in his massive, grease covered fingers.Īnd of course, he was proving to be a lighter sleeper than Nick had anticipated.Ĭounting the seconds after the giant stilled, Nick’s sloA bead of sweat rolling down from the side of his forehead. Perhaps the need to prove he was this giant’s better - that he could not, would not, be confined by his mere presence - was what drove him to make such a rash, stupid decision. Perhaps that was why he’d decided to risk this. And for that, he realized he’d grown a sort of enmity for the beast.
Freedom to do everything as he pleased? Not anymore. Except now he had no such simple pleasures. Never had anything to worry about in this home so far from the Settlement, and so securely locked away from any snooping Beans aside from the sparsely scheduled housekeeping. He’d spoiled himself with the opportunity to run around such a massive space to his heart’s content - knowing he’d never be seen. Beforehand, Nick had had the pleasure of having the entire apartment to himself. The extra weight to his belly certainly not making him seem any less intimidating from his angle. He wasn’t nearly the tallest Bean that Nick had ever seen, but while he wasn’t exceptional in height for his kind, he was much bigger in nearly every other way - his frame broader, limbs thicker, and just generally appearing bulky and brutish all around. He was huge - though not so much in stature. It had been a quarter of a year since the blond giant first moved in. The rumble of a deep, thundering sigh shuddering through the ground. The echoing smack of enormous lips bouncing off the bare, cavernous walls and the ceiling far, far overhead. In the darkness, a huge shadow moved, ever so slightly. Nick held his breath, fighting back the urge to cry out.
