“I think it would be awesome to have another man of science here, Trevor! Welcome aboard.” Josh grinned.
A smile sparked on Trevor’s face. “Seriously? Thank you SO much, boss!” He rubbed his hands together in excitement, which Josh was pleased to see.
“Now, there is some paperwork we have to fill out in regards to--”
“When can I start shrinking?” Trevor cut him off.
Josh stopped in his tracks. “Uh… what do you mean?”
“Well, you’re tiny right now even though you’re not in the park. Can I do the same? And if so, how soon?” Trevor said with a perk in his voice.
Josh raised an eyebrow. “You… WANT to be this size? OUTSIDE of the safety of the park?? On your first day???”
“Mhm!” Trevor said, eagerly.
“...uh… I’m sure you’re smart enough to know how unsafe that is.” Josh warned patiently.
“Well… no disrespect, but… if it’s so dangerous, why are YOU doing it?” Trevor asked with a slight smirk.
Josh inhaled, about to argue. But then realized he was going to sound like a massive fucking hypocrite.
Trevor continued. “Josh, do you know how hard it is being 6’4”, stupidly attractive, and super fucking smart? Actually, let's not kid ourselves. Of course you don’t know what that’s like.”
Josh stood, dumbfounded.
“When you’re the size of a bug, existing around all these meathead jocks you hire must be a daily challenge. But I love a challenge! And no, not the boring equations I have to solve in Physics, and not the PRs I try to beat at the gym. I mean like… a whole new way of seeing the world! Both from a scientific lens, and a “I am super bored” lens. You must sympathize, right? I mean, what other reason would you have to stay small? Unless you, like, get sexual gratification from being--”
“HEY, uh! Th-That’s not appropriate for the workplace.” Josh quickly interjected, trying to cover his ass. Trevor calculated for a second, then gave Josh and understanding side eye.
“Uh huh…” Trevor smirked again, then bent down so that he was eye level with Josh. Then, he extended his finger to pet Josh very lightly as he spoke. Trevor smiled, cooing to the tiny as he showered him with affection.
“Look, little man. I don’t judge. Let me join you down there! At our size, we can have a lot of fun. And you're the boss, so no one’s even gotta know about it. Think of all we can accomplish as scientists! Two ants are better than one, right?”
Trevor’s toothy smile filled Josh’s world as the man’s face eclipsed and cast a shadow over the tiny guy. Thinking it over for a second, Josh decided…
