Chapter #4Abnormalities by: RenV That first night at the Thompson's house passed innocuously enough, due in no small part to the fact that he scarcely saw Kimi after the girl holed herself up in her room. She came down for dinner, of course, but had eaten in silence and excused herself with a striking expedience after she'd had her fill. Though he had little to go on thus far, Matthew felt as though Kimi's previous babysitters had almost certainly exaggerated their difficulties with the child; sure, she was quiet and maybe even a little dismissive, but she didn't seem to be rude or mean-spirited. She'd even thanked him for the food, or, at least he thought he'd heard something to that effect as she darted back up the steps. Her eyes were unsettling, but as Matt readied himself for bed that night, he couldn't help but wonder if some of that feeling was the result of his own expectations. If only he knew just how wrong he was.
Matt awoke early the next day, ensuring that he'd have ample time to wash up and prepare breakfast before his young charge awoke. The first task went smoothly enough, but as he was scrambling the eggs the young man felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, the uneasy feeling followed by a sound that nearly made him jump out of his skin.
"You look different today." He inhaled sharply, taking a moment to steady himself before he twisted around; there was Kimi, regarding him curiously with those entirely too deep brown eyes. The girl was wearing a pair of light blue pajamas that seemed to be just a touch too small for her, the leggings stopping above her ankles and the shirt dead even with the edge of her midriff. Still, the clothes took a back seat to the look she was shooting him, her expression a mixture between acute interest and annoyance. Matt could almost feel the color drain from his face, one hand hesitantly reaching back to switch off the stove.
"Uh, how do you mean, Kimi?" The girl leaned forward, a finger rising to her chin as she looked him up and down. After a time she nodded and then rocked back on her heels, finally returning her attention to his face. "You look smaller."
Of all the things he'd expected to hear, that certainly hadn't been one of them. Matt shook his head to himself and grabbed the handle of the pan he'd been cooking in, crossing the distance to the table and carefully spooning the eggs onto both of their plates. "Speaking of small, you probably shouldn't wear old pajamas like those - they can't be comfortable for you."
Kimi tilted her head a fraction to the side, an eyebrow quirking upward. "My mother just bought me these a couple of weeks ago." Matt stared, though whether he was more unnerved by the age of the pajamas or the fact that a six year old girl had used the word 'mother' rather than 'mom' or 'mommy', it was hard to tell. The girl seemed to have lost interest in him and his size however, as she strode over to the table and took her seat, starting on the eggs with an almost ravenous efficiency. The babysitter let out a sigh and slid into the chair across from the girl, picking at his own food until she politely requested the rest; he wasn't really all that hungry, so he let her have them, as well as a couple tall glasses of milk.
She vanished while he was cleaning the dishes in the sink, but returned roughly half an hour later, dressed in a shirt and shorts eerily similar to the ones she'd worn the day before. The girl held up a coloring book in one of her long-fingered hands.
"I'll color down here today." So went the remainder of the day, Matt occupied by the television while Kimi colored on the floor below, idly kicking her feet back and forth in the air. Though he tried his best to resist, the high schooler couldn't stop himself from stealing a few covert glances at the girl's legs, once again amazed by just how developed they seemed, even in comparison to most of his classmates. Dinner that night went much the same as their first, though Kimi now seemed comfortable enough with him to make polite small talk. It wasn't much, but it was definitely an improvement over the awkwardness that had pervaded the house following their assertions at breakfast. Matt snickered as he settled in for bed, stretching his arms out over his head - him, smaller? Ridiculous.

The next morning, Matt immediately set to work on breakfast, aiming to have everything on the table by the time Kimi woke up. He almost succeeded; in fact he would have had the toast not slipped through his fingers as he lay eyes on the doorway. She stood there, dressed only in a single long shirt that left both her bare legs and the barest hints of her underwear open to view. Matt inhaled. Kimi passed a hand over her mouth, yawning and unintentionally lifting her T-shirt that much higher, exposing even more of her pale blue panties as she sauntered into the room.
"K-Kimi! Where are your pants!?" The girl gave him a look that made it seem as though the answer was the most obvious thing in the world. "Felt too tight when I got up; they were even starting to tear up top. So I took them off." She paused, squinting at him as though attempting to catch sight of something from a great distance. "And you look smaller again."
Matt opened his mouth to respond, then felt everything go dry, his eyes widening as he took a good look at the young girl. Her thighs looked... bigger than he remembered them being yesterday, and if he looked at just the right moment he could see that her underwear looked a little strained as well. As he continued his tour upward he noticed the slightest curve to her hips and, finally, a pair of small bumps that appeared to be pressing into the front of her top. Even tiny as they were, it was undeniable that the minute mounds were a pair of breasts. Matt stumbled forward, approaching her so that he could get a better look; he needed to know for sure. When they'd first met, tall as she was, the top of Kimi's head had only managed to reach the lower part of his throat, but now she was nearing its top. He stuttered for a few moments, but eventually managed to force his lips to cooperate.
"I'm not smaller, Kimi. You're... getting bigger."
Option A: Kimi drops the innocent façade and lets you know just how "mature" she actually is, clueing you in to her 'condition' and making it very apparent that she knows what her body is capable of doing to you.
Option B: Kimi really is clueless, but takes your diagnosis in stride, gradually opening up to you more and more as time goes on.
Option C: Something Else (Maybe Matt really is shrinking too?) indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
