Work Text:
- The first time Hook encountered you was the beginning of the school year
- Even at that point he had already garnered a reputation for flirting with anyone and anything
- Despite that, it took you by surprise one day in the hallway when the young man -out of nowhere- trapped you against a wall
- well, he tried to at least
- His arms were beside you on the wallpaper in an attempt to keep you in place while he charmed you with his charismatic wiles, but it didn’t work out the way he had hoped
- See, the realization kicked in that he couldn’t lean in and look down at you like he normally did to others
- Instead, he found himself tilting his head back to look at your face. It surprised him
- You found it amusing, but you didn’t want to embarrass him further so you lightly pushed him away to get on with your day
- you thought that would be the end if it
- You thought that since he realized you were taller than him (and therefore hurting his ego in one way or another) that he would leave you alone
- That reality shattered the next day as he intentionally sought you out, just to flirt with you
- He would use any opportunity when you were sitting down or similar to have a height advantage against you
- But it wasn’t just that either; he would do the opposite
- He would practically (and sometimes literally) get on his knees and worship you like some divine being, praising your tall stature and regal composure
- It flustered you at first, but you grew used to it and eventually found comfort in his constant compliments of your appearance
- One particular time you were in the library, looking for certain books for your classes, when you came across Hook trying to reach a book on a high shelf
- He immediately looked over at you and told you in a way that sounded almost sarcastic that he needed help, and how you were the perfect height for such a task
- It honestly wasn’t that far out of his reach, but he acted like you had moved the stars for him (you were pretty sure he had orchestrated the whole thing)
- The real kicker was when he attempted to pin you to a bookshelf, aiming for a kiss to “reward” you for your help
- You had no problem pushing him away
- He simply trailed after you
- you were not surprised
- What did surprise you was when he began giving you gifts (ones that usually were in relation to your height) such as hats or long accessories like scarves that accentuated your tallness
- The one that really shocked you was a pair of sick platform boots
- In a moment of insecurity, you asked him if it bothered him that you were taller than him
- Hook began to pour out how much he loved how tall you were and how much he absolutely wanted to see you tower over him
- So you wore the new boots the next day
- He was completely head over heels (just like you almost where when you nearly tripped)
- One day he asked you if you would trap him against a wall instead, and to your surprise: you obliged
- Hook instantly slid his fingers into your hair as you looked down at him; having to really crane your neck with your shoes’ added height
- In this moment, he wasn’t his usual pompous self. His eyes were filled with nothing but adoration
- And you could find no reason within your heart to deny him as you leaned down to kiss him
- Maybe the height difference between you two was a good thing after all
