He thought he would have been taller by now, but apparently, that's not how his genes worked. His only hope was that maybe he hadn't hit his growth spurt, but he didn't think that would happen soon. So, he remained short unable to reach the highest shelves in his home without help, needing to climb onto ladders to reach light bulbs, and always trying to find ways to kiss his boyfriend without having the other bend down so much.
Their first kiss had been short. Of course, there was a minute or two before making sure it was alright to kiss before the kiss even happened. Latvia didn't even realize that the height difference was that bad until the Estonian straighten his back and had to stretch to get rid of the bit of ache of being hunched over for too long. From then on, Latvia decided to try other methods of reaching to kiss his tall boyfriend.
Stairs seemed to be a pretty good way at first as long as the side of stairs wasn't blocked. The steps gave many possible heights, and most of the time there were railings to hold. Still, the kisses were kept short since the other worried that the Latvian would accidentally fall over (a reasonable idea after Latvia had managed to stumble a little after one kiss). Short walls also provided that same problem.
Sitting on chairs and couches and floors seemed to work a bit better. Sure, there was a bit of bending involved but definitely not as much, and if Latvia felt like it, he could stand up and feel taller for once. That was always a plus.
Then surprisingly came sitting on counter tops. The entire idea happened as a fluke. The Estonian had only noticed that the counter tops were just high enough that if Latvia sat on them he would be at the perfect height for kissing. The counter tops were also a perfect place to carry some off just in case kissing was not enough.
There was still many other ideas of how to get at the right height; however, the best kisses came from laying down. On the bed, in grass, wherever. It didn't matter how short he was, he was always at the right height when laying down. Short kisses, making out, nothing was a problem and it also gave the opinion of just falling asleep in each others arms or whatever else they had in mind.
Maybe really in the end, it wasn't so bad that Latvia was so short. All they had to do was make up for the distance.
