Big

Ryotaro had never minded being big. His tall stature helped him to stay fit and excel at soccer, while his wide shoulders ensured that no one would mess with him for fear of losing a fight. Girls liked tall, fit guys anyway, and the other boys looked up to him too.

But then he saw Kahoko walking with Hihara, only a few inches apart in size, laughing together, their bodies complimenting each other quietly.

It was outrageous and ridiculous, yes, but just for a moment...

Ryotaro wished he were small.
