#maybe theres some bonus angst in which the lie comes to light anyways and the giant is either in too deep to actually hurt them

Fearplay concept

classic set up of tiny!hero locked in battle with giant!villain. maybe this is their first encounter and they're feeling confident, or maybe this is their 80th fight this week and they're used to the groove, but the tiny is just laying it on thick with their quips and jokes during the game of cat and mouse. it comes to a point where they're borderline flirting with the giant and being a general tease, just as a way to goad/annoy the villain while easing the tension of their own shoulders.

it's all well and good until they're actually caught, like completely pinned on the ground by a hand while the giant looms over them with a grin. this was clearly never part of the tiny's plan and they're 100% shit outta luck in this situation. no back up, no weapons, nothing but extremely nervous rambling consisting of weird compliments as a means of trying to sway the giant into not killing them with a literal snap of their fingers.

the good news is all that flirting actually worked

the bad news is all that flirting actually worked

#g/t #fearplay #g/t fearplay #the giant is just SO enamored with the idea the tiny actually has a crush on them #and really the tiny doesnt have many options here #do they have the willpower to keep up this facade for the rest of their life in captivity #do they come clean and most certainly get pulverized #maybe theres some bonus angst in which the lie comes to light anyways and the giant is either in too deep to actually hurt them #(but is still hella pissed/heartbroken) #or the tiny realizes in that moment that they DO actually feel something in return and has to fight for that trust back #oh there's just so much angst potential #but anyways #i mainly just love the visual of a tiny trying to flirt their way out of a situation and it completely backfires like #yeah maybe they arent trying to kill you anymore #but you most certainly arent going to be leaving their company any time soon
