Chapter Three: Getting to Know You Titan: Physics by Open High Hat

“Ok….Niall. This is all really strange. Can I just ask you some questions to get to know you a bit better and then you can ask me some and we can go from there?”

Niall felt like his luck was changing, clothes, being addressed by his proper title and Naskia asking him permission to interact. “Sure go ahead” he responded.

“First one….how old are you?” Naskia asked.

“Twenty six.”

“Ok…..so four roughly…..” Naskia replied.

“Wait….what?!” Niall asked confused.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed but our planet has a totally different rotation and orbit to yours. A day here is 84 hours, not 24. And a year here is 6 and a bit earth years.” She explained.

Niall looked a bit confused which Naskia enjoyed. “So how old are you then? About 4?” Niall asked

“Oh no! I’m 23….which in your years is probably about 140” she said with a smile.

Niall was in shock. He’d pegged her as an insecure girl, barely out of childhood when in fact she was older than any human alive. “Oh….wow….well I hope I look as good as you do when I’m 140…” he said. The enormity of that revelation was still weighing on him. Naskia smiled, happy with the compliment.

“What do you like to do? The humans bred here tend to do a lot of exercise and playing. I’m assuming you’re the same” She asked.

Niall was still in a bit of a daze and had to snap himself out of it. “Well yeah I like to keep active, physically and mentally. I like to climb mountains and go on walks in the hills. I like to challenge myself. Working on difficult problems, puzzles, learning new things like languages. Oh and playing music.” Niall wanted to show just how diverse he was.

“What instrument do you play?” Naskia asked.

“A few actually, violin is my favourite, guitar I play too and any sort of drum.”

“Not sure what guitar or violin are….I do recognise drums though. It’s pretty much a universal instrument! We can see about fabricating a violin for you. I want to be a good owner” she smiled.

Niall didn’t smile “Wait….so I’m still a pet?” he asked.

Naskia felt bad. He had seemed a lot happier before she mentioned ownership. “Look I’m going to be totally honest here. Your world is part of our Empire. We own it and everything on it, humans included. Our Empire recognises many sentient species and grants them rights and citizenship. Humans aren’t one of those species. They just don’t meet the requirements. I don’t have a way to free you and once I register you with the vet you will always be considered my property….I’m sorry”

Niall wanted to be angry and take offense at what Naskia had said, especially the vet statement but he knew it wasn’t her fault. He lay down and covered his eyes with his hands. He wanted to just give up and cry. He felt a warm skin engulf him as Naskia lifted him into the air.

She cupped him in both hands against the top of her chest. She really felt bad for him and there was nothing she could do apart from try to comfort him. She held him there for a few minutes trying to think of anything else she could do. “It’s ok. I promise I’ll do my best to make sure you’re happy” she said lifting him to her face and kissing him softly.

Niall could hear a crack in her voice. He looked up to her big eyes which looked to be welling with sympathy. She seemed to be a nice, honest girl who actually cared for him. “So I’m still your pet…all be it with clothes on.”

“Yes….no…sort of” Naskia replied confused “I don’t know what to do here. My housemate, Kiri, is back later. I’ll talk to her about it and see what she thinks. I’ll let you wear clothes and I’ll get you things you want but I need you to do something for me….” Naskia set him down on the table.

“What’s that?” Niall asked worried about what it could be.

“Please can you help me with all these stupid equations?” She said burying her face into her hands.

“I dunno. I might have a few more conditions….nothing complicated” Niall said.

“Ok….like what?”

“First. I’m not going to the toilet in a pile of sand. You’ll have to find something better.” Niall stated.

Naskia nodded.

“ Second, I’m not going to eat foul tasting paste. If you’re food is compatible with my digestive system I’d like to eat my meals with you. Third, I want to be able to come and go as I please within this house. I don’t want to be stuck on a shelf out of the way. Lastly, I want one of those pads so I can have access to learning.” His voice was starting to regain its confidence now he knew he had something to bargain with.

“Ooooooook….I’ll have to think about some of them. I couldn’t afford a nicer terrarium for you cuz I’m a student but I’ll see if I can buy you a toilet. You can eat our food ok but I’ll have to figure out what you like. I don’t know what human taste is like ‘cause I thought the paste was quite tasty.” She laughed.

“Well you can eat it then” said Niall looking serious.

“I’ll have to ask Kiri if she minds you eating with us. She can be a bit….serious about stuff sometimes. I can move the terrarium down to my bedside table for you and cut a hole in it so you can get in it and out but I’m unhappy with the idea of you running around by yourself. It’d be too easy to……step on you.” Naskia winced at the last part. She hated the thought of ever hurting him in anyway and it was not unheard of for humans to get stepped on occasionally.

“Probably a good idea then, I’m not keen on being stepped on”

“I actually have a pocket pad I use on the move. It’s about your height but it’s the most suitable for you. I’ll have to buy myself a new one. You’re turning into a very expensive pet, ya know?” Naskia stuck her tongue out and this managed to get a smile from Niall.

“Shall we get some breakfast? I’m so hungry even you look pretty tasty right now.” Naskia was hoping to coax another smile from Niall but all she got was a raised eyebrow. “Argh! You and Kiri are going to get on great. She doesn’t have a sense of humour either.”

“Ha…thanks. Yeah food sounds good” Niall said.

Naskia stood up and walked through to the living area with Niall still cupped in her hand. Niall looked around.

It looked like any small student accommodation you’d see in any university. A small sofa faced a screen in the wall, a desk in the corner with a plant on it, a small kitchen area with some units and a sink. There were pictures on the wall. One of Naskia with a pretty Indian looking girl, a few of cute looking animals and one painting which looked like an impressionist landscape. “Do you like art?” Niall asked.

“Oh…that…I dunno, it was here was here when we moved in.” Naskia shrugged.

Naskia set Niall down on the counter. “Yeah it’s small but its home” she smiled. “Let’s see what we have to eat then.”

Naskia rooted around in the cupboards and brought out a few different items. Some colourful looking fruit things, something that was clearly a stack of meat and half a dozen things which were clearly eggs, although each one was the same height as him. It was quite a lot of food.

“I know you’re a big girl but there’s no way you can eat all that!” Niall said.

“Haha, no I can’t eat all this. I’m probably just gonna have some fruit. I thought I’d cook you up some meat and eggs. I know how you men love your protein.”

Niall was somewhat taken aback. He did not expect Naskia to go out of her way for him. He smiled at her and sat down. “Thank you, I just realised I am famished. I don’t think I could live here if you people were all vegetarians.” He said.

“No way! I couldn’t live without a good steak. I do try to stay healthy though. I usually eat 3 meals a day but your metabolism is a lot faster than mine so you will probably need to eat a lot more regularly. I’ll have to sort some way for you to feed yourself while I’m out at class or asleep…..” Naskia said while cooking up a slice of meat and an egg.

“You do high energy physics; it’s my area of expertise. Can I not go to class with you? I’d be really interested to learn more.” Niall said.

Naskia giggled. “I never thought of it like that. I’m afraid you can’t. If you go outside it has to be in a case, it’s a legal thing. Besides if people saw me taking my human everywhere I’d be a laughing stock!” Naskia didn’t consider the last point might hurt Niall and felt a pang of guilt when she saw him frown. Food cooked she cut off some appropriately sized chunks of meat and eggs for Niall. “I don’t have any human sized utensils. Humans usually eat with their hands.” She said.

“I suppose I can use my hands for now. I’d much prefer a knife and fork though.” Niall said biting off a chunk of meat that tasted a lot like bacon. “Mmmmm this is good!”

“I’ll see about getting some fabricated for you. We call that spakkal. It’s an omnivore that goes down well any time of day.” Naskia replied.

“This is called bacon and eggs on Earth. We eat it for breakfast too. Do you have any tea?” Niall asked before ripping into another chunk of meat.

“Yeah….a cup of tea would do nice about now. It’s funny just how much we as a species have in common. Our genetics are actually quite similar, there’s a few key differences though.” She said.

Niall nodded along and continued to eat. He was starving. Naskia poured boiling water through into a pot with plant leaves and let it sit.

“Ok….you’re not going to like this so I’ll tell you now while you have food to perk you up. I have to take you to the vet within the next few days, another regulation. They will register you as my human, check you for illness, treat you for any parasites you may be carrying, vaccinate you and install a tracking chip. Most humans don’t seem to mind it but I get the feeling you will take it badly. I really need you to not get upset about it or anything. The chip is really important so I can find you if you get lost.”

Niall did not look happy at all. “This just keeps getting worse doesn’t it? The chip doesn’t sound like a bad idea just in case.”

“I know; I’m just trying to be up front with you. If I could avoid it then I would but it’s gotta be done.” Naskia said pouring the tea. She found a small plastic bottle top and poured some tea in for Niall. She set it down beside him and he took a sip. It had a soft flavour, more like a smell in his mouth but was quite pleasant.

“If it’s particularly humiliating you can make it up to me” he said putting his cup down.

“You’re a demanding little fella ya know that?” Naskia said acting annoyed.

Niall had stopped eating. The vet discussion had killed his appetite. “No more than I’m sure you would be if you were placed in the care of a 2500 foot alien.”

Naskia laughed “What does this have to do with aliens with 2500 feet?”

“No, no. It’s a unit of measurement.” Niall pointed at his foot. “I’m about 6 foot 3 inches. An inch is one twelfth of a foot. I’m guessing you’re around 120 feet tall.”

“That’s quite a clever measurement. We base measurements on units. It’s the average height of a Titan male. I’m 0.89 units tall. Kiri is only 0.87 units!” Naskia explained.

“I thought you looked quite small in comparison to your surroundings.” Niall responded keen to show off some more.

Naskia stuck her tongue out at him again. Being short was something of a sore point for her. “That’s a bit rich coming from someone who’s only 0.04 units tall. But yeah I suppose it’s possible that out there somewhere is a race of massive aliens who might want to take us for pets! I’m sure I’d probably be very grumpy if that happened to me. I’d imagine humans would be too small to interest them.”

Niall was glad that at least Naskia could empathise with him despite the few digs about his size.

“Eugh….the last day has been a bit tiring. I really just want to lie around and watch something rather than do work. Do human’s watch entertainment broadcasts?” Naskia said washing the dirty dishes.

“Yeah we do. Personally I don’t watch television but most people will daily. I don’t mind. It’d be good to rest my brain for a bit” Niall said. Naskia set her hand down and Niall sat down in it. She walked over to the sofa and sat down.

“What do you want to watch?” she asked Niall. But there was no answer. Niall was busy examining the back of his robe.

“You didn’t dry your hands did you?!” he yelled.

“Oops….sorry! I’m such a dits. Is it really bad?”

“Yeah…it’s pretty much soaked through at the back. Got anything else for me to wear?” Niall was busy trying to dry off his back.

“Ehhh….not really. I don’t particularly want to cut up my favourite robe any more than I already did. I feel really about tearing up your clothes. Take it off and I’ll put it on the heater to dry out.” Naskia held her hand out for Niall to drop his robe.

“I’d rather just get past the events of last night. I’m not sure how comfortable I am with sitting around with no clothes on, suppose it will have to do.” Niall pulled his robe off over his head and set it in Naskia’s waiting hand. She set him down on the sofa and set his robe on top of a heater.

When she came back she had a little giggle at the small man trying to cover himself. “You’re just being silly now. Nothing I haven’t seen before.”

Naskia sat down on the sofa taking care not to sit on Niall. She put her feet up on the table in front of the sofa and looked down to where Niall was but there was no sign of him. “Niall? Where’d you go?”

Naskia felt something tapping at her side. When she reached down to check what it was she felt the tiny figure of Niall on his side nearly buried under her ass. She scooped him into her hand and brought him up to her face. He didn’t look happy.

“You nearly killed me!” He yelled waving his arms again.

A look of contrition came over Naskia’s face. “I’m really sorry! I checked where you were and made sure not to sit on you. What happened?”

The apology didn’t seem to have any effect on Niall. “Well your massive ass created a dent in the cushion and it tried to suck me in. Be more careful will you?”

Naskia gasped, shocked at just how quickly Niall had reverted back to being mean. “I do not have a massive ass! It’s well proportioned.”

“It’s so big I could play tennis on it.” Niall said.

“Huh. You’re mean. I was gonna do something really nice for you by way of apology for nearly sitting on you and soaking your robe but not anymore.” Naskia set Niall down on the arm of the sofa and turned on the wall screen with a remote. She turned on a programme about friends who go to college together and end up on adventures.

“What were you going to do that was so nice?” Niall asked.

“Nuh uh, you had your chance. Try controlling that temper of yours next time.” Naskia said.

Niall was trying to read her face to see if her annoyance was real or not but he really couldn’t tell. “I’m sorry Naskia. Your bottom really is well proportioned. I just didn’t appreciate getting that close to it. It’s the whole alien abduction thing, I’m still not quite myself yet.”

“Just so you know I see right through your manipulation. I’m choosing to be nice cuz I’m a nice person and not cuz you’ve made me feel bad.” Naskia said actually feeling bad. She picked up Niall from the arm of the chair, Niall protested at not being consulted before he was lifted. Naskia pulled her robe down slightly and placed Niall on her left breast and then tucked him in to the robe. “There. You should be warm and comfy there. And you’re not naked either so problem solved.” She said turning back to her programme pretending to ignore him. Naskia was very interested to know if Niall would keep being mean to her now she was being nice to him.

“Hmmm…..this is pretty nice” Niall thought. He felt like he was sitting on a warm, soft water bed. He was being bathed in Naskia’s smell and the sound of her heartbeat. He could feel her areola was just beside his left leg. He found the whole experience very arousing but didn’t want to act in any way that would put him in to a pet position. He waited a few minutes and asked “Did you only put me here because you still don’t view me as equal?”

Naskia sighed “Can I not just be nice without you reading into everything?”

Niall decided to stay quiet and not risk escalating an argument. He was enjoying himself far too much. He was getting more and more turned on and didn’t notice he had been subconsciously rubbing the soft skin he was lying on. Naskia noticed. His little hands felt amazing on her skin and she too decided to say nothing and see where this was going. Niall felt something moving against his leg. “What the hell?” he thought. He looked under the robe found Naskia’s nipple had hardened and was now about twice the height of his foot. “Shit…” he cursed under his breath realising that he had done this himself with his rubbing.

Niall looked up at Naskia’s face floating above him. She was ignoring him and focusing on the programme. Niall was trying to watch but he wasn’t really interested. He didn’t know if it was because he had never really been interested in TV or because he was sitting on a boob that was 200 times his own weight. He kept rubbing, using both hands now, he knew she could feel him but was deliberately letting Niall do what he was comfortable with. Niall took this as tacit approval to keep going. He was getting more and more wound up until he could take it no more and dived under Naskia’s robe and wrapped his legs around her nipple. It was about 2 feet tall and a foot across and was rocked hard. He squeezed it with his legs and rubbed himself against it. At the same time he caressed the nipple with both hands, letting his fingers rub into the creases to increase the sensation.

Naskia let out an involuntary moan despite still trying to act disinterested. “Screw it” she thought as she pulled her robe down so she could watch Niall. She grabbed her other boob with her hand and started kneading it as Niall continued to play with her nipple. She’d never understood what people meant when they said “There’s nothing like the touch of a human” until now. It felt amazing. His delicate fingertips could hit nerves no Titan could hit. She moaned louder and louder as she got more turned on. Niall was enjoying himself but his mind had turned this into another challenge. He wanted to see if he could make a woman over 20 times his height orgasm. He got up and ran down her body as fast as he could. There was now a gap in Naskia’s robe and Naskia watched him wondering what he was up to. Niall nearly tripped over himself a few times as he found it hard to account for his feet sinking into her skin.

When Niall reached her pelvis he grabbed hold of Naskia’s dark pubic hair and lowered himself down her crotch. He put his feet down at the base of her labia and made sure he was steady. He was pleased to find that the female Titan anatomy was identical to that of human’s. He started stroking Naskia’s clitoris with one hand and holding himself in place with the other. He started gently, not wanting to rush Naskia. Niall used his small size to his advantage and tickled the now hardening clitoris. A wave of pleasure shot through Naskia and she moaned and shuddered slightly. Niall pressed on and started to be firmer, now cupping and squeezing and kissing. Naskia was moaning more and more. She was fidgeting uncontrollably unable to stop herself as waves of pleasure moved up her body.

“Please….please Niall. I want you inside of me” she panted sitting up a bit and looking down between her legs. The sight of Niall, so small between her legs, turned her on more. He didn’t reply but she felt him tweak her clitoris more and she let out a howl of pleasure and arched her back. As she did so she felt him fall away from her. She looked down to find him trying to climb back up to her clitoris but was unable to keep a grip with his feet as her labia were now soaking wet. She placed 2 fingers on his side and directed his legs into her vagina but Niall placed his legs either side to stop her.

“No!” he yelled up at her “I want to do this my way.”

Naskia desperately wanted to feel him inside of her but relented. “Ok…ok…” she said placing him back at his spot and holding him in place with the back of one finger.

Niall used his new back support to start playing with Naskia’s clit with both hands. He rubbed and tickled, licked and kissed. When he found Naskia needed more, he got more aggressive using his whole mouth to suck, nipping with his teeth occasionally. Naskia was panting and gyrating her hips which were now floating about 20 feet off the sofa. Niall was grateful for the support her finger was giving him. His feet had slipped inside her vagina and he had to tread to stop himself from falling over which only made Naskia more excited.

Her smell and taste was intoxicating. Niall noted it was a lot sweeter than a human woman would taste. It drove him on and on, not caring about the danger he was in if he fell. He sucked hard on Naskia’s clitoris as he started to grind his hips in between the 3 feet long labia. He closed his eyes and it almost felt like she was a normal sized woman. He grabbed the labia with his arms like he would a woman’s hips and thrust himself into her, grinding against her. He felt a violent shuddering as Naskia’s moans got louder, she eventually screamed and crashed her hips down on to the sofa. Niall was thrown down between her legs and was covered in a gush of sweet tasting fluid from Naskia. He could hear Naskia trying to recover her breath. She sat up and looked down at him with a bright red face. “How…how did you do that?”
