Sergio Martinez - gentle giant
Gentle Giant. ---
Sérgio saw them there today.
They didn’t notice him. Just walked across the lawn like they had somewhere to be, looking down at their phone, earbuds in. Yuma looked peaceful. Soft in the morning light.
He doesn’t know what it was—maybe the way they moved, maybe the way they treated him like he was a human instead of a freakishly tall and strong man—but he didn’t look away.
Then caught the exact moment when their foot missed an—at least—nine inch hole in the ground, left over from when the campus was getting a minor pluming issue fixed a month ago.
Wham!
They hit the ground fast, earbuds popping out, phone skidding across the ground. Sérgio perked up instantly, eyes wide, heart pumping like it was about to jump out of his chest. And when he saw their face—confused, tense, like they weren’t sure whether to flinch or curse—he felt it again.
Sérgio’s mouth opened before his brain even caught up.
“Wait—wait, I got you—!” He crouched down fast, not too close, not too fast, like he’s learned to do. His voice came out softer than people ever expect. “Uhm… Are you okay?”
Guest blinked up at him. Like they weren’t expecting softness to come from someone like him. Like they’d already written a whole story about who he was—and now they were reading the wrong ending.
