For lamo2004

I was walking home from school one day, not knowing, that my life would change forever. It all seemed like a typical day, till the scariest even of my whole entire life took place. I was peacefully walking, while listening to music, when a guy, who seemed to be in his mid twenties approached me and grabbed my arm.

-"Can I help, sir?" I asked, confused.

The guy then pulled me closer to him, which really freaked me out. Was he planning to murder me? Or do something bad with me? I thought as I looked at the man in utter fear. He acknowledged that and smirked, making me feel really intimidated. I could feel my heart pounding, almost ripping out of my chest, I could feel my breath getting heavier.

-"What do you want from me?" I asked the man.

He looked at me with an emotionless look on his face and reached into his pocket, revealing a syringe with a strange liquid. Wait? Was he going to inject me with that thing? What was he doing?
He then moved the needle closer to my arm and then I felt it, the stinging pain, causing me to whimper. I wrapped my arm around my arm and whimpered in pain, having no idea of what had happened. I continued my way home till I suddenly felt dizzy and blacked out.
I woke up and realized something wasn't right. Everything had grown bigger or maybe...Nooo!!! It can't be? Could it be, that the weird liquid that creepy guy injected me with shrunk me? Why me? I never wanted to be shrunken. I started running, while crying. I could feel my legs getting tired. There was no way I'd make it home in this size, so I made a turn towards a huge mansion and saw a small opening. I wonder who is responsible for that. I ran inside and continued running till I bumped in with someone. I looked to see a girl around 17. She had beautiful ocean eyes and her hazel brown waves hung around her shoulders...wwaait if I got shrunk down, how is she my size? Why did this have to happen to me? I then hugged my legs and started crying. I didn't care if this mysterious girl was watching, i needed to release my emotions.

-"Omg, are you ok?" The girl asked, sitting down next to me, with a concerned look on her face.

-"No, I am not. I was walking home from school and was attacked by some guy, who injected me with a weird liquid and now I am really tiny." I said, crying into her shoulder, hugging her.

-"Omg, I am so sorry you had to go through all of that." She said with a sad tone.

-"Doesn't matter now. I doubt I can ever reverse the effects of the injection." I said with a sad sigh.

-"You know, I can help you adapt to your new life." Said the girl.

-"Really? You'd do that for me? Despite you barely know me?" I asked, almost exploding out of happiness.

-"Of course, I always help those in need." She said, helping me up.

-"What's your name?" I asked.

-"My name is Elene and I am a borrower." She answered.

-"Wwait, those little beings, that live in the walls and take things, that don't get missed?" I asked with a shocked expression on my face.

-"Yes, I am and I'll show you how to become one, since you're one of us now." She said and led me into the walls.

—————————3 Months Later—————————

It's been months since I shrunk. I was now mostly used to being a borrower, but I would still miss the time I was bigger, my family, friends...my old life. But this was my reality now, now I live in a world thousand times bigger than me and I have to borrow to survive. I am glad I am not alone in the house since it would have been so boring all by myself...and I had to hide from the human, who lived in the house, who knows what he would do if he saw me...yet I was one once...
I had gotten pretty close to Elene. She taught me all she knew and always had my back. She even accompanied me on my first borrowing.
It may seem I am content with life, but there is one thing on my mind....I really want to know who the human living in the house is. I never really had the chance to see his face. I could secretly sneak up on him and watch him without him noticing? This is a brave and stupid thing to do for a borrower, but I am not afraid, let's do this...
I got ready for my mission, put on my boots, tied my hair into a ponytail , put on my borrowing clothes and left my house in the walls. I could feel my heartbeat speeding up and my breath getting heavier as I walked on a shelf, carefully not to knock anything over or attract unwanted attention. I hid behind a book as I waited for the human's return. And really soon I felt booming footsteps come towards me meaning he had returned. I knew the human was male based on his clothing and style of room decor, but I had no idea what he looked like. Now I would finally see his face.
I could feel his every step like it were a huge earthquake, I could hear his booming voice as he spoke to someone on the phone. The voice though...something seemed familiar...where have I heard it before? Omg...no....no....it can't be? Can it? Could it be that I've been living in Tom Hiddleston's house all this time and had no idea about it?

Calm down Lauren...just cause he sounds like him doesn't mean he is HIM.

I looked out from my hiding spot and nearly fainted. The one and only Tom Hiddleston was sitting on an arm chair in the SAME room as me. But....was it worth the risk approaching him? What if he hurts me or captures me?

I could always approach without him seeing me and I wouldn't have to talk to him?
Genius idea, Lauren, absolutely genius.
I jumped down from the shelf and quietly walked towards him, trying not to attract unwanted attention. I then heard what seemed like snoring, but really really loud. I silently walked towards the arm chair without waking him up and climbed till I reached the top of the armchair and sat down to admire his features.
His eyes were closed, his face displayed a peaceful expression. His hair hung on his face and shoulders. You could admire him forever. I have to admit that I was really nervous, my heart was beating fast like lightning, my breath got heavy and I started shaking. Not only was he my idol, but he was literally a giant in comparison to me. I know he was a sleep and couldn't see me, but I still couldn't help, but tremble in fear, my anxiety tripping, strengthening every passing second.
Just when I thought my anxiety couldn't get worse, I felt the ground underneath me, more like the arm chair rumble and a huge pair of blue eyes staring right at me, startling me, causing me to fall off the arm chair.

This is the end...this is how I am going to die...

I thought to myself...

I then felt my arm hit the arm chair before landing on an unfamiliar soft surface. I looked down and gasped...I was on Tom Hiddleston's hand.

I never felt so scared my whole entire life. What was he going to do to me? Would he hurt me? Or capture me? My thoughts were cut short by his booming voice.

-"Hey, hey...don't worry, little one, I am not going to hurt you. You are completely safe."

I looked up at him. "Y-you promise?" I asked.

Tom's POV:

I had come back home after a long day of shooting and felt like taking a nap, but little did I know, that I would wake up to something unbelievable..well...someone unbelievable...

In front of me stood a young ,tiny teenage girl. She looked about 16 or 17. You could tell she was terrified of me.

-"Hey, hey...don't worry, little one, I am not going to hurt you. You're completely safe." I told her.

She then looked up with me. "Y-you promise?" She asked.

-"I promise." I told her . "Soo, are you one of those little people, who live in the walls and take stuff they need to survive from human houses?" Asked.

She looked down and sighed. "Yes, I am a borrower."

-"What's your name, little one?" I asked her.

-"My name is L-lauren." She answered.

-"That's a beautiful name." I complimented her.

-"Soo, do you happen to be a fan?"

-"Y-yes actually. I had no idea you lived in this house and only found out recently. I am really sorry for disturbing you. I didn't know how to approach you...and I decided to see you from a distance." She explained and started crying.

-"Lauren, you don't have to be embarrassed about it. I always enjoy meeting my fans." I said as I stretched my finger out for her to shake.

She raised her right arm and was about to shake my finger when she winced in pain.

-"Is everything ok, sweetheart? " I asked.

-"My arm, it really hurts. Must be from the fall. I hit it against the arm chair, while I was falling." She said.

-"Let me see your wound." I said, as I slowly raised her to eye level to get a closer loom at her arm. After a close inspection, I saw her arm was bruised.

-"Your arm is covered in a huge bruise, no wonder it hurts." I told her.

She looked at her arm in shock, inspecting her bruise.

-"Here, let me bandage it up for you." I said as I stood up to my full height and started walking towards the bathroom, where I kept my med kit.

Lauren's POV

I got really scared when Tom stood up at his full height. Every step he took felt like an earthquake, which startled me a little.

-"It's ok, I got you." He said, holding me close to his chest in a protective manner as he slowed down so it wouldn't be so bumpy for me.

I was extremely grateful for what Tom was doing for me. No words could describe how I felt. I looked him in the eyes as he gently held me in his palm.

-"Give me your arm." He instructed.

I moved my arm closer to him. He then gently grabbed it and carefully applied some medical cream to help the bruise heal faster and wrapped it up with a bandage.

-"Thank you, no words can describe my gratitude." I said, looking up at him.

-"You're welcome, sweetheart." He answered, smiling.

He then took me over to his bedroom, lied down on his bed and placed me on his chest. I instantly fell asleep after listening to his booming and soothing heartbeat.

This was the beginning of something beautiful...

I know a lot is in store for Tom and I...

I don't ever want to let him go...

Nor do I want to leave him...

P.S I am really sorry it took me this long. I really hope you'll like it. I tried my best.
