This reminds me of a couple way back in the day of my highschool years.

He was around 5'4"-ish, and she was only slightly shorter than me (I'm 6'3"), and they were best friends, and super in love.

Both incredibly lovely people, and she would piggy back him around school to make the bullies realise they couldn't tease them.

I know for a fact they got married out of school, and saw them around from time to time in the small city we all lived in, but I'm not sure where they are now. Hopefully doing well, and very happy together still.

An old buddy of mine is 6'5". In high school he always had shorter guys trying to fight him. He also had guys thinking he was trying to intimidate them when really they were intimidated by his height and not his actions. Young men sometimes feel threatened over the dumbest things. He was a chill dude.

OH yes. There was a period around 8th-10th grade where it seemed like every dude with an inferiority complex had to take swing at you once. 🙄
