Hi, take this when you feel like doing requests. :D

I had the idea of a sweet and fun step 2 scenario with Cove, where (gender neutral) mc would wait to beach to spent the day with Cove who has yet to arrive. While mc is waiting and sitting in the sand, they thought it would be a fun idea to pass the time by drawing in the sand, a couple sand scribbles in they get the impulsive idea to write Cove's name and draw a heart around, the plan was to do it and immediately swipe it away before Cove arrives.

But to mc's misfortune (/lh) Cove arrives behind them exactly as they draw the heart. So I wanna see what you make of it from there, about how Cove reacts, the mc reacts, what both of them feel about the situation, etc. It's meant to be cute, funny, and wholesome between two awkward teens who have a crush on each other.

I hope this idea seems fun to you :D

Sorry this took a while!

Cove holden x reader

Caught

Romantic, fluff

——————————

You’re currently spending your time lounging on the beach, your fingers trail in the sand absentmindedly. You and Cove were supposed to be meeting on the beach today, but he seemed to be taking his sweet time with coming over there. You honestly couldn’t tell if that was a good or bad thing at this point, mostly because of your newly discovered feelings for the boy. Ah yes, you had gained feelings for your childhood best friend. Your mind caught up to your current activity, watching as your finger dragged in the sand in the shape of a heart. A smile appeared on your face as you wrote a special name in the middle of the heart, that being the title of your current crush. Suddenly, you heard a familiar voice “(Name)?” You turned around in an instant, seeing the familiar green haired boy.

“Hey Cove! Nice to see you…” You say, trying to look into his eyes and wipe away the heart simultaneously.

“What are you drawing?” Cove peeks behind you, seeing the heart that you are very much missing in your efforts. His cheeks flush a bright pink at the sight of his name written in the middle of the affectionate symbol.

“I know this looks a certain way…” You say, a bit flustered yourself. “I was just drawing! Nothing more nothing less!”

Cove’s blush died down a bit, but was still apparent. “I-I get it, nothing more nothing less” Cove said, sounding slightly down.

“I didn’t mean it like that! I guess I did but I didn’t!” You try and reassure Cove.

“It’s fine. Do you.. wanna surf maybe?” Cove said, attempting to change the topic.

“Sure. Just ignore me though, we both know I can be an idiot sometimes.” You say while attempting to lighten the mood.

“Mm, agree to disagree.” Cove smiled at you and you both walked over to water, the awkward discussion finally being put to rest. At some point you may need to confess, but luckily for you that was not today.

——————————

Tell me if anyone wants a confession ending for this instead :)

A character reference based on all four Steps of Our Life! It's only "sort of" a height reference as well since obviously they're not 100% accurate (the devs don't have specific heights for everyone to my knowledge).

I did dig into the code to try and get characters at their "normal" heights but there are other matters at play too (example: Nicolas is obviously "taller" than he should be because he needs to be pushed upwards to be visible enough above the game's text box; likewise with other very short characters).

Still, this should serve as either a nice reference guide for every character or a "height reference" in the sense of getting an idea of which characters are shorter/taller than others.

I'm also going to detail some extra notes below the break, including posts from GB Patch's Tumblr that reference any defined heights (with Cove being the obvious one) or general height things, as well as some more stuff about the MC's height in comparison to the three love interests depending on what you pick.

Cove's height is listed on GB Patch's FAQ as 4' 1" in Step 1 (also stated as "mostly average, perhaps a bit on the short side"), 5' 4" in Step 2 (in-game this is defined as "very tall" on the MC's potential height spectrum, as that is the only option considered on par with Cove's height), 6' 0" in Step 3, and 6' 4" in Step 4. A fun fact is that Cove's final height was originally 6' 3" (191cm) instead.

Derek in Step 2 is under five feet tall (this post also lists Cove as "around 5 and a half feet tall" which you could take as either close enough to 5' 4" as stated above or a potential original height he had that got changed). In-game, he's "short" but not "very short", as having your MC be "very short" will prompt narration telling you that you're shorter than Derek, whereas "short" only has you relate to him in smolness generally.

Step 4 Derek is "mostly average." He wouldn't be considered tall nor would he be considered short. His youngest brother Nicolas will "probably end up as a similar height to him" once he's more grown up.

Step 4 Baxter is "taller than average, but not especially tall."

I've been informed that, on the Our Life Patreon Discord, Step 4 Derek's height is listed as 5' 9" (175cm) whereas Step 4 Baxter's is listed as 5' 11" (180cm), so those are their defined heights. Before that, both of their heights had jumped around somewhat. A post from 2019 said that Derek was 5' 11", but a post from June 2021 said that Baxter was 5' 11" and Derek was 5' 9" (so consistent with the Discord). Then there's also another post from July 2021 (you'll have to scroll down for this one) that listed Baxter at around 5' 10" while Derek was 5' 8"/5' 9". If you're insane enough to try and use the character reference too, then Baxter would actually be around 6'1" at minimum since he's taller than Step 3 Cove (though you could also make the same argument that this means the mom trio of Pamela, Noelani, and Kyra must be decently tall as well since they're so close to Cove on the character reference).

I don't have any experience with GB Patch's other game, XOXO Droplets, so I don't know what ages the characters are in it, but since both Shiloh and Jeremy are characters seen visibly in Our Life, I thought I'd also mention that they're listed as 5' 10" and 5' 5" (or 5' 5 1/2") respectively in XOXO Droplets. Jeremy also apparently grows to 5' 8" in his 20s and he's 22 in the Our Life Cove Wedding DLC (I don't think this is spoken of in the game specifically but he's labeled as 22 in the code).

As for the MC and how their height plays into things, "tall" and "very tall" as well as "short" and "very short" tend to be considered the same for the most part in the game's code. It's not that there isn't a difference at all (I would say it's still notable), it's just that sometimes the game may be more vague about height differences. My post about Errands references this where you don't need more athletic points due to being "very short" instead of "short" to give Cove a piggyback ride.

A guesstimate I'd make is that about 5% of the time, the game will take note of whether you're "very tall" instead of "tall" or "very short" instead of "short." Otherwise, you're either "generally tall," "average," or "generally short." There are also other instances (usually with Cove) where the game might just check if you're either generally tall (around Cove's height) or not generally tall (i.e: definitely shorter than him).

This is actually relevant to the heights because, following all above information, one would assume that Step 4 Derek is average, Step 4 Baxter is tall, and Step 4 Cove is very tall going off the MC's potential "height spectrum" of very short, short, average, tall, and very tall, but it's not entirely the case.

A "tall" MC (generally tall) will look "down" at Step 4 Baxter just as he will look "up" at them or they'll look directly at each other if the MC is "average," same as Step 3 Baxter, but--

when the game has any instance of differentiating between "tall" and "very tall" (they never do this for Step 3 Baxter so the base assumption would have to be that he's just average height), things change.

During Baxter's apology in the wedding of his Step 4, Baxter dips his chin to look at the MC if they're "short"/"very short," levels his chin to look at the MC if they're "average"/"tall," and then lifts his chin to look at the MC if they're "very tall." A generally tall MC still has to lean down to kiss him if they choose to do so though.

Also, during the intimacy scene with Baxter (either in his office or his living room), if the MC is "very short," "short," or "average," it states that Baxter is taller than them. If they're "very tall," then Baxter is shorter than them, but a "tall" MC is "almost the exact same height" as him.

This is all a really long-winded way of saying that GB Patch referring to Step 4 Baxter being "taller than average but not especially tall" might mean that he's some infuriating middle ground between average and tall where he's not quite one but not quite the other either (which honestly is very Baxter of him so I can't even be mad).

I think we would ruin Baxter's night if we call him out of nowhere after step 3, and is funny asf

Origin story of how Ruri deleted his number lmao

#she saved Baxter's number as 'Neigh(bour) Baxter' when she went with Terri at the start of step 3 and never changed it #re-saved it as 'Wedd Baxter' at the start of step 4 and actually changed it to 'Baxter 3>' after they started dating again #and Cove is Cove #rui draw smth #also testing if this uploads bc lately the signal is very good between 2 and 4 am!#our life mc #our life: beginnings & always #our life #olba mc #olba #cove holden #baxter ward

Here comes the—

B-oyy~♡

Hello boyyy😂there he iiis~!

[prev.]

Look at the little Micha boy! He's such a little star!! Definitely that kid that people either love or hate, I think, lol. He's proobably gotten a little better with those social cues (maybe) but he's still very confrontational - he's that kind of person that's always questioning things and looking at them from every angle. His teachers don't know if he's a blessing or a curse tbh. Most adults probably feel that way about him!

He's very protective of Tamarack and very sweet on Autumn. He goes between He and They but gender is still a pretty dodgy subject to him, honestly - he doesn't really get the point of it beyond scientific and medical relevance. Overall, even if he seems a bit cool on the exterior and doesn't make friends easily, he's actually a pretty good and thoughtful kid and puts the work in for himself and others.

Got an anonymous request for Lee's reaction in a hypothetical where the MC could tell Lee that they were crushing on the "mystery boy" (Baxter) from Soiree, so of course I was 👀👀👀

I'm 99% sure they were expecting an idle mention rather than a full thing but I couldn't control myself so--
