After they eventually managed to
win a few rounds as a pair, Jake and Liz decided to call it quits on their
gaming session. As they were closing the game down Jake heard a familiar but very
loud rumbling behind him. “Getting hungry, Liz?” he asked, turning around and
looking far overhead.
Liz’s eyes panned down and she met
his gaze, “Yeah, I think it might be time for some real food. I’m in gaming
mode today though, are leftovers okay?” she asked.
“Anything’s fine by me as long as
I’m not on the menu,” Jake joked. Today had been a tough day, but he felt like
joking about his current ankle-high stature was the only way to start coping
with his current situation. For all he knew he might even grow back tomorrow
morning.
“Equines are vegetarians so no
worries there, my little human,” Liz said. She was joking with the ‘my’ right?
Jake shrugged it off, giving Liz the benefit of the doubt. “How about we eat
and watch another episode or three on the couch?” she continued. “Gotta make
the most of our ‘sick’ day, right?” she added with a smile. They both laughed.
Jake agreed and was ferried over to
the couch where he sat and waited to see what Liz would bring. Sure enough, she
reappeared with some fried rice she said had been takeout earlier in the week.
Jake normally didn’t enjoy veggies as a wolf, but his new human body loved the
fried rice. He only finished a few of the rather large grains of rice and managed
a few small pieces of chopped vegetable but the food was delicious. The anime
was getting pretty good too and he was enjoying watching it with Liz. Today
was fun, he thought to himself. Jake was surprised when the thought crossed
his mind but despite the shrinking, the panic, and the end of life as he knew
it, today had actually gone fairly well. Today was honestly better than usual
thanks to hanging out with Liz, physical changes to himself aside.
After they finished eating and
watching, the two went back to the computer and went at it again, destroying
all the opponents they could, enjoying a good laugh here and there as they did
it. Despite Jake’s small stature, he found he was more or less an even match
with Liz. Before long it had gotten dark outside and only the glow of Jake’s
phone screen and Liz’s shining monitor was left to illuminate the room. It was
around ten o’clock when the two started getting a little tired. Jake and Liz
were running around together in the game when suddenly Jake was annihilated by
surprise. “Aw man!” he exclaimed, half-feigning disappointment. He didn’t
honestly care if he won or lost, the pursuit alone was his source of enjoyment.
Jake heard the clicking and
clacking of Liz’s huge keyboard and her deep breathing overhead. He turned
around and realized he was probably looking the wrong way all night. The light
from Liz’s monitor danced across her body, the hue projecting on her white
tank-top changing and shifting as she looked at new things on her screen. He
could barely make out one of her eyes from so far below her muzzle but it shone
with focus and determination. Her breasts heaved gently with each breath as she
remained focused. Jake didn’t care about the game anymore. He just sat down and
watched his friend play the rest of the round out, occasionally glancing over
at the monitor.
It turns out Liz was on a roll.
While Jake had been eliminated early on, she survived to the very end, her arms
launching into the air as the phrase “Last Man Standing” shone across her
screen. “Yes!” she shouted in a contagious spout of joy. As quickly as her
hands had soared up, however, they came crashing down, one landing quite close
to Jake leading to him toppling backward onto his butt.
Liz looked down suddenly
remembering she wasn’t alone after being so fully engorged in the game. Seeing
Jake her eyes widened and she apologized immediately, “Oops, sorry! I got a bit
carried away there, didn’t I?”
“All good, you were amazing. Nice
work!” Jake said, not wanting to interrupt Liz’s happy mood.
“Thanks,” she said, her face
beaming. “You all done?”
“Yeah, I think I’m gamed out for tonight.”
“I was going to take a shower
before bed. Did you want me to set up a bath or something for you?” Liz asked.
“That would be nice actually, this
body is really sweaty compared to my normal one,” Jake said, realizing how
weird that must have been sounded.
Liz didn’t seem phased, however.
“It’s probably quite different. You seem to be adapting well, though!”
“I just hope it’s a temporary thing,
though. I don’t want to keep burdening you,” Jake said.
“You’re not a burden at all, I’m
enjoying the company. Now let’s get a bath set up so you can wash up.” Liz
stood up and walked over to the switch on the wall, turning on the lights.
“Ahhhh!” both of them exclaimed
facetiously as they were bombarded by the sudden brightness. After
letting her eyes adjust for a second Liz returned, sitting in her revolving
chair and putting her hand on the desk for Jake.
“I think I want to try walking
there myself if that’s okay, Liz.”
“Sure,” she said, her hand not
moving, knowing what would come next.
“Can I get some help down to the
ground first though?” came the inevitable request.
“Sure!” she said, eyes gleaming in
a big smile. Liz was enjoying Jake’s cute little helplessness and it felt
wonderful to be needed to help her little crush do everything.
Once she had picked him up, Liz
spun around in her chair, facing herself away from the desk. The trip felt like
an amusement park ride to Jake, sitting in her hand as if it were one of those
spinning chairs high above the ground. Once she had turned around, Liz leaned forward
and gently lowered Jake until he was just above the ground. Upon the release of
her safety-belt thumb, Jake hopped off and onto the carpet. The carpet fibers
were up to his ankles but he found he could stand and walk relatively easily.
Looking forward Jake was reminded yet again that his head stood only a fraction
higher than the tops of her big hooves. He was about to start walking when he
heard Liz’s voice from above.
“Follow me, little guy,” she said,
still cheerful after her big win.
Just then Jake heard the gaming
chair creak and strain as Liz stood above him. One of the monolithic legs
raised, its hoof angling slightly as it flung up and forward, arcing itself
over and in front of Jake. The ground shook with the impact as it collided back
with the carpet right near him, but Jake managed to keep his footing. Looking
up Jake was amazed by the sight of Liz directly over him. No sooner had the
hoof landed than its partner flew up and over, creating a small earthquake
farther ahead. Liz had walked over him as if he weren’t even there. Reminded of
his small stature yet again Jake jogged after Liz, quickly realizing that if he
walked she would be waiting quite a while.
The shaking for Liz’s steps was short-lived,
thankfully, as she pulled far ahead of him with each step of hers matching many
of his jogging strides. Jake couldn’t get over how huge the apartment seemed
from his scale. It had looked big from on top of the desk, but actually
traversing the dwelling demonstrated just how expansive the place was to him.
It was interesting to him that this palatial place probably felt almost cramped
to someone as large as Liz was.
By the time he caught up with Liz
in the bathroom Jake was already quite winded, but he saw that Liz was working
on something far overhead and out of view on the counter. She must have seen
him coming through the door in the mirror because she swished her tail and
turned around, smiling and winking at Jake’s little form. There was a sound of
rushing water and then a loud thunk as something heavy was placed on the
counter. Then Liz bent down and offered Jake a hand. Jake jumped on and was
shuttled quickly up to the countertop.
There he found a washbasin almost
as tall as he was that had been partially filled with soapy water. “Thank you,
Liz,” he said up to her.
“No worries, little guy. I’m going
to have a shower while you do your thing in there. I might be a bit so just sit
and relax in the warm water. You’ve had a long day.” Liz’s voice was filled
with nothing but kindness. Jake felt lucky to have such a nice friend.
“Ok, I’ll stay seated so you can
have your privacy, I guess,” Jake said. He wasn’t sure about bathing in the
same room as his best friend while she stripped and had a shower but he didn’t
really see much of a choice.
“Oh don’t worry, I’ll step behind
the glass before I get undressed and I have all my stuff ready to go so I’ll be
all covered when I come out.”
Jake looked over and, sure enough,
there was a towel and some spare clothes hanging near the large fogged-out
glass shower stall on the towel rack. There was even a replacement handkerchief
and a tarp-sized handcloth for Jake to dry himself. Liz had clearly though of
everything while she was waiting for him to catch up.
“Ok, I guess I’ll get started then.
See you in a bit?” Jake said.
“Sure thing,” Liz replied before
stepping over and into her shower, closing the sliding glass door behind her.
The fogged glass obscured a clear view, but Liz’s silhouette was clearly visible
through the glass. Jake tried and failed to tear his eyes away as he saw Liz’s
arms reach her opposite armpits and raise, taking her top with them. Next, he
saw her silhouette remove its bra. Both garments were tossed unceremoniously
over the glass and landed with a fwump on the bathroom floor. Then, he
saw her silhouette clearly grab its waist and bend over, pants and
undergarments starting to come off. Not wanting to take any more advantage than
he had, Jake turned around and removed his own garments and clambering over the
wash basin’s side. He was erect, but it felt wrong to pleasure himself to a
kind friend who had taken him in.
Another fwump of clothing
sounded out from beyond the wash basin’s walls and the loud showering noise of
water began, immediately drowning everything else out. Jake lathered his hands
up with the soapy bubbles of the washbasin and got to work cleaning himself
off. His human body proved very easy to clean compared to the fur he had been used
to until this morning. This was one aspect of being human he was definitely
okay with. He finished washing himself off quickly and just sat there, enjoying
the feeling of the warm water and the warm humidity brough upon by Liz’s
shower. Just another thing to add to the growing list of advantages to his
current human stature, he decided.
After twenty minutes or so of
relaxing and then getting weirded out at how wrinkly this new body was getting
in the water, Jake heard Liz call out from her shower stall. “I’m almost done
in here, be out in a couple of minutes!”
That was Jake’s cue to get into
motion. It took a couple tries because of the soapy water but Jake managed to
climb up and out onto the counter where he dried himself off with the face
cloth. This too proved to be much easier than he was used to, being covered in
far less fur than before. Another advantage… By the time he had wrapped himself
in his toga he saw that Liz was just finishing drying herself off and getting
herself dressed.
Jake decided to just sit and wait
on the counter. He wished he could just climb down on his own but there was no
ladder or anything to use. A ladder… Now that was an idea. He stored it away
but hoped it wouldn’t be necessary since he would probably change back
tomorrow. Hopefully.
Just then he heard the loud sliding
of Liz’s shower door. Out stepped Liz covered in a towel that barely covered
her waist and chest along with a towel over her head as she attempted to dry
her hair. It must have been such a pain for girls to dry their hair, Jake
mused.
“Well, how’d you fare?” Liz asked
him.
“Just fine, thanks. That water was perfect,”
Jake said. He felt relaxed, in spite of today’s events. He figured he owed a
lot of that feeling to Liz. At work he was usually flustered and nervous around
her, but now her presence made him feel safe.
“How about we get you to bed?” Liz
suggested.
“Is it okay if I walk there myself
too? I really appreciate all the help, but I do want to try and do a few things
myself too,” Jake said, trying to sound as positive and appreciative as he
could. He really did appreciate all that Liz was doing for him, and didn’t want
to push her away, but he needed to feel at least some independence in his
actions.
“Sure, but I will be helping you
down from that high ledge,” Liz insisted.
“I was just about to ask,” Jake
said with a laugh.
Liz lifted little Jake down to the
floor in her palm and then said, “I’ll see you in the bedroom, I guess.”
“Thanks, see you there,” Jake said
as she turned around, sauntering out and around the corner, the ground shaking
less and less as she strode down the hall.
It was about then that Jake
realized he hadn’t asked where the bedroom was. No matter, he thought to
himself, how big could this place be? Jake laughed to himself at the thought
and started plodding out of the room and decided to follow the direction Liz
had gone and then rely on his ears to guide him. In the distance he heard Liz
shuffling around which would guide him to where he needed to go easily.
It took a few minutes, but Jake
eventually made it to Liz’s doorway. It sounded like she was quite busy in
there and he wondered what she was up to. Rounding the corner, he was surprised
to see her kneeling down on the floor next to her bed, facing away. Her tail
flicked wildly from side to side as she focused intently on whatever it is what
she was doing.
Liz had since removed her towel and
in its place there was a long, baggy t-shirt that hung down below her waist. At
the centre, however, Liz’s swinging tail stood up and out, lifting the t-shirt
up and partially exposing her underwear-clad outline within to Jake. A familiar
feeling of arousal built in Jake. It was such an innocent and yet arousing
sight that he grew hard almost instantly. Primal urges shouted at him to get
working but yet again, Jake managed to ignore them and began wandering toward
the mammoth mare as she bounced on her calf muscles, completely focused on
whatever it is she was doing.
“What you up do?” Jake asked as he
neared Liz’s side.
“Mmmm?” she replied with her cheerful
voice, “I’m making a little staircase to make it easier for you to get in and
out of bed. I figured the safest place would be for you to sleep here on the
bedside table.” Her friendly smile was intoxicating.
“Thank you, that’s a great idea!”
Jake said. “Can I try it out?”
“One sec, almost done,” Liz
answered as she added a final book to the top of the makeshift staircase. Had
that been a copy of Gulliver’s Travels? “Alright, there you go.”
Jake walked in front of Liz’s huge
knees and took his first steps up the various books. He could see the titles on
some of them. Most of them had to do with tech, cooking, and some were manga.
He also spotted a few fantasy novels he had read a long time ago.
“Oh, I really like this one,” He
said as he stepped over an old sci-fi novel about training youths on a space
station to fight aliens across the galaxy.
“Me too! That one is such a
classic. I bet the author didn’t expect it to be used as a staircase for a
little human,” Liz added with a giggle.
“Probably not,” Jake added,
laughing along. The bedside table stood just over four times his height and
would have been impossible reach without the staircase, Jake mused to himself.
Liz was really doing her best to make him feel comfortable and he appreciated
it. At the top of the ‘stairs’ he found some
folded clothes under her lamp.
“These should serve as a bed for
now,” Liz said. “I tried to find some soft things for you to lay on, hopefully
they’ll work.”
“I’m so tired that just about
anything will do at this point.” Jake said with a smile. “Thank you for
everything today,” Jake said. “Really. Thank you, Liz.”
“It’s my pleasure, little guy,” Liz
said with a smile, standing up to turn out the lights and then climbing under
her covers and into bed. As she did so, Jake climbed into his little bed and
pulled a layer of cloth over him as a blanket. Within seconds he was completely
passed out.
Liz laid there quietly until she
was certain she heard him snoring. Then, as quietly as she could, she turned
her head over and simply stared. There, sleeping in front of her was a dream.
Her crush from the office had become a tiny human, something she had only ever
fantasized about, and it was her job to take care of him. She still wasn’t
quite sure how this had happened, but she had a sneaking suspicion yesterday’s
wish had been granted. Either way, she was grateful as she continued to stare
at his tiny form. She would do her best to make him happy and she hoped that
someday he might love her back as much as she loved him right now.
