Jake was awoken the next morning by a loud stirring. In an instant his eyes flew open and he looked at his hands and then his surroundings. He was still human. Still tiny. Damn. Damn, damn, damn! Jake was about to lose all hope when another loud stirring noise reminded him of what had woken him up. There, next to his bedside table-top bunk, was his titanic coworker stretching up and out from under her covers, still in her t-shirt and underwear from the night before. As she stood up out of bed and stretched her arms in the air, her t-shirt raised giving Jake a clear view of her panty-clad bottom. Okay, yes, there were some perks to being small. He had been trying to resist feeling aroused by Liz’s form, but this was just too much, especially in the morning when he was already hard just from waking up. Seeing her begin to turn, however, he immediately feigned sleep to avoid being caught looking. As turned on as he was by the giant sight in front of him, Jake was sure getting caught staring with an erection would probably not go over well.
Liz was not a morning person, but she had to work today so there was no choice. Time to get up. Shoving her covers to the side she climbed out of bed and stretched her arms up like she usually did. As she stretched, she had a feeling she was forgetting something. Shit. Jake was right below her, in clear view of her while she had no pants on. Liz quickly lowered her arms and glanced, finding Jake sound asleep. Liz exhaled with relief and did her best to walk silently out of the room and over to the bathroom for her quick morning shower. Too bad he was asleep, she thought to herself, he might have enjoyed the view.
After he was certain Liz had left the room Jake’s primal urges took over. He had just witnessed one of the sexiest sights of his life and now he couldn’t help but stroke his length. It felt so good to let go a little bit, like an itch being finally scratched. As his hand gently fondled his glans Jake wondered what everything would have looked like beneath those panties. No. Too far, he thought to himself. He was betraying her trust with thoughts like this.
Jake’s brain and his cock shared their feelings of disappointment as he stopped stroking himself and got out of bed. The clothes he had slept on had proven to be soft and comfortable. Another thing he had to thank Liz for. Jake sat there for a few minutes, trying to motivate himself to move but ended up lying back down on his bed.
Soon after the shower noises in the distance stopped. There was some brief thumping and noises before the familiar thudding of Liz’s steps approached and she re-entered, fully clothed and ready for work.
“G’morning, Liz,” Jake called up to her from the bed.
“Good morning, Jake. Finally awake, are you?” she asked.
Jake played dumb. “Yeah, I figured I should probably get up sometime,” he replied.
“Have you though at all about working from here?” Liz asked.
“I think I’m going to ask if it’s okay. I’ll make up some story about a family emergency or something,” he said.
“Good plan.” Liz wanted to ask what he would do if he never changed back, but now was not the time. Jake had been through a lot and in spite of yesterday he actually seemed to be doing okay this morning. “So you’re okay with hanging out on the desk today?”
“Yeah, if I could get a ride over there that would be great.”
Liz obliged and carried Jake over to the living room. When he was placed down on the desk, Jake found that Liz had already left some things there for him. There was a mini corner of a sandwich, more than enough to feed him for the day, a small bottlecap full of water, and in the distance he noticed another small cup with card paper covering the top.
“I cut a corner off part of my lunch for you so you won’t get hungry while I’m gone. Hopefully there’s enough water for you there too,” she said. Sensing his confusion about the covered cut on the far corner of the desk, Liz explained, “Since getting to the toilet is a bit of a challenge for you, I brought the toilet to you. Hopefully leaving it covered will help keep the smell contained. How is that human nose of yours anyway?” she asked.
“That’s a good idea! Eh, the human nose is nowhere near as sensitive as before. It feels weird. You smell very nice though,” Jake said.
Liz smiled. Was that a flirt? Or was he just being nice? It was always hard to tell with Jake. “Well hopefully this works. Is there anything else you think you’ll need before I go?”
Jake thought for a moment. “Actually, there is. Do you have some string, some toothpicks, and a knife or something sharp?”
“Something sharp?” Liz asked, a little concerned.
“Don’t worry, I just want to try making something today,” Jake said with a smile.
“Alright, back in a minute.” Liz thumped off and returned with the requested items. She was still a little confused, but she trusted him and didn’t have time to ask further. “I’ve gotta run now, I’ll see you later today, okay? I’ll try and come back a bit early or something.”
“No problem, have a good day!” Jake said with a wave. And with that Liz turned and headed off. Her work clothes looked nice today, but the back of Jake’s mind was still focused on the sight he had seen so briefly this morning.
Now was not the time for that though, he had work today. Jake immediately got started and turned his computer on. He spent some time drafting, editing, and re-editing an email to fire off to the boss explaining there had been a family emergency and that he wouldn’t be able to come into the office for a while. He tried to leave it vague but phrase it in a way that HR couldn’t ask for details. When he finished, he read it a couple more times to be safe, breathed deeply, and hit send. Grabbing some of the sandwich to eat for breakfast he sat and waited for a few minutes while watching some dumb meme videos.
Suddenly there was a notification. A reply had come in already. That was fast. It must have been a slow day or something. Slightly nervous, Jake opened the message and read slowly. They weren’t happy he was a no-show today, but they agreed that if it was serious he could find a way to work from home instead. They offered him today to set up, sans pay. Good enough, he figured. As long as he could make enough to pay rent at his place and have some extra to get something to say thanks to Liz he figured one day’s pay was worth losing. He was ahead on his active projects anyways so it would be easy to get back on track starting tomorrow. He typed up a quick reply and sent it off. Looking at the corner of his screen he saw it was 10 and he had already finished his biggest challenge of the day. On to task number two.
Jake went over to the large spool of rope and started to unravel a long length, looping it around his arm so he could carry it easily. When he was satisfied, he walked over to the edge of the desk and tossed the loop over. The string plummeted down before stopping just short of the ground below. Far too short. Jake pulled the string back up and added another third to its length and tried again. This time the string fell with a good amount of length lying on the ground below with some slack between the top of the desk and the bottom. Perfect. Jake then doubled the length of the rope, tying the mid-point to Liz’s monitor stand and sliced the rope from its spindle, tossing both ends off the side of the desk one more time and confirming they were the right length. Excellent. Time to get crafting, he thought to himself.
Grabbing toothpicks one by one, Jake tied little knots around either end making rungs to form a miniature rope ladder. It took over an hour but the closer he got to the bottom of the string the faster at the process he became. By early afternoon was finished. Not wanting the ladder to get tangled as it dropped the last step was simply to roll it up and face it toward the edge. Once that had been done, Jake gave the roll a kick and over the side of the desk it flew, unraveling perfectly into a rope ladder. Jake was no longer trapped. No longer trapped on the desk anyway, but a little mobility was better than none. Jake sat down to finish off his lunch from Liz along with most of the water she had left. Then, it was adventure time.
The first rung was more than slightly scary. The drop to the floor was well over 8 times his height and while he figured he was probably a bit more durable at this size than before, he didn’t want to test it. Thankfully, his handiwork held fast and he was able to climb with little difficulty. His small mass didn’t even make the ladder swing significantly as he descended. It took a minute, but Jake made it to the floor. Now it was time to wander around this temporary new home a bit.
* * *
Meanwhile at work, Liz had found herself incapable of focusing. All she could think of was going home to Jake. In the weeks leading up to yesterday, she had constantly been finding excuses to talk to him at work and even given him her number, but now he was staying at her house. And he had somehow been transformed into a tiny human. She felt bad that it had happened to him so suddenly and unexpectedly, but another part of her felt like the stars were aligning themselves for her. All she had to hope for that he would finally realize and reciprocate the feelings she had for him. Just thinking about the possibility made her heart race, and other parts of her body shudder with excitement.
She reassured herself that it wasn’t just the sexual side of things that she was interested in, although she had to admit the possibilities were exciting. She was mostly excited to share a new and unique life with Jake and to take care of him. She wasn’t interested in forcing things. Jake would fall in love with her, or he wouldn’t. Liz stared up at the clock again and shifted in her seat. She was getting wet just thinking about yesterday, and the future. Maybe she would just skip her workout today and hang out with him this evening. She could go back to her daily jogs tomorrow or something. Maybe she should just tell him how she was feeling. No, it was too soon. Gah, why can’t work end faster?
* * *
Jake was enjoying his new freedom of mobility around the house. He ended up doing a full lap of the place, awed by how large everything was. Nearly every major surface was at least eight to ten times his height off the ground. He was going to need to fashion more ladders if he wanted to get around the house more easily.
Eventually his trek took him to the bathroom. So far, the floor had been mostly bare but as he rounded the corner Jake noticed a small mound in the centre of the floor. As he approached, he noticed it was both a familiar colour and shape. There in front of him sat the pair of panties Liz had been wearing this morning before wandering out of the bedroom. The fabric was as large as a triangular sail to Jake and the smell was… Jake couldn’t help it anymore. He leaned in and had a sniff. Then another. He traced his nose around the article of clothing until he found the spot he was looking for right in the middle.
This is wrong, he thought. So wrong. But what if it wasn’t. What if she did want him back? Should he just ask? Maybe, but it was too soon now. For the time being he would have to settle for this. Jake enjoyed himself there for a few more minutes before deciding it wasn’t worth Liz coming home and finding him like this, fully erect and pleasuring himself in her undergarments. Standing himself up and donning his quickly discarded handkerchief toga, Jake set off on the return journey to the desk. He was lucky he started when he did because by the time he reached the desk’s top he heard the lock to the front door turn in the distance followed by the familiar thumping noise of Liz walking through the door. “I’m hooooome,” she called cheerfully.
Jake’s heart rushed slightly at the sound of her voice. “Hey! Welcome back!” he called out once he figured Liz was close enough for his smaller voice to be heard. “How was today?”
“I’m glad I’m back. It’s so boring in the office without anyone to tease,” Liz said. Jake blushed slightly but Liz was too far away to see it. “But I did hear you got the ok to work from home. That’s great!” She added excitedly.
“Yeah, I will start back at it tomorrow. It might even mean the same pay for a reduced workload. Who knows?” Jake said.
“Don’t count on that,” Liz said with a laugh. Yet again she wanted to ask about his thoughts about what to do if he never changed back, but she didn’t want to kill the happy mood. “What’s this, did you make a ladder?” she asked, looping a finger around the rope ladder hanging off the side of the desk.
“Yeah, I ended up spending most of today working on that,” Jake said.
“Does it work?” Liz asked.
“Yeah, I’ve tested it going down then up once, but other than that I’ve been hanging out up here all day,” Jake lied.
“It looks great!” Liz said, impressed with Jake’s ingenuity. “Smart idea. You might have to make a few more this week.”
“It’ll be nice to be able to explore the house once more of those are set up,” Jake said. He was honestly proud that he could assert some independence and was looking forward to adding more mobility to his new daily life.
“I’m going to hit the bathroom. Back in a minute. Let me take this with me,” Liz said, grabbing the makeshift toilet cup from off the table and taking it with her. When she reached the bathroom she saw the discarded panties she had left in the centre of the floor that morning. Crap. Hopefully Jake hadn’t seen those. She was going to have to be careful as he gained easier access to the rest of her place. After she was finished Liz washed out the cup that had been left on the desk during the day. Then, before heading back to the living room, she made sure to toss her panties into her dirty clothes hamper in the bedroom. While in her room she also changed out of her work clothes and into some casual shorts and a t-shirt.
Heading back to the room, Liz saw that all the food was gone from Jake’s plate she had left on the table. Feeling a bit hungry herself, she asked, “Say, you want to make some supper together?”
“Sure, what have you got in mind?” Jake asked.
“I was thinking of making some pizza from scratch today,” Liz suggested. “Although it would be a vegetarian pizza,” she felt she had to say.
“Sure, I don’t know if I can help, but I’d love to watch,” Jake said.
“I was thinking you could be the DJ for my cooking ‘show’ or something,” Liz said with a twinkle in her eye. Jake agreed enthusiastically, happy that he could play an active role.
Liz disconnected Jake’s phone from the mount and carried it with him into the kitchen. There she briefly left them on the kitchen island before returning with a Bluetooth speaker that was easily larger across than Jake was tall.
“Those are some big speakers,” Jake said absent-mindedly.
“A little, I guess,” Liz giggled. She helped him pair his device by pressing the buttons that proved too stiff for Jake’s diminished strength. “Alright, time to get some tunes playing while I get some veggies chopped and some dough mixed up.
Jake decided to start with some lo-fi. He always found it helped him get work done quickly and he liked the soft hip-hop beats. It turned out Liz did too. “Nice choice,” she said as she swayed her hips gently to the beat right in front of Jake. Jake couldn’t help but blush at the sight. He turned back to the phone and pretended to search for the next song to hide it.
Before long Liz had finished mixing some dough together and was ready for the next step, kneading and stretching it out. After she scattered some flour on the island countertop, she dropped her large ball of dough which landed with a loud slam, shaking the island surface below Jake slightly. Casual power displays via simple cooking tasks. Yet another thing to add to the growing list of things that had aroused Jake over the past couple days. Since kneading dough was a little more active, Jake switching from lo-fi to funk. Liz recognized the classic song and smiled over the Jake.
“Niiiiiice, I like this song,” she said, leaning forward and pressing her palms into the dough.
Jake watched as her powerful palms plunged down into the dough, massaging it to the rhythm and reshaping it before plunging down again. Liz kept her arms pushed in and braced most of the time she was working the dough up and down which meant that Jake was treated to a front row seat of her cleavage as it wiggled subtly under her shirt with each movement. He did his best not to stare but couldn’t help it. He was just too overwhelmed at Liz’s massive beauty and raw power on display right in front of him.
Once the dough had been flattened out into a pizza-shaped disc, Liz got to work spreading some tomato paste over the top and tossed on some cheese and the chopped veggies from before. As she was finishing the oven beeped loudly, signaling it was heated up and ready to go.
“Perfect timing,” Liz said, still wiggling her hips to the beat. Carefully she transferred her handiwork onto a pan and turned around, opening the oven and bending over to put the pizza in. As she bent down, her tail flicked straight up and splayed all over her back for a second, perfectly highlighting her curves. Jake just stood there silently, awed by Liz’s ephemeral and seemingly accidental display of sexuality.
The slam of the oven closing awoke Jake from his trance just in time for Liz to turn around and meet his gaze. “And now we wait,” Liz declared.
“It’s not time to wait, it’s time to dance!” Jake said, as he threw on a pop song. He hadn’t ever really behaved like this before, but he was really starting to come out of his shell around Liz. Maybe it was his current arousal, maybe it was his tiny size, maybe it was her, maybe all of the above, but who cared. Jake started swaying and jumping around in time with the beat of the song he was playing. His head whirled around too much for him to pay attention to much around him.
Far above him, Liz’s eyes gazed down. She continued moving her hips to the beat of the song he had chosen, but her real focus was little Jake, shaking and dancing like his life depended on it. It was equal parts adorable and attractive. Liz bit her lip slightly, enjoying the outburst of expression. Then an idea struck her.
“Looks like you have a dancing partner coming, Jake,” Liz announced. Jake slowed his dancing and looked up confused and saw Liz’s closed hand fast approach with her index and middle fingers outstretched. When the tips of both fingers, each nearly as long as Jake was tall, landed on the island countertop, she began to move and sway them as if they were the legs of a dancer. She did her best to match the tiny moves of Jake but he was such a hot mess that they both ended up doing random moves to the beat and laughing. The two of them continued laughing and dancing, or at least Liz’s hand danced, for a few more songs until the oven timer went off behind them.
The nice thing about pizza was how easy it was for Liz to share with Jake. All she had to do was cut the very tip off each of the slices she took and the two of them had proportionally sized food with similar toppings. Today was proving to be a great success for both Jake and Liz. He was happy with his DJ skills and she with her cooking. As they ate, they both discovered that they shared a favourite food: pizza. Although Jake had to admit that it was a close tie between this and steak. Liz just laughed, saying she would take his word for how delicious it was.
When they were all finished, Liz decided she wanted to play some games before going to bed. Jake, who had already been tired from all the crafting and adventuring earlier on in the day, decided to just sit and watch from the top of the desk.
“Here, you can use this as a makeshift chair,” Liz said, as she dropped a small clean shirt in a wrinkled pile on the desk.
Jake went ahead and flopped on. “How do you get your shirts to be so soft and smell so fresh?” he asked.
“Trade secret,” Liz replied.
For the next couple hours jake watched mostly in silence as Liz played some more of the game they had been playing yesterday. Lying down on the makeshift chair between the keyboard and the edge of the desk, Jake was able to easily switch back and forth between watching the game and gazing at beautiful Liz as she focused intently above him. As the minutes ticked on Jake noticed that Liz was leaning more and more forwards. She must have been really into the game. There were even a few tense minutes during some games where her V-neck wasn’t more than arm’s reach away from the tiny man. Jake did his best to focus forward, but the more time Liz’s chest spent near him the more clouded his mind became.
Liz was in fact enjoying her game, but she had an ulterior motive this evening. Today at work while she had been thinking more about Jake and how much she was into him, she had decided to try a few ‘moves’ she had seen in the various animes and movies she had been binging over the years. She wasn’t experienced romantically but she figured she wanted to give things a try. Tonight, she was hoping that Jake would notice just how much she was leaning close to him and that maybe, just maybe, he would consider finding a way to lean into her sometime soon. That was not to be tonight, however, as Jake sat politely watching her progress, cheering her on occasionally. Liz was slightly disappointed but it was only day two, so she didn’t feel too down. He’ll come around eventually, she thought.
The rest of the night was uneventful. Liz eventually got tired of her game and the two headed off to bed, Liz on her bed and Jake using the clothes still on the bedside table. This time it was Liz who fell asleep first. Jake had regained some energy while sitting and watching her play games and he ended up staying up for a while longer, gazing at the enormous equine beauty sleeping peacefully before him. It wasn’t much longer before he too fell asleep.
