Evan still trembled from the ice cold water that Austin had held him beneath to get him clean.

Despite smelling like his own dish soap and knowing that all of the spunk had sloughed off of his little body into the drain, Evan swore he could still feel it on him. Every few seconds he squirmed in the giant's grip, which only made the huge chest he was held against rumble with laughter.

“What?” Austin boomed, his thumb tousling Evan's wet hair, “Where are you trying to go?”

The world around him blurred slightly as Austin carried him through the house but he distinctly felt the giant going upstairs and his eyes widened in confusion. He expected to be tossed back into the cage and the padlock slammed down onto it once more but instead, he watched the familiar sights of his second floor go by.

Sam's now empty office sat on one side and opposite that was a guest bedroom that somehow managed to look less austere after Sam took its décor with her. A linen closet and a largely untouched guest bathroom were next and then finally the spacious master bedroom with its attached bathroom and sizable walk-in closet.

Evan stumbled when he was set down onto the floor at Austin's huge feet and then he jumped when the bedroom door crashed shut behind the giant. The immense young man simply stepped over him toward the closet and Evan's head turned to follow him, only for his jaw to drop immediately.

Three lumpy looking black garbage bags sat inside the closet, two had the word 'donation' scrawled across them in silver sharpie and the other was labeled 'trash'. Turning his head to take in the rest of the room and seeing that everything but the furniture had disappeared, Evan figured that 'trash' meant his own collection of knick-knacks, photos, and probably the random accoutrements he had kept in the bathroom that the pair didn't need.

They were throwing his entire life away.

Austin let out a contented sigh as he kicked off his slides and then peeled off his shirt.

The giant wasn't particularly yoked but staring up at his bare broad chest, Evan could see that he was definitely fit. More fit than Evan was, both now and when the smaller man was Austin's age. The floor rumbled as he crossed back into the room, picked up a laptop from a bag at the foot of the bed and then flopped down onto the huge plateau.

The pair had already changed out Evan's sheets though the comforter at least remained the same.

He simply stood there, dumbfounded and staring up at Austin's bare soles hanging over the edge of the bed, trying to comprehend why he had been brought up there.

On some level, Evan could wrap his head around the strange criminal scheme the pair had cooked up; shrink people, take their stuff, move on. It wasn't particularly brilliant except for the fact that no one could ever see the first part of the plan coming. On the other hand though, he couldn't figure out why he was still there.

At this size, he couldn't have been anything more than a liability to the pair. If he got out or anyone saw him, the whole thing would come tumbling down around them. It made him wonder if they were going to kill him as soon as he turned over information about his bank account and the like. Yet, he thought about the shrunken man Austin had just admitted to keeping like some sort of sex toy in the 'last house.'

It was possible that they had killed the owners of the house and then kept their son around for their own sick pleasure but that thought made Evan's skin crawl.

He stared up at the huge feet above him as they flexed and wondered if the pair could just be full-on psychopaths. Evan sat down and struggled to remember what he had learned about psychopathy and sociopathy in the one psychology course he took in college. He knew that such people weren't actually robotic killing machines but in reality were simply unsettlingly detached and often ambitious, or perhaps he was getting them confused with some other pop-psychology article he had read at some point.

It didn't really matter, Evan realized, since they already shrank him down to a size where he was utterly powerless to stop them from doing anything to him. If he tried to resist them and their attempts to get his money, they would undoubtedly hurt him or at least starve him in the cage, so for the moment his best move was simply to play along until an opportunity arose to escape or get back at them.

A great gurgling noise interrupted his thoughts and he realized that it was Kelsey unstoppering the tub. The sound of water sloshing and the young woman letting out a pleased moan echoed out next and then he heard her bare feet slapping loudly against the stone floor of the master bathroom, since he had only replaced the bath mat that sat in front of the shower.

The door to the master bath opened and faint wisps of steam rolled out followed by the giantess herself. She had kept the black sweatpants that she wore at dinner but she now wore an oversized navy blue t-shirt with a faded symbol over the left breast that clearly belonged to her boyfriend at some point in its lifespan. Her hair was done up in a loose bun that bounced with every step of her bare feet against the carpet.

“Thanks for picking up the bath stuff, babe,” she purred as she leaned across the bed and pecked the giant on the lips, “Did you have fun with our little guy?”

The question made Evan's stomach churn at the memory of jacking the giant off.

“Oh yeah,” Austin boomed, his voice rumbling with laughter, “And I'm setting up the fake airbnb stuff now...”

“Awesome,” Kelsey paused on the bed and then her head rose up, her eyes scanning the room until they landed on Evan. She grinned and bent down to give Austin another quick peck on the cheek, “And you brought my tiny bitch up here for me...”

“I know what you like...” The giant replied with a chuckle.

Kelsey started to walk toward him, her strides slow and laborious, and Evan stumbled backward. There was none of the uncomfortable sexual hunger that Austin had on his face when he picked Evan up but there was something extremely off-putting about the lazy smile on her face.

“Where're you going to go, huh?” She cooed as Evan's back hit the closed bedroom door. The giantess giggled as her feet smacked down right in front of him, her bare unpainted toes wiggling against the carpet fibers. Dainty hands descended from the heavens and Evan's flailing resistance did nothing to stop them.

He was ripped into the sky and then buried against Kelsey's chest.

Rich scents of lavender and sandalwood replaced the earthy patchouli oil the girl had been wearing earlier but that did little to make Evan feel better. Her arm was strong against his back, preventing him from doing anything but feebly twitching as she carried him back to the bed.

Kelsey crept into it and Evan's whole body deflated as she let out a happy sigh.

“This is perfect,” the giantess said as she began to slide air pods into her ears.

“Yeah?” Austin wrapped an arm around her and Evan's body was pressed against the giant's bare skin when Kelsey cuddled close.

“Mhmm,” she nodded, her eyes already drooping slightly, “We have a nice soft bed again and I have a cute little thing in my arms...”

The force pinning Evan against Kelsey's chest increased and he grunted in pain, which didn't seem to bother the giant girl at all.

She simply smacked her lips sleepily, “I took an edible right as I started the bath...”

Austin's hand played with her hair, “Sleepy?”

Kelsey made a cute noise of assent while cuddling closer, pinning Evan between her chest and her boyfriend's.

The bed frame groaned and a cool gust of wind blasted across Evan's world as the pair got underneath the covers. “Better?” The giant asked, only to be met with another soft noise.

Warm flesh pressed against Evan's back as the giants kissed, “Sleep well.”

Kelsey made a noise like 'mhm' as she shut her eyes.

The lights dimmed and Evan struggled against the weight of Kelsey's arm to turn his body and look up. Evan had to bite his lips from letting out a scream of victory when he saw Austin controlling the lights with the smaller man's phone before setting it back on the nightstand.

Sam had always sneered at his insistence on installing various pieces of tech to turn their house into a smart home but it meant that his gigantic captors had to keep his phone around. Which meant that he might be able to get help sooner rather than later.

Behind him, he could already feel Kelsey's body starting to slacken from sleep and while a part of him was shocked at how easily the girl could pass out, he knew that it meant he'd be able to get to his phone soon enough.

All he had to do was wait for Austin to fall asleep.

He waited, watching the immense giant stare down at the laptop. He had clearly stopped working on whatever bit of fraud he had already committed to help make them staying in Evan's house look legitimate and was just mindlessly scrolling through websites. Kelsey had completely fallen asleep within ten minutes but Austin remained sitting there, his huge fingers occasionally tapping against the keyboard but mostly running against the touchpad.

The weight of Kelsey's arm across Evan's chest steadily grew weaker the longer she slept until he was finally able to wriggle himself out of her grasp. He dropped down onto the bedspread between where she lay and Austin's immense thigh and held his breath, in case the giant turned to look down at him.

Instead, the immense young man yawned and finally shut the laptop.

Evan watched him pick up the phone and turn the lights out before simply setting the laptop onto the floor and then sinking down into the bed. The mattress shuddered beneath the behemoth's shifting weight and Evan had to press himself almost flat against the sheet to keep from stumbling about.

Shadows flowed around him and he watched Austin's immense arm wrap around Kelsey's body. The little man bit his tongue as the girl unconsciously moved in her sleep, cuddling closer to her boyfriend's chest and then reaching out for him with the same arm that had just kept Evan pinned. The shrunken man remained still as he watched Kelsey's arm rise and fall with each of Austin's deep breaths.

His own eyes began to droop from watching the hypnotic scene but eventually Austin fell asleep too and that was when Evan began to move.

Clambering over the thick comforter, he crawled down the slight divot between the pair.

Each one of their slight movements made him freeze in terror, expecting them to wake up and instantly realize what he was doing. Instead, the pair remained asleep, utterly unaware of his movement.

He wasn't sure who he wanted to call as he carefully picked his way around Austin's immense feet. The police were the obvious option but there was a good chance that any beat cop would accept their fake airbnb email, or whatever Austin had forged for them, without a second glance. He doubted that any of his coworkers would be a good choice and at least one of them would be just as bad as Austin and Kelsey were based on the porn he had once caught them watching when they were working late one night.

Crawling up Austin's other side, Evan decided that his lawyer was the best choice.

He hadn't paid the man a retainer or anything but people called their divorce lawyers up with other legal problems all the time, or at least Evan assumed that they did. Being shrunk and captured was certainly not a crime that any lawyer had dealt with previously but at least a lawyer might have a chance of figure out what actual crimes were committed against him. Furthermore, a lawyer would have some kind of responsibility to him.

For a retaining fee, it would be his lawyer's job to ensure the best outcome for him. No being carted off to a lab where Evan would be poked and prodded. Hell, a lawyer would probably have every incentive to make sure that no one would persecute him for his new and extremely unique disability. Not if the lawyer wanted to keep getting paid anyway.

Evan nodded his head fervently as he reached the edge of the bed, where he could simply reach over and grab his phone off of the nightstand. His lawyer was surely the best person to call at a moment like this.

It felt strange to grab his phone with both hands and he frowned when he felt the overwhelming weight of it. With a grunt, Evan managed to lift it up and set it against his headboard. The screen was dimmed but there was a strange comfort in seeing the enormous clock that had come with the latest Android update staring back at him.

Swiping his hand across the surface, he expected to see that his phone had remained unlocked or for his passcode screen to come up. Instead though, all that remained was the big clock, its numbers utterly unphased by his hand running across the screen.

He pushed his hand against the screen, even though he knew very well that the amount of pressure didn't matter. It remained the same and he let out a frustrated noise as he smacked his hand against it but still the screen was unbothered. Running his hands across it again and again did nothing. No amount of pressure mattered nor did the amount of flesh he pushed against the screen.

The whole thing remained completely inert.

He stood there, panting and frustrated.

And then he felt the bed shift beneath his feet.

Evan stumbled about as a low powerful noise rumbled out from the gargantuan young man beside him. “Huh?” The giant muttered, rubbing sleep from his eyes as he looked down at the shrunken man.

A part of him wanted to run and hide but there was nowhere to go from the edge of the bed except a dangerous leap to the floor.

It was too dark to actually see Austin's eyes focus on him but he felt the weight of the giant's gaze upon his much smaller body and then he saw shadows wrap around his phone. “What were you trying to do, little guy?” The giant asked with a soft chuckle as the phone went up into the sky, “Were you trying to call for help?”

“Pl-please,” Evan stammered but another set of dark shadows were already wrapping around his torso.

He squirmed against Austin's loose grip, his hand was not quite large enough to wrap around Evan's entire torso, which meant the little man was hanging slack in the open sky on his left side. The giant didn't care though, he simply stood up and made Evan's whole world lurch dangerously about.

“I really thought you had gotten it,” the giant boomed around a yawn as his feet smacked down across the carpet below, “All you had to do was be a good little stuffie for Kels...”

“I'm a person,” Evan said desperately, his voice cracking as he was swung about.

“Nah,” Austin chuckled, “You're not a person...”

The world pitched downward and Evan yelped as he heard the giant shifting huge piles of clothing around.

“People wear clothes, they can use things like phones and computers, they can't be picked up and shoved around when they cause trouble,” though Evan couldn't see it, he could easily hear the smile in Austin's voice, “Does that sound like you?”

He squirmed indignantly and battered his free arm against Austin's huge thumb, “I'm not just some lost puppy you found on the side of the road or a toy you bought, I'm a person. A person that you did this to!”

Austin started to lower Evan down and a dank scent wafted up into his nostrils, making him cough and sputter.

“Well, you're not a person anymore,” The younger man boomed as the smell grew stronger and more intense.

Looking down, Evan could see the dark mouth of a sneaker growing wider below him. “What are you doing?!” He whacked the giant's thumb once more.

“It's a pretty light punishment, dude.”

The giant shoved him down inside of the sneaker and Evan instantly gagged on the scent. The moment the fingers withdrew, he started to try and claw his way out. It was a tight space but it wasn't as if it would be impossible to simply back his way out.

And then a damp heavy ball landed on the backs of his legs and shoved down against them.

The smell seemed to get worse and he heard Austin's muffled laughter echoing out from above.

“Enjoy the stink of a dozen miles, little guy,” the whole prison shuddered from Austin presumably kicking it, “I might go for a run tomorrow morning, so you won't be in there long. I just want you to think about your new place in life while you're in there.”

Evan shouted, even though he doubted the giant would be able to hear it through the sneaker's material.

“Nighty night,” Austin boomed and his footsteps rumbled through Evan's prison until eventually the little man heard the distant groaning of the bed frame as Austin settled back into it.
