Alex and Erycas relationship had reached a rather rocky point. While, yes they were in love, complications arising from the plague were rudely presenting themselves in their faces. First and foremost, Alex was like a baby. He was either always by Erycas side, or always in constant danger. Alex felt useless and despite Erycas attempts to assure him he wasnt a burden, he knew she was lying. Not to mention the personal problems arising from the shrinking:
Hey
Alex, dearheart
Yeah, he said groggily, sitting up on her stomach. That had become his new bed as of late. That and occasionally her left breast.
Its been almost a week since you shrank.
Yeah
it has
I wanna thank you for doing all these things for me--looking out for me, and still loving me.
Well
I know how you can thank me.
How?
Since you shrank
we havent done any
you know
sensual things. And while I certainly love you, I still have urges to do stuff
so
can you?
Uhm
I dont know how well I can satisfy you at this size, but--
Well
just crawl in and--
No!
But if--
No, absolutely not!
Just try--
Hell no!
Well why not?!
Im not particularly fond of downing, and Im claustrophobic, Alex grumbled, turning away from Eryca.
Well, Im sorry
but I have needs too, you know.
Yeah, and so do I. I need oxygen.
Are you really claustrophobic?
Well
kinda
Youre just afraid youll get crushed down there, arent you?
Yes, damn it! Im not fond of death! How about I play with your boobs while you play with yourself down there? That sound fun? You know where everything is down there, why have me clumsily groping around and facing possible death?
Damn it, Alex, I have needs too. Women are just as entitled to their right to be horny as men are, and I havent gotten any sensual feeling all week!
Alright, fine, you have needs. You know what, Ill do what I can. Take your damn pants off. Bitch.
Alex stood up, grumbling something under his breath as Eryca giggled and slid off her pants.
Conversations like that have been fairly common. Unfortunately, Alexs size makes bringing Eryca to orgasm rather difficult. Oh, its not that he doesnt try. He does all the right things, massaging the inner walls with his hands while rubbing the clitoris with his chin, or feet (depending on what position hes in.) He tried, lord knows he tried, but in the end the only sexual feelings he was able to bring to Eryca was the equivalent of foreplay. She always had to finish the job herself. When she had to do so, it would only reinforce Alexs feelings of helplessness and utter unimportance.
Alex was sitting in Erycas hand as she channel surfed. It had been almost three weeks since he shrank. Eryca turned off the TV and began giggling.
What, whats so funny, Alex asked, looking up to see her smiling face hovering above him.
Youre sooo cute!
Youve said that ever since I shrank.
Well, its true. Youre adorable. I could just eat you up.
Alex cringed, and Eryca laughed at his shuddering. Do you have to do that--make fun of me and scare me like that?
Oh, Im sorry, she said, planting a kiss on his head. Its just so fun to tease you now. It was fun when you were normal too, but now--
Well, Im glad youre having fun making fun of my handicap.
Oh, dont be such a Grumpy Gus. I only make fun of you--
Because I love you. Yeah, yeah, yeah--I invented that quote, dear.
I do love you.
And I love you.
They kissed. Yes, they still loved each other very much, and for a long time it did seem like things would work out.

It was three in the morning. Alex had fallen asleep on Erycas bosom, snuggling up to her hand. He woke up his bladder feeling like it was going to burst.
Eryca, wake up, I need you to take me into the bathroom. Eryca. Eryca, move your ass, Alex shouted, smacking at his girlfriends face. She smiled and uttered something between a giggle and a snore. Eryca, I have to pee, this isnt funny. Wake up, damn it!
Still Eryca slept on. Alex walked to the edge of the bed
no way in hell he was jumping. He looked around for anything he could use to shimmy to the ground. Nothing. He was trapped on the bed, nowhere to go, and he had to pee like never before. It was at this moment Alex realized just how helpless he was in this state, and went through the long awaited relapse into a state of dementia and insanity.
