It was an ordinary day for everyone here in this prestigious university, from students hurrying to get to their classes, to professors and staff making sure their jobs were done before classes fully started. Everyone was busy with their ongoing lives, unaware that this was the day where everything would change. Not that they will know, of course.

It all started with a certain kobold, walking the halls of the history building that he treated as his third home; first was his actual home in the town over, and the second was the dorm he spent tireless nights studying until he reached the end, close to graduating from his dream college that specializes in what he was interested the most: history, artifacts, and so much of the past world…

And also its football team. And while he was too puny to even join one, as a gay kobold the buff guys certainly helped cement his decision to go here. Especially so when he's rooming with one.

Tony shook his head, dispelling those gay thoughts for a good while and replacing them with giddy, curious ones. He had received an email from his archeology professor earlier, containing some friendly greetings and an invite to his office for 'something of great interest'. He didn't know what it was nor did he ask, he just immediately took it. It usually means that the old professor got a hold of something cool again.

"Probably from the dig site again. I wonder what it is…" He mumbled dreamily, fully ignoring the stares of unknowing freshmen staring at a kobold just shy of being half their height. At 3 foot 4, the 23 year old kobold was quite tiny, his slim red-scaled frame adding to that. He's much shorter and lighter than the average kobold but that didn't deter him from achieving his dreams, and with enough determination and perseverance, he's now just one step further from it.

That still didn't make the comments about his size not annoying, but it was much more bearable now than it was before. He was just glad he wasn't picked on by the jocks…except for one in particular, but he doesn't really count, if ever.

After a few more minutes of walking, he finally reached a certain professor's door. As always, it was decorated with crudely drawn stickers of various historical artifacts, making the kobold chuckle.

"He really likes the sticker paper we bought before." After admiring the door, he finally knocked once, twice before waiting a bit. He looked around and greeted a few professors he knew, some students like him waving at him before the door opened. An old raven in his usual brown coat and pants appeared, graying feathers around their head and with a cheerful smile on their beak.

"Ah, Tony! That was quite fast. Come in, come in." The raven immediately guided the kobold in with a warm smile, watching the short kobold being excited, entering the premises with a wagging stubby tail.

"Hello there, Professor Kris. And I got some free time, so I quickly ran here." Tony felt in peace again looking around the room; it was just as homey as he last visited. The light-colored walls and curtains by the windows made this place feel like a part of a cozy home. Even with all the heavy shelves filled with thick journals and knickknacks, it really felt like they brought their home in the college. "This place looks amazing as always, professor."

"Ah, thank you." The raven simply chuckled, admiring it alongside them before leading the kobold to the table. "Now, how about we have some tea before we move on."

"Sure! Thank you professor."

Tony sat in the comfy one seater, all the while telling the old professor about his current subjects, his near-graduation and the fact he's only taking an extra class for the credit. As he kept talking, the room was slowly being filled with the scent of the black tea the old raven is making. The raven just listened happily, eventually giving one to the kobold who took it.

"Thank you, professor." Tony grabbed the cup, taking a sip after cooling it down a bit. "This tastes so good, but uh, not to be too hasty but…the thing you mentioned in the email?"

"Hmm? Ah, of course. No worries, Tony." The old raven chuckled, taking a sip of his tea before moving to the corner of the room. Tony took a hasty gulp of his tea, thanking his kobold genes for not getting burnt, before hopping off the sofa and following them.

He saw the raven stop beside something covered in cloth, and already he felt excited to see what’s behind it. "I-is that it?"

The raven nodded, slowly pulling the cloth away, and the kobold was instantly in awe at the cube-like artifact sitting comfortably on some pillows; the red wagon underneath it was a property of the college. He silently asked for permission, and when granted, he crept closer, his eyes lit with curiosity.

The thing was unlike what they've studied before; it had some similarities from the old civilization with its material, but the lines and circular indentations around it makes it different. It definitely reminds him of a Rubik's cube, though aside from the side this one felt too old in design and making. Judging from the way it sank against the cushions, it was definitely heavy, and he's not even gonna try considering his stature. So he started poking it after getting permission again, feeling the hard material against his finger; definitely made of stone, and it was clear it was cleaned up before it got here.

Either way, it lit up a fire of curiosity inside the kobold. He heard the chuckles behind him and he was this close to hugging the professor. "This is amazing. I don't think we've seen something like this, right?" Tony was in his element, his stubby tail wagging ferociously as he continued his careful prodding. "Does it even come from the same area where we got the sample artifacts from? It looked like it but it's also different. Is it like a decoration? A contraption?"

"It's certainly a mystery what it really is. Though you are correct in thinking it came from the same dig site from what we have here, it was discovered much deeper than usual" The professor walked back to grab his cup of tea, sipping a bit as he watched the kobold continued his careful prodding. "Whatever it is, it was interesting enough to be cleaned and have some preliminary inspections, but with everyone busy this one was left out. So I took it with permission, along with its data."

The raven stood beside the kobold and patted him in the back with a warm smile. "And I thought to myself, maybe one of my students could take a crack at this, as a little extra project from yours truly."

"R-really!?" It took all of his willpower not to jump for joy, settling with tapping his foot excitedly. He had a chance to study some artifacts the last time he was in their class, but all of those were known already; aside from it being just a reassessment, their 'artifacts' weren't really anything. But this one is new! And real! He'll be the first one to truly study this! How cool is that?!

"But, really? Me? Is it fine for me to take this extra project alone?" 'And also to take this home?' he silently asked.

"Why, of course! I couldn't think of a perfect one to handle this." Kris nodded, though they eventually scratched their head in embarrassment as he confessed. "That and…all the other students are quite busy with their classes. You are the one who's quite free, so…"

"I don't care, I accept this!" Tony shouted, hugging the taller professor before going back to the device with a smile. He didn't mind that he was the only choice, he was more focused already on planning on taking the challenge, already taking note of some books he can borrow. It's just like before, but this was even better!

But all that excitement was drained when he realized that, well…he had to bring this to his dorm still. And with the way it's sinking on the cushions, there's simply no way he can carry this on his own. "Hmm…can I bring the wagon with me, professor? I think I'll have a hard time bringing this with me."

Professor Kris looked over to the device, then to the kobold, and he let out a soft 'ah…' before rubbing his chin in contemplation. “That is gonna be a problem. The wagon certainly helps but I remember you living on the third floor, correct?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna have a hard time pulling this over the stairs." Tony grumbled, checking back on the device with longing eyes. Of course, the professor won't just give the chance away now that he claimed it for himself, but still…

And that's when he had an idea. He could call on his roommate! Guess having a jock roommate really does have its perks, among other things. "I…think I have a solution, professor. Though I have to call my roommate if he's fine with it."

"Your roommate? Ah, I think I know who you're talking about. Strong and reliable, he is. Though quite a showoff."

"Hehe, yeah that's him." Tony just giggled at that description, because it's too true. That wolf had the right to show off though, what with being a star player and being a really big guy.

That was enough for the old raven, nodding to themselves as they chuckled along the ecstatic kobold. "Very well! I think he could help greatly, but you can still use the wagon to make it easier. Just make sure you two return it, okay?"

"We will! Thank you again, professor!" Tony said, his heart still jumping from the opportunity he just got. He immediately started hauling the wagon out of the history building after grabbing the clear manila folder filled with relevant data. The kobold's cheeks were about to break from all that smiling despite having a hard time pulling. He barely noticed the stares coming from the people; the sight of a short kobold dragging a little wagon was a bit chuckle-worthy despite the artifact he's hauling, but he really didn't care at this point. He got a little side project to be busy with, and he's gonna do his best to uncover the secret of this cube!

"First, I gotta go get some stuff from the library. Maybe I can cross-reference so–" The kobold is already planning his moves, but all that went down the drain when he remembered his big help. “Right, he should be in practice right now." He started walking a bit faster, keen on catching the big guy. If he's right, then he's got a few minutes left.

"I'll just settle with my notes for now. I have to catch up with Finn!"

***

Just as stated earlier, the college not only has a wonderful curriculum for those interested in history and archeology, but also a famous and strong football team enough to send them to Nationals almost every year. The football field was always bustling with activity, and today was one of them.

Huge players of different proportions rushed towards the goal, deep screams of shouts and calls were thrown around; it was truly a testosterone-filled activity. But there was a certain player that stood amongst them. A gray wolf rushed ahead, tackling all those who opposed him with the speed and power of a speeding car, his bulk obvious even under the padded armor.

"HAAAH!" The wolf jumped with a roar, practically slamming the football on the grassy field as a shrill whistle echoed through the field. "FUCK YEAH! TOUCHDOWN!" The wolf threw his helmet off and slammed it on the ground as well, his handsome face grinning as he began running around the field shouting and screaming. "LET'S GO LET'S GO!"

The others simply laughed at the wolf's antics, accepting his high fives and even his trademark strong, tight hugs. The senior student was always a cheerful and friendly presence to be around, and yet with such fast running speed and a strong, bulky build that rivals junior bodybuilders, the 6 foot 5 wolf is a rampaging beast in the field.

“Come on, now. Line up!" The coach of the team, an old, hefty jaguar, blew his whistle once more to get everyone's attention, especially the wolf who was still showing off his thick forearms to the new guys. "Finn!"

"Hmm? Heh, coming coach!" Finn basically sauntered over, leading the newbies around as he lined up with the taller players, two players in particular a couple inches taller than him. He didn't mind, especially since he was still the heaviest, technically still the big guy with a 30 pound difference between them at 270 pounds. He's just hoping the size diff gets bigger before he graduates this year, at least 10 pounds more.

"Nice work out there, everyone! Especially you, Finn." The coach said, staring at the proud wolf who flashed a small grin to him. "Showing off before you graduate, huh?"

"You said it, coach!" Finn said, wrapping his arms around the guys beside him, the hyena and the lion were different degrees of red as they felt those strong arms around them, the wolf simply grinning. "Gonna make a big showing to inspire the new guys."

"Well said. Well keep up the good work, because we got a new game soon."

Everyone calmed down at that, attentively listening as the jaguar told them the details. Finn was just excited to have another match, his tail wagging behind him. Deep down, he still can't believe he got a scholarship here due to his athleticism; the football team had been quite a big name where he's from, so of course he had to make sure he worked hard to not only get it but also maintain it. Studying was a bit tricky, but luckily he had a nerd roommate to help him in many ways.

'Speak of the devil…was that him over at the bleachers?' The wolf looked beyond the coach and saw the puny kobold waiting with his phone. 'Waiting for me, little nerd? Or are you looking for another jock?' Finn just smirked, but anything the nerd wants, he'll do it. It's a small payback in comparison to the amount of trouble the kobold had to endure just to help him graduate.

And luckily, the kobold didn't have to wait long as the coach immediately dismissed them with a fatherly salute. Rounds of laughter and body checks were thrown around, shoulder pads, helmets, and even shirts were thrown about before getting picked up, and Finn was no exception, capturing everyone's attention with his now-uncovered physique. Before the wolf could jog towards the kobold, a buff meerkat shouted at him.

"Hey, Finn? Not gonna shower?"

"In a minute, Luke! Gotta check up on something!" He didn't stay, letting the team captain on his own for now before jogging to the tiny nerd shirtless. He smirked when he saw him blush just seeing him, even more now that he was close, standing in the presence of his nerd friend; even with him sitting on a higher level, the wolf still needed to look down a bit.

"Hey there, Tony. Rare to see you on the field. What's up?"

"It's not that rare! I did watch the other game, right?" Said other game was a year ago, but Finn appreciated it all the same. He watched the kobold fix himself, dusting off his shirt before sitting with dignity. Even though they were roommates for so long, he still can't get over their size difference; around 200 pounds and a whole 3 feet between them. And despite that, the time they spent with each other, helping each other out made them close friends…sometimes with benefits.

Finn noticed the kobold staring at his shirtless form, and decided to treat him with a few pec bounces, making the kobold look away, blushing.

"Stop that. Besides, I was hoping you can help me with something, if you're done with practice that is."

"Of course I'll help! And you were just in time. Do you need this big bad wolf to carry something?" Finn polished his arm in front of the kobold who was one part exasperated and one part turned on, though he recovered quickly, used to his antics.

"Weeellll…as it turns out, yeah. Look at what I got over here." Tony pointed down at the bottom of the bleachers, and Finn immediately saw the wagon and some sort of…cube thing on it. The wolf, curious, simply marched towards it, Tony following suit as both leaned down to take a good look at it.

"Another artifact? Aren't you done with the archeology subject last year?" Finn was careful as he grabbed the cube and tried lifting it, yelping when he realized how heavy the cube was. "Oh shit, this thing is heavy! What the hell is this?"

"That's what I'm gonna do, actually. Find out what it is, I mean. And be careful with that!"

"Got it." Finn nodded, his tail low as he remembered what he'd almost done to the last artifact Tony brought back to the dorms for a project. That was the first time he saw Tony really angry, to the point he wouldn't be surprised if he was spitting fire by the next second, and he always hoped it'll be the last. The wolf gently lifted it up, turned it around to inspect it before setting it back down. He made sure to be gentle, and even then the wagon shook from the weight. Finn was just shocked that it was as heavy as it looks.

"Well, luckily for you, I can carry this thing around, though that wagon sure helps." Finn stretched his arms, bouncing in place as he's already preparing for the massive trek needed to take this thing to their dorm. "But again, why do you have this? Thought all your archeology classes are done now?"

"Oh, well…Professor Kris got this thing off from the archaeologist's latest haul, and he wanted someone to study this since they were too busy to study this one in particular, so…"

"You took the chance."

"I was the only one able to!" Tony defended himself, a bit of a blushing mess and Finn can't help but laugh. Leave it to the guy to let curiosity get the best of him. It reminded him when he got curious about sucking his cock and he let him do so.

He's getting ahead of himself, though. Right now, he stared at the cube for a bit before smiling towards the kobold.

"Nah, I'm just pulling your leg, dude." Finn said, hugging the tiny kobold with his sweaty, muscular body, though it didn't last long with Tony pushing him away. Again, nothing the wolf took offense with. "Still, you got a plan on what to do? I don't see any book with you."

"Well I do have the preliminary data from the professor. I thought I wouldn't be able to catch you so I didn't have time to visit the library. I'll just rely on my notes for now."

Finn just nodded with his beefy arms crossed, now a bit interested about this. He had no interest in stuff like this, but any chance to help the little nerd was a chance worth taking.

Tony stood up from his seat and smiled at the wolf. "Well, I just hope you're ready to carry this up the stairs."

"Heh, you kidding? I carry weights heavier than this in the morning." Saying this with both arms flexed up looked like a boast, but it really wasn't. He isn't the strongest in the team for nothing, and if it means helping the nerd, then he'll gladly do so! Though he just remembered that he was still fresh from practice, just from how pumped his arms looked. "But first, I gotta freshen up a bit. Unless you're into that mood right now~?"

"J-just go."

The wolf just laughed, jogging back to the showers and leaving the kobold blueballed. He saw the others already leaving, and entering the showers he saw a few guys still busy, even doing some…extra exercises. Finn just laughed, grabbing his hefty bulge before undressing himself. It has been a while since he relieved himself, but he rather do it when he's not in a hurry. He likes to take his time, you see~

But right now, he has a little nerd to help!

***

"Just a few more steps, Finn."

The kobold felt a bit bad seeing the wolf struggling to carry the cube in his arms. He was doing fine at the start, but with so many steps needed to get to their room, the wolf was definitely tired from the impromptu workout. His arms and shoulders were all pumped up and veiny as if he was deep in his workouts, his face scrunched and in deep focus. On one hand, he wished he could help the wolf besides guiding him around. He's really having a hard time.

On the other hand, he looks really, REALLY hot like this…

"I–ngh! Appreciate the stares, but you better get out of the way, nerd!"

Tony blushed as he scrambled to give way, giving Finn the wide berth he needed to lumber inside with the cube still wrapped around his arms. He immediately set it down on the beanbag they bought on a bargain that one time before sitting down on his bed, taking deep breaths as his slightly damp shirt rose and fell against his chest.

"Fuck, well that was a workout! Gonna have to wash again later."

Tony just stared at the big wolf, watching him flex his thick arms before shaking his head of gay thoughts and closing the door of their dorm.

Their shared room was a standard sized one, two beds on each side with a little table in between, plus quite a lot of space for a fridge and other stuff. They managed to share the one cabinet for their stuff, freeing some space for the small table they got at the same place they got the beanbag. They had a little bathroom for privacy, but there was one down the hall as well, though good luck getting to use it especially during the busy times.

And of course, there was the hulking wolf that was his roommate his entire time here. The two weren't at odds at first, just awkward, but one thing led to another and now they're thick as thieves, as the saying goes. He just can't get enough of those firm pecs that jutted out firmly, those thick arms thicker than his skinny kobold legs, and that friendly smile that seems to warm any ice around him. Every time Finn stretched was a show of strength, and of course, there was the–

"Still can't get enough of me, huh?"

The kobold didn't even flinch at Finn's remark, just sighed as he grabbed his notes and the manila folder from his bag. "Haah, you know I can't deny it at this point." Tony just trotted over to the beanbag and made himself comfy in front of it. Still he couldn't resist and looked back, watching the wolf throw his shirt over his shoulders and join him on the floor, both of them looking at the device with curious minds.

With the two beside each other, they can't help but compare themselves; one was short and skinny, pretty much of below average stature, and the other was tall and muscular, quite above average in stature. It makes for quite a weird duo, all things considered.

"So…what now, nerd?" Finn said, crossed legs in front of the cube. All he knew about the cube thing was that it was heavy and sturdy for an old thing. He watched the nerd put down his old notes in some order and just chuckled.

"Well, now I gotta do some light reading." Finn would like to protest that his notes aren't considered light reading, he should know, but before he could get a word in the kobold began talking a mile a minute, as he skimmed through the papers. "It's says here that the material of this is similar to the artifacts I've studied last time, but with it being dug deeper it probably means it's older. That explains these little lines and circles, I guess. And maybe…"

Finn merely sighed, stretching his body to relieve the tension as the kobold continued to ramble on. Tony already knew the jock wasn't listening to him anyway, it's just him thinking out loud, and Finn liked it as a little white noise when doing something else. Without disturbing him, Finn went to the bathroom to freshen up a bit before working on his own homework, still shirtless. Fortunately, his own work was much more manageable, especially with the nerd's notes he got.

By the time the sun was setting, the kobold was still alternating between reading the notes and checking in on the cube, while the wolf lounged around and posted pics of himself on his social media and gave the kobold a glass of water occasionally.

He can't really help with all that research, but the least he can do is make sure the nerd won't pass out from dehydration…or hunger. Which is why the wolf immediately ordered some pizzas for the both of them.

It was already nighttime when the pizzas were delivered. Finn set up the boxes just as Tony was about to finish taking notes, and the two enjoyed dinner with some lo-fi tune as a little background. Finn was chewing on his slice of all-meat pizza, staring at the cube when a thought came up.

"You know, this kinda looks like a massive Rubik's cube."

"Hmm? It kinda does, huh?" Tony said, munching on the crust while slowly turning the pages of his notes with a clean hand. "I was trying to find out if it's something akin to a toy or a recreational tool, but…"

"Do they even record stuff like that?"

"They actually do, though not as specific as I wanted to." Tony sighed, closing the book with a sullen look before grabbing another slice of pizza. "They group these by various categories and 'function' is one of them, but some oddities should be well noted. But not in this case, somehow."

Finn nodded, letting the kobold ramble on as he gobbled his slice. He scooted a bit closer to the cube, and with permission, started prodding the cube with a claw, tracing the lines even. He had to admit, with the nerd's curiosity, even he's now curious on what this thing is.

Tony sighed, taking another slice of pizza as he joined the wolf on prodding the cube, his finger playfully pressing the circles around the thing. "This is harder than I thought, if that's the case. But if it was common, then I could find a way to maybe–"

*beeeep*

The two stopped whatever they're doing when that faint beep echoed around them. The duo looked at each other before slowly turning to the cube. The stone-like cube now had a part of it glowing a faint green, coming from the circular marking that Tony had 'pressed'. Silence permeated the room as they scooted ever so closer, their dinner abandoned.

"Did I just…?" Tony mumbled in shock, slowly taking his hand off the cube. The light never went away, and that makes things more surreal. "This is insane…for an artifact to still be functional like this…" He decided to try and press another nearby circle expecting that to light up, but the entire thing went off instead.

"Oh." was the only thing Finn said, a bit disappointed. But his interest went back when Tony pressed the same indent the first time, and the cube partially lit up again. "Ooooh! That's cool! So it's like a lamp!"

"I sure hope not. That seems like a much harder thing to research than a toy." Tony admitted, already scared to try and comb every book to find info about a mere decoration. But that feeling was drowned out by the fact he got a working artifact. That's close to impossible!

Giddy, he decided to press the next indent and it turned off again, starting trying a few buttons before he turned it on with the initial one. "I wonder if there's a pattern in this."

Tony saw his roommate wanting to join in, his fists clenched and bushy tail wagging behind him, making his arm muscles dance. He just sighed as he invited the wolf over. "Come on, you can help me, Finn."

Finn let out a loud 'woop!' before joining in on the prodding, and he was an immense help as he carried and turned the cube around for Tony to prod. They did the usual trial-and-error process, having to turn the first one many times before Finn managed to get the second one. "There we go! Got that, Tony?"

"Yeah! Thanks, Finn!" Tony immediately took note of it and decided to check for the next one. "It seems to be just random circles, I guess." He pressed a random one and it turned off again, his stubby tail joining along Finn's. "Maybe if we turn this on first, we can figure out what it can do. That'll save some time researching this."

"Good idea as any. Lead the way, little nerd!" The wolf was just as enthused as the kobold at this point, excited about this discovery. Is this how he feels every time he's on those ramblings? It's fun! Even if his contribution is just more physical work.

And so the two continued their little trial, creating an ordered list of the circles, even labeling them using the sticker paper the kobold still has. For every correct circle, they noticed the glow of the cube growing slightly brighter, and it just urged them to continue.

As this was going on, Tony was already trying to figure out what this really is. Something that needed this many buttons, and in a certain order, means that it could be something more complicated than a simple lamp like Finn suggested. Maybe it has a special function? Some sort of secret that involves this green light? This would certainly be quite a discovery, if so. He can't help but wag his stubby tail as they were now so close.

And after a few hours of trial and error, the final button was now in front of him, left unlit unlike its brethren. Finn chuckled, setting the cube back on the beanbag before bowing down like a butler guiding a guest to its destination.

"After you, Tony."

Tony was shaking in nervousness, excitement, and pure giddy. He took a bite from a pizza slice before slowly reaching out to press the indent. In a few seconds, the cube had fully turned on, washing the room with its dim green glow, an intensity similar to a night light. Still the two were in awe, staring at the cube whose indentations look like lit up leylines, coursing with whatever energy it has. Finn and Tony waited for something to happen, their tails swishing with anticipation for every second.

And so they waited.

And waited.

And waited.

And wa–

"It's just a lamp, is it?"

"Yeah…"

The two practically deflated, laying down on the floor as all their time and effort note taking and turning the cube around were wasted on…an elaborate nightlight. The kobold merely growled, staring at the offending cube with a bit of disdain, and Finn can't really blame him. Even he thought this cube was gonna be something special. Still, he can't let the kobold be angry like this for the rest of the night.

"Hey, you okay?" Finn sat up and stretched his arms to the side, his warm smile somehow became even warmer. "Come on, dude. How about a little hug to calm down?"

Tony looked at him and shook his head. "Thanks for the offer, but…I'm not in the mood for something like that after all that."

Finn had a questioning stare until he realized what his offer sounds like. "Haha, nah man I meant a…y'know? Actual hug? Not a–"

"Oh…oh! Oh, you mean–!"

That made the kobold blush, the wolf simply laughing as he went and wrapped his beefy arms around the tiny kobold, the size difference between them made incredibly obvious when they’re like this. Tony simply enjoyed the warmth, ignoring the soft bulge poking his side as he enjoyed the warmth and brawn wrapped around him for a while.

The two eventually separated, Tony coughing a bit before standing as tall as possible, once again looking at the cube still glowing a dull green. Despite the anticlimactic finish, he went back to thinking.

"Honestly, it being a lamp at the very least narrows down my search. I don’t think I have to scour the older civilizations at least." He looked over the books he had brought and sighed. "Though I hope the library or even the professor had some journals about lamps."

"That's as good a plan as any." Finn had an inkling it's gonna be a problem, but he reckoned he can spend his free time helping the nerd. He's not gonna say that now, though. Schedules can change and all that, and he rather not promise things he can't fulfill, especially with a game coming.

The beefy wolf looked over the cube and scratched his head. "So, we turning this off, yeah?" The wolf leaned forward to prod one of the circles again, but no matter how hard he tried or what circle he pressed, he couldn't turn it off. "Uh…Tony?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Tony moved in close to the lamp again, watching the wolf desperately pressing the circles again. "Wait…are you trying to turn it off?"

"Yeah, but it's not working. I guess since all the lights are on?" Finn's panic eased out when even the kobold didn't react much, though all that panic turned into tiredness as he yawned massively, the kobold beside him infected with his own smaller yawn.

Tony looked at his phone and cringed. "Eh, I'll figure it out later. It's almost 1 am." He can't believe it took them this long to solve the cube puzzle, and it took him a few breaths and a glass of water to drown that disappointment. Still, the mystery of what it is still in the air, things could become interesting again.

"Oh, right. You're still gonna jog early, right?"

"Yup! Gonna keep this body looking good!" Finn flexed his arms a bit lazily, the drowsiness taking over even his energetic self as he leaned against his bed and yawned once more. He was really feeling the effects of the practice earlier. "So, we gonna sleep with this thing on?"

Tony looked back to the cube and sighed. "I think the light is fine, actually. I hate to say it, but it really does function like a night light."

"What a complicated night light then." He grunted as he stood up, towering over the kobold. "And heavy! Why in hell do they make their lights so dense?"

"Well, that's one more mystery to solve."

The two eventually went ahead to do their nightly rituals, ignoring the green light that, after turning off the light, really did fit the night light moniker. Tony was buttoning down his pajama shirt when he saw the wolf lay down almost naked, only wearing his tight boxers. Finn mumbled a soft ’good night' before straight up snoring.

"Makes sense. He's been working hard on football." Tony admired the wolf's physique, the result of all that hard work, before settling down on his bed. But not before taking one last glance at the cube, sighing as he scratched his head in frustration. His professor doesn’t have it in him to prank him, but he wondered if the archeologists knew just what this really is.

He simply sighed, crawling to his bed and hugging the spare pillow he got, mumbling a bit. "I'm gonna solve the mystery…I will…"

With that, he surrendered to his tiredness, softly snoring alongside the wolf as both of them were now deep in sleep.

***

The two continued to sleep soundly through the night, both of them sprawled on top of their beds messily. They were too deep into sleep that they didn’t notice the cube making sounds, slowly working on its true function. Its green glow shone just slightly brighter, bathing the two with its light, before emitting another beep.

The cube had recognized them as the ones who had awoken it and was now studying them intensely; from their forms, their thoughts, to even their hidden wishes. As a reward for awakening it, the cube will grant them their desires: a significant boost to their physical forms, all while changing reality around them. For that is its true nature, and even after a million millennia had passed, a directive is still a directive.

And it all starts…now.

***

Finn had maintained his habit to wake up at 7 in the morning to jog even until now. Cardio is important for an athlete like him, even more so when he's quite a huge hulk of a wolf. The way his muscles moved as he stretched out his arms, his back against his groaning mattress, it was a nice reminder that he's a massive beast.

Finn chuckled, admiring his muscles that felt so pumped early in the morning. He sat down on the side of his bed, making sure not to wake the sleeping kobold. He had to admit, he was surprised he woke up so refreshed and ready to roll, especially with what happened yesterday, but he's not gonna complain when he has a whole day ahead of him. Not even that cube is able to bring him down!

Speaking of, he spotted the ancient night light by the side, still emitting that dull light even at the break of dawn. Lots of questions swirled in his mind about the artifact, but he's just glad the light wasn't as disturbing. Finn yawned so big, stretching his arms to the side, feeling his muscles stretch taut before finishing it off with a double biceps pose. He smirked when his nearly 28 inch arms grazed his clenched paws, the vein running across it pulsating.

"Hehe, still got it." Even at the earliest, he was keen on showing off his pride and joy. Finn simply chuckled as he slowly, gently got up on his bed, the frame creaking as it was relieved of the great wolf's weight. He had to be careful since he could easily make loud thuds with his footfalls, disadvantages of being a big, heavy guy, but the mass was worth it.

But just to check, he took a gander to his nerd friend and sighed in relief when the kobold was still fast asleep. He seems much more relaxed than he was last night, And as always, he looks cute while sleeping, sprawled on his bed with his blanket thrown to the side.

"Heh, what a cute little nerd." Finn felt his bulge throb a bit; he can't deny that Tony looked too cute not to wake him up and get some relief, but he knew the kobold had things to do. He sighed. Maybe next time…

With that settled, he grabbed his clothes and squeezed himself on the small bathroom, taking a shower and stroking his own cock to edge himself off while worshiping his own muscles and tugging his 9 inch morning wood. He simply couldn't help it, the feeling of his thick rod against his palm was so satisfying, but he made sure to at least be on time for his jog. After putting on his tight tank top and comfy sweatpants, he did a few poses, grinning at his reflection as he flexed his thick muscles before quietly hyping himself.

"Alright, time for the jog!"

He quietly got out of the dorm, greeting the few early freshmen that were staring at his incredibly bulky frame before jogging off, his pecs bouncing even against his tight tank top. He pretty much just laughed it out, enjoying the feeling of his bulk as he flexed an arm.

Despite weighing nearly 330 pounds, giving his tall 6 foot 4 frame quite a lot of width and thickness, he was still keeping up with all the running needed in the sport. It certainly made him a terrifying sight once he started charging on the field, his poor opponents expecting him to run out of steam.

Of course, he made sure everyone was fine afterwards. Not fun if they actually got hurt.

"Whoo! Man, I feel huge for some reason…" Finn smirked, feeling his pecs bouncing a lot heavier than before, his arms looking quite thick and pumped as he kept doing poses, each one emphasizing his biceps and triceps that bulge under his fur. He knew he was the heaviest and the bulkiest among the team, but today he felt somehow bigger! It just makes wanting to be even bigger a worthy challenge.

"Well, let's keep this going!" He smirked, keeping pace as he ran around the campus, letting the sun rise and watch people walking to their classes, even giving them a show before continuing on.

He was on his fifth lap when he saw Luke and some of the guys in the team training by the basketball court. The meerkat loomed over the other guys doing push-ups with a whistle on his mouth, all four of them struggling to keep up the fast pace the meerkat probably set up for them. The wolf actually felt bad, the meerkat may seem charming and unassuming, but he's a harsh trainer and team captain when it counts.

"Well, time to give them a break." Finn made a beeline for them, his loud thuds enough to break their concentrations as he let out a slightly soft call. "Hey there! Ain't you guys early for practice?"

"Hey there, you tank." The meerkat immediately would have pounced on him, his tail wagging, but he has captain duties to fulfill as he pointed to the group of students now resting. "These guys asked me yesterday for some extra stamina training right after they saw you tear up the field yesterday, so here we are."

"Aww, you guys are making me blush!" Finn's tail was wagging nonstop at the thought of becoming an inspiration for these guys. The guys stood up from their position, lined up and looked at him with awe and also with hidden lust. These were some of the newbies they recruited, and it was clear they had a lot of training to do, and he was glad to help them. "Can I join you guys, then? I'll probably do some strength training alongside you guys. Already got cardio done, anyway."

"Not a bad idea! At least you can keep 'inspiring' these guys." Luke grinned almost sadistically, pointing at the guys who were eyeing the buff wolf and eating up the sight of his huge muscles and that…full package.

The meerkat merely chuckled, ignoring the other's plight as he stuck out his thumb and pointed at the warehouse just nearby the court. "Bring us some cones and ropes we can use from there, and I'll set them up. For you, just bring whatever you want for your own training."

"Got it, cap! I'll be back." Finn saluted, waving to the others as he jogged to the warehouse. Opening the door, he was greeted with a bunch of exercise equipment. He was about to grab the cones and rope by the side when his eyes locked in on a heavy wheel, leaning on the wall.

"Huh, someone actually used this, huh?" He lumbered to it, patting the massive wheel that weighed around 900 pounds, three times his weight. Still, that gave him an idea. "Looks like I have something to use, then."

Now normally, with these wheels being so heavy and dense, people would just roll them around to where they're needed. Finn however decided to test his strength. He squatted down in front of the tire, holding it in its sides before grunting, slowly lifting it off the ground.

He felt his thick muscles groan and bulge as he slowly lifted it overhead, the wolf grinning as he adjusted the tire in his grasp, his upper torso flexed, veins bulging against his fur as he felt the full weight of the tire. He took slow, steady steps going outside the warehouse, his grunts distracting the others and especially Luke.

"Oi Finn! What's with all that grunti–oh?"

Luke and the others were frozen as they witnessed the pure herculean strength of the wolf in action, the sight of the 310 pound hulking wolf carrying a wheel that's thrice his weight caused quite a reaction to them all, especially to the new guys.

The wolf heaved, grunting wildly as he gently dropped the tire before shouting out loud, his pumped arms flexed for everyone to see.

"Whoo! Now that's what you call power, baby!" He admired the way his 28 inch biceps actually looked bigger than before, the veins across his peaks pulsating even faster as it pumps blood to his limbs. He was so into his posing that he didn't notice Luke looking over the other players and their throbbing bulges with a devious grin.

"I'll give you guys ten minutes, now move!"

The others blushed before saying their thanks, rushing to the nearest bathroom to relieve themselves, especially after that incredibly hot sight.

Just in time, as Finn was done showboating watching the newbies run so fast you'd think Luke had already started their practice. But they seem more hurried than expected.

"Hey, they good? They look like they saw a ghost."

"Oh, they saw something alright." Luke mused, crossing his arms. "But you should worry more about what will happen to you if you don't give me those cones already, Finn."

The wolf just laughed, his chest swelling still from that lift before polishing his pumped up arm to his team captain. "No need for that, cap! You'll get those cones in a bit!"

***

With his schedule so barren now that he's graduating, it was rare for Tony to wake up before noon hits. While he did miss the sight of the sunrise while having some toast and a fresh cup of coffee, he was more of a night owl than a morning person. He never understood how the wolf was so energetic in the morning when he could barely think by that time.

"And of course, Finn didn't clean up." The kobold was looking at the mess of a bed, blanket already on the floor and the pillows just…everywhere. The wolf joked about him moving while sleeping, but he really isn't any better. At least he cleaned up after a nice sleep, and here he is, fixing the wolf's bed as the cube continued to glow green.

"What time is it? 11:10? Not that late." At least there was still time to get himself some lunch before he went back to the library. Speaking of, he should probably grab all the books he doesn't need and return them as well. Though with the state of this room…

"Maybe I should do some cleaning as well…" He looked at the room. Not as messy, but the pizza boxes from last night were still scattered around alongside his old notes. It was time for some cleaning anyway, so rather do it now than later.

Tony nodded to himself, a plan already decided. He grabbed some leftover pizza from the fridge to tide him over as he cleaned up the mess. Thankfully, he was done quickly, but he was in a cleaning mood now, so he decided to sort out the dirty laundry. It was Finn's turn to do laundry, but it wasn't a bad idea to help him, even if he had to sort his dirty clothes and his…stretched out boxers.

"He has a lot of sleeveless shirts, huh." It makes sense for a guy who wants to show off his muscles, but this was far more than what he thought he had. A few stringer tank tops and even crop tops appeared and he actually got curious in wanting to wear one. It'll probably look bad on him, really. He wasn’t a skinny kobold, to be fair, but it takes a lot of confidence he doesn't have to pull it off.

As he was sorting out the boxers, he reckoned he wasn't being a proper gay by sniffing them all out and…probably cum, he really didn't know. Sadly, he was a nard gay, and the library and his little project was waiting for him. Besides, rooming with Finn made him used to his smell, anyway.

After half an hour, he was pretty much done with everything. All he needs to do is take a shower. Tony sighed as he took off his clothes, taking a gander at his reflection in the mirror. He was glad that he wasn't as lanky despite having a less active lifestyle. He's not buff, but at least he had some meat in his frame.

"Hmm? Should I…" He blushed a bit as he tried doing one of those flexes Finn keeps doing, raising his arms and flexing. He saw his little muscles on his arm puff up, not even a fraction of the size that what his roommate has, but it was there. The image of him being a buff kobold had been in his mind, but to be honest, he rather just be a small little guy, especially against Finn…

"Oh god, not right now." He slapped himself silly, trying to get rid of those thoughts as he focused on his shower instead. He looked around for his scale oil and found them on the top shelf after minutes of searching. "How did it get there?" He didn't have time to guess, mostly because he reckoned it was Finn, but it was fine, really.

He wasn't really a short guy, especially for kobold standards; 4 feet tall was already above average for him, and that was enough for him to just tiptoe a bit, pushing the bottle till they fell over the edge, catching it in the air with a bit of panic.

"There we go. Glad Finn didn't push them further out the edge." He did have a stool with him that he brought along when he came here, but thankfully the shelves here aren't that much high. If it was any higher, or if he was a bit shorter, then the stool would have seen much more use. Never hurts to be prepared, though.

After all that, he went along with showering, lathering himself properly while his scaled hands explored his decent build. Weird, he thought, he felt a bit…meatier than he would have thought, even after he was flexing in front of the mirror. He looked down and saw an outline of chest appearing, his arms, belly, and legs were defined. The kobold looked decent, really. He figured that being called a small nerd by many folks made him believe that. Especially when one of them is a hulking, towering wolf.

"I'll probably have a hard time if I compare myself to Finn." He chuckled, his average sized cock awakening, but he ignored that as he applied some scale oil on him, mumbling about his plan.

"I hope the dumpling place is still open. If not, I could go for a sandwich." The pizza simply wasn't enough, especially since he planned to coop inside the room and focus on the project. Speaking…

"Okay, plan is…try and get as many books about that era, cross-references, and maybe some other archaeology books as well." He continued to mumble, the cold water keeping him alert as he was about to finish. "If nothing works, then maybe I could ask Professor Kris about some more hints, but I'll save that as a last resort."

He exited the shower and wrapped himself with the towel, quickly grabbing a set of clothes to change into. His clothes had always been a bit loose, but tugging them made it feel like it wasn't as loose as it should be somehow. Maybe they shrink on the drier?

"I'll think about that later, but first! I gotta take note…and a picture" He grabbed his notes and jot down what he needed. Lunch and snacks. Books. Visit the prof. He took a few pictures of the cube with his phone so he could reference that when he's at the library, punching himself for not doing this last night when Finn was still here to turn it around.

"All right, that should be it!" He grabbed his bag, made sure all the notes were there and grabbed a few more stuff, before staring at the cube, still glowing green. The kobold hummed, looking around it before pressing another indention, trying to turn it off.

It didn't. No matter what he pressed, the cube was still glowing that weird green glow.

"Hah, worth a try. Maybe I can find a way to turn you off." Tony patted the cube like he would a pet, before walking out of the room with a plan in mind. It's time to figure out the secrets of this cube!

***

It had been a couple of days since Tony had gotten 'the cube lamp', as it's now been named by Finn, and things went along despite the new fixture. The two hung out as much as they could, but with the cube taking most of the kobold's attention and football practices and classes took the wolf's, it was a busy week for them. Both were just glad that the other helped even a little bit, and sharing dinner was a quiet but a needed break from everything.

As this was going though, the cube had continued its reality warping powers on the two, shaping them and how the world views them. The once 3 foot 4 kobold was now growing taller and even gaining a bit of muscle, while the once 260 pound wolf was growing heavier with mass and muscle, making him a walking slab of wolf meat with a longer cock and heftier balls. None of them noticed anything wrong with them, and even the people around them were truly unaware. But soon, the changes will be too much, and they'll eventually notice that something is wrong.

Not today, though. Today was an exciting day for them.

***

It all began during an afternoon where both had long free hours. Finn didn't have any practice since the field was used for a little dance practice for a class, and like before Tony was busy studying the cube, only leaving to attend his only class an hour ago.

He was focused on reading a journal about decorations and fixtures around the old eras when he heard a loud ripping noise just behind him.

"Wha-what was that?" Tony turned around to see a sight that made him redder than he could possibly be: his hulking roommate flexing, his massive door breaking back to him as strips of cloth were hanging against his frame, more on the floor. The massive Finn merely shook his arms that were stretched to the side, his back muscles moving like mountains before raising those trunk like arms, biceps so massive that Tony was surprised he could ever raise them.

And despite how hot the scene in front of him was, Tony had one question in mind.

"But why?"

Finn merely laughed, breaking away from his pose as he waddled around, showing the kobold his heaving pecs, protruding so far that he could set entire bottles on top of them. Tony was glad he's used to the wolf's sheer mass that he could ask about stuff than this and not slobber over his body like the first time they met.

He still wants to of course, but at least he has more control over it.

Tony looked down and immediately recognized the strips from its color and material. "And is that your varsity jacket?"

"Yup!" Finn took his time taking the scraps of the poor thing off of his body, not even bending backwards to pick the ones on the ground; he'll let the kobold do that. His entire body heaves so heavily yet he carries it all so casually, a normal task for a 380 pound or so wolf like him. "The others were talking about how small the varsity jackets are and I remembered mine. The college didn't have my size back then and got it custom made. Tight, but it fits. And as you can see…" Finn spread his arms wide, his pecs still a thick shelf riddled with veins despite the casual pose as he showcased his mass to the kobold. "Heh, can't believe I grew this much."

"To be fair, you were already huge even back then." Tony remembered seeing the massive bodybuilder-like wolf standing outside his supposed room, then introducing himself as his roommate. He wasn't a small kobold, to be fair, but when a guy that's more than twice your weight and a foot taller than you stepped in your vision, there was no way Tony wouldn't go feral.

"And you grew so much too, from 300 to 380 pounds in two years…"

He's basically stroking the wolf's ego right now, and he could tell it's working with how much his bulge protruded. Even soft, that thing was just massive as fuck, and he kept wondering where Finn got boxers that could contain that monster.

The wolf was still giddy from ruining his jacket, doing a few poses before having his paws by his waist. His chest swelling with pride, his entire musculature heaving. "Hell, yeah! Didn't think I'd pass 380 before the semester starts, but now I'm going for even bigger! Gonna be 400 before I even graduate, maybe even more! Think that's possible?"

"Well, you're definitely getting there, that's for sure." Tony stood up from his seat, stretching his legs for a bit after hours of researching. He didn't mind the chuckles coming from the wolf who's now focused on showing off his immense bulk in front of the comparatively narrow mirror. Too bad he had no way to stare at his bulge again, not like he wasn't seeing it almost every day with their…rather sexual activities.

Heh, friends with benefits indeed.

He let the wolf flex about as he grabbed a few snacks in the fridge. The entire thing is filled due to the wolf's constant need for calories, but he was assured he could grab one if he wanted. He decided to grab one of the steamed chicken ones, and was about to munch on it when he watched the wolf lumber towards the shelves, trying to reach something from the top shelves. Despite him being 6 foot 4, his frame was so pumped from all his flexing that he was unable to reach up as much, massive muscles bunching up by his head that he couldn't fully stretch his arms upward.

"What are you reaching for?"

"That protein jug over there." Finn pointed at the jug just beyond his reach, his near 40 inch arms unable to complete the motion due to it being so densely pumped. "Lend me a hand here, big guy."

"O-only if you stop calling me that." The kobold is a bit flustered every time Finn calls him 'big guy'. Maybe it's because Finn was far larger than him, or maybe because, as a kobold, he's surprisingly quite tall and buff. Standing at 5 foot 6, he towered over his family members and is just a foot or so shorter than the wolf. Not to mention his buff body despite his nerdy disposition. He wants to say it's due to his genes, but even his brawny uncles aren't as buff or as strong as him.

He just shook his head as he stood beside the wolf, their size difference still prominent; a 5 foot 6 brawny kobold and a 6 foot 4 incredibly buff wolf. Tony reached out and took his time, thanking his height as he reached out for the jug. He heard the wolf chuckle as he grabbed the jug from him, a handsome smile on that canine.

"Thanks, little nerd!" Finn set the jug on the counter before giving the kobold a tight hug. Suddenly, Tony was surrounded with bulging muscle on all fronts. The wolf simply laughed, his massive chest rumbling from his deep voice. "Because you've been a big help, how about I help you with that project of yours this weekend?" Finn said, still flexing his arms to make those massive muscles of his crash against the kobold's reddening face.

"N-not like you were already helping me anyway…but thanks, really." Tony tried to charm his way out of this but Finn was insistent in showing just how strong he was, just like all those times he caught him training with the other players, lifting half a ton of weight so easily. He saw Finn's free paw go down, and already he knew that the wolf wanted something else.

"And maybe…you could help me with my big problem downstairs, eh?

Tony blushed, and yet he's certainly not keen on brushing the invitation off. "Mmph…only if you let me go."

"Sure."

Letting him go was easy, all Finn had to do was raise his arms up, but of course the kobold didn't immediately go down, rushing to slam his face against the muscular cavern of his pits. The wolf just laughed, trapping the kobold between his arm and his torso, feeling those tiny hands worship what he could grab of his mighty brawn while sniffing and licking his armpit. If there's one thing Tony learned here beside all the history stuff, is how to really pleasure him.

"Don't take too long now. You got another thing to worship." He raised his rim and the kobold finally stepped back, his face flushed and his pants straining against his hard member. He just looks so dang cute being like this, especially as the kobold went in front of him and started worshiping his pecs, rubbing his nipples before going down…and down…and…

"Fuck, I'm all pent up now."

Tony could see it. He was kneeling in front of a bulge that exceeded the size of any pornstar he saw online. The thick sausage barely fit against the wolf's tight boxers, throbbing so hard while leaking pre like a faucet, falling from his apple-sized cockhead down on the ground. The heavy balls almost the size of his head were heaving and gurgling so loud. He didn't even try removing that straining underway, just tearing it down, and suddenly he's faced with a leaking foot long and thick wolf cock.

"Heh, fuck…that's another boxer down."

Tony didn't have to look up to see that the wolf was flexing, just the grunts and those creaking sounds from his hulking body was enough to let his imagination wild. Each movement he did made his massive cock swing, unable to fully stand up due to its heavy weight. His hefty balls were dangling close to his knees with how full they were. The wolf was just so massive all over.

Tony pulled out his own cock, the comparatively small 7 inches was throbbing crazily as he wrapped one hand around the wolf's godcock, unable to fully grasp even half of it as he stroked it slowly and sensually, causing the wolf to hold on to the counter.

"Fuck yeah, nerd. Keep going." Finn was in pure bliss, pumping his muscles up as he flexed them even more. A fucking monster he was, always worshiped in the showers every practice, letting the others have a taste of his masculinity. But there's nothing quite like the way the little nerd does it that made him squirm, feeling that small hand work around his cock was such a pleasure. But he was eager for a mouth around his monster length. "Dude, take it already."

Tony gulped down as he moved closer, that massive pec shelf casting a shadow on him as he started licking the massive cockhead, lapping down all that pre. One hand of his was stroking the lower half of that monster, while another hand was busy tugging at his own throbbing member. The sounds the wolf was making was music to his ears, especially as he opened wide to get that massive thing inside his mouth.

Slowly but surely, the kobold opened up his jaw to take all the wolf has to offer. By the time he got the widest part of the head, he could feel pre flooding his throat, but he continued on. Feeling the wolf writhe, seeing those muscles flex by the corner of his vision. It was enough to make him moan, already on the verge of cumming. Yet he knew that the wolf was barely starting.

"Come on, nerd. I know you can do more." Finn pressed his hand against the nerd's head, and the little nerd responded with a lust-filled groan. He knew Tony didn't need the extra push, all those practices had prepared him for this. The nerd slowly moved deeper and deeper, each throb sent the kobold moaning. His massive monster was filling up that cute mouth and throat, forced to swallow all that pre he was leaking.

"Fuck…your mouth just feels so good, nerd." Finn said, his muscles tensing so much. He felt like he had lifted his usual near ton max rep for hours, it was THAT good! The nerd was really going at it, feeling him around his monstrous shaft as Tony kept going…and going…

"All that practice paying off…told you can…fuck, do it." The wolf raised his arms as much as he could, pumping them up so hard that he could barely move. He was a beast, and the way the nerd was taking him makes him feel even more so by the way he's struggling. "God, yeah…keep goi–FUCK!"

Tony would have smirked if he could, but his mouth was too full for him to even do anything. The hand he used to stroke that monster was now fondling those heavy sacks, way heavier than an apple and gurgling, churning more of that delicious cum. He kept on going deeper, tears in his eyes as his jaw unhinged itself just to fit all that in. The leaking tip was sliding down even more, gushing out so much pre that the kobold could feel his belly getting full. He was getting closer to the last two inches of that foot long monster, his other hand still stroking his own member, close to cumming himself as he drew close to that monumental base…just a few more…

"Hmph!" "Fuck!"

The two men groaned in pleasure as the kobold had done all 12 inches of that monster inside him. Tony didn't rest, though, now bopping his head back and forth, giving the wolf the pleasure he was needy for the past few days. It was a miracle the countertops didn't crack as the wolf leaned on it, paws clenched against the tiles as he began thrusting his hips hard, his pecs bouncing along. Sounds of their pleasure echoed throughout the room, the cube's green glow illuminating their forms as the wolf panted.

"Fuck…I'm so fucking close! Hang on, nerd!" Finn growled like the beast he is, his entire musculature seemingly bulging bigger, veins pulsing so heavily that Finn felt like he was gonna explode in sheer ecstasy. He felt like he was filling up the room, and with his body so close to 400 pounds…he wanted to feel even bigger. Fuck, he could actually feel himself growing bigger…just a few more…so impossibly huge…

The wolf howled in sheer ecstasy, blasting his first load inside the kobold's mouth. Tony could feel that deluge of cum flood his throat, the sheer power and volume making him cum, his own load far pitiful than the wolf's. The wolf was hunched down, having to look over his pecs to see that wonderful sight of his nerdy friend taking all his cum, his own cock that's only half his monstrous size throbbing and shooting blanks, his stomach bulging from all that seed.

"Fuck…you look so cute there, nerd." The wolf stared at such a sight for a few minutes, feeling load after load blasting, before he gently pulled out his cock, pushing the kobold's head till his cock was fully free. The sound of the kobold groaning made him spurt a few loads of cum, painting the red kobold white with his seed, and it just made him laugh. "Hah, sorry there dude. You okay?"

The kobold just stared, accepting the blasts of cum as he tried to catch his breath, already missing the way that throbbing monster filled him so much. He tugged his now limp cock a bit, trying to get himself off, but simply sighed as he tried to stand up. He didn’t notice his belly bulging from all that cum, making it hard, but thankfully he's helped by the wolf's sturdy trunk of an arm.

"Yeah…I can't believe I actually took all that." Tony groaned, petting his belly full of cum as he watched the wolf's monster cock gush out the remaining cum. Finn was really a beast when pent up like this.

The two roommates-slash-friends with benefits just sighed in great relief, the wolf still cumming but not as much as before. Tony let out an exaggerated sigh as he continued watching all that cum make a mess on the floor, all while leaning against the wall of muscle that is Finn and petting his full belly. "I'm gonna have to clean this up…again."

"Hey, don't sweat it! Like I said, I'm gonna help you this weekend." Finn hugged the kobold with his massive arm, smirking at how much his arm made him look so small, especially once he started flexing it, bicep crashing against that cute face. "Two heads are better than one, yeah?"

"Keep flexing and there's only gonna be one head in this room."

Finn laughed, crushing the kobold against his tight hug, his monstrous cock letting out a last, but certainly not a weak, load of cum. That monstrous shaft had now turned into a limp 10 inch cock. Somehow, he was surprised that the kobold squirming against his hold could even take it, but it's not like he's like 'puny' small. He even has some brawn on him, feeling those arms pushing against him.

He finally let go, and the kobold had to catch his breath again with a smile on his face, hand kneading that massive pec. "But yeah, thanks for the offer, Finn."

"Anytime, nerd!" Finn looked amusedly at the paw, and then at the kobold soaked in his seed. "So, wanna try and shower together? You know it's hard for me to reach my back."

"Sure! But!" Tony held out a finger to the eager, hulking wolf. "No second round, please. I have to clean up the mess and continue the research."

"Argh, fiiine." Finn had to resign to the kobold's rules, but he knew that if they had a second round, then a third or even a fourth would definitely follow. He watched the comparatively small kobold wash his face first of cum before going outside, grabbing the mop and other cleaning tools. Meanwhile, the wolf waddled back to the mirror, looking at his bulk once more and flexing. He felt somehow bigger than earlier, and he smirked as he flexed his arm with a proud grin.

"Aw, hell yeah!"

As the two cleaned up the room, chatting amongst themselves and talking about their days, the green glow of the cube continued to light them up, making them evolve further…

***

Having a massive body can be a bit hard when you're a football player. The amount of times one must run through the field, tackling and maneuvering around other players makes stamina and mobility vital besides just power and speed, something that a massive body usually lacks. What use does a player have with all that power if you can't handle running for an hour at best? Not to mention the lack of mobility one has with all that mass.

This was the reason why Finn was considered a beast, a monster, an entire battering tank that would storm the field at such insane speeds. At a whopping 450 pounds of pure bulk, he was still able to keep up with the demands of his position, charging like a freight train and becoming an impenetrable wall on demand, even without any football pads; none had fit him ever since he hit 400 pounds a year ago, and he rather not waste college funds just for him to outgrow it again.

Besides, there was simply no need for shoulder pads when his own bulk was enough protection from anyone foolish to think they could stop him. He was more of a bull than a wolf. Hell, a moving wall seems like an apt term, especially when his width is close to his towering height of 6 foot 5, a looming presence inside the field.

And yet outside the field, he was still the lovable, energetic wolf the players had known him for. Every time practice is over, he saunters towards the others with a friendly smile. His face might be surrounded by his bulk, but his high-fives and gentle yet enveloping hugs despite the massive size difference was enough evidence of it all; he's just a massive gray-furred wall of muscle and sunshine.

And that hasn't changed until now, even as the shirtless, helmet-wearing wolf continued to waddle around the field. He started stretching his arms and casually showing off his density to the others, his frame looked absolutely herculean with power. His arms were easily surpassing 40 inches relaxed, and every flex caused it to almost double in size, filling up the space between his forearms and delts. His pecs were so thick that each step of his caused it to bounce heavily, protruding so far and wide that it casted a shadow on his thick waist and 12-pack abs.

Finn smiled as he sauntered around and kept hugging everyone as gently as he could. His chin was perpetually grinding against the top of his pecs, delts and traps surrounding his handsome head as his back pushed his limbs to the side. His legs were a collection of knotted muscle fibers that flexed for his every step, quads blooming outward so much that one could set a few drinks on top of them.

Despite the sheer mass in display, the wolf was barely tired and was raring to keep going unlike the other players. He just smiled brightly under his helmet, once cheering up everyone after a good practice.

"Nice work everyone!" He leaned his heavy arms against the taller guys, their heights meant nothing when a wolf shorter than a couple of inches is double their weight. Even with the shoulder pads on, the big guys flinched at the contract, the heavy weight of those arms making their knees buckle. "Especially you two! Both of you are doing great keeping up."

"T-thanks…sir." One said. Finn recognized the tall, built lion as one of the prouder jocks that joined in immediately in the football team a year ago. He was a bit of an arrogant douche and a bully, deeming himself THE big guy to his peers with his 6'8 frame and 250 pounds, and it wasn't until Finn walked in with his 380 pound cold bulk did the lion clammed up, intimidated by the wall of sunshine. Always nice to shut down potential bullies, and now the guy had been nice to his peers, his body now quite bulky at almost 270.

"Chin up, Prince! Your stamina training paid off a lot! You should be proud of that."

Finn gently patted the lion's back, Prince merely nodding with a faint, defeated blush. Despite his initial thoughts of him, the wolf is genuinely proud with how the lion was improving, and he reckoned he'll be the de facto big guy once he graduates soon. Hopefully he won't return to his bully ways, though.

Turning around, however, was a hyena that was intensely blushing, eyes on those meaty delts of his. "And you, keep on practicing, okay? You almost got cornered by that two-way…"

"Y-yes, sir Finn."

The wolf can't help but grimace when called something so formally, and sadly this gentle yet intimidating teammate of his was exactly that. Bruce wasn't exactly a gentle looking guy either; a hulking hyena that stood three inches taller than him and just a few pounds heavier than the lion, his frown belied a gentle soul that would make even a certain giant nerd seem meek. That doesn’t mean he's not good at tackling opponents, but that hesitation is still clear.

He patted the two sophomores gently, making sure the two get some Finn-styled public-approved TLC with all his tight hugs. It didn't really matter if they were tall, he's the guy hauling 450 pounds of muscle so he decided who, when, and how long those hugs are.

Fortunately, it wasn't long as the team had a quick meeting again with the coach, just telling them of a little weekend break since the field will be used, and an invitation to a street dance contest happening here soon which means another break. Finn nodded, distracted by the way the players lined up in front of him. Them big guys had formed a line behind the smaller ones, and he can't help but grin how wide he is; he was wide enough that he was able to eclipse two or even three of the athletic guys with their shoulder pads on by his own width. Not to mention how far back he was, else his pecs will be smothering some bodies. It made him feel happy that his hard work paid off.

"That's all, everyone. Get a good break!" The team dispersed, ready to wash away their sweat and tiredness. The wolf went ahead and greeted the others, but a certain meerkat decided to lean against his wall of back muscles, arms in between his rising traps and wide shoulders.

"What are you doing back there, cap?"

"Just admiring these muscles…hard at work for carrying the entire team."

The wolf laughed out loud at that statement. He prided himself to being the biggest reason the team is doing well, figuratively and literally, but he wouldn't go that far! It's still a team game at the end of the day. "Please. If I call the shots, my heavy ass would just weigh everyone down."

"You're underestimating how many of us want that ass on top of us." Luke spun around before leaning against that trunk of an arm. Finn had to grin at the sight of his team captain looking mighty slim against his hulkish arm, and that's despite the meerkat's athletic build. Said meerkat merely smirked, easily reading Finn's thoughts, his tail wagging behind him. "Keep thinking about that and you'll ruin another cup."

The laughter was louder this time, but Finn couldn't handle not to. He brought a massive paw against the tiny crotch guard, unable to contain his growing monster. A beast is a beast, as they say, and his 15 inch soft cock is considered a leviathan by many, especially once it gets fully hard to its full 19 inches, thicker than some people's waist. He couldn’t see it due to his pecs, but he can just hear the straps stretching really hard to contain it.

He can't help but just bask in his own monstrous size and chuckle. "Fine, fine. Rather not ruin the thing before I leave this place."

The two walked alongside each other, the meerkat taking it slow for the hulking wolf whose legs were too thick. It was a miracle he can even run with those pistons, but that miracle was what made him the tank that he was right now. Finn watched the other players looking at him and he gave them a sight to see: a massive arm flexed to its fullest, already close to reaching 75 inches, the peaks already surpassed his clenched fists.

The sounds of awe from his juniors stirred him up and he could see it with the way those eyes went downward. Luke merely sighed beside him, waving his arms away from the sight.

"Move along now or you guys will be dancing alongside the next class!"

That made them disperse quickly, causing the wolf to chuckle as he relaxed his arm down. "Hmph. Spoilsport."

"I thought you didn't want to ruin another crotch guard?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Finn smirked again, flexing his body to a certain way that made his head feel engulfed by his own size. Man, that would probably feel good. "Hah…man I can't wait to get bigger."

"You're already bigger than any other bodybuilder, you tank." Luke made a showing to try and wrap both his hands around the arm, failing to fully encircle the relaxed muscles. "Anymore and you'll be waddling around the field instead."

"Wouldn't that be a dream, though…?” The wolf was getting hard at the thought of being huge, his monster growing even larger and thicker till he was half hard at 19 inches. He didn't think he'll be able to reach this size, back when he was still 200 pou–

…wait, no. That's not…

"Hmm? Oi, you okay there, tank?" Luke could feel the beast stop, and saw that that handsome face was scrunched up, as if deep in thought. The meerkat merely leaned his elbow against the pec shelf, waiting for the wolf to gather his thoughts. "Penny for your thoughts, big guy?"

"Remind me again." Finn started. "How big was I when I first joined the team?"

The meerkat looked taken aback, blinking a few times before chuckling. "Please, you just want me to stroke your ego…" Still, he decided to play along, thinking with his hand on his chin. "You were already quite huge back then, if I recall. Around…350 pounds? 360? All I knew was that the coach was about to turn you down due to how heavy you are until you ran through the field like a speeding train."

"Hah! I remember that!" The memory was becoming clear to the wolf, how the coach was eyeing him with awe and uncertainty. Even with such a massive body, he looked too slow. But all those doubts crashed as the wolf charged like a train. However, the wolf's smile slowly died down as he crossed his arms. The memory was fun, sure…

…yet despite that, why does it feel…wrong, somehow? Like the numbers don't add up somehow. Or was he having a case of feeling too small despite hauling enough weight to outsize his team captain twice? Somehow, even that is wrong. Then what?

He felt a hand slap his massive muscle tits, a meerkat chuckling as the latter walked away. "Come on, big guy! We gotta go if you still wanna be cleaned up." the meerkat narrowed his eyes, lips curling to tease the wolf. "Unless you can now reach for your back?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming." He surrendered, leaving all that thinking for later. For all he knows, he was just itching to get back to weight training again and bulk up even more. Shaking his handsome head, feeling his neck flex under all that mass, he followed the meerkat, itching to have hands around him again. Man, he's gonna miss that so much once he’s out of here…

***

"Um…excuse me, sir?"

Tony flinched at that, already dreading the incoming interaction. He prided himself on not being as shy as some of his peers, but somehow this kind of situation made him feel very mixed.

That didn't stop him groaning as he looked down at the small labrador girl, his hand still on the book he was about to grab. The fellow student, at least he assumed from the lanyard, barely reached his chest which is a common occurrence for a tall kobold like him. Still he had the mindfulness to back up and crouch down a bit, easing their necks from the strain.

"Yes? Uh, what can I help you with?"

The dog blushed a bit, probably shy for asking someone, but the kobold understands as much. Being a mainstay in this library, a lot of people had asked him to grab stuff for them, enough that he became an honorary member of the committee here a few months ago. Despite the annoyances of his height, he did like helping people as much as he could. Plus, it was extra credit.

Tony made sure not to say anything, trying to make himself look small as much as he could despite his 7 foot tall hulking frame. It took a while for the student to break through her shyness, glancing at the paper on her paw a few times before pointing at the top shelf.

"Um…sorry for disturbing you, but I wanted to get a book from the top shelf." The girl pointed somewhere around the book the kobold was grabbing, and Tony already tried to look for that book. "It's called 'History Through the Waves'. It should be there, if I'm right."

"Hmm…I feel like I know that book. Hold on." Tony made quick work scanning the top shelf, quite easy considering he had work here before. That and top shelves were merely below his eye level, so it was easy to scoop around. Surely enough, the book was right there, just a few ways beside the one he was about to grab; the hard cover was green and thick, the weariness obvious from all the creases. He easily pulled out the book, feeling its heft, making his arms bulge against his sleeve. "There we go." He held out the book to the dog, careful in handling it. "Here it is. Just be careful since it's heavy."

The dog probably underestimated how heavy it was, especially with how easy it is for the kobold to lift it up, but once it was in her hand she immediately stumbled from the weight of it. The kobold reacted, kneeling down to catch her, but she held on to it, now with both arms. "Sorry! I'm fine. Didn't think it would be that heavy with how easy you make it."

"Eh, don't worry about it. I guess being big…has its perks in studying…?"

Tony blushed even more when the girl chuckled at him. Even now he's not used to being complimented for his size. He was extremely tall, especially for a kobold. He didn't think his species would reach beyond 6 feet tall, but he was proof enough that it's possible by some miracle. Especially since he's surpassed that now that he's just an inch over 7 feet tall.

"Thank you once again, sir." The dog bowed her head, the heavy tome being hugged as she walked slowly away, but not before leaving the kobold with a parting message. "Oh, and uh, good luck on the football match, sir!"

The kobold flinched at that, sighing dejectedly as he saw the dog round a corner. "There we go again, being mistaken as a football player." He merely mumbled, continuing his search for the books he needed.

It wasn't really hard to assume he was a football player. Aside from his tall height, he was quite buff and muscular. Last time he checked due to Finn's urging, he clocked around 420 pounds, already close to the wolf's weight, but not as wide due to how tall he was. He has strong arms measuring a good 30 or so inches and a decent pec shelf, with legs thicker than most athletes' waists.

So yeah, it wasn't hard to conclude he was a football player, even back when he was still a freshman due to his towering, hulking body. Not helping are his tight clothes; his insistence to be clothed even at his size just made him inadvertently show off his physique…and his endowment.

He sighed, the invitation of going to the gym with Finn ringing in his mind. "Hah, maybe I should…"

That was one of his growing thoughts; so many people saying that he'll be a great football player, even his hulking roommate. He does fit the bill to be an athlete, but he rather just study and become an archaeologist like he always dreamt of. The teasing was a bit hard to get used to, but now he's just a bit annoyed that people immediately assume he was a football player.

Was he too buff to be a basketball player? There has to be some buff ones, yeah?

"I should stop thinking about that, and just focus on the cube."

Right, the cube. It's almost been a week since he accepted the extra project and he's nowhere near close to finding any sort of information about it, other than it lighting up and its convoluted way of turning it on. He tried several books, yet nothing he didn't already know came up. It was starting to be a daunting task, but he wouldn't give up.

"Maybe I should visit the professor? He could have some new information about the dig site." Even that was useful to him now, but he shook his head at that idea. Rather have that as a last resort. Right now, he'll just have to exhaust all his options before giving up.

Besides, he's gonna have a little help by tomorrow, so it'll be great.

With that plan in mind, he immediately grabbed a few heavy books about anything related to decorations, piling them on the little cart by his knees and ignoring all the looks he got as he kept on pulling books one after the other. He even heard a few students reporting him, probably some freshmen, before they were assured by a familiar gecko that he's nothing to be scared of.

He'll have to thank Kyle later. Right now, he's focused on his research.

After all that, he sat down on the floor and quickly browsed all the books he had gathered. From journals to general history books, no page was left unread from the keen eyes of the kobold. From broad topics like culture and lifestyle, to specific topics like toys, crafting, and even…

"...why is there a book about the stairs?" He stared incredulously at the book of such a niche topic, even more so when he realized that it was a published journal instead. He read a few pages of it and confirmed its contents. "Yep, stairs." He immediately sorted that book alongside the other rejects to the side, nodding at the small pile of approved material. He patted the books, his clawed hand large enough to envelop one before preparing to stand. "Alright, I think that's enough of that. I should bring these books back to the shelf."

With a swift, rehearsed movement, he kneeled on one knee and stood up…and up…and up some more, stretching to his full 7 foot 1 height, unintentionally flexing his muscles against his tight clothes as he stretched around. He heard a few mumbles of awe thrown at him by the other people, and he immediately waved at them with a blushing face saying sorry. He really didn't think it was that surprising. He wasn't even ta–

…wait, that's not right.

The kobold stood still, his thick tail wagging sluggishly behind him as he tried to piece together that weird feeling. Looking down at himself, at his muscular, tall frame, and then suddenly a thought came to him.

"Am I…always this tall?" He wondered. Tony crossed his arms, unintentionally making a show of his muscles tensing against his tent-like shirt, the only thing that fit his frame. He tried to remember back when he first stepped foot here, piecing his memories together; he remembered balking at the wolf's width, looking down at him and his impossible bulk. Another memory made him remember how small the university's doors and tables are, especially for a kobold like him. He had to deflect a lot of questions about his athleticism that really doesn't exist

And then there was his little growth spurt throughout the years he's here. Sighing as his clothes felt too snug against his newly grown frame, watching the wolf experience the same thing with his bulging hyper muscles and monster cock. He remembered seeing that thing hard for the first time, and then being allowed to hold that thing, and then…

"Hmm?! Stop those thoughts, Tony." He broke through the trance, feeling his own member throb against his sweatpants. It was one thing to be aroused in the library, but it'll be even weirder if anyone would see his 9 inch hard cock through the obvious bulge it makes; his pants were tight as it is. He knew enough from Finn that even there he was quite massive, though not as massive as him.

"Hah, that was probably nothing." As quick as he dismissed them, he decided to at least keep note of them. That was a bit too weird of a feeling to ignore, it's just that right now, he had to focus on something else.

Speaking of, he should probably message the guy just to confirm he's fine for tomorrow. He knows enough of them from Finn's stories that a party is possible. He pulled out his phone and texted the wolf, expecting to get a reply later. But it seems he wasn't busy, since he got a reply immediately.

NerdBold: hey, are you still fine for tomorrow?

Mr.MachoWolf: yeap im even fine right now gonna head back on the dorms

NerdBold: oh, no parties this weekend?

Mr.MachoWolf: there is~ buuuut i rather help you big stud uwuwuwuwuwu

NerdBold: no, i'm not sucking your dick again

Mr.MachoWolf: worth a try LMAO see you soon

"I don't wanna deep clean the room again." Tony sighed, pocketing his phone and trying to get the memories of Finn near flooding the room with his loads out of his mind. He hauled the stack of unneeded books and placed them back to their respective section, before grabbing the ones he needed with his strong arms. It was quite a lot, he admitted. Hopefully Finn won't get intimidated. Besides, that hyper wolf has more than enough mass in his brawn to use anywa–

"No, stop that. At least wait until I get home." He shook his head as he walked towards the counter, not keen on showing something long around the people here.

***

The next morning came just as fast and Finn woke up feeling much heavier than ever he felt in his life. It wasn't a shock considering his weight, but for some reason he was even more burdened by his own weight than he was last night. Sitting up on his bed felt like a burdensome task, unable to fully figure his strength, like his body wasn't used to his weight.

"Man, I didn't even drink last night." He complained all while flexing, hearing the satisfying groans of his body as he stretched and flexed as much as he could, his morning log tilting to the side from all that weight. He felt not as limber for some reason, but that's usually the case…right?

His tail swished low when that thought came back to him, the weird feeling that he shouldn't be this huge that he had yesterday. He tried to recall how small he was when he started. He should be around…around 520 pounds, right?

"I'm probably just thinking too much." Besides, he's been this huge all this time, practically a lumbering wall of muscle especially once he hit 450 pounds a year ago. And now he's just 30 pounds from hitting the impossible 540 pounds, and that's not counting the absolute monster of a cock he's carrying, already close to 3 feet hard with balls the size of watermelons, both straining the boxers he had to wear else they'll just wildly flail every time he walked. Those measurements gotta be a record, somewhere, yeah?

A smile graced his lips as the hulking wolf heaved his weight off the bed, the frame groaning in pure relief as the quarter-ton wolf was finally gone. He turned his torso around to see if that woke up the giant kobold, and surprisingly it didn't.

"That's a relief." He sighed, flexing his right arm and feeling those peaks reach to its full 40 or so inches, slightly away from his grasp, barely scraping the peak with his paw. "Getting really hard to be gentle with all this mass." He joked as he slowly lumbered to his drawer to get some clo–

"Oh, right." He forgot he opted not to have one, especially since he got no clothes besides his oversized, custom-made boxers that he kept on the shelves instead. Nothing really fit him before, so why bother, right? It's not like the college was reprimanding him. "But why did I think I had any clothes?"

That feeling of something wrong was brought back again in full force, his tail swishing low as he instead prepared to go outside, have his little jog even when he's just wearing his boxers. Sure, he was leaking pre from his hard-on like a faucet, but he's always been doing so, yeah?

The feeling of something weird was probably nothing, and he resolved to make it disappear by flexing in the only mirror in the room, a massive one that was too much for him height-wise, but not enough for his width. Not even most of his torso was shown, having to sidestep and turn around to see the rest of his hulking torso, his thick trunk unable to be seen by the ridiculous bulge he got. The wolf could see massive globs of pre dripping out of his cockhead, falling down and leaving a trail that hit the ground as he turned himself on even more. He wasn't just a massive muscle monster, he was also a virile beast.

"Hell yeah…" He whispered as softly as he could, making sure his deep voice wouldn't wake up the kobold. But then again, his body creaking for every movement is enough of a noise and Tony was still fast asleep. He just chuckled to himself, looking at this handsome face framed by his muscles; traps rising up to his ears, shoulders and delts so wide, his pecs more expansive than an actual shelf. He was a beast at his 6 foot 5 frame.

He chuckled as he slowly exited the room, having to turn around to fit his tree trunk arm, then his ever so thick torso; he felt his pecs and back graze the door frame as he successfully exited the room, now at the wide corridor.

And immediately that feeling went back as he felt the corridors were…too narrow than he remembered. Just as he closed the door gently, he saw that his frame took up almost half of the hallway, even when he's not flexing. The wide hallways the big, fancy school dorm boasts were probably around 12 feet wide, and yet he took most of it with his shoulders and arms. The weird feeling came back, but he can't help but feel a bit turned on.

Finn waddled towards the lobby, thankful that their room is on the first floor, a fact that made him feel weird again. He eventually encountered a group of students approaching, at least five of them, and he couldn't help the smirk as they all were at awe while looking at his hulking frame and especially his leaking morning log, even more when they realized that they had to squeeze through the wolf's frame. Finn could have raised his left arm to let them through, but he enjoyed being a big obstacle for these guys, even letting them feel his tree trunk of an arm as they went on their ways.

"Dang, that's hot as fuck, but…" Was he really so huge that he could block even a hallway this big? If this was a normal sized hallway like the ones from the normal dorms, then he probably wouldn't even fit at all, even sideways!

And that thought swam around his mind as he did his laps around the college. The wolf can't help but notice his muscles, especially his thick pecs bouncing every step. He could feel all that density slamming against the ground, and it all made him incredibly horny. The front of his boxers was already translucent from all that pre he's leaking, his cock swinging around every step and spraying all that pre around him, his heavy balls slamming against his impossibly thick thighs. He already apologized to those that had been sprayed, but they didn't seem to mind it. It was as if…

"They're used to it." The thought made him stop and rest on a bench, careful not to put his whole weight into it, especially as it creaked. He really can't deny it now; just one look at his monstrous self and it was evident.

"I'm way too big…something happened. I'm sure of it." He concluded. He wasn’t as smart as the kobold, but he knew when to trust his gut feeling about something. Never failed him before. But the problem now is…

"What the hell happened to me?"

***

In the meantime, the kobold was starting to wake up from his deep slumber, his long heavy limbs stretching before his hands hit the wall behind him abruptly, causing him to wince.

"Oww…I keep forgetting about that." The huge, shirtless kobold sighed, scratching around his pecs as he slowly woke himself up. He'd never been a morning person in general, but living the college life really cemented how he hates mornings; even when he had a full schedule, he made sure to get the later times.

The red scaled giant yawned loudly, his pecs pumping up a bit as he sat on the bedside and heard it groan. He always joked that Finn was the heavy one, but he was getting just as dense. They were pretty much the two hulking titans in this college, as much as he begrudged that title. He simply couldn't help it when he was at least two feet or so taller than anyone else…

…was he?

"Hmm, not that thought again…" He sighed, slowly standing up to his full 8 foot 6 height, his frame bursting with huge muscles that he stretched and flexed to keep him limber. All this mass that somehow appeared in his body despite his sedentary lifestyle really made it hard for him to move, but Finn always reminded him that as a fellow hulk he should stretch his entire body every morning. 'Big hulks like us need to be limber', and all that. And for every creak of his body, he was rewarded with the growing sense of mobility.

And with that thought, it reminded him that something was wrong again. He cracked his neck before looking down over his pecs and into the ground, and he suddenly felt a bit of vertigo as if the sight was new to him, which is weird. He had to always look down since he's at least 2 feet taller than the average person, always kneeling down when talking to his family. He remembered when he visited them last year and he had to sit outside since he had outgrown the den and everything else like…always…

"Wait, that doesn't make sense…right?" Tony mumbled to himself, moving on auto-pilot as he paced around the room. He could feel his long, thick tail dragging behind him as his head continued to swim in such thoughts. "No way could I be this tall when my parents are short, especially since I'm this muscular as well…"

Despite the logic, he clearly remembered being recorded as the biggest kobold, something that he was really shy about. A few more memories popped in, specifically the memory of him meeting Finn for the first time; looking down at him and admiring his width and thickness as the wolf invited him to a gym after looking over his body, and then they compared cock sizes since the wolf saw his growing bulge and…

"Fuck, that's what's wrong." Tony shook his head, suddenly hyper aware of his room and how huge it is…and how huge HE is. The lone cabinet they got contained his oversized clothes barely reached his chest, their beds that seemed too huge, enough to fit two or three people on it, the little table and beanbag they got that seemed much larger than he remembered. Even the room!

Tony looked up with a gulp and saw how the ceilings were so close to his face, putting a palm up and how much his huge mitts cover the ceiling, watching his massive arms bulge from the slightest movement from the corner of his eye.

Now that he thought about it, was he even THIS buff back then? He remembered memories of having to ask the wolf to carry heavy stuff, but also of him being asked by many to do the same. A clear memory was him with an arm wrestling match against the wolf, two memories of him losing, but one was him being curbstomped, and another of him just…slightly able to fight.

"Well, at least something hadn't changed." He clinged to that similarity as a lifeline, all while inspecting his body even more; the sight of his scales decorating those heaving mounds of mass was surreal. At this point he became aware that he was barely wearing anything, only a tight tank top and shorts, and somehow that urged him to step in front of the mirror and just…flex. Channeling the spirit of that hulk of a wolf, he copied all the poses that Finn had done a lot of times. He watched his muscles swell for his every pose, each one shunting his muscles far bigger than any bodybuilder he had seen online, and with his height he was a towering presence that would loom over the tallest basketball players.

But what really got him was the…massive thing tenting his shorts. His massive cock was hard and throbbing, already leaking precum he could see a clear line of pre just drip down and puddle on the floor. The giant kobold moaned a bit as he thrusted his hips and enjoyed how massive he was. He was probably around 18 inches hard, the thickness almost rivaling his forearms.

Looking back to his reflection, or what he could see from the tiny mirror, he was basically his dream man. HE really can't deny it. He was HUGE!

"Okay, so I'm huge…really huge…" The idea was hot, and he liked what he's seeing and feeling a lot, but he still wondered how that even happened. And how he thought this was normal all this time! He should have noticed growing this huge and looking more like a dragon than a kobold. He even had a long tail!

Tony moaned as another load of pre gushed out through his shorts and dripped down again. He had to stop flexing or else that morning wood of his would just erupt; he didn't have time to clean up his mess, he still had a study session to prepare.

"Soaking of…" He looked back to the cube just by the corner of the room, still glowing a dim green. Weirdly enough, he had…some inklings of how heavy it is, but he decided to grab and lift it up and…

"Oh…it's a bit lighter than I remembered." He definitely felt it now. As if all that flexing wasn't enough, the cube being so light had truly cemented the idea that something was wrong. He wasn't as strong as this, nor was he tall, that he knew now. He did a few experimental curls and it was light enough to give him little resistance. Before he could have an idea of throwing this thing around, he put it back gently, feeling his arms like Finn would do after his intense one ton curls.

"Speaking of, he should be getting back from his jog, right now." The thought of Finn knowing all this was…he had mixed feelings on it. He could already tell that Finn would take this seriously, and with his game close, he rather not take more focus than he already did; him helping is more than enough.

"Okay, it's decided then. I won't tell him.'" At least until he figured out what was happening to him, gather evidence and take notes and all that. He trusts him, of course, just that…it's kind of embarrassing how much he's liking this.

"Man, I'm really huge." Tony chuckled to himself, flexing a bit before taking a shower. He rather not be seen flexing about. He lumbered towards the shower and saw two brushes, one large enough for him. That made his tail wag as he tried to reach the middle of his back…and failed.

"Fuck, alright. Focus." He entered the shower, ducking to get wet as the shower head barely reached his chest and began washing himself. As he was doing this, he just sighed.

"Why did everything happen at the same time?"

***

When the wolf came back from his jog, he was already fresh from the shower. He was heading to the open showers his team always uses and surprisingly some of the guys there were waiting for him, already prepped to help him clean up. Apparently that's a thing now, and a good one since he could never hope to touch his back now. Just another weird thing that he thoroughly enjoyed.

"Oh hey, you're back."

"Yeah, just had a bit of trouble on the way."

They both looked at each other and their eyes widened before taming the surprise back down and hiding it with a forced grin. It was a bit obvious but they were both surprised at how the other looked…different.

"S-so! We study?"

"Yeah, yeah! Just let me…prepare the notes."

The two were scrambling to get their thoughts in order, yet it was no use. The thought of their changes were now firmly at the forefront of their minds, now with the added problem of thinking the other is ignorant of their changes.

Finn gulped as he took quick glances of the kobold, having to look way up to even see that handsome face before turning around and checking a random part of his apartment. Just like him, Tony took quick glances as well, mesmerized by the sheer girth and width of the wolf before focusing on his notes. Despite the silence, their cocks were spurting out globs of pre, already making a mess of their dorm.

After a few moments of thinking, Finn decided to break the thick layer of sexual tension, chuckling nervously as he broke through with his usual charm.

"So, how many books are we reading today?"

Tony snapped out of his work, blushing a bit since he knew the answer would be…quite a lot. "I brought ten in all, pretty much got what I think I needed." Tony lumbered back to the small table and sat in front of it with legs crossed. He grabbed the glowing cube from the beanbag, not noticing Finn's eyes widening, and placed it beside the table so it's well within their sights. "Pretty much got some stuff relating to furniture and decorations. If we don't get it from this, then I'll have to ask Professor Kris for hints next time."

The wolf was still distracted by that show of strength, but once he was able to process the info, he clicked his tongue in frustration. He inadvertently flexed his right arm and as he continued the conversation. "Dang, I feel bad for suggesting that it's a lamp if you're having trouble."

"It's what comes to mind easily. I don't blame you." Tony watched that arm bulge and flex, solidifying that thought of his as he watched the wolf lumber towards the table, so wide that he was wider than the table itself. He tried to focus on something else, but his eyes snapped to that throbbing morning log, far larger than his, leaking pre on the floor. Even he wasn't as virile as the hulk.

The kobold snapped out of it though, making sure that everything is perfectly normal, even though it really isn't. "Uh, well! Honestly, I'm surprised it isn't. But it's still a lead I can use so we'll have to settle for it for now."

The wolf snickered, grabbing a book and holding it up for him to read, trying to block the sight of the massive kobold right in front of him. His tail swished low as he kept eying the once-small kobold, or at least he thinks he was, now a massive towering kobold that looked pretty handsome. God, how much he wanna talk about it, his cock already leaking, but he continued to have a bit of decorum.

"So, we read?"

"We read!" Tony smiled a goofy grin, before sighing, his thoughts now moving on to the cube. "Thanks again for this."

Finn merely laughed, flexing his muscles a bit before nodding. "No problem, big nerd!"

The two went on and kept on reading, ordering lots of takeouts for both lunch and dinner as they stayed in the room for hours. Finn had mandated a few stretching sessions to keep the blood flowing, something Tony appreciated especially so he can watch those incredibly thick muscles flex and tighten. The notes they got were sparse, not for lack of trying, but for lack of relevant info.

"Hey, big nerd? Check this out, the one about patterns and secret doors. Could be useful." The nickname felt foreign to Finn, yet also right. He truly was a big nerd. He handed over a thick book to the kobold who grabbed it with interest. The kobold's paws practically swallowed the book as he read the page.

"Oh, nice find! Thanks, Finn." Tony sighed in relief as he saw the passage talking about pressing panels to activate something. There weren't any pictures but it was enough to give him some hope. He looked back to the hulking wolf, watching him stretch those hulkish arms up as he yawned just as wide as himself. The kobold just chuckled, enjoying the sight as he yawned as well. "You tired? It's close to midnight right now."

"Damn, really? Time flies when you have fun and all that." The wolf quickly flexed his mighty arms, feeling the space between his forearms and head be filled by his biceps. "And nah, I'm still raring to go!"

The two just laughed at that, staying for a few more hours before finally retiring. Despite the hours of research, it still felt like Tony wasn't even close to discovering the cube's nature. But Finn picked him up. There's always tomorrow, he said and Tony took that to heart.

Books, notes, and various boxes of takeout were cleaned up quickly, and now the two are doing their nightly rituals. But now that they have the time for themselves, out of the research, they can't help but think back to each other.

'Man, I don't think Tony towered over me THAT much. Dude has to look down at me to even see eye to eye, my neck hurts just thinking of it. And look at those guns! Big nerd is set to win Mr. Olympia with how huge he is. Not as huge as me though, but Tony definitely grew. I can feel it. I just know he should be smaller, but…god, but he looks so hot. Maybe I can squeeze a little fun later on before we turn back? CAN we turn back?'

'I can't believe Finn could even move with all that bulk. He's almost 550 pounds and he's moving so effortlessly. I mean, as much as he could. And look at that…I don't think it's even considered a bulge considering how obvious it is. It's longer than my forearm and way thicker still. He's definitely larger than what I thought, though he seems to be enjoying it a lot. And…me too, really. Fuck, those biceps are HUGE!'

Despite the horny thoughts, they continued to think of each other and themselves as well. Finn was a bit hornier than ever; the thought of them growing made him giddy. He was leaking pre even when he quickly succumbed to his tiredness, his cock not as tired as his mind and body. Meanwhile, the kobold was a bit wary of what's happening to them, or at least what he thinks is happening to them. It was nice growing but will it ever stop? How long has this been going? So many to consider.

As he lay down on his massive bed, thoughts of those spiraled his mind. From him, to the wolf, to the cube that still glows a dull green. And it wasn't until he fell deep into sleep did those thoughts slowly get buried, leaving him with a general thought.

"I wonder…"

***

In the dark of night, the cube uttered another beep, miraculously not disturbing the two slumbering beasts. With no witnesses, the cube had deemed it safe to move onto the next phase.

With another rumbling beep, its glow brightened up just a bit, washing the two guys' forms with its stronger light.

The two continued to sleep, unaware of their next spurts of growth.a
