Growing Together

A group of four friends turned roommates realize that living together can sometimes strain the bonds. Fortunately one of the friends that were there had gotten the attention of the nexus lords who decide to help fix their relationship.


College life wasn't easy; though there was fun to be had the stress of exams, tuition costs, and generally living were hard to balance when attempting to get a diploma. For those that lived in the dorms it was even harder as there was the inevitable clashing of having roommates that had to be handled as well as the life that came with being a student. For four friends since high school they thought that they had cracked the code to that little endeavor by opting to live together in the same room, but as the school year continued on they found that the space given to four people to cohabitate was not the same as needed in order to enjoy one's company. It didn't help that the four of them were interested in different hobbies, so instead of one thing they could put in their shared living space to enjoy it was often scattered with four different sets of items that were left out for the others to deal with.

"Damnit Jake!" the man yelled out as he grabbed onto the wall, nearly spilling his bowl of cereal as he looked at the hand barbell that he had nearly tripped over. At the mention of the name one of the four bedroom doors opened and another guy looked out from it, the sound of speed metal music being heard as the blond-haired man looked to see what was happening. "How many times do I have to tell you to bring your weights back in your room when you're done using them out here!"

"Whoa, chill out Brian," Jake said as he walked out of his room, his body clad only in a pair of gym shorts while his muscular torso remained exposed. "At least those things are coated in neoprene, I almost cut myself on one of those stupid computer boards you left out while I was trying to watch the game here."

Brian sighed and moved to the left in order to let the bigger man grab his barbell. "At least I keep my stuff mostly in my room," Brian huffed as he started to head towards his own door, only to see their third roommate come out from the door next to Jake's and look inside his room angrily. "Looks like I'm not the only one about to chew your ear off."

"Jake!" The olive skinned man shouted when he saw Jake standing there. "You have to turn down the music when you play it! Squish is becoming very agitated that we can hear that crap coming through the walls."

"Hey, why the hell is everyone ganging up on me?" Jake replied as he pointed to the one that had just come out. "Plus I thought you weren't supposed to have pets on campus in the dorms Sasha, especially not a snake!"

"He's part of my research project!" Sasha replied as he brushed back his long brown hair from his face.

"Oh come on," Brian scoffed this time. "We all know that you are just keeping it as a pet, it just happens to align with your courses right now."

"Well he keeps better company then you guys," Sasha shot back. "Plus he's not loud as hell dropping weights and grunting all the time!"

As Jake was about to respond the final door opened and the three turned their heads to see the last of their roommates standing there angrily. Much like Brian he had a pale complexion but with short black hair and grey eyes marked with eyeliner. "Why in the hells are you all yelling right now?!" the goth shouted angrily. "You have awakened the dark spirit that-"

"That dwells within you and consumes your soul," Sasha finished while rolling his eyes. "We know Matt, I was just going back to someone whose company I still enjoy. Also if the RA comes in and sees that you stained the carpet in the main room with whatever demon summoning ritual you were trying to do it's coming out of your deposit, you got that?"

"You would have been happy if the forces of darkness had come to by beck and call," Matt replied angrily as he narrowed his eyes at Brian. "Or maybe not for some of you, especially those that stay up until six in the morning working on their stupid computer."

"Now that's actually relevant to my major," Brian quickly retorted.

"I already said mine was too!" Sasha interjected angrily.

As the four continued to argue they were unaware that someone had taken notice of the ritual that had taken place in their dorm room, shadowy figures watching them argue as they watched through the viewing portal. "Such a shame that it seems four friendships are about to come to an end," the shadowy deer said. "I think it would behoove us to go in and help, don't you? Especially considering that there is something they have together that they don't even realize."

"I think that it's only right that we interject," the serpentine shadow hissed in delight as his translucent eyes stared at the one that was named Sasha. "I already know who I'm visiting, seems like we're a perfect match unlike their living situation."

"There's a reason we have our own separate realms," the huge bear stated as he scratched the black fur of his muscle gut while looking at the jock with his glowing honey-colored eyes. "Plus I think I know which one I can work with, he'd be perfect for a little ursine intervention."

"Obviously you all know which one I want," the eagle behind the bear stated as he pointed to the one that had just gone back into his room where his beloved computer said. "Which just leaves you Olavar, you alright with the one that got our attention in the first place?"

"I think that I can certainly make it work," the deer said as he watched the goth go back to his room just like the others, all of them slamming their respective doors with a loud series of bangs. "Why don't we see if we can bring these four back together?"

*********

Brian let out a deep groan of frustration as he sat with his back against the door. He hated when he went at his friends like that, but things were not going well with their living situation and he was starting to be at his wit's end. At first they had spent most of their time together in the common room that served as their living area but as time went on he found himself sequestered to his bedroom like the others. Othen the argument they had just gotten into he hadn't seen the other three all week, though there was another reason for that as well.

The PC he had been building was one of his biggest passion projects; any money that he didn't need to go to food or his tuition was spent on getting parts for this thing, and other than an unfortunate incident involving Jake sitting on one of his parts because he had left the small box on the couch things had gone rather smoothly. But just as he thought that he was getting close to the perfect build it would suddenly not work for him, which not only meant that he needed to troubleshoot all night to try and find the problem but he couldn't even play any games like when he was still swapping parts. It had partially been the cause of his frustration and as he finished wiring up the last of his graphics cards he pushed the button again only to get nothing but an error screen.

"Errors can be nasty little demons, can't they?"

The voice had come so suddenly he thought that one of his roommates had somehow gotten into his room without him realizing, only to look up and find there was no one there. Once he had confirmed that, his room being rather small so that the likelihood of someone hiding from him was very low, he checked his speakers to see if he had somehow gotten it to work but the screen was in error. "Relationships can sometimes be a lot like computers," the voice said again, this time Brian recognizing that it definitely wasn't any of his roommates. "Sometimes it's just a simple thing that is causing a lot of problems, the solution just can't be seen because the programmer is blinded by the problem."

"Who's there?" Brian said as he got away from his computer, opening the door and peeking out to see that there was no one out there. He also looked out the window despite them being on the fourth floor of the building and when there was nothing there either he turns back into his room only to see that he was no longer alone. "What the hell?!"

"Not the most polite greeting," the synth eagle said with a chuckle. "But considering the surprise I suppose it would do. This is an interesting computer set-up that you're trying to accomplish, if not a little rudimentary in its configuration."

Brian was stunned as the avian creature leaned in and looked at his rig, examining it with his chrome eyes scanning it over. "I... I'm clearly hallucinating," Brian said as he shook his head. "I shocked myself from the latent energy that was still in the board, I'm actually lying on my floor right now."

"I assure you that your grounding was perfectly acceptable and you drained the power sufficiently," Haleon explained as he stood back up and took a step towards him. "The problem you're having is that your circuit pathways are defective in several spots, microcracks that have severed the connection between several data points. My name is Haleon, by the way."

"I'm... Brian," Brian replied, unsure of what to do in this situation as the creature continued to stand in front of him. With the initial shock passing he began to realize that he was staring at a technological marvel; whether an actual hallucination or some sort of actual robot, both being potentially viable at this point, if this creature was real then it was a completely self-sufficient and fully functional machine operated being. "This is real, isn't it?"

"Glad you're coming around," Haleon replied with a grin. "Now I can sense the frustrations you're having with your friends are being partially contributed to this machine, so why don't I help you out and see if I can get you in a better mood. Of course my expertise comes with what some may consider additional benefits, but my methods of machine learning are far different and transformative then what you will find at this college. Would you like to accept my help wherever it leads, or do you want to continue to bang your head against the wall and eventually find yourself looking for new roommates and friends?"

Brian wasn't sure how to respond to that as his brain was still trying to wrap itself around the fact that there was some strange robot creature in his room, though strangely the more that he was around this creature the more at ease he got. "Sure, why not," Brian finally said. "Tell me what's wrong with my rig."

"Oh, I'm not going to tell you exactly what to do," Haleon replied. "But I will help you feel out the problem. Before that though we're going to be handling your components a lot, so why don't you go ahead and get naked for me."

"Naked?" Brian asked in shock.

"Yeah, keep from static shock or whatever," Haleon replied. "Get undressed and let's get going."

Though he wasn't sure that was the case as soon as he said that he was fine with Haleon helping he felt like doing what he asked, even if that meant getting undressed for the strange creature that ended up in his room. Considering he was clad in just a pair of sweats and a t-shirt with no underwear it didn't take him too long to disrobe and only felt slightly awkward about it. It was his room after all, Brian found himself reasoning, why shouldn't he be naked and feel comfortable about it? While it was a strange, almost alien thought of his he found himself not thinking much about it as he moved to his open computer case along with the synth eagle.

Just as Brian was about to reconnect his power supply to turn it on again Haleon stopped him, shaking his head and pointing towards the circuit board while telling him to feel it out. Though it was impossible to try and find a broken circuit just by touch he decided to humor the synch and reach forward, only to pull back when he felt something strange. It was like there was still electricity flowing through it and as Haleon reached out to grab his hand he felt a similar sensation, causing his jaw to drop slightly when he could almost feel information passing back and forth between them. While continuing to hold his hand the synth guided his fingers back to the circuit board and pressed them again with this time holding him there in order to really start to feel the sensation that he had only glanced at before.

Though it was hard for him to explain it felt like he was absorbing the information that was on the motherboard, feeling it in his mind like he was able to see it working despite there not being any power or external relays to show it. He could also feel where the breaks were in the connection points and as his fingers started to trace over there he let out a grunt of pleasure despite himself. He could feel his cheeks go red as the feeling of diagnosing his machine was exciting him more than porn was but the synth either didn't notice or didn't care as they got to the area that was defective. Normally special equipment would be needed in order to fix pathways like that but Haleon merely winked and said he had all the tools they needed, watching the silver metal of the avian's fingertips move over his own before being told to concentrate on where it needed to go.

When Brian did two things happened, he felt the liquid metal go to where it was needed and he also felt a surge of pleasure go through his body. On first instinct he thought that he might have been electrocuted and as he looked down at his hand he saw that his entire arm looked swollen and the skin of his fingers had turned black. The moment of panic though was fleeting and as another wave of arousal swept over him he grunted again and saw the darkness spreading, quickly cascading up the flesh of his forearms and then his biceps as they quickly thickened with muscle. Though he was about to pull away he suddenly felt the strength, the power, the pleasure that came from this strange ability and as green fur sprouted on his wrists there lines of green circuitry that were forming on his bicep and rapidly expanding shoulder.

"I see you found the real cyber demon here," Haleon said with a chuckle as Brian's eyes were starting to roll back into his head, which tilted back as his hair shifted to a bright green hue and his facial stubble began to grow into a full beard. "That's what you want to be, right? An entity with a mastery of electronics at your fingertips and the strength of body to match your mind, a true daemon of technology."

Daemon... of technology... the words sank into Brian's head just like the pair of horns that grew out of it as Haleon slipped up his beefy arm and moved behind him. "Oh... yes... I can see everything wrong now..." Brian managed to stammer out, his voice deepening as the eagle slid his metallic arms around and cupped his rapidly thickening pectorals that took him by surprise. "Oh hell, I'm getting ripped! I think I'm bigger than Jake!"

"For now at least," Haleon replied with a chuckle, watching the man look around and put his free hand on his phone while it also began to swell. As he touched the new technology more lines of circuitry appeared to match his other side as his somewhat pudgy stomach quickly flattened and defined to become a set of washboard abs. "Just focus on those connections, see how things work so much better when bonds are forged and not broken."

Though Brian knew that Haleon was actually talking about his friendships with the others it was hard for him to focus on anything but the pleasure he was getting, especially as his new meaty pecs were massaged while thick green fur-like hair grew in between. The lesson had taken a turn for the lewd and Brian didn't care, he hadn't realized what a turn on technology was for him and as he felt the synth eagle's cock start to push between his thickening cheeks he found himself moaning unabashedly in pleasure. His muscular upper body leaned forward and he kept assimilating the information on his devices as he felt his spine stretching, the popping vertebrate not only making him taller but also causing something unexpected to grow out from his tailbone. As Haleon began to slide between his thick butt and spread him open the tail he was growing pushed out against him before flopping to the side.

"What do you think?" Haleon asked as he grabbed the man by his widening hips, seeing the circuit lines appearing on his shins as the black coloration spread down while also causing his maleness to surge with new growth.

"I think... you were right," Brian huffed as he was about to reach down to stroke his throbbing member, only for Haleon to reach forward and stroke it as their bodies pressed together. "Connection... is very important..."

Jake let out a loud grunt as he lifted the barbells for his next rep of arm curls, his face contorted in a grimace as he heard the speed metal in the headphones that were in his ears. Normally he would be at the athletic center in order to work out as much as possible but it had been closed for the last week and forced him to do things in his room. It was already cramped in the apartment but with the other three constantly ragging on him for working on in the living area he had been relegated to his bedroom for some private workout time. He would likely go for a run later in order to get out and get some fresh air, as well as get away from his roommates, but he needed to finish up his sets so he didn't get an imbalanced workout.

When he finished with the last round Jake felt no better than before and wanted to slam down the barbells, but knowing that Sasha was in the room next to his the last thing he needed was to rile him and his precious snake up. After he had finished up he went over to the mirror that was on the wardrobe and looked at his reflection in the mirror. Though he was there on a sports scholarship and maintained his physique partially for that his real endeavor was to start male modeling, wanting to be on the cover of a muscle magazine that he had secured underneath his bed. He wanted to have a body that men wanted to strive for, flexing his muscles and striking a pose like what he had seen in order to try and find if he had made any progress towards his goal.

"You know if you focus on your chest a little more you could get some good definition in those pectorals," a voice suddenly said, causing Jake to jump and nearly spin around on the spot. The voice was deep and smooth and definitely didn't belong to any one of his roommates, but when he looked around he didn't see anyone. It was something that had caused him to shudder as he stood there clad only in his gym shorts as it felt like there was someone else in the room with him.

There was still no one there that he could see and after standing there for almost a minute with nothing happening he sighed and chalked it up to potentially hearing the television outside, then turned back towards the mirror. As he was about to check his sides to make sure they were gaining tone and definition though he suddenly saw that there were a pair of clawed, brown furred fingers pressed against his tanned sides. He let out a sharp gasp but this time when he attempted to turn around he found that he was held in place. His eyes glanced up in shock and when he did he saw a sight that he had not expected; his eyes widening and jaw dropping when he saw the visage of a bear staring at him, honey-colored eyes staring at him with a warm grin on his muzzle.

"Don't freak out, name's Garlan," the large, heavily muscled bear man said as Jake suddenly became aware of the thick fur that was pressing against his back. Though suddenly having someone right behind him in his room was freaking him out there was something so... strangely comforting about the creature behind him, the warmth and softness of the man causing him to relax more then he expected. It didn't hurt that when he noticed the physique of the creature that the man had was just like those in his magazine... and the more his gaze went down the more he saw that he was completely naked.

"So... there's a huge naked bear guy in my dorm room," Jake said as he finally managed to calm down, turning around and finding that the reflection in the mirror was in fact real. "Holy shit... you're huge, and you're real..." Even though it was still hard to believe he found himself putting his fingers into the fur and pressing against the thick pecs and washboard abs that were underneath. "...and you're ripped to hell."

"Glad you approve," Garlan replied as he continued to rub his large hands up and down the sides of the human. "You're pretty shredded yourself, though I can tell that you really want more. Of course you know that it takes hard work and discipline, but are you aware of what else it takes to get a body like this?"

"What's that?" Jake asked, finding himself growing more comfortable by the second even with this naked creature standing and essentially groping him.

Garlan grinned and laid back against the small bench that Jake had to do chest lifts, leaning back and tapping his hands against the cross bar that was across it near his thighs. "It's dedication to the cause," Garlan explained. "Just like dedication to relationships, one needs to make sure that no matter what that you keep your eyes on what matters. And since you're eyeing me up why don't you give me a few push-ups using the crossbar, if you do so I can really show you some means to get growth on that body of yours."

Though Jake knew where the bear was going he found himself already feeling the tingle of power that was starting to suffuse through his system. He hadn't even realized that he had started to get hard himself and with how muscular this ursine creature was he couldn't help but admire it, though it was tinged with lust as he did what he was told. There was something about the way Garlan said it that wasn't a command but he wast still compelled to do so. The promise of growth was more than enough to get his hands on the bar and looking down at the throbbing shaft of the other man.

Though he attempted to not notice it as he got in position he could feel it rubbing against his cheek as he started to do his usual push-ups, Garlan grinning as he could see the man continue to look at the throbbing shaft. "Not bad, though if you need a little pump I'm sure that you know where to get it," Garlan stated as he reached down and wagged his shaft with one hand. "Show me that dedication to your physique like I believe you have with your friends, unless of course you don't think you could handle such a thing for some extra growth."

"Are you saying to suck your dick for muscles?" Jake asked, Garlan chuckling and nodding simply as his large paw rubbed against the groin of the human. Though his jaw dropped slightly at that he found himself not as shocked as he had imagined, his arms shaking slightly as he looked at the tip of his maleness. "I mean, I suppose others have done stranger things for muscle, and this won't shrink my own dick, right?"

"Quite the opposite," Garlan replied with that grin still on his face. A chance to be like one of those men on the cover of a magazine, it was no weirder then the fact a muscular bear man had somehow made his way into his room as he one-handed the push-up while grabbing onto the shaft of the bear's cock with the other. He guided the tip to his lips and could only imagine what his roommates would think of him as he held it there and brought back his hand to the bar to lower himself down.

The first time he pushed down he hardly got the head inside of his mouth, but the second that he did the human's entire body shuddered with both pleasure and growth. It was like the one push-up he had done had just turned into a hundred and as he lowered himself again he could feel the growth in his back and chest muscles. It was an intoxicating feeling; all the strength he had wanted was being given to him was so enthralling he hardly noticed that his short hair was growing longer and his jaws were starting to stretch. His mind was completely obsessed on feeling his biceps and pectorals swelling, the skin darkening and turning black while his teeth grew out around the cock that was pushing deeper into his maw with every pump.

Soon it became hard to ignore the fact he had a feline muzzle, or that his upper body had become thickly scaled. As he continued to work out Jake merely became more vigorous with his newfound ability, aided by the bear leaning forward that had grabbed onto the horns that were pushing out from his head. Soon his thickening neck had taken in the entirety of the throbbing shaft and as the transforming human could feel his ears twitching and stretching he could feel his own cock pushing out from between his legs. It was the esctasy that came with his working out times a thousands as he was pulled off the throbbing shaft with his new tongue lolling out of his muzzle.

"Not bad for your upper body workout," Garlan said with a grin as he turned the half-transformed creature around, Jake's red eyes widening in shock at the visage that he had adopted. He looked like a primal animal, and as he found himself flexing his biceps he found his monstrous muscles looked better then anything those puny humans had as a pair of hands were pressed on his hips. "Can't forget your legs though, quite important."

This time there was no reluctance as Jake needed more, turning his body around so that he could work on some squats as Garlan would say. Just like with his maw it took a few moments before he could get the head of it past the ring of muscle but as soon as it started to slide into him he could already feel the power flowing into his form. It was everything Garlan had promised and more; as Jake let out a gutteral growl he could see that his already partially bloated thighs and hips pushed out even more as the black scales spread downwards, though as he began to do his squats and impale himself further on the throbbing shaft he felt something happening to his stomach. As he looked down while holding onto the bar with his clawed hands it looked like he was already being stretched out by the cock inside of him, only to see that instead of one lump there was two.

Jake had already grown a set of washboard abs and as his own heavy shaft flopped up and down he let out a loud groan past his sharpened teeth as the two bulges just above his groin were pushing outwards. The deep huffs from the transforming creature grew more steady as his spine popped and stretched, each squat taking less to go down as his thighs and calves bulged with new growth. "Ohhh... fuck..." Jake groaned as his back arched, feeling it push up as he managed to hilt the bear's cock and felt the new limbs under his stomach finally emerge fully.

"Now that's something new," Garlan said with a chuckle as he leaned forward, holding onto the forelimbs of the tauric creature to guide him down on the forepaws that were growing while the hands of transformed man let go of the bar and twitched in pleasure. "You are such a powerful, strong creature, you're going to be the envy of anyone that looks at you. Of course there's still a little work to go, why don't you go with another set of push-ups while we keep giving you more muscle..."

Jake was more than happy to do so for his new master; Jake's tongue licking against the fangs of his lupine muzzle as the tauric dragon-wolf found himself on all fours with his new legs, his arms grabbing onto a set of barbells while Garlan stood and began to thrust his hips into the still growing man...

************

Though much was happening just on the other side of the wall for his dorm Sasha heard none of it, instead all he heard was the quiet ambient sounds he had put on in order to settle his pet snake Squish. As he looked at the corn snake he let out a sigh and found himself rubbing his temples while laying back on his bed. He didn't like the idea of fighting with his roommates and filling the entire area with negativity, especially since he liked the guys just as much as he did the creature that was next to him in its tank. Though he didn't lie that Squish was part of his project for his studies he was also almost family at this point and wanted to make sure that he was taken as well care of as he possibly could.

In truth he loved all snakes; even though he wasn't sure what he could even do with his major once he had finished university he didn't care, anything that was able to let him sit there and study creatures like Squish made him exceptionally happy. It perhaps made him a bit more possessive and demanding on his environment but he didn't care as he brought his finger to the tank and wiggled it to watch the creature on the other side follow it. "Funny, normally when I get summoned to colleges like this one it's because of my sphere of influence in booze," a voice said suddenly, causing Sasha to suddenly sit up in his bed.

"Hey, whoever decided to come in my room can get out," Sasha said as he looked to see who had walked inside, only to stop when he found that the small room was not occupied by anyone other than himself and Squish. As he looked at the snake the head of the creature almost seemed to look back at him as though asking him if he had heard it. "Uh... maybe Jake just turned up his speakers again..."

Sasha took a look around and even went over towards the door to see if someone was on the other side, though as he did he began to feel a heat rising up in him that was causing him to feel a bit flustered. With there not being individual temperature control options the four had agreed to one at the start of the year and while his was a little warmer due to the snake tank he was finding it almost stifling. Perhaps... he needed to strip out of his clothing, his mind thought to himself as he slowly began to pull of his shirt. Normally he stayed dressed even when he slept but there was something about the cloth rubbing against his skin and the way that it was still getting warmer in his room that he needed to pull it off.

"Like a snake shedding skin," the voice once more said, nearly causing Sasha to jump while he still had his shirt pulled over his head. Before he had a chance to pull it off of him to see who the very clear creature belonged to he felt a pair of cool hands press against his thin stomach, causing him to shudder even more as a similar gel-like substance to those fingers pressed against his exposed legs. "Need some help there Sasha?"

Hearing a voice that clearly didn't belong to one of his roommates along with the fact that something was slithering around his body had caused his panic to rise and for him to squirm a bit, but as he felt the shirt that had gotten caught on his head slowly get lifted off he found that it was an oddly comforting embrace around his legs. It was like he had just been encircled with those goo-filled ice packs and as he finally got the cloth off of his head he looked down and gasped in shock. He wasn't sure what he was expecting but it wasn't the thick black coils of a huge snake wrapped around his limbs, though it wasn't completely a snake as the body of the other man had looped around to reveal what he could only describe was a naga.

"You're... what?" Sasha asked, his heart pounding in his chest at the admittedly studly creature, reminding him of Jake's physique as the goo naga looked at him with surprisingly clear, translucent eyes. "Oh my god, you're so beautiful..."

"I'm so glad that you approve," Athear hissed in reply, stroking down the man's cheek. "My name is Athear. It's rare to meet someone infatuated with the serpentine form, and in that way I'm here to help you realize the dream that you don't even know what you have. Not only that but we'll discover something that you have forgotten while in your blind pursuit of your craft."

Though Sasha was about to say something he was interrupted as the goo naga tweaked his nipples, causing a surge of pleasure to course though his body as he began to feel a tingling sensation not only in the sensitive flesh but also where his limbs were wrapped around. "What... what have I forgotten..." Sasha asked, though it was hard to keep a thought in his head as he began to see the flesh of his chest darkening.

"Companionship," Athear whispered, Sasha feeling him slither around until the muscular chest of the other male was pressed against his back. "While you seek it in your friend there you need to make sure that your coils are around those that you trust, those like your friends that are out there. Such bonds are hard to forge, I wouldn't be so hasty to dismiss them, isn't that right?"

"That's right," a third voice said, this one taking Sasha by surprise as he could see Squish pressed against the glass of his tank looking right at him. He could hardly believe that he just heard; as the goo naga pressed against his bare skin, the coils of the creature somehow managing to take off his pants and underwear without him realizing, Athear continued to keep him facing his beloved pet as the corn snake began to grow and continued to talk. "I love that you spend so much time with me, but I don't want my presence to get in the way of your friends."

"Squish... you can talk?" Sasha gasped, hearing Athear chuckle behind him and those gooey claws ran up and down his stomach.

"He, and by extension you, can do much more than that," Athear proposed as he nibbled the ear of the human, which was already starting to stretch out into a point just like the one on the other side as power suffused into him. "I can give you abilities that you desire, powers that can serve to interact with creatures like your Squish and really bond with them. Would you like this power from me, deepening your companionship with him and others?"

Though Sasha was still getting used to the foreign sensations that were happening to his body he could see the snake slowly nodding at him, as though telling him to take the deal of the creature that had wrapped around him. Though the whole situation was surreal just hearing the voice of his pet was enough to get him to nod as the gooey naga stretched around and was practically muzzle to lips. As soon as he agreed the distance between their faces was closed and he felt a forked tongue pushed into his mouth, the appendage surprisingly sweet as it quickly filled him and explored his insides. Sasha could hear Squish chuckling at him as the lewd kiss continued and as he felt his teeth lengthening into fangs he glanced over at the tank and found changes not only happening to him.

Squish had started to push up over the tank and as he did his body lengthened and grew, becoming bigger by the second as Athear continued to kiss him. A purple glow began to radiate from the serpentine slits as the mutating corn snake's head poked up and popped the lid of his tank, though as he felt something push against his bare backside he was reminded of his own predicament. When Athear pulled back Sasha felt his own tongue push out and as it slid across his lips he felt that it had become forked as well, tasting the air as the naga moved on and began to push into him from another direction. When the changing human gasped he could feel the sizable cock start to slide into him, spreading him open as his gaze was directed downwards.

Sasha's eyes widened in both awe and pleasure as he saw that his skin was starting to darken considerably and a patch of purple scales were forming over his groin. The coils had pulled away enough to show that his own maleness was starting to push out against the gooey body of the other man, feeling his nails sharpening into claws as he reached down to grab onto it. When more of his body was revealed he saw that not only had his legs also gotten patches of scales and toe claws but had also thickened considerably with new muscle. He looked... hot, and as Athear pushed deeper into him the muscle growth suffused into his stomach and back as he saw his thin frame bulking out around his hips and up his sides.

"You're becoming quite the snake charmer," Athear huffed, snickering slightly as he could see the human marveling at his own body while also basking in the euphoria that came from being plowed into by the naga slithering around him. "Soon you'll be the envy of snakes and humans alike; not only will you have the power to uplift snakes like Squish but also pass on your traits to others that share the same passions as you. For now just bask in the companionship that you've earned..."

Before Sasha could ask what that meant he saw a head poke between the coils of the goo naga, his fangs revealed as his jaw dropped slightly in shock at the rather large snake head looking up at him. "You took such good care of me," Squish said with a grin on his serpentine muzzle as Sasha saw the goo being pumped in through the cock inside him filling out his pecs. "Allow me to return the favor, my friend."

It all felt like a fever dream to Sasha as he could feel scales spreading down his back, hissing in pure pleasure as Squish quickly enveloped his member and began to bob up and down on his shaft. The former corn snake was at least eight feel long at this point and as he was thrust into by the goo naga he found the throat of the snake to be well adept at swallowing his maleness. As his pupils turned to slits the snake-human hybrid's head rolled back as he was pleasured, the bliss spreading through his body just like his thickening muscles as his form quivered in the coils of his two serpentine lovers. Even the sounds of pounding that were coming from Jake's room didn't bother him as he sank in the warm embrace of both creatures, his muscular body stretching as the two caused his transformed hips to rock back and forth...

***********

Matt remained in his room like he did most days, the prog rock music blasting through his earphones as he sat at his desk and continued to draw in his sketchbook. After the blow-up that happened between his friends he wanted nothing more than to just tune out the rest of the world and any other potential conflicts, especially since he could feel the demon within stirring at all the negative energy. Though he had told hte others before about what was inside of him the others didn't understand, but he didn't blame them since he knew that they couldn't. It was hard for him to express anything that they understood... and sometimes it made him feel like the outcast of the group as he added a few black tendrils to the shadow creature that he had drawn.

It was one that would be added to the book of demons and other entities that were in his book, and as he finished up and clenched his cramped hand he found himself sighing. He was feeling particularly agitated this day and as he continued to try and dwell on the angst in his system he felt the creature stirring even more. It was the most he had ever felt such a thing and as he closed his sketchbook he went over in order to turn up the music even more. With nowhere else to go all Matt could do was continue to remain in his room and brood while hoping that there weren't any more problems with his friends as he went to his bed.

As he laid there Matt began to squirm slightly as he could feel a heat rising within him, his inner spirit growing even more restless then before. It was something that he hadn't experienced before and as he felt himself starting to sweat he found himself starting to pant. "The beast has been awakened..." Matt muttered to himself as he found himself taking off his shirt.

The room darkened around the man as he started to groan from the sensations that were suffusing through his system, Matt's eyes widening as he could see the shadows start to manifest into the tentacles just like he had imagined. Though he was naturally frightened to see such powerful eldritch entities starting to form around him there was a part of him that was exhilarated. All those times of people telling him that he was crazy or just being goofy would finally be seen as he let out a soft moan. Even though he knew that something was going on and that the sensation he was experiencing in his chest was growing more and more powerful.

"That's it, release yourself..." a voice whisper into his ear, causing him to gasp even more. It was the first time that the presence he knew dwelled within him had ever spoken, though as he tried to sit up he felt something coil around his arms and pull him back down. When he managed to look back down his body squirmed even more as he saw that fleshy tentacles had emerged from the shadows and wrapped around him!

"Relax, this is just your inner self manifesting," the voice said in a hushed tone, almost whispering in his ear as he began to see the flesh of his arms starting to turn red where the tentacles were pressed against them. "You know that inner strength is important, that you need to have stalwart determination just like when you forge a friendship with others."

Though the voice was talking to him Matt was more focused on the fact that the tentacles that were sliding around his body had become more amorous in nature, his body quivering as his legs got the same treatment as his arms. As the muscles on his limbs thickened he looked down to see that his quivering feet were starting to shift and change, the toenails growing just like his fingernails as they turned black and started to sharpen. Between that and the red skin that his flesh was shifting to it made his arms and legs look absolutely demonic. This was the creature that had dwelled within his soul for so long, and as he felt his feet forming into fangs he found that a smile starting to form on his face.

But that didn't last too long as he suddenly found something had started to push past his lips, his eyes widening as a tentacle that had slithered around his throat had brushed up against his cheek before sliding into his mouth. The sensation was unlike anything he had ever experienced before, like he was sucking on his own cock while another smaller one curled up his shaft and started to stroke his member. His entire body was growing bigger and as his pectorals thickened and grew into something that belonged more like Jake, though the voice inside his head whispered to him that his body was reflecting his own dark soul.

Matt was letting out muffled groans from the tentacle that had slid into him, his head tipping back as it continued to stretch out his jaws and slide past his new fangs and sharper teeth. As it began to push into his throat and continued to give him the sensation of sucking cock there was another feeling of pleasure that was coursing through his body from between his legs. With his hips pushing up already from the stimulation begin given his body it allowed a much larger one to start to push into his rear, which had already gotten a bulge forming just above it. Even though he couldn't see it Matt knew in the back of his mind that he was starting to grow a tail.

As a few strands of light blue hair were flitting past his eyes the somewhat lanky, thin man was quickly filling out, and as it did it grew with a sense of powerful masculinity as well as the demonic flesh that was covering him. It made him feel... powerful, and the more that it filled his body the more he began to embrace the inner demon that was inside. While he had always thought of himself as the loner that had to battle this demon in order to keep it from overwhelming him as the tentacles slithered up his flat stomach that was starting to become more defined he found that he had been confused. This wasn't a corruption to be dispelled, this was an inner strength that needed to be embraced, a powerful force as the tentacle within his swelling glutes were spreading out as they pushed deeper into him.

"That's right," the voice said once more as the tentacles were completely stroking and pleasuring his body. "You see now how good it feels to embrace the strength of will that is inside of you, the same type of willpower that can be gained by trusting in hours. Do you believe now that it was foolish to resist such help just so that you could wallow in your own self-misery?"

There was another groan that came from Matt as the tentacle that had been sliding in and out of his throat pulled out of him completely, wrapping around the horns that had groan out of his head that parted the long, light blue hair that had grown out of the black that he had. It wasn't the only place that he had gotten hair though and as another tentacle that had slid against the patch of fur between his thighs the tip stroked against his jawline. A beard of similar hair had grown out there and framed the new squared jaw that he had gained as he huffed and panted. The demonic energy he thought was filling him from the tentacles was actually coming from within as he realized that he wasn't possessed by some sort of demon...

...he was the demon.

The revelation was something that had caused his entire body to tremble, which was aided by the tentacle that was starting to push out of his newly defined washboard abs. It had caused the bright red flesh to bulge out and as it pushed in even deeper he found his mind thinking of new ways to use this ability. No longer did he have to keep all this lust and desire that he had mistaken as angst inside anymore, whatever connection he had made to the infernal realm had given him access to these squirming, slimy tentacles as the shadow of a creature had started to form in his room. By the time he realized that there was another presence in the room he had already reached orgasm, his deeper voice crying out in pure esctasy as every muscle of his athletic physique clenched and tensed.

"Looks like the new demon is enjoying himself quite a bit," the shadowy figure said, Matt panting as he looked over to see that the figure coming into focus was an anthro deer with jet black fur.

"You..." Matt replied, feeling the tentacles that had been wrapped around his body slowly withdraw and allow her to move again. "You are the voice that was inside my head, I thought that was my inner beast."

"Nope, my name is Olavar," Olavar replied with a chuckle as he watched the man marvel at his new body. "Although you were certainly responsible for my being here; that little ritual you did was rather sloppy, but it managed to get the job done and get us to this place."

"Us?" Matt asked.

"Yeah, since you had a few friends of your own in this place I thought that it was only fair that I did the same," Olavar explained as he sat down on the bed next to him. "You were lucky enough that we decided we should come in and help with that little squabble that you four had and teach you the true meaning of friendship or whatever. Naturally they all had... similar proclivities to you that also made our jobs a lot easier, but you'll see that soon enough."

Matt was at a loss for words at what was just explained to him, especially when Olavar reached forward and started to stroke the thick red cock that came with the rest of his body. "You are certainly not what I expected when I made such a ritual," Matt said sheepishly as the lust that had been fogging his mind even to that moment was starting to abate, though the deer was starting to stoke it up. "Do they all look like this?"

"More or less," Olavar replied as his grin grew wider, pushing Matt back on the bed before climbing on top of him. "But we still have a little time before that happens since you were the most accepting of the group. Now while my tentacles are good at what they do there is nothing compared to the real thing, which I'm more than happy to show you as we wait for my friends to finish."

Matt was not going to say no to this handsome creature, especially as he saw the jaws distending of the deer and stretching open to reveal more of the tentacles along with his unnaturally long tongue. Though he felt his breath catching in his throat he found this equally demonic creature was ready to join in his depravity. He let out a loud groan that was quickly muffled by the mutated tongue pushing into his mouth while he felt the cervine creature spread his legs and already push the tip of his cock inside of him. This time there was a very real shaft that was spreading him open as Olavar pushed his hips forward, showing him what it truly meant to be a demon of pleasure...

************

The common room of the dorm had been quiet for quite some time after it had seen the blowout between the four humans, but once more the silence was ended by the doors that opened all at once. The creatures that came out from the rooms were not the same as those that had gone inside and as they all looked at each other sheepishly it was clear that the four muscled men were sheepishly grinning at one another at having succumbed to the will of the nexus lords. "I see that we have all learned our lesson," Sasha said, his voice hissing slightly as Squish curled around the bronzed skin of his muscular form, turning around in slight surprise as he heard the heavy padding of the centaur-like chimeral creature behind him. "Holy cow Jake, is that really you?"

"Yeah, they gave me a pretty good workout," Jake replied as he flexed his heavily muscled biceps, black scales glinting in the light that caused Sasha to glance at him while his forked tongue flicked out of his mouth. "Looks like you all got the same treatment."

"Mine helped me with my computer," Brian said with a chuckle as he traced his fingers down the lines of circuitry that glinted in the light as he looked back at Matt. "I see that yours helped you with your inner demons."

"He helped me with a lot more than that," Matt replied with a chuckle, his muscular physique moving with a swagger of confidence as he moved over towards Brian and traced down his chest. "They also told me to appreciate my friends, and I think that's something that I want to do right now. Perhaps my fellow demon here will indulge me..."

Brian just smiled as he nodded his head, the two demons leaning forward and kissing each other as their naked bodies pressed together. Both Sasha and Jake gave each other a smirk as the two men began to make out, their own cocks growing hard as the snake hybrid let his pet slither back into his room so that he could have some time with his friends to make up for their past grievances. "Where do you think you're going little snake?" Jake said with a growl as Sasha suddenly felt a pair of forepaws lift him up with surprising strength. "I hear that your kind are rather stretchy, I wonder how true it is."

"Where did you hear that snakes are ah!" The words of Sasha were cut short as Jake sat back on his hind legs and used his forelimbs to guide the bare ass of the other man onto his huge cock. With all of them naked the chimera gave them a leering smirk at seeing he was the biggest, only to let out a slight gasp as he felt the tail of the snake man wrap around the base of his shaft and give it a squeeze. "You really think that's oging to fit?"

"Only one way to find out," Jake chuckled as he began to push the tip of his cock between those scaly butt cheeks, glancing up to see the other two men stopping their make-out session in order to look at them. "Hey, why don't you two demons come on over, we can get some real quality time together with this one."

"I wouldn't mind pushing my cock between those fangs," Brian replied with a smirk as he went over to the exposed man, stroking Sasha's erection even as he was sliding down the throbbing shaft of the one behind him.

"I wouldn't mind trying something a little different," Matt said as he went over to Sasha, only to shift past him and push over Jake. With his forelimbs and arms focused on guiding the one being impaled on his cock he didn't have much to stop him, causing him to let out a roar in shock as he was flipped not only onto his side but all the way onto his back. The entire time the forelimbs continued to keep the squirming snake man within his grasp, keeping him on his cock while the scaly body of Sasha pressed against the thick underbelly of the one bheind him. "A big boy like you, I think that you're going to enjoy having those cheeks spread while you're in the middle."

Jake let out a growl and Sasha hissed in a chuckle as Brian moved to stroke the chests of both men that were on the floor. "Wow, look at Matt go," Brian said as he saw the four pairs of eyes staring up at him. "I like this look on the two of you though, and with two mouths it's double the pleasure."

"I'm so glad that you guys are putting me in the middle of this group bonding experience," Jake joked, only for Brian to take advantage of his open muzzle to stick his cock inside of it.

"Ohhh, that muzzle is definitely something," Brian moaned as Matt brought up his fingers and the shadows pooled around them, watching as tentacles emerged from them and spread Jake's hind legs apart before he rubbed his own member against the scaly backside of the bigger man. "Looks like you have learned a few new tricks with that new body of yours." Matt just smirked back before taking his large red cock and plunging it into the stretched cheeks of the huge man.

As the two of them spitroasted the creature the one that was on top of him continued to wiggle about, his body stretched around the heavy cock that was inside of him. With his taut stomach getting bulged out from being fully inserted the demon that had taken advantage of their situation leaned in and stroked his own member with those clawed hands of his. It didn't take long that at the same time he was pushing inside of Jake that he manged to curl his body and start to suck on the thick cock of the snake man.

"I thought... I was the only one... that was flexible," Sasha gasped as he looked up at Brian, giving him a smile as his long hair fell around his face. "What do you say, we're all forgiven?"

"Definitely," Brian replied with a chuckle as he bulged out the scaly throat of Jake beneath him. "Now I think it's time for us all to grow together in our newfound powers... after I get a chance to use that mouth of yours too..."
