Iron Stag (3/8)
#3 of Iron Stag
The parasite continues the assimilation process for Gambit, making sure to take his time to not spook the canine. But as he makes the canine more like him the parasite is also starting to catch things from the personality of the deer. Had all that time being alone, slowly dying in a crater, weakened the alien? Either way it didn't matter to the parasite as his focus was fixated on his next target.

When Gambit returned home, he saw that he wasn't the only one still up as he saw the german shepherd watching a movie on their television. "So how did your date with Timber go?" the male teased, causing the malamute to give him a mocking laugh in return. "Did you get all the way to third base?"
"Settle down," Gambit replied as he put the remaining pizza in the refrigerator. "It was good to see him again actually, whenever he gets obsessed with that Iron Stag run he becomes a ghost for like three months. Plus, he was actually eating pizza with me instead of watching me eat with longing in his eyes."
"I'd be surprised if he wasn't back out in the park running all those calories off." Askim joked as he turned back to his movie. "Is he at least ripped? He becomes quite the eye candy with all the preparation he does for that run."
Just as the malamute was about to respond there was a moment of pause as his thoughts went back to the kitchen and the sight of naked deer he saw there. "Uh... yeah," Gambit managed to reply, snapping himself out of it when he realized that it would look odd to hesitate like that. "I'm sure you would know better than me, but he did come out in uh, a towel to answer the door."
"A towel?" Askim replied. "Lucky. Next time invite me too alright?"
Gambit just rolled his eyes and said he was going to bed. Already he was up way later then he had originally intended; with work coming early and a number of important meetings he knew that he was going to take in a lot of caffeine tomorrow. But it was worth it to see his friend again, especially with how good he looked with all that training as the german shepherd suggested. Even though he had never really been interested in the deer there was nothing wrong with appreciating the male's hard work.
Once he had done his usual nightly routine Gambit settled into bed, feeling all the food that he had eaten gurgling in his stomach as he began to settle into sleep. As he closed his eyes his thoughts kept turning back to one image, the naked deer burned into his mind. It was almost surreal that even though he had never seen Timber in the nude before it wasn't the first time he had ever seen another naked guy, but it had never lingered in his mind like this before. Despite this he still managed to find the means to close his eyes long enough and ignore the image of the cervine long enough to drift off.
When Gambit opened his eyes again he found himself back in Timber's basement, the game that they had been playing still on the television screen as he looked around. Everything had a surreal feel to it and the canine quickly realized that he was in some sort of dream. It was unlike anything that he had ever experienced before, everything still feeling fairly real as he looked at the pizza boxes. When he attempted to play on the game though it didn't start, and when he opened the pizza boxes he found them empty.
It seemed like everything was pointing for him to go upstairs, the door bathed in light that made it impossible for him to see what was beyond it. "Well this is a strange reaction to going to bed filled with junk food," the malamute said to himself as he slowly began to walk up the stairs, watching as the light grew even wider. "Wonder what's up there... I mean, it's a dream, so it could be anything I guess. Could be a unicorn with a birthday cake for all I know."
Even though he knew that it was just a dream there was still a strange sense of nervousness about going on the other side of the door. Part of him wondered if this was such a good idea, but it didn't appear that anything was going to happen down there in the basement and he didn't know how to awaken himself from such a dream. So he continued to make his way up towards the top of the stairs, and the closer that he got the brighter the light was. Finally he found himself walking through the doorframe, the whiteness blinding him for a second before he got to the other side.
Once he was able to see again he found that he was in Timber's kitchen, which was a little strange considering that was where the stairs led anyway. What did cause him to pause was that Timber was there as well just like the last time he had seen him there, except that instead of wearing only a towel he was wearing nothing at all. "Hey there Gambit," the naked deer said with his usual grin, as though oblivious to the fact he was showing everything off. "Was there something wrong with the pizza?"
"No... the pizza was fine," the canine replied instinctively, though as he found himself still staring at the other male he couldn't help but shake his head. "Wait a second, I'm in a dream, why am I responding to a naked dream Timber's questions?" Gambit moved forward and continued to look at the deer as he went about cleaning the area, smiling at the malamute every time he passed. "I don't get it, what does seeing you here in my dream have to do with anything?"
"I don't think I'm quite the one to tell you that," the deer replied, turning from the dishes that he was putting away before going up to the perplexed male and putting his hands on his shoulders. "Perhaps you are trying to tell yourself something, or figuring out what this mental image of your naked friend actually meant to you. Of course it's up to you in order to figure out what this awakening is."
Gambit put his head down and scratched his head in confusion, not seeing the smirk that formed on Timber's muzzle or that his eyes had turned a solid black for a few seconds before reverting to normal when the canine looked back up. "I just can't bring myself to believe that I have feelings like that for him," the malamute said as he shook his head. "Plus I know that he likes guys, but how do I know that he would even want me? He's one of my best friends, I don't know if I want to risk that just to have something carnal come out of it that ruins the whole thing... not to mention the only thing that I've done things like that with is girls."
For a brief second the deer seems to have a sour look on his muzzle before he returned to his happy demeanor. "The fact that you're already dreaming about me naked sort of says that you're at the very least curious about the idea," Timber practically purred as he began to approach the malamute, ramping up the sexual tension between the two. "Besides, if you really weren't sure then why would you be here with your clothes off as well?"
It took the canine a few seconds to realize what the cervine was talking about before he looked down and saw he was not only completely naked but also hard as a rock between his legs. He also gathered at that moment that Timber was the same way, the sensitive flesh of the two members close enough together that the head of Gambit's cock was practically pressed against the soft fur of the deer's belly. It was all incredibly erotic, and the more he stood there the more the malamute could feel his own furry chest rising up and down. It was all so strange, yet as they continued to drift closer to one another it began to feel... comfortable, like it was completely normal to be pressed up against his best friend in his kitchen.
Timber seemed to sense that momentary slip in the defenses of the malamute and wrapped his arms around Gambit's waist, pressing their bodies tight against one another with their muzzles only a few inches apart from one another. "Am I really doing this?" Gambit asked as the smile on Timber's face widened. "I know it's a dream, but..."
"But there is nothing for you to worry about then," Timber finished, letting his words filter into the subconscious of the sleeping male as he continued to slowly bring his muzzle towards Gambit while the canine was doing the same. "Just let yourself go... you can trust me..."
It was clear that the resistance that Gambit had to such an idea was quickly eroding away, the false lure of a safe space being in the dream, along with it being his friend, contributing to his openness. Timber watched as Gambit slowly closed his eyes and finally came the rest of the distance, their muzzles meeting in a small kiss that quickly turned into something deeper. As soon as their lips touched the last bits of resistance melted away, Timber feeling the canine's arms and hands pressing against his back. They continued to kiss for a bit while their bodies grinded up against one another that stimulated their trapped erections against each other.
As Gambit felt the tongue of the deer push its way into his mouth it feel heavenly, it made him wonder why he hadn't done anything like this before. He was also surprised at how long Timber's tongue really was, feeling it stretch and explore every part of his maw until he swore he could feel it tickle against the back of his throat. When he opened his eyes again it was when the deer pulled away, seeing the last glimpse of his tongue receding back before his hands shifted up his body. The malamute couldn't help but shiver in pleasure as those digits ran up his sides before going to his shoulders, then gently squeezing the muscles there as Gambit felt himself get lowered down onto his knees.
The malamute could feel his heart start to race as he realized what his friend prompted him to do next, and even in the dream world he wasn't sure that he was ready for such a thing. He found himself swallowing hard as he looked down, but what he saw suddenly caused his eyes to widen in shock. The normal pink, fleshy thing that he had felt throbbing against his abs for the longest time was gone, replaced with something shiny and black that was tapered at the tip. As he let out a small yelp he felt Timber's hands let go of him and the deer looked shocked himself.
In the next instant Gambit bolted upright in his bed, surrounded by darkness as he panted heavily trying to regain his composure. When he looked around in the shadows he could see the normal décor that was his bedroom which helped him steady himself. "Definitely no more pizza right before bed," he said to himself as he patted his stomach, though as he did his gaze drifted further down to see the sizable tent in his sheets. "I mean, it wasn't such a bad dream after all until the end..."
Meanwhile, the alien Timber cursed himself as he sat in the deer's bed, having just ended the connection with the other male after accidently letting himself slip and showing himself like that. He knew that he wouldn't be able to physically corrupt the other male in that state anyway... and the parasite blamed it all on the host that he had assimilated. Their merging has caused a number of complications, and it appeared that he had mistaken just how assertive their personalities could be. Of course eventually such patterns would no longer be needed, and when he had sufficiently assimilated the world he wouldn't need Timber or any other creature's personality in that regard.
As the alien continued to think angrily about his lack of progress he suddenly heard Timber's phone ring, when he down he saw it was the phone number of Gambit and he quickly picked it up. "Hey there Gambit," the alien said, knowing that it wouldn't be uncommon for Timber to be up around this time. "What's up? You usually don't really call me this early."
"Yeah, sorry about that Timber," the voice on the other end of the line apologized. "Perhaps you could meet me for breakfast before I have to go to work? Something... strange happened and I don't think I'm going to be able to get it out of my mind unless I talk to you."
"I certainly think that I can arrange something like that," the alien replied with a smirk on his muzzle. "I don't need to go into work myself until later so just name the place and I'll meet you there. Perhaps that coffee shop we visited a couple times before your shift changed."
Gambit agreed and hung up the phone, Timber doing the same a few moments later before getting off his bed. From the deer's memories of the place, which he used to specifically try and reinforce that he was who he was pretending to be, it was only a twenty minute walk from his house. The parasitic creature realized that he would need to change however as he stopped in the mirror and looked at his flawless, muscular form shining underneath his black latex alien skin. Once more Timber's personality traits began to bleed through as he couldn't help admiring himself, even while he began the process of turning rubber into fur as he transformed back into his camouflaged form.
Once he managed to tear his gaze away from his own reflection the alien creature dressed up in workout clothes, something that Gambit would definitely be expecting at this point with the Iron Stag coming up. The only problem he ran into was that once more his mutated dick that he had been hoping to leave unaltered nearly hung beneath the end of the shorts leg. He sighed and shrank it down back to Timber's normal size and shape, still leaving a sizable bulge in front of his pants for his new admirer to look at. As he left the house he already began to wonder what he would look like as a canine...
**************************************
Despite the early morning hours the café that Timber had picked for their meeting was quite full of those looking to get their caffeine fix before work. For privacy the canine had picked a booth near the back near the bathroom, since most people were grab and go it was the place where their conversation would receive the least attention. The malamute felt his stomach flipping as he thought about what he was about say to his friend when he arrived while staring down at the coffee he had ordered. Part of him was shouting to abort the whole thing and not even say anything about the dream he had.
Gambit was so engrossed in his thoughts he hadn't even seen or heard Timber come up to the booth until he heard his friend's voice call out to him. When he turned to look at his friend his gaze immediately went to the sizable bulge in the front of his running shorts, which caused the canine to become even more nervous as he heard Timber ask if he was alright. "Yeah, no, I'm good..." Gambit stammered slightly as Timber sat in the booth opposite him.
"You didn't really sound all that great when we talked on the phone," Timber accused after taking a sip of his own coffee that he had ordered at the counter before coming over to the booth. "It kind of felt like you had just seen a ghost or something in your house. Did Askim do something again?"
"No no, Askim is fine as usual," Gambit replied, feeling himself grow flush with embarrassment at not being able to get the words out he wanted too. "Listen, this is kind of hard to say, but after I left your house and went to bed I had... a dream. This dream was definitely something that I had never experienced before and it involved you too, which is why I wanted to invite you here."
"Oh?" Timber asked, leaning back as the alien feigned surprise at the statement. "Nothing bad I hope. If it was based on the game we played then I imagine it had something to do with zombies or the like."
Gambit just shook his head and saw Timber's face grow more serious at his apparent distress. "It was... the dream was about you in your kitchen, when your towel accidently slipped off and I saw you naked like that," the malamute shook his head at that as even speaking about it recalled the incident vividly in his mind. "You aren't the first male that I've seen naked before, heck even Askim has walked from our bathroom to his room with nothing but a smile on his face, but for some reason this really just seems to have stuck in my head."
The alien creature couldn't help but smile a little at that as he knew that it was truer than Gambit realized as the canine's brain continued to be slowly assimilated by him. "So you dreamt of me naked because you saw me naked?" Timber asked, leaning in a little closer as Gambit nodded. "Was it just you watching me like in those cheesy movies or did we actually... do stuff? Like, you know, stuff one might do when one is naked."
Though the alien Timber knew the answer to this question he wasn't going to let himself slip up again, once more relying heavily on the mannerisms of the deer to continue to lull the malamute into a false sense of security. Even though it took a few minutes eventually Gambit told him everything, from being in the basement and realizing it was a dream to the kiss they shared right before it was about to go to something more. When the thought of what Gambit saw after that came into the canine's mind Timber used his limited connectivity to his brain to scrub that image out and leave him with the kiss as the last part of the dream. It seemed to work, for a moment the parasite could see the malamute tense up before he visibly relaxed again with the help of a small prompt that came from the alien creature.
"I never really thought about going... that way before, you know," Gambit admitted once he had finished telling his tale, sighing and slumping down into the seat. "I knew since you liked guys you might have a better handle on the situation that I'm going through, maybe even point me in the right direction of where to go next. I don't think I'm ready to be lubed up and on all fours just yet, but it was so vivid and I have to admit that it...well, you know..."
"Felt nice?" Timber finished, watching with a grin as the malamute sank even further into the booth. "You don't have to be ashamed of it, there is such a thing as liking guys and girls you know. Perhaps it just took the right look to bring such thoughts to the surface, maybe a certain piece of eye candy?"
"I should have known you would be enjoying this," Gambit replied with a groan, though the smile on his lips betrayed the annoyance he was trying to portray. "I'm not saying that I'm not open to the prospect, but I also don't want to ruin what we have because of some strange sex dream I had."
"Perhaps we can find a means to help see what you feel," Timber stated, the malamute looking up once more in question as Timber got up from his seat and gestured for Gambit to go further into the booth he had been sitting on. "Go on, I won't bite."
The level of panic that rose in the canine was almost palpable as he looked around at the other patrons of the café, stating that they're going to get caught fooling around like that in a booth. Timber just shook his head and stated that it wasn't going to be much, just a little something to see if the feelings were real or if it was just some sort of pent up horny feelings he had. Though it was clear that Gambit wasn't too sure about the idea he just nodded and slid over, the alien taking note that he already had a bit of a tent in his pants. Once the canine was sufficiently over the alien slid into the booth and nearly pushed the other male until he was up against the wall.
With Gambit concentrating on the others to see if they were possibly going to get called out, it gave the alien deer a chance to really reinforce the sensations he started to impliment in his dream. Knowing that the malamute wasn't completely on board he started just by rubbing a hand against the furred stomach of the other male while whispering into his ear if he liked that. Timber could see the pleasure on Gambit's face as he swallowed hard and nodded, the fabric around his groin continuing to stretch as the deer slid further up and tweaked a nipple that nearly caused the canine to jump out of his seat.
Timber leaned in closer and told Gambit to just relax, but as he did so he took the time to make the connection stronger in the canine as his tongue once more turned a shiny black. With the malamute focused on the pleasure of the fingers curling into his waistband he didn't even feel the pressure of the alien appendage once more slithering into his ear canal. This time the area had already been completely assimilated and allowed for easy access as Gambit's ear hole stretched to accommodate the invading tongue until the tip touched his brain.
Gambit's jaw nearly hit the table as the alien creature pushed itself into his mind, his pupils dilating before they rolled up completely into his head from the sheer pleasure that he thought was coming from his groin. He had never experienced anything like it and it was all seemingly coming from a guy groping his junk though his pants... and if this is what it was like with a simple reach around in a coffee shop he could only imagine what it would be like in the bed. Those were images that the alien was more than keen to supply him with as he saw that thought enter his new potential host's head, filling his mind with lewd images of the deer and malamute in bed together.
As the seconds ticked by the alien knew that he was reaching the limit with how far he could push the canine this session, pulling back his tongue out of Gambit's head before he patted him on his groin. "It appears you may like this more then you originally expected," Timber said as Gambit blinked and came back to his senses. "Why don't you come to my house after you're done with work and perhaps we'll see how far those feelings of yours will take you?"
"Are you sure?" Gambit replied, his anxiety coming back once more as the presence of the alien left his mind for the time being. "I mean... we're friends and all, I wouldn't want to force you into anything. Plus you have the Iron Stag coming up..."
"It's because I'm a friend that I'm doing this for you," Timber replied as he held Gambit's head in his hands. "I can miss a day of training to help you figure out what these feelings are, just come to my place tonight and if it starts getting weird we can play games again or something. But you owe it to yourself to at least try, you never know what might come next."
Though the words were genuine it nearly made the parasite gag, knowing that such sentimentality was reserved for primitive creatures that make them so easy to convert. What happened next though was a bit of a surprise as Gambit leaned forward and kissed him, causing Timber's eyes to widen slightly in surprise from the sudden show of affection. It was only for a few seconds before it was broken, but it had a willingness to it that was completely unexpected. It actually caused the parasite itself to be caught off-guard before the canine informed him that he had to go and adjusted himself before he hurriedly headed back towards the exit of the café.
Even though the parasite knew that just meant that soon Gambit would be ripe for the picking he felt himself feeling slightly conflicted, no doubt a trait picked up from his host since his species had no such qualms. Even so the parasite found himself, not guided by Timber's actions, to look at the cup of coffee that the malamute had left behind and smiled slightly to himself. But such a though was very short-lived and that smile soon turned to a smirk as he stood up and walked out of the café. Though he had more than a few looking at him as he passed by his only thoughts were on the malamute that he would be taking tonight.
