"Wishful thinking is one thing,

-Jalal Tabani
Have you ever wanted something so bad that it drives your whole existence? When obsession has overtaken the very soul of your person? When one can think of nothing other than whatever it is. We all experience these times in our lives. But it is how we deal with such situations that form the very core of what establishes our personality. It is often in our youth when these moments are seemingly the most trying. Of course, there are those few who take it...a little too far. Such is the dual nature of innocence and nativity...
Austin was a young boy who lived in the big city, one of the biggest in his home state of Minnesota. It was one of the twin cities, as the locals called it, home to some of the biggest sports clubs in the region. He was an only child in a family of 3 dogs. His father was a husky and his mother a Pomeranian. When one looked upon the album of family pictures, one could see the resemblance especially between the cub and his father. At 8-years-old the boy was very much a chip off the old block, as many of the same things his father did.
Austin was a huge fan of baseball. His whole room featured posters and pennants of the team's time-proven success. His father had taken him to many games, which was pretty easy since he actually worked in the club's front office. The older man was able to get tickets fairly easily and even got a discount on a rather frequent occasion. As such Austin had more than his fair share of merchandise and was especially proud of his autographed card collection. However, the boy didn't get to spend as much time as he might have liked with his family.
Both of his parents worked in the big city. While his father fronted the sporting industry, his mother was an executive for Coloplast. They both worked an extraordinary amount of hours with the mother working more due to the shorter nature of the baseball season. Regardless even during the offseason, he was expected to work. The mother, on the other hand, worked tirelessly making sure her contracts with hospitals were filled. It was her responsibility to make sure each and every health institution was fully stocked.
As such, the boy's parents weren't usually home especially during the core of the baseball season. It was now spring training and so the father's hours had picked up. This meant the family had to find a babysitter. They always went with the same one a recently graduated 19-year old who lived just outside of Minneapolis. The guy was a pitch-black Panther who went by the name of Samuel but his friends simply called him Sam. For whatever reason, Austin often requested Sam.
What Austin didn't know was that this was likely the last summer Sam would be able to babysit him as he had recently enrolled at the state college. While Sam was not the smartest academically, his work ethic was strong and he was able to power his way through anything. When the parents called him, he didn't have to think twice about it. Though he did inform him their relationship might have to change soon with his uncertainty about his college schedule.
Still, they were grateful and hoped he would still be able to occasionally come over, at least on the weekend. The parents decided it was best to share the information with Austin, unsure of how he would take the sudden change. His wife, of course, sent her husband to do the dirty work as she knew that her son favored him. The man head into his son's room, who was seemingly busy building a lego castle.
"Hey, bucko. We need to talk." The man crouched down onto his knees so he was more eye level with his son.
"But I'm playing with my legos...Do I have to?" The boy stopped for a moment and then looked over at his dad once he put his hand on the cub's shoulder.
"It's about Sammy." The father knew the mention of the boy's sitter would get his attention.
"What about him?" Austins' focus was now purely on his father.
"He might not be able to babysit you as much anymore."The older man hoped it wouldn't upset his son that badly.
"But, I like him! I don't want another babysitter." Austin pouted a bit as he folded his arms defensively.
"Well...he might still be able to still come on weekends. It just depends on his school." The father coaxed his son to come closer to share a hug with him.
"Oh...I guess...that's okay..." Still, he was a little disappointed that Sammy wouldn't be able to spend more time with him.
"Good, I'm glad you can accept that." He was glad that his kid didn't throw a hissy fit about it.
The man showed himself out of the room, leaving Austin to his own devices. The boy couldn't focus on his legos, he was really upset about the announcement. Immediately he began to think of how he could change it. The more he thought about it, the more upset he got before he started to cry. It wasn't a loud cry, just a sniffling one as he sat there in his own sorrow. It took a while before he got over it, going to dinner when he was called. His parents questioning him about his solemn look, but Austin brushed it off as nothing and they simply ignored the issue after that.
When bedtime rolled around, his parents tucked him in. The sadness still lingered but he wasn't crying anymore. Austin was still thinking about it and knelt to look out of his window. It was already dark inside and the moon shone brightly. He could visibly see many stars. Looking into the sky at night was one of his favorite things. The cosmos interested him greatly and he stared intently into the galaxy above. As he gazed into it a star shot across the sky, piquing his interest and instantly closed his eyes. He remembered the old adage about shooting stars...
"I wish...Sammy could be my biggest and bestest friend forever and ever!"
Upon opening his eyes, the star was gone. He was young enough to believe the wives tale but was pretty tired and thought about it no further. Tomorrow was the day Sammy was supposed to come over. He wanted nothing more than to take up so he could spend as much time with his sitter as possible. Clutching his Pikachu plush, he allowed fatigue to take over him before he rolled over and went to sleep.
When he finally awoke, Austin shot out of bed, dropping his precious Pikachu plush on the floor. He needed to take a shower, he wanted to smell good for Sammy when he arrived. So he rifled through his wardrobe and found the best things he could thought would look good for his special day. He found a light blue button-up shirt and some khakis along with his newest pair of undies. Now he just needed to take a shower and get dressed, then he would be ready. After taking the quickest shower in his life, he dashed out of the bathroom still wet. Not even bothering to dry he changed into his new clothing.
Upon arriving in the kitchen his mother looked at him and shook her head.
"Why didn't you dry yourself...again?" She chastised him over his lack of caring.
"I forgot...sorry. I was excited!" Austin sat down at one of the chairs at the central kitchen table.
"About what...?" The older woman looked at him as if expecting some grand event he had planned.
"Sammy coming over?" The cub began plowing into his cereal without much regard for manners.
She simply rolled her eyes and ignored him as he rushed through the dish. It wasn't long before he finished his meal and drowned it with some orange juice. All of a sudden there was a knock at the door. Austin's heartbeat a kilometer a minute as he bulleted towards the door.
The husky waited no time in opening the door. It slammed open to the side and standing in front of him was Samuel. Austin couldn't help himself and lurched forward before clinging on the older male.
"Well Hiya to you too, little guy." He ruffled the cubs head fur.
The teen showed himself into the building as he greeted the boy's parents with a smile and wave.
"Alright you two, have fun. Sammy, you have our numbers if you need anything. I left some money for Pizza or whatever you want to buy over the weekend. Cool with staying over a few days?" They had asked him earlier but just wanted to be sure.
"Yup, it's fine. I don't have class until the end of summer. You guys will be gone til Monday, yeah?" Austin was still clutching him to his side, seeming as clingy as ever.
"Yeah. Check-in with us every night please." The mother knelt down to hug her boy who was still hanging to Sammy.
"Come hug your mother, please." Eventually, Austin let go and did as he was asked.
"Alright, Frank Let's go. See you two, have fun." The parents showed themselves out of the house and Sammy and his charge waved to them.
Now that they were gone, Sammy and Austin were alone so the sitter shut the door behind them.
"So what do you want to do, little guy?" Sammy had an idea of what the puppy wanted but he just wanted to be sure.
"Wanna play darts?" The cub's tail began wagging behind him as he thought about it.
"Darts...? Isn't that dangerous?" The panther recalled the bar game he had played on occasion with his friends in the pool hall.
"Wait!" Austin retreated into his room and returned with two rather colorful plastic guns.
"Oh...sure." It had been ages since Sammy had played with Nerf guns but he didn't want to upset his number one fan.
The boy handed him the smaller gun which appeared to be a pistol. Sammy assumed it was already loaded. The gun was pointed towards him and he pulled the trigger. Suddenly a little orange dart projected outward as it nailed him on the forehead.
"Hahahahahahaha!" Austin broke out in laughter as he watched Sammy shoot himself.
"Ow..." Sammy felt a bit humiliated as the dart fell to the floor.
The teen felt a sharp sense of warmth come to his body, warmer the he usually was even with the prominence of his pitch-black fur.
Samuel couldn't think straight as his mind was feeling a bit foggy. His body was burning a bit and he was finding it hard to move. Austin looked at him, the teen looked like something was bothering him. The panther's clothing was starting to look tight on him but his body was softening a bit. The husky wasn't sure what just happened to him but his sitter looked different. He wasn't sure what it and looked curiously at Sammy. It took a few more moments for Sammy to come around, unsure of what he was even doing.
"Are you okay? Did it really hurt badly?" The puppy went over and looked up at the teen who seemed bigger than he recalled.
"I'm okay...? What were we doing?" It appeared to Sammy that he was over Austin's house babysitting him.
"You said you were gonna play darts with me?" Austin wasn't sure how he had forgotten about it so soon but he wasn't about to chastise him about it.
"Oh, yeah sure." The teen only briefly recalled the game after being reminded about it.
"Let's goooooo!" The husky wasted no more time on the issue and jumped behind his couch as if using it for cover.
Sammy was much slower to move. His clothing was a bit tight, he could barely lift his shoes without them tugging on his toes and paws a bit. Still, he powered through it as he didn't want to upset the boy. The panther moving across the room as much as he could finding a table, taking the single flower pot from the top and putting it to side. Once he did that, he was able to flip the table in an effort to provide himself some cover.
"On three? One...two...three." Sammy counted out as loud and waited for Austin to make the first move.
Austin didn't take long to take action. He had practiced this many times and was rather good with his rapid action Nerf gun. He knew he had 20 shots to burn compared to the 8 he had given Sammy. It was an unfair advantage that he had planned beforehand. The cub wondered how he could get the teen to show himself. The boy took a pillow off the couch and threw it to the wall. He had no idea where the teen was but it was evident he had flipped the table.
Sammy saw the pillow as it slopped down the wall and fell on the floor. The teen waited for a moment and then started to creep over towards the left side of the table. He peaked out his head and saw Austin standing up. He angled his gun so that it was targeting the kid. Firing a single shot he watched as the bullet just missed the boy. This was enough to get the cub's attention. Austin quickly turned around and fired a single blast of three bullets.
The panther watched as the little foam bullets headed right towards him. One of them bopping him right in the nose with the other two rebounding off the edge of the table. Sammy felt stupid that he hadn't landed the first shot. His body began to feel warm again as he dropped the gun as if he had been defeated. The energy was steadily rising within him and he was beginning to sweat a bit. Bit by bit...his body was beginning to steadily rise. It was hard to tell but the sudden ripping sound that was quite evident.
What was even more strange was the fact that Sammy's face looked to have lost some of the scruff around his chin. It looked softer and less mature. There was more baby fat around it. He looked...younger.
"You okay?" Austin looked at the teen trying to figure out what was going on, the fun of the moment seemingly lost.
"What happened...?Where am I?" Again Sammy forgot where he was.
The teen's vision was blurred and his mind was foggy. The cub was beginning to worry a bit about the mental state of his friend. Why was he acting like this? Normally he was so much fun.
"You're at my house? We were playing darts...?" The boy answered uncertainly of what to do next.
"I need to sit down..." The panther just plops himself on the floor with a thud, the button on his jeans popping and his shirt showing a lot of his stomach.
Looking at his friend, Austin could tell he was bigger but the real question was why? The cub approached him and looked at him closer. Even sitting down the teen was almost as big as he was now. It was a strange phenomenon. He didn't' look nearly as muscular either...
"You want something to drink or eat? Maybe that will make you feel better?" Austin wasn't used to being the one in charge but he wanted his friend's spirits to perk up sooner rather than later.
"Okay..." Sammy's body was sore and he didn't want to move even if he was supposed to be the one in charge.
The husky dropped his own gun and forgot about the game. Right now all that mattered was making his friend feel better as quickly as possible.
Austin opened the fridge and fetched his favorite juice. It was in one of those squeeze cartoons and had plastic straws attached to it. He punched the straw through the foil opening and rushed back into the living room. He could easily see Sammy over the couch, even sitting down he was a little bigger than it.
"Here you go...hope it helps?" The boy always liked his juice boxes and hoped his friend would as well.
"Thanks..." Sammy brought the little plastic straw to his maw and began sucking on it.
The husky stared at him awkwardly as he finished the little drink in seconds.
Sammy began to feel weird again. The strange sensation of burning filled through him making him feel more energetic. The aching began to turn to pain as his clothing started to rip and tear. The cub watched as the teen steadily rose bit by bit above him. Again his mind filled with fog, replacing his memories with more simple things. His former self vanishing from view. Everything he knew and loved reformed into more innocent things. High school was a distant thought now for him. All he could think about was how the kids teased him in 8th grade. God those other kids suck...he thought to himself quietly.
Sammy was glad it was behind him now...he was fervently looking forward to high school and a chance to start on a new slate. Austin was certain now that his friend had grown in front of his eyes. His clothing was torn all around him. His body is vacant of the manly features that had inhabited it only moments ago. The husky approached him slowly, even sitting down the panther was bigger than he was now.
"Sammy?" Austin stopped short of asking what happened to his friend as he didn't want to raise any sort of alarm.
"Yeah, Aus?" The feline looked over at his friend with a stupid grin as his voice cracked a bit.
Sammy no longer recalled himself as a babysitter and instead just a friend to the younger boy.
"Are you...feeling alright?" The husky ran his paw over the side of the larger male as if trying to feel for some sort of energy.
"Yeah, why?" The boy's voice cracked rather obviously as he spoke.
"Just wondering..." Austin began to worry a bit, wondering why his friend wasn't concerned about his own disposition.
Austin was getting bored. His childish nature only allowed him so much focus before it was quickly changed to something else.
"Wanna play a video game?" The boy loved his switch more than any silly game he could find on his phone.
"Sure, that sounds neat." Sammy didn't get up as his body was much too sore to move at this point and simply scooted over to where the TV was situated.
Austin looked at Sammy again and then at the cabinet where his gaming stuff was stored. He went over to it and pulled out the switch and placed it on the carpet. He knew is a favorite game was already in it so he didn't bother changing cartridges.
When the system booted up, the game automatically started. Austin had set it up for any game that was inside the console to automatically start. It was RBI Baseball 19 and it was how the boy got his baseball fix outside of going to the park and playing with his dad. The cub grabbed the two joy-cons and gave one to his now seemingly giant friend. The little controller looked ridiculous in his paws But the husky didn't care much as all he wanted to do was play. The cub picked the home run derby and proceeded to tell Sammy the rules.
"The idea of the game is to get the most home runs. You get extra points for longer home runs and if you can hit the grand slam target you get up to 3 points!" Austin's tail wagged happily at the thought of actually hitting the minuscule target.
The selection screen appeared once Austin sat down on the floor, right next to his friend. The cub felt rather small but still secure next to his big buddy. Not surprisingly the younger boy picked his favorite team, the Twins, while Sammy just went with the Tigers. The first batter was decided by coin flip and Austin allowed his friend to pick. It went tails and so that meant that Sammy went first. The panther had played before but strangely couldn't recall much of the controls of the game. Still, the controls were rather intuitive and he figured it out through some trial and error.
Each boy had 20 batters, with 5 going for one team and then 5 for the other. At the end of each round, their performance would be graded and they would be given points. After the first round, surprisingly Sammy had gotten lucky and scored 1 more run than Austin had. What he didn't know is that the boy was purposely losing because he thought it would make his friend happy. But as the 3rd round rolled around and Sammy was now up by 3 runs, he had a change of heart and started to try more actively.
As the last round approached Sammy was only up by 1 run and it was the final at-bat for Austin. The panther was good at striking him out but when the third batter came up, he hit it out of the park and evened the stakes. The boy smiled and gleamed a smile over at his friend, who was much too engrossed in the game to notice. He was down to his last two batters and he was a little nervous. He didn't want to go to overtime because it meant the better batters would rotate back into the lineup. The husky prepared as the other boy threw another pitch.
The fourth batter was struck out and Austin was pretty upset about it. However, he knew he had one final chance to make a difference. The cub decided to aim for the grand slam target. It was something he had practiced before. He picked Nelson Cruz who was the best slugger the team had and got ready for the pitch. The ball rolled in and the first throw was a strike. At this point, the boy was agitated as his childish distaste of failure got the better of him. The second ball bulleted in as he hit it but it ended up being a foul. He had one more chance and he knew he had to make it count.
Sammy was equally nervous and surprised he was doing so well. He had gotten used to the controls over the last 30 minutes of playing the game. The panther gritted his lips and prepared for his last pitch, hopefully scoring one last strike and extending the game to overtime. He sent it forward with a quick rotation of the joystick as it left his pitcher's hand, heading towards home plate. Austin watched it with interest as it neared Cruz and went for the hit. The bat made a cracking noise and split in half as the ball soared away.
Up and up it went directly down center field. The husky got up on his feet and the panther watched in horror as the white spot on the screen careened towards the grand slam target. It struck the target right at the bottom and while it didn't go in the hole, just hitting it was enough to send colorful ribbons and streamers rolling across the screen. Austin roared in happiness as the screen lit up with bright yellow letters "Congratulations GRAND SLAMMER!" It was over and the younger cub, unsurprisingly, had come out on top.
Sammy watched as the celebration occurred. It was beyond over the top as the whole of the Twins bullpen poured onto the screen and cheered as if they had won the World Series. The teen began to feel silly that he'd lost to the boy. It made him feel a bit saddened as the familiar sensation of weakness and burning began to course through his veins. His muscles began to tense again as his body started to stretch even more. Closing his eyes to deal with the pain as it wrecked his body.
Austin looked over at his friend who seemed to be in pain again. Suddenly sadness took over him as he felt responsible. Yet again his friend's form was steadily growing larger. His form taking on a more soft look despite his overall shape increasing. Some muscles disappearing and baby fat taking its place. The cub watched as his friend changed in front of him and it enamored him, beginning to think of what could be causing it.
Then it occurred to him...hadn't he made a wish? He looked over at his friend and couldn't remember exactly what he wished for but something was definitely happening to Sammy. He couldn't be sure but began to think maybe his wish was twisted in some weird way. Austin began to look closer at his friend. He looked younger but he couldn't be certain due to his size. As the larger boy came back around, it became more apparent that he might be right.
Sammy's sense of grogginess began to dissipate. His mind was still foggy unsure of where he was or what he was doing. Looking around the house reminded him that he was at Austin's. In his forgetfulness, he hadn't forgotten about the other cub.
"Austin...?" The boy's voice had an audibly higher tone for such a large boy.
"Are you okay? Do you want something to drink or something?" The husky was shocked when he heard Sammy spoke.
"Yeah, thanks for having me over. I can't wait for the sleepover!" Sammy remembered really liking the other boy.
"Sleepover? Oh right!" Austin decided to play along since he didn't want to screw up the other boy's mind any further.
The bigger boy tried to stand up and had a little difficulty as he tried to do so. His muscles were both tired and sore but he managed to do it with a little bit of effort.
As he did so he hit his head on the ceiling.
"Ow..." Sammy didn't seem to realize how big he had gotten and rubbed his head a bit.
Austin stared at him a bit, now fully realizing just how big his friend had got. The cub looked up at the seemingly huge boy. He could see the boys sheath and balls. They seemed similar to his own except bigger. He had always thought that older boys had pubic fur, at least that what his father had told him.
"Uh...maybe we should get you outside...?" Austin wasn't entirely sure of what else to do.
The cub reached out and tried to take the larger boy's hand, which was much larger than his own, and tugged at him to get him outside as quickly as possible.
Sammy lumbered a bit before moving quite slowly. For every two or three steps, the smaller boy took, he only had to take one. Eventually, they made it to the door. The panther had to lean down to fit underneath it. As he did so his but rubbed against the upper part of the wooden frame of the exit. Austin overheard a cracking and then suddenly crumbling as his friend tried to force himself through the door. It was no good though, he was much too big and the top of the fixture was giving way.
When Sammy managed to get free, his body lunged forward from suddenly being released and he fell onto his knees. Tears started to come to his eyes as the boy had scraped his knee. Austin watched as his friend broke down and immediately began to feel sad.
"You okay, buddy?" The husky walked over to him and tried to pet and pat at him to put him at ease.
The panther felt his friend touched him and it made him feel more at ease. Though he couldn't help but feel stupid about tripping over himself.
Sammy felt as the familiar sense of weakness and energy-filled through him. This time he began to feel warm and was still unable to move. Austin watched as his friend's body began to stretch again. The boy's legs seemingly pushing him away from the house as he enlarged further. Whatever was left ripped entirely off him at this point. It didn't take long before the small spurt of growth seemed to die down. The much larger cub grumbled as he tried to recover. His muscles were achy again and he was having difficulty moving.
It was different this time though. The energy within Sam's body was starting to recover much faster. He didn't feel nearly as lethargic and his head was finally clearing up.
"Austin!" The boy sat up in a hurry as he leaned over to hug his friend.
This sudden show of affection caught off guard. Austin was pulled in rather effortlessly and the smaller cub found it rather hard to move. The husky couldn't help but hug his friend back enjoying the sudden warm embrace.
It was a few moments before the smaller boy was finally released. Austin pulled away looking up at his friend again. The thought occurring to him again of the wish he had made the previous night. Then it occurred to him, there was a way he could know for certain.
"How old are you?..." Austin felt silly for asking but it was the only he could know for sure.
"11...it was just my birthday. You were there. Did you already forget?" Sammy picked up the smaller boy as if he were a toy.
The older cub had no recollection of his older self and only remembered being over at his best friends for the weekend. The answer made Austin feel a bit warmer inside and the concern of Sammy going away seemed to have washed away all at once.
"Come on, let me help you sit back up." Austin helped his friend sit back up with his back towards the wall of the house.
"Thanks" Sammy reached in to hug his friend as he was pulled off the ground with very little effort.
Now under Sammy's control, Austin very much felt like a toy. The cub struggled a bit before his friend released him from his grasp and the huskies body The smaller boy got comfortable in the larger cubs lab, crossing his legs Indian style. The older boy began coaxing the younger one's head fur and ruffled his hair a bit. It made the huskie feel more comfortable with his position and he tried wrapping his legs around the larger male, but it didn't work very well.
"I'm bored...want to do something fun?" For the first time in a while, Sammy wanted to get up and spread his legs as he was feeling rather antsy
Sammy lifted the smaller boy and put him on the floor. Slowly but surely he stood up, wobbling a bit as he did so. It took him a few moments to stand up, having to use the house to prop himself up as he did. Looking up Austin saw that the older boy was about the size of a house. The husky stood in awe at the sheer size of his friend now. The more strange fact was that he didn't seem to realize it and considered it to be quite normal.
"Wow, you're so big..." Austin couldn't help but state the obvious.
"Mom says I had a growth spurt!" Sammy held up his arms in an effort to show off his boyishly thin muscles.
Austin smiled a bit as he watched his friend show off and then clutched to his leg, the same way he had earlier. The fur of his calf and his warm muscles were reassuring to him. Sammy reached down and patted the boy on his back. The husky's entire body shook all over as his body was almost lifted up bu the touch of his friend.
"Want to go play something?" The panther asked as he was feeling rather playful.
"Sure! How about some catch?" The husky took any opportunity he could to get some baseball in.
"Okay!" The older boy walked away from the house as his steps made a bit of a muffled sound when he walked now.
The smaller boy was caught off guard by this and had to hold on for dear life to the boy's calf in an effort to not be flung off.
Once he came to a full stop, Austin felt a bit dizzy. He hadn't even had a chance to get a ball and mitt. The husky fell down flat on his butt trying to get his composure back.
"Whoops...sorry dude! Some times I forget my own strength." Sammy turned red in the face and picked up the smaller boy before putting him on the floor.
"It's...okay." Eventually, he stood back up and immediately began to think of a replacement activity since they were now away from his house.
"So you want to play ball here?" Sammy asked having forgotten about the lack of equipment out there.
"How about hide and go seek?" Austin figure it would be much easier for him to hide than his giant friend.
"Sure! How much should I count to?" The panther asked as he knelt down to be closer to eye level with the smaller boy.
"30 sounds good." The cub began to think of where he could possibly hide in the area since it wasn't overly wooded.
Sammy closed his eyes and covered them for extra secrecy before beginning to count. Already Austin was getting excited as he beamed around looking for something to hide inside. Before long he found a hollowed-out log and wondered if he could fit inside of it.
The husky huddled himself up and got on all fours as he tried to crawl into the tight space between the hollowed out bark husk of the tree. He overheard as the other boy counted over 15 and beyond as he closed in on the target number. Austin was feeling a little nervous but had to keep quiet. The inside of the tree was damp and smelt of moss. It wasn't long before the number 30 was announced and the loud pitter-patter of Sammy's paws could be heard.
Sammy began to look around the area. It was an open field minus a few trees here and there. He could easily see the canopies as some of them were just barely above eye level for him. Wondering where his friend could be he began to look around. Starting with the obvious places like behind rocks and in a small cave, he was having no luck. After about 3 minutes of looking around, he was getting frustrated but not about to call it quits. He would find his friend no matter what, he decided.
Heading back to into the main field he stepped around, not minding his step much as his paw crunched into the same log where Austin was hiding. As the giant cub's foot settled down, his claw ripped through the back of Austin's shirt. Luckily for the smaller boy, the claw wasn't long enough to reach his own back. Sammy writhed a bit and tried to wiggle his foot free but it was stuck. Fear set into the huskies heart as he sat there awestruck, feeling a bit cramped with the giant paw literally right behind him.
Sammy wiggled again as the whole of the log seemed to move along with him but his foot showed no signs of budging. He was becoming frustrated and decided to just give up, plopping his behind on the floor causing the husk to rotate around. Austin's whole body shifted as he rotated around and suddenly landed right on top of the older cubs' foot. He was breathing pretty and recovering from being slightly stunned from the sudden jolt of movement.
As he tried to catch his breath, he couldn't help but sniff the upper part of the larger boy's foot. There was a slight smell to it but Austin couldn't help but continue to smell it since his body was more or less completely limp. His breathing eventually returned to normal he became more and more tantalized by Sammy's musk. Soon he was feeling a tingling feeling in his loins, he began to hump the large appendage as if by primal impulse.
Sammy felt sudden movement on his foot and immediately was curious as to its cause. Austin's loins were beginning to stir as he was feeling really weird down there. Each smell of the boy's foot causing him to get more and more worked up. By this point, his humping had grown more and more rapid. The sudden motions were making the older cub feel rather itchy and so he became more eager to free himself so that he could scratch whatever the cause was.
Austin was feeling rather lecherous at this point, eager to make himself feel even better. His breathing growing more rapid with each pelvic thrust into the furry foot. Before long it felt as if he was going to urinate. It mere seconds he felt an unfamiliar tension build up before warmth began to spread around his nether regions. He seemingly could no longer carry on the humping either as his body felt more tired than it otherwise should have. Sammy made one last great lurch before finally freeing his foot from the log.
A sense of pride grew within Sammy, feeling as if he had defeated the boss monster. Looking down at his foot he could see that Austin was clutching onto it, almost hugging it. His small body looked needy and the panther thought as if he may have injured him. Sammy began to feel a little bit bad as he knelt down and tried to pick up the boy with one of his paws. Upon hoisting Austin's body, and turning him around, he realized that his friend was not injured.
On the contrary, his face had a huge grin on it. Even more strange was the sign of wetting near his crotch area. Sammy couldn't be sure what it was but it certainly didn't look to be large enough to warrant pee.
"You okay?" The panther just had to ask to be sure.
"Yeah..." Austin was lost as if dazed from his own recovery from pleasure.
"Good...I thought I hurt you." Sammy picked up the boy and held him in his arms and cradled him.
Now the smaller boy was brought much closer to the older one's sheath. There was no signs of pubic fur anywhere around it, though it was definitely bigger than his own.
A light smell emanated from it and Austin was beginning to feel curious about it, wondering if he could make Sammy feel the same he had just felt only moments ago.
"Can I make you feel good?" Austin really wanted to share his affection with Sammy.
"Sure?" The panther was curious as to what the other boy had in mind.
"Okay...lay down and let me go." The husky was rather liking being in control despite being the smaller one.
Eventually, the bigger cub let him go and did as he was told. His large body took a moment a lumbered a bit before settling down into a flat position. Austin took a moment before climbing up the side of his body, feeling a bit silly the size difference.
Soon he was able to mount on top of his body. Sammy's breathing caused him to jumble a bit as Austin tried to maintain his balance on the larger cub. He had to settle on crawling since it was causing him such an issue. Austin was a little bit nervous as he neared ever closer to Sammy's torso. He could see the mound which he assumed to be the privates of his crush. Once he got closer, the familiar scent confirmed the obvious.
Sammy laughed a bit as the smaller boy moved around on his chest and down beyond his pelvis and thighs. Once he settled in, it was easier for him not to do so. As Austin reached out, he trembled a bit before finally touching his friend around his groin. He was pretty close around it and the older cub gasped the closer he got. Already the bigger boy was feeling rather strange. An alien sensation building and when Austin finally touched it, Sammy sighed ever so slightly. Austin's tail wagged ever so softly, which prevented Sammy from seeing what his friend was doing.
Austin eventually closed in his touch near the other boy's junk. Already he could see the red tip rising from his sheath and figured it meant Sammy was liking it. Still, he could smell the musk as it emanated from his crotch. The boy dug in his wet nose and took a sniff, allowing his wet nose to press just above the groin area, below the waist. The cool feeling made Sammy feel a slight chill to his crotch but nothing overly uncomfortable.
The husky began gingerly touching the actual sheath itself. Austin could feel it get a little warmer as he began to close in his grasp around the boy's crotch. Sammy was now halfway hard as his wet barbed cock shifted out of its covering. The cub figured that if he touched his crush the same way he touched himself. He began pumping a bit as Sammy's arched back a bit, thrusting into the motion ever so slightly. Already by this point, he was fully hard and eager for more attention.
Austin could tell that his friend was liking this and was eager to give him more of the same. He began pumping it into his paw, hitting against his balls and base each time Austin went downward. Sammy moaned a bit as some precum began to seep out from his tip. The older boy moaned a bit as he felt an unfamiliar feeling began to build up down below. The husky figured he must be into this if he was leaking already. Intent on more he picked up the speed of his pumping. Sammy's breathing was quickly picking up as his chest rose up and down.
Seconds later Sammy's cock spasmed before letting out a sizable amount of cum from his tip. Warmth spread all around the area as Austin let up his assault. Some of the seed had dripped onto his paw and the younger boy was a bit curious. Lifting up his paw to his maw, he licked at it a bit. The taste of it was salty and warm but he didn't find it that bad. Rather eagerly he leaned forward and began to lick at it rather feverishly.
Austin didn't take long to finish before finally lifting his head with a huge smirk on his face. The cub was immensely glad he had made his crush feel good.
"Hey, Sammy?" The smaller cub sat upright and pivoted in order to face towards his friend.
"Yeah?" Sammy muttered a bit, still in a state of sexual stupor.
"Do you want to be boyfriends?" Austin asked a question he had dreamt of asking for ages.
"Uh...sure?" The older cub wasn't sure about it but wasn't about to upset his friend.
"Really? Thank you!" The husky leaned in and hugged the giant cub as tightly as he could.
"I don't mind...you're sweet anyways." Sammy tipped up his friend's body and pulled him closer to his maw.
The two sat there for a moment sharing an awkward silence. Finally, Sammy broke the silence and shared a kiss. It was more passionate and longer than anything he'd ever shared with his parents. The husky even going as far as to explore his friend's mouth with his own tongue.
It was long awkward, drawn-out, and lasted several seconds. Soon Austin pulled away from the kiss and the look on his face was like a boy seeing his favorite celebrity for the first time. Eventually, Sammy stood up. Once his little friend joined him, the smaller cub realized he barely came up to the upper thigh of his friend. Looking up he got a good look at his crushes crotch, which was only a few centimeters away from him. However, it was now soft and showed no signs of arousal. Still, he found himself curious and couldn't help but stare a bit
"What do you wanna do now?" Sammy asked as he was feeling rather restless.
"Uh, want to play tag?" Austin was still keen on playtime even no his underwear was crusty and partially sticking to him.
"Sure, you're it!" The panther reached in and poked his friend.
Sammy took long and drawn out strides as his steps made an audible noise that continued to drown out as he walked further away. Austin began to regret having suggested tag as he was thinking there was no way he'd possibly catch his friend. Still, he wasn't about to give up and used all his boyish might to run after Sammy. Even getting on all fours in order to take full advantage of whatever functional use he had of all four of his limbs. The husky could still make out the black outline of the panther in the distance and this gave him some hope.
It took a tremendous amount of effort as the smaller boy used all of the energy he had available to catch up. Little by little, he was catching up to the other cub. Austin was getting excited about the prospect. He was already getting tired but knew now wasn't the time to take a break. Eventually, Sammy came to a complete stop allowing Austin to catch up with relative ease. The cub wondered what possibly could have stopped his friend.
"What's wrong?" Austin asked after tagging the other boy playfully.
"A waterfall?" Sammy pointed at the rather pathetic display of a rather small waterfall and a pool of water.
Austin had never seen the place before but then again he had never ventured that far from his home. Sammy was feeling a little hot so he took the initiative and jumped into the lake without delay. A huge splash of water exploded from the body of water as Sammy's body broke the surface.
"Come on, the water is great!" The panther's fur floated along the surface as he stood there idly.
The husky shrugged and decided it was safe enough to join his crush. Not wasting any time he cannonballed into the water below, causing the water to pillar all around him. Eventually, he resurfaced for air and was able to almost see into the other boy's eyes.
"Let's just laze around a bit? We'll have to go home soon won't we?" Sammy was enjoying some alone time with his best friends.
"Sure, that sounds good." Austin wasn't much for hanging around but he didn't mind trying it if his friend wanted it.
Sammy stretched out and allowed his long body to buoy along the top of the water. Austin got an idea, thinking to use the bigger cub as a makeshift raft. The husky pulled himself to the side of his friend and began climbing up to him. It took some effort but with a little pulling and a slight helping push from the giant cub. Now that he was on top of the other cub he, once again, was having difficulty gaining traction on the somewhat pudgy baby fat-filled stomach of his friend.
"That tickles..." The older boy could feel the smaller one's movement on his body.
"Sorry..." Austin once again found himself near the mount of flesh that was his friend's cock.
Soon, the husky made his way down there and began to nestle right into his friend's crotch. Austin wanted to feel Sammy's warmth against his own and set his own crotch right against his crushes larger one. Already he was feeling in the mood again as he began to hump ever so slightly against the other boy's groin. Sammy looked down and saw his friend resting against his sheath, he could feel it start to feel strange again as he began to get worked up. Austin could feel his loins starting to stir from his sheath as he humped against Sammy's cock.
The larger cubs barbed member began to protrude as he thrusted against it. Austin was eager to make his friend feel good again, and the feeling of Sammy's slimy and barbed cock made him want even more. So he continued to push himself up and down, rubbing his cock and sheath against the other boys. Sammy was moaning at this point, feeling the now-familiar sensation begin to build up in his balls. The dog's knot pushed out and began pulsing against the barbed member. The husky could feel himself getting worked up as a little bit of precum seeped out.
It wasn't long before the two of them shared a moment of orgasm bliss. Juvenile seed spreading from their tips as their cocks spasmed and throbbed in unison.
"Oh..." Austin moaned as his body started to recover.
Sammy wasn't sure what to say and basked in the moment, sharing awkward silence between the two of them. The husky's body remained limp as he tried to recover from the resulting sexual stupor. It took several minutes before either of them said anything.
"Maybe we should go home now? My parents might be home soon and it's getting late." Austin knew he had to be home before his parents did.
"Sure..." Sammy spun his body back around causing the puppy to be ejected back into the water.
Austin was caught by surprise and had to resurface before swimming to the shore. The two emerged before long and began to walk back the way they came from. Sammy extended out his paw and the younger cub took it rather willingly. They trekked the woods back together. It was a slow and casual walk that took longer than it should have otherwise. Once they were back within the distance of the house, they stopped for a moment.
The smaller cub realized his parent's car was already in the driveway. Realization dawned on him, that he'd now have to explain Sammy being both bigger and younger. Austin began to feel a bit worried as he thought about needing to come clean about the issue. Still, he knew he'd eventually have to come clean about the issue. Now they moved much slower, with the husky taking a small lead. As they came close enough to see the entrance, Austin saw the still partially destroyed door now recalling the semi-destruction from earlier.
"Wait here..." Austin decided it was probably a good idea to initiate a conversation with his parents in order to ease them into the situation.
When he went inside his father was inside, his arms crossed not seeming too pleased.
"Why are you naked...Where is your clothing?" The older husky looked up and down his son unsure of why he was in his birthday suit.
"I uh...lost them?" Austin couldn't come up with any better answer than that.
"What happened and where is Sam?" The man was furious and was seriously considering firing the teen.
"Well...he's outside but I think you should know something." The cub had his tail between his legs as he was rather afraid of the potential consequences of his actions.
"What? You have a lot of explaining to do. The house is a mess and the door is broken." The father wanted a more immediate solution than was actually possible.
"Just...come outside?" Austin figured seeing Sammy would at least explain some since he would have to prove it anyways.
The husky led his father out of the broken door and as soon as the man saw the giant boy, his maw fell to the floor in disbelief.
"What the....is going on here?" The man hesitated to curse in front of his kid.
"Hiya Mr. Friedman!" Sammy waved seeming more careless than he usually was.
"What did you two do...? What happened to him?" The father couldn't take his eyes of Sammy before finally turning his eyes to his son.
"I don't know? It just sort of happened?" The puppy really did have no clue and his innocent look sort of confirmed as much.
"I..." The man had no idea what to say even if his rage was overwhelming, all of this was just too much to take in.
"Isn't it neat though? Sammy can be my friend forever and ever!" Sammy ran over to hug the much larger boy around the ankle.
The older man looked back over at Sammy and then back to his kid. He was unsure of what to think. While the panther definitely looked bigger, he also looked different. He wasn't quite certain of what it was but he seemed younger. What did all of this mean? Nothing seemed to make sense anymore. Still, he couldn't help but smile at his younger boy warming up to his friend.
"That's really Sammy?" The man just had to be sure...
"Yeah, Isn't it neat? Now he doesn't have to go away!" Austin seemed rather excited about the fact.
"Uh...I need to talk to your mother about this...I'll be right back." The older male pinched himself to be sure certain he wasn't dreaming.
"Don't worry, Sammy. I know they will let us stay together forever and ever!"
When the man returned with his wife, he had to catch her. The initial shock she felt was like nothing she experienced before.
"You alright Sherry? I mean...I did warn you there was a giant cub outside..." He was able to catch her and prevent her from hitting the floor.
"Yeah...I just thought you were joking. Is that really, Sammy?" The woman stood back up, though she had to slightly lean on her husband a bit.
"Nope...so what do we do about this...little situation?" He asked her inserting the irony possible.
"Well...what are you suggesting?" She wasn't really entirely sure what to think.
"Sammy, what is it you want bucko?" The dad asked feeling rather bad for the giant cub.
"I want to stay here with Austin!" The panther put absolutely no thought into the ordeal.
"What would we do with him? He's so big..." The wife looked at her husband staring at him, feeling as if he would cave since he had a soft heart.
"Please, dad?" The boy's son looked at him with the best puppy eyes he could manage.
"He could live in the back yard? He wasn't really sure of what else they could do with him.
"Are you really suggesting he stays here? What do we tell his parents?" Unlike her husband, Sherry was a bit of a realist.
"Well, what do you think? Just send him back to home like this? They might blame us...what then?" The man knew he had a point.
"Hmm, I guess you're right. Are you hoping this...problem...will wear off in time?" Sherry thought about it and it did seem like a reasonable option.
"Yes, he was supposed to stay with us for the weekend anyway. One of us can still go away. The other will have to stay home and make sure he doesn't go anywhere." It was the best solution he could come up with one short term.
"Yay! You get to stay with us, Sammy!" Austin clutched his friend as tightly as he could.
"And the neighbors? What about them?" The woman had come up with all the flaws in his plan.
"Perhaps he can stay in the woods then? We have to do something for the boy. We can't just leave him, Sherry." The husband wasn't about to abandon Sammy in his times of need.
"Alright...fine. You win. He can stay but only until he gets back to normal." She walked away from the situation and back inside.
"I bet you two are hungry, huh? Don't worry about her...she'll warm up to the idea." The husky made his way back indoors.
"This is going to be so cool! I hope you can stay forever and ever!" Austin didn't even care about the whole size issue and just wanted to be with Sammy.
"That would be super neat!" Sammy said as he knelt down to be closer to eye level with his friend.
Eventually, the man returned with the meal and the whole family had dinner underneath the stars. Fortunately for them, there weren't many people around and only the occasional passerby got a look at the giant cub. The now extended family shared food rather happily and despite Sammy's large size, he didn't stick out like a sore thumb. All and all it was a happy event. Even sweeter when the two parents watched Sammy twirl around Austin with ease. It was a rather warming moment for them and internally they were happy he'd be around a little more.
The rest of the went normally. It was a little awkward for the parents to put the kids to sleep. Austin insisted on being with Sammy, who had to sleep outside. After some convincing, they finally lamented and agreed. The two shared a slumber underneath the stars. The parents simply smiling at the embrace, having no idea how much they liked each other. Finally retiring inside the two fell asleep. It seemed everything was going to be alright after all.
