When I walked back into my apartment, I was not surprised to find a young, slightly chubby man laying face down on the couch.

"James? Everything alright?"

All I could hear was a mumble underneath the messy brown hair of his. James was a friend I had known since fifth grade and though we drifted apart when we left for college, we eventually reconnected when I graduated early and had to move for work in the very same city James was still studying in.

One day though I got a text message from him asking if he could visit me which I gladly accepted. At first glance he seemed fine but I could see that something was troubling him. I didn't want to pry any further so I told him to stay and I decided to go buy a few cans of beer, the very same brand we used to sneak out to drink together in high school.

I placed the plastic bag of beer onto my coffee table next to his rectangular glasses and crouched down next to him.

"You know you can talk to me about anything"

He twisted to look at me. He had a nerdy and round face with a thin beard. His brown eyes were red and tired. Without his glasses I could see the dark bags under his eyes.

"I'm just tired, that's all" he said with a drained expression

I didn't reply. I merely gestured for him to sit up and make room for me. He sat up, sighing with his face in his hands. I took a seat next to him, where he previously had his head down.

"This" he said gesturing his hands out "This is all fucked you know?"

I nodded, grabbing a can of beer from the bag, opening it and giving it to him.

"I'm just tired and stressed all the time. Work and study, work and study and for what? Some lame-ass job at a company that doesn't give two shits about you?"

He took a sip from the can as I grabbed my very own. I nodded to let him to continue.

"And in the end, nothing. Nothing at all. Just a life of misery with nothing to show for it. Just stress and being tired all the time. I don't think I can handle it, Alex."

I took a sip of the beer, it still tasted as awful as I remembered. James suddenly stood up causing me to spill a bit of beer onto myself, not that I could care. I looked right at him. He was dressed in his university hoodie and a pair of simple jeans. He was pale yet a bit pudgy, he definitely gained some weight since high school. He grabbed his glasses, putting them back on.

"I'm not like you. I wasn't born into a path. I mean look at you! You got it figured out. A year younger than me and already you finished the academy and got a job!" I could hear and see the anger he had. He wasn't wrong though. Very rare was someone like me born with natural gifts.

I sigh "Don't sell yourself short James, computer science at one of the best universities and an internship at one of the top tech companies. It's nothing to scoff at."

James waved his arms at me. "Don't patronize me. It's because that is what someone like me has to do. You on the other hand actually like what you do."

"That is true. So then, what do you want to do?"

James threw his hands up. "I don't know, I just don't know. Just being an adult fucking sucks."

I huff and give a smile "Say James, aren't foxes your favorite animals?"

He looked at me in bewilderment "Yeah, what does that have to do with anything?"

With a snap of my fingers, James was completely nude, his clothes falling into a neat pile next to him. Only his glasses remained.

He immediately covered his crotch with his hands, face beaming red with embarrassment.

"Alex! What the fuck!?" he shouted.

"Oh, please no need to cover yourself, you're not hiding something I haven't seen before and plus it's not like you're going to need clothes now"

Flicking my wrist, I could the magic start to flow in me. I already had no need for a wand.

"What are you doing?" James asked in worry.

"Giving you an alternative"

Slowly I could feel and see the magic flow from my hands, surrounding and slowly permeating into James. It would take a lot of energy but I was more than prepared. Slowly I could see James' body hair start to thicken as the changes started to place. Though he may not see the magic, I could tell from his expression of panic that he could feel it.

"Alex, wait!" James said as he held his hands to him only to immediately stare at the transformation that was starting. His nails started to blacken. His fingers were becoming shorter and stubbier. He turned one of his hands back to stare as certain areas of his palm started to darken and grow thicker. A thin layer of almost black hair started to appear on the areas that didn't as well as on his fingers and the back of his hand. The hair on his forearms too started to turn darker. The body hair on the upper part of his was turning orange and the hair on his belly started to turn white as did the curly dark mess that was his pubes that also started to thin and shorten.

James let out a gasp as he realized what I was doing. I could see the teeth started to change, his canines becoming longer and more fang like. Slowly his nose started to blacken as well, turning fleshier and wetter. The lower part of his beard started to turn white and the hair on his cheeks started to become longer and more orange. The tips of his ears were becoming longer and pointier.

"Alex...Alex stop!" James shouted as his voice started to crack. I held my fingers still, pausing the transformation. I looked at his partly transformed face which was still mostly human. I didn't start to change the structure of his skull yet and the hairs on the front of his face were still thin enough that skin was mostly visible. But the sides of his face were orange and white as if he had a pointed sideburn. His nose though was nearly fox like. He gave me a look of shock and horror.

"James" I say calmly "Just let it be"

"No...no! I don't want this!" James begged

"Really" I say as I started to peer into his mind. "Don't you want to be fox?"

I could feel that he was still stunned and struggling with what was happening. I could feel his conflicted thoughts and desires. His mind was in a maelstrom. I could change and manipulate them myself but I told myself not to. I focused my mind back to the transformation.

"I...I don't"

I continued. James started to lose his fat, becoming thinner and lither. He wasn't just losing fat. He was becoming shorter and smaller as well. Thankfully I could use the lost mass to aid in the transformation. The magic was draining my body. Especially as the next part would be the most tiring. James held his hands in front of his mouth as it started to push forward with his nose. His lips blacken and got thinner as they were stretched and shaped along with the rest of his face. His teeth got sharper and more placed out as his mouth slowly turned into a snout.

More and more orange and white fur started to spread outwards from his now completely vulpine nose. A small patch of darker fur grew near the sides of his nose where long black whiskers started to pop out. His neck became shorter and started to warp, forcing more of James' head forwards.

The hair continued to grow and change color over his body and his limbs shortened and lengthened to be more like that of a fox. His hands were now more like paws as his thumbs became small and moved upwards, becoming a dewclaw. He now had paw pads instead of a flat palm. His nails became thick and started to slightly curl. Though I couldn't see it too well I knew a very similar thing was happening to his feet and legs. I changed my focus however to the area in between them.

I saw that James was circumcised but that wouldn't effect the transformation as his foreskin became thicker and grew longer, replacing what has been cut off and finally covering the tip of his shaft. His entire penis was getting smaller and bent upwards, slowly moving closer to the belly. The skin which had now became a sheath started to pull and meld into the body, leaving only a bit of the sheath to be out. His balls too tightened and became smaller, moving away from sheath and towards the anus. What was once his pubic started to spread, covering the sheath, balls and finally his entire crotch in soft white fur.

White fur that that was also now covering his belly, chest and joining the fur that was coming down from the snout to the throat. Alongside the fur his body too changed, becoming slender, graceful. His back too changed, orange fur covering what was once a bit of body hair.

"Yip!" James let out as his tail bone started to pop out. A tail that was getting longer with bushy orange fur following the growing tip.

James became smaller and smaller. I no longer needed to look up at his face from my seated position. I could stare eye to eye with him. Eyes that were still brown and untouched by the transformation.

"A-alex...p-please" he tried to make out. His once human tongue now thin and long.

I stopped and peered into his mind once more. A lot of him was still fighting. I only wanted to change what was necessary but I knew what I must do. I gently grabbed the sides of his face where fluffy fur was now spread out. It felt soft in my hands as a slowly moved James' head to face mine. I stared right into his eyes. Eyes that were quivering and wet.

"Look into my eyes James, just look into my eyes" He wanted to avert my gaze but I knew he couldn't.

"A fox is a mischievous creature. Wild and undomesticated. The wild fox must be tamed and to tame it I must change its nature. James, please forgive me for what I'm about to do. I must change and warp your mind as well. I want to keep most of it intact, I really do."

"A-alex..."

"You're fighting the changes and unless I change it as well, the fox will take over. I don't want to lose you"

I close my eyes, changing my magic from my hands to eyes. I have never seen it myself but many have told me that my eyes glow purple when I do.

"James, don't you want to be fox? Don't you want to be a good fox? "

"A..a"

"No more cares in the world but just to be good pet. No more worries, no more stress. Just a good fox"

"..."

He was begging with his eyes, begging for what I didn't know yet.

"I will keep as you are, your memories will still be there. You will still be you. You will still be James."

"I..."

"You always loved foxes didn't you. You admired them. Remember when you used to tell me all about them when we were younger. How intelligent and carefree they were. You must have thought to be one before."

James closed his eyes. I could already feel what he will answer.

"Yes..."

"Look at me James" He opened his eyes again, now yellow. "I will give it to you. I will give you what you want. You will be free from all cares, all worries, everything."

"Wha-what...a-bou-bout family? Fr...iends...work...m-my...life?"

"Don't worry about it. I will take care of it. I will care of you. You don't need to worry about it. Just to be a good fox, a good pet. That is all. For me, for master."

"Y-yes...please"

"You want to be a good fox, don't you? A good fox"

"Yes...I...want to be...a...good fox"

"Just a good fox"

"A...good...fox"

"For me, your master"

"For you"

I could feel his mind calm down. There was no more conflict or clashes. I slowly moved the magic back into my hands, still holding James. I let the magic flow from my hands into James letting his body complete the changes. Soon soft shiny fur has completely covered his body. His face and body now morphed to that of a perfect male red fox.

His size continued to diminish until he was just slightly bigger than average fox, all the while, I held his slender head in between my hands. Once I felt the transformation complete, I gave James a look. In between my hands was a beautiful red fox with bright yellow eyes that stared back at me. Eyes that were still recognizable as James'. Eyes that told me Thank you.

I carefully lift James up, cradling him in my arms. His fur was soft and warm. I let him rest his head in my lap, stroking him between his two pointed ears. After a moment I felt his heart beat become slower and his breathing quieter. The transformation took pretty much all of his energy so I was not surprised he would fall asleep so easily. The process too took my energy and I found myself drifting to sleep.

"Good fox" I said before finally allowing myself to fall into slumber.
