Chk-Chk. Chk-Chk. Chk-chk. It was the sound of skateboard wheels rolling along the sidewalk, echoing into the evening air. The trees rustled in the cool wind, adding just a bit of a nip to the air. Cody stood with a casual confidence on his longboard, a fringe of curly black hair peeking out of his hoodie, his torn black jeans showing his knees and part of his legs, his slightly oversized sneakers gripping the gritty deck of his ride. AirPods hung from his ears, pumping angsty music of a forgotten era. It wasn't too far off from the eighteen-year-old's normal look, at least as far as his wardrobe went. When it came to his face, though, Cody had taken it to the next level.

It had started with a random TikTok video, but Cody had been inspired. He'd been amazed by the transformation that one of his idols had undergone and emulated their techniques. With just the right makeup, he'd highlighted his contours to give the illusion of exaggerated muscles in his face. The tip of his nose had been painted black, contrasting with the nose ring hanging from it. Careful lines had been added to extend his modest stubble and make it look more like a full beard. The look had been topped off by some yellow contacts, blending everything together into a rather satisfying wolfman costume for Halloween.

Cody continued down the road, focused on the music, bobbing his head to the percussion. He'd traveled the road a thousand times, maybe even more. He'd even dealt with the crack in the sidewalk before, but it had never been this bad. Nature always seemed to find a way to push past the limits and the roots creeping under the sidewalk had been growing and growing. Chk-chk. Chk-chk. Chk-chk... clatter. The board came to an abrupt stop after jerking at an angle, but Cody kept going.

Twigs snapped loudly around his head as he went over the embankment, landing on a slick of old leaves that only accelerated his descent. The teenager bounced, rolled, slid and tumbled his way down. His already torn up jeans were further destroyed as they were snagged by the edges of rocks, thorny vines and other sharp edges. Cody let out a growing yell of grief that reverberated and echoed as he rolled like he was in a tumble dryer before, at long last, the ground seemed to even out and he finally shed his excess speed.

Finally feeling brave enough to try and slow himself to a stop, Cody reached out to try and grab onto anything to stop himself, but it seemed nature had intended to stop him just as it had his board. Cody slammed into an old tree root, coming to a stop immediately, forcing all the inertia to travel up along his spine until his head slammed into the tree and he blacked out. The sound of his fall faded away and his skateboard was silent, leaving only the sound of the branches rustling beneath the Halloween sky.

****

It wasn't so much a sound or even a sensation that came back to Cody first - it was a smell. Copper... No, blood. That detail was alarming enough to shake Cody awake, bringing with it the sting of every cut, bruise and scrape he'd gained on his rapid trip down the embankment. Cody groaned softly, wrinkling up his painted nose in pain. What Cody had not expected to hear was a slight coo. His eyes opened suddenly as he looked out, realizing he was not alone.

As Cody's vision started to return, at first, he only saw the mass of hair and muscle before him. He tried to scoot back to get away from what he assumed was a bear, only to bump into the gnarled tree root that had stopped him the first time. His eyes watered and he blinked, trying to see past the contacts. With what little focus came back, he realized he wasn't looking at a bear... He wasn't even sure what he was looking at.

Crouched a short distance away was a creature that looked like some distant ancestor of humanity; bipedal, two arms, two legs, a face, and hair... lots and lots of hair. There was a familiar intellect in the eyes, an almost human nose. The arms were a bit long, and its knees were up higher while crouched which made Cody think this thing had to be really tall, but the legs led down to feet - big feet. Everything swirled together in his mind at once as his eyes widened.

"Bigfoot..." he whispered. The creature's brow quirked a little.

"Clumsy wolfman." The bigfoot replied. Cody froze for a moment, surprised by just how young the voice sounded. It was almost as if it could have belonged to any of his classmates.

"You can talk?" Cody asked. The bigfoot snorted.

"I should be asking you that. It's a full moon tonight, I'm surprised you haven't shifted all the way yet!" the beast replied, "Not that I mind looking at you like this, but I think you'd look pretty cute with a bit more hair on that face." he grinned. Cody's mouth opened and closed a few times in an effort to process, trying to speak but finding no words. The bigfoot shifted a little, looking suddenly uncomfortable, "I'm sorry, that's probably too forward. I just have a type I guess." he admitted. Cody was even more shocked by that, although he felt a strange twinge of empathy in his heart, realizing how he'd made the bigfoot feel.

"No, it's not that, I-" Cody hesitated, "I'm not a wolfman, it's just a costume... for Halloween." he said. The bigfoot's eyes widened, revealing that they were a rich chestnut brown that complimented the tawny skin tone beneath the mane of reddish-brown fur.

"You can't be..." he whispered, looking suddenly scared. Cody bit his bottom lip.

"I am, I was just heading to a Halloween party and I fell." Cody admitted.

"No, I mean... Oh no... I..." The bigfoot whispered, rising up to an impressive seven and a half feet tall. Cody fell back, looking up at him in all his glory... and then down at an even more impressive attribute. Hanging from his legs was a cock that would have made horses envious, reaching almost to his knees and thicker than Cody's forearm. The fat python curved slightly over plump balls, each one having to be at least the size of an orange. It seemed that what they said about big feet was quite true. The bigfoot crossed his arms across his stomach, "I can't believe I was that stupid, I let a human see me..."

"I won't tell anyone." Cody said softly. The bigfoot shot him a scowl.

"Sure you won't. Humans are so trustworthy. You'll just keep the secret that-" the bigfoot stopped, flinching. He had been about to reveal even more. He growled with anger, showing off his abnormally sharp incisors, "Why did you have to be so fucking cute?!" he exclaimed. Cody blushed a little at that, unable to stop himself from grinning despite the strange conversation.

"I thought you said you had a type, that I'd look better with more hair on my face?" Cody said. The bigfoot looked back with annoyance.

"Well it's not like that's hard to fix, especially for my kind." he smirked. Cody tilted his head with intrigue.

"You can give people more hair on their face?" he asked. The bigfoot hesitated for a moment. He knew it was against his better instincts to share anything whatsoever, but he had already broken the cardinal rule of their people and revealed himself to a human, a cute human at that. He weighed his options before he let out a soft sigh.

"Not just their face." he said cryptically. Cody licked his lips a little.

"Would it make me like you in other ways? You got a nice piece of meat there." Cody said. The bigfoot looked up at Cody, then down at his dick, then back at Cody.

"You like it?" he asked in surprise, "I thought all human boys liked girls..."

"Oh, trust me, there's a way bigger spectrum out there... Mmm, bigger." Cody purred. The bigfoot hesitated again, eyes narrowing a bit with calculation, trying to problem solve a way out of his current situation.

"Do you want to feel it?" he asked, reaching down to run his big, leathery hand down and up the length of his member, coaching it to harden and stiffen, lifting upwards. Cody watched it like a snake being mesmerized by a charmer.

"It's huge... I bet it feels amazing..." Cody whispered.

"It tastes even better..." the bigfoot whispered. Cody watched the hand work that beast, stroking up and down, watching the cock fill and grow, veins thumping with the heart of another creature. Cody felt exposed, vulnerable and open. In all honesty to himself, he'd played around with makeup in secret before finding the TikTok videos, and then putting on costumes had become something of an outlet. He'd turned himself into a wolfman, a symbiote sharp teeth painted on, ghosts and zombies and a half dozen other creatures. He'd even bought some toys from the internet, certain kinds he could never let his parents know he played with, ones that let him imagine he was spending time with naughty dragons, rough orcs, or flirtatious felines... but now he knew none of them held a candle to what a bigfoot had to offer.

"I don't know your name..." Cody whispered, gazing at the gigantic cock. He crawled forward a little, already salivating.

"Hauk..." The bigfoot said softly, starting to feel a little guilty about his plan, but he couldn't turn back. He had to see it through.

"I'm Cody." the human said, kneeling before the bigfoot, looking up at him with yellow eyes and a painted face, reaching up to wrap his fingers most of the way around the bigfoot's huge cock. Hauk's eyes fluttered closed as he shuddered with excitement. He'd played around with the other bigfoot boys in the tribe, and they often watched videos of the humans on the various lost smartphones they'd stumbled on. They had always seemed so forbidden, so aloof, so fragile, but here one was, feeling up his dick. All Hauk had to do was see it through.

"Are you hungry Cody? I hope you have lots of room..." Hauk whispered. Cody licked his lips one more time before he went for it, leaning in. Hauk moaned softly, feeling that smooth human tongue slathering over the fat, round head of his cock. Then he groaned even more when he felt Cody open his mouth as wide as he could, stretching that ring of skin around it. Cody felt his mouth engulf the bigfoot's rod. It brushed against his tongue and teeth, gliding along his cheeks. It was big, bigger than anything Cody had ever imagined, but it was like heaven to him all the same.

Cody began to slide his head back and forth, using his tongue as much as he could. Thankfully his saliva came in ample quantities, allowing him to slick the flesh down and to let it glide. He grunted and murmured, sending vibrations up along Hauk's length. Hauk looked down at that curled up wolfman nose with the silver ring hanging from it, realizing that should have been the first giveaway - but Cody was so eager, so hungry, so needy.

Hauk reached down with his free hand, pulling back the hood, revealing Cody's mane of curly black hair. He sunk his large fingers into the locks and got a good grip as he started to guide his head back and forth. Cody shivered and grunted, both hands rising up to squeeze and stroke the inches of Hauk's cock that he couldn't fit into his mouth, trying to pleasure him fully. Hauk growled more, panting hard, his face wrenching up.

The two had started out in earnest, uncertain and hesitant - as any eighteen-year-olds might have been. They were from different worlds with different backgrounds, but they were also men with surging hormones and potent pheromones. Cody let out more and more of his inner thirst and Hauk started to give more and more of himself. Their movements became more fluid, more organic and more heated.

Cody suckled from the bigfoot's cock, trying to get more and more with each thrust. It brushed the back of his throat, then rammed into it, but he'd managed to bypass his gag reflex some time ago. His cock ached with need, but his hands were busy. His balls throbbed and his entire body felt warm and content. The sting of his injuries was gone and sweat beaded across his brow. Hauk grunted louder and louder with each thrust, sounding less like a civilized being and more like a beast. He snarled, his hand gripping Cody's head tighter, tugging on it over and over and over and over and then... it happened.

In one glorious moment, Cody felt his throat expand as the huge cock driving into his mouth found its way. It slipped down inch after inch, sliding in like a sword finding a sheath. His eyes watered, his throat undulated, and Hauk let out a roar of triumph. Maybe humans weren't so fragile, or maybe his plan had already started working. Just the thought of it sent a shiver up Hauk's spine... and down his cock. His huge balls began to go into overtime and an earthy, peaty, musky pre began to leak from the tip of the bigfoot's big cock.

The flavor somehow worked its way back up to Cody's mouth, filling it with the essence of a real male. It coated the human's throat, the cock that filled it and everything in between. It numbed the stinging friction of having such a large piece of meat in such a tight passage. Hauk's eyes squeezed shut and his hands worked as if automated, pulling Cody down his length while his other hand helped to guide it. He huffed and moaned, feeling the heat building in his loins, only vaguely aware that little by little, the hair he was holding on to for support was getting longer... and longer.

With every drop, Hauk was coaxing a little more out of Cody. His scalp tingled as his hair grew, little by little but longer with each moment. Cody had gone for the hairstyle that was popular in his class, allowing a sort of mushroom shaped poof of his curly hair up top and shaved shorter on the sides, but the sculpted fringe was craving to be wild, to be free. It grew out faster, pushing out more and more. Hauk had to change his grip, sinking down deeper to keep hold of Cody's skull and to fuck it with all his might.

Hauk had always considered himself a rather meek and mild-mannered bigfoot. He was smaller than the other youth his age and hadn't found a significant other yet. He hadn't really even had anyone interested from either gender... but now he felt his instincts, his drive, his desire. He looked down at Cody, a sense of power filling him. The bigfoot licked his lips a little, watching as new stubble began to sprout from beneath the pigment Cody applied to make himself look like a wolfman. What had been a costume was becoming real. Hundreds of tiny hairs emerged along his jawbone, then his cheeks, then arching over his upper lip.

It was almost as if the makeup that Cody had used for his costume acted like fertilizer, allowing the hair to sprout faster and longer. The full moon cast long shadows, but they could barely rival the five o'clock shadow that spread across the eighteen-year-old's face. Seeing the human mature and grow only turned Hauk on more and his trickle of pre became a faucet, forcing Cody to gulp and gulp and gulp... but he was running out of air.

With a pained, reluctant, desperate need for air, Cody pulled himself back until the huge cock popped free of his mouth. As it wobbled, it flung jet after jet of pre across Cody's face, splattering it with a translucent milky seed. Cody panted for breath, his chest rising and falling even as new hair began to poke up from the collar of his shirt. He looked up at Hauk with lust, or at least he tried to. His eyes were itching so bad he couldn't stand it anymore. He reached up to remove his contacts, slipping one off. As the moonlight hit his naked iris, it glimmered in the same amber tone the contact had held. He removed the second a moment later and looked up at Hauk with gleaming golden eyes.

"You want more?" Hauk asked, though he already knew the answer. Cody just grinned and reclined onto his back, lifting his legs in the air. The breeze blew through the newly sprouted strands of black that were growing out from the skin covering his knees, but Cody either didn't notice or didn't care. He unbuttoned his pants and unzipped them, tugging them down along with his soaked boxers. Hauk got a good whiff of the human's scent, finding it oddly sweet. Cody wriggled his pants down to his ankles and rolled back again, exposing his quivering, aching, needy hole. Hauk didn't have to be asked twice.

The changes had already started to take root, working through Cody's system like wildfire. His pit hair was thickening, chest hair was growing, his bush was thickening. All of that was surface level, but his entire body was embracing what Hauk had offered. His bones throbbed, his marrow felt molten, his joints ached and yet all the pain felt pleasurable at the same time. He grunted a bit as he felt his legs and arms trying to grow, but his cock seemed to be the most eager. As it lay against his stomach, it slithered out longer and longer, adding on a centimeter after the next, surpassing any limits it had ever held.

Hauk knelt down, trying to counterbalance his long legs and his big feet. He slid up, bringing the head of his immense shaft to Cody's hungry hole. With just a bit of testing, he began to ease it in. With the kiss of his lover's copious pre, Cody's hole began to relax and grow, stretching wider and allowing far more in than any human could have managed. Hauk snarled and snorted, thrusting - gently at first, then a little less so. Despite the advancements in his culture, their attempts to be civilized, it was hard to ignore so many centuries of instincts.

Cody writhed on the ground, arching his back. It almost felt as if his synapses were short circuiting. His toes curled and uncurled, although his shoes were feeling tighter by the second. His arms flailed, reaching out to try and hold onto anything, but all he got was bits of leaves and moss beneath his fingernails. His chest rose and fell in random, furtive bursts - almost like fits of breathing. He groaned and then screamed out in pleasure as he felt another two inches slide into him. Hauk was filling a hole he had never known was there, and he wanted it filled all the way.

The bigfoot slid in and out, back and forth, feeling a bit more give with each movement... although he saw that he was giving a lot more than he was receiving. What had started as a few curls peeking up from the collar of Cody's hoodie had become a lot more as a pelt of fine black hair was creeping up toward his shoulders. His hair had grown out past his ears, then down to the nape of his neck, getting longer and thicker... but the part that caught Hauk's attention most had to be Cody's newly forged beard.

It had started as make up, then stubble. It had been the first sign that Cody was following in Hauk's proverbial footsteps. It pushed out of his cheeks, his chin, his jaw and even his throat. The hair was thick and frizzy, robust and full of volume. His mouth formed countless shapes to express his ecstasy, but now it was framed by a mustache and goatee. It looked as if he'd been growing for a year, then a year and a half, but it showed no signs of slowing - and neither did Hauk.

Cody's mind swirled in a haze of pleasure, unable to sort out what was real and what was imagined. His joints were still popping and snapping, his bones growing. His cock flopped around with each thrust of his hairy lover, but it was growing fatter and longer as well. His fit and firm abs were even getting stretched out, distending around the cock that was pumping into him. Every time that Hauk's cock penetrated Cody, a little of his humanity was pushed out. His brow bone was thickening, his nose broadening, his hands growing... but it wasn't just his body. It was his mind as well.

The urgency to get to the party was fading. The reliance on technology was abating. Cody could hear the words of the trees, the song of the creek, the distant melody of the stars. It was music, nature was weaving itself into his body and soul like threads of a tapestry. What had been crude grunts and moans became a song of his own, a gentle undulating moan that celebrated the experience that was washing over and through him. His amber eyes gazed upwards in a vague rapture and it was only turning Hauk on more.

While the bigfoot had tried to stick to educational and entertainment videos on the tribe's purloined cell phones, he had caught some of the others watching human pornography from time to time. Seeing Cody becoming one of their tribe, it seemed only right to welcome him in the same way his people might have. Honk reached out and took hold of Cody's now hairy legs, lifting one up onto his right shoulder, then the other onto his left. Cody sensed the change in position at once, using his legs to get a good grip. He clenched his muscles to pull himself down tighter onto Hauk's member before releasing and sliding up a bit. In a strange way, it almost felt like some sort of exercise.

Up and down, in and out, back and forth. It seemed that whatever Cody was doing, he found the natural rhythm. In his current situation, that meant that he was taking almost all of Hauk's massive member and each movement was eroding away at what humanity he had left. Cody had already packed on several inches as his spine lengthened, then many more as his legs and arms joined suit. He no longer seemed human with his disproportionate limbs. His hoodie had ridden up, revealing his furry stomach. In fact, the fur had covered just about everything from the neck down. The holes in his jeans showed nothing but tufts of black fur.

Hauk felt so powerful, so alive, so manly. He'd welcomed a human to his tribe, as had been his plan. The only way to make sure Cody wouldn't spill their secret was to make sure he had a vested interest in protecting them too. He had felt a bit guilty at first, but it seemed that Cody was really getting into it, and he made a rather fetching bigfoot. There were just a few more changes to go, and Hauk knew he had to get his partner there. He grabbed onto Cody's waist, braced himself and then thrust as deeply as he could get.

"Ungh, don't stop!" Cody howled, although his voice had dropped a little. His beard had descended from his face during their entire love making session, passing six inches, then seven, then eight. The line between beard and fur disappeared as the last skin was covered on his throat, his neck and his shoulders. What little bit of skin remained exposed was getting tougher, taking on a leathery sort of hide. His nose crinkled, his brow thickened, and his ears grew just a little bit. Seeing Cody take on the face of a bigfoot was the last straw for Hauk. It was the single hottest thing he'd ever seen, let alone been involved in. Even if he wanted to hold back, he couldn't. Everything came to a head in a blinding moment of pure bliss.

It was hard to say where Hauk felt his orgasm first. Was it the rapid movement of pressure in his balls? The undulating spasms of his cock? The blinding, searing light blossoming out from countless points of his brain? Wherever it had started, his entire body worked in concert to bring him to the inescapable conclusion of his activities. The steady trickle of his pre had been impressive, but it was nothing compared to the onslaught of his true seed. Cody felt as if a firehose had gone off in his stomach. The surge flooded his intestines, then his stomach. The seed was copious enough that it started to fill his stomach in reverse.

If the lovemaking hadn't been a potent enough trigger for the human's transformation, the flood of cum certainly was. His fur thickened, his hair lengthened, his hands grew... but there was one last finishing touch, one last detail that his corrupted, mutating blood had to reach. It traveled up his longer legs, passing through his enhanced muscles. It fed through veins, arteries and capillaries, reaching into the feet that were anchored over Hauk's shoulders. Cody's feet had been big to begin with, size twelve. It had been hard to find shoes. During the course of their lovemaking, his feet had grown cramped inside his shoes, reaching at least size fourteen... but with the cum coursing through him, his last change couldn't be held back any longer.

Having trapped the human's feet on his shoulders, Hauk heard the groaning and straining of the human's sneakers. Even being oversized, they were no match for the newest eighteen-year-old bigfoot. The leather creaked, the stitches strained and then they snapped. The rubber sole detached from the upper portion, allowing five long, thick toes to pop out. The callouses had thickened on the bottom and patches of fur had grown from each toe knuckle. No longer restrained, the changes to Cody's feet only sped up. The arch of his foot flattened out, his heel broadened, and his toe grew longer and broader at the same time.

The sound of the shoe bursting had been erotic the first time, but when the second followed suit, Hauk nearly came all over again. He turned, bringing his big nose up to sniff at Cody's feet. He got a good whiff, smelling his masculinity, his manliness. There was a unique scent, a sort of spice that belonged just to Cody. With his stomach bloated from cum and his change complete, Hauk reluctantly and carefully pulled back, allowing Cody to lay in a more comfortable position. When he tried to pull out, though, Cody reached out and grabbed on to him.

"Don't leave me..." Cody whispered. Hauk looked at him in surprise.

"I'd never leave you. We're connected now. We're of the same tribe." Hauk replied. Cody seemed to relax a little, giving Hauk enough freedom to try and help his friend. He unlaced the remains of his shoes and let the torn scraps tumble to the forest floor. He finally got the bunched-up pants off of his legs, and then pulled the tight hoodie off over his head. Cody shook a little, although he still had bits of orange and gold leaves in his dark hair. Hauk looked at him with affection and softness. Cody looked up at the bigfoot's face, finding it easier to see and to read than before... and then he started to remember his old life. Hauk grew tense as he saw the change in Cody's expression, although the human didn't pull away.

"Is that what happens to people that discover that you exist?" Cody asked. Hauk shifted a little uncomfortably.

"Different tribes handle it in different ways, but... We try to stick to our own, to stay alive and stay safe." Hauk said. Cody laid on his back for a long moment before he grinned a little.

"But do any of you ever break the rules?" Cody asked. Hauk looked a little anxious at that. If anything, he was sort of the nerd of his tribe.

"Keeping the secret is what has kept us alive all this time. We can't be seen..." Hauk said. Cody grinned a bit more.

"What if you were able to hide in plain sight but get a closer look at my... my old world than you ever did before?" Cody asked. Hauk shook his head.

"Magic like that doesn't exist, at least not anymore." he said softly. Cody grinned slowly, an expression that looked completely different with his new mountain man beard and incisors that were just a bit too long.

"It isn't magic, it's Halloween. People are expecting to see costumes, to see monsters and oddities and wonders. We could pretend to be in costume, and you could see humanity closer than you ever have before." Cody said.

"Halloween?" Hauk asked, not completely convinced. Cody grinned a bit more.

"You welcomed me into your world, at least let me show you mine as I say goodbye. Besides, there's candy..." Cody whispered. At the mention of candy, Hauk's eyes lit up. Resources were few and far between, and no human willingly abandoned candy. Hauk's sweet tooth and his sweet spot for Cody had proven to be his downfall.

****

The full moon hung over the city like a watchful eye, tinged yellow by the dust of the harvest rising up into the atmosphere. The trees continued to rustle in the distance, but there were so many more sounds around the humans. Children laughed as they collected candy, music blared from the homes hosting parties. Cars moved around slowly, headlights panning down the dry, dusty streets. There were goblins and ghosts, superheroes and monsters, and amid it all, Hauk and Cody hardly seemed out of place.

It had taken a bit of effort, but the two had tried to use what was left of Cody's clothes to give their 'costumes' a bit more credibility. Hauk had squeezed into Cody's pants and Cody had tied the hoodie around his waist to keep what modesty he had about his new length. Hauk found it rather exotic to wear shoes, even if it was just the top half of them and they didn't fully fit. Cody had found a pair of sunglasses that rolled down the embankment, adding to his coolness factor.

As amazing as it had been for Cody to lose his humanity, it was just as fascinating for Hauk to get a taste of it. They had perched atop a large cement encasement that housed electrical equipment for the neighborhood. From there they had seen trick-or-treaters, pranksters, and the innocent few that tried not to be involved. They had even found a plethora of candy that had spilled as some kids ran from a scary teenager. Hauk fiddled with the wrappers, eventually tearing into them, chowing down on the strange waxy, chewy chocolate tootsie roll.

"Happy Halloween, Hauk." Cody smiled. Hauk turned and grinned.

"Happy Halloween, Cody." He replied, leaning over to kiss his new boyfriend. Cody murmured at that, their lips meeting and their beards meshing as their tongues began to tangle and he, too, got to savor the flavor of the tootsie roll. Cody had been seeking a good time on Halloween, and by taking an unexpected fall he'd found himself at the feet of his destiny. He had no regrets at how things had turned out, and something told him that the next year was going to be the best one of his life.
