It was a perfect, bright, sunny day today. The sun shines high in the sky, lighting up everything as everyone in the city is busy and making sure to make good use of their time under the sun. Kids are playing tag and running around, businesses are booming with customers aplenty; the city is completely lively and everyone is having fun under the sun.

Everyone except for...well, a certain deer-husky.

"Come on...please work."

In a certain part of the city, in a certain apartment, lives an extremely haggard deer-husky. The bespectacled deersky was typing away on their keyboard, their various screens shining down on them acting as the only light source in this dark room.

Their desk is strewn with so many papers. Empty cups of coffee and instant ramen littered around their space. Even the floor wasn't spared, filled with bags of chips, wires, tools, and other paper all around. It was a total mess.

And yet in the very middle of it all, Aster the deersky kept on typing and looking between their screens and their notes, eyes and mind focused on their experiment.

They pushed up their glasses with a paw as they leaned on their chair, letting it creak as the computer did its work compiling all the data and making sure the calculations were correct.

Aster sighed, rubbing their temples. "This is taking longer than it should be..."

They looked to their left, eyeing their new project with a tired expression. If they are correct, then this will end pretty soon.

"Hopefully that's the case." They mumbled, stretching their arms and hearing their bones crack a bit as they did some simple exercises to work out their body a bit. They then brushed off some dust from their lab coat as they went back to their notes, reviewing everything as they waited.

The poor deer-husky had been working on this little project of theirs for weeks now, and it didn't help that their rest is minimal; only able to shut their eyes off when the computer took quite a long time in computing the data. They were able to have a few meals on the first few days of their project, but lately they've been chugging coffee and eating instant ramen instead, wanting to keep watch and make sure everything is just right. Just perfect.

Aster sighed as they stretched their arms up. "I'm gonna treat myself with some delicious burgers after this..." they said. The deersky fixed their messy ponytail as they eyed the table. They noticed the various cups of ramen around and chuckled. "Maybe some actual ramen, too."

But that is if they're finished with this project. The deer-husky sighed. This is one project where they don't want to get things wrong.

And now with the final leg of their experiment within reach, all they had to do was to wait and make sure everything is-

*BEEP**BEEP*

Aster groaned, the familiar alarm sounded off from their computer as they sat up straight, eyeing the error messages on the screen. "Ugh...great, more errors."

They fixed what they could of their strewn appearance before they, once again, let their paws tap away at the keyboard, their focus switching between the screen, their notes, and the experiment as they focused on their work.

The deersky is immensely focused, their blue eyes narrowed, that they did not notice their roommate arriving at all despite such a bombastic entrance.

Without even a warning, the door got pushed harshly, making a loud slamming sound as a tall, buff red panda made his presence known to his roommate.

"I'm home, little Aster~!" Tang the red panda screamed at the top of his lungs. The hunky red panda let himself in, not even waiting for a response as he quickly turned on the lights. The blast of light illuminated their shared room and revealed the messy state of the room, courtesy of the deersky.

Speaking of, the red panda saw the deersky not even flinch at the sudden brightness of the room and he simply sighed as he came close to them, leaning on the deersky's computer chair as he greeted his little Aster. "Hey there, little deersky. Not even gonna greet your handsome, hunky roomie?"

The red panda did a proud flex of his arms, his tank top stretching as his muscles bulged. Tang was proud showing off his pumped-up biceps as he continued. "I had a good arms day today. Broke my PR even! Maybe if you kindly ask, I can let you touch...them..."

The red panda trailed off when he noticed that the deersky is ignoring him, too immersed with whatever they're doing.

Tang sighed. "Really, Aster? It's been days." And it has been, the red panda thought. While the first few days are fine, with the deersky reacting to his teasing, it was always at the last leg of each experiment where Aster is ignorant of his tomfoolery.

The disappointed red panda leaned further, looking at the gibberish at the screen before turning to the deersky. Aster looks messy, messier than usual if Tang were to be blunt, but they still look cute.

If only they actually notice him...

Tang hummed, thinking a bit before finally having an idea. "Hey, Aster."

"Hmm." A response, then silence. Alright, that's a start.

"I ate those chips you've been saving. The one behind the salads."

"Hmm...sure." Silence, again. Tang clicked his tongue, he was pretty sure that will rile them up. Time for a new plan.

"Aster, I found your porn stash under the bed. The one with the hunky orange dog."

"Hmmkay."

SIlence once more, and by this point Tang had given up in making the deersky react. "Ugh, I hate it when you're like this." He sighed, as he instinctively brushed his paws along his gold, ponytailed hair. Instead of trying to provoke them any further, Tang decided to look around their desk, trying to find anything useful.

"Wonder what is it this time?" he mused as he moved a bit closer, leaning his body closer.

Aster's inventions are always quite...fun to use, especially against the deersky. It didn't help that most of what the deersky made almost always does one thing or something similar. Tang merely chuckled, reliving a certain memory as he leaned against the chair with an arm.

He turned to the deer-husky sitting, seeing their lab coat wrinkled, their eyes and ears almost drooping, their hair messier than usual. Instead of their usual blue jacket, the deersky donned their lab coat underneath their plain black shirt and pants, and even those are wrinkled.

The red panda experimentally slid a finger against their antlers. Tang felt the velvety surface of the deersky's antlers as he let his fingers dance, trying to see if his roomie would react.

But nope, they're still focused. "Damn, this must be important." He's actually starting to feel bad with what they're about to do.

Almost.

Tang kept on staring between the computer and the deersky as he positioned himself, bringing an arm just below the deersky's vision, intent on giving them an impromptu gun show. Before he could even realize his plan, he noticed something was missing from the deer-husky, something that was integral to Aster's look.

"Hold on." Tang said. "Where is-"

But before he could continue that thought, the deersky pushed themselves away from their desk and shouted, making the red panda move backwards in surprise.

"I DID IT!"

Tang was about to ask when he felt the deersky's arms wrap around him, their face nestled in between his pecs as he started screaming and jumping for joy.

"I DID IT! I FINALLY FINISHED IT!"

The deer-husky was too happy, jumping around and hollering to notice that they were hugging the hunky form of their roommate, who is now smirking as he let his roommate hug him tightly, even hugging back with his muscled arms.

The two were like this for a few good minutes. Aster kept on hugging Tang unknowingly and the red panda was just waiting for the moment for them to realize that something was wrong.

And what luck! It wasn't long before Aster finally realized something. The inventor finally realized that hugging someone should be wrong because, as they just realized, they were initially alone.

Then who...?

Aster finally stopped jumping and decided to look straight in front, their muzzle in between some muscular chest, the light orange fur looked familiar as he unintentionally nuzzled them, their nose smelling the familiar scent of...

...their roommate.

"Oh."

Their blue eyes widened, their arms a bit slack as the deersky looked up, and saw the red panda looking down, an absolutely wide smirk on his face. It took a second or two, and Aster was about to let go and step back, say they're sorry and all that. But before they could let go, they were pulled closer by the smirking red panda, letting their two bodies collide; Tang's toned body with Aster's own slim body, with only their clothes in between.

Aster could feel themselves blush as the red panda's face moved closer to theirs, snout to snout as Tang smirked. "Well, someone just did a very good job, huh?"

Aster could feel their cheeks blushing, mumbling nonsense as they tried to say something. It was during this that reminded them of how different their bodies are with each other.

Tang's 6 foot body was muscled, toned and fit as the red panda had been going to the gym for a long time. Meanwhile, Aster's 5 foot 7 body is anything but muscled. Their frame is thinner and slim.

They could feel the red panda move their paws onto his pecs. The deersky couldn't control their hands, slightly squeezing the red panda's pecs before they felt his arms surrounding them, tightening his hold over them. Tang growled seductively, their grin just a bit wider and the deersky involuntarily shivered. "A good boy like you deserves a reward~"

Aster felt their face flush as they could feel those arms flex around them. They could see those pecs bounce, those mounds hitting their snout as the red panda kept on hugging them, surrounded by brawn.

It was like this for a good minute. Tang looked down at them like they were his next meal and the deersky gulped, their short, fluffy tail swishing around as they felt Tang's paws rubbing against their lower back.

They were convinced that the red panda would go further until...

"Pfft, HAHAHAHA! Oh, god you look so CUTE!" Tang shouted so suddenly, letting go of the flustered deersky who realized what just happened.

Aster's flustered blushing turned to indignant anger as they tackled the red panda. "T-TANG!"

The red panda's giggles turned to full-on laughter as the two collided on his bed on the other side of the room, feeling the light punches of his embarrassed roommate. It ended with the two slightly exhausted but in good spirits as they took their time to rest up a bit.

The deersky had already stopped punching the taller guy, sitting at the edge of the red panda's bed. They already knew they were no match to the guy who actually works out, but it was nice regardless.

Aster sighed, before letting their blue eyes glance at the red panda's form, laying with his front fully exposed. They could feel themselves looking at his muscled torso, those nicely sculpted abs and those strong pecs...

They immediately turned away once they felt a bit flushed, looking at their side of the room and cringing at the amount of trash scattered on their side. "Since when did you get here? I didn't even notice..."

"You barely notice anything once you're focused, little Aster." Tang said, stretching his body and making his muscles bulge. He laughed when he saw his roommate turn away from him as he continued. "I arrived a good few minutes before you hugged me."

The deersky hummed in thought, tapping their fingers on the wooden bedframe as the red panda sat up beside them. "That thing you're working on is done, right?"

"Almost, just have to power it up." Aster said as they went back to their desk already typing something on their keyboard. The red panda stood up, curious about what the deersky had made this time.

Before he joined them, Tang looked at the right side of the desk and saw Aster's metal shelf. It contains almost all of their inventions and was protected with two kinds of locks, and all of them are there because of Tang himself.

He snickered, proud of his handiwork before walking back to their roommate, now done typing on their keyboard. The red panda leaned on the chair, looking at all the gibberish on the screen, mostly on the loading bar at the very center. He didn't even pretend to understand what the deersky is doing, all he knows is that he likes every single end result.

"So, what has the genius little deersky created this time?" Tang said and the deersky stopped typing, turned around and narrowed their eyes.

Aster stood up straight, defiant in their stance as they crossed their arms and positioned themselves between Tang and the screens."It's nothing."

"Oh, come on Aster." Tang said, his mischievous grin showing. "Why the sudden animosity?"

Aster raised their brow at that and Tang full on laughed.

"See, I can use big words, too."

The deersky merely shook their head. "No! I'm not letting you near this one." The red panda chose to ignore what the deersky said and took a step closer, leading Aster to threaten him with a screwdriver they picked from their desk. "I mean it! Stay back!"

Tang's grin only widened at that, knowing that the deer-husky is all bark. "Come on. Don't you trust me with your inventions?"

That question only made the deersky comically angry as their grip on the tool only tightened. "No, I don't! And you know why?" Aster asked as they pointed to the locked shelf, filled with their other inventions. "Every time I build something and you volunteer to test it, it always, ALWAYS, ends up in me being a giant!"

The red panda merely chuckled at that last statement. "Well, not my fault you keep building stuff that makes people grow. A growth ray, growth pills, that one sweater that makes you grow when wearing it. You can't blame me."

It was true, almost all of Aster's inventions involve growing and whenever the red panda got involved in testing, it always ended up in Aster being a giant of various sizes, whether they like it or not. Aster could just imagine themself being many hundreds tall with the red panda laughing somewhere by their feet as he stood defiantly.

Tang's smirk almost sent shivers to the deersky as he got closer to the poor deersky. "Besides, it's not my fault you look SO good being a giant."

Aster blushed furiously at that, their hand shaking as they pointed the screwdriver shakily towards the red panda. "And that's exactly why I built an anti-growth collar!" Aster immediately covered their muzzle, but it was too late. The red panda quirked his brow before humming.

"Hmm...an anti-growth collar, huh?" Tang said as he stepped back, his interest waning now that he knew what it really is. "That's so boring! Come on, how about you make another one of your growth stuff?"

"I already have a lot of those." Aster said, pointing at the locked shelf right next to their computer. "Clearly you knew it because you keep using it all on me."

"And it took you a while for you to use a lock on the shelf."

"Because you keep stealing my experiments!"

Tang scoffed at that, showing his award-winning grin to the flustered deersky. "Like I said, I like my deerskies quite tall."

Before Aster could even have the time to sputter flustered gibberish, a loud ding alarmed the both of them that the power up was finally completed.

The jovial expression returned as the deersky ran to his desk to remove all the wirings connected to their experiment, the curious and mischievous red panda following suit. Tang saw the way Aster moved with both precision and excitement and Tang just chuckled. 'They're pretty excited over this, huh?'

Tang saw them pull out all the wirings carefully and eventually they brought their newest experiment in the air, and the red panda was simply surprised at what they're holding.

"Oh, so that's where it is." Tang said as he moved closer to find a certain accessory on his roommate's paws. "You look incomplete without it."

The 'it' in this case is Aster's very own collar. An accessory that was almost synonymous to their name, something that the deersky is never seen without. It was a simple red leather collar with gold metal trimmings, a tag with their name engraved on it. The deersky was never caught not wearing this, so looking at Aster now without it felt wrong.

"Yup, I was trying to figure out if there's a way to properly suppress growth by scientific means, and I was thinking of using something that is easily wearable." Aster said, as they showed the collar to their friend. "I don't have any extra accessories available, and I don't wanna use your stuff, so I used my collar to test it out."

"Neat." was the only reply from the red panda, still getting used to seeing Aster collarless. The deersky just looked naked without it, and to be fair he HAD seen Aster naked many times but they were still wearing the collar all those times.

Tang tried to distract himself from thinking about numerous poses naked Aster would do by asking another question. "You haven't tested it out, yeah?"

"Yup, at least not in a practical, non-simulated scenario." Aster said, though looking back at the red panda's expression, they decided to explain further. "I've only mostly done calculations, I still haven't tested it in actuality."

The red panda hummed at that, before he got an extremely great idea. Hiding his smirk at the deersky, he snapped his fingers and pointed to himself with a big smile on his face. "Then let me-"

"No."

The suddenness of the statement only made Tang laugh. "Oh, come on! I wasn't even finished."

"And I'm telling you, no." Aster said as they held the collar tightly against them.

"Come on, what's the worst that could happen?" Tang said, clearly having a plan in mind with the way they smirked. "Besides, you'll eventually need someone to experiment with. Why not me?"

Aster had already hypothesized a lot of scenarios in their head on how this could lead to them being a giant once more. Tang is a good friend, but with all the things that happened in the past, they cannot trust him to join another experiment...

...on the other hand, he was right. Aster needed to test it someday, and Tang was available most of the time. That and...well, most of their friends don't know of their 'hobby'. Only Tang and a few handful people knew, and as much as they hate to admit, Tang was the only one free until much later in the year.

It took a while, the red panda kept his smile while the deersky frowned. Aster was in a bind, and they knew that he knew about this ordeal. The deersky whined, as much as they didn't want to...

In the end, they sighed as they finally gave the collar to the red panda. "Let me just get the growth ray."

Tang merely chuckled as he grabbed the collar as gently as he could. Tang was about to wear it when he received a warning from the deer-husky. "Don't do anything yet!"

"No promises!"

Aster merely sighed as he looked around their desk to find the keys for the shelf. Meanwhile, the red panda is busy eyeing the accessory around.

It looks like a normal collar, feels like one too. He held this exact collar many times now, so he knew that nothing changed much, on the outside at least. He really didn't bother with checking the insides. The last time he did that, he almost actually broke Aster's experiment.

As much as he wanted to tease Aster, he wouldn't want to undo all of the deersky's hard work like that.

"Come on...where is it?" Aster said, searching over their desk for those keys.

The red panda turned to the frantic deersky and couldn't help but chuckle. "You really should've cleaned up first. It looks messy as hell."

"Sure, dad."

"Keep calling me that and I'll make sure the only thing you'll call me is daddy~"

The laughing red panda had to dodge a ball of crumpled paper thrown at him, as the deersky kept on searching for their keys. Finally, after minutes of searching, they did. "Oh, here it is."

Tang saw the deersky almost frolicking to the shelf and he merely laughed. Aster looked at them in confusion. "What's wrong?"

Tang has his lips curled into a grin and chuckled. "Someone's getting tired of growing."

"Hey!"

"I mean it! Why make an ANTI-growth collar? The little deersky tired of being a giant?"

"That's EXACTLY why I'm making this." Aster said, narrowing their eyes on the grinning red panda. They decided to continue unlocking the shelf as they continued. "Did you forget about-"

"Yeah, yeah. You've said it many times now." Tang said, now sitting down on his bed. "But c'mon Aster. Don't you enjoy the growth?" Tang said, memories so vivid of when the deersky towered over the skyscrapers. "Remember the time you went around the city, taller than anything? I CLEARLY saw you having fun, little Aster~"

The deersky hated to admit it, but they couldn't refute that as they fumbled around with the key. The various experiences he had were...exhilarating no doubt, but there are so many cases of them growing into a giant, either by accident or by the red panda himself that they were starting to get sick of it.

At least, just a little bit.

Aster shook their head as they finally opened up the shelf and was bombarded by the sights of their own creations; pill bottles and various items, all of their functions virtually the same. They carefully pushed away all the other stuff they had here and immediately grabbed the growth ray hidden deep inside.

Meanwhile, the curious and mischievous red panda eyed the collar and smirked. The deersky is busy grabbing the growth ray from their shelf and Tang can't help but grin. He cleared his throat as discreetly as possible as the red panda put his plan into motion.

It's time.

With a bit of flourish, the red panda started pretending to tinker with the collar and almost hollered. "Hmm...I wonder what this thingy does?"

"Huh?" The deersky quickly turned around, only for them to be horrified at the sight of his friend tampering with their creation, his paws slightly tearing at the insides of the collar.

Aster immediately ran towards the red panda and grabbed the collar out of his paws. They glared at the smirking Tang, the red panda had the audacity to blep like the fucker that he is, before checking the collar.

The deersky immediately turned the collar all around, checking if anything was ruined, and they sighed in relief when nothing was wrong with it. Nothing visible, at least.

"Aww. Aster, I was just checking it out." Tang said so cheekily as he tried to grab the collar from them, but Aster pulled it back.

"No more!" Aster said as they put the collar on their own neck. The sight of Aster with their collar was admittedly a refreshing sight for the red panda.

The deersky then glared at the red panda who just smirked at them. "We'll just have to test it on myself then. I can't trust you with this new invention of mine."

"And you sure you can trust me with that?" Tang said, pointing at the growth ray at the deersky's paws and Aster gulped at the prospect of Tang with the ray. They shook their head, however. Rather something he knew how to use than this new one.

Besides, the collar is bound to work, right? They worked hard on this one so surely it would negate the growth, right?

...right?

"Not like I have a choice..." Aster sighed as they gave the growth ray to a smirking Tang, the former clearly nervous at this arrangement, but the collar had to be tested one way or another.

Though, the sight of the red panda grinning ear to ear with the ray in his hand is nerve wracking. They had no choice at this point, it's now or never.

The two positioned themselves a good 10 feet away or so from each other, following Aster's own protocols. As much as they don't want to admit, Tang is quite nice to have as an experiment partner since he at least follows them carefully. Pretty much all the 'accidents' are caused because, as he said, 'he likes them tall'.

Tang took his spot and pointed the ray to the deersky a wide grin on his face as he prepared to fire. "Ready to test, little Aster?"

Aster took a deep breath, then nodded. "Yeah. Hit me hard, now!"

Silence filled the room at Aster's statement. The deersky suddenly blushed at the implication of what they said and Tang merely grinned. "Knew you were one kinky fucker, but not like that."

"JUST DO IT!"

Tang laughed as he finally fired the ray at the blushing Aster. The deersky immediately closed their eyes, feeling the familiar blast of energy hit them. They took a step due to the recoil, but they knew this due to their many experiences, so they were ready.

This time, though, everything feels weird. They could feel the blast of energy, but not the energy coursing through their body. It was like something was blocking the energy flow...

...the collar!

"Yes! It's working!" Aster screamed. They hadn't opened their eyes yet, still basking at the lack of energy flowing through them. They feel so giddy, it actually worked!

Tang is smiling, too! But for a different reason entirely.

"I don't know, little Aster. You might wanna open your eyes~"

That made all the elation the deersky felt dropped down. Suddenly, they felt nervous opening their eyes, but they have to.

So they did, they opened their eyes and looked down.

"Oh."

That's the only thing that Aster could say as they saw their body grow taller and taller, their clothes stretching to fit their growing frame. All around them, everything seemed to shrink, the ground looking further and further away as they could feel inches adding up to their height. They tried to move their limbs and all it did was tear off the sleeves of their lab coat.

Aster was immensely confused as they grabbed the collar. "I don't understand. I don't feel the energy flow, and yet..."

Before they could continue, the energy dissipated immediately. Aser looked over their newly grown body to inspect the damage. Their clothes look a few sizes smaller, their shirt rising past their stomach, their pants now look like shorts. They turned to the red panda coming closer and their eyes widened as they stood straight.

The size difference between them is reversed. The red panda now stood just an inch below their chest, which means that Aster is now standing taller than 7 feet, maybe around 8 feet tall. They could feel their antlers graze the ceilings as they flopped around their new limbs like a newborn fawn and sighed dejectedly. "Guess it didn't work at all."

"What made you so sure earlier that it did?" Tang asked and Aster could feel it was genuine curiosity this time.

"I didn't feel the energy flowing." Aster mumbled as he looked around, playing around with their now small clothes. It felt so tiny against their new size. "I thought that the collar was blocking the growth but apparently it just blocked the feeling. Such a shame..,"

Aster's stomach dropped as they heard the growing cackles of a certain red panda. They looked down and saw the horrifying sight of a smirking Tang holding the growth ray.

"Such a shame, indeed little Aster~" Tang cackled as he slowly stepped back.

"Tang, don't you dare." Aster said, baring their teeth as the red panda chuckled evilly.

"Don't I dare...what?" The red panda pointed the ray towards the deer, their gold eyes glinting. "You mean...fire another time?"

"Tang, I swear if you did th-get back here!" Aster suddenly shouted as Tang stood further away, already positioning to the safe distance needed to fire the ray again. Aster was trying to reach them but stopped when their antlers hit the lights. Aster became incredibly self-aware of how tall they really were, as they gingerly maneuvered around.

Tang knew of this as he stepped back more and more, sending the deersky in a panic.

"Just stand still, little Aster~"

"Tang, I swear if you-!"

Too late! The red panda had already fired another blast. The deersky stepped backwards because of the recoil of the hit and already they could feel themselves growing again.

"Oh, this is bad..." Aster could see their body lengthen, each limb getting bigger and longer as their clothes fully ripped off, unable to handle their new, still-growing size. They felt their antlers push against the ceiling and have to crouch down, and yet they could see that their growing body was becoming too much for the room as they grew 10 feet tall and still growing.

Tang, meanwhile, is enjoying the sights of his roommate growing once more. He looked all around him and saw how Aster's limbs started pushing away everything to make room for the growing deersky. He had to step away, back on the wall as the deersky kept filling up the room despite sitting down on their rump.

Aster could feel their back hit the walls as more and more of the space was occupied by their growing, naked body. They folded themselves as much as they could, but it was still no use as they reached 18 feet tall with no end in sight.

"Filling up the room so cutely, aren't you?" Aster heard Tang speak despite the chaos inside the room. They were becoming cramped inside here, thoughts about destroying the room to break free is starting to sound nice as they just kept on growing...

Good thing, then that the energy had run out, the room spared of its destruction. Aster looked all around them, the beds and other furniture, now smaller than their torso, were destroyed as they filled the room with their 20 foot tall gray-furred body. They took deep breaths, trying to calm themselves, but there was too much on their mind.

First, the collar didn't work. Or at least not entirely, as it somehow managed to block the feeling of the energy flow, not the flow entirely. The leather accessory managed to grow alongside them, something they slightly expected at least.

Second, they are fully naked now! Aside from their glasses and collar, the deersky is naked from head to toe. They could feel the room's cold air brushing against their gray fur as they looked down and sputter embarrassed noises as they saw their private parts in the open.

Aster flushed red so intensely as they covered their sheath from the grinning red panda, who just laughed at them. They could only cover their sheath as much as they can't move their limbs around that freely, lest they break the walls.

Aster blushed hard as the red panda looked around the room, admiring the 20 foot tall deersky filling the entire room. They flinched as a small paw rubbed against their inner thigh, almost near their groin and it was enough for them to whine. "T-Tang! Shrink me now!"

"Aaaaand, why would I do that?" Tang said, still admiring the state of his roommate. The deersky felt Tang's paws rub around their inner thigh, going to the base of their sheath and around their balls as the red panda rubbed more softly, making Aster whine.

Tang growled teasingly as he kept on stimulating and teasing the increasingly flustered deersky.. "Look at the cute giant blushing~ You want me to shrink when you look and feel THIS good?"

"Tang, not the time!" Aster said, fighting the redness of their cheeks. They were trying to move, but aside from Tang making them whine, doing so would only dent the walls further with their longer limbs. They look back to their roommate, grinning slyly as the red panda climbed up their body. "What are you doing?"

"Hmm? Oh, nothing~" Tang teased as he successfully climbed up, their body so small compared to the giant deersky. Tang smirked as he walked all over the Poor Aster, who felt every step Tang made. Their face turned red as they could feel tiny footsteps all around their body as Tang wordlessly danced around their torso, small paws stepping over them and making them whine and groan.

The deersky let out a whine as Tang walked closer to their head, footfalls heavy enough as he crossed Aster's midsections, then chest, then finally stood face to face with the whining giant. The size difference between the two is insane, and yet the red panda dared to rile them up further.

"Look at you, so flustered. You like this?" Tang hugged Aster's snout, caressing it with his small paws. The poor deersky whined, their face flushed with the contact as they closed their eyes and yet they could vividly imagine how small the red panda is compared to them, as they could feel Tang's hot breath against their enlarged muzzle.

The movement stopped eventually, but those chuckles rang out loud in their ears. Aster could just feel the teasing smirk coming from Tang as they prepared for Tang's next move.

They waited for 10 seconds, 20, 30...

They were prepared for everything, really. Tang was in control despite the size difference. So when they felt the red panda back down, stepping away from their head, then eventually jumping down their body, they let out a loud sigh. They opened their eyes and saw that the red panda had left. "Tang?"

That made the deersky panic a little. The 20 foot tall Aster looked around almost frantically around the room as much as they could. It was only when they heard a whistle coming from outside did they notice the red panda, already outside with a grin on their face...

...standing more than 10 feet away from them.

Aster could feel their stomach drop as the red panda pointed the ray back at the deersky. Tang is chuckling evilly as he steps back a few more times to make sure and Aster could actually feel dread washing over them. "Tang? TANG?! Don't you fucking dare!"

"How about you come here and make me, little Aster~"

Aster gulped as they looked around them, trying to move their limbs. They were completely stuck! Any more height and they will destroy the apartment!

"Put the ray down, Tang!" Aster said, and the red panda merely chuckled.

"I can't hear you~"

Aster took a moment before they mumbled 'fuck it' and started moving. They didn't care for the things inside the room, they just had to grab the ray from Tang and everything will be fine.

"Whoops!"

Aster shouted a loud 'FUCK!' as the ray has been fired. Aster felt the blast knocking them back down from their original position and already they could see the energy making them grow again. Their paws shot through the surrounding walls, their antlers did the same with the ceiling as it pierced through the second floor. They were growing a foot a minute, much faster than earlier.

Amidst all this destruction, Aster was able to say one thing before the building came down...again.

"Run!"

Tang didn't need to be told twice. The red panda happily ran outside the apartment as the deersky gained height at an alarming rate, outgrowing the entire room and, slowly, the entire floor. They could feel the walls tore down like plaster against their growing limbs, destroying every room and floor. Their torso shot up, their head climbing floor after floor. They could feel the outside breeze as their back destroyed the wall behind them. Aster was immensely relieved that they lived on the first floor, though it would be better if they stopped growing.

As the very walls of the apartment broke down, Aster could feel the growth still going. The once tall apartment crumbled before them as their growing body broke the foundations and more. They could feel their ass over the familiar concrete of the sidewalk as they scooch away from the buildings behind the apartment,intent on not destroying more buildings. It wasn't until a few more minutes till they were finally done with growing.

Aster sighed in relief, now looking all over for the damages. Aside from the apartment, none of the buildings seemed to be destroyed. They saw the streetlamps and trees reach up only to their chest, and they were sitting down. The deersky estimated that they were about 50 feet tall now; about 10 times larger than the average person.

They felt the wind breezed past their body as they tried to calm down, taking deep breaths...

...before they remembered they were currently naked.

Aster screamed, their face redder than a tomato as they looked at their body, thankful that the rubble of the apartment was covering their private parts away from the public. The downside is that they can't stand up at all, which means they're once again stuck.

Aster tried to calm themselves down, mumbling "Fuck, I should have worn my stretchable clothes..."

"Come on, little Aster. Not like it's your first time~"

A sudden, teasing voice came to break through their embarrassed thinking. It was then they were reminded about a certain red panda. They look around, hopeful that the red panda is safe.

And there he was, standing beside them with the ray still in hand. Tang was merely chuckling as the deersky just felt flustered over this. They should have just called the experiment off if the result is just being a giant again!

"Tang! Shrink me down, now!" Aster said as they were about to stand up, but instead stopped when they remembered their clothing problem, or lack thereof. The deersky remained laying down on their back as the red panda ran up towards them. The buff red panda looked small against their body as they chuckled.

"And why would I do that?"

"Because you have the ray!"

The duo's banter was halted when they heard car horns blaring about. The two looked at the streets, Aster getting a good view due to their height, and saw that a lot of cars and vehicles had pooled around the deersky. Apparently, Aster is sitting downright at the middle of the street, their ass blocking the driveway. They could see cars piling around both sides of the deersky as they kept on honking.

"Told you your fat ass will be a problem sooner or later."

The giant deersky turned to their small friend with the ray in flustered panic. "Not the time, Tang! Just shrink me now! Please!"

Tang merely placed a paw on his chin, humming around as if ignorant of the pleas of the giant. "I don't know...You could just stand up, Aster."

"You know I can't do that!"

"And why not?"

"Because I'm NAKED, TANG!"

"And?"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'AND?'?!"

The blaring car horns somehow got louder, the amount of vehicles doubled during their banter. Panicked, Aster turned to face the small red panda with a pleading face. "TANG, PLEASE!"

"Eh..."

"TANG!!"

Tang finally relented, or at least acted like it as he fiddled with the ray. "Fine, fine. Let me just..."

The deersky were tapping their fingers on the concrete sidewalk, almost panicking as they looked around and saw more and more cars surrounding either side of them. As much as they wanted to just stand up, they simply couldn't, lest they inadvertently flash their private parts to the public. They sighed, they were REALLY starting to regret not wearing at least their stretchy boxers before this.

They look back to their friend who is busy fiddling with the ray and at this point, the deersky is 100 percent certain that Tang is just stalling.

'...he most certainly is.', Aster thought. Tang certainly used the shrink function of that ray last time, so he knows, and yet they can't do it now?

They can't see that grin, but they could just feel it. 'Fucking panda...'

One minute, two, three minutes had gone past and the car noises below were getting louder and louder. The deersky was practically shaking as they struggled with the increasingly chaotic mess they had found themselves until they decided to finally take action.

"FINE!"

With their face redder than it should be, the deersky pushed themselves up to their full height, removing the rubble from their body. Their footpaws made the ground shake a bit as they stood in their full 50 feet tall height. It would have been an awe-inspiring sight if it weren't for the fact that the giant is almost stumbling to cover their sheath, their tail, floundering about and their face redder than a chili pepper.

The giant deersky decided not to look down for a while, not until most of the cars had passed safely. As the streets had calmed down, they heard a whistle coming from below which elicited another flustered whine from the giant. They looked down to see Tang looking at them, grinning and it just made the deersky seethe in embarrassed anger.

Tang merely chuckled at the sight. "Looking like the red giant there, little Aster."

The deersky merely whined, their ears flopping around. "Are you DONE?!"

The red panda merely waved the arm holding the ray. "Yeah, yeah, it's done. Back off a bit."

Aster sighed in relief, considerably calmed down as they did what was asked, making sure the protocol is still followed. The red panda fired the now-shrink ray at the deersky. Aster could only sigh in relief as their body finally shri-

...they're growing. Aster widened their eyes when the ground below them grew further away, their limbs growing longer as they grew bigger and taller than before.

"TANG!!" Aster screamed as they're now a 60-foot tall giant towered over the buildings. They could still feel their limbs lengthened, their torso stretching up and up as they continue to make the buildings around them look small.

Aster could feel their body stretching longer and taller as they saw the buildings shrink in their view. What once stood taller than their chest now slowly going down and down with no stopping. "Where are you Tang?!" They angrily shouted as they scoured the distancing ground. Losing sight of the red panda is a danger at this point, especially if he still has the ray.

The deersky tried to walk around, but their legs suddenly surged in length, making them stumble. Aster screamed as their legs grew more and more, losing their balance, their limbs flailing about as they could feel themselves falling.

"Oh, fuck ME!!"

They could feel the ground shake as they landed, their ass hitting the concrete and making the ground shake. They were thankful that no cars were under them, or at least they hoped there wouldn't be...

They looked around and gulped. They were sitting at the crossroads just near the apartment, their legs took one street each because of how large they are at this point. Aster could see their legs lengthen and grow for every breath they take, now longer than buses and yet still growing longer. Their point of view kept on rising higher and higher and it made their spine tingle with how fast their growth is going, how smaller everything is becoming.

The deersky could feel their balls hit the ground, their shaft slightly peeking from their sheath as the pleasure was too much. They gritted their teeth, trying to hold it all in, just until the growth slowed down.

It was a relief then that the growth finally stopped and the energy dissipated a few seconds later. Despite sitting down, they had the same view as they had when they were standing up earlier, probably even higher.

"Shit, 100 feet already..." They cursed as they brought their paws to their head, combing through their hair as they sighed.

"I'm just glad that the growth ray isn't in full power..." Aster mumbled as they looked around. The buildings around them looked so small in their eyes as they thought what could have been if the red panda decided to go full jackass. If the growth ray was in full power then they would have reached a thousand feet right now.

They tried to push themselves up, but decided not to. At this point, their height is a severe disadvantage, making it hard for them to look for Tang. That, and they didn't want to stumble again, if ever.

Aster nodded to themselves as they began to look down the streets, making sure to properly scour the area. They tried to focus on searching, but being surrounded by small buildings that barely reached the middle of their stomach despite sitting down is too much for them.

The deersky shook their head, they could feel their shaft pulsing with that one thought, but they had to focus. They breathe in and out of their gritted teeth as they keep searching for Tang, looking around each building within the vicinity. "Come on...where are you?"

"Over here, little Aster~"

Aster quickly looked around, trying to find the source of the voice. The red panda merely chuckled as he screamed once more. "Look in front of you!"

They looked down in front of them and saw just the guy they're looking for at the building just in front of them. Tang was standing tall and proud, arms crossed while still holding the ray, but he's not looking at the deersky's face, but instead looking straight ahead at the deersky's sheath.

Aster blushed immensely as they covered their sheath once more, making the red panda laugh as he walked closer and leaned on the edge, a wide grin on his face. "Aw, come on! I had a nice view of something rising."

The distinct cackles of their friend just made them burn with anger and embarrassment. They leered down from their perspective, eyes trained on the laughing red panda. It should have terrified the normal person, but Tang knew Aster quite well that the sight of the giant leering down on him is just so cute.

"Aw, someone's being a cute, angry giant."

"TANG! You did that last blast on purpose!" Aster screamed and the red panda had the gall to snicker and shrug at the deersky's state.

"Whaaaaat? Nah~" Tang said, waving the ray around like it was nothing, slowly backing away from the looming giant deersky.

Aster tilted their head, not knowing what the red panda's next move was...

It was then fired another blast of the growth ray at the towering deersky, jumping at the sudden blast as they could feel their body growing again. "TANG!"

"Now THAT", the red panda said, "Is on purpose."

Aster's face became even redder than the red panda as they saw their legs filling out the streets, growing proportionally thicker as they grew taller and longer. The buildings stood lower for every second Aster grew taller and their mere 100 feet tall height surged to 120...130...then a large spurt jumped their height to 150 feet tall, the pleasure so much that the deersky let out a pleasured moan.

Aster covered their muzzle with their paws and they could hear the red panda laughing below despite the chaos their growing body is causing. Their ass, proportionally growing is slowly filling up the crossroads, their sheath now bumping on the very building Tang is.

They gritted their teeth as they glared at the red panda who is now massaging the base of their sheath. Aster had to bite their lip as the tiny, tiny paws of their roommate roamed around their groin. "Tang, j-just shrink me now!"

"And why would I do that?" Tang said, rubbing more and more of the sheath that loomed over him, hispaws would have done nothing, but the deersky is too stimulated that even the tiny Tang could make Aster whine. "You look real cute when you're a flustered giant."

Aster sputtered a lot of gibberish, feeling even more flustered as they kept on growing and growing. Their legs were starting to fill the streets, the sides of thighs bumping against the buildings as they kept on growing.. Their torso lengthened, their ass filled the crossroads, the deersky is just growing bigger with almost no end in sight.

"S-stop it already." Aster said through gritted teeth. They were breathing heavily now as they could feel their bones lengthen, their skin stretching to fit their growing frame as they grow taller and taller. They estimated their height to be almost 200 feet tall now and yet it still won't stop.

"I'm serious!" Tang said, clearly enjoying how the giant deersky squirmed on their position. "Gotta love a cute, giant who is too flustered to do anything."

Aster was barely even listening, trying to contain their arousal amidst all this stimuli. With Tang fondling their sheath and the feeling of growth, it was harder and harder to hold on to what little decency they have left.

Tang is certainly not helping, especially when he kept riling the deersky with his touches and teasing. "Look at the cute giant. You like this, admit it~" The red panda shouted, but he knew that he could barely be heard from all the stimuli the deersky is feeling.

Aster covered their mouth as another moan tried to escape. They were just thankful that the growth is slowing down, at least. They probably passed 200 feet by now, nothing short of being 210 feet. The deersky could feel relieved as the energy dissipated.

They took stock of their surroundings, their torso taller than most apartments. Even while sitting down, they were on par on some of the more taller buildings in the area, already close to skyscraper territory. They can't even imagine how huge they would be when standing up.

They sighed in relief, the growth finally done as they leaned down on their elbows...

...only for relief to instantly turn to panic when they felt the energy once more. The loud cackles of the red panda can be heard as they felt their body growing once more. Aster looked at the smug red panda, who simply shrugged.

"What?"

"TANG!"

Aster let out a loud moan as more of the pleasure kept building up on their body. Their backside is now slowly pushing against the nearby buildings, the crossroads now filled with their rump as the surge kept on going.

What's making this worse is that, somehow, the red panda had started climbing up their body. The small grips of Tang's tiny paws against their growing body is making it worse for the gigantic deersky, as if their growth is making the sensations ten times more powerful.

Despite their protest, their body simply can't handle the amount of stimuli anymore. Their shaft finally got out of their sheath, the sight looks incredibly delicious from Tang's perspective as the deersky's cock towered over even him.

The red panda smirked as he climbed more and more of the body, made easier when the deersky leaned on their elbows, their torso slanted just enough for Tang to easily trek towards their head. Though it was still hard since the deersky just kept on growing, Aster breathing so hard just makes this worse.

Aster, on their side, is trying so hard to keep whatever left of their modesty in check, not helping that their shaft is standing taller than most people. With that, the growth, and Tang slowly climbing up their torso, the deersky is panting hard to keep themselves collected.

It was when they heard the chuckles of a familiar red panda did they grit their teeth once more. "T-Tang..."

"Just look at you. Enjoying this aren't you, little Aster?" Tang said as he finally climbed up to be near the deersky's head. Aster's head towered over him and yet it was Tang who was in full control of the situation.

Aster winced as Tang stroked his increasingly smaller hand on their cheek as the red panda chuckled evilly. The deersky laid down as much as they could, leaning their back on the buildings below as they slowly moved their paws on their shaft, the rod already slick as Aster panted hard.

They gripped their dick hard, as if to stop the burning feeling on their groin as the growth continued. They had passed 300 feet, already 350 and the energy was still there. The feeling of buildings getting smaller on their back, Tang increasingly becoming tiny, the growth; it was all too much, but Aster kept their cool as much as they could as they finally hit 400 feet tall.

"Yeah...who's my cute little giant?~" Tang whispered and it made the deersky's fur bristle.

Aster's breath hitched as they could feel the red panda hug what he could of their head. Tang felt like an ant, felt smaller than an ant against them and the deersky whined even more. Their growth was slowly crawling to a halt, something that they were waiting for.

As the growth finally slowed down so that it wasn't too debilitating for the deersky, Aster silently moved a paw away from their shaft and near the red panda who was still hugging them. The deersky waited for the right moment, gritting their teeth in the meantime as they could feel the energy slowly disappear, then...

*SLAP*

Aster heard the muffled shouts of the red panda, now enveloped by their mighty paw as they slowly stood up. They didn't even dare look anywhere but straight ahead. They don't want to see how tall they are compared to these measly buildings, or how gigantic they have become.

They just slowly stood, using their free paw to push them up. Aster tried so hard to not notice how small everything was when they stood on their full 450 height. Still, their eyes wandered about, looking far ahead of them and gasped silently.

The view of the city is just mesmerizing at this angle. They had to admit, this was one of the positives of being this size, aside from easy walking and whatnot.

...of course, they could have enjoyed it better if they had clothes on.

"Mmph!"

Or if a certain red panda isn't here to ruin their experiment.

The deersky curled their paw into a fist, making sure they're holding Tang within their paw. The giant stood 450 feet tall, buildings nearby barely reached their knees as they brought him closer. Their blue eyes trained on the tiny red panda who stopped struggling and simply smirked.

Tang chuckled, clearly not even scared at the 450 foot tall giant deersky glaring at them. "Well, someone's angry."

"You think?!" Aster growled as they brought the red panda closer to their face. "You made me a giant again."

"I'll keep repeating it, little Aster. I like my deerskies giant." Tang held on to the paw as he was shaken by the deersky, and yet he just laughed at the show of power. "I know you're enjoying this."

Aster's face burned red once more, but this time, they decided it was time to stop. "Shrink me now, Tang!"

The two are locked in a staredown, tiny orange eyes of the grinning red panda against pool-sized blue eyes of the embarrassed deersky; not once did both waver as they did this for minutes.

Eventually, the red panda sighed as he grabbed the ray from his pocket. "Fine, fine. Just let me go and bring me down so I can shrink you."

"No."

"What?"

Aster narrowed their eyes. "I want you to adjust the ray to 'Shrink', right in front of me."

Tang chuckled as he waved around the ray gun with his hand. "Aw, come on. The little deersky doesn't trust me anymore."

Aster sighed, placing a paw on their waist as they eyed their roommate with disdain. Tang gasped dramatically and Aster couldn't help but groan.

"But why? I was just helping you test the collar!"

Aster had to admit, they had forgotten about the collar. They let the red panda do their dramatics as they let their free paw land on the accessory, still hanging by their neck. It had grown alongside them, but it was ultimately useless in the end.

They gazed back to the red panda, still doing their dramatics as he waved his arms around.

"I did what you wanted and now you're gonna-AH!"

The two saw it, saw the ray slip out of the red panda grasp. The ray fell a long, long way down, the two could barely move as the ray was now out of their grasp. The two stopped breathing for a moment, staring at each other, too frozen to speak or move. They were silent for a few good moments until the red panda chuckled nervously.

"U-uh...whoops?"

Tang could feel the paw grasping them tightening. The red panda is actually nervous for his state of being as they expected the deersky go on a destructive rampage befitting of their size. He opened his mouth, trying to say something to save the city, or at least himself when the deersky did something else.

They weren't angry, they were on the verge of tears.

"T-the ray..." Aster whimpered , their ears flat on their head as tears started forming on their eyes. Their grip on the red panda loosened a bit as Tang started panicking.

"H-hey, Aster! No, uh, it's okay!" Tang hurriedly said as he waved his arms. "Aster, here! Look at me!"

The teary blue eyes looking at him made Tang flinch, just looking at them made Tang guilty. He struggled to think of anything, before snapping his fingers. "You made the ray indestructible right? So it should be fine, right?"

The deersky sniffled before nodding, and Tang is starting to think a crying deersky is worse than a rampaging one. "So it should be fine, right?" Aster started to grovel and the red panda panicked. "I mean, it IS fine! Little Aster won't make something that bad, eh?"

"T-the collar..."

Tang gulped as he looked at the giant collar the equally giant deersky wore. The red panda decided to distract them for now, especially since he got a plan for that one.

"Look, how about you bring me down. I'll go find the ray then I'll shrink you."

The deersky is silent at that, and Tang was praying that the deersky would believe him. It wasn't until a few minutes till Aster spoke softly. "You swear?"

Tang raised his hand like a Boy Scout and nodded. "Scout's honor, Aster."

Tang sighed in relief as Aster calmed down considerably. The deersky is much better now as they wiped the tears off their face, though they did narrow their eyes a bit as they stared at the red panda. "You're...not even a scout."

"Just put me down, little Aster." Tang laughed as he was gently delivered by the giant deersky who crouched down and brought him to the nearest rooftop. The red panda took a relieved breath as he touched concrete as he turned to the crouching giant behind him.

"I'll be back in a bit. Don't go anywhere, little Aster."

"Not like I can go anywhere..."

Tang smirked. "Course you can! You never wanted to streak around the country naked?"

"TANG!"

The red panda laughed as he ran towards the rooftop door, intent on getting that ray...if no one ever caught it. Tang shook his head. "They better not..." he mumbled darkly.

Aster saw the red panda run down to the exit and sighed and stood up straight again. They decided to stretch their back and legs after sitting down for a while, though the comment on them being naked just made them aware again of their clothing situation, or lack thereof.

"Hah...it's no use. I'll just wait..." that said, as they slowly covered their now soft shaft with their paws.

They sighed in defeat, not even bothering anymore. They really should have worn those boxers...

***

"Aw, come on. Don't be mad at me like that."

Aster huffed as they hugged the blanket that covered their entire body. They were thankful that Aster did make the ray indestructible enough to survive that fall despite the height. The guilty Tang managed to shrink them down to their normal height, and Aster was just thankful to be back to their normal height.

Now, the two stood in front of the wrecked apartment. Tang managed to dig through the rubble and get a spare blanket for Aster for them to cover up their naked body, just until the wreckage was clear.

Still, the deer-husky narrowed their eyes to the red panda whose smile is strained, clearly guilty for almost breaking their beloved growth ray.

Tang merely chuckled as he wrapped an arm around their shoulders. "Look, I'm sorry. I got carried away, you know how I am."

The deersky scoffed, turning to the other side and the red panda merely sighed as he crossed his arms in contemplation. 'There's gonna be something that I can say...'

His eyes went back to the sulking deersky, looking at the streets before. Then his eyes trailed down and saw the growth ray in their grasp. Tang's eyes lit up as he smiled. Right, he forgot about that...

He pulled Aster against their body as he spoke softly. "You know the growth ray was in full power earlier, right?"

That made the deersky turn back to him. They backed out of the hug, their blue eyes looked like they were sparkling, filled with curiosity about what the red panda said. "Wait, what?"

"Yup! It was when I was gonna shrink you." Tang said, smiling brightly as his plan worked. "I set it to full power instead, but you only more than doubled instead of becoming titanic."

Aster's mind was reeling in with that information. They were in thinking mode, paw scratching their chin as they started mumbling. "But how could that happen? The growth ray in full power should have made me thousands of feet tall, especially since you fired like...thrice?"

Tnang nodded as he, too, went thinking. "Was pretty surprised you didn't turn into a titan. I mean, you still look good in that size, don't get me wrong."

Tang laughed when he felt a light punch on their arm, then continued. "Still...maybe you haven't maintained the ray?"

Aster shook their head, scratching their head fur as they looked over the ray. "That can't be, I was maintaining it in between in preparation for this experiment..."

As Aster said that, the duo looked at the collar by the deersky's neck. Aster held the leather collar with their paw, their face filled with newfound appreciation for their 'failed' experiment. "Is it because...the collar?"

The red panda snickered as he pulled the deersky back to them. "Well, it may not stop the growth entirely, but at least it nerfed it, right?"

Aster was suddenly amazed by the collar they made. "You're right!"

Tang chuckled as the deersky began rambling. Aster leaned on him, careful with their antlers, as they began hypothesizing and planning for the next experiment. The red panda is happy that, at least, the deersky isn't that mad at him anymore as he began ruffling the deersky's head fur.

The deersky's ramblings were stopped by an incredibly large yawn. The red panda chuckled at how cute the deer-husky is as they rub the tears from their eyes.

"Little Aster is kinda sleepy~"

"Fuck off..." Aster said, already wobbling. Their tiredness from all those sleepless days finally got the best of them as they yawned once more. It was then they felt someone sweeping them off their feet. "Wha-?"

Before they could properly react, the red panda had swept them off their feet, carrying them bridal style. "Tang?! What are you doing?"

"Carrying my tired little deersky. What else?"

The deersky became flustered once again, especially when more and more people were looking at the two of them. "Then why carry me like this?"

"You know me." was the only answer Tang said and the deersky merely whined as they covered their face with their paws.

Still, Aster complained no longer, and they had to admit, being carried like this is...nice.

They look over to their strong friend, the red panda smiling as he continues to carry them. Aster let out another yawn and Tang chuckled once more. The deersky realized that they were moving and decided to ask in between yawns. "Wait, where are we going?

"You have to rest, and since our apartment is destroyed, we're gonna go to Allum's place since he's nearby."

Aster nodded, too sleepy to think further, but that seems like a doable plan. "Do you think he would mind?"

"Nah, it'll be fine. Besides, that dragon owes me anyway. Like can you believe he ruined my...Aster?"

Tang merely chuckled as the deersky already fell asleep, tongue out even. The glasses are crooked as they snore peacefully.

Tang sighed as he kept on moving. The red panda took quick glances at his roommate, eyes filled with mirth as he whispered. "I really want to take a pic of you. Be glad my hands are full, little Aster~"

He was about to face forward, but his sights zeroed in on the ray, cradled by the sleeping deersky. Their hold on it is loose, very loose and maybe...

Tang smirked as he moved on. "Be very glad~"
