There is a calmness to Dean's smooth, handsome face. His smile is warming and his eyes beam with steadfastness. Despite your otherwise perilous size you start to feel as if you were as far from harm as you could possibly be, the quiet gaze of the giant above you being still and unthreatening. You had always believed in Dean's tolerant and caring nature, even if he rarely showed it in public. Even before you have spoken a word you sense a bond growing between you, forged only with the eye contact you have made, yet growing stronger by the second. He slowly reaches in, cupping your naked body in his two, broad hands, lifting you out from the the dank darkness of his gym bag. He places you onto his bed, the covers scrambled over the mattress and hanging haphazardly over the edge. He pulls over his desk chair and sits down, propping his socked feet onto the bed just behind you. You follow the line of his jeans up from the shin beside you to his groin, then up his shirt to his rugged jawline, still pleasantly smiling. You try to ignore the acrid smell of his sweaty feet steadily enveloping you, like a cloud of invisible fog slowly advancing from behind.
"I guess you want an explanation, right?" He says, sitting up, seemingly oblivious to the effects of his odorous socks. You nod in response, allowing him to continue. "Well, you know Luke in our class? He bought some weird stuff on the internet last week, wanting to have some fun. One of those things was some shrinking liquid. He didn't tell me where he put it or when he would use it, I half expected him to test it out on me first. Neither of us believed it would work, but I guess you're living proof that it does."
"Why would Luke want to shrink someone?" You shout, confused as to why the arrogant jock would want to mess around with tiny little men.
"I've known Luke for a long time. We're best mates, don't get me wrong, but he's got a thing for being in control. He loves feeling bigger and stronger than everyone else, which is why he's always in the gym or training. Normally he just unloads all that stuff onto me, but alately he's been gettin' bored, wanting to go to a new level. I've seen him when he's hyped up, and it isn't always pretty. To be honest, I thought the whole idea sounded kind of neat, but that his ego would be too much for him, or you, to handle. So when I saw you i figured it would be best for me to hold onto you untill I can find out how Luke is gonna' take it."
"What do you mean 'hold onto me'? Can't you help me get out of this? I mean, I don't want to be this size forever, I've got a life to lead!" You shout, getting agitated.
"Whoa, calm down dude. I couldn't help you anyway, if there is some sort of cure then Luke has it, so you'd have to stick with me untill then. Besides, I think this stuff is temporary." He pauses after leaving you lost for words. "Look, this doesn't have to be a bad thing. For the next few days you haven't got to worry about anythin'. Just relax and let me take care of it, and hopefully it will wear off before Luke even knows what's been going on."
There is a terrible mix of thoughts and emotions coursing through your head. Why does Dean almost fear Luke so much, the way he talks of him it's almost as if he's Luke's bitch or something. Yet the fact dean is in on this warrants caution, despite your intuition about him. Part of you wants to get back to full size and be out of this confusing situation, but the muggy heat from Dean's splayed feet conjures the desire to stay small at his mercy. If only you could run up to those soft, cotton clad soles and immerse yourself in that overwhelming scent. You can't help but look at their perfect shape, proudly poised , yet for all their elegance they are thick and meaty, the thin layer that clothes them plastered like a soaked rag to his tender flesh. You quickly turn back, realising he had been watching you oggle his feet.
