After a brief interval of uncomfortable silence, David walked to his
closet. "I've got to get out of these clothes," he said. "They reek of
the Big Burger."
From his location on David's bed, Bryan watched his giant friend pull
his T-shirt over his head. David tossed the garment on the floor.
David reached into his closet and took out a fresh shirt and slipped
it over his torso. He began to fasten the buttons as he stared across
the room at Bryan.
Bryan's mind reeled as he watched his friend. He had always thought of
David as a skinny guy. Now, his friend looked awesome and powerful.
And, in comparison, Bryan realized how puny and helpless he had
become.
David, in the meantime, pulled off his trousers, but suddenly realized
his erection hadn't completely subsided. He grabbed up the pants and,
holding them in front of him, excused himself to finish getting
dressed in his bathroom, which was adjacent to his bedroom.
In the bathroom, David pulled off his undershorts and freed his
erection. The thought of his shrunken friend on his bed in the next
room wouldn't allow his cock to deflate.
"Damn," David muttered. He pulled on some other shorts and put on some
baggy sweatpants over them. Maybe that would hide his boner from
Bryan.
He returned to his room, trying to act natural. "I feel much better
now," he said.
That's when he noticed that Bryan's head was hanging low. "Are you all
right?" David asked.
He moved closer. Bryan wiped his eyes. "Sure," he sniffed.
Obviously, Bryan had been crying. "What's the matter?" David asked
before realizing how stupid that question might sound.
"I'm 12 inches tall!" Bryan exclaimed.
"Yeah," David agreed. "I'm sure everything will work out."
"What if it doesn't?" Bryan demanded. He became upset and walked
across the bedcovers. "What happens then? I'm a freak! I don't
understand how this could happen."
David was at a loss for words. As he struggled to think, the
handkerchief that Bryan had been wearing, loosened by Bryan's agitated
movements, slipped off, leaving him naked in front of his friend.
David gulped air quickly and then muttered an "excuse me" as he ducked
back into the bathroom.
Bryan cursed and went to retrieve the handkerchief. As he tried to
arrange the cloth back on his body, David returned. "Bryan, I'll be
right back."
Bryan watched David leave the room. He felt ashamed of his emotional
outburst.
David returned a few moments later, Bryan's eyes fastened on his
friend's hands. For an instant, he thought David was holding two other
shrunken men.
Then, he recognized them. David held two action figures in his hands.
Bryan groaned as he realized that he was no bigger than a kid's action
figure.
"My brother's spending the night at a friend's," David explained. "I
got these from his room."
"Why?"
David smiled. "Maybe you could fit into their uniforms," he said.
Bryan looked back at the action figures. One was a superhero dressed
in blue and red. The other looked like a GI Joe and wore camouflage
fatigues.
He started to decline David's offer, but then realized the
handkerchief was a bit drafty and cumbersome. "All right," he said,
"but I want the fatigues."
David went right to work stripping the clothes off the GI Joe action
figure. His fingers worked deftly to soon leave the plastic action
figured denuded.
Bryan swallowed uncomfortably as he watched his friend's actions. In
his own mind, he saw David using his giant hands and fingers to strip
him of his garments.
"Here you go," David said. He dropped the fatigues on the bed next to
his friend.
Bryan shed the handkerchief and pulled on the action figure's
clothing. He felt even more humiliation when he realized the clothes
were a loose fit.
But, at least he was covered. He didn't have to parade about naked in
front of his giant friend. "Thanks, David. I owe you."
"I know it has been a weird day," David said. "Maybe we should get
some sleep and get a fresh start tomorrow on what to do next."
"Sounds good to me," Bryan said. "I should give my dad a call,
though."
"I could call him and let him know you're spending the night."
"That might be best," Bryan agreed.
After the phone call, David turned back to his friend. "Well, that
bought us some time. Your dad was cool about you staying over."
"Well, why shouldn't he be?"
"Yeah." David looked down at his friend. "Uh, maybe now we sh
