Zoey and I, we loved each other. It was true, we were head over heels.
But this...
This wasn't what either of us had in mind when others said we were inseparable.
I had fallen out of the bed the two of us had slept in, waking up like that pretty much ruined whole days for me. Rubbing my head where it had met the floor, I tried to stand up, but I was met with heavy resistance. Something was tugging against the soles of my feet. I tried to shake it off. There was this feeling of something being peeled off, but it stuck to my big toe and wouldn't come lose from there.
The bed shifted, there was some groaning and tired murmuring coming from Zoey.
Her sleepy face lifted from underneath the covers, as she raised her head to look down at me on the ground. There was still sleep in her eyes, I could see, and her expression showed one of confusion.
She grinned.
"Good morning, Sarah. Why are you on the ground?" She asked.
I looked at our feet, than at Zoey, then back at our feet again.
Somehow, our big toes had merged together.
I tugged some more.
That annoyed my girlfriend. "Stop it." She said, following an exaggerated sigh. She turned in her covers, but my foot came with as she did so, making me lose my balance, and hitting my head on the ground once more.
"Zo', stop it," I said, "what did you do? This isn't funny."
"What?"
"How come our toes have merged?" I tugged again. She tugged back.
"Holy shit, you're serious." She muttered, as her slowly turning mind realized just what the hell was going on.
"Wait, fuck," she sat on the edge of the bed, nude body appearing from underneath the covers. It finally gave me the freedom to stand up properly again. "Hold still," she said. She gripped our attached feet with both hands, and raised them up and let them rest on her knee, so she could examine it closer. I had to stand on one leg and hold my balance for a moment.
"Our toes merged," I stated this time, instead of questioned. She nodded her head in agreement, some hair falling before her face. She tucked the loose strands behind her ears.
"Just let me try something." She said.
She pinched the skin where our toes had somehow gotten conjoined. The nails, too, had done so. The skin there felt odd, almost double, but not entirely unfamiliar. A bit softer than my own, a bit rougher, if you could call it that, than Zoey's. One hand still holding my foot, she gently tugged our toes apart, and that slight peeling sensation reoccurred. Not long after that, we found that our toes had parted, so long for that weird experience.
At least, until the next one.
"There we go," Zoey said. But as she stood up, she took lifted my foot up with her. With a yelp, I fell again, flat on my ass, this time.
"Dammit, Zo'! Don't make me fall like that!" I exclaimed angrily. But seeing her face, it wore an expression of shock. She stared at my feet, and, her left hand.
"I swear I didn't mean to Sarah! Now my hand won't come off. It merged with your foot instead."
"Jesus Christ," I muttered underneath my breath, "just what the hell is going on?"
"Hold up, what's this?" Zoey asked.
"Huh?"
I felt my toes wiggle involuntarily, and the muscles in my foot cramped. I yelped at the alien sensation, Zoey hissed in discomfort.
"Ouch," she said. "Won't do that again."
"Did you just...?"
"I can control your foot now Sarah." She said, as one of her trademark foxy grins appeared on her face. She wiggled her, MY toes once more, as to prove it. "They're my fingers now, somehow."
I tried wiggling my toes myself, thank goodness I succeeded. "Alright, not entirely then." Zoey corrected herself.
Somehow, she was able to control a part of my body with hers, which made absolutely no sense. We couldn't detach either. We were literally stuck together, somehow. Zoey bent over slightly, and to my horror, I saw how her arm started overlapping with my entire leg. More involuntary twitched and movements ensued.
In some way, I realized as a twisted grin spread across my face, this was exciting too.
I decided I had enough of her arm in my leg, and I gripped her arm by the wrist with my own hand. Another peeling sensation, and my entire leg was freed again.
I stood right before Zoey with this daring look in my eyes. I leaned in before her and kissed her, hugging her tightly. The tingling sensation spread all over me, as our naked bodies, chests and lips first, then our legs, torsos, arms and buttocks merged with each other. I opened my eyes, and gasped.
No, I said that wrong.
WE opened OUR eyes and gasped.
