As Derek grabbed the pot of freshly brewed coffee, he paused in confusion. Brittany had reached into the fridge and was using straight up 2% milk for her coffee creamer. Slightly disgusted, he poured his black untainted coffee and took a tentative sip... and immediately spit it out. While it may have smelled alright, the taste was absolutely awful. Dejected, Derek returned to his cubicle and the mundane work of the day.
A little bit later into the day, Brittany sat at her desk not far away from Derek to start writing her story. Derek looked up from his phone and daydreamed about her, a favorite way of his to pass the time. As she sipped from her coffee cup, he fantasized about cupping her large breasts as they slowly and sensually made out. With a sigh, Derek somberly realized this might be why he's still single.
Brittany reached up near her left ear and scratched and, with an almost cartoonish bounce, Derek watched her ear pop out from beneath her hair. In a blink, it had grown 3 times as big and looked almost cylindrical in shape. Derek almost fell out of his seat in surprise. Suddenly, his work day had gotten a hell of a lot more interesting!
Now paying full attention to Brittany and her new cow-shaped ear, he picked up on some smaller details he hadn't noticed. The ear was definitely similar to a cow's and had a light coating of fur that was the same bright blonde hue as her hair. Brittany hadn't seemed to notice anything different and he even noticed the ear flick every now and then as she subconsciously moved it. After a few moments of incredulous staring, the ear on the other side of her head popped out in a similar way. With both blonde ears free, she looked she was wearing some sort of costume headband... except for the fact that her ears were definitely moving.
Derek sat back in his seat trying to figure out what was going on with Brittany that would cause her to grow cow ears. Was it something she could always do? Why did she seem so unbothered by her changes? Derek got up and hesitantly walked over to at least let her know what was going on.
"Uh hey" he said, awkwardly leaning against the wall of her cubicle.
Brittany stopped her typing to look up at him with a neutral expression on her face. "Hey.. what's up?"
Derek scratched his neck, not quite sure how to ask the questions he was filled with. "You, uh, feeling okay?"
Brittany's neutral expression turned to confusion. "Uhhh... fine... Why do you ask?"
"Your... ears... they kinda.."
Brittany, still confused, slowly raised her hand to her left ear and gasped with a jump in surprise. Ah, so she just hadn't noticed yet. She definitely knew now. She scrambled for her phone, unlocked it, and turned on the camera to look at her ears in the phone. When she noticed her elongated furry ears she started to shake and Derek worried she was going to scream.
"Don't panic, it's probably like an allergic reaction or something right?" Derek said trying to calm her down.
Without a word, Brittany grabbed his wrist strongly rushed off, leading him to a back room. He noticed in the middle of being dragged away that she still had her cup of coffee in her other hand.
Brittany led him to a dark unused office and closed the door behind them. As she flipped on the lights, Derek turned to her in confusion and concern. " What's going on, why do you have cow ears?!"
"I don't know!" she said stroking her furry ears in fear. "I'm not allergic to anything and it's not as if this is a common occurrence!"
"Is there anything else you've noticed in the past few minutes?" Derek asked.
"No, just the... well since having this coffee my stomach has been a little sore and gassy, but that's normal for coffee... right?"
A lightbulb seemed to alight in Derek's head. The weird branded coffee! Without a word, he grabbed her coffee off the table she had set it on and gave it a smell. Unlike the plain coffee smell from before, there was a distinct smell of milk and... grass?
"I.. I think it has something to do with the coffee we made" Derek said handing the cup over to her.
"That can't be it though, you had some of the coffee too didn't you?" Brittany asked, giving the cup a sniff of her own.
"Uhh, yes and no" Derek explained. "Mine was black and tasted awful. I dumped it out almost immediately while you added actual milk to yours." Derek paused, realizing something else. "Do you think that's why you got cow features? The milk?"
Brittany looked between Derek and the coffee cup with confusion and fear. There's no way that she grew cow ears because of her coffee... right? As she pondered it, an audible growl came from her belly that caused them both to look down. With an small groan, Brittany's slim and athletic belly plumped up slightly. It was a noticeable growth, causing her to look like she was in the early stages of pregnancy. Shocked, Brittany grabbed her paunch and looked up to Derek with a pleading look.
