(( Brendon, my friend, )) Rex sounded alarmed, even as a disembodied voice in his own mind, ((I believe we have become more human and less dinosaurian. I can feel it. I’ve... decreased. ))
( W-Was it the orgasm? ) Brendon stared in shock, realizing that his bones felt... off. His hips a little less flexible. The balance of their body wasn’t quite what it was before. Their tail was shorter, less elegant. Their size had increased.
(( It must have been. I must insist that we refrain from any further sexual misadventures. I don’t want to vanish to nothing if you change back. ))
( We’re so horny, ) Brendon gulped.
(( I can ease those urges, but I need your help to maintain our calm. ))
( Got it. ) Brendon said, feeling a sense of unease from the raptor inside his mind. ( Show me something unsexy. )
Rex complied, showing Brendon glimpses into the less romantic aspects of being a prehistoric dinosaur. Wading through murky slimy swamps. Being chased my much larger predators. Rex reluctantly replayed his last days of life. Starving. Withering. Strength failing him. Managing to scrounge carcass off frozen bodies. Lungs struggling to maintain breath as they began to fail from a thick coating of dust wafting through the air. His mate dying at his side, freezing solid during a gusting ice storm.
Brendon felt whatever arousal they had fading. More than that, he felt their form returning. Stabilizing. They compacted. The bones slipped back into place. The tail restored. He felt an immense relief and gratefulness from Rex.
(( We are us again. )) Rex said with clear emotion behind his thought-speak. (( Our body restored itself. ))
( Rex, we have to be unstable. Whatever Rick did to us, cumming makes it wear off. )
(( I profoundly hope there are no other triggers. I don’t wish to die a second time. ))
( I promised, ) Brendon whispered gently. ( I don’t know how, but we’ll find a way to get you out of me and into your own body. I swear it. )
(( I feel your sincerity. )) Rex said in relief. (( Thank you, my friend. My partner. My love. ))
Brendon twinged. Did... did Rex consider him... his mate?
(( To an extent, yes. I am helpless without you. I am nothing without you. Whatever strange science has resurrected me, it has also cast us both into this bizarre circumstance we now find ourselves in. It has also joined us as one being, and we depend on each other to survive. Such closeness few beings experience, I'd imagine. We may be unique in that respect. I do love you deeply. I feel your care for me in return. ...Our heart, too, is joined. ))
This make Brendon relax in warm delight. The rain rattled over the boat they were hiding under. Both Brendon and Rex began to fall drowsy.
(( Rest with me, then, my love. )) Rex whispered. (( When we wake, our next adventure begins. ))
