Shrink and Swim

Early afternoon was always a hot time for people to start piling into the water park. Josh, the owner of the park, was just making his rounds near the front desk to schmooze with guests. The short 5'5" fairly thin 22 year old jogged his way near the desk and scanned the crowd intently.

"Welcome to Shrink and Swim!"

Josh said to a family of four, the two sons looked about, amazed at how they just shrunk and went into (from the outside at least) what looked like nothing more than knee high, long plastic box. Their father was busy fishing money out of his pocket to pay the admissions clerk while the wife turned and gave a thoughtful smile while her children grew more and more impatient to start riding all the fantastic water rides.

Josh smiled as the family went on their way. It really was a magnificent park, and who would have thought of shrinking people and making a tiny water park! It was even more genius since basically the whole park's water supply could run off a kitchen sink. Not to mention the shrink ray which was solar powered to reduce cost and increase productivity!

"It practically prints money!" Josh thought to himself as he watched several more families pay admission and begin shouldering their way through crowds to the rides.

Josh took a stroll past some of the rides he had to inspect today. There was the popular family ride the "Tubular Time". Not to mention the speed slides for people who liked to practically fly down the slide called the "Skin Burner". Of course there was also the wave pool and lazy river which people who hated waiting in lines could always appreciate.

Turning down the "Employee only" section he found the break room entrance. At least from the shrunken side. There was two ways into the break room, one that required going out of the park and around the back, or for the lazier just going in shrunk. "Wonder who's on break right now." Josh thought looking down at his note pad.

One of his duties did include checking on the lifeguards in the break room to make sure they aren't late for their shifts as well as going to certain rides to relieve lifeguards from their current shift.

- - -

Flipping over his note pad he noticed he had several new employees to interview in the near future. One of Josh's other more interesting duties is interviewing new employees to work at his water park, a process he often did while still shrunken in a special room near the break room.

"Huh we might be getting a few newbies sometime soon, better take a quick look at their files…" Josh said to himself flipping through the profiles of the eligible young men hoping to become lifeguards at the pristine water park.

"There you are boss!" came a familiar tone from across the walkway. Josh looked up and saw his head lifeguard, Tyler, running over.

"Oh hey Ty, whats up?" Josh said as the huge man came to a stop in front of him. Tyler was an impressive sight, 21 years old, 6'5" with wavy brown hair concealed under his red lifeguard's hat, brown eyes hidden under his sporty sunglasses, and a nice strong looking dependable face. Tyler was certainly very easy on the eyes.

"Josh don't you remember what you need to be doing right now? It's why I came over." He said as Josh's eyes wandered down Ty's strong tanned body. Particularly his massive pecs and sculpted abs. Snapping back to reality though he had forgotten what Tyler was talking about and shook his head.

"Dude you gotta…"

"Dude he's been in there 10 minutes! I had to come find you." Tyler said pointing over at the door leading to the interview room.

"… shit." Josh thought to himself flipping his notebook back to the new profiles. "Let's see here…"

Looking down at the profiles he took a glace at the first one. In the description was a copy of a neatly printed resume with the name "Ricky" printed at the top. Turns out he's 22 years old, has experience working as lifeguard and is CPR certified. The description states that he's 6'4" blonde hair blue eyes and an athletic build.

"Sounds like he'd be easy to hire and just pull on board…" Josh thought.

Next, Josh filed to a resume with the name "Chad" printed across the top. Looks like he's 24 years old and was in the military. Seems like he's listed as very dependable and strong guy. No experience as a lifeguard, which means he'll need training, but he is CPR certified so that's a plus. The description says he's 6'3" with brown hair and brown eyes with an athletic build.

"Dependable… that's good we could use more like him." He thought as his mind wandered to less dependable workers he had.

Finally, the last profile with a very bare resume had the name "Scott" printed across the top. He's 18 years old and has no real work experience. He did happen to list that he played four years of high school football, water polo, and lacrosse. Finally, it seems like he's not CPR certified nor does he have any experience life guarding. The description states that he's 6'11" with short brown hair and blue eyes with an athletic build.

"Jesus… this giant probably had more experience drowning people than saving them…"

Josh turns and looks back at Tyler, "Do you know which of these guys it is?"

Tyler looks down at the profiles and points down and says, "Yeah his name was…"

"Yeah his name was Ricky, hurry up dude he's waiting for you!" Tyler said as he picked Josh up and threw him over his shoulder, bringing him over to the entrance to the interviewing room. "Go get em' tiger!" He said putting him down.

"Thanks for the lift Ty, now get back to work!" Josh added jokingly. Tyler did a playful salute and walked off. Now all that waited in front of Josh was the door leading to the giant he had to interview. Taking a deep breath he opened the door.

- - -

The room was extremely large, at least for Josh that is. It was a squarish room with a chair and table at one end and a balcony at the other. Josh walked across the balcony to a small microphone that was used to communicate without shouting. Looking past the microphone Josh got his first look at Ricky. He was seated at his chair looking down at the ground. He was as the description said, tall with blonde hair and blue eyes. His hair was shaggy and went down about to his eye brows. He was wearing a tight blue button up tee shirt that looked much too small for him as his broad shoulders and impressive chest seemed to be trying to burst out at any second. His shirt was tucked neatly into a pair of black dress shorts. as expected in this hot temperature.

"Hello, Ricky? Sorry I'm late I was held up. I'm the park's owner. You can call me Josh." Josh said into the microphone as clearly as he could. However Ricky, who was not paying attention, jumped at the voice addressing him and starting looking around for the source. "Uh, over here Ricky, on the balcony".

Ricky rubbed his eyes and leaned forward, looking at me from across the room. "I'm sorry, I'm just in a little shock. I knew people got shrunk in the water park but I had no idea they were this small!"

Its pretty common for this to happen, in fact compared to a normal human the people in the water park are a measly 1/2 of an inch tall. "Its ok, it must be a little shocking but let's get on with the interview shall we?" Josh said as formally as possible. Ricky leaned back in his chair, resting his back as straight up as possible, which to Josh's prospective just made his chest seem all the more dramatically huge.

Trying not to get distracted by Ricky's good looks Josh tried mostly to look down throughout the interview. He went about asking him typical questions, what can you offer this company? Why do you want to work here? The usual. Of which Ricky performed very well.

Josh looked down at his notes and saw Ricky out of the corner of his eye staring right at him. Josh went on to say "Well Ricky I've decided…"

"Uh, just one thing sir. A question I guess." Ricky said suddenly standing up and walking toward the balcony.

Josh's view was now completely obstructed by Ricky's stomach, which looking up he could barely see Ricky's face past his massive chest. Standing his ground though he answered, "What question would that be?"

Crouching down so he could look at Josh face to face he replied, "Well if you decided not to hire me, what's stopping me from just like… squashing you or eating you right now?" Ricky's handsome face began to twist into a confident smile.

Josh took a step back. Its not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Sadly it was the price he payed for choosing not to just go around front and grow back up for these interviews. But he was confident that he could get past this any time it happens.

"Well for one, you absolutely wouldn't get the job if you did that, and second if someone found out what you did you'd end up in jail." Josh replied as confidently as he could while trying his best not to shake in front of the eyes of this titan.

"Well if I did you'd also be dead, so you'd have that to think about. As for the police, how would anyone find out?" Ricky said now starting to show a little teeth in his smile.

Josh started to back up even more, he could just run for it. He'd be safe back in the park. He turns back toward the door when suddenly a huge hand comes slamming down in front of him blocking his only way out. "Going somewhere sir? I don't think you've come to a decision yet." Josh head Ricky's booming voice behind him.

"What have I gotten myself into." Josh thought as he turned and looked at Ricky's enormous face. Just then Josh decided to…

Swallowing hard Josh looked up and the enormous face in front of him and said. "You're hired! You know Ricky, you sure were bold just now doing what you did. We need more boldness on staff!"

Ricky slowly moved his hand away and stood back up to his full height. All the while Josh tried his best to keep a strong confident smile on his face. Hoping that Ricky would buy the act and sit back down. "Now I kinda have to hire him though." Josh though as Ricky turned to go back to his seat.

"When can you start?" Josh asks now more calm that the titan retreated back the the chair. "If its soon, I'd like to get you your uniform as soon as possible!"

"I can start tomorrow sir." Ricky said, still smiling over at Josh like a child who just won a argument with their parent.

"Great! Why don't you go on over next door, its the break room and I'll have one of the guys grab you a uniform." Josh said, still nervous about Ricky walking back over to him at any second. "Sure thing sir." Ricky said moving out of his chair to the door, still with a self gratified smirk on his face.

Now that Ricky finally left Josh gave out a sigh of relief. Hopefully someone's on break right now and can take care of the uniform. "Otherwise I'll have to get it…" Josh thought nervous to spend any more time around Ricky right now.

- - -

Leaving the interview room and walking into the break room Josh looked around to see if any of his giant staff could help him. Watching Ricky walk into the room and over to the balcony where Josh was standing Josh noticed that…

"Looks like its just the two of us. So where can I get a uniform?" Ricky stated looking around the room then down at his new boss.

Thankfully, the room is designed to accommodate for small people coming in from the park. A computer system can be used to operate several different types of elevators and conveyor belts for travel across the room. One other function is getting out spare uniforms from the storage shed. Josh pulled up the program to retrieve a new uniform and looked over at Ricky.

"What size you take, Ricky?" Josh said calmly, trying to forget about the terrifying events that took place just minutes ago.

Ricky looked down at himself, patting his hands on his solid chest. "Uhhh well compared to you, like a super XL!" He said laughing at his own joke. "Seriously though… like a large if you have any, boss."

Josh shuddered at the comment of how small he is. "Hope he doesn't get too used to this.." he said to himself as he pulled up a large on the computer. Quickly it was delivered over to the room on a rack. The standard lifeguard uniform. Red board shorts, with a cross on them. A white tank top with the word "Lifeguard" across the chest. And finally a red hat. Josh looked over at the uniform hanging from the rack and gestured to it for him.

Ricky grabbed the uniform off the rack and laid it down on the balcony next to Josh. Then he stripped off his button up shirt, Seemingly almost deliberately slowly. He showed off his huge biceps now uncovered by the shirt and his massive chest and stomach still covered by a tank top. "Let's see how the top feels on me huh boss?" He says as he peels off his tank top revealing his tanned torso and washboard abs. His pecs were so massive they bounced softly back down after he took off the top. Finally, he grabs the uniform top and slides it down on his body.

"Its a nice fit, nice and loose." He says lifting one of biceps and giving it a good flex. "Do I have to wear the tank top when I'm on duty though?" He asks, pulling it down and examining his chest.

"Well its not necessary, since chances are it will just get wet." Josh said, transfixed by the giant in front of him.

Ricky started to take off his dress shorts, revealing a massive bulge beneath his tight under armor compression shorts. He turned a little giving Josh a view of his fantastic bubble butt, huge enough to squash a whole ride. Ricky pulls up the red boards shorts over his underwear and ties the knot on loosely. His ass was so massive it almost sticks out of the tight back of the shorts.

"Oh I guess those are a little too small, I can get you a bigger size." Josh says, blushing at the man changing before him.

"Nah its perfect, shows off my ass a little bit which is great. You know what I'm talking about, right boss?" He says looking down at Josh and winking.

"Uh yeah sure thing." Josh says looking away while blushing even brighter. "All that's left is the hat and you're all set!"

Ricky grabs his clothes and puts the hat on his head. Looking down at Josh once more , "I'm looking forward to working for you, boss." He says, licking his lips and rubbing his toned stomach over his tank top. He winks once more before walking out the back door.

Finally… Josh sighed in relief. He was a bit nervous about how Ricky looked at him before he left… he looked hungry. Maybe it wasn't a bluff earlier but he knew now that he had to stay on his toes around Ricky.

"You're bluffing. You wouldn't dare hurt me." Josh said confidently looking into Ricky's enormous blue eyes.

Ricky's confident smile quickly turned into a frown. Without hesitation he licked his thumb and chased tiny Josh with it, pressing him gingerly on to it. With his captive now on his thumb Ricky stood back up to his full height. Looking down at the tiny man struggle on his thumb he started to smile again as he brought him closer to his face.

- - -

"What is he doing?" Josh thought as Ricky moved his huge thumb near his tongue. The enormous muscle lashed out like some sort of monster, licking the front of the giant man's thumb. Suddenly Josh knew what was going to happen and he tried his best to run from the gigantic thumb that was now perusing him. Finally, he fell to the floor and felt a sticky sensation all over the back of his body as well as a slight pressure of being pushed into the floor. Unhurt, but stuck he looked up at Ricky's handsome face.

- - -

"Still think I'm bluffing little guy?" Ricky said slyly at his captured prey. "Like I said I could squish or eat you if I felt like it. If you still think I'm bluffing, tell me would you rather be squished, or eaten?"

"I'm not going to choose how you think you can scare me! This is insane!" Josh said suddenly welling with confidence again. "Let me down now and I'll reconsider hiring you."

Ricky looked down at the tiny man pathetically. "Eaten it is." He says opening his mouth wide "See that? That's where you're going, well technically…" He gives his stomach a good smack, "You'll end up here."

"This is either a really good bluff, or he's really going to eat me…" Josh thought to himself as Ricky moved his thumb closer and closer to his gaping maw.

Falling, Josh lands with a splat on the tip of the giant man's tongue. Trying to stand up seems almost impossible as Josh slips and slides on the slimy surface. Fortunately, Ricky's mouth was still open allowing Josh to still see clearly what was going on, unfortunately all he could see were white towers all around him. Teeth.

"Oh god I'm in his mouth!" Josh quickly tried to scramble toward the light of outside, however Ricky wasn't having any of that. He started to tilt his head back causing Josh to slowly slide down toward the back of his throat. Ricky's enormous uvula bounced and swayed gracefully, welcoming Josh to his demise.

- - -

"He thinks he can escape?" Ricky thinks to himself as he feels the puny speck try to scurry its way out of his mouth. Tilting his head back he feels the little bug of a man slide closer and closer to his awaiting throat. "Pathetic." He says out loud.

- - -

"PATHETIC"

Ricky's voice boomed around Josh like a megaphone. "Maybe he can still hear me… its worth a try." Josh thinks as he still slowly slides toward Ricky's fowl smelling throat.

"Ricky! Please I'll hire you! Just don't eat me!" Josh cried out.

"BEGGING WON'T SAVE YOU NOW!" Ricky's voice boomed over Josh once more.

Josh, abandoning hope, looked out at the saliva drenched throat, accepting his demise.

Ricky…

GULP

This sound meant the end for Josh. The throat opened up and pushed Josh down into the waiting esophagus. The warm slippery muscles pushed him down while the sticky saliva he was covered in slowed his descent ever so slightly. Josh wiggled and tried as he might to make his way back up, but alas he was just too small. The sound of Ricky's heart beat was all he had on this terrifying descent.

- - -

Gulp

That's all it took for Ricky to send the little guy down. Ricky put a hand on his throat trying to see if he could feel the little man struggle or fight. Once his hand migrated down to his chest he felt a small squirm, enough to make Ricky feel like he really ate something alive. Suddenly the squirming stopped. "Must've dropped into my stomach. He sure went down easy!" He thought smirking to himself.

"Welcome to the stomach little guy! Hope you enjoy your new home!" Ricky taunted cheerfully as he rubbed his abs through his tight shirt. "Won't be feeling him anymore though that's for sure. He's just too small." He thought to himself.

Moving across the room he took his leave out the door. Still keeping his hand on his stomach he tried to see if he could feel the little man squirm at all in his stomach. After a few seconds he decided to give up and went on his way. Meanwhile, his stomach growled angrily at such a tiny snack.

"Right I skipped lunch… and that bastard showed up late!" He gave his stomach a couple good pats. "Serves you right! You get to be part of the lunch I missed thanks to you!" Ricky's stomach growled once more. "Better find some real food though."

- - -

Josh dropped unceremoniously with a splat right into the very bottom of Ricky's stomach. "This is insane! its so huge! You could fit half the park in here!" Josh thought forgetting where he was for a second. "Wait no! I have to get out of here! I can't die like some piece of food in this guy's stomach!"

"WELCOME TO THE STOMACH LITTLE GUY! HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW HOME!" Josh heard Ricky's voice, however muffled it was, it was still incredibly loud. "That jackass… who welcome's someone to their stomach… either way I have to try to get him to throw me up." Josh though scrambling around trying to find the nearest wall of the enormous stomach.

The walls of the stomach started to shift as the whole stomach moved around. Finally finding a wall Josh would feel the flesh moving back and fourth. "He must be rubbing his stomach." Josh said aloud.

"Hey let me out you asshole!" Josh shouted while punching and kicking the wall as hard as he could. "I've got to get him to throw up!"

GRROOOOOOAAAN

The walls of the stomach shook violently as growled. "Oh great he's hungry… and just after he ate too…" Josh said sarcastically to himself. Suddenly Josh found himself flying across the gigantic stomach as if something smacked him across the room. After a few quakes the stomach died back down and Josh was able to stand once again. "What the hell was that?"

GRRRROOOOOAAN

- - -

After a little searching in the surrounding area around the park he settled on some fast food. A burger and some fries will do his hungry belly good. As he tore though his burger he tried to imagine the food piling up in his stomach hopefully smothering that tiny asshole. As he took a big chug of his soda he felt a bit of pressure coming from his stomach.

"This is gonna be good." He thought.

BUUUUUUUURP!

He leans back in his seat, rubbing his stomach proudly and thinking, "Hope that was hell for him!"

- - -

Finding his way back to a wall Josh tiredly continued his assault. "He just… has to let me out…" Josh kept telling himself.

Meanwhile Ricky's stomach swayed and churned, empty and hungry, as Ricky moved about. With a thud the whole room dropped a little. "Is he sitting down?" Josh wondered.

Suddenly huge chunks of food started raining down on him. Hugging the wall as mounds of food fell into the middle Josh nearly avoided being crushed! "Lot of good that'll do he's still going to digest me.." Josh thought to himself.

As if Ricky's stomach heard Josh's thoughts it began to churn and mix the contents of Ricky's stomach, letting out dangerous gastric acid. Scrambling to the mound of food Josh figured if anything he could stay alive longer on top of this mountain of food! Climbing up the side was a difficult feat, as it seemed to get even wetter in the stomach. Suddenly a flood of soda swept into the cavern with Josh barely holding onto the mushy pile of food.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRP!

The sound was deafening and all the air rushed up and out of cavernous belly. "This is how it ends…" Josh said to himself as he started choking on the stale air of the stomach. Slowly Josh sunk down passing out, only to become part of some jock who thought he could bully his way into being hired.

Suddenly, like a gust of wind Josh found himself being propelled out of the mouth and into Ricky's open hand in a blob of spit. The air was much chillier outside of the giant man's mouth and Josh started to shiver as he readjusted to the temperature.

Josh cleared the strands of saliva off his face and looked up at his capture. Still smiling looking down at little man shaking violently in his palm in a pool of his own spit. Ricky extended a giant finger, gingerly rubbing some of the sip off his hand and around Josh. Slowly he then lifted Josh back to his face.

Just then Ricky opened his mouth again, "Oh god no! Not again!" Josh screamed expecting to be tossed back into the fleshy cavern.

However, Ricky simply blew on the tiny man, apparently just trying to dry him off. Although, he thought he was blowing gently it was like a small hurricane for Josh as he clung on to the skin on Ricky's hand.

Looking up at Ricky's deep blue eyes Josh whimpered, "D-does this m-mean y-you're not gonna eat me?"

Still smiling Ricky responded…

"I wasn't really gonna eat you. I just wanted to see how far I could push you is all! I have to say right up until the end you sure had nerves of steel!" The blonde giant complimented to the still dumbfounded tiny.

"Ha… ha… wow just a joke." Josh said still shaking. "Some joke! What if he accidentally did swallow me!" He thought to himself suddenly a little angry.

"So do I have the job?" Ricky asks suddenly with an optimistic tone.

Shocked by the question Josh stopped to think how irrational the whole situation was. "Well I hope you know that stunt you pulled didn't exactly impress me. What if you did actually eat me? Then the joke would have gone too far!"

"Actually eat you?" Ricky said casually opening back up his mouth and tilting his hand into his open mouth. "That could be arranged. Maybe the joke hasn't gone far enough?" Ricky taunted as Josh slowly started to slide back into the mouth he just narrowly escaped.

"Fine! Fine! You're hired! Let's just end this joke then shall we!" Josh said panicked trying not to slip back into Ricky's maw.

"Perfect!" He said, moving his mouth away from his hand and lowering his new boss back down to the balcony. "I guess I can let you down now."

Josh scurried quickly off the giant man's hand back to the safety of solid ground. Relieved to no longer be in the palm of that voracious blonde. Josh's peace was short lived when Ricky's voice boomed over him from behind. "When do I start boss?"

Terrified to delay having Ricky join the staff, Josh figured sooner was better than later. "Tomorrow is fine, we just need to get you set up with a uniform."

"Sounds great boss, you sure know how to make me happy!" He said winking down at the flustered little man.

"Sure…" Josh replied nervously. "Lets just go next door and grab that uniform." He said not wanting to spend too much time with the new recruit.

"Hopefully someone will be there to take care of it for me… Ricky makes me feel uneasy…" Josh hoped to himself.

- - -

Entering the break room Josh looked around. It was designed with a balcony for people coming in from the water park to move around the rooms freely using elevators and conveyor belts for easy access. So Josh was able to scan the rooms quickly before Ricky came through the door. There didn't seem to be anyone in the kitchen or lounge, running over to peek through a window it seemed no one was in the workout room either.

"Crap…" he thought. 'I'll have to pull one up on the computer for him…"

Just then Ricky came walking through the door. He strolled casually over to the balcony, spotting Josh. "Nobody's here boss. How am I supposed to get my uniform?"

"Well…" Josh started…

"The computer is designed to perform many tasks, one of which lets it transport spare uniforms from storage. So I just need to give it a size and it'll bring one over to us." Josh explained eloquently.

"Whoa, dude that's pretty badass." Ricky complimented. Looking down at himself he ran his hands down his chest, then down his back, and finally rested them on his butt. "Uhhh I'm like a large if you got any…"

"Large it is." Josh said punching the code into the computer. Shortly after that a fresh uniform was whisked over on a rack. Nothing special just red board shorts, with a cross on them. A white tank top with the word "Lifeguard" across the chest. And finally a red hat. "All right all set!" Josh added, eager to get Ricky to leave.

"Wait boss lemme try it on first!" Ricky said, eyeing the little man intently. Stopped in his tracks Josh realized he had to wait. Ricky nodded at his new little boss and unbuttoned his shirt. Deliberately taking his sweet time to reveal a white tank top he was wearing underneath. Ricky removed the sweaty top and laid it down next to Josh, letting the smell of his sweat waft over the little man. Meanwhile Josh was transfixed with the sight before him. Ricky's chest was mountainous to him. His pecs bounced softly as he leaned over to pick up his uniform top.

Ricky pulled the tank top over his chest and rolled it slowly down over his chiseled abs. Smirking at his tiny boss the whole time. "Why is he looking at me like that?" Josh thought, blushing ever so slightly. "How's it fit?" Josh asked blankly at the adonis before him.

"Fits great boss, probably won't wear it too much. Part of being a lifeguard is showing off, am I right?" He said in a cocky tone as he peeled off the tank top revealing his magnificent torso once more. Josh's eyes widened at the giant man before him then started stripping off his black dress shorts. Pulling them down leaving him in just his spandex underwear. Ricky's bulge was only a few feet from Josh, however just by the sheer size of it it seemed like some massive monster in the distance. Ricky turned leaning over to pick up the board shorts, deliberately sticking his ass out to show for Josh.

"Good god." Josh thought. "That's big enough to flatten a ride easily…" Josh fantasized.

Pleased with the show he was giving his tiny boss he pulled the shorts up over his spandex. The snug fit made his butt seem even more incredible. "Nice fit boss, shows off my ass pretty well, don't you think?" He said turning more and moving in closer to the tiny man.

"It looks great." Josh answered honestly. Ricky turned back and looked at the little man and smirked once more. "Well all that's left is the hat and you're good to go!" Josh said hoping to get rid of him this time.

Ricky grabbed the hat, putting it on sideways looked at his boss. "Think I look cool?" The shirtless hunk asked the retreating little man.

"You look pretty awesome, Ricky." Josh answered hoping to finally be on his good side. "And with that, I'll see you tomorrow!" Josh added desperately.

Turning to leave Josh walked toward the door back to the water park.

"Hold up boss!" Ricky spoke out catching Josh right before he could leave.

Josh slowly turned around, his hand just shy of the door. Nervously turning back around to face the enormous Ricky once more. "Yes?" Josh asked as calmly as he could.

Ricky leaned over the balcony peering down at his teeny boss with a friendly smile. "I just wanted to apologize for what I did to you back there. I know it must've been kinda scary, but you were very brave and that impressed me, boss."

Looking up at the giant man Josh smiled and took a step forward. "I appreciate it Ricky, and its not actually the first time I've been threatened like that. It was however the first time I'd been put in another man's mouth though!" He added nervously, scratching the back of his head.

"How was that by the way?" Ricky asked suddenly.

"How was… what?" Josh asked nervously.

Ricky knelt down in front of the balcony and looked seriously at Josh. "How was it being in my mouth. In hindsight of course."

Josh hadn't really thought about it much, at the time it was just so terrifying. He thought for sure he was going to end up eaten. But at his size everything was very… impressive. The size of Ricky's teeth, the strength of his tongue, even how his uvula dangled so carelessly over the pit that would lead to certain death! Now that it was over it really was an invigorating experience…

Blushing, Josh wasn't sure if he should admit the truth to the giant man. Who knows what plans Ricky could be scheming? On the other hand if he told Ricky it was horrible he could try to use that against him again…

Josh decided to…

"I thought it was kinda amazing… to be honest. Once I got past how scared I was the whole situation just kinda gave me a rush… probably sounds stupid." The tiny man said looking down, embarrassed.

"Not at all." The blonde adonis said coolly. "In fact I was hoping that was the case. Obviously, that's the first time I've ever had a little person in my mouth. I felt so powerful to be that in control over another human being's fate. Even if it was supposed to be a joke." He added putting his hand on the back of his head, flexing his triceps and showing off his underarm hair.

Intrigued in what else Ricky had to say, Josh started to walk forward toward the giant man's face. Ricky seemed almost trustworthy despite what happened earlier. For the first time Josh truly felt at ease around the stud.

"I was hoping… maybe we could do it again… sir?" Ricky asked politely. "I'd be really careful! You can trust me!" Ricky added eagerly.

Josh's heart skipped a beat at the offer. It was incredibly enticing. He couldn't help be drawn closer to Ricky's handsome face. Looking at his blue eyes and sideways baseball cap just made him look innocent.. yet kinda stupid. If all it was, was a power trip to him who knows how far he'll take it? As clever as he seemed, Josh couldn't help to think he was just a dumb jock under his innocent face.

Ricky whispered, "You know you want in…" As he opened his mouth wide. Extending out his tongue to the floor of the balcony like a welcome mat . Ricky's hot breath washed over Josh as he felt he was reliving his experience in Ricky's mouth again.

Josh then decided….

"Not now little guy." Ricky said with a devilish smile. "I know you're disappointed, but fact of the matter is I'm hungry and need real food. I can't even consider you a snack."

Josh shook violently with a mix of anger, but more so of fear. He was being toyed with and there was nothing he could do about it. Just then the huge blonde hunk moved Josh over to his chest and perked open the chest pocket on his shirt.

"Get in." Ricky commanded to the little man. Josh looked over the side of the massive hand and saw his options were to either obey, or drop to his death. Reluctantly he decided to follow the stud's orders and he dropped down into the massive fabric enclosure. Josh slide down the the comfy material until he reached the bottom, looking up he saw light start to fade and Ricky released the opening of the pocket, letting it press firmly against his well trained pecs once more.

Ricky gave the pocket a little pat. Satisfied with the torture he was inflicting on the tiny man so far he turned to leave the room. Grabbing the handle to the door he pushed it open and smiled as the bright sunlight greeted him on his way out. Starting to walk away from the building, suddenly someone stopped him.

"Hey dude!" Called the voice as Ricky watched a huge shirtless man come running over to him. He seemed slightly bigger than Ricky but that being said he had no idea who he was. "Maybe one of the lifeguards." He thought to himself as he put on a fake smile. "Hey what's up?"

"You just got interviewed right? Just wanted to meet the new guy before anybody else!" Said the burly stranger.

Ricky rubbed the back of his neck and tried to come up with a lie. "Oh well I don't know if I got the job or not actually."

"Don't worry dude, Josh is a good guy. He wouldn't turn someone away without a good reason." The man said confidently. "Look, I'm head lifeguard after all. If he had any doubts I'll put in a good word for you!"

Ricky looked at the man surprised. Why would he go out of his way like that for someone he's never met? Not to mention he spoke so highly about his boss… either way, he wasn't about to reveal what was hiding in his pocket. "Thanks dude, that's pretty cool of you." He said finally to break the silence.

Ricky waved good bye to the friendly man as he went along his way, making sure to stop at a restaurant on his way home to get his fill of food finally. Satisfied, he made his way home and unlocked the door. Walking over to his kitchen table the handsome man started to think about what he was doing with his tiny captive. Slowly he reached down into the pocket, barely feeling the little man he plucked him out and set him on the table. Finally seeing the light of day once more Josh was was excited to be free of the prison, yet equally terrified of what Ricky had in store for him next. When Josh looked up at Ricky's face finally he saw Ricky had…

"Look alive little man." Ricky said with an evil looking smile. "I've got big plans for you."

Josh turned away. Even with that dark looking smile, Ricky was still incredibly handsome, but at this point he was too disgusted with how he's been treated to dignify Ricky with a response. Ricky simply laughed at the tiny man's defiance. Knowing he was in total control no matter what Josh did.

"I met one of your workers. Some guy who called himself the head lifeguard?" Ricky said trying to draw Josh's attention. Turning to face Ricky, Josh started to grow concerned over what happened with Tyler. "He seemed to think very highly of you."

"All my employees do, as do I think highly of them! We all care about each other and if they found out what you did…" Josh said as he was interrupted.

"Yeah I don't care." Ricky stated blankly. "They won't find out, especially not after they think you hired me."

Josh stood there dumbfounded. He couldn't begin to imagine what Ricky hoped to gain from all this! "I'll just tell them you're lying!"

Ricky shook his head and sighed. "You think I'm dumb? I'm not going to just let you go when I go back. No, you're gonna have a front row seat of all the action, little man."

"They'll know something's up, I never hire someone and not tell anyone about it!" Josh scoffed at Ricky angrily as the giant man swung around to a seat at his kitchen table and plopped his massive form down in the chair.

"Oh yeah? I heard you're a good guy who doesn't turn someone away with out a good reason. That dope head lifeguard even said he'd put in a good word for me. I'll just tell them you called me later and that I had the job, but you were feeling sick and decided to stay home." Ricky said leaning back in his seat with an arrogant smirk.

Josh was furious, Tyler was he best friend after all and he really didn't appreciate this jerk talking down about him like this. "You can insult me all you want, but Tyler will figure it out. He knows my protocol, he'll know you're lying."

"Tyler huh? Your dumb big oaf has a name? Whatever, he didn't seem too bright. I'm not worried." Ricky said as he stretched his body and yawned. Ricky unbuttoned his shirt revealing a tight looking white tank top underneath. His strong abs ad massive chest showed through the white shirt with ease as he stood up and tossed the shirt aside. Walking into his kitchen, he disappeared for a second while he rummaged through a cabinet and returned with a tall glass. Josh tried to scramble away as Ricky came over and quickly plucked him up and dropped his down into the container. Leaving once more, Ricky eventually returned from the kitchen holding a small pink piece of something, which he dropped into the glass.

"It's watermelon." Ricky said as he looked down at the pathetic little man. "Gotta have you aware for what goes on tomorrow."

With that Ricky left the room and shut off the light. Josh shivered in anger and fear as he looked over at the piece of watermelon. Sighing, he knew he needed something to eat, and the juice from the fruit would also be enough to keep him hydrated. Finishing his fill, Josh tried to make himself comfortable on the hard glass floor as eventually he drifted uneasily off to sleep.

- - -

BOOM BOOM BOOM

Josh jerked awake as the sudden rumbles came crashing through the room. Josh looked through the glass, reminded of his dire circumstances. Ricky came pounding his way over to the cup, and Josh could barely make out what the man was wearing. It looked like he had on some sort of black tank top, coupled with blue athletic shorts with a black strip on them. Looking up Josh saw Ricking looking into the cup. He was wearing sunglasses, hiding his dangerous blue eyes as he smirked in approval to Josh's movements.

"Morning, runt." Ricky announced as he tipped the glass over, causing Josh to tumble off his tired feet and scream. Tipping the glass even more, Ricky watched as Josh rolled right to the edge. Quickly out of his pocket, Rick located an empty tic-tac container and poured the tiny man inside. Raising the container to his handsome face, Josh looked on in horror as he held his hands against the plastic of his new prison.

"Wouldn't want you to try and pull a stunt and escape, now would I?" Ricky laughed as he moved the container back to his pocket, shrouding Josh in darkness. Josh couldn't believe how well thought out Ricky's plan was. With the top of the container sealed, there was nothing Josh could do but sit in the dark and listen to his smug voice.

Meanwhile, Ricky ran a hand through his blonde hair. He was ready to work his magic on those fools at the park and put the tiny man in his pocket though hell. Turning and closing his door, he started his walk to the park.

Upon reaching Shrink and Swim, Ricky already knew the two back doors. One was an interview room, the other was a break room. Walking toward the break room, Ricky confidently opened the door. Looking around it was mostly empty, that of course except for one other man.

"Just as planned." Ricky thought to himself as he spotted that dumb oaf from before, Tyler. Ricky smiled fakely as Tyler waved at him, recognizing him from yesterday.

"Hey dude! Ricky right?" Tyler asked enthusiastically as Ricky walked forward to greet him.

"Yeah, you're Tyler right?" Ricky said smugly, happy that Josh accidentally gave away the man's name.

"Yeah dude, judging by the fact that you're here today you must have gotten hired! I didn't even have to talk to the boss. Although I'm not sure where he went yesterday.." He said looking down at the ground.

"He told me he wasn't feeling well in the interview. Also last night when he called me he did mention it again. Maybe he stayed home sick?" Ricky said hiding a devious grin behind his thoughtful sounding words. Tyler rubbed his head. It wasn't normal for Josh to miss work because of being sick. Even still it was weirder he wouldn't call him and let him know. Shaking the thought, Tyler figured it was best to get Ricky situated first. Walking over to a computer panel, Tyler fumbled the commands a little as he entered Ricky into the system and had a uniform transported into the room. Handing it to the man with a smile Tyler turned as Ricky changed in front of him.

Quickly, Ricky tried to take the tic-tac container out of his old pocket and move it to the back pocket of his new board shorts. Moving his hand swiftly, Ricky looked up as Tyler turned to him again. Ricky, stood up straight and patted the container as he felt it settle down beside his ass as Tyler looked at him…

Ricky froze for a moment. Was he suspicious? Did he somehow see his boss in the container? "Er, yeah. Gotta have fresh breath if I'm gonna save someone's life." He flashed a smile as he tried to read Tyler's expression.

"Might I ask you for one?" Tyler asked. "I used up the last of my toothpaste last night and well… you probably don't want to endure my morning breath, especially since I'll be the one training you."

A wave of relief washed over Ricky, relief that quickly gave way to an evil joy. A wonderfully torturous way of disposing of his captive just presented itself to him. While he had planned on dragging things out, this was just too perfect. "Yeah sure." He pulled out the container and popped the top before handing it over. "Looks like it's my last one so you had better make it last."

"Last one? Oh, well I don't want to take-" Tyler starts to say before Ricky cuts him off.

"Please, it's no trouble. I insist. Here." He starts shaking the nearly empty box over the now open palm or his unwitting accomplice.

Tyler relents, "Well if you insist. Honestly I probably need a few to tame this funk but it will have to do." Ricky could barely contain his wicked delight as he saw the tiny man tumble out. A second later and the hand holding him tossed him into the maw of his trusted coworker. Tyler licked the 'mint' around but didn't recognize the taste. "Hey what flavor is this? It tastes kinda… bland."

Ricky realized that he hadn't thought this through and racked his brain to make up an excuse. "Well… it's actually actually a foreign brand of mint. I just use the tic-tac box because it's convenient. It's… got a very mild taste and takes a loooong time to dissolve, fizzes a bit too. You feel it, like it's moving?"

Tyler pokes Josh into in cheek, "Yeah… I do feel it,"

Holy crap he was falling for it. Time to seal the deal. "Yeah they're a bit of an acquired taste these guys, I get them from a friend who travels. Just suck on 'em for as long as you want and then swallow 'em down. Oh, and don't take them out. I don't know what it is but they stain fingers like nothing else."

"Huh… well thanks for the new experience then man," Tyler smiles having fallen for the crazy story. "Anyway, now that you are changed we can move on to the tour."

- - -

Josh could do nothing but listen as his captor tried to pawn him off as a breath-mint. Being inside a mouth was terrifying and disgusting enough without having to worry about the smell. There was no escape from the container though, at least until it turned upside-down. The seismic shaking and smoothness of the plastic walls made it impossible to prevent the short fall onto Tyler's palm. Disoriented, Josh called out, "Tyler! It's me! Don't eat me!" His cries would go unheard as the floor went sideways and he tumbled into the dark mouth. Josh screamed as flew through the hot, thick air. He landed with a *splat* and an "Oof" in the middle of the sticky tongue. The stench hit him like a punch in the gut. It burned his throat, brought tears to his eyes, and made him heave. Tyler was right, he certainly needed more than a mint to cover this nastiness up and unfortunately, all he was getting was his tiny boss.

The tongue sprang to life and began tasting Josh, probing and sliding the slick, scum-covered buds against him. Gooey saliva oozed from it and everywhere else to ensure that Josh felt violated. Tyler's voice boomed around him as he spoke to Ricky, far too loud for Josh to make out and presented Josh with another dilemma, should he hold his nose or his ears. Tossed in every direction, Josh smacked against hard teeth, spongy flesh and globs of spit. The smell of his subordinate's horrible breath made Josh wish that he would just pass out. He tried to cry out for help, but he simply could not fill his lungs with the toxic air. The weak shouts he could muster were drowned out but the wet smacking of muscle.

- - -

About 20 minutes had passed and the tour was going fine. Ricky seemed eager and quick to pick up on things. The only thing wrong was this this mint didn't seem to be helping. Tyler's mouth still felt nasty and he noticed Ricky wince a few times when he got close. Tyler excuses himself to the bathroom, hoping to find something else to deal with the problem. Tyler worked the ineffective mint to the middle of his tongue and…

No use in trying to get this thing to work anymore, Tyler thought to himself. Ricky just must have been wrong about how effective these mints were. No matter how he shoved the thing around in his mouth, rolling it across his tongue every possible way, his breath just didn't seem to improve. But he wasn't about to just waste it. All things considered, he was starting to enjoy the taste a little. Besides, mints were food, like anything else.

Josh felt Tyler's tongue shift for the millionth time, but he could immediately tell that it was for a much more sinister purpose. The broad, pink carpet rolled out beneath him, pushing him to the center. Tastebuds crashed across his face as he was forced downward. He couldn't see a thing, but he could immediately tell that he was further back on Tyler's tongue than ever before. "No… no no nonononono!"

Josh screamed and tried to force himself to his feet as realization dawned. His body was soaked in Tyler's drool. It was nearly impossible to get to his feet on the already slippery surface. He pushed and scrambled, trying to grab anything that he could. But in the end, it was hopeless. He hardly had two seconds before Tyler's tongue reared up. It forced him backward, slamming his tiny form against the back of Tyler's throat.

Mashed between two muscles, one smooth and one rough, Josh knew he was screwed. In the moment before Tyler swallowed, he found himself hoping for a miracle.

"All set dude?" Tyler asked as he watched Ricky stand up and look at him. Ricky gave off an unassuming smile as he replied.

"Yeah, man. where do we start with this training?" Ricky asked politely as he took his hand off his ass, moving back in front of his body along his torso. Tyler looked down at the floor, however at Ricky's discarded clothes.

"We can hook you up with a locker you know. We got a pretty sweet gym here too, dude." Tyler said as he bent over to Pick up Ricky's clothes. Ricky simply smirked as the dumb oaf collected his clothes for him.

"Aw thanks dude!" Ricky said almost condescendingly. "You didn't have to grab my stuff for me!"

Tyler simply smiled, being the nice guy that he was as he had Ricky follow him through a doorway leading to the break room's personal gym. The pair walked past a couple of machines and weights as they got to the back of the room. There around a wall was a small locker room. Tyler looked around for a locker without a lock, opened it up and stored Ricky's clothes carefully inside. "There! Locker 6! All your's dude!"

Ricky smiled fakely as he thanked Tyler once more, and the two left the locker room, back into the break room. Tyler stopped, putting a hand on his chin in thought for a second. Ricky hesitated, hoping the moron didn't realize something somehow. "Ok, dude. So from what I heard you are CPR certified and you've worked at a water park before. So you don't really need training, huh?"

Ricky sighed in relief, glad that's all the huge man had on his mind. "Yeah for sure. I know all the basics. All you really need to do is show me around."

Tyler shook his head as he headed for the door to go back outside. "Alright, dude. Let the tour begin!"

Ricky put a hand on his back pocket thinking for a second. After a quick decision, Ricky elected to…

"Yeah hold up a sec, dude. I forgot something I want to throw in my locker." Ricky said as he turned away from Tyler to make his way back into the locker room. Out of sight, and out of ear shot, Ricky pulled out his tiny captive as he made his way to his locker. Looking down at the little man in the tic tac box, Ricky smirked as he saw the pathetically small man pound on the walls of his plastic prison. Ricky simply chuckled as he lowered the case down into his locker.

"Your dumbass friend was retarded enough to give me this locker." Ricky mocked as he leaned over to look at Josh with his dangerous blue eyes with a lift of his sunglasses. "Who knows, maybe next thing you know he'll forget about you and be my friend instead?"

Ricky laughed as he watched the little man fume angrily beyond the plastic walls. His pathetic voice was way to small to pierce the walls, as Ricky figured would be the case. Closing the locker, Ricky shook his head and smiled in amusement. He couldn't believe how easy this was after all. Looking around he found a little lock and key, laying on a nearby desk. Grabbing the lock, Ricky secured it to his locker, just in case any of the other morons around here got curious and snooped in his stuff. Dropping the key in a zipper pocket, Ricky patted it quickly as he made his way out of the room.

- - -

Josh sat down in the darkness. Practically in tears, both from fear and anger, he couldn't help but pound his fist to the ground.

"Shit… why the hell did I do that." Josh cried as he shook his hand side to side. Sighing in angst, Josh couldn't help but stare down at the floor and feel hopeless. Maybe Ricky really had won after all. Tears ran down his cheeks finally as he thought about the terrible things he was saying about Tyler behind his back, only to go approach the man like dear friend. He couldn't help but feel disgusted, not only with Ricky, but in himself for allowing his to go about deceiving his friends here at the park.

Staring up at the top of the container he was help prisoner in, Josh wished there was some way he could escape and tell someone, anyone, about Ricky's scheme. Pulling his legs up against his chest and resting his chin, Josh couldn't help but feel his situation was totally hopeless.

"Maybe they are too dumb to figure it out…"

- - -

After what seemed like hours, Ricky and Tyler had made their way around the park. The faker of a man even managed to meet every other lifeguard in the park, sucking up to each one as he made his way around with Tyler. Smirking to himself, he couldn't help but feel like his infiltration has been a total success thus far.

"Yo, Rickster!" Tyler called at the blonde man as he looked like he was spaced out. Ricky quickly shook off his scheme to reply happily with a smile.

"What up Ty? What we doing next?" He asked, trying to sound enthusiastic.

"Well, dude, it's lunchtime." Tyler said blinking a little confused. Putting a hand on his stomach Tyler felt the need to accentuate his point. "I'm starved dude. Come on a few of the guys wanna split a pizza!"

"Sounds great, man!" Ricky said with his fake smile. All the while thinking to himself this might be the perfect opportunity to show that pathetic speck just how reliable his staff is.

Making their way out of the park Ricky and Tyler joked back and fourth with each other as they made their way around the back of the building, going to the break room. Pushing the door open like he owned the place Ricky looked out into the room as the decadent aroma of pizza filled his nostrils. Two men sat down at the kitchen table, and the pair stood up to greet Ricky and Tyler as they made their way in. Ricky put on his best smile as he recognized the men to be…

Ricky smirked as two blonde men jumped forward, happy to greet Ricky and have lunch. Ricky grinned as he looked at Matt first. He was the same height as Ricky and seemed quiet a bit leaner. His blonde hair was a bit shorter than his own and he even had similar striking blue eyes. He wore a shark tooth's necklace which rested perfectly between his pecs as well. Putting out his hand he, shook Matt's, quickly comparing his bicep to Matt's as he did. Backing away, he smirked as he realized he was definitely built a bit stronger than the leaner surfer dude.

"Dude! We got the pizza! Luke and and I are starved!" Matt cried enthusiastically as he put his hands on his stomach, as Luke came forward putting his arm around Matt.

Ricky smirked as he looked at Luke. He was slightly shorter than him, by maybe an inch. But Ricky felt a little leery about him none the less. He was built like a tank. His muscles looked much more thickly than his or Matt's and easily would give even Tyler a run for his money. The buzzed blonde green eyed stud seemed like he could easily suplex him or Matt if he felt like it. His saving grace though, which Ricky realized all too quickly, was that he's dumb as bricks and easily the goofiest guy at the park. Ricky looked as Luke turned a little, showing his back, which reminded him that Luke had a tattoo of a bird on his back, between his shoulders. Either way, Ricky continued to smirk, knowing this clown couldn't possibly ruin any of his plans.

"I'm with Matt on this! Ricky, my man! Let's eat!" Luke yelled as he drug Matt off back to the kitchen table to lay out some plates and grab a few drinks. Ricky turned and looked at Tyler, who simply smiled as he walked past him to go to the table.

"I'll be right there, dudes! Just have to grab something!" Ricky called out as Luke jumped up and down impatiently. Excusing himself, Ricky turned to go into the gym and toward his locker. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "This is gonna be too easy!"

Arrogantly strolling toward the locker room, Ricky quickly fished into his pocket to pull out the key to unlock his locker. Undoing the lock and opening the door, he looked down at the pale disgruntled speck he held captive.

"That room is just full of morons. Between that clown, Luke, that wimp, Matt, and your stupid oaf, you're as good as a pizza topping my little runt." Rick taunted as Josh stood up in his prison, attempting to scream as loud as he could to stop insulting his friends. Putting a finger in his ear and moving it around Ricky leaned forward. "Sorry runt, your voice is just too wimpy and pathetic."

Laughing some more as he watched the minuscule man huff and stamp his feet he figured it was about time he drafted his plan. Putting his hand on his chin he tried to weigh his options. He could just take the little runt out now and drop him smack dab in the middle of the pizza when he gets back. On the other hand, Ricky thought, he could keep him in his little plastic prison and sit on it while he prolonged the man's suffering.

Reaching down to the tic tac container, Ricky made up his mind to…

Grabbing the tic tac container, Ricky popped off the top and poured the terrified tiny man out into his hand. He heard a tiny voice start to rebel as he closed his hand into a fist, trapping little Josh inside. Dropping his fist to his side, Ricky put the tic tac container back in his locker and shut the door. Casually making his way out of the locker room, Ricky chuckled slightly to himself as he felt his tiny victim fight and thrash about in his closed hand. Bringing his fist up to his face he smirked as he whispered to the little guy.

"I wouldn't waste all that energy if I was you. Or you know, do. It'll make it all the easier for your friends to end you." Dropping his fist down, he felt the struggles cease. He smiled as he figured he must have sufficiently terrified the little man to the point where he froze up. Turning the corner Ricky reentered the break room only to be greeted by a loud strange noise.

GROOOOAAANNN

Ricky looked over at the table, confused as he saw the three men sitting there with the food untouched. Luke clutched his stomach, rubbing it briefly as he turned a little red. "Sorry that was me!"

Ricky walked over to the table, pulling back a seat and looking at the men while he rested his fist on his lap. "You guys waited for me?"

Luke pipped up with a friendly smile as he stomach rumbled once again, albeit much less loudly. "Much to my stomach's disagreement! But yeah of course dude!"

Smiling to himself over how truly stupid all of them were, Ricky reached out with his fist, opening it over the middle of the pizza as he grabbed his slice. Looking at the pizza he could barely see the tiny man struggle as he fell helplessly into the sea of sticky yellow cheese. Satisfied that his work was done, Ricky took a bite of his pizza as he waited for hell to break loose for the puny speck.

- - -

Struggling with tears in his eyes Josh tried desperately to free himself from the sticky cheese. He watched as one by one each of his friends reached in and grabbed slices of pizza. Somehow avoiding the first onslaught however, Josh couldn't help but think it was worse that his inevitable fate had to be put off. Waving his arms in every direction Josh hoped someone would spot him, if not someone would at least grab the slice of pizza he was on and end this whole horrible ordeal.

Frowning as his body burnt in agony, Josh tried to fight the pain of the hot melty cheese as it cooked his skin. Trying to distract himself he looked out around. Luke was tearing through his slice of pizza without mercy. Josh watched in horror as the huge muscular stud swallowed huge pieces of his meal as he set it down to periodically take a large gulp from his cup.

"BUUUUURRRAAPP!" Luke bellowed intensely as he rubbed a hand on his solid 6 pack. Matt laughed at the obnoxious belch as he swallowed down a bite of his own pizza. Tyler leaned toward his friend, patting him on the back.

"You getting full already, buddy?" Tyler asked raising an eyebrow as Luke started to dig back into his pizza.

"You kidding!" Luke spurted with a mouth full of food, while he chewed with his mouth open. He quickly swallowed the food as he finished, " I was just making room, brah!"

Josh stared up at the men as they joked and chewed their food rudely. Looking over at Ricky however, Josh saw the enormous man smirking evilly at him. Wincing in pain from the molten cheese, Josh started to tear up as Ricky addressed his friends. "So fellas. I wanted to let you know I heard a few rumors about this place before I left the other water park."

Luke stopped chewing, immediately swallowing the rest of his pizza whole. Pounding his chest for a second, he took a deep drink of his soda to get the huge chunk to go down. "Like what, dude?"

"Ok so get this." Ricky said moving in closer to try and draw everyone's attention. "I heard the owner here has some crazy shrinking fetish. That's why he made the park."

Tyler stopped chewing for a second, swallowing his food as he started to clench a fist. Looking up however, his tension was quickly relieved by Matt.

"He does seem to prefer being small all the time, but so what dude?" Matt said taking a sip from his soda. Ricky quickly glared down at the tiny speck in the pizza before looking back up at the idiots.

"You don't think that's weird or suspicious at all?" Ricky tried to plead with the men as he desperately wanted them to turn against their boss.

"Pretty sure he's even mentioned to all of us at some point. Besides if that's his thing, that's his thing. Who are we to judge?" Luke said professionally as he munched away at his crust before he moved on to another slice of pizza.

Frustrated, Ricky sneered at Josh's direction as he tried to concoct a new lie, trying to get any kind of disgust for these men to feel for Josh. "I heard another rumor too. A rumor that the owner is gay."

Luke put down his crust and crossed his arms. "Dude that's not cool."

Ricky perked up, happy to see Luke was on his side. "Yeah dude, not gonna lie I was feeling real uncomfortable in my interview."

"No, dude." Luke said looking at Ricky seriously. "You're being uncool."

Matt decided to chime in as well. "Yeah seriously, dude. Even if it were true, who cares? Or did I forget we were living in the 50's or something?"

Luke laughed as he gave Matt a high five. Tyler simply smiled as he took another bite of his food, glad to see he didn't have to step in to defend Josh. Meanwhile Ricky sat there, dumb stuck as he stared at Josh's tiny form in the cheese, looking like it was dancing with glee. Fuming with rage, Ricky clenched his teeth as he decided to…

Glaring at the tiny man he dropped on the pizza, Ricky knew he wasn't finished trying to turn these idiots against their boss. Assuming he had the perfect lie, Ricky tried to persuade them one last time. "You say that, Luke. But I think you fail to realize that if this was true, your boss could be a tiny pervert, he could even be watching us right now."

Luke and Matt looked over at Tyler as they saw him set down his pizza. Both men looked at each other as they saw a fit of rage start to build in the man's eyes. Without a word, Luke and Matt both picked up their plates and scooted back their chairs a little as Ricky continued his thought. "I bet he record you guys without even knowing it. Little fa--"

Ricky was cut off suddenly as Tyler shoved the table while he stood up suddenly to punch Ricky square in the jaw. Knocking the man to the floor in surprise, Tyler looked down at Ricky with fire in his eyes. "Don't you fucking say another word!"

Ricky sat up slightly, rubbing his jaw in surprise. Before he could even retaliate, he watched as Tyler walked over, looming over him while Luke and Matt sat off to the side, watching in a bit of fear. "You never talk about my friend like that, got it?!"

Ricky started to back away using his hands as Tyler stomped his foot down, right in Ricky's chest. Stopping in his tracks, Ricky figured this situation was a bit far gone. "Awww did I touch a nerve, Ty?"

"Get the fuck out." Tyler commanded as he took his foot off of Ricky, allowing the man to stand up. "Get out. Grab your stuff and leave. You're fired."

Ricky couldn't help but smirk as he rubbed his chest while he walked past Tyler. Laughing to himself since he was never really hired in the first place. "Last I checked you aren't the boss."

"I'll take responsibility when I see him. Get out." Tyler commanded once more while he watched Ricky leave to the locker room to retrieve his belongings. Tyler sighed as Ricky left the room.

"Who knew he was such an asshole?" Tyler said, looking down in disappointment.

Matt and Luke looked at each other, wondering if it was safe to respond. Luke, figuring it wasn't him Tyler was mad at, decided to speak up. "Don't worry dude. We all thought he was cool at first."

Tyler looked over at the two with a half smile as they tried to smile back, trying to make him feel a little better. The moment was a bit short lived however, as Ricky reappeared at the doorway, changed back into his old clothes. Tyler glared at the man as he walked toward the door.

"Enjoy your pizza, retards." Ricky mocked harshly as he opened the door, disappearing to the other side without a word from anyone. Sighing once more, Tyler turned back to his chair and sat down with a loud flop. Resting his right arm on the back of the chair as he leaned back a little, Tyler looked down at the floor with a blank stare. Meanwhile, Luke and Matt inched their chairs back toward the table and set their plates back down.

"Come on man, don't let him get to you." Luke said trying to get Tyler to get back to his normal self. Tyler simply took a sip from his drink, swallowing hard as he continued to stare at the floor.

"I'm fine dude. Just lost my appetite is all." Tyler mumbled as his eyes wondered over at his unfinished pizza.

"It's cool dude. At least sit with us and try to enjoy your break, man." Matt said with a friendly grin as he took a quick bite of his pizza.

Tyler smiled as he looked at his two friends. "Thanks dudes."

- - -

"Oooooh my head!" Josh cried as he shook his head, wondering what the heck happened. His vision was still a little off, but the last thing he remembered the whole table shifted and he went flying off in some direction. Rubbing his eyes, Josh tried desperately to get his bearing before something bad could possibly happen. At the very least, Josh was glad to find the heat of the melty cheese was gone, however Josh now found himself…

Ricky looked at the men he met earlier as he recognized them both. First he looked over at Brody, the huge man easily towered over him by a few inches. He seemed like a really genuinely nice guy. He has short back hair and deep brown eyes. Ricky felt like the man could probably out muscle him if he wanted to as he looked up and down at his huge bouncing pecs and solid 6 pack complete with a black treasure tail leading down to his short. Around his enormous right bicep the hunk even had a tattoo of chain going around it. Shaking his hand as he came up, Brody greeted him with a friendly smile.

"Like the park, bro?" Brody asked as Ricky simply nodded his head. That was another thing, Ricky remembered that this guy acted like a total bro the entire time he was talking to him earlier.

Next, Ricky looked over to see the other lifeguard, Brett, come over to say hi. Ricky couldn't really get a good read on Brett. He was only slightly taller than he was, and certainly a lot less thickly muscled than him. The thing that intimidated him about Brett though was his thin blue eyes, that looked as if they were judging every step he took. Not to mention his 8 pack, showing off the fact that he really worked hard on the definition of his long torso. Otherwise, the shaggy brown haired man seemed like a typical pretty boy, with a massive ego to match according to Tyler. Finally, Ricky peeked at Brett's left pec as he remembered the Japanese symbols he had tattooed on it. When asked, he was informed they stood for "Courage" and "Strength". Ricky swallowed as Brett stared at him with his sharp blue eyes as he extended out his hand.

"Rick." He simply said as he shook the hand back with a nod. Sighing, he watched as Brett backed away, heading back over to the table. Ricky couldn't help but glare at the back of his head as he walked away. Turning back to Tyler and Brody, however Ricky smiled as he made his way to the door leading to the gym.

"Guys I just gotta grab something real quick!" He said as he slid through the door, dropping his smile to a frustrated frown as soon as he was out of sight. Gritting his teeth and tightening his fists, he couldn't help but feel an intense dislike for Brett.

"The hell is wrong with that guy…" He mumbled angrily as he made his way into the locker room. Pulling out his key from his pocket, Ricky popped open the lock and swung his locker open, revealing his still trapped little man. Seeing him curled up slightly, Ricky couldn't help but mock the tiny guy.

"What's the matter little guy? Scared?" He said in a baby voice as he looked at Josh's head perking up slightly. "Too bad, runt. It's only gonna get worse."

Ricky laughed as he grabbed the tic tac container and deposited it in his back pocket once more as he shut the door to the locker and made his way back out of the gym. Walking back into the break room he smiled as he saw Tyler setting down some paper plates, and Brody grabbing some cups and soda. Sitting down at the table however he saw Brett, glaring at him. Dropping his smile to a straight face, Ricky started to sweat as Brett's eyes kept their unwavering attention on him as he made his way over to the table, sitting down beside him.

"What'd you need to grab, Rick?" Brett said coldly as he grabbed a bottle of soda, pouring himself a cup full.

"Nothing important, man." He replied, not looking at Brett as he reached into the box of pizza to grab a slice.

"Uh huh." Brett shot back with as much chill as before. Grabbing a slice of pizza for himself as Brody and Tyler pulled out pieces to put on their plates as well. Brett suddenly stood up with Tyler and Brody as the three turned their backs briefly.

"Where are those napkins, bro?" Brody said, hunched over looking under the sink.

Ricky started to sweat as he reached into his pocket quietly, pulling out the tic tac container and looking out at the three slices of pizza. Thinking for a second, he wasn't entirely sure if he wanted to to go with Tyler as his executioner after all. Brett was acting like such a smug asshole, it made Ricky's blood boil. Focusing again, Ricky decided to drop Josh on…

With an arrogant smirk, Ricky decided he had enough of Brett's smugness. Whatever Brett's reason for disliking him, he didn't care as he tilted the tic tac container over Brett's pizza as he watched Josh's tiny body fall out directly into the sticky cheese. Looking up, Ricky saw the three men still had their backs turned. For good measure, Ricky chuckled to himself as he pressed Josh's flailing body down into the pizza, leaving a barely noticeable finger print. Retracting his hand just as Brett turned around, Ricky found himself being greeted with the same, disapproving gaze. Sitting back in his chair, Ricky simply put his hands behind his head, smiling as he flexed his arms slightly as he revealed his hairy arm pits.

Brett simply sat down as Tyler came around the table, dropping off the pile of napkins the three men found. Tyler rubbed his hands together as he looked down at his pizza, grabbing it quickly by the crust and nearly shoving the entire piece into his mouth. After only a few chews Ricky watched astonished, as Tyler swallowed the huge bite down in one gulp. Blinking in amazement, he started to regret not putting his tortured victim on Tyler's piece as he looked over at Brett who barely bit into his pizza on his first bite. Sighing to himself, Ricky was a little disappointed. If Brett kept eating his pizza like that he'd take forever to carry out his nefarious plan.

"UUUUURRRRP!" A tremendous belch erupted from the other side of the table. Ricky looked over as Brody was patting his stomach as he set down his cup of soda. " 'Scuse me bros! That was as nasty one!"

Brett actually set down his pizza to laugh at Brody's reaction, the first time in fact he's shown any emotion since Ricky got here. Ricky, meanwhile took a bite from his own pizza. Closing his eyes now he felt dumb not to even have considered executing that little runt using Brody. Even he was eating his pizza with much more rush and hunger than Brett! Swallowing his food down, as he peeked over at Brett while he took another bite. Remembering where he pressed the pathetic little man in, Ricky started to get impatient.

"Not hungry, Brett?" Ricky asked politely as he watched Brett stare down intently at his pizza. Bret simply shot Ricky a quick glare as he set the slice down.

"Dunno why, but I've felt sick to my stomach all day." Brett said as he squinted his eyes. "Right about since this morning actually."

Ricky looked away, down back at his own pizza. His mind started to race over what Brett could possibly mean by that. Looking up he looked at Brody as he picked a piece of crust out of his teeth before licking it back up and swallowing it down. Out of the corner of his eye he also saw Tyler, sitting there eating his food in an unusual silence. Starting to sweat, Ricky just took a big bite of his pizza and hoped the guys might just converse amongst each other.

- - -

Josh struggled and squirmed as he tried to peek his head out somehow. The sticky and hot pizza burnt painfully on his skin and face as he tried desperately to free his head. Not daring to open his eyes until he did, Josh finally looked out to see none other than Brett holing onto the piece he was stuck to. His mouth still covered in cheese, Josh tried with all his might to scream something as he watched Brett's mouth close around right in front of him. Barely avoiding being take in the bite, Josh started to sob as he imagined it wouldn't be long before Brett took his next bite.

Watching Brett slowly chew the mass of food in his mouth was like watching some sort of horror movie. Just tried not to imagine to hell that would be the inside of the sexy stud's mouth as the food is mushed to bits in seconds as Brett's saliva soaks the part of the meal before finally sending it down to his cavernous belly. Josh winced as Brett finally did in fact swallow. Opening his mouth once more Josh watched as he moved closer and closer to the dark cave that would surly engulf him. Out of the corner of his eye however, Josh caught a quick glace as he saw a faint smirk form on the face of Ricky as Brett's mouth finally closed down on top of him.

The bite of pizza was quickly detached from the main piece as it sat precariously in the middle of Brett's massive tongue. Josh tried to breath in through his nose, but the foul air was filled nothing but the scent of cheese and sauce as he almost coked on the thick air. Josh closed his eyes. Knowing there was no way out of this.

- - -

Ricky watched with baited breath as Brett sat there with the piece of pizza completely vanishing into his mouth. Biting his lip, Ricky watched as Brett…

Ricky watched as Brett held on for a second, before simply swallowing the small morsel of food. Sighing as he set his pizza back down, Brett casually put a hand on his stomach. Ricky smirked, realizing what just transpired was too good to be true. He was pretty sure Brett didn't even chew the piece, meaning he sent that tiny bastard down whole. Laughing to himself in his head, Ricky instantly got put in a good mood over the small ordeal.

"You alright, man?" Ricky said showing fake concern for the stud he just unknowingly fed a tiny person. Brett simply turned his head, giving Ricky a disapproving look. Looking back forward once again, Ricky seemed disappointed by this whole mess.

"Alright dude." Tyler finally chimed in as he looked at Brett. "I don't get it. What's your deal with Ricky?"

Brett simply scoffed as he couldn't believe he was actually being questioned on why he does or doesn't immediately like someone. Brody looked at Brett with a frown as well however. "Come on, bro. He's a nice guy."

Ricky looked at Tyler and Brody, dumb struck that they suddenly came to his defense like this. Smiling, he knew exactly how to play out the situation. "It's alright guys. He doesn't have to like me."

Brett looked down, sighing as he turned to look at Ricky for the first time without a glare. "I'm sorry, man. I just had this weird feeling about you in the pit of my stomach. Maybe I have been a little too harsh."

"Maybe it's just indigestion!" Ricky said on purpose, but trying to make it sound like a joke. Brett chuckled as he put a hand back on his stomach once more. Ricky smirked as he suddenly had an amazing, and horrible plan. "If your stomach is really bothering you, maybe you should take tums or something?"

Brett took his hand off his ripped abdomen and looked over at Ricky with a friendly grin. "You know, that's a great idea, Ricky."

Ricky smiled innocently as he watched Brett stand up and walk his way over to the bathroom. A few seconds later, he saw the pretty boy return as he popped a few antacid chewables into his mouth. Ricky stood up as he grabbed an empty plastic cup and filled it with tap water. "Here dude, drinking water will help too."

Grabbing the cup, Brett thanked Ricky for being so helpful as he swallowed down a gulp full of water. Brody and Tyler looked at each other with smiles on their faces, glad to see that Brett was finally calming down. Sitting back down, Brett and Ricky continued to chat with each other as Brett exclaimed that his stomach felt like it was settling down already. Ricky patted his new "friend" on the back, pretending like he was glad to hear it.

- - -

"What the hell is going on up there!" Josh yelled as he stared up into the deep darkness. Somehow the acids in the stomach managed to break him free from his cheesy prison, but it seemed like the caustic prison took a break for no apparent reason. Josh's nose twinged a little as an odd smell wafted about the already horrible smelling chamber. Mushing around in the mess of half digested food, Josh found the source of smell. Looking down at in the darkness he could barely make out a pinkish color as well as it having a somewhat chalky texture to it under a layer of slim.

"Tums?" Josh said to himself as he recognized the smell, as he needed to take the antacid occasionally himself for some less than agreeable foods. Josh looked around as his eyes finally started to adjust. The walls of Brett's stomach swayed and churned slowly and in eerie rhythmic patterns. Josh swallowed nervously as he realized it really was like the stomach was on break. With the medicine doing it's job, Josh figured the acid in Brett's stomach would be neutralized for at least a hour or two.

"Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe it gives them time to find me!" Josh exclaimed as he started to move away from the chewed up pile of antacid. A noise suddenly erupted from above as Josh looked up excitedly, hoping maybe it was a sign he would be brought up any second. Instead, a torrent of water crashed down into Brett's massive belly. Josh struggled to find the surface of the water as he swam viciously in an upward direction. After a second however, the liquid managed to disperse fairly evenly across the expansive cavern. Taking a breath as he reached the surface, Josh choked for a second as the putrid stomach air filled his lungs. Frowning, Josh tried his best to locate some solid piece of land to take shelter on as he swam along listening to Brett's stomach sway and churn it's contents.

Finding a half eaten piece of pizza, Josh climbed aboard what was left before the tums kicked in. Josh looked out across the water, almost like it was a lost lake inside a cave nobody's discovered. Closing his eyes, Josh listend to Brett's powerful heartbeat tick along as the pulses sounded so close, yet to him the heart might as well have been miles away from where he sat, wet and alone within Brett's body.

- - -

"Last slice, you sure you don't wanna eat Brett?" Tyler asked as his hand hovered over the last greasy piece of pizza.

"Nah dude, go for it. I actually feel good right now, I don't want that greasy shit screwing up my stomach." Brett replied as he leaned back in his chair, rubbing his defined 8 pack happily. Tyler simply snagged the slice, nearly shoving the entire piece into his mouth at once. Ricky watched his as he devoured the pizza like some sort of animal. It was a little disappointing to him that he didn't get that little pest to meet his end inside that ravenous beast, however he couldn't help but smile evilly to himself as he thought how terrified the little man must be to be trapped helplessly in Brett's stomach as it refused to digest him for awhile. Rubbing his chin while he was deep in his imagination of Josh's horrors, he snapped back to reality as Tyler swallowed down the piece with a large gulp.

"BUUUUUUUUURRRRRRP!" Ricky watched as the sound nearly exploded from Tyler's mouth. Tyler stood up and started pounded on his chest, seemingly getting pumped up. "Aw yeah! Let's go! I'm ready to guard some lives!

Brody got up and followed as he and Tyler stormed out of the room, apparently eager to get to work. Ricky looked over at Brett, who shook his head as the two ran off. "Guess that means I'm cleaning up."

Ricky watched as Brett stood up and started to collect the paper plates. Smirking, Ricky decided to stand up and help, further cementing his charming innocence he was trying to impose on Brett. Brett grinned as he saw Ricky close the pizza box and bring it over to the garbage can. "Thanks, man. Hey… again I'm really sorry I misjudged you."

Ricky chuckled to himself with malcontent as he turned back around to face Brett with a fake smile. "Don't worry, dude. I'm just glad we're cool now."

Brett half smiled as he finished piling up the trash before he tossed it all into the garbage. "Well, you gonna run off with those two? They seemed pretty eager."

Ricky shrugged, not really sure what he should do now that his charade was pretty much over. "Dunno man. What were you up to?"

Brett ran a hand through his hair, scratching his scalp a little as he thought. "I didn't really eat, so I thought I'd do a bit of cardio in the gym for a few hours."

Ricky smiled, wondering how much hell that would put that pathetic loser in Brett's stomach. "That sounds good, man. Maybe I'll run with you."

Brett chuckled as he turned to go into the gym. "Just don't get a cramp, dude."

Ricky rolled his eyes as Brett turned the corner and was out of site, mouthing the words "Just don't get a cramp, dude" in a mocking fashion.

- - -

Josh lifted his head as Brett's stomach started to rock back and fourth. Holding on to his life raft of sorts, Josh realized Brett must be walking. Without warning, Brett's stomach started to bounce up and down violently as he moved in a back and fourth motion. Josh screamed in terror as he was easily flung off the piece of pizza he was feebly trying to take refuge on. The contents of Brett's stomach bounced in a flurry as everything started to mix and move in every which direction.

Josh tumbled in dizziness as Brett's stomach swirled him around for what seemed like an eternity. Bumping around and sliding on slick mucusy walls, Josh couldn't even tell which way was up and which way was down anymore. Constantly fading between unconsciousness and consciousness, Josh got no rest as he was sudden jerked around in every direction.

Everything stopped and settled. Josh's head spun like he had been trapped on some amusement park ride for who knows long. Vomiting with pure agony from his stomach, Josh simply kept his eyes closed while he hoped the world would stop spinning.

Without a clue how much time had passed, Josh tried to rest his head on the squishy floor of Brett's stomach. Unaware that tums had finished it's course by now. Fresh stomach acid started to well up and leak from the walls of Brett's stomach as the foul smelling liquid started to seep across Brett's belly. Feeling a twinge of pain on his face, Josh stumbled and fell gradually feeling his skin start to melt and peel as he writhed in agony. His time was finally up, and Brett's stomach was ready to go to work.

- - -

"Good run dude." Brett said wiping away some sweat from his face. Ricky simply smirked as he looked at Brett's impressive abs, knowing by now the little man must be delirious from Brett's run. Rubbing some sweat off his chest, Ricky smiled as he looked at Brett's face.

"How's your stomach, dude?" He asked, all too knowing of Josh's peril.

"Great, man. You were a big help." Brett said with a grin as he rubbed his hand up and down his long abdomen. Ricky smiled ruthlessly as his plan worked out perfectly in the end.

Ricky winced as Brett suddenly stood up without warning. Without a word, he simply disappeared into the gym. Making his way into the locker room, Brett stopped in front of his locker and opened the door. Opening up his mouth, Brett carefully removed the piece of pizza from off his tongue and set the wet and slimy morsel on the floor of his locker. Looking down in the cheese, he gingerly brushed his finger, moving aside some of the sticky cheese. Smirking, he watched as a tiny speck emerged from the cooling cheese, slowly unsticking himself as he went.

"Brett… how?" Josh whimpered, tears in his eyes as he looked at Brett's handsome face.

"I was in the locker room this morning. Right on the other side of the wall from him. I heard what he said to you, boss." Brett replied, looking very proud of himself. "He locked his locker though, so I had to improvise. Brody's known since this morning too. Him and I planned the lunch to lure him in."

Josh wiped away his tears, as he couldn't believe someone really was looking out for him this whole time. "What about Tyler?"

Brett shook his head, biting his lip. "He had no idea, dude. We told him when Ricky wandered off to get you just a few minutes ago. Brod and I had to convince him not to tackle the smug bastard when he came back in. We didn't want to risk hurting you."

Josh smiled. It was the first time he actually felt safe and secure in the past day and a half. "I was so scared, Brett…"

Brett leaned down a little closer, and smiled genuinely at his tiny boss. "You can tell us all about it, right after we get back at this piece of shit."

Tilting his head, Josh was curious what Brett was talking about. "What do you mean?"

Standing back up and crossing his arms, Brett set a cocky looking smirk on his face. "I was going to lead him to the break room while we're both still small. That's when Brody was gonna snatch the bastard. After I make my way back around we'll make him pay for what he did to you."

Josh looked down. He couldn't believe Brett and Brody would go through so much planning not only to save his life, but punish the one who did this to him. "Make him pay how?"

Brett put a hand on his chin, narrowing his deep blue eyes in thought. "Well his plan was to feed you to one of us. Maybe we should do to him what he was planning on putting you through?"

Josh twiddled his thumbs. Ricky was clearly not a good person. He kidnapped him and treated him like dirt. Josh bit his lip, wondering to himself if he should put the man through the same. Josh sat there for a second wondering, does Ricky really deserve a taste of his own medicine?

"No." Josh mumbled as he continued to look down at his hands. Brett leaned forward and raised an eyebrow, unsure if he heard Josh correctly.

"No? Well we could think of a different way to do him in." Brett smirked as he bent down in to talk to Josh a little closer.

Josh shook his head, feeling like a bad person just thinking about it. "No, Brett. I mean in general. He's a human being too after all."

Brett's smirk turned into more of a frown as he heard the distressed tiny man's words. "You didn't develop Stockholm's syndrome or something, did you?"

"I was barely even around him!" Josh shot back, feeling a little insulted. "I'd feel the same no matter who he was. A person is a person. We can't just get rid of him because we don't like him."

"But, boss! He tried to feed you to me!" Brett pleaded, pointing at himself for the added effect.

"I don't care. We aren't hurting him." Josh said, putting his tiny foot down finally.

Brett smiled as he looked down at the floor laughing. Josh grinned as the man's pearly whites showed while he laughed. "Alright. You're too nice, boss."

Josh nodded his head while he watched Brett stand back up to his full height and straighten his back as Josh spoke back, "It's the right thing to do."

Brett nodded as he turned away from Josh, leaving the door to his locker open. "I'll have Brody or Tyler come get you in a minute. I wanna make sure this lucky bastard is out of the building and at least 100 feet away before we take you back out to the break room."

Josh sat down, nodding in agreement. Even if Ricky was being let go, Josh was glad that Brett would show such caution just in case. Seeing Brett turn the corner and out of view, Josh leaned back on the floor of the locker. Smiling, he truly felt like it was the right thing to do.

- - -

Brett made his way out of the gym, turning the corner back into the break room. Looking over at Brody and Tyler, the two quickly shot him a look as Ricky sat there with a confused expression on his face. Brett moved himself in front of the exit, blocking it for the time being as he leaned up against the door. Looking over at the men sitting at the table, Brett finally spoke…

Brett's blue eyes narrowed as they quickly focused on Ricky. "Restrain him."

Tyler practically destroyed the table as he jumped over it, tackling a surprised Ricky quickly to the ground. Pinning him with both hands, Tyler used all of his strength to hold him place in time for Brody to come around the table and help hold him down. With Brody holding down Ricky's hands, Tyler punched Ricky right in his smug cheek.

"You fucking piece of shit!" Tyler yelled as he spat strands of saliva into Ricky's face while he screamed. Ricky simply started to laugh as he looked at at Tyler's face, which was red in anger.

"Oh boo hoo! Did you morons finally figure it out?" Ricky sneered with an evil smirk. "Your little friend is probably already dead by now!"

Tyler punched Ricky in the face a second time, screaming at the man in frustration. "Where is he you worthless asshole!?"

Ricky simply smiled as he spat right up in Tyler's face. Tyler didn't bother wiping his face as he dropped his hand down around Ricky's throat and started to choke the man in pure rage.

"Calm down dude, he's fine. I watched him put Josh in my pizza out of the corner of my eye." Brett said calmly as he walked forward to get a better view of the carnage by the table. Ricky simply blinked, looking confused as Tyler moved his hand off his throat.

"What? How?" Ricky asked genuinely surprised.

Brett smirked as he looked down at the pathetic man as he laid there pinned beneath Tyler and Brody. "I've been on to you all day. I just kept my eyes on you till you fucked up."

Ricky gritted his teeth. There was no way this could be happening to him! He worked out this entire plan flawlessly, how could these idiots figure this out? Relaxing his body for a second, he realized there was no point in struggling at the moment. Brody shook his head as he continued to hold down Ricky's arms, feeling them relax.

"Why did you do this, bro?" Brody asked, as hoped maybe Ricky wasn't such a bad guy after all.

Ricky simply scoffed as he turned his head away from Brody. "Because I hate weak, pathetic, useless…"

He was cut off by Tyler as he punched him in the face for a third time. Spitting up a bit of blood on the floor, Ricky finished, "…bitches."

Brody shook his head a second time, frowning. Looking up at Brett, he was curious what was next. "What are we doing with him, bro?"

Brett simply shrugged as he watched Ricky bleed a little more from his mouth. "Josh wanted to let him go."

Simultaneously, Tyler, Brody and even Ricky exclaimed the same response, "What?!"

Brody looked down at Ricky as he was just as surprised as he was. "Then why did we tackle him, bro?"

Tyler smiled evilly as a bead of sweat ran down his face, landing directly on Ricky's cheek below. "Because we aren't letting him go."

"Bingo." Brett said matter-of-factly as he walked around the room until he found some spare rope that was normally used to help pull people out of the water. Carrying the rope over, Brett had Brody and Tyler sit Ricky up and he went behind him, tying his hands firmly behind his back. Taking a little extra rope, he also made a quick couple loops around his torso, binding his arms firm to his body. Taking the excess, he tied it in the loop he had in the front, creating a makeshift leash.

"Stand up." Brett commanded as Ricky fumbled to his feet. Tyler grabbed the man by his arm however, forcing him up faster, roughly. Ricky leered angrily at the three men, still in disbelief he was somehow caught.

"Your boss is weak. He really wanted to let me go? What a joke. You lackeys can't even follow orders right though. I'm sure that'll make him all upset." Ricky mocked in a condescending tone. Tyler's fist shook as he couldn't help but punch Ricky as hard as he could in the gut. Ricky fell back slightly, landing on his knees coughing up a little more blood. "He might even wag his finger at you guys in disappointment."

Tyler kicked Ricky in the chest, causing the man to collapse back down on the floor. Coughing and wheezing with his face on the floor, Ricky couldn't help but smirk that he could get one last rise out of these idiots.

"Geez man." Brett said shaking his head. "You're gonna kill him before we even have any fun."

"I'm having fun." Ricky spurted, in sarcasm from the floor as Tyler's fists started to shake again in anger. Brody grabbed Tyler on the shoulder, trying to calm him a little. Relaxing his fists, Tyler tried to just ignore the trash that laid on the floor next to him.

"Anyway." Brett continued as he pulled a sock out of his pocket. "Let's gag him and lock him in the bathroom so we can get Josh out of here. I wanna get him home."

Moving forward, Brett took the sock and forced it into Ricky's mouth. Gagging on the foul piece of clothing, Brett couldn't help but smirk at their pathetic prisoner. "Like it? It's one of mine, just for you. Rickster."

The three men drug Ricky into the bathroom and Brett reached up into the cabinet, locating a roll of medical tape. Pulling off a couple of strips, he quickly pressed them over Ricky's lips. Filing out of the bathroom, Tyler was last to leave as he kicked Ricky in the abdomen once more. Satisfied with the painful groan it produced, he turned and shut the door behind him.

"Ok so." Brett said looking at Tyler and Brody, ready to explain his plan. "We'll bring Josh in here and I'll tell him I'll meet him back in the park. I'll explain the situation to one of the guys and have him bring Josh home."

"What do you want us to do, bro?" Brody asked as he peeked over at the door to the bathroom.

"Guard the door. Wait for me to come back, I'll bring a sack or something to toss that bastard in. Then we'll bring him around and shrink him. One of us will stay here and retrieve him after the other two bring him around." Brett said, making the plan sound very simple.

Tyler and Brody nodded as they started to pick up some of the mess they caused in the tussle earlier. Brett meanwhile, left the room and turned the corner to renter the gym. Making his way back over to the lockers, he saw his locker was still open. Smiling as he approached his tiny boss, he saw as the little man got up to his feet.

"Ready to go home, boss?" Brett said with a happy grin as he reached down, allowing Josh to get into his hand.

"For sure!" Josh pipped back. "I thought Tyler or Brody were going to come get me though."

Brett smiled, glad that was the only thing that Josh was worried about. "What? Sick of my beautiful face already?"

Josh scratched his cheek as he almost blushed while looking up at the handsome giant. "What? No of course not…"

Brett smirked as he was glad he put his little boss at ease. Closing the door to his locker, Brett left the room and made his way back into the break room. Josh looked out as they entered the room, seeing Tyler and Brody both standing by the bathroom door. Josh smiled widely as he saw Tyler, glad to see his best friend again for real after his traumatic experience. Tyler almost leapt forward as he was stopped mid-action by Brett's hand on his chest. Brett simply smiled as he walked past Tyler.

"Don't worry, the three of us are gonna visit you later once you've gotten some rest." Brett said, looking at Josh, but mostly directing the words at Tyler. Tyler stopped as he went back to standing by the door as he watched Brett leave Josh on the balcony leading back to the park. "I'll meet you around front, ok boss?"

Josh nodded to the shaggy haired stud as he turned around, ready to go into the park, and ready to go home. As Brett walked past Tyler and Brody, he nodded to the men as he made his way out of the break room and into the park as well.

- - -

Brett waved good bye to Josh as he and Ross stepped through the shrink ray to leave the park. Smiling, Brett quickly went to a nearly by storage room grabbing a large bag used to move deflated inner tubes. Leaving the park as well, Brett turned around to head to the back of the break room. Dragging the bag behind him, he swung open the door and greeted Brody and Tyler.

"Is Josh ok? Who'd you send him home with? Did he look hurt?" Tyler asked running up to Brett as he dropped the bag.

"I had Ross walk him home, so he'll be fine. Don't worry Ty." Brett said with a reassuring smile.

Tyler sighed in relief. "Oh good. I'm glad…"

Moving forward, Brett drug the bag to the bathroom door, opening it up and looking over at Ricky as he leaned up against the sink. Ricky glared as Brett walked over, tearing the tape off his mouth and pulling out the sock. Ricky simply smirked as he spat in Brett's face. Brett stood there, unmoving for a second until he wiped his face and called out of the bathroom. "Yo, Ty? Stuff this trash in the bag for me?"

Tyler appeared through the door, shouldering his way past Brett while he cracked his knuckles and smiled menacingly. "With pleasure."

Brett walked out of the room, still rubbing his face clean as he heard muffled cries and sounds of fists hitting bare skin. A second later he turned around to see Tyler standing there with the bag slung over his shoulder with ease. Brett smirked as he looked over at Brody.

"Alright, so Brod. You stay here and pick him up after Ty and I drop him off." Brett said as Brody nodded in agreement. Tyler on the other hand, frowned as he dropped the bag to the ground, causing a muffled "Oof!" to come from Ricky.

"No, dude. I wanna pick him up. You take Brod to drop him off." Tyler said looking serious.

Brett put a hand on his chin. Tyler's motives might be questionable, but in the end, Brett didn't really care what happened to this prick. Shrugging, Brett decided to have…

Brett bit his lip for a second, but he decided it might end up being the right thing to do. Smirking to himself, he couldn't help but think Tyler wanted this more than himself or Brody combined. "Alright man. Brod and I will bring him around. Be ready to pick him up in a few minutes."

Tyler simply nodded his head with a very serious look on his face. Brody came up beside Brett as the two men grabbed the sack, carrying it together on their shoulders. Making their way out of the break room, the two were glad to see there wasn't a line to get back into the park. Activating the shrinking machine, the two miniaturized themselves, entering the park.

As they came through the entry way a few guests walked by, seeing the two lifeguards holding the sack. Disregarding what they saw as work, the guests simply minded their own business as they went about the park with their friends and families. Brett motioned for Brody to walk through an employee's only roped off section of the park, so as not to draw too much attention however. The route was a little longer, but Brett figured it would be better than running into someone and having Ricky be found.

"Bro…" Brody started to say as he looked forward at Brett.

"You're probably concerned about Tyler right?" Brett said, practically reading Brody's mind.

"Yeah, bro. You saw how pissed he was." Brody replied, still thinking about how Tyler nearly beat Ricky to death already.

"He's going to run off with this prick." Brett said as he patted the bag. "You know that right?"

"I kinda figured." Brody said as he looked down at the floor as they continued walking. "You're letting him have him, huh bro?"

"Yeah." Brett said simply as they turned the corner making their way to the entrance to the break room. Opening the door with his free hand, Brett looked out into the room. Truth was, he's never even been in the room while being small like this. He looked around in awe as he couldn't imagine how his boss did this on a daily basis. Even more terrifying, Brett looked up to see the now massive form of Tyler, looming over the balcony with a dangerous looking spark in his eye. Trying to act casual however, Brett simply waved up at the menacing behemoth as he and Brody dropped the bag down on the floor.

"Wooooah brooooo!" Brody exclaimed with amazement as he looked up at Tyler. "Dude! You're huge!"

Brett rolled his eyes as he started to undo the knot on the bag. Opening it up he looked at Ricky's face as he had a fresh piece of medical tape over his mouth. Brett smirked as he decided to taunt the man a little. "I was wondering why you were so quiet. I figured you were just too scared to talk."

Brett ripped off the tape from his mouth as he started to pull the man gradually out of the bag. As he pulled the bag down he looked over at Brody, still amazed by Tyler's size. "Bro! Flex for me!"

Tyler chuckled as he rose his eyebrow. Lifting up his right arm he flexed his bicep a little bit, much to Brody's amusement.

"Sweet bro! Talk about giant gains!" Brody yelled up at Tyler, sounding like a typical frat bro. "I bet I'd look good too if I was in your place, bro!"

Tyler laughed again as he lowered his arm. "You probably would, dude. Anyway, where's that little bastard."

Brett drug their captive over toward Brody by the leash he created earlier. Flopping the man on the ground Brett simply crossed his arms as he spoke. "Right here, man."

Tyler looked down at the tiny people, seeing the tiny blonde man tied up and laying on the floor. Smiling he reached down, carefully pinching the leash between his fingers and raising the little captive to his face. Looking back down at Brett, Tyler heard the tiny man speak.

"Alright, Ty. We'll be back around in just a few minutes. Hang tight ok?" Brett said as he and Brody turned away to re-enter the park.

Brody turned and pointed up at Tyler with both is hands and clicked his tongue. "Don't go no where, stud!"

Tyler chucked to himself a little over Brody's antics, but quickly turned his attention toward Ricky as they left. His eyes turned angry as he glared at the tiny man with all his hatred. "You little punk. I'm gonna eat you alive and shit your bones out on your doorstep!"

Ricky squirmed and flailed as he tried to break free from the ropes, finally realizing how deep of shit he may literally be in. Tyler smirked as he started to walk toward the exit of the break room, still glaring at the tiny pathetic speck. "Nah that would be too easy. I'll think of something though while I make your puny life hell…"

Tyler chuckled as he opened up the door to the break room, leaving before Brody and Brett could return. Closing the tiny man in his hand, Tyler started to make his way home. All the while he thought to himself all the different way he could ruin this little guy's life before ultimately finishing him off. Making his way to his apartment, Tyler unlocked the door and went inside. Closing and locking the door behind him.

Bringing his tiny prey into his kitchen, he set the little man down on the counter. Tyler watched, amused as he saw the little guy struggle to get to his feet as he tried to run away. Tyler smiled as he made a noise with his throat and collected a hefty amount of mucus in his mouth, before spitting it all out in a long strand onto Ricky's position. Laughing as he saw Ricky struggle in the thick strands of spit, he couldn't help but mock the tiny man.

"You spit on me, I spit back, runt." Tyler said as he leaned down, trying to intimidate the tiny blonde. Watching Ricky struggle, Tyler started to get bored with the little man's simple torment. Deciding to put the man though a different kind of torture, Tyler reached down in a drawer pulling out…

Tyler took out a pack of protein powder and a large jug of milk from the fridge, setting both on the counter next to Ricky he proceeded to put both into a large glass to make a satisfying protein shake.

Ricky started to realise just what sort of a situation he was now in, this giant titan really was going to eat him!

“Ok asshole, payback time for what you tried to do to Josh. He was almost killed because of you me stupid assed stunt, so now I’m gonna add you to this shake and have some extra protein! Let me make this clear dude, I’m not going to just swallow you, I’m going to eat and digest you!”

Tyler went back to the fridge and pulled out a large sub sandwich that he had been saving for when his shift had finished, “after I send you down I’ll be eating this so I start my digestive juices going, I want to churn you up big style Ricky boy! There won’t be much left of you by the time I dump you in my toilet in the morning!”

By this point Ricky was in tears, he realised he’d gone too far, and now he was going to end up as supper for this behemoth of a lifeguard, nothing more than a speck of protein, looking up at Tyler he pleaded “please, please don’t eat me! I’m
sorry man!” I don’t wanna die! Have mercy!”

“Just like the mercy you showed Josh? Nah bud, I don’t think so, you’re mine now, just be thankful that you get to be eaten by me!”

Picking up the protein shake in one hand and Ricky with the other, Tyler walked into to bathroom. Showing Ricky the toilet, Tyler smirked “take a good look dude, coz I can’t wait to flush what’s left of you into the sewer where you belong!”

With that Tyler dropped Ricky into the glass and watched as he frantically tried to stay afloat. Unfortunately for him though Tyler was already tilting the glass towards his open mouth, Ricky screamed as he was sloshed straight in at the first mouthful.

His mouth full of shake, Tyler simply smiled as he tilted I’m his head back and gave one big gulp, sending Ricky on his way to the stomach.

“Enjoy the ride dude, it’s the last one you’ll ever take” Smiling broadly Tyler went back into the kitchen and started eating the sub sandwich, “may as well have a complete and balanced meal” he thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Ricky found himself struggling to find any sort of safe spot in the cavernous stomach, he couldn’t believe that he was going to actually be digested alive by another guy. As he was trying to gain some sort of composure piles of chewed up sandwich cane falling into the stomach “that bastard” he thought, “he’s really going through with this”

Tyler’s stomach started to churn as more food entered, and to make things worse Tyler let out a huge belch which compacted everything around Ricky, including the large amount of acid which was starting to collect.

Outside, Tyler rubbed his gut, “hope you’re enjoying it in there Ricky, thanks for the extra protein!” He then proceeded to finish the last of his sandwich in a single gulp.

Back inside, Ricky was running out of air, and the acid was starting to burn at his skin, finally the last bit of mushed sandwich landed right on top of him, forcing him right underneath into the pool of acid. Giving up the fight, he passed out and was slowly eaten away by the digestive enzymes in Tyler’s stomach.

With his stomach lightly gurgling, Tyler went into his bedroom and lay on the bed, rubbing his stomach, he couldn’t help but feel so powerful, he’d eaten a tiny guy, and was digesting him right now, he sort of hoped that other people would cross Josh’s path so he could eat them too. Slowly, he drifted off to sleep, his meal digesting peacefully inside.

The next morning came, and Tyler got out of bed and went to the bathroom, feeling the urge to do his business. He dropped his tight Under Armour hipsters to the ground and sat on the toilet while he played on his phone. A few minutes later he turned and flushed what was left of Ricky away, just a few bones encased in his shit were left after his mighty stomach did it’s work.

“So long you piece of shit” he smirked

He now knew that he had to go back to work and face his boss and his colleagues, but what story could he come up with about what happened to Ricky?

"No, let's have Brody stay." Brett said, trying to put his foot down in the situation. Tyler crossed his arms, looking angrily down at the bag at his feet. Brett sighed as he tried to get Tyler to listen to him. "Please Ty, just trust me. I'll explain while we bring him around."

Tyler dropped his arms, still looking a bit angry as he and Brett raised the bag up on their shoulders and carried it out of the room. Making their way around the corner, Brett stopped Tyler as he saw a group of kids filing into the park off a bus. Stopping for a second to let the kids go in, Brett turned and looked at Tyler.

"Look, dude. I know you just wanted this guy to yourself." Brett said, raising an eyebrow at the disgruntled looking man. Tyler frowned as he wished he could change Brett's mind.

"Dude. This prick put Josh through hell. He's my best friend, I wanted to be the one who ended him." Tyler replied angrily as he punched the bag.

"You make it sound like you're the only one who was worried about the boss." Brett said sharply as Tyler blinked a little in shock. "The rest of us might not be as close as you two, but he's still our friend too you know."

"I…I didn't think about it like that." Tyler mumbled, surprised at how much everyone really cared for Josh. Brett frowned as he wasn't finished making his point yet.

"Not to sound like a dick, but this asshole would have probably gotten away with it if I didn't over hear him. You wouldn't have even known." Brett said as he turned and looked around the corner to see the kids were all almost through the shrinking machine. Turning back to Tyler, he saw him staring at the ground, looking upset. Sighing, Brett felt bad, he didn't mean to hurt Tyler's feelings after all. "I'm sorry dude."

"No, I'm sorry." Tyler replied looking up at Brett. "I was gonna run off with this guy on my own. This is better though, we can deal with him together."

Brett smiled as he looked around the corner, seeing the coast was clear. Motioning to Tyler, the two made their way out into the open and into the shrinking machine to enter the park. After the shrinking process was complete they looked around to see only a few people were lingering about at the entry way. Walking past a few groups of people, the two men tried to look casual as they made their way over to the other entrance to the break room. Brett reached for the door knob with his free hand and pushed open the door.

Brett looked out into the enormous room in awe. Looking around, it dawned on him that he had never been in the room while being small before. Rubbing his eyes and he dropped the bag off his shoulder, he couldn't believe how everything looked so huge from this perspective. Looking up he saw Brody standing over the balcony with a friendly grin on his face. Brett smirked, had it been anyone else he would have felt nervous about having such a massive giant loom over him, but he knew Brody wouldn't let anything happen to him or Tyler.

"You two look so cute small, bros!" Brody said as he leaned down to get a closer look at his tiny co-workers. Tyler shook his fist up at the giant, feeling patronized.

"Yeah well, you look like a big dumb building, Brod!" Tyler yelled, not liking this whole shrinking business.

"Awww don't get all upset, tiny Ty!" Brody chucked with a little enthusiasm. Tyler simply fumed as Brett pulled open the bag and dumped out Ricky's body.

"Holy shit!" Brett called out as Brody and Tyler stopped bickering to look over at Ricky. "Tyler, did you kill him?"

Brett prodded the body with his foot as he rolled Ricky over on his back. Stopping for a second he saw the man take a breath. Tyler walked over and looked down at the still tied up man as he scratched his chin. "I was gonna say, I was pretty sure he was alive. I guess I just knocked him out though."

Brett sighed as he and Tyler got out of the way, allowing Brody to lift up Ricky's unconscious body up off the balcony and into his palm. Giving the two tiny men a thumbs up, Tyler and Brett turned to leave the break room. "See you in a minute itty bitty Tyler!"

Tyler shook with embarrassment as he and Brett made their way into the park, closing the door to the break room behind them. "Can we shrink Brody next? I wanna step on him."

Brett laughed as he put his arm around Tyler as the two made their way out around the park. Tyler couldn't help but chuckle as well, calming down from Brody's annoyance. Heading out of the park, the two regained their normal size as they made their way around the back of the building to the break room. Brett opened the door as he was greeted with an obnoxious sound.

BUUUUUURRRRPP!

Brody patted his chest as the two men entered to room, curious what the sudden belch was all about.

"I ate him, bros!" Brody said with a smile on his face as he patted his stomach. Tyler looked over angrily as Brett simply raised his eyebrows.

"No, you didn't." Brett said flatly as he looked at Brody's other hand, closed in a fist.

Brody raised up his palm as he rubbed the back of his head with his free hand, revealing Ricky's still unconscious body. "You're right, bro."

Brett smiled as he walked over to Brody to look at the little man, still not moving. "You're a terrible liar, Brod."

"I believed him!" Tyler said as he stomped across the room to look at Ricky with his own eyes.

"Well of course you would." Brett chucked as he looked over at Tyler. Tyler simply frowned as he scratched his cheek.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Tyler asked as Brett simply shrugged with a smirk. Forgoing Brett's words, Tyler wanted to refocus on what to do with Ricky. "Either way Brod, you should've burped on him. Maybe it would've woken the little punk up."

Brody rubbed his stomach as he closed his mouth for a second. With a little less force than the first, Brody expelled a second burp, directly over Ricky's body. "Wake up, you… uh… little punk?"

Brett shook his head as he couldn't believe Brody just used the same insult Tyler did. "Dude, you suck at being mean."

Brody reared his head back, looking a little offended. "What are you talking about, bro? I just burped on the guy!"

Tyler looked at Brett and nodded his head. "Nah, Brett's right, dude. You're like the nicest guy at the park along with Josh."

"Bro! I can be mean!" Brody yelled as he looked down at Ricky again. "Wake up! Or else!"

Tyler laughed, clutching his stomach and resting an arm on Brett's shoulder, while Brett simply stood there with his palm over his face. Brody looked over at the two men, feeling somewhat defeated as he reached out his hand, giving Ricky to Brett. Tyler looked down at the little man, reaching over into Brett's hand as he quickly closed it into a fist.

"Duuuude, I wanna hold him!" Tyler wined as he still had tears in his eyes from laughter. Brett simply raised an eyebrow as he looked at Tyler's face, knowingly.

"What? So you can crush him or something?" Brett shot back, knowing Tyler all too well. Tyler simply crossed his arms in disappointment, still wanting to destroy the little man himself. Brett chucked at the man's disappointment as he felt a tiny squirm in his hand. Opening it up, he saw Ricky struggling to get to his feet as he looked up at the three giants in terror. "Well well well. Look who's awake."

"Yeah! Look who's awake, bro!" Brody said awkwardly as he tried to crowd in to look at the little man. Brett and Tyler simply turned and looked at him with straight faces. Taking the hint, Brody backed off and went to go sit at the kitchen table. Turning their attention back to Ricky, Tyler and Brett both smirked evilly at the pathetic tiny man.

"You know fellas." Brett started to say as he looked over at Tyler and Brody. "If this bastard tried to use us to unknowingly kill our friend, why don't we have one of our friends unknowingly take this bastard out?"

Ricky twitched as he looked up at Brett's face, hating the giant man more than anything right now. Tyler shook his head, obviously not feeling the same way as Brett.

"No way dude. Us three caught this bastard, I say we take him out our ourselves." Tyler said as he pounded a fish into his hand, causing Ricky to wince in fear of the giant. Both Brett and Tyler looked up at Brody as he sat at the table. The two smiled as they felt bad for not including him before.

"Why don't you pick, Brod?" Brett asked, wanting Brody to break the tie. Looking over at his friends, Brody scratched his chin for a moment.

"Bro, I kinda have to side with…"

"I kinda have to side with Brett. He's got a good point, bro." Brody said as he looked over at Tyler's disappointed face.

"Well I guess that's two to one then, dude." Tyler mumbled as he turned his head back to Brett. "What's the plan?"

Brett smirked, already knowing who he wanted to bring in to be their unaware executioner. "I think we should get Matt and Luke in here."

Brody and Tyler both looked at each other, confused. Speaking up, Brody decided he'd be the one to ask. "Luke? I thought you hated him, bro?"

"We may not always see eye to eye, but trust me." Brett said as he tossed Ricky up in the air slightly, catching him and closing his fist around the little man. "The only person at this park I hate is this little pest right here."

Tyler and Brody both smiled to each other, happy to hear Brett really did have a sense of comradery for everyone at the park, Luke included. Brett clenched his fist a little as he watched the two exchange the smiles, however. "He's still a moron though, you guys get that?"

Brody smirked as he stood up, walking past Brett as he patted him on the shoulder. "I'll go get them, bro. I'm not good at this evil mastermind crap anyway. So you two come up with plan."

Tyler looked at Brett as they heard Brody shut the door behind him. Deep in thought, Brett bounced his fist up and down, feeling the tiny trapped man bounce with it. "Well dude, any ideas?"

"I thought it might be interesting to drop the little guy on the couch, and let Luke and Matt chill for a bit. We could give them something to eat too and kinda just watch as things unfold." Brett said as he opened his eyes. "He could fall on the floor or even get sat on, I think it would be funny to watch."

"Uhhh I guess…" Tyler said not really sure if he liked the idea of having Ricky roam free and leave it up to Luke and Matt. "They are pretty destructive dudes, though I guess. I was kinda hoping we could give him a taste of his own medicine and feed him to one of them!"

"Medicine…" Brett said, getting an idea. "We could stuff the tiny bastard in an empty pill. One of those dummies is bound to think it's just a vitamin or something."

"How would that even work though, dude?" Tyler said, trying to think of how swallowing a pill even works.

"Well the pill wouldn't break down in the stomach." Brett said as he thought about time released capsules. "I'm no expert, but I think they break down in the small intestine."

Tyler frowned as he started to not like the sound of that. "Wait so if he doesn't get digested, wouldn't he just come out the other end?"

"Uhhh…" Brett stuttered as his memories of basic biology were starting to fail him. "I'm not sure. I guess if he didn't it would be kinda hilarious for one of the guys to shit him out though."

"That would be kinda funny, dude." Tyler said as he put a hand on his abdomen, trying to imagine a tiny guy surviving past his stomach somehow.

"Either way." Brett said as he weighed the options. "I think it's better if we…"

Free falling, Josh's eyes barely have time to adjust to what's happening. Although, to Josh it was like he was sky diving next to some sort of giant clothed skyscraper, to Ricky Josh seemed to be daintily falling past his face. With luck Josh landed on something soft… and blue… Ricky's shirt! He couldn't believe how far he'd fallen as he looked up to see Ricky's huge chest looming over him.

"I must've some how landed near his stomach!" Josh noticed as he looked down at the folds of clothes he was standing on. Without hesitation Josh knew he had to hide from the dangerous giant. His first instinct was to slip between the buttons of the hunk's tight tee shirt and hide closer on his body. "Worth a shot anyway." Josh said as he swiftly climbed inside the shirt.

On the inside of the shirt it was certainly darker and smelt badly of sweat. Ricky seemed to be wearing some sort of under shirt preventing his progress any further. "There goes the hide in the belly button plan…" Josh grimaced to himself.

Suddenly with a jolt, Ricky's body started moving and Josh heard a terrifying voice roar from above. "Where are you little bug? I won't hurt you… much…" The giant said evilly. Josh lost his grip falling further from his position near the belly button and landing just above the man's crotch, saved by the tucked shirt.

- - -

"I've had enough of this." Ricky thought as he unbuttoned his shirt. "If he won't come out, I'll just give him no where to hide!"

Ricky finished stripping off his shirt revealing a pale white tank top underneath. Still looking for the tiny man crawling around on his body, he barely noticed a tiny speck fall from his crotch and slide down his leg near the floor. As the speck floated slowly down to the floor Ricky kept a close and angry eye on the little bug of a man.

- - -

Josh grabbed on to whatever he could but the force of gravity was too strong and he was forced to slide down Ricky's leg down off of his shorts and on to his hairy legs. Managing to clutch a hair Josh let out a sigh of relief. "Maybe he hasn't seen me this whole time.. I could still get away." Josh hoped.

Looking up at the giant man he could no longer see his face. It just seemed like it was way too far way and the rest of Ricky's huge body blocked out most of his view. Climbing down Ricky's leg, Josh turned and saw something that made him squeal. Dropping down he quickly avoided being swatted like a bug on the young man's firm legs. Falling once more Josh landed on something soft once again, what appeared to be the tongue of Ricky's shoe.

Once again Josh looked up to see a giant finger moving toward him.

*Flick*

- - -

"Got em!" Ricky said triumphantly as he flicked the little man off his shoe and on the floor. Ricky finally, sat himself down on the floor in front of little Josh. Looking down at him between his size 13 feet with an evil smirk forming on his face. "Guess you really didn't wanna be eaten huh?" He said taunting his little prey.

"Squished it is little guy." Ricky said looking at the unmoving little speck. "Poor guy can't even run away…

Ricky laughed aloud. "Wow you sure put up a fight trying to get away little man. But don't forget… size matters."

Ricky stood up looming over Josh's broken body staring down intently at the little speck. Moving his enormous black nike forward he hovered it over the terrified little man, giving him a good view of the treads he'd soon be a part of. "Until a scrap off your sorry little body off that is, you little bitch!"

- - -

Unable to move, Ricky had almost certainly broken both of Josh's legs with a simple flick. lying there was all he could do now. Looking up at Ricky's monstrous form was likely one of the last things he'd ever see. Ears ringing Josh could barely make out what Ricky was saying to him, whatever taunts he had didn't mean much to Josh at this point.

"SIZE MATTERS."

Those were the last words Josh heard as Ricky moved his enormous size 13 foot over him, blocking out all his vision under the black bottom of the shoe. Josh could barely make out bits of dirt in the treads of the shoe just before…

*SLAM*

- - -

Ricky slid his foot back and fourth, just for good measure, before turning over his shoe expecting a glorious bloody smear. "Pfff he was so small he didn't even leave a mark." Ricky said putting his foot back on the ground.

Looking at the floor where the speck formally was, he looked closely to see if there were any marks there either. "Damn no guts or nothing…" Ricky said upset he had to real reward for taking another human's life in such a brutal fashion.

"Well… better get going. Have to find a job somewhere else." He joked to himself laughing on his way out.

As for Josh, his only solace was that he died quickly and painlessly at the feet of the dejected interviewee.

Josh looked up at the massive man sitting before. Both his legs broken from being violently flicked, Josh realized there was no chance of escape unless the sinister giant had a sudden feeling of mercy.

"LET'S MAKE THIS LAST, SHALL WE."

The words roared over Josh like a tornado. Tried as he might to protest, all he could do was wince in pain as he desperately tried to move. Looking over, panting Josh saw Ricky was slowly untying his shoe…

- - -

"Lets feel this little bitch squirm…" Ricky thought to himself peeling off his size 13 nikes. Tossing the shoes aside he made extra sure they clapped loudly on the floor, so as to make his tiny victim jump. Looking down at the pathetic bug try and squirm away just made Ricky feel all the more powerful.

Next, he made sure to roll his socks off very slowly, laying his feet right beside the the terrified little man. "Hope he enjoys the show… it's gonna be his last." Ricky thought as he finally slid off the rest of socks. Positioning his feet at either side of Josh, hoping that his sweaty feet make the little man choke. Laughing out loud he retreated his feet and got ready to stand up… Not before laying his sweat drenched sock directly on top of his puny prey.

- - -

Everything was starting to go dark as the sweaty feet smell overpowered Josh's olfactory senses. "I c-can't… breath…" Josh huffed, hoping his sadistic capture would just end this torture. Seemingly his wish was at least half granted as a wave of fresh air swept over him as Ricky moved his colossal feet.

Josh's relief was short lived as darkness shrouded over him once more, but this time due to fowl smelling white fabric. "His… sock…?" Josh barely consciously recognized.

He heard shifting noises, and had a terrible feeling come over him. Fighting back vomit, Josh tried to rest his body, trying his best not to move his legs.

- - -

Now standing at his full height, Ricky smirked down at his sock. "Hope he's enjoying himself under there… why wouldn't he." He laughed again at his own internal banter.

With his toe, Ricky moved the sock from its position, revealing an unmoving pale little speck. Then slowly he moved his bare foot, inches off the ground above poor little Josh. Slowly, he lowered his sweaty foot, until he started to feel the coolness of the ground. Putting as little weight on the floor as possible, he figured the little man might still draw breath.

"Squirm then maybe I'll show mercy." He taunted as he put down his weight little by little.

- - -

It was like a fleshy eclipse of the word as the sweaty foot descended down on his tiny body. Putting up his hand Josh tried fruitlessly to push the smelly foot away.

Josh's legs were in excruciating pain as the foot came to a stop. His whole body was pinned to the ground, barely with enough space for him to breath. Then Ricky's cocky voice boomed out, muffled slightly by his foot.

"SQUIRM THEN MAYBE I'LL SHOW MERCY."

It was Josh's last hope. Wiggling as fiercely as he could despite the pain in his legs, Josh was prepared to do anything at the chance of living. The weight kept coming down as Josh tried to squirm harder and harder, then finally…

- - -

*pop*

Like a extremely tiny bug, Ricky finally felt the little man's body give way. Resting his full weight on the spot finally he chuckled to himself. "You call that squirming? I barely felt it." He said looking down at his foot.

Sitting back down on the ground, Ricky moved his foot closer to his face so he could examine it. "Wheeeeew! That sticks! Glad I wasn't him!" He said impressed with his own foot odor. Looking closely he did see a very small smear on the sole of his foot. Proud of himself, he slipped back on his socks and shoes. Not bothering to wipe the little man's body off his foot.

"Its like a souvenir." He smirked. "Of my visit to the infamous Shrink and Swim." He said laughing as he walked out of the room.

"Yeah Chad was the name." Tyler answered looking down at Josh's list. "What's his application like?"

"He's ex-military. Looks like he was trained in a lot of emergency first aid and CPR which is great." Josh looked at his list of skills still impressed by the resume.

"Well whatever, dude. You better hurry and meet the guy!" Tyler rushed Josh, pushing him along toward the interviewing room. "He's been waiting for ya!"

Josh ran along side Tyler making his way to the room. Josh simply turned to his friend who gave him a thumbs up, as Josh went through the door. Josh opened into the massive room, having to take it all in for a moment. Josh stood on a small balcony across from a massive chair where he saw his first take of this new giant, Chad. Josh approached the front of the balcony ready to address the man as he took in his appearance.

He was what you'd expect from an ex-military type guy. Short buzzed brown hair and deep look brown eyes, even from Josh's distance. He wore a tight black shirt and long green cargo pants, shirt tucked into the the waist. He definitely had his fair share of handsome features, with a strong dependable looking face with light scruff and a chiseled looking jaw line. Josh drew his attention to the man's tight shirt which bulged with muscle, clearly he was very well trained in his time in the military.

"Chad?" Josh spoke up as the huge man's eyes looked toward Josh immediately. "Sorry I'm late, my name is Josh, I'll be conducting your interview."

"No worries, sir." Chad said formally. "I think I was a little early anyway, sir."

Josh was immediately a little shocked by just how formal the man was. He wasn't sure how to handle it, but it was at least some what refreshing compared to the dude's and bro's he was used to being called by the rest of his staff. "Early is good though! I appreciate the effort. Now then, what do you know about Shrink and Swim?"

"I know that it uses a shrink ray of sorts of make all the guests tiny, sir." Chad answered, clearly doing some research before just dropping off his application. "I guessed my interviewer might have been tiny based off the little balcony you're standing on."

"Fantastic, very observant." Josh complimented the man. "That's a good skill when watching over guests. It could save a life."

"Thank you, sir." Chad received the compliment almost robotically.

"There's not need to be too formal, by the way." Josh tried to loosen the almost stiff man up a bit. "We're very relaxed here. I almost prefer it when my employees refer to me informally."

"Oh sorry, sir… errr… umm…" Chad looked at a loss for what to call Josh. Josh merely shrugged, not meaning for it to be a big deal.

"We'll work on it." Josh simply said for now. "Just speak comfortably."

"Alright, I'll try." Chad smiled, trying to drop his seriousness a bit.

"Excellent." Josh commented. "Why don't you tell me a bit of your experience with first aid or CPR."

"Ummm…" Chad shifted in his chair slightly as Josh watched his twist his tight torso sightly, exposing a strong set of abs through his tight shirt. Josh bit his lip as he focused back at Chad's face as he continued. "I had to undergo basic medical training for the military. CPR was a part of it. Thankfully I never really had to use any of it aside from small stuff."

"That is good to hear, but the knowledge is there." Josh tried to pay the massive man another complement, hoping to get him to be a little more comfortable.

"Can I ask you a question?" Chad looked at Josh closely.

"Of course, that's part of how interviews work." Josh smiled professionally.

"Do you choose to be small like that all the time?" Chad asked bluntly. "I mean it seems dangerous. Like I could crush you without even trying."

Josh was a little taken aback, not really sure what to say before Chad reared back and apologized. "I'm sorry sir, that was way out of line."

"No no." Josh tried to legitimize the question. "I get asked things like that a lot. Being this size is just convenient for me, but convenience does come at a dangerous cost every once in awhile."

"Well I'd protect you, sir." Chad blushed very slightly for a moment. "I just don't like seeing people get hurt."

"I appreciate it." Josh smiled, feeling like it was an awkward, yet genuinely sweet gesture.

- - -

The interview went on for awhile long. Josh felt like he definitely got a good grasp of who Chad was. In the end Josh made a decision that…

"Let's see, yeah dude's name was Scott! You gotta hurry man he's waiting for you!" Tyler said gesturing at the door to the interview room.

Looking down at the file Josh sighed. "Why'd it have to be some giant meat head with no experience…" He thought, hoping the interview could just be over as fast as possible.

"Alright wish me luck, Ty!" Josh says turning toward the door and waving at his burly employee.

"You don't need luck boss! Go get 'em!" He replied, turning away and waving back as he headed out back to his post.

- - -

Josh opened the door to the large room, looking out as far as he could as he walked forward. It was a squarish room with a chair and table at one end and a balcony at the other. Josh walked across the balcony to a small microphone that was used to communication without needing to yell at the top of lungs for the interviewee to hear him. Staring out over the balcony Josh got his first look at Scott. The mammoth of a 18 year old made the chair he was sitting in look like it belonged in a kindergarten classroom. Apart from that the gigantic teen wore a backwards baseball cap with his brown hair peeking out the front. His face looked out to the left, bored.

"Dress for success must've been something this kid's never heard of." Josh thought looking at the teen's attire. He wore a red "stringer" tank top which barely hid any of his muscular torso. Leading down to his shorts, which were just white basketball shorts, string untied with his underwear showing slightly around the top, the brand "under armor" was written across the black spandex front. Finally, looking down at the teen's feet, which he had stretched out in a relaxed fashion, he wore nothing but a pair of black sandals on his massive feet.

Despite his appearance Josh always tried to treat everyone he met with respect. "Sorry I'm late Scott. My name is Josh. I'm the owner of Shrink and Swim. I'll be interviewing you today."

Scott turned his attention forward, looking where to voice came from. "Uhh…" He said in a deep voice.

"Over here on the balcony, its ok. Sometimes its a little shocking for people to see a shrunk person first hand." Josh added casually as the giant teen focused his attention at the balcony.

"Whoa! No way!" The giant man said, suddenly standing up and moving forward to look down at the tiny man on the balcony. "Are all the people in the park so small?" He asked looking down curiously at the tiny man.

"He's an idiot…" Josh thought. "Yes, that's the whole principal behind the park actually. Now if you'd take your seat we can start our interview." Josh said looking up nervously at the practically shirtless giant.

"Oh, sorry." He said gruffly as he stepped back and planted himself back into the small chair. "I'm just not used to this whole deal…" He said blankly.

Tiling his head Josh questioned, "Oh is this your first interview?" The giant man sat up and nodded slowly. "Well don't worry just be honest about yourself and everything will be fine." Josh assured the mountainous teen.

"What made you want to apply to Shrink and Swim?" Josh started off, figuring it was an easy question.

"Well actually my girl friend filled out the application. She just told me it was for life guarding, which I figured I'd be good at." He said honestly. "I had no idea the people in the park were so small though. Do I just scoop them out of the water with my hand or something?"

Josh nearly face palmed at the question. Obviously, he knew nothing about the park other than "Be a lifeguard." "Well actually Scott…" Josh said politely. "There's a shrink ray out front. Everyone, including staff get's shrunk when they go in. So while in the park its as if you're the same size normally compared other people."

"Ohh I think I get it." Scott replied leaning forward. "That's pretty cool as long as I don't have to stay shrunk all the time."

"Well when when the lifeguards are off duty they all usually go around front and grow back to normal size to wind down in the break room." Josh said reassuringly.

"Why don't you do that then?" Scott asked suddenly looking across the room at the tiny speck of man.

"Well usually I don't have time, being the owner and operator. Besides, I find the experience to be enlightening." Josh stated to back himself up.

"That's cool man. I mean I like being big, so I guess it can work both ways." He said chucking deeply. Josh looked down as he turned a little red at the comment.

"I suppose so!" Josh said, shaking a little. "Anyway let's continue."

- - -

The interview went on for a few more minutes and Scott struggled to give good answers. His fundamental answers were fine, but anytime the question was remotely ambiguous he had to stop and think for awhile.

"Alright Scott, that's all the questions I have. Based off your performance I've come to the conclusion that…"

"You're hired!" Josh spoke out into the microphone much to Scott's surprise. Standing up, Scott walked over to the little balcony and knelt down, trying his best to be on the same level as his new boss. Josh was a little taken aback by the sudden approach however and leaped back a step.

"Thank you so much!" The enormous teen said closing his eyes and bowing his head in front of an awe struck Josh. "I thought for sure you were gonna turn me away! I really needed this job!" He added happily.

Josh was actually pleased with his decision. Sure the kid was a moron, but there was something… almost adorable about how dumb he was. "It's great to hear he needed the job that badly too." Josh pondered to himself.

"Its no problem! No need to bow your head…" he said as the teen opened back up his eyes, looking down at Josh. "I see a lot of potential in you, Scott. We just need to work together to bring it out." Josh stated smiling.

"So this is your first job huh?" Josh asked as the excited teen stood back up to his massive height. "Yeah…" Scott replied lifting up his muscled arm and scratching the back of his head. "I bet Bri's gonna be pumped to find out I got it!" He added happily.

"Bri must be his girlfriend." Josh thought quickly. "Well in celebration, tell her she get's a free admission to the park tomorrow. She can watch you in action, assuming that is you can start that soon?" Josh said smiling thoughtfully.

Looking way down past his chest, abs, all the way down near his crotch at the tiny man making him such a kind offer Scott smiled. "You're the best, man! She'll love that! I can't wait to get home and tell her!" He said turning to leave.

"Whoa hold up there." Josh stopped the giant teen, forcing him to turn back around. "Now that all this is settled, I want to give you a little tip." Josh said seriously.

"Don't come dressed like THAT at any interviews you have in the future." Josh said as Scott looked down at his stringer tank. "I thought I should show off my body, being a lifeguard position and all." he said nervously.

"That's pretty much the only reason why I let it slide, buddy." Josh said crossing his arms. "Also try not to wear hats, especially backwards at an interview. Also, two words. Dress pants. Or shorts I guess. At the very least pull up them shorts a bit before you come in." Josh said matter-of-factly.

"I'll keep it in mind." Scott said a little embarrassed. "Seriously, thank you for everything." He said moving toward the door again.

Whoa whoa whoa!" Josh said, making the teen turn around a second time. "You need a uniform, Mr. hasty. Take the door on your left when you walk out. That's the break room door. We can set you up with a uniform in there."

- - -

Finally, the two left the room, Josh turned and went into the break room and looked around. The break room was designed with balconies, elevators, and conveyor belts to help shrunken people go about the otherwise spacious room. The rooms were in fact normal sized, with a kitchen, lounge, bathroom, and even a small work out room. Josh looked around the room and saw…

Strolling into the room casually, Scott looked around. Noticing the little balconies similar to the one in the interview room he scanned them quickly with his hands on his knees.

"There you are boss!" He said proudly as he search finally came to an end. "This is gonna take some getting used to!" He said laughing and scratching under his hat.

"Everyday certainly is an adventure!" Josh said at the young jock. "Anyway, doesn't seem anybody is on break right now, so I'll have to get your uniform for you." Josh said turning his attention to the little computer behind him.

"Uhhh won't it be a little small if you get, sir?" Scott replied looking down at his impressively muscled frame. "No offense but I'd probably lose it…"

Turning back to Scott, Josh figured he'd have to explain this. "Well actually I can use the computer here to have a new uniform your size brought in from storage. All I need is your size, big guy." Josh added unintentionally at the end as he turned back and blushed.

Used to the remark, Scott didn't think twice about it. "Ohh wow dude that's cool. Technology sure is amazing!" He said looking down at Josh. "I guess I take like a XL by the way." He said, sliding off his stringer tank top.

Josh turned even brighter red as the massive teen removed the small article of clothing. Sure he was practically shirtless already… but now there weren't any obstructions at all of Scott's well toned body.

"XL coming up." Josh said, voice cracking slightly. The machine made a quick "ding" noise as a rack came out into the room with a crisp clean lifeguard's uniform. It wasn't anything special. Just your typical attire for the profession. A white tank top with the word "Lifeguard" across the front. Red board shorts with a cross on them. And last but not least, a red hat.

"Sweet!" The young behemoth bellowed. "A new hat!"

With those words he quickly pulled off his current cap, showing off his short brown hair, a little messed up from being under a hat. Only to then replace it with the new red hat, making sure to turn it backwards for extra effect. Next, the young man pulled down his already sagging basketball shorts, revealing his sporty compression shorts underneath. Taking his new board shorts he pulled them up over his underwear making sure to tie it tight at the strings. "Look boss! Pulled em up all the way just for you!" He said with a cheery tone.

"I appreciate it, Scott!" Josh said with a nod of approval. "You look very professional! Make sure that tank top fits alright too for when you want to wear it."

Throwing the top over his shoulder the mountainous teen laughed. "It looks like it'll be fine! If not I can just cut it down to match this!" He said raising up his stringer top.

"You better not!" Josh added kindly, hoping the giant teen was really just kidding. The two locked eyes for a moment and laughed.

"No worries, I wouldn't do something to disrespect you. Not after how good you've been to me." Scott said humbly.

"I-I appreciate that… Scott." Josh said, a little lost for words.

"Its my pleasure little bud." Scott replied, flashing his little boss a thumbs up.

Shaking his head, Josh tried to refocus on his job. "Anyway, tomorrow morning I need you to report in for basic training. We'll teach you basic lifeguard skills, then after that you'll be shown a brief video on CPR here in the break room. After that I'll give you a test, if you pass you'll be CPR certified and can start lifeguarding right away. If you fail, we'll have to go back over the tape and we'll work though it." Josh said reassuring the large teen, who's eyes widened at the word "test".

"Your girlfriend is welcome over whenever and I'll happily give her a tour of the park myself." Josh ended professionally.

Scott shook his head in understanding, stopping once more to thank his new boss before leaving. Still brimming with excitement over this fresh opportunity.

Josh stood at the entrance of the park, eager to have Scott start his first day at his first job. Josh tried to imagine what kind of girl Bri must be and how proud she must be over her sweet yet massive boyfriend. Josh refocused as he saw the massive body of Scott come lumbering in through the front gate on time, but alone. Scott walked up to Josh with a smile as he looked down at Josh, dwarfing him even at the same scaled heights.

"Wow you're tiny even in here!" Scott laughed as he put out a hand to shake Josh's. "But at least now I can properly thank you."

Josh smiled as he shook the giant man's hand. It was surreal seeing how tall he was at nearly a foot and a half taller than him. "Like I told you, you seemed like a great guy. I have high expectations for you."

Scott took back his hand and smiled at the compliment. Josh looked around as he felt the need to address the question that was bugging him. "So where's your girlfriend? I had it planned out to give her a tour."

"Oh… she said she'd be in later." Scott shifted his tone a little. "Between you and me, she seemed a little off last night and this morning."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that…" Josh tilted his head a little. "Well either way! I have Tyler ready to train you over at the wave pool. It's just straight ahead follow the signs! He should be the only other guy stationed there."

"Okay, boss." Scott smiled confidently. "Heh. It's kinda neat having a boss for the first time."

Josh chuckled as Scott walked away. Josh noticed Scott's board shorts weren't on very tight as they sagged a bit showing a little of Scott's underwear. Josh shrugged it off as at least it was an improvement over it practically falling off his waist during the interview.

Josh felt like he should wait by the entrance, helping out the admissions crew while he figured he'd wait for Bri to arrive.

- - -

Hours went by. Josh had skipped lunch and it was well into the early afternoon. No one ever came through admissions looking for a tour or speaking of a free admission of sorts. A little worried, Josh thanked the admissions crew as he left figuring it was best to go find Scott. Looking around, Josh figured by now they must be going over CPR in the break room. Heading that way, Josh reached the door from the tiny people's side and opened it. Looking out over the balcony sure enough Josh saw Tyler and Scott sitting at a table, Scott with a pen in his hand taking the certification test.

"Wow that was fast." Josh thought as he approached the edge of the balcony. Deciding to go right into the middle of things, Josh took one of the elevators designed for travel around the room for him over to the table. Once there, Josh silently made eye contact with Tyler who nodded with a satisfied grin at his tiny friend.

"Almost all set?" Tyler asked Scott, who hadn't noticed Josh's arrival.

"I'm a little stuck on this one…" Scott puzzled over the last question. Tyler leaned in and looked at it briefly.

"You got it dude. It was like the first thing I taught you." Tyler offered the slight hint as Scott looked like he remembered and circled an answer. Tyler smiled, glad to see he was able to help Scott through the first day.

Sweating, Scott put down his pen and sat back. "Man I'm so bad at these tests."

Meanwhile, Josh walked directly onto the paper and looked down at some of the answers. "Let's see how you did, Scott!"

Scott jumped a little as he looked down and saw Josh in front of him on his test. "Boss!? How long were you here?"

"Like three minutes." Tyler laughed, thinking Scott's jump was a little humorous. "How'd he do?"

"Well just from a quick scan, looks like a pass to me." Josh quickly looked over some of the answers he had memorized. Scott put a hand on his chest, looking like he could breath easy now. Josh turned to the handsome teen however, feeling like he needed to deliver the bad news as well. "Scott, your girlfriend never showed up. I'm not sure what happened."

"What? Can I go call her real quick?" Scott asked politely. Josh agreed as the huge man got up, going into the locker room where he had stored his phone for the day. Josh looked up at Tyler and shrugged his shoulders. Hoping it wasn't serious.

"How'd he do today?" Josh asked Tyler as his huge friend took a deep breath and laughed.

"Man he's not very smart." Tyler admitted.

"That's saying something coming from you." Josh teased the giant as Tyler shot him a look.

"Big talk coming from you, small fry." Tyler retorted, gently flicking Josh off his feet. Josh sat up and chuckled, very used to this kind of behavior from his best friend. "He was fine. Sometimes it felt like talking to a brick wall. But seemingly most of what I taught him sunk in a little."

"Good I'm glad. He seems like a good kid." Josh smiled looking behind him toward the break room as Scott came back with his phone in his hand. "Everything ok Scott?"

"She ignored my calls." Scott said slowly. "Plus I have a text from our landlord saying to "get that junk away from out front door." "

Tyler and Josh looked at each other confused. Scott simply just stood there, looking like he was at a loss for words. "Can-Can I just go see what that means? Is that okay?"

"Can I go with him?" Tyler asked, not really waiting for permission to leave at all in the first place.

"Yeah… this sounds weird." Josh puzzled for a moment. "I'm going too."

"You guys don't have to." Scott said sheepishly. Both Tyler and Josh disagreed however as Tyler had already picked Josh up, holding him secure in his palm. "Wait you're going like that?"

"Yeah, let's get going!" Josh said as him and Tyler made their way out the door, Scott following after.

- - -

After a brief trip the trio had arrived at Scott's apartment. Sure enough outside the door was a bunch of men's clothes, video games and other various things Josh and Tyler guessed belonged to Scott. On top, was a note with Scott's name written across it. Picking it up, Scott read the note silently to himself, tears welling a little in his eyes and he crumpled it up, throwing it aside.

"She dumped me. Kicked me out. Even after I got a job like she wanted…" Scott said softly to himself. "I did everything for her…"

Tyler and Josh looked at each other, clearly not knowing the details. "Well if you both are on the lease for this apartment she can't just kick you out." Josh offered as a rebuttal. "Plus you have a key."

"It's just her on the lease. It was apparently cheaper that way." Scott said almost robotically as he recalled that whole deal. Going up and trying to put the key in the door, it wouldn't turn the lock. "She changed the lock…"

"Wow." Tyler could only mutter. Wanting to say more, but he didn't want to upset Scott, he simply walked over and put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey it's okay buddy. Josh and I are here for ya."

Scott turned and pulled Tyler into a big hug, Josh getting caught in the middle as Tyler held up between the two men's bare stomachs. Tyler put his free arm around Scott and hugged back, feeling bad for the massive teen.

"I just moved here. You guys are the only people I know besides Bri." Scott admitted. "So… I guess I'm just saying I'm glad I met you guys yesterday and today… for more than one reason."

Scott released Tyler as Josh gasped for air almost being crushed between the two men's sweaty abs as they both looked at Scott with sad expressions. Scott looked down at his stuff and kicked over a little trophy he had for sports in high school. "I don't know where I'm gonna go."

"I have a spare room at my house." Josh offered instantly out of compassion to the massive man. "You can stay with me till you get everything figured out."

"Really?!" Scott looked down at Josh a few tears welling in his eyes again. "You've already done so much for me… I don't know how I can ever repay you…"

"Promise me you'll work hard. That's payment enough." Josh winked as Scott knelt down, Tyler holding Josh at eye level.

"I wish I could hug you but I'd be too afraid to squish you…" Scott said, reaching at Josh with one finger cautiously.

"We can worry about that later, first let's get this stuff to my place!" Josh exclaimed, glad he could help the giant teen in need.

- - -

A few hours passed and Josh had informed the crew he wasn't going to be back today. The park closed as Josh was too busy to go back and regain his size, Josh figured it was fine spending the night at his house shrunk anyway. With all of Scott's stuff moved into the spare room, Josh sat atop his dining room table with Scott and Tyler seated with him.

"Man this place is huge!" Scott admired the huge house.

"Yeah we could have a ballin' party in here." Tyler smirked, thinking a party might cheer up Scott a little.

"Um.. yeah I guess if Scott wants to." Josh offered to Scott, feeling like his emotions should be the determining factor in any decision they make at the moment.

Scott, sat back. Straight faced, he was still pretty choked up inside. Looking at Josh and Tyler Scott felt like…

"I dunno. A lot of people might be a little too much right now." Scott sighed as he stared off into space a little. "I'm fine with just chilling with you dudes. You guys have been so good to me, I just don't know what to say."

"I know exactly what to say!" Tyler stood up excitedly as he looked from Josh to Scott with a grin. "Since it's just going to be the three of us, this is the perfect chance for me to teach you how to be dominant around Josh!"

"What?" Josh said flatly as Tyler's hand quickly came down on top of him, covering him in it's shadow as Tyler leaned down on Josh, cupping his hand however as to not crush him. Trapped, Josh could merely observe what Tyler had planned through listening to him now.

"Uh, Ty?" Scott asked as he looked down at Tyler's hand. "Is he ok?"

"First lesson. Don't worry about it." Tyler smiled at Scott. "He's the size of a bug. You're giant compared to him. Don't ever let him boss you around."

"But he's literally our boss, dude." Scott looked at Tyler confused.

"At the park, sure." Tyler waved his free hand like he was dismissing some small detail. "But here he's your roommate. Your teeny tiny helpless roommate."

"But bro, he's letting me live here for free." Scott looked at Tyler's hand some more, tilting his head a little worried. "I don't think I should be bossing him around."

"Wow, you're really bad at the whole 'being a giant' thing aren't you?" Tyler shook his head a little disappointed the near 7-foot tall behemoth wasn't more into the idea of dominating a tiny person. "Look, bud. I'm not saying to hurt him. But he loves getting bullied around a bit because of his size."

"He does?" Scott asked a bit surprised. "I guess he did mention something about liking being small yesterday when we talked."

"See bro?" Tyler winked at Scott, hoping to convince the teen. "That was just him being shy. He'd be way into you being a cocky giant."

Scott pondered for a moment. It didn't really make much sense, but then again nothing in the past couple days had made any sense. Shrugging his shoulder, Scott decided to…

"Alright, bro." Scott sat up, feeling like if Josh liked it, then what was the problem. "How do I do this?"

"It's not hard dude. I mean you ever make fun of anyone or horse around and stuff in high school?" Tyler asked as Scott at there sort of blankly.

"Not really, dude." Scott shook his head. "I actually cracked down on a lot of bullies instead of doing any bullying."

"Well what did they do?" Tyler asked, kind of surprised a big time athletic jock like Scott never bullied anyone before.

"Push people into lockers. Called them nerds." Scott remembered a few instances. "Made fun of dudes for being smaller than them. Then I'd show up behind them."

"They must've shit their pants, bro!" Tyler laughed as even he wouldn't want Scott showing up suddenly behind him, likely angry. "So you're gonna be basically doing those things except it's all in fun."

"Those things don't seem like they're in fun." Scott frowned, leaning back thinking of how awful the bullies were.

"Well let me ask you this." Tyler looked at Scoot who peeked up in response. "Are you Josh's friend?"

"Well yeah." Scott answered with a slight blush.

"Then you're not bullying him. You're just messing with him!" Tyler smiled with a matter of fact tone. "Instead of pushing him into a locker, flick him off his feet. Instead of calling him a nerd, call him a bug! Tell him he's tiny then burp on him!"

"He's ok with that?" Scott once again asked, feeling like it might be too much.

"Of course! We're still his friends were just messing, bro!" Tyler chuckled, thinking it was a bit odd Scott never experienced this sort of thing with male friends in the past. "It's like telling your buddy he's a pussy then putting him in a headlock then laughing it off."

"I guess Bri took up so much of my time I never really had that." Scott looked down at the ground. Tyler removed his hand from covering Josh and walked over to Scott and put a hand on the big man's shoulder. Suddenly, Tyler put Scott in a headlock and wrestled him out of the chair and onto the ground.

"Come on bro! Don't be such a pussy!" Tyler laughed as Scott was easily able to over power Tyler and lift them off the ground. Smiling, Scott thought he finally understood as he turned Tyler around and put him in a headlock instead.

"You let me turn that around almost too easily there little Ty." Scott laughed as he held Tyler into his chest before letting go.

"I don't think I've ever been called little before!" Tyler laughed as he backed away from Scott. "If I'm little what's he?"

"What's what?" Scott smirked as he looked down at Josh "Oh, I thought that was just a bug."

"Now you're getting it bro!" Tyler went up to Scott and gave him a hearty pat on the back. "So my man. Now that you've got the basics how about we try an advanced course?"

"Uh, like what, dude?" Scott looked back at Tyler, dropping the arrogant tone almost instantly.

"Well I was thinking we'd have you…"

Tyler stomach suddenly gave a bit of an audible gurgle as he clenched his abs for a second. "Hey you hungry too, dude? I just got an idea of what we can do with him."

"What? I mean yeah, I'm always hungry, dude. But I don't wanna eat Josh." Scott waved a hand feeling like that would be taking it a little too far.

"Oh dude, I was just gonna say we should stick him in some food." Tyler laughed at the idea of eating Josh. "He's so puny he couldn't even be considered a snack, bro."

"Ha yeah that's true, dude." Scott laughed as he looked down at Josh. "Sorry, bro. I didn't mean to think that's what he meant."

"It's ok--" Josh started to say before he was very loudly interrupted by Tyler.

"Bro! Don't apologize to him! He's so little you could just eat him if you felt like it!" Tyler crossed his arms, scolding Scott like a drill sargent. "So assert your dominance!"

"Okay okay." Scott scratched his chin and looked down at Josh again. "Actually never mind, dude. I could just eat you if I felt like it."

Josh chuckled as Tyler pressed his palm to his face a little. There was such a lack of passion behind Scott's words, coupled with he just repeated what Tyler had said. Scott looked at Tyler, confused.

"Did I do it wrong?" Scott asked, genuinely bad at this."

"Let's just get some food, dude. Maybe that'll help." Tyler walked away from the table and into the kitchen. Scott slumped back down into his chair and looked at Josh.

"I think I'm disappointing him." Scott said a little quietly to Josh.

"It's really okay. You can let loose a little. Maybe it'll help with getting over Brianna if you let out some of your frustration?" Josh offered as a bit of an option to the colossal man.

"Well I don't wanna let it out on you, boss." Scott frowned. "You're too nice, you don't deserve it."

"I'll be fine!" Josh pumped himself up for Scott's sake. "Impress Tyler and let loose!"

"Okay!" Scott's frown turned into a slight smile. "I'll try. Thanks, dude."

A few minutes by before Tyler re-emerged from the kitchen, holding a plate of apple slices and a huge mound of peanut butter.

"He only had a bunch of healthy shit." Tyler shrugged as he set the plate down.

"What a nerd." Scott said, trying to force out a little confidence in his voice. Tyler nodded his head in a little approval as Scott reached for an apple. "Man I do love peanut butter though. I could eat a whole jar of it."

"You know bro. I heard Josh loves peanut butter too." Tyler smirked, wondering if Scott had given the training a little more thought. Tyler watched as Scott looked over at Josh.

"Oh does he?" Scott said as he started to reach for Josh. Josh stayed still as Scott carefully plucked him off the table. Hovering Josh above the peanut butter, Josh screamed as Scott released him right in the middle of the enormous glob. "There, now he can help himself."

Josh pulled himself above the surface of the thick nutty peanut butter as he heard Tyler erupt into laughter.

"Oh nice dude!" Tyler chuckled as he say Josh struggle. Tyler sat down and grabbed an apple as well, scooping dangerously close to Josh before popping it into his mouth an chewing. "Man, now he's gotta watch out, bro!"

"Watch out for what, bro?" Scott smiled as he also scooped close to Josh with his next slice. Josh could barely move as he listened to the two men laugh and joke. He was happy to see Scott starting to loosen up, but he wasn't sure at what cost he'd have to put up with much more.

As time went by, Scott and Tyler ate more. Eventually…

Scott scooped another apple into the peanut butter, slowly looking at the apple before putting it in his mouth. Tyler watched his methodical movement with a raised eyebrow.

"What's wrong, bro?" Tyler asked, hoping Scott wasn't about to turn soft on Josh again. Scott swallowed and shook himself out of his slight worry.

"Oh sorry, dude." Scott chuckled. "I lost track of him. I was just making sure I didn't actually eat him, you know?"

"Hey if you do you, you do, dude." Tyler shrugged, driving home the point at how insignificant Josh was. "Besides, I know where he is."

"You do?" Scott squinted down at the pile of peanut butter, still seeing nothing.

"Yeah of course." Tyler lied, having lost track of Josh minutes after they started eating. "Don't worry, he's fine."

"Oh okay, dude!" Scott smiled, trusting Tyler implicitly. Grabbing another apple, Scott happily scooped it back into the peanut butter, knowing if he got too close to Josh, Tyler would definitely warn him. Tyler meanwhile sweat a tiny bit, scanning through the globs of peanut butter looking for Josh's movement.

- - -

Giving up on struggling, Josh knew he was so horribly stuck he couldn't free himself even if he wanted to. Josh had gotten used to the sounds and feelings of peanut butter being scooped around him, however Josh found himself… rising.

"Huh?!" Josh panicked, barely able to move his face as he could mostly only make out the fact that he was being pulled away from the main pile of peanut butter. Eyes darting around, Josh could see Tyler looking down at the pile. Connecting the dots Josh realized he'd been scooped up by Scott. Josh tried to yell, but it was clear neither giant had realize just how badly he was stuck and concealed.

"Scoooott!" Josh called out, not even able to see Scott's face as he was risen higher and higher. The next thing Josh saw was Scott's mouth, opening up and enveloping him in darkness as he was quickly shoved in the giant's maw. Scott's teeth easily bit the apple in half as Josh was thrown into the chaos of the giant's chewing. Panicking, Josh found himself freed from the peanut butter thanks to Scott's tongue and saliva. Josh didn't know if he could consider it lucky, but Scott stopped chewing as he found himself unscathed by the ordeal, just before the giant's tongue lurched and swallowed the snack down.

- - -

*Gulp*

Scott swallowed the lump of food down, scooping some more peanut butter on the other half of the apple and devouring it as well. Scott stopped for a moment, realizing Tyler had stopped eating now.

"Uhhh what's wrong, bro?" Scott asked Tyler the same why he asked him a moment ago. Tyler this time being the one to snap out of his trance.

"Oh nothing, bro!" Tyler faked confidence. "Now I lost track of him!"

"Oh shit!" Scott worried immediately. "I didn't scoop him up did I?"

"No no, brah." Tyler wasn't exactly sure, but didn't want to admit to not knowing earlier. "You were good, I was watching."

"Oh phew." Scott let out a sigh of relief. "What do we do, dude?"

"Guess we'll…" Tyler let out a long droned groan. "We'll stop eating…"

"It's for the best dude." Scott laughed, finding Tyler's disappointment to be kind of funny. Scott watched as Tyler started to stand up and stretch. "Uhh should we help him out?"

"Nah." Tyler waved a hand at plate. "He can get himself out."

"Ha okay dude!" Scott stood up as well, pecs bouncing as he got out of his chair. "He'll be fine, I'm sure."

"Yeah exactly!" Tyler patted Scott on the back. "He'll figure that out while I go show you his banging back yard."

"Oh word, bro?" Scott was interested to maybe get outside a bit after everything that happened.

- - -

"They aren't figuring it out are they?" Josh looked around, disappointed as mushy apple and the smell of peanut butter filled his nostrils. Scott hadn't eaten anything since the last apple, so Josh had a brief hope that he'd be thrown up any minute now. Instead there was just… nothing. He could tell the giant was moving around as his massive stomach would turn and rise and lower with steps and movement. But other than that… nothing.

"Well shit…" Josh felt defeated. It wasn't like Scott meant to do this, clearly he didn't see him. Plus, Josh even saw Tyler looking for him just before Scott ate him. Despite this being Tyler's idea, Josh couldn't even find it in his heart to blame him either. Scott's stomach churned as it pulled the mush in it deep inside, digesting everything with casual groans and gurgles. As Josh was broken down in that mush, Josh couldn't anyone to blame besides perhaps bad luck itself.

After several minutes of dipping apple slices dangerously close to Josh, Tyler and Scott had finally run out.

“Hmm, what do we do now dude?” Tyler said, looking across at Scott and then down at Josh with a wicked smile on his face. “What is he planning?” Josh thought to himself, not putting anything past Tyler’s wild imagination.

“Meh, lets just finish the rest with our fingers, the little dude will just have to watch out!” Scott said enthusiastically. Tyler seemed very happy with this suggestion and went diving straight into the still substantial mound of butter with his finger.

Scott followed suit, deliberately getting very close to Josh in order to impress Tyler, “careful guys, you’re pushing me into the pile, I can’t actually get my feet out!” Josh said as he tried to live around, but found the butter had a sort of quicksand property to it. He felt it was maybe safer to just stay put for now rather than risk being submerged and lost in the pile.

Tyler was now in a dominating sort of mood now, partly due to him trying to put on an act in front of Scott, he realised that Josh was stuck and dipped his finger in again, taking a large amount of peanut butter with him, but causing Josh to fall face first into the goop. Tyler laughed out loud, causing Scott to chuckle too at Josh’s sticky predicament.

Scott looked down at Josh, who was still lying on the top of the butter but had managed to roll over onto his back, “my turn for a scoop now” he said, bringing his finger down on top of Josh.

Scott gently pushed onto Josh, sending him a little deeper into the pile, and then took a scoop whilst covering Josh totally apart from his head, which made him look even more helpless. “Hahahah!” Tyler bellowed, that’s hilarious dude! He’s never gonna get of that now without our help!

“Scott!” Josh shouted “you didn’t have to do that! I was already stuck enough!” Scott brought his handsome face down to Josh and stuck out his tongue, which still had the peanut butter on it. He then swallowed it loudly right next to Josh. “That could have been you in that gulp little dude” he said, smiling as he said it.

This remark sparked something in Tyler, he didn’t want to admit it, but he’d always wanted to swallow Josh, and seeing Scott almost pretend that he was going to do it presented Tyler with an opportunity, he would throw him back up of course, but this was a chance to at least see what it was like to swallow his best friend for “fun”.

Tyler brought his finger down to the pile and scooped a massive amount up, which included Josh. “What are you doing Tyler?!” Josh cried.

“I’m hungry dude, and you’re in my food, so that makes you my food” he said as he opened his cavernous mouth. Scott looked alarmed as Tyler put his finger into his mouth and back out again, only now the finger had no peanut butter and no Josh on it.

“Whoa dude, aren’t you going a bit far?” Scott asked with a bit of concern in his voice.
“Nah man, I think he’s always wanted to go into my mouth, he’s constantly hanging around my food so I’m going to let him know what being my food is all about!”

Inside Tyler’s mouth, Josh was being sloshed around by his giant tongue, savouring the flavour of the peanut butter and the additional protein. “Is he going to swallow me?!“ Josh thought, he couldn’t deny that if he was going to get eaten by anyone then he would want it to be Tyler, but he hadn’t planned on it happening like this!

Outside, Tyler was done with the savouring of the butter and Josh, looked straight at Scott with a smirk on his face and swallowed everything down into his stomach.

“Dude! You’ve just eaten him! You’ve eaten Josh!” Scott said with a shocked look on his face. “God he tasted amazing” Tyler said, rubbing his abs quite happily. “I was going to let him out, but part of me wants to keep him down there,I think deep down he’s always wanted this to happen to him.”

“Dude, maybe you should throw him back up first and ask him before you digest him without his permission?” Scott asked

Josh was completely at Tyler’s mercy, Tyler decided……

"Hmmm maybe you're right, dude." Tyler smirked as he looked down at his abs. Thought he wasn't being entirely honest, Tyler at least thought it would be funny to humor Scott. "Yeah I'll bring him back up and ask him. I'll even apologize for not asking him before, bro."

"Hey, there you go!" Scott smiled, glad to see Tyler was at least considering Josh's feeling instead of just viciously digesting the little guy off a feeling. "Yeah, dude, I think he'll appreciate you at least asking. Plus, if he says yes you just gulp him back down, right?"

"You're so right, Scotty." Tyler agreed sarcastically, not that Scott noticed. Tyler stood up and made his way over to the kitchen, Scott following behind as Tyler went to the sink ready to try and regurgitate his little friend. A few minutes went by before Tyler was able to throw the tiny up. Tyler fished him out of the mushy vomit, not even bothering to wash him off as the two giants returned to the table to sit down and chat.

"Yoooo sorry for eating you like a little snack, dude!" Tyler cockily apologized. "I got a little carried away I guess."

Josh, still wiping half digested gunk off himself, was a bit shocked to hear an apology. "Uh, it's okay. I guess you were trying to look cool in front of Scott or something."

"Oh yeah, totally dude." Tyler continued to just play along with everyone. "Scotty was really worried, because I said I wanted to keep you down."

"Yeah, dude. You wouldn't want to actually get suck in Tyler's gut would you?" Scott asked, feeling like there's no way the answer would be yes.

"O-of c-course n-not!" Josh stuttered quite fiercely. Scott didn't seem to notice, but Tyler couldn't help but smirk very clearly catching Josh's stuttery lie.

"I didn't think so!" Scott smiled. "See, Ty I told you, dude."

"Oh yeah for sure, Scotty!" Tyler continued his pretending. "Oh man, now I feel really bad."

Tyler set Josh down on the table before going around and standing next to Scott, resting a hand on this shoulder.

"Alright, dude. I know I'm teaching you how to be a giant. Generally, giants eat little people as a source of protein. But we make an exception for this little guy, okay?" Tyler explained dramatically to Scott, who nodded, still not understanding Tyler's brand of being an asshole to Josh.

"Ha, got it bro! All other tinies are on the menu for sure!" Scott stood up now also, smiling as he looked down at Josh. Josh meanwhile, just couldn't help but stare up at the two massive muscular hunk. Shirtless and laughing as they loomed over him. Josh sweat a little, being eaten by Tyler was such a rush. Josh's mind raced what it would be like if Scott ate him, or if Tyler did it again. He tried to shake the feeling though, he knew that doing that would be the end of his life. But still staring up at the two muscular men in front of him, he felt like it'd be worth becoming part of either of the dumb studs.

- - -

Some time went by as the three hung out. Tyler deliberately continued to make specific note to not eat Josh whenever he could, going as far to be as dramatic and obnoxiously defensive about it as possible, much to Josh's discomfort. The three had all but forgotten about Scott's break up as it started to get late.

"Hey, I'm spending the night, by the way." Tyler yawned at Josh as he stretched.

"Oh sure, that's fine." Josh didn't care either way. "You can sleep in my bed. Not like I can sleep in it anyway."

"Duh, dude. Not like I was gonna cuddle with Scotty." Tyler looked over at Scott. "Unless…?"

"No offense, dude, but I think I'll pass." Scott laughed, appreciating Tyler's jokey nature. Tyler shrugged and looked back at Josh.

"Oh well your loss. Guess you're stuck with me, little buddy." Tyler smirked almost too cockily at Josh. Josh sweat for a second before responding…

"Um yeah that's fine." Josh felt slightly nervous. Not like him and Tyler hadn't slept together before, but something just was hitting Josh different right now having spent a few minutes in the jock's stomach. Tyler rose an eyebrow, noticing Josh's awkwardness.

"Oh it'll be fine alright…" Tyler stood up and loomed over Josh. Scott not really noticing the tension merely yawned and wished the two good night as he made he's way upstairs to his new bedroom. Tyler meanwhile scooped Josh up in his hand, making their way to Josh's bedroom as Josh continued to sweat a little nervously.

Alone with Tyler, Josh sat on his night stand as Tyler jumped into his bed. Tyler relaxed as he put his arms behind his head and turned his head to look at Josh.

"Shit dude, your bed is always so comfy. Maybe we should just shrink you permanently and I can keep it." Tyler smirked, half serious as he'd love to steal Josh's bed and keep the little man tiny for his amusement all the time.

"Or I could just buy you the same bed or something…" Josh blushed, feeling slightly flustered over the idea of being shrunk permanently.

"Nah that's boring. Come on dude, you're telling me you wouldn't want to be shrunk permanently?" Tyler turned on his side and looked at Josh almost seductively.

"Umm n-no!" Josh stuttered again, way too obviously. Tyler simple smiled, way too knowing of his little friend.

"But dude, I'd take care of you…" Tyler reached for Josh against his will, grabbing him and placing him down on his abs. Josh toppled off his feet as he landed on the hard muscular surface of his friend's stomach. Josh could hear Tyler's stomach gurgle a little under him as he couldn't help but stare down for a moment. "Oh sorry, dude. My stomach keeps gurgling at me, bro. All that food I ate earlier. Well you know, you were there for a little bit."

"Ha ha yeah… that was certainly something…" Josh bit his lip, as he couldn't help but imagine the digestive process taking place on the other side of Tyler's abs.

"Not that you have to worry about that happening again, huh dude?" Tyler teased Josh more. Tyler flexed his arm casually, while puffing up his chest a little. "The rest of that food is all going straight to my muscles though, bro. Right where you would have been going if I kept you down, huh?"

"Yeah, I guess that would've been the case, huh?" Josh was bright red, sweating as he watched Tyler show off.

"Oh man, but I won't let that happen to you, dude. You don't want that." Tyler smirked, putting his arm down and reaching for Josh once again, this time pinching him carefully between his fingers as he brought Josh up to his face. Tyler gave Josh a big smile.

"Dude, is there anything stuck in my teeth? Feels like something is there." Tyler rubbed his perfect white teeth with his finger as Josh looked at the front of teeth. Josh did spot something that looked like it was stuck between two front teeth.

"Um, yeah look like something right there." Josh pointed at it. "Between your front teeth, d-did you want me to get it?"

"What? No way, dude." Tyler scraped the piece of food out of his mouth on his own. "I mean have you go in my mouth? That'd be dangerous. I could swallow you by mistake, dude."

"Ha yeah, you're right…" Josh was a little disappointed. Tyler's mouth suddenly opened as he belted out a massive burp right into Josh. Josh braced himself, but couldn't help but be completely overwhelmed by the intense smell and even bits of spit that flew out and hit him.

"Oh shit, my bad dude." Tyler apologized for his burp. "That snuck right out, man I blew that all right in your face too."

"It's f-fine." Josh accepted the unusual apology from Tyler, as the smell lingered with a somewhat horrid mix of all the food Tyler ate today.

"Man that tasted kinda good though. Ha, dude I bet you got a good wiff of what my stomach would be smelling like if you were still in there!" Tyler laughed super casually as he leaned back and set Josh back down on the night stand. Tyler stood up and stretched, looming over Josh and deliberately patting his stomach a little more and letting out a second wet and loud burp. "Phew, these are coming from a real deep dark place, dude!"

Josh could barely stand it as he continued to stare up at the cocky jock. It was taking every ounce of his will power to not give in.

Tyler knelt down, still towering massively over Josh as the night stand barely made it to Tyler's abdomen. Tyler continued to rub his muscular abs as he looked down at Josh.

"Bro, I'm still so sorry for even thinking about keeping you down in my gut." Tyler obnoxiously and disingenuously apologized. "You just always end up in or around my food. Guess it was real dumb of me for thinking you'd want me to eat you, huh?"

Josh stammered as he looked up at his beefy friend. Josh swallowed hard as he responded…

"No… you were right. When you ate me, all I could think about was how I wished I could just be left down there." Josh finally admitted. "You were right, protein for your muscles? Sounds amazing! I've always stayed close to your food, hoping for an accident."

Josh looked down, embarrassed before simply hearing Tyler laugh uncontrollable. Josh watched as eh man rocked backwards off his knees and onto his back on the floor, landing there with a loud thud as he continued to laugh even the the point where he wiped away tears. Josh couldn't believe the reaction as Tyler sat up off the floor and looked at Josh, still chuckling to himself a little.

"Why was that so funny?!" Josh was now a mix of angry and embarrassed at this point.

"Because! Duuuuuuuhhhh duuuude!" Tyler obnoxiously mocked Josh. "I know I'm dumb, dude. But I'm not THAT dumb."

"But… then what was with all the theatrics earlier?" Josh was slightly confused. "You love calling me out! Why didn't you?"

"Because it was funnier to play along with you for a change." Tyler shrugged, actually quite proud of himself. "Besides, Scott was buying it too. It was funny, dude."

"Man… so you were just toying with me the whole time…" Josh sat down feeling so defeated.

"You act like that's anything new, shrimpy." Tyler chuckled. "But not the entire time, I did want to keep you down. But Scott convinced me to bring you up and ask."

"Oh… so you do want to digest me like a little piece of protein?" Josh felt awkward asking, but wanted to clarification.

"Hell yeah, dude. But I don't think I will anymore!" Tyler stuck his tongue out at Josh and laughed. Josh stood up, now confused once again.

"Huh? Why what's changed?" Josh answered, actually disappointed. Tyler simply stood up and shook his head.

"Dude, because you want it too bad now. Now that I know just how bad, it's way funnier to just make fun of you for it!" Tyler smiled brightly, feeling like he had a new lease on just how he wants to torture Josh. Josh couldn't believe it. Not only had Josh pouring out his feelings to Tyler, the cruel giant now planned to use it as fuel for bullying him.

"This is awful… I never should have gave in and told you." Josh felt defeated. Tyler simply leaned in looming over Josh once again.

"Oh dude, it's fine. I mean I already knew anyway." Tyler laughed again, furthering Josh's torment. "Hey, maybe if you're a good little piece of protein I'll eat you."

"Really?" Josh perked up a little, wanting nothing more at this point especially now that Tyler was planning on torturing him with this new knowledge.

"Sure, shrimp. But you're gonna have to work real hard if you want to be part of this." Tyler did a slow motion double bicep pose before running a hand down his torso and abs. Tyler burped again rubbing his stomach pompously. "Bet you wish in here for that."

Josh bit his lip again. Tyler was being so obnoxious, but it made it all the more tantalizing to the little man. But Josh couldn't help but shake the feeling Tyler was just playing it up again, only to disappoint him. Regardless the two men eventually went to sleep. As Josh had time to think, sleeping a distance from Tyler, he started to think that he should…

"You know I was thinking I should spend the night in Scott's room tonight." Josh looked over at Scott. "In case he needs anything and stuff."

"Suit yourself!" Tyler shrugged at Josh as he turned and made his way upstairs leaving just the two downstairs.

"Hey, it's fine dude. If you want to spend the night in your own room, I don't mind." Scott, tried to convince Josh he was fine. Josh shook his head, having made up his mind.

"No no, I'd rather be there in case you needed something. Plus Tyler snores loud!" Josh tried to joke and lighten his intentions a little. Scott chuckled as he scooped Josh up in his hand and made his way up stairs with him.

"I don't think I snore, dude! At least I hope not!" Scott smiled as he made his way into the room and shut the door behind him. The two looked into the room, seeing Scott hadn't really had time to unpack or organize yet. "Shit, I forgot I didn't put any of my stuff away yet."

Scott set Josh on on a night stand as he reached down for his over stuffed gym bag. Josh couldn't help but stare a little. Scott seemed to wear shorts that didn't fit him too well as it was falling down past his waist, showing off his black compression shorts on his massive ass. But as the giant bent over Josh swallowed as he more or less got full view of the tightly clad muscular butt. Josh shook out of his staring as Scott turned to him after setting the bag on his new bed.

"Unpacking seems kind of boring, dude. Sorry probably not the most exciting first night." Scott sat on the bed and turned to Josh as he unzipped his bag.

"That's okay, I'm fine with just chatting while you unpack." Josh sat down, crossing his legs and looking over at Scott like he was some kind of massive god. "Wish I could help, but you know."

"Ha, yeah dude. You don't need to help. Doubt you could even move one of my socks." Scott laughed as he pulled out a sock and tossed it off the bed and on the floor.

"You're absolutely right!" Josh agreed, knowing it'd certainly be impossible to make the massive sock so much as budge. Josh watched for a few moments as he saw Scott pulling out pieces of clothes and organizing them by tossing them into piles on the floor. "Wow, looks like mountains to me!"

"Really, dude? Guess I don't realize just how little you are." Scott laughed as he tossed another piece of clothes. "Ha, now I feel a little bad about smooshing you into that peanut butter!"

"No no! You were fine. You were getting into it. It was fun." Josh tried to reassure Scott.

"Oh so you do like getting bullied as a tiny, huh?" Scott laughed, noticing Josh's use of the word 'fun'.

"Well yeah, I guess so." Josh felt comfortable admitting that to Scott. Scott couldn't help but chuckle as he pulled out the last piece of clothing and stood up, getting ready to shove the clothes into some empty drawers of a dresser Josh had in the room.

"Bro, I thought Ty was just messing with me. That's wild you actually like it, dude." Scott couldn't help but be a little surprised. "In that case, I take back my apology. I'll shove you in peanut butter whenever I want."

"There you go! Feel free, I don't mind." Josh daydreamed for a second about Scott smooshing him into peanut butter before eating him. Once again, Josh tried to shake the feeling as he saw Scott had finished putting away his clothes.

"Don't tell Ty I apologized, not unless you wanna send the night in my arm pit…" Scott walked over to Josh, looming over him and putting his huge arms behind his head to show off his arm pits. "Would've said my stomach, but he did say you're off the tiny person menu."

"Oh yes sir! I won't tell him!" Josh sweat a little, wanting to play along with this slightly more dominant Scott. "Well don't tell Ty either, but I wasn't honest with him earlier."

Josh let that slip, as he couldn't help it in the moment. Scott meanwhile knelt down, curious about what Josh meant.

"Huh, about what?" Scott asked, putting down his arms but still looming like a sky scrapper over Josh.

"Well you asked if I'd want to stay down in his stomach…. well I lied before." Josh admitted, again feeling vulnerable yet honest around Scott.

"Wait really? You wanted to stay in there?" Scott hunched over now, getting his face a little closer to Josh. "He did say you always suspiciously end up in or around his food, dude."

"Yeah…" Josh felt a little embarrassed. "It's been a little deliberate a lot of the time."

"Huh." Scott simply exclaimed. "Why though, dude?"

"I don't know. It's hard to explain. Maybe just that I'm so small, I see how big and strong and dominant he is and I just want to be a part of that." Josh tried his best to put his feelings out in an easy to understand way. Scott shrugged and nodded.

"Makes sense to me!" Scott agreed almost too easily. "So should we go get him? Bet he'd be super down dude, he was earlier anyway."

"No no, I told you not to tell Ty, remember?" Josh brought it back to where he initially brought it up. "If you told him, I'd definitely tell him you apologized to me!"

"Oh dude, I did forget. My bad." Scott laughed, now sitting down on the ground with a thud so he didn't need to lean over Josh anymore. "Why don't you wanna tell him? Second thoughts?"

"No, I don't think so. I just think he'd be a real dick about it now after I lied earlier." Josh tried to clarify his feelings.

"Probably, dude! But you'd only have to put up with him for a few minutes!" Scott was almost trying to convince Josh into getting Tyler at this point.

"Knowing him he'd draw it out. God I'd just want him to get it over with, it wouldn't even be worth it by the time he does eat me." Josh rolled his eyes, just imagining how much of an obnoxious jerk Tyler would be about it. "I wonder how he'd react if he found out you ate me?"

"Me?" Scott seems a little surprised. "He'd probably be really proud. Probably laugh about it and say he's happy I broke his one exception."

"Yeah probably, he'd say something about how it was a test and you passed, I bet!" Josh continued the conversation, wondering what Scott was thinking.

"Well now that I know your little secret, I might have to gulp you down, dude!" Scott winked at Josh, as he wasn't sure if the giant was just teasing him or not. "But you want Ty to do it, so I wouldn't get in the way of that, dude."

"I mean it doesn't have to be Tyler." Josh tried to drop the hint. "I think I just want to be eaten by a big, arrogant, muscular guy…"

"That's kind of specific, dude!" Scott scratched his head. "Ty's the only dude I know that really fits the bill, maybe a few guys at the gym I go to?"

Josh sighed, Scott really was dumb as he was hot and muscled. "That's okay, we'll keep thinking."

"Alright! I'm gonna unpack more of my stuff while I think!" Scott stood up and reached for another one of his bags. "Hey, tiny! How bout you clean that table you're on. If it's not spotless, you're sleeping on the floor in a sock!"

"Yes sir! I'll do my best!" Josh went along with Scott again, really liking when the massive giant bossed him around and issued threats like that. Josh looked around the night stand he was on, noticing it was already spotless from his regular cleaning. Regardless, Josh walked around it, making it look like he was doing something as Scott unloaded and xbox and started hooking it up to a TV Josh had in the room. Finishing organizing his games, Scott looked over at Josh and inspected the surface.

"Not bad, not bad. Looks clean to me." Scott knelt down to look. The giant clutched his stomach and pushed out a wet burp, letting it wash over Josh like a gale. "There's your reward, tiny!"

"You're so generous, giant Scott. I don't deserve this great of a reward!" Josh played it up, wanting to fuel Scott into an even more dominant giant. Josh saw a flicker of a smirk fly across Scott's face as the giant turned away from him, once again giving a great view of his ass.

"Hey tiny dude." Scott turned his head looking back at Josh. "I was thinking of something…"

"Oh? What is it, Giant Scott?" Josh asked, wondering what may be brewing in Scott's thick skull.

"I was just thinking that…"

"I just realized, dude! I'm those things you mentioned! I could just eat you." Scott turned and looked at Josh like this was some kind of miraculous revelation. Josh couldn't help but chuckle a little. While Josh wouldn't describe Scott as 'arrogant' exactly, his dumb himbo like charm was certainly a large part of his appeal.

"You're right Scott! I'd love it. But would you do it?" Josh asked, genuinely wondering it Scott had the guts to do it.

"Yeah, I mean what could you do to stop me?" Scott said with a somewhat arrogant tone as he walked over and loomed over Josh. "You could try and struggle if you wanted. But I'm so much bigger than you, dude. Hell I'm bigger than Ty, and there was nothing you could have done against him!"

"Wow, yeah you're right. You're way bigger than Ty." Josh admired Scott's size, especially with the giant looming over him it was even more evident how much bigger he was than his best friend. "You probably need way more protein than he does to keep that size."

"You know it, little guy! Man you have no idea how much I have to eat in a day." Scott flexed an arm, admiring it for a second as his stomach growled a little loudly. "Helps I'm always hungry too!"

"I bet it does…" Josh said a little under his breath just admiring Scott's fantastic physique. "You know, I really don't think Tyler compares to you at all. I'm glad he threw me up, because I'd rather if you were the one who digested me…"

"Mmm I could squish you in some peanut butter and make you into a little snack…" Scott licked his lips, thinking about how he taunted Josh earlier in that peanut butter. "Probably would be more fun to flick you around in my mouth and swallow you whole though…"

"I guess it's not really up to me, huh?" Josh shook with a little excitement. He still couldn't believe they had gotten to this point of Scott starting off hesitant to even speak down to Josh, to now. Josh sweat as Scott came closer, reaching down and pinching him between his fingers, slowly bringing him up to his face.

"Nope, dude." Scott smiled, looking at Josh pinched precariously in his fingers. "Dude, even if you're starting to change your mind, I think I've made up mine…"

"Oh no please don't eat me, Mr. Giant!" Josh smiled, feeling a little playful even in the face of that giant who was about to eat him.

"No? But you're just the right size for a snack, dude…" Scott smirked, starting to feel a little cocky as Josh started to get playful. Scott moved Josh away from his face now, letting the little man see he body in a bit better of an angle. Scott flexed his abs, letting out a deep breath before bouncing his pecs up and down a little. "Too bad, bro. Might as well accept you're going into this bod, dude."

"Oh no please have mercy!" Josh continued to plead coyly. "I'm still a human being!"

"If you're small enough to eat, then that doesn't really matter, dude. You're kinda at the bottom of the food chain here, bro." Scott smirked arrogantly as he brought Josh back closer to his face. "I mean those little lizards you see on the side walks could make a meal out of you. Meanwhile, I could still swallow one of those little shits whole, let alone you."

"I wouldn't even be as filling as the lizard though!" Josh sweat, feeling like the banter Scott was giving him was one of the hottest things he's experienced. "You wouldn't even notice me in your stomach!"

Scott laughed, shrugging a little bit. "Whatever, I never think about my food after I eat it. Protein is protein, bro!"

"But I uhhh…" Josh tried to think of any other reason he could. Scott merely rose an eyebrow and let out another chuckle. "I uh could be useful some other way?"

"Really, dude? I mean we already know you can't even move a sock." Scott chuckled as he motioned at the dresser. "What could even do, dude? Clean dirt out from between my toes?"

"Ummm yeah I guess?" Josh felt like it wasn't a super hard sell, not that it mattered to him. Scoot shook his head though.

"Nah, pass. I'm hungry." Scott smirked as he brought Josh closer to his mouth. "Bottoms up, dude! Try not to squirm too much!"

Josh braced himself as Scott licked his lips and opened his mouth, lowering him inside before releasing him and closing his mouth. Josh struggled to find up from down, as Scott sucked on his tiny body, pressing him against the roof of his mouth and rolling him around in the massive cavern. Josh took gasps of air as Scot sucked him into this cheek, continuing to roll him around like a candy. Suddenly, Josh found himself on one of Scott's molars as he saw Scott's tooth come crashing down, stopping just before pulverizing him.

"Just kidding, bug! You get the pleasure of going down whole!" Scott's voice boomed out over him as the man sucked him back into his mouth. Josh found himself positioned in the center of the giant's tongue, staring one way at the massive rows of teeth, and the other at Scott's throat, uvula hung like a huge sign pointing him to his eventual destination. Scott's tongue started to angle and lurk as Josh was being forced to the back, being positioned closer to the uvula as the was a sudden drop and welt gulp. Prospective shifted, and Josh looked around flailing his arms and legs uselessly as he was being forced downward, the sounds of Scott's breaths now being drowned out by his heartbeat, before even that sounded miles above him before long.

- - -

Scott opened his mouth, moving his tongue around a little. He was pretty sure he swallowed the little guy, but he was so small it was honestly hard for him to tell. Swallowing again for good measure, Scott put a hand on his chest trying to see if he could feel any kind of faint squirm or struggle. Scott patted his chest, feeling nothing at all.

"Well that's one more gram of protein!" Scott flexed, looking down at his impressive body with admiration. A big part of him felt really good about how badly Josh ended up wanting to be a part of him. Scott rubbed his abs, letting out a slight burp. Nodding to himself, he felt proud. Pulling out his phone, Scott pulled up Tyler's contact and decided to send the man a text, despite him only being a few rooms over.

"yo dude u up?" Scott simply typed, sending the message and waiting for a reply. While waiting, Scott just imagined how proud or maybe even jealous Tyler would be. A little time passed as…

Scott looked down at his phone, seeing he had a reply from Tyler.

"sup dude ya im still up" Scott read the message with a smirk before responding.

"cool just wanted to check be4 i barged in" Scott answered as he set down his phone, leaving the room and going down the hall to Tyler's room, knocking once and opening the door. Scott saw Tyler sprawled out on the bed, still wearing his work shorts, shirtless and holding his phone.

"Yo! That was fast, dude. What's up?" Tyler sat up from the bed setting aside his phone.

"Hey, bro! Yeah so I just wasn't ready to go to sleep, so I thought we could chill." Scott said somewhat awkwardly as he went over and sat on the bed next to Tyler.

"Of course, my man. What about the shrimp? He asleep already?" Tyler asked, kind of hoping Josh came along for fresh bullying.

"Uhhhh well…" Scott put a hand on his stomach. "Dude, don't be mad, but I ate him. He said he was glad you threw him up, because he wanted me to digest him."

"Dude! What?!" Tyler was borderline furious. "He said that?!"

"Yeah duuuude sorry." Scott shrugged, still riding off some of the arrogance he had with Josh.

"Bro, you have to puke him up right now, so I can beat his sorry tiny ass." Tyler looked at Scott, dead serious.

"Huh, dude what? He's kinda busy right now getting digested, bro." Scott put a hand on his stomach, not wanting to throw Josh up after so much build up to eating him.

"Don't care, dude. Throw him up, right now. I've got some business with this little punk." Tyler insisted, getting more mad by the second that Josh chose Scott over him.

"Dude, relax, he asked me to eat him." Scott stood up, feeling a little uncomfortable. "What do you want me to do?"

Tyler put down his arm, in a position for an arm wrestle. "Dude, let's arm wrestle for it. If I win, you throw him up. Otherwise whatever, I guess just digest the little runt."

"Seriously dude?" Scott looked at Tyler, arm on the bed, waiting in position. Scott shrugged, kneeing down and put up his arm. "You sure dude? I'm probably stronger than you, you know?"

"Don't care dude, put up your fucking arm." Tyler insisted, fueled with adrenaline. Scott reciprocated as he grabbed Tyler's hand, resting his arm down on the bed. "Okay dude, three… two… one!"

The two men immediately started pushing against each other as…

Scott rolled his shoulders and readied himself for the arm wrestle. Looking down at Tyler, he knew there was no way he could lose, no matter how pumped up he was. Resting his arm on the bed, Scott grabbed Tyler's hand, immediately turning over Tyler's arm on the 'one'. Scott stood up, very proud of himself for immediately owning Tyler at the arm wrestle.

"Bro… okay yeah I did not think that through…" Tyler admitted, massaging his arm as he was very thoroughly beaten by Scott.

"Sorry, dude. Never really been one to lose an arm wrestle." Scott laughed, feeling a slight pump in his arm.

"It's cool dude, sorry I got so worked up." Tyler stood up, admitting his defeat. "I guess if I got out muscled that easily, I've got no business telling you to puke the twerp up."

"It's fine, dude. I didn't mean to push your buttons." Scott shrugged, still feeling pretty big. Tyler laughed and shook his head as he stood up and came around the side of the bed, pulling Scott in for a quick bro-hug.

"Nah dude, you're fine. If anything, I'm glad the squirt owned up to you." Tyler smiled, slapping Scott on the back.

"Really, dude? Well that's good." Scott smiled, glad to get Tyler's approval. "I was worried you were mad at me for a minute there."

"Nah, nah. It's all good dude. I mean, I just met you basically, bro." Tyler waved his hands trying to explain. "I mean, bro… Josh has been sneaking into my food for years. I didn't expect today to be the day he breaks for someone."

"Woah, that's crazy, bro." Scott felt a little proud. Scott put a hand on his stomach, feeling slightly guilty. "Dude, I can puke him up if you really wanna be the one to keep him down."

"Nahhhh seriously, bro." Tyler waved his hands as he plopped back down on the bed. "I mean, I respect him enough to decide to pick you."

"Word, bro." Scott answered as he sat down next to Tyler. "If it makes a difference, I only swallowed him like maybe ten minutes ago? If you wanna talk shit, go for it , bro."

Scott leaned back stretching out his abdomen, inviting Tyler to speak to it. Tyler laughed as he leaned into Scott's stomach.

"Yo! Fuck you dude! I would've kept you down earlier, you pussy! Shit dude, I would've ate you any day of the week!" Tyler yelled at Scott's stomach. "Aight, I'm good dude."

"You sure, bro?" Scott chuckled, wondering if Josh was even still kicking in there.

"Yeah, as long he knows I knew, that's good enough for me." Tyler laid on his back, shrugging and moving past the issue. Scott laid down now beside Tyler, putting his arms behind his head and relaxing.

"I bet he heard, you bro." Scott nudged Tyler in the side playfully.

- - -

"YO! FUCK YOU DUDE! I WOULD'VE KEPT YOU DOWN EARLIER, YOU PUSSY! SHIT DUDE, I WOULD'VE ATE YOU ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!"

Josh heard Tyler's voice echo throughout Scott's stomach, as if he had screamed it into the cavern.

"Well I guess that cat is out of the bag…" Josh said to himself as he was just getting cozy and comfortable in the warmth of Scott's belly.

It didn't matter. So what if Scott told Tyler what happened. Judging by his surroundings, Josh assumed he wasn't going anywhere. Sitting back in the food of Scott's stomach, Josh didn't have a care in the world. As Scott's stomach churned and groaned, it was only a matter of minutes before Josh was but a simple contribution to the god like body of Scott.

Scott watched his phone for a few minutes, seeing there was no reply. Shrugging, Scott figured he must've already been asleep. Stretching, Scott yawned as he thought bed seemed like a pretty good idea anyway. Finally, changing out of his work shorts and into just a pair of underwear, Scott scratched his abs as he sat down laying in the bed and pulling a sheet over himself. He could feel his stomach give a slight gurgle, but honestly at this point Scott had already forgotten about the little speck of a man who had ecstatically given himself up to be a part of him. All Scott could really think of was wanting to drift off to sleep.

- - -

There was plenty of movement for sure, but apart from the rush of air from the burp earlier, Josh mostly found himself in a fairly peaceful rest in the pit of Scott's stomach. He was able to find some amount of respite in a portion of the organ that wasn't currently flooded in stomach acid. Josh sat back, covered in mucus or perhaps it was still saliva from being sloshed around in Scott's mouth? It didn't matter. None of it really mattered to Josh at this point. There was a loud gurgle from Scott's stomach, the organ churning as Josh imagine Scott had started to lay down to go to sleep. From what Josh knew that meant digest would start to slow down a bit, but he didn't think it would make much of a different to someone as small as him.

"I'm just a piece of protein to his godlike body now." Josh said happily as the stomach churned again. It didn't take much, one simple movement of the organ of what it did best, churn food into the pools of acid to be broken down. Josh hoped he didn't have to suffer long as the acid broke down his feeble body. Struggling for only a minute, it didn't take long for the little man to succumb to the giant's stomach.

- - -

Morning broke as Scott covered his face from the sunlight from the window. Pulling himself out of bed, Scott yawned and stretched as he fished into his drawers for a pair of shorts. Half-assedly pulling them up, Scott groggily made his way out of the bedroom, looking down the hall to see the door to Josh's room was already open. Figuring Tyler must already be up, Scott made his way downstairs, seeing the man already down there eating a plate of scrambled eggs.

"Yo dude! Made extra eggs if you want some?" Tyler called out as he saw Scott come down the stairs. Scott put a hand on his stomach and felt his mouth water a little.

"Dude I'm starving, I'd love some." Scott answered eagerly as Tyler got up, getting him a plate of food as well. Digging in, Scott practically demolished the pile of food in mere moments.

"Dude, you weren't kidding!" Tyler laughed, impressed that someone could actually eat faster than him. "Oh where's the shrimp by the way?"

"Uhhhh…" Scott rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "Well know how he said he didn't want you to keep him down in your stomach yesterday?"

"Yeah?" Tyler chuckled, already figuring where this must be going.

"And remember how we weren't supposed to eat him?" Scott prattled on for a moment.

"Yeahhhh?" Tyler played along, wanting to see how far Scott was going to go with this before just spilling it.

"Well I wasn't supposed to tell you something, dude…" Scott felt a little guilty.

"Well now you gotta tell me, Scotty!" Tyler rested his chin on his hand, intrigued with how much this was being stupidly drawn out.

"Okay well, Josh told me he was lying to you before. He did want you to keep him down." Scott admitted, feeling bad about doing so.

"Oh shit, dude. Well where is the little shit? I'll eat em right now for breakfast!" Tyler asked, already figuring he knew where Josh was.

"Well, here's the thing dude." Scott put a hand on his abs. "One thing lead to another last night, and he ended up really wanting me to eat him."

"Aw dude, so you already did the deed, huh?" Tyler sat back, not at all surprised. "Well I guess that's fine. I mean clearly I would've wanted to be the one to digest the little twerp, but eh."

"Well, he was worried if he told you that you would just make fun of him, and not actually do it." Scott tried to explain why Josh might've chose him instead.

"Huh, yeah that sounds like something I'd do." Tyler sat back, thinking about and realizing how funny it would have been. "So you shit the little guy out yet or what?"

"Huh? No, dude. I just got up." Scott put a hand on his stomach. "I haven't really needed to shit yet, I guess."

"Well I guess he's still in that muscular beautiful body of yours!" Tyler laughed, teasing Scott with a wink. Scott looked down at his torso and laughed along.

"I guess, dude. I was hoping he'd go to the guns, you know?" Scott flexed both his biceps briefly. Tyler chuckled and nodded.

"I'm sure he did, dude." Tyler found it amusing. A bit of jealous brewed up inside of him, but overall, he was glad his friend finally achieved his dream.

"Hmmm…" Tyler thought for a moment. It was very tempting to just leave Josh in his stomach, easy even. But his mind started to race a bit with some of the consequences it might hold. Looking at Scott's concerned face though, Tyler thought of an idea to push his friend's giant training even further. "Alright, here's the deal dude. I'll throw him up. But you have to eat him after."

"What? Dude, I was only messing with him! I don't wanna eat him!" Scott looked at Tyler with shock. Tyler simply shrugged and leaned back, giving his abs a slight pat.

"Oh well if that's the case. Guess Josh better get comfy in my stomach." Tyler yawned and stretched. "Wonder how he's doing in there? I mean it's thanks to you he get's to stay in there, dude."

"…Fine. I'll eat him if you puke him up. Please?" Scott crossed his arms, not wanting his new friend and housemate to get digested whether the two of them really wanted it or not.

"You won't regret it, dude. He tasted great. Plus you'll make great progress as a giant in training!" Tyler's mood immediately shifted from one of cocky indifference to excitement. Tyler stood up, making his way into the kitchen and plugging up the sink before starting to try and make himself throw up. Scott followed him out, looking over his shoulder and patting Tyler on the back. A few minutes went by as Tyler spewed out a mess of chewed up apple and peanut butter. Looking through the mess, they saw Josh, struggling as a chunk of apple had him pinned in the sink. Tyler smirked as he pinched Josh between his fingers and brought him out of the sink.

"There… uurp… got him up." Tyler burped a little queasy from making himself puke like that. Tyler put Josh in his palm as he turned his back to the sink, leaning against it and holding Josh between himself and Scott. "How'd you like the ride, have fun bud?"

"I…" Josh wiped his face, still readjusting to the light outside as he looked from Tyler's massive body over to Scott's even larger and more towering form. "I wasn't sure if you were gonna throw me up."

"Don't sound so disappointed, dude. Besides why would I do that?" Tyler looked at Josh a little offended, despite just threatening to digest him just minutes ago.

"But dude, you were just talking about how you'd want to keep him down." Scott looked at Tyler, a little confused. Tyler simply shot him a look, forgetting how dumb Scott was.

"Wow, dude. Way to out me." Tyler mumbled at Scott. "Don't mind Scott, dude. I was only joking when I said that."

"Oh okay…" Josh responded, not really sure what to believe.

"Either way dude, don't get too comfy! It's time for round two!" Tyler shoved Josh into Scott's hand and looked up at Scott. "You're turn dude!"

"What's happening?!" Josh yelled as he was quickly transferred from on hand to another. Josh now stared up at Scott's body.It was like a massive living sky scrapper. Josh stared from the man's deep cut abs all the way to his massive pecs. If it hadn't been for Scott looking down at him, Josh doubted he could have seen the handsome man's face past his incredible chest.

"Oh, yeah. I promised to eat you after he puked you up… so sorry dude." Scott apologized as he brought Josh up a little closer to his face.

"Dude! Don't apologize! Where's your confidence from earlier?" Tyler scolded Scott in disappointment.

"Sorry dude, it was easier when I was just teasing." Scott smiled and rubbed the back of his head. Scott looked a little closer at Josh now that he was nearer his face. "Dude you look like you're covered in puke."

"Well… I was just in Tyler's stomach." Josh said, still registering that Scott was apparently going to eat him as well.

"Oh right. Well here, I'm gonna dunk you in a little peanut butter first, okay?" Scott said to Josh as they walked back over to the plate, covering Josh in a little peanut butter. "There we go. You ready dude?"

"Uh huh." Josh answered, honestly still in shock from just getting swallowed by Tyler and now staring at Scott's amazing body, thinking about how he'll soon be deep inside this giant instead.

"Cool, dude." Scott brought Josh up to his mouth before licking him off his palm. Swishing Josh around in his mouth for a moment, Scott savored the taste a little before he swallowed. All the while, Tyler watched on, baffled. "You're right dude, he was pretty tasty."

"Bro what just happened?" Tyler blinked, a little dumbfounded by what he just watched. "He just kinda… let you do it?"

"Huh, yeah now that you mention it. He didn't seem to mind, did he?" Scott crossed his arms in thought, not even recognizing the fact that the little man was being currently deposited into his stomach like a piece of meat. "I dunno dude, maybe he would've wanted you to digest him if you asked?"

Tyler laughed and walked over to Scott and put his arm around him, jabbing him in the side playfully. "Maybe he would have? Or maybe he wanted you to be the one to do it, stud!"

"Me? Why me?" Scott rose an eyebrow, confused.

"I dunno dude. I don't know how his little bug brain works. I mean you're a big dude." Tyler look his hand and compared their heights. "Maybe you pushed him over his tipping point?"

"Huh… maybe." Scott looked down at his abs. "Think he likes it in there?"

"Oh he probably loves it, dude." Tyler smirked, thinking about the years he's been around Josh and the number 'scares' they've had.

"You think so, dude?" Scott put a hand on his stomach. "Wonder why? What's it even like in there?"

"I dunno, dude. You ever think about food after you eat it?" Tyler asked.

"Not really no." Scott shrugged.

"There you go, dude." Tyler answered matter of factly. "In the end you end up just shitting out what's left."

"Dude! When you put it like that I don't think I wanna leave him in there…" Scott frowned and looked at his stomach. "He doesn't deserve that."

"I mean I'm sure most of him would go to your big ass muscles." Tyler teased Scott, squeezing his massive bicep. Tyler laughed as he gave Scott's ass a quick slap. "Or maybe just your big ass, dude!"

"Ha dude you think?" Scott smiled, thinking about if the little guy would want to be come part of his muscles or not. Scott flexed his bicep a little before sighing. "I should still throw him up though."

"Do whatever, dude." Tyler shrugged as he walked away from Scott's side.

"You wouldn't be mad if I you know… digested him?" Scott asked Tyler, who once again shrugged.

"Nah dude. If he wanted it, I'd respect that." Tyler smirked, being how he really felt. Scott nodded as he made his way into the kitchen, starting to make himself throw up like Tyler did earlier. A few minutes went by as Scott managed to get the little guy back up. Scott washed Josh off as the three men continued to hang out for a little while longer.

- - -

Some time had gone by as it got a little later in the evening.

"Guess I'll head out, dudes." Tyler stretched as he got up, wishing his friends a good night. Tyler smirked at Scott as he left and the two bid him farewell. Alone now, Scott sat at the table with Josh in front of him still.

"That was fun dude. I guess I learned a lot about being a giant, huh?" Scott smiled, glad he got to spend time with his new friends.

"Yeah you did… really well with that." Josh stumbled over his words sweating a little that he was left alone with Scott.

"Hey, dude. Be honest, do you really like it when him or I tease you like that?" Scott asked, genuinely.

"I do. I mean… uhhh…" Josh accidentally spat the answer out. Scott simply started to laugh a little.

"Hah, let that slip huh, dude? No worries." Scott leaned back a little, feeling a bit more comfortable. Looking down at his abs, Scott remembered his thoughts from earlier. "Hey, dude. What was it like in my stomach?"

"Huh?" Josh turned red, embarrassed again. "Well… it was really big. Like being inside a massive living building. It was kinda dark too… but my eyes adjusted pretty fast."

"Wow, that's neat, dude." Scott looked up, trying to picture it. "Did you like it in there?"

"Sorry?" Josh felt caught off guard by the question.

"Dude, you're the one all stuttery not me." Scott chuckled. "Did you like it in there?"

"Well umm…" Josh thought for a second. Wondering how he should answer. "Well I thought it was…"

"I'll be honest with you, Scott. I thought it was amazing." Josh decided to confess his true feelings. "Maybe it's something I can't talk about with Tyler. But with you… I don't know."

"Do I uhhh…" Scott tried to think of what Tyler said earlier. "Push you over your tipping point because I'm a big stud?"

Normally, Josh would have laughed at the statement. But the way Scott delivered it was exactly the reason why he was so enamored with Scott. "He's like Tyler… but bigger and dumber…"

"What's up dude? You're mumbling again." Scott scratched his chin a little.

"Sorry! But you're right. There's something about you, I don't know if I can explain it." Josh stammered, feeling weird that his relationship with Scott moved this fast. Josh couldn't help but stare at Scott's body as he sat in front of him. He was so big that his entire abdomen and upwards was level to the table. Scott looked at Josh, noticing that even as small as he was, he was clearly staring.

"I work really hard on my body, dude." Scott flexed his pecs a little, letting them bounce and down. Scott flexed his bicep in front of Josh. "If I ate you again, you could probably go to my biceps or something, dude. If you wanted…"

"You mean… you'd digest me?" Josh asked, awkwardly.

"Sure, dude. I mean it would suck… you just offered me a place to live and a job." Scott crossed his arms. "But I owe you, so if it's what you'd want, I'd do it. Besides it's be pretty baller having my buddy be part of my bod."

"I want to do it." Josh said without hesitation. Josh stopped, almost shocked at what he just said. Josh watched as Scott uncrossed his arms and leaned forward. Sweating, Josh looked up at the man feeling both excited and a little terrified.

"Me too, dude." Scott said in his deep sexy voice. "Whatever happens with the job or my living situation… I'm sure it'll work out."

"Y-yeah." Josh stuttered, not really sure what would happen. But it wouldn't matter since he wouldn't be around to see it anyway. Josh watched as Scott lowered his hand, extending out a single finger out for Josh to climb on. Swallowing his fear, Josh climbed up onto the massive finger as Scott started to bring him up to his face once again.

"Okay, dude. Let's do this." Scott smiled at Josh, feeling excited. Scott stuck his finger into his mouth, leaning back and putting his other hand on his chest as he swished Josh around and savored the taste once again. This time it was purely just Josh, no peanut butter as Scott got the full flavor. Scott shut his eyes and moved Josh to the back of his mouth, swallowing the tiniest speck down.

"Wow." Scott simply said in amazement. It was unreal that he really went through with it. Scott stood up, putting a hand on his chest and wondering if he could feel the tiny man deep within his body. "Nope nothing…"

It wasn't a surprise. It was just like Tyler said, you don't really think about for feel food after you eat it. Considering how Scott knew Josh was staying down this time, food is really all he is to his hungry belly. Scott felt a little pressure in his stomach as he tapped his chest, giving a respectably loud burp.

"Whew, dang." Scott patted his chest a little more, surprised at the volume of his burp. He could get a little taste in his mouth, aside from the peanut butter he did get the faintest taste of Josh. Scott licked his lips. "He really was delicious."

- - -

Scott's stomach rumbled and churned violently as the massive belch from above shook the chamber. Josh couldn't believe his day. He went from helping a new employee who broke up with his girl friend, to being eaten by his best friend and new employee, to deciding he wanted nothing more than to be a part of the massive teen he had hired.

"It's fine though." Josh said to him self as he floated on a partially chewed hunk of apple. He could already feel the twinges of pain from Scott's stomach acid, but it didn't matter to him. Scott's stomach really was amazing. The sheer size made him feel like he was in another world. It was incredible that such a world existed inside the sexy giant stud.

"Hopefully everything works out for Scott…" Josh said to himself. "Guess I'll be along for the ride… in a manner of speaking."

Josh chuckled to himself. He really was a pathetic amount of protein in the grand size of Scott's stomach. The massive organ churned and contracted, groaning as it easily turned the mixture in Scott's stomach. It wasn't long before Josh was torn under the surface as Scott's stomach bubbled and groaned. A few seconds went by as nothing resurfaced, Scott's stomach easily taking care of whatever food was inside of it.

- - -

"Yo Tyler." Scott was on the phone with Tyler, completely unaware Josh had just met his demise. "You know how you said you'd be okay if I digested Josh?"

"Ahhh little guy went through with it huh?" Tyler responded, as if he expected as much.

"Yeahhh he straight up asked me to do it." Scott rubbed the back of his head, feeling slightly bad.

"It's cool, bro." Tyler answered reassuringly. "Like I said, if it's what he wanted. I respect it."

"Thanks dude. I'm so glad you're not mad." Scott sighed with relief. "I mean… I guess I only had you guys as friends… but now I just got you dude."

"I get it, I'm down one friend now too, bro." Tyler chuckled, a little sad. "But he went out doing what he loved. So it's all good."

"Yeah dude. That makes me feel better." Scott smiled.

"Yo dude, do me a favor?" Tyler asked Scott.

"Uh sure, what's up bro?" Scott asked confused.

"Put the phone up against your stomach." Tyler commanded.

"I gotchu, dude." Scott understood as he brought the phone up against his abs. Tyler was loud enough for him to hear as he shouted though the phone.

"Dude you little bitch! What's Scott got that I don't?! Oh yeah?! Well screw you dude! Enjoy your new home!" Tyler yelled before going silent for a moment. Scott brought the phone back up to his ear.

"You good dude?" Scott asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah had to get that off my chest." Tyler sighed, hoping Josh had heard him. "He better have heard me!"

"Maybe dude? Who knows?" Scott rubbed his stomach. "I mean you ever really think about what goes on in your stomach after you eat food?"

"Nah dude. Who cares?" Tyler laughed, realizing Scott was referring to Josh as just food.

Josh looked up at Scott’s handsome face and told the truth, “it was so scary Scott, I really thought I was a goner down there, it seemed like I was in there for ages even though I wasn’t”

Scott tried to hide the little bit of disappointment in his face “aw sorry little dude!” If I’d known it would shake you up so bad I would never have gone along with it! But if I didn’t agree to Tyler’s demands he said he was gonna keep you down in his stomach, so I guess I had no choice.”

Josh hadn’t thought about that and was instantly thankful to Scott for going through with it. “I’m glad you did Scott, otherwise I would’ve still been sloshing around in Tyler’s stomach right now, probably half digested!”

“Your stomach though Scott, it was…. different, it seemed even more eager to digest me than Tyler’s did, I doubt I would’ve lasted even a few minutes more if you hadn’t brought me back up!”

Scott felt a strange sense of pride in what Josh had just said “maybe it’s my metabolism little dude! I’m a growing guy who needs his protein, so no wonder my stomach tried to digest you so quickly!”

Scott really did wish the little guy was still in there, stewing away, after all that’s what giants are meant to do right? But he knew he couldn’t do that to Josh, especially not after what Josh had just said and how scared he was.

“Do you mind if I go to bed now Scott? All this adventuring into stomachs has got me tired”

No probs little guy, you can sleep in my room with me! We can keep each other company!”

“Sounds good” Josh replied as Scott picked the little man up and took him into the bedroom, placing him carefully on the pillow.

Scott’s stomach gave a loud gurgle, startling Josh, “I’m still hungry dude, so I’m gonna make a sandwich with whatever you’ve got left in your fridge if that’s ok? Don’t worry, I won’t add you to it!” Scott said with a laugh, even though deep down he thought that would be a great idea…..

Scott made his way into the kitchen to prepare his sandwich, he managed to find some cold meat and salad leaves from the fridge, “not much, but it’ll do for now I guess” he said to himself as he made his way back to the bedroom.

Josh had already fallen asleep after the trials of the day, so Scott very carefully sat down on the bed next to him so as not to wake him. As he sat down he got a text from Tyler, who had obviously made it back home.

“Yo dude, s’up! It take it Josh is being turned into mush in your guts as we speak?”

“Nope, he’s right here next to me dude, fast asleep” replied Scott, sending him a picture to prove it.

“No way, what happened dude?”

“Said he was terrified, he thought I was going to digest him for real, so I couldn’t exactly swallow him again after he said that could I?”

“Dude you wimp! I bet he isn’t telling the truth, the amount of times he’s nearly been eaten by me, I think you need to finish what we started!”

“Tyler, I don’t think I can, I can’t do that to him surely? He doesn’t deserve to be turned into my shit” Scott replied

“Think of it as the fitting final tribute to him dude, I mean, what a ride he would have becoming part of you! But do what you want dude, if I see him tomorrow we’ll just have to think of other ways to humiliate him! Or maybe I’ll send him back down into my guts permanently”

Scott didn’t reply to the last text, instead looking at his sandwich and looking down at Josh, sleeping peacefully.

“I guess if I put you in the sandwich you’d be part of my food little guy, and food only goes in one way and out the other, you’d get to be turned into Scotty shit” he said with a smile.

Another wicked idea crossed his mind, he was a giant, he could do whatever he wanted to Josh “Or maybe I’ll let you spend the night in my butthole, I’ll try not to Dutch oven you too bad!” He laughed as a fart slipped out, right on cue.

After some serious thought, Scott decided……

"I thought it was… interesting." Josh said, not wanting to make it seem like he liked it too much.

"How so? I'm curious dude." Scott leaned in, like a curious child.

"Well… I mean it's crazy to be a human my size going inside another human, like you. Don't you think?" Josh asked, staring into Scott's handsome eyes.

"Sounds like something out of a movie. Or a video game." Scott tilted his head, never really giving it any thought. "Didn't really answer my actual question though, dude!"

"Oh yeah true. I guess yes, and no is the best answer I can give you?" Josh tried to beat around the bush a little. "Like yes, in the sense that it's an interesting experience no other human has gotten to have, but no in the sense that I don't want to die."

"Oh yeah I get that dude." Scott smiled, glad he didn't decide for him or Tyler to just digest him without a second thought. "Oh man good thing I asked, dude."

"Okay, what do you mean by that?" Josh asked, a little nervously.

"Well Tyler and I weren't sure earlier, dude. He got the feeling you would want him to digest you." Scott laughed, thinking it's funny in hindsight. "Dude, I almost didn't wanna throw you up with how willingly you let me swallow you."

Josh shivered, realizing how close he was to dying, not once but twice today. Scott laughter made it all the more apparent to Josh how little either giants must've thought things through.

"Ha..ha wow yeah that would've been a crazy misunderstanding!" Josh laughed awkwardly, sweating as he thought about what could have been, like it or not.

"Yeah dude, you were almost extra fuel for the guns!" Scott did a double bicep flex in front of Josh. Josh blushed as he watched Scott relax his arms and lean back in his chair. "Not the worst way to go, right?"

"I'm sure I could think of worse ways!" Josh smiled nervously and shook a little. "Better than getting stepped on or sat on or something…"

"Oh man or like drowning in little cup of water? Or what if you couldn't breath in that peanut butter earlier!" Scott started to imagine the dangers Josh must face from his perspective. "Dude, what if Tyler or I dropped you? That must be like a million miles to the ground for you!"

"Ha… yeah it's always pretty scary being up in a high spot…" Josh demised over ideas of ways for him to die. Josh looked at Scott though, it was nice seeing him smile after what happened to him just earlier today. To Josh, it was worth the conversation if it meant getting the handsome titan to forget about his ex.

"Dude, yeah those would all be super shitty ways to go. At least if something ate you, you'd be part of the food chain or whatever." Scott continued to think aloud. "It'd probably suck getting eaten by a bird or a bug or something though."

"Yeah I'd much rather if it was like you or Tyler…" Josh said honestly before biting his tongue. "I mean! Like if it had to be anyone, you know?"

Scott chuckled. "It's cool, dude. I would rather him or I got to do the honors than some dumb bird or something."

"Yeah that's what I mean!" Josh stuttered feeling like it was a good save. "But yeah, we won't have to worry about that unless it's an accident."

"Yeahhhh…" Scott crossed his arms a little disappointed. "Sorry dude, Tyler just had me all hyped up is all. He got me thinking like, what if Josh is on board with the idea? But yeah dude, it's your life we're talking about. So I get it."

"I…I wouldn't be against another trip in there though." Josh wanted to admit, but not wanting to throw his life away. "But you'd have to let me out."

"I think I can arrange that, bro." Scott smiled and flexed his abs a little. "Maybe you'll find it more interesting this time…"

Josh watched as Scott stood up. It was like seeing a human shaped building suddenly grow even taller. Josh was in awe, Scott may as well look like a massive god compared to him. Josh watched as Scott started to reach down for him.

"Wait?! Now?!" Josh yelled, unsure if Scott could even hear him all the way up there. Scott seemed very eager now that he's had a taste for Josh as he pinched the little man between his fingers and started to raise him up high. Josh tried waving at Scott as he brought him up to his face.

"Scott! Waaaait!" Josh yelled out dramatically.

"Uh, what's up?" Scott asked calmly as he held Josh in front of his face.

"Oh. Sorry I thought you were going to just eat me." Josh dangled as he looked into Scott's massive blue eyes.

"I was, but then I saw you start freaking out, dude." Scott rose an eyebrow. "I guess I don't have to do it now."

"Sorry I just wasn't prepared." Josh started sweating as he dangled what felt like hundreds of miles from the ground.

"Nah it's all good dude. I could always just have you for breakfast?" Scott asked, being very casual about asking to eat Josh for breakfast.

"Uhhh…" Josh felt Scott's breath wash over him as he spoke. Part of him really wanted to go for another trip into Scott's stomach, but the way Scott was talking made him seem a little nervous. Josh thought about it for a second as Scott waited for an answer…

"Let's do it now! I mean if that's okay with you… you seemed ready to do it anyway?" Josh blushed, trying not to act too excited about being eaten by the massive jock once again. Scott merely smiled, noticing Josh seemed excited as was more than happy to comply.

"I'm not leaving you in there though, okay?" Scott reassured Josh, remembering what they had just talked about. Though Scott still had this slight desire to actually digest the little man like a little protein supplement. Knowing that choice wasn't up to him though, Scott figured he'd give the little guy a bit of a show first. Scott lowered down to his abdomen, flexing his abs as he looked down at the little man, looming over him.

"U-um what's up?" Josh stuttered, looking up at Scott's massive abs, all the way up to his mountainous pecs and smirking face which seemed miles away. Josh blushed even harder as Scott bounced his pecs up and down a little.

"Just giving you a good look of the outside first, bro." Scott said confidently, having seen how Josh stared at his abs just a few minutes ago. Scott looked at Josh, holding him close to his abs and seeing just how insignificantly he was in comparison to his muscles. "Wow bro, my abs must look huge."

"T-they do! They're like the size of houses!" Josh looked at the muscles, astonished by their size and definition.

"Houses, bro? Dude my whole stomach must be like… a mansion or something." Scott thought for a second, not sure how to make the comparison.

"Ha, well you could probably fit the whole waterpark in your stomach!" Josh nervously laughed a bit, sweating a little at even the thought. Josh jumped a little as Scott ran a hand up and down his stomach.

"Dude, I'd be one hell of a waterslide." Scott chuckled a little, finding the idea to be pretty hilarious. Scott brought Josh back up to his face, getting a little impatient now himself. Opening his mouth, Scott continued to mesmerize Josh as his breath washed over him. Despite not seeming them, Scott could feel Josh's eyes staring deep into his mouth. Scott lifted Josh a little higher, tilting his head back and electing to drop the tiny man into his mouth. Scott could free Josh drop in, sliding down his tongue, much like a waterslide. Scott closed his mouth, smirking a little as Josh slipped into the back of his throat, giving a small gulp as he continued Josh's ride now even further into him. Resting a hand on his chest, Scott could just barely feel Josh going down. Sitting down, he waited a few seconds before Josh's movements completely disappeared.

"Wow that's so crazy dude." Scott now rested his hand on his abs, still pretty astonished at how feebly small Josh was. Just the simple fact that Scott felt nothing now, made it all the more obvious to the massive jock that he'd never know Josh was in his stomach if he happened to eat the little guy by mistake.

- - -

Landing now once again in the familiar cavern of Scott's stomach, Josh wiped a little saliva or mucus off his face as his eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness. Josh was simply mesmerized by the sounds of the gurgles and sloshes of the teen's stomach. The sound of his giant powerful heart pumping far above him, and even the subtle sounds of Scott's breaths. Josh couldn't stop thinking about how Scott told him how both Tyler and him had momentary thoughts about just leaving him down here.

"Definitely not the worst way I could go…" Josh said to himself, almost relaxed by the warm bubbly groans of Scott's body. The more time he spent in there, the more Josh loved being completely surrounded by Scott. Josh was so comfortable, he felt like he could just fall asleep. His bliss was suddenly cut short however, as Scott's stomach started to lurch and churn. Screaming as he was tossed around and forced upward. Holding breath for a few moments before shaking his head in confusion Josh looked around seeing the light of the outside once again.

"What happened?" Josh looked around, eyes readjusting to light as he looked around. Josh focused as he saw Scott's huge hand scooping him up before being washed off in the cold tap of the sink. Josh shivered, immediately missing the warmth of inside of Scott. Josh looked up at the giant as he carried him back over the the table, leaning back and holding Josh up toward his chest.

"Have fun in there, buddy?" Scott asked Josh, seeing him move but not hearing him speak. He was slightly worried Josh wasn't completely conscious.

"I did, I felt like you didn't keep me down for very long though." Josh voiced his disappointment he couldn't stay down for longer.

"Bro, you were in there for almost 20 minutes!" Scott laughed and looked down at his phone. "Any longer and you'd probably be Josh stew, dude."

"It was that long? Wow it felt like less than a minute!" Josh felt bewildered. Now looking at his arms and legs, he did notice they looked pretty red. Touching them they actually hurt slightly to the touch. Josh swallowed a little, in disbelief that he was so content just moments ago as Scott's stomach was just as content with dissolving him.

"Time flies when you're having fun, huh dude?" Scott chuckled, not noticing Josh checking the condition of his skin. "I could keep you in longer next time, if you wanted?"

"Um…" Josh looked at his arms and legs. He wasn't sure what to say. Part of him wanted to stay in longer… but he knew if he did he may as well just stay there. Josh felt a little bad, wondering how bad Scott would actually feel about digesting him.

"Any longer and I think that'd be it for me." Josh said, not wanting to worry Scott too much, but having ideas in the back of his head.

"Oh dude, that'd suck." Scott answered with a bit of remorse, but also starting to scheme.

Unbeknownst to the other…

"M-maybe we should wait till breakfast?" Josh smiled nervously, feeling like he could use a break from this whole deal at least for a night. Scott dropped Josh into his free palm, bringing him down just above chest level.

"Sounds good, dude!" Scott smiled excitedly. "Maybe we should get to bed soon then, huh?"

"Yeah that's a good idea! It is getting pretty late." Josh wiped his brow, a little relieved he didn't need to be eaten again right away. Scott started to walk upstairs, bringing Josh into the spare room he was now letting Scott use.

"You wanna sleep in here with me? I'd feel better knowing you're not alone when you're so small." Scott smiled as he looked down at Josh in the palm of his hand.

"That's fine with me!" Josh called up to the giant. Scott brought Josh over to the night stand, setting him down as Scott left the room to head to the bathroom. Waiting a minute, Josh saw Scott return now only wearing a pair of compression shorts having discarded his swim trunks as he yawned and headed over to sit on the bed. Blushing, Josh looked at Scott now as he barely wore anything, not like he was wearing much more before. Scott laid down on bed, turning at looking at Josh, noticing the tiny man was watching him. Scott smirked as he laid on his back, reaching over and grabbing Josh.

"Come'ere dude." Scott chuckled as he scooped Josh up with ease before depositing the tiny man on his abs. "Ha, dude you're so little I can barely see you on my abs."

Josh tried his best to keep his footing as Scott set him down. It was absolutely insane the size of Scott's body compared to him. A single one of Scott's abs looked like it could be the size of soccer field for the tiny man.

"God no wonder on the inside he just seemed like this massive abyss…" Josh said to himself, recalling his previous journey inside Scott. Scott stomach gave a slight gurgle as Josh listened to his body on the other side of the muscle. "Wow that's incredible…"

Scott watched Josh for a bit. He didn't seem to move from the spot he put him. "Dude, you can feel free to explore. I'm keeping an eye on you."

Scott's voice shook the man's body a little as Josh decided it was probably fine to explore. It was wild to Josh that the sounds inside Scott's body were probably too small and quiet for the giant to even notice, but to him it was loud and clear as day. Either way, Josh made his way across the ab, sliding off the side and into the ridges. Looking around, Josh made his way between the valley of Scott's abs before coming across a massive crater in Scott's body.

"Wow, must be his belly button." Josh looked into the crater impressed with the sheer size. "I could swim in this if it was full of water."

Scott's body shifted slightly as Josh lost his footing and fell right down into Scott's belly button.

"Ha! Dude! I saw that!" Scot chuckled as he clearly saw Josh tumble right into his belly button. "I think I can barely feel you in there! Kinda tickles."

Josh brushed himself off. It wasn't as deep as he had thought, but he'd have a little bit of an issue jumping up to pull himself up.

"Hey, why don't you bunker down in there?" Scott's voiced called down to Josh. "I won't move much in my sleep!"

Josh sat down. There wasn't much of a choice really. It wasn't like this was the first time he's slept on someone anyway. Laying his head down, Josh listened to the noises inside Scott once more. Clearly his intestines were very busy absorbing nutrients and moving Scott's food through the rest of his body.

"It's actually quite calming…" Josh said as he closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.

- - -

The next morning, Josh woke to the sound of a massive rumble. Panicking, Josh momentarily forgot where he was before snapping out of it.

"Jesus… what a wake up call…" Josh mulled, still half asleep. "Guess he's hungry."

Josh laid back, waiting as Scott started to stir awake. Josh's view changed as Scott sat up. Josh could hear Scott yawn and stretch for a moment. "Oh yeah…"

Josh heard the confirmation followed by a finger down by the entrance of the belly button. Josh got on the finger as Scott pulled him out and brought him up to his face.

"Moooooorning, duuuude!" Scott smiled, belting out the greeting over Josh's whole body. "Bet you'd think I'd forget about you, huh?"

"What? No not at all!" Josh shook his head. "How'd you sleep?"

"Great, dude." Scott yawned, opening his mouth wide as Josh looked inside seeing everything from the giant's massive tongue to the back when his uvula hung invitingly. "How about you?"

"I slept fine, your stomach woke me up though!" Josh joked, realizing it must've been way louder for him than Scott.

"Shit dude, it's telling you to wake up for breakfast!" Scott chuckled as he he got up out of bed and scratched his arm pit as he walked out of the room and down the stairs. Scott made his way to the dining room table and set Josh down. "Sit tight dude, I'll grab some food."

Josh hung out as Scott sleepily walked into the kitchen. He couldn't help but stare at Scott's massive ass, it being all the more impressive when the giant didn't have it partially covered with his shorts. The tight compression shorts left little to the imagination as each glute bounced up and down as Scott walked away.

"Woah…" Josh was transfixed in thought as he lost sight of Scott. Trying to shake his feelings, Josh heard the sounds of cabinets opening and closing and eventually the sounds of cooking. "I wonder what he's making…"

A few minutes went by as Scott reentered the room holding a plate of pancakes. Scott set the plate down next to Josh and sat down at the table.

"What do you think dude?" Scott smiled as he stuck a fork into them. They were covered in maple syrup and butter and the smell was absolutely intoxicating to Josh's tiny nose.

"It looks amazing! Do I get to have some?" Josh asked, feeling a little hungry.

"Of course dude!" Scott beamed as he pinched Josh between his fingers, quickly bringing him up to the top and dropping him into a puddle of syrup on the top. Josh splashed in the thick sticky liquid. It was like the peanut butter, but he felt like he could actually move through it at all, rather than being completely stuck like before. Josh looked up at Scott who was chuckling at Josh.

"Don't worry dude! I'll eat around you! You can go on your trip after I digest my breakfast a bit!" Scott smiled as he grabbed his fork and shoved it into the pancakes and shoveled it into his mouth. Scott swallowed the mouthful as he saw Josh stream down the side of the tower. Scott laughed as he choked a little on the food. "Oh forgot a drink, be right back, dude!"

Scott got up and made his way back into the kitchen as he looked in the fridge, finding himself a bottle of milk. Grabbing a cup and pouring himself some, Scott chugged a little with a deep sigh. "Ah that's better!" Scott said to himself as he refilled the glass and started to think to himself. "It'll be cool to eat him again in a bit… it's too bad he doesn't wanna be digested though…"

Scott took another swig of milk as he continued to think. "Not unless it was an accident, of course." Scott stopped mid sip as the thought crossed his mind. "Huh… it would be pretty easy to have an accident like this though…"

Looking back at the door to the dining room, Scott thought more for a moment. Grabbing his glass Scott was starting to think that…

"I mean he's so small, how could I not lose track of him?" Scott rationalized in his head as he walked back out to the table and set down his glass of milk. Scott looked down at the pile of pancakes, honestly not able to spot Josh right away at a quick glance.

"Dude, where'd you go?" Scott said to the pancakes, truly not sure where the little guy was. Scott sat back down before he spotted Josh out of the corner of his eye, struggling in a syrupy mess just off to the side of the pancake. Scott pretended not to notice as he grabbed his fork. "Alright, dude. Well I'll just be careful as I eat, okay?"

Scott dug his fork into the pancakes, eating normally for a few bites as he would occasionally dip his pancake into the syrup on the side near Josh. Glancing down every now and then, Scott would notice that he didn't accidentally scoop Josh up yet. Cutting off a bit of pancake, Scott drove his fork through it as he talked down again.

"Okay dude, last bite then I'm gonna go get changed and stuff. Hopefully that give you a chance to get out, bro?" Scott delivered the line, then lowered his bite of pancake down, scooping it into the syrup and clearly seeing Josh get stuck to the morsel. Trying not to look, Scoot shoved the food in his mouth. Carefully breaking the food up without much use of his teeth, Scoot looked down at the spot where Josh was, seeing he truly wasn't there. Scott swallowed, gasping a little bit as he realized he had gone through with it.

"Alright dude, I'll come find you later." Scott said aloud, wondering if Josh could hear him from inside of him. Setting the fork down, Scott stood up and grabbed his glass of milk and chugged the rest of it. Wiping his mouth and setting the glass down, Scott walked away from the table, knowing that chugging that milk definitely sealed the deal. Trying not to make a big deal out of it, Scott turned away from the food and started to make his way up the stairs. Scott's stomach shifting as he went up the the stairs, he simply let out a loud wet burp as he reached the top.

"Hmm, tasted good…" Scott said to himself as he turned into his bedroom, finding his bag and grabbing a pair of clothes. Getting changed as he promised, Scott put on a pair of loose white and red basketball shorts and grey stringer cut tank top. Finally he grabbed one of his hats, putting it on backwards as he walked into the bathroom to check himself out. Scott flexed in the mirror before resting a hand on his stomach.

"I wonder how he's doing in there. Probably still kicking, I hope…" Scott said quietly to himself, worried Josh would somehow hear him. He didn't actually want to think too hard about what he was doing, however as he made his way out of the bathroom and tried to put whatever was going on inside his stomach out of his mind.

- - -

"Scooooootttt!" Josh cried out from the murky depths of the giant's stomach. It was a sludgy syrupy pancake mess Josh was easily being sloshed about in the breakfast with nothing he could hope to hold on to or save him from being part of the slowly digested pool of food. If it wasn't for the torrent of milk, Josh could only imagine that Scott's stomach acid would already quickly eaten away at him. The giant's movements only served to Josh's detriment as he was tossed and churned about in the mess.

"This is all my faaaaault!" Josh screamed as he was mixed around with the food. If only he had gotten out of the syrup or tried to make himself more noticeable. Josh wept as he heard another loud rumble from above, another earth shattering burp. "He even tried to warn me…"

The mounds of mush were too much as Josh couldn't fight for even another moment. The next churn would be Josh's last as he was pulled under the mounds of food and refused to pull himself to breathable air. This was it, Josh decided he'd give in and just become part of Scott.

- - -

Chilling for a few minutes, Scott was surprised to hear the sound of the door bell. Confused, he went to the front door and peeked through the window to see Tyler. Swallowing nervously, Scott opened the door.

"Yooooo morning dude!" Tyler smiled as he let himself in and fist bumped Scott.

"Yo dude, wan't expecting you here this morning?" Scott sweat a little.

"Just figured I'd drop by and check on you guys. Where's the little squirt?" Tyler asked, looking around a little.

"Uh well…" Scott fidgeted for words a little. He hadn't planned this out at all.

"Oh boy, let me guess. He caved didn't he?" Tyler put it simply as he shook his head knowingly.

"Yeah…" Scott said as he put a hand on his stomach before quickly thinking about it. "Yeah, he was kinda part of my breakfast."

"Eh fitting really." Tyler shrugged. "Don't feel too bad about it, dude. It's what he wanted."

"I guess so." Scott started to feel a little worse knowing that wasn't exactly the whole truth. Suddenly, Scott gave another hearty burp.

"Nice dude!" Tyler laughed as he came over and slapped Scott on the back. "Bet he was even more delicious for real, huh?"

"Ha, yeah dude. You know it!" Scott smiled, feeling like he was getting over his decision after seeing how cool Tyler was with it.

"You shouldn't beat around the bush with him." Scott said softly to himself. "Just be straight up."

Scott nodded to himself, feeling confident that he shouldn't be fake or try to trick the little guy. He was honest and up front with him, he should give him the same respect. Making his way back into the dining room, Scott looked down at the plate of food, just barely recognizing where he stuck Josh in it all.

"Have a few bites yet, dude?" Scott sat down, setting down his glass of milk and looking at Josh with a smile.

"Yeah a few! The syrup is a little thick though." Josh looked up at Scott, admiring the muscular titan as he grabbed a bite of the pancake. "Kinda like that peanut butter!"

"Mm and you're covered in it, dude!" Scott licked his lips a little. "Bet you'd be tasty!"

"Ha yeah real funny." Josh chuckled, knowing he planned on going on trip later into Scott's gut after he digests his breakfast. "Don't get ahead of yourself!"

"I know dude…" Scott poked the fork into the side of the pancakes, deliberately eating around Josh. "Hey give any more thought into that though, buddy?"

"What do you mean?" Josh asked, body dripping in the syrup as he tried to eat.

"Just like how you thought being eaten was interesting?" Scott casually tried to drive the conversation as he shoved more food in his mouth.

"Oh. Well yeah, about the same. It's interesting, kinda thrilling, right?" Josh was unaware of Scott's deeper feelings. "Don't worry I can wait until after you digest some of your meal though. So that way you don't throw it all up."

"Yeah about that dude." Scott took another big bite. "What if I just didn't throw you up though?"

"Um." Josh blushed a little. It wasn't like it didn't cross his mind. "I wouldn't make it, you know?"

"Yeah but…" Scott bit his lip a little. "You'd get to go to my muscles, dude. That's be sweet right?"

"I well…" Josh blushed, staring at Scott's handsome face to his ripped chest in front of him.

"I've been thinking about it dude." Scott decided it was time to bust out his honest feelings. "And I wanna be straight up with you bud, I want you to be part of my muscles."

"I-I…" Josh stuttered, not sure how to take Scott's words right now.

"I can't really explain it, dude. Like I know you helped me out with my break up and gave me this place to stay…" Scott blushed, setting down his fork. "It's hardly repaying your kindness. But I take really good care of my body, and that's why I want you to be a part of it."

"Scott I…" Josh was blushing like crazy. He really didn't know what to say to the attractive giant.

"Look dude, it's cool if you reject me." Scott rubbed the back of his head feeling really stupid now. "I just wanted to put my feelings out there, set expectations you know? Because I don't think I could send you on any temporary trips into my gut without wanting to just leave you in there."

"Well I'm glad you were honest." Josh finally got some words out.

"It's literally the least I could do, dude." Scott answered, embarrassed.

"Well…" Josh started to say. "I think…"

Josh rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. He couldn’t even look Scott in the eye as he tried to let him down easy.

“I think we should just move past this.” Josh lied, both to himself and Scott. A large part of him really did genuinely want to be inside of Scott forever, but the rational part of his brain was fighting hard against his more base desires. Josh continued to explain to Scott that “Y-You’re a great guy, really. I just think you’re, uh…not thinking hard enough about this. You know?”

Scott blinked, a little surprised that Josh said that. “Not…thinking hard enough?” Scott said, genuinely trying to understand. “Do you, like, think i’m being stupid or something?” The giant asked, though he sounded a little hurt. Josh picked up on this, felt bad, and tried to do damage control.

“No! Of course not. We just all have our, uh, temporary moments of…uh…yeah.”

“What?” Scott asked again, his brow furrowing. Josh felt himself tripping over his words. Not only because Scott’s presence was so daunting while being on the giant’s plate, but also because the tiny genuinely didn’t know how to explain this without sounding like an asshole.

“Look, Scott. I–”

But Scott interrupted him.

“Do you think I’m an idiot? Cause everyone’s always told me that–”

And Josh tried to push back.

“No! No, Scott. I-I don’t think you’re…”

Scott waited for Josh to say it. But Josh couldn’t honestly say what Scott wanted to hear.

“…yeah, no. You’re not.” The tiny finished.

This confirmed to Scott that Josh wasn’t being fully truthful. His words felt very familiar in a very hurtful way.

“So…do you think I’m smart, then?” The himbo frowned.

There was a pause before Josh answered. The tiny man dodged yet again.

“…I didn’t hire you for your intelligence, Scott. I chose you because you’re such a sweet guy. Really! That matters a lot more to me.” Josh finished as he tried to give Scott a reassuring smile.

Josh’s words landed on Scott, who then looked away. Josh was confused. He couldn’t tell what was up with Scott. But Scott deeply knew. All of Josh’s words bounced around the giant’s thick skull. “You’re not thinking hard enough about this.” “We all have our moments.” “I chose you because you’re sweet.” All of these things Josh was saying…they were things he had been hearing his whole life about his smarts…

They were things his Bri had confronted him with before they broke up.

Scott stared down at the tiny man. Bottled up pain welled in his big heart as the gears in his thick head started to turn in ways they didn’t, usually. Josh thought he was stupid. Bri thought he was stupid. Everyone on the planet just saw him as one big idiot. And the way Josh was sitting on Scott’s pancake, so comfortably…so safely. It was almost…arrogant. It disgusted him a little. Just because Josh was more smarter than him, it didn't make him better. What gave Josh the right to sit on top of that pancake like a topping, yet deny Scott the right to eat him? He was smart enough to know that getting eaten is what food is for! How was someone smaller than his fingernail going to tell HIM no? How was that fair? How was any of what happened to Scott recently fair?

“Uh…Scott?” Josh tried to check in.

The dumb teen then started to feel powerless, too. He had absolutely no say over his break up, over where he was gonna live, even over something as dumb as this pancake he couldn’t eat because Josh’s stupid tiny body was sitting on it. Sure, he wasn't the brightest, but Scott was a great athlete, a good person most of the time, and almost 7 feet tall! He didn’t deserve to feel so helpless in life. To have no control or power over ANYTHING anymore. Nothing!

“Scott?” Josh asked one more time.

The titan finally looked back at Josh. But his head turned slowly. Almost…robotically. Josh immediately felt the shift in Scott’s presence. It wasn’t nearly as warm and wholesome.

Scott seemed…mad.

And Josh’s assumption was right. He watched as Scott grabbed his fork once again. From Josh’s position, sitting on top of the last piece of Scott’s pancake, the utensil looked like the mighty trident a Greek god would to smite his enemies.

“Uhm??? Scott???” Josh said as he stood up in fear. But he would stay standing for long. The fork skewered into the land of pancake beneath the tiny man. Josh fell on his back and the sticky syrup held him there so that he had no choice but to stare up at the angry titanic teenager. The metal of the fork nearly sliced directly through the tiny man. Something told Josh that Scott wouldn’t have cared if he HAD turned Josh into a kebab. The ground beneath Josh shook as the pancake was raised into the air and brought in front of Scott’s awaiting maw. Josh screamed when he saw Scott open his mouth, bits of pancake coating his beastly tongue and lethal teeth. Josh stared into the abyss that was the back of Scott’s throat.

“SCOTT! NO, PLEASE! W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING??” Josh begged for his life, unable to move. Any inkling of actually wanting this was gone. Josh was terrified by Scott’s new demeanor.

The giant simply smirked, glad he had some control again. Besides, it’s not like Josh didn’t want this. As the giant opened his mouth to speak, his morning breath washed over the tiny.

“I’m just eating breakfast.” he chuckled, then plunged the last of his pancake into his mouth.

"I-I appreciate everything, dudes." Scott smiled. "I don't think I've ever met a couple of guys as awesome as you, but I think I need a little time to myself."

"Okay." Josh said plainly, glad just to see Scott was willing to address his emotions. "Were both here though. Just let us know."

"I will, dudes." Scott stood up and smiled. "I think I've gotta set up a bit and unpack anyway. I'll yell if I need anything, okay?"

"Good luck, buddy. We'll be here!" Tyler smiled and patted the huge man on the butt as he walked by. Josh and Tyler watched as Scott chuckled a little as he made his way up the stairs, toward his room. Tyler looked down at Josh as they heard Scott shut his door. "Man I feel bad."

"Same." Josh crossed his arms. "I wonder what could have happened. He spoke so highly about his girl friend. I would have never guessed there was trouble at home."

"Classic nice guy was too nice deal I'd guess." Tyler scratched his chin. "He said he gave her everything. It probably made her bored. Girls are fickle like that."

"Geez you sound like an expert!" Josh teased Tyler as the muscular man blushed a little.

"Well! I mean… there's a reason why I haven't bothered dating since high school." Tyler waved a hand at Josh. "Girls are nuts dude. Not worth the effort."

"Yeah, I agree!" Josh gave a short answer as Tyler rose an eyebrow.

"When was the last time you had a girlfriend?" Tyler asked, having know Josh since the last stretch of college but never having him mention a girlfriend.

"I um…" Josh felt like he couldn't lie to Tyler. "Well I always get rejected. Never even went on a date. Then I got wrapped up in my research like you saw."

"That's too bad. Why would any girl turn down a cute guy like you?" Tyler smirked as he leaned back, making Josh blush this time. "Maybe Scott will ask you out once he learns how crazy girls are."

"Oh? Like how you realized how crazy girls are?" Josh retorted slyly to Tyler who peered down at Josh before leaning over him and blowing a gust of air at him, causing him to topple over.

"Wonder how Scott's doing?" Tyler not to adeptly changed the subject as he heard the huge man settle down upstairs, seeming like he was done moving things around.

"Go check on him?" Josh offered as a solution as he regained his balance.

"I've got a better idea!" Tyler smirked as he reached down and plucked Josh off the table and held him in his hand. "Well just have you do a little recon work! That way if he seems like he needs the space you can just back out without us bugging him!"

"I-I guess that's a good idea." Josh agreed as he was suddenly scooped up against his will. Tyler stood up as he held Josh close to his abdomen before as the huge man not so stealthily crept up the stairs going just outside Scott's room and setting Josh on the ground. Tyler gave Josh a thumbs up as he crept away back to the stairs, trying not to make it look like he was hanging around outside the room for long. Josh on the other hand, took a deep breath as he made his way under the crack in the door and into Scott's room.

Josh looked around. There was already some amount of clothes on the ground, possibly clean, possibly dirty. A few boxes still had some of Scott's stuff peeking out of it as they were pressed up against the wall. Josh looked up as it wasn't hard to locate Scott. As Josh saw him up on the bed, seemingly he was…

Even though Josh couldn't see all of Scott, he could tell the massive teen was laying down. He wasn't sure if he was sleeping or just laying though. Josh looked behind him, remembering that Tyler had abandoned him anyway, so it was probably at least worth investigating in case Scott was depressed laying face first in the bed. Josh quickly made his way across the floor looking for some way up to the bed. A sheet hung down to the floor as Josh could see Scott's foot hanging near it. Josh figured if he could at least scale the sheet and make it to Scott's foot, He could find a way up and into the bed. Following though with his plan, Josh could only suspect that it was his compassion for the young man that gave him the strength to make it to his foot.

"Oh my god!" Josh wished his could cover his nose as he reached Scott's foot, trying to make his way to the hair on his ankle and up the leg. Relieved, Josh found himself on the back of his muscular tree trunk like legs as he stared across the landscape of Scott on the bed. He had changed out of his board shorts, wearing just his black spandex under armor underwear as it wrapped tightly around his magnificent butt as the man laid there, face in a pillow. "I still can't really tell if he's asleep…"

Josh wished there was some way he could help the grieving young man, but for now he figured the only thing he could do was work his way up toward his face. But first there was a big obstacle as Josh soon found at the end of his leg, Scott's enormous bubble butt. Josh bit his lip as he decided the only sensible action was to make his way between his ass crack rather than trying to scale one of the massive cheeks. As Josh trecked his way between the foul smelling sweaty valley unbeknownst to Josh, Scott was…

Not that Josh knew, but Scott had no intent of moving at the moment, which made his trek between his ass cheeks go on without any trouble side from the foul smell and mixture of sweat. Making his way to the waist band, Josh looked across Scott's back, happy to see it was just one muscular back between him and Scott's face. Josh didn't waste any time as he made his way across the massive long back. Sweating from a mix of his own sweat as well as just the sweat of Scott's back Josh finally made it to Scott's neck, before he realized the colossal teen was facing to the left slightly on his pillow. Josh looked a little closer at Scott's face, finally getting a view of it and seeing that Scott's eyes were…

Looking right at Scott's face, Josh could clearly see they were open. Josh took a deep breath, feeling like if he's come this far he may as well go all the way. Going down Scott's neck, Josh made his way onto the bed and came right into plan view of Scott's vision. Josh looked at the huge teen's beautiful blue eyes but they seemed like they looked right past him. Josh frowned, it definitely seemed like Scott hand't noticed him at all.

"Scott?" Josh asked, gingerly as the blue eyes went from looking past him, to staring right at him in sudden shock. Scott didn't have the energy to really move though as he continued to lay and look at Josh. "Oh um I'm sorry I should have knocked or something."

"It's fine." Scott said softly, still not moving as Josh sat just inches away from his face. "I feel bad you somehow came all this way to see me like this."

"I wanted to. I was worried about you." Josh admitted, feeling really bad.

Scott gave a little smile. "I just don't know why you'd go so far for someone you've only known a few days…"

"Because clearly you're a good person." Josh answered back. "You said you gave everything to your girlfriend. It's passionate, and makes you a good person and a good boyfriend."

A tear ran down Scott's eye for a moment. "Not good enough, I guess. She was always really smart. I never knew why she stayed with a dummy like me." Scott started spilling his heart out. "So I gave her everything I possibly could."

"That's so sweet. That's not something to be sad about." Josh gave Scott a friendly smile. "I wish I could ever find someone like that. She just didn't appreciate how hard you tried."

Scott smiled again, this time a little wider. Josh blushed hard as he tried to keep the conversation going. "Anyway, I just wanted to check on you. Tyler was really worried too, but he didn't want to barge in."

"Oh I get it. So he sent you in quietly." Scott caught on surprisingly fast. "Tyler's a really sweet dude too, huh?"

"Something you guys have in common." Josh blushed as they both were sweeter then people would think on the surface. "But yeah… It's nice seeing you smile. We were worried."

"Don't be, dude." Scott grinned. "I'm okay. I just wanted to lay down alone."

"I'm sorry!" Josh apologized as he stood up. "Here I am ruining that…"

"No no!" Scott moved a hand to block Josh from leaving. "I'm really glad you came. I have to say though, this whole time I've been talking you, I just can't stop thinking about how small you are. It's just different than talking to someone normal size."

"Different in a good way?" Josh asked as he sat back down as Scott retracted his hand.

"Yeah for sure. I just feel so big. Like if you were normal sized I'd feel weirder about showing a little emotion." Scott tired to explain. "But also I just worrying I'm gonna like… breath too deep and choke on you…"

"Well don't do that, silly!" Josh laughed as Scott gave another toothy smile. "But I guess I also like being this little makes it easier for me to talk to you too. Meeting you today at our normal heights was…"

Josh couldn't find the right word without describing how attractive Scott is and how much easier it is seeing him like this than at normal sizes. Scott heard Josh trail off and was curious however. "Meeting me at normal hieght was what?"

"Oh just… you're so tall." Josh tried to play it off as Scott rose an eyebrow.

"And I'm not even taller right now?" Scott chuckled as he was literally a giant right now.

"Oh I guess I dunno. I'm more used to being tiny." Josh rubbed the back of his head.

"Fair enough. I like being a giant compared to you. When I first met I'll admit I kind of liked you better like you are right now." Scott chuckled. "Not that I don't like you at your normal size! You're so cute and short."

Scott blushed as he bit his lip. "Sorry! Uhh but yeah anyway."

Josh laughed, Scott was very cute when he flustered. "Yeah, anyway. I'm glad you're looking a little better."

"I feel a lot better. Thanks to you, Josh." Scott stopped. "I mean boss."

"Nah Josh is fine. Were friends and roommates now." Josh smiled as Scott relaxed a little. "My giant roommate!"

"Hell yeah, dude!" Scott smiled. "You should be small like this all the time!"

"Sure!" Josh answered immediately without thinking. Scott smiled as he finally adjusted himself to laying on his side rather than on his stomach. Josh watched as he moved his massive body and settled.

"Glad you didn't do that when I was on your back!" Josh smiled jokingly.

"Wait you crawled on me?" Scott rose an eyebrow. "That must've taken you forever at your size."

"It wasn't that bad." Josh waved his hands. "It was kind of fun actually! Like a big living landscape!"

"Do you wanna explore more?" Scott asked casually. He truthfully wanted to just watch Josh crawl around on his massive body a little. "I mean if you want to?"

"I-I um…" Josh wasn't sure how to react to the question.

"It's okay if you'd rather do something else. We could get Tyler in here and we could all relax." Scott asked, noticing Josh's sudden discomfort.

Josh shifted a bit because he really did want to explore Scott's body, but if Tyler joined in he might have the chance to explore both men…

Josh took a moment and decided…

"I doubt we'd be relaxing if we let Tyler in here." Josh laughed, knowing Tyler's rambunctiousness would kill the chill mood. "I think I'd rather just hang out, just the two of us."

"I'd like that too, dude." Scott smiled, still laying on his side, looking down at Josh like the tiny man was an object of great interest. Josh watched, as Scott rolled now on his back, scooping Josh in the process and setting him now on his massive chest. Josh readjusted to the new settings, staring across Scott's perfect chest to Scott's handsome face as the giant put both his arms behind his head, exposing his hairy arm pits.

"Sorry, I just figured it would be easier for you to explore like this instead, dude." Scott smiled as he watched Josh struggle to get on his feet after the sudden shift. Josh felt the soft skin under his feet, making a little difficult to stand but the firmness of Scott's muscles were almost like rocks as he started to get used to the footing. Scott continued to watched Josh as he started to walk around a little.

"I couldn't feel you before, but now that I see you on me it kind of tickles!" Scott chuckled a little, making his chest shake as Josh toppled over. Scott held his breath for a moment, as he tried to stay still so Josh could get back on his feet. "Sorry, dude."

"It's okay!" Josh yelled up to the giant, now a great deal away from his face. Josh tired to see if he was heard, but he wasn't sure if Scott was listening that closely. Shrugging, Josh started me make his way to Scott's rippling abs, watching as the twitched a little as he walked across them occasionally touching them with his hands. "Is he really that ticklish?"

Just then, Josh felt a gurgling rumble beneath his as he stood somewhere near Scott's stomach. Roaring and shaking with hunger, Josh felt like it was some sort of crazy earthquake. Scott watched as Josh fell to his hands from the tremor and moved his hand down as if he was going to try and catch him.

"Dude are you okay?" Scott asked, as he saw Josh still laying on his abs. He was impressed a simple rumble of his stomach was enough to knock the man off his feet, but it did remind him just how tiny his new roommate and friend was. "Sorry, I haven't eaten in awhile, I forgot I was hungry until you calmed me down, dude."

"We should get you something to eat then!" Josh yelled up at Scott who seemed to hear him this time.

"Maybe in a bit. You only just got to start exploring. I kinda like having you crawl around on me too…" Scott smiled, lifting his head a bit to better see Josh on his stomach. Josh watched as Scott leaned back again, putting his arms behind his head once more.

"He shouldn't starve himself." Josh worried for the behemoth teen. He was glad to hear he enjoyed having him explore his body though. Thinking of where to go next, Josh decided he wanted to go to…

Josh arrived at his usual time at the park and was greeted by a few members of his staff. Walking swiftly to the wave pool Josh continued to give polite "good mornings" to everyone he passed.

Finally, Josh made his way to the massive pool and he looked out into the clean water. "It's so peaceful when the park is closed…" Josh said out loud to himself.

Suddenly, Josh found himself in a headlock, he looked down at the tanned bicep curled around his neck and struggled as he started to get a light noogie on his head.

"Not so peaceful now, boss!" Boomed the a voice from above him. Josh barely could turn his head up and look to see it was Tyler, smirking at his shorter boss as he held him against his chest. "Morning boss!"

Josh coughed a little as the huge man let him down. Rubbing his neck for a second he decided to hold back any lecture he had for his head lifeguard as he knew he had more important things to worry about. "Morning Ty… Good to see you're so full of energy…" Josh said starting to smile eerily.

Tyler took a step back from his suddenly creepy boss. "W-what's with the face little buddy?" He asked nervously.

"Oh nothing, just you have a newbie to train today. He's a real bright one so I hope you have a good time." Josh said happy he could put the bigger man in his place after that embarrassing noogie.

Tyler slapped his hand on his chest and sighed. "Oh good. That's all dude?"

Josh snickered to himself as he looked out and saw Scott walking toward them, with a young lady in a pink bikini holding on to his huge arm. "Just in time Scott!" Josh yelled out at the humongous man. "I want you to meet Tyler. He's going to be instructing you in life guarding basics!"

Scott walked up in front of Tyler and Josh and looked down at Tyler. "Oh sweet, sup dude, I'm Scott."

Tyler's jaw dropped a little at the sight of such a huge man. "I'm Tyler, good to meet you man."

Scott, looked down at his girlfriend. She had to be about 19 years old, 5'6" and looked absolutely tiny compared Scott. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes and a lovely looking smile. She was thin, yet looked to be very well toned. She wore a very pretty pink bikini with little white frills on them.

"This is Brianna." Scott said as he gave her a little nudge forward.

Josh smiled as he looked at the attractive woman. "Hello, I'm Josh. Scott was very excited about bringing you here! I was hoping maybe you'd accompany me on a small tour before we opened up."

She blushed a little looking down she replied softly, "Thank you so much… this is all very kind of you."

Josh turned and looked at Tyler and Scott, "You two work hard ok? Basic training shouldn't take too long. So I'll check back up on you guys in an hour and we can start CPR training."

Tyler put his hand behind his head confused. "I don't think it'll take that long… its just basics dude."

Josh looked over at Scott then back to Tyler and smiled politely. "You'll have a hour." Then turned away, motioning Brianna to follow him.

Brianna quickly turned back to Scott as the huge man leaned over and gave his girlfriend a quick peck on the lips. Brianna turned away and went to follow Josh.

- - -

Josh started his tour, showing Brianna all the rides and pools. Walking by his office Josh proudly showed off the parks many awards. Impressed Brianna followed closely along side Josh as they talked.

"Josh… I wanted to thank you so much for hiring my Scott." Brianna started off sweetly. "He's a hard worker! Even if he seems uhh…"

"Don't worry!" Josh said stopping and looking at the woman. "I can tell he's going to be just fine here."

"I can't help but worry a little though. I'm sorry for how he dressed yesterday. I was at class and well… he dressed himself." She said looking down a little embarrassed.

"It's fine really. I've seen worse!" Josh said smiling even though it wasn't entirely the truth. "Where do you take classes?" Josh asked curious.

"Oh just at the University here in town. You see Scott and I have been dating since high school and we moved here together." She said starting her story. "But to afford living here I had to get a night job, and we had to fill out a bunch of applications for him to help pay for rent."

Josh shook his head remembering just a few years ago doing the same while he was at school. "This is his first job, correct?" He asked forwardly.

"Yes… he was always so into sports in high school that he never took the time to stop and have a job." She said looking down again. "But he worked really hard in those sports and it payed off. He was captain for three different sports last year and well respected around the school."

Josh stopped for a second, thinking about how athletes garnered "respect" in high school and he hated thinking Scott could have thrown his weight around forcefully. "I remember some of the jocks getting me to respect them in high school, mostly through threatening to beat me up in the hall ways." He said looking down meekly.

"Oh no its not what you think at all!" She said looking seriously at Josh. "Whenever someone tried to bully any of the smaller kids in the halls Scott would always go and stand up for them. He believed it didn't matter if you were a jock or a nerd, everyone deserved the same respect."

Shocked Josh looked at Brianna and apologized. "I'm so sorry! I had no idea he was so noble."

"It's alright. He might have not been as smart as a lot of the people he stood up for but he was so kind that everyone looked up to him as a leader of sorts." She said looking back in the direction of the wave pool.

Josh looked back as well and realized how much time had gone by. "You can enjoy the park for the rest of the day, feel free to ride any of the slides you'd like." He said happily. "The park will be open soon, so make sure you get the rides you want quick!"

"Thanks so much! I had no class today so you can bet I'll be enjoying your wonderful park to the fullest!" She said starting to turn away from Josh. "Promise me you'll look out for my Scott while he's here? He's already talked so much about you and how much he respects you too. So I know he'll be looking out for you." She said smiling and walking away to get a good spot in one of the lines.

"I will." Josh said smiling to himself as she walked away.

- - -

Walking back to the wave pool Josh saw Scott treading water swimming out to the back of the pool. Walking up next to Tyler he tapped his shoulder and greeted the tan hunk. "How's he doing, Ty?" Josh asked as they watched Scott reach the other end of the pool and start to turn around.

"He's got crazy endurance, and he could save like three people at once… but trying to explain to him why you need to wait for people to go down a slide in intervals was one of the hardest things I've ever done, dude." Tyler said scratching his head.

Josh smiled, glad it wasn't too easy on him after all. Just then Scott emerged from the water, dripping wet. He rubbed his toned torso and shook off his arms as he walked up to the two men. "How'd I do dudes?"

Tyler looked down at his stopwatch and looked shocked at the time. "Your time was incredible, dude! Nice lap!"

Scott smiled as he looked down at Josh. "I sure learned a lot boss! It's a lot to remember so maybe you can go over it with me again sometime if I forget something?"

Josh smiled back, it wasn't normally something he'd do, but he remembered what he promised Brianna. "That'd be fine Scott! We can go over whatever you need."

Scott laughed as he grabbed a towel and started to wipe off his still dripping body. Josh turned and looked up at Tyler and addressed him. "Could you bring him around out back and start having him watch the CPR video? I'll meet you guys there in a bit."

Tyler nodded and motioned for Scott to follow him. Josh went around to his office to make sure Scott's paperwork was all set before heading to the break room. Finally satisfied with his work Josh decided to head over to the huge break room. Josh walked into the room to find…

Looking out over the balcony Josh saw Tyler and Scott standing over a CPR dummy on the kitchen table. Josh decided to listen in as Tyler explained how to do chest compressions. He couldn't help but laugh a little quietly on the side as Tyler had to guide Scott's hands in the correct spot in the middle of the dummy's chest.

Feeling like he'd seen enough Josh figured it was time to take one of the little elevators, designed to help him around the room, over to the kitchen table. As he rode over Josh heard as Tyler tried to tell Scott to do the compressions a little softer, since he was apparently shaking the whole table.

Josh finally arrived at the table and stepped off the elevator as it zipped off. He started walking toward the dummy as he saw Scott was about to try more chest compressions.

"Remember dude, they have to be hard so they help circulate the heart, but you don't want to implode the person's chest either." Tyler said as Scott moved his hands into position above the dummy's chest. "Remember how many you need to do in a minute?" Tyler asked looked over at Scott as his eyes widened a little.

"Ummm 60?" Scott replied nervously.

"Nah dude, remember it's 100. You have to almost do two compressions a second." Tyler said patting the huge man on his back. "Alright go ahead."

Just then Scott started pressing down on the dummy's chest hard and swift and the table started to shake again. Josh started to lose his footing and fall toward the end of the table without having much time to react to the violent tremors.

Just before Josh fell off the side he managed to grab onto the edge of the table, barely clinging on. As the tremors continued Josh….

Holding on with all his might Josh somehow managed to wait out the remaining quakes as he pulled himself back onto the table. Wiping some sweat off his forehead Josh made his way toward Scott and Tyler as Tyler stepped forward next to the larger man to try and explain again how "softer" works.

"See dude, you're just shaking up the whole table, you'll break it along with all the dummy's ribs." Tyler said looking up at Scott.

"Sorry man, I'm trying my best, but I don't know if I can go any softer than that." Scott said looking down at the dummy, hoping he never breaks someone's ribs when he gives them CPR.

"Try practicing them slower and more deliberate for now so you can get the feel for doing it easier, Scott." Josh said as he walked up toward the two.

"Oh hey boss! You saw me pressing too hard huh?" Scott said looking down at his tiny boss.

"Not only that, I nearly fell off the table with how much you shook the table!" Josh said smiling at the gigantic man. "Ty, you guys finished the video I take it?"

"Yeah dude, we've just been practicing compressions for now. He got first steps pretty fast. Right dude?" He said looking at Scott. "What's the first thing you do when you suspect someone has a heart attack?"

"Have someone call 911, give the person space, ask them if they're ok, and check for breathing and a pulse." Scott said counting the steps on his hand.

"Great job Scott!" Josh said happily. He was actually surprised Scott got the memory portion down faster than the physical one.

Scott blushed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Thanks so much boss… Now I just gotta get this compression thing down."

"Like I said let's practice slower for now." Josh said sitting down on the other side of the dummy and looking up at Scott from over the dummy.

- - -

The three continued the practice as, slowly but surely, Scott got the hang of going a little softer and finally was able to do them fast enough to get enough compressions in a minute. Pleased, Josh turned to Tyler and asked him to grab the paper exam from one of the break room's storage closets. Retrieving the paper, Tyler set the test down in front of Scott after moving the dummy out of the way. Josh sat across from Scott near the top of the paper, and decided to observe Scott as he took the exam.

Scott nervously filled out the test, biting the pen he was given as he went along. Occasionally he'd look up nervously at Josh when he filled out an answer. Josh just tried to smile, hoping to relax the behemoth of a man.

Finally done, Scott slowly turned the paper at his little boss. Tyler started to step forward to collect it but Josh stopped him. "It's ok Ty, I got this. You can go make sure nobody's slacking off in the park ok?"

Tyler looked down at his little boss and gave a him a "are you sure?" kind of look as Josh nodded politely. "You got it bud. Come grab me if you need me dude." He said as he started to leave the break room.

Josh stood up and and started to walk across the test to the top of the page so he could read out everything from top to bottom. Knowing the questions by heart Josh merely had to look at the answers and add up the scores as he went.

"Ty wasn't too hard on you was he?" Josh asked looking up at Scott as the large man jumped thinking he was getting his grade.

"No dude, he was great. He's really helpful and nice, glad I got to know someone here." Scott said stilling looking down at his paper, starting to sweat a little.

"Yeah Brianna told me you guys just moved here this semester, it'll be good to meet a few people around here and make new friends." Josh said smiling up at Scott.

"Yeah you guys are cool, maybe… we could chill sometime or something." Scott said turning away a little.

"It doesn't bother you that I'm your boss?" Josh said asking the huge man raising an eyebrow.

Scott moved his hands and started waving them in front of his chest. "No! Yes? Uhhh…" He tried to say nervously.

"I was only kidding Scott! You're a great guy I'd love to hang out with you sometime!" Josh said happily at the young man.

Relieved Scott rested his hands and smiled. "I was a little worried, sorry dude. Its just since moving here the only person I knew was Bri, and even she made some friends fast at her school. Not to mention she works nights… So usually I just work out and have nothing to do in the evenings until she comes home right before bed."

Josh smiled, thinking how interesting it'd be to hang out with Scott. He bet the giant man would be a hoot to watch tv or play video games with or even head out somewhere with and chill. Josh continued to look down at the paper though as the conversation went on, as Josh slowly added up the score it came out that Scott…

Josh frowned for a second when he came up with the score. "55." He said to himself. Josh knew well the passing score was a 60 and even then he liked for most of the guys to at least get above a 70 before certifying them. Josh looked up at Scott, who was anxiously fidgeting in his chair.

"Scott, you just barely failed… sorry to say that." Josh started as he looked up at Scott. Scott's expression changed fast and his face started to go a little pale as he swallowed hard. Josh figured it was about time to remind him that the test can be retaken.

"Don't forget Scott, you can try again tomorrow." Josh said smiling at the gigantic man. Josh's words did little to brighten the young man up however as he continued to looking down with a disappointed look on his face.

"And I can help you study of course!" Josh pipped up desperate to get Scott to cheer up. Scott looked down directly at Josh and a small smile came across his face.

"You really mean it boss?" He asked quietly.

"Of course I will!" Josh said happily. "You said you don't have anything to do after you work out and go home anyway right?"

"Yeah that's right, would you come to my apartment after I work out then?" Scott asked, still a little shaken by failing the test.

"Where do you live?" Josh asked, standing up and move a bit forward to the massive teen. Josh tried to look up at his handsome face as it still hung a little low.

Scott put a hand on his head on his head thinking for a second. "I don't know my way around much yet, but it's like the west side of town. I have to take a bus. The gym is right around the corner from where I live though. It's a small gym named "Pumping Iron" if you know where that is?"

Josh stopped to think for a second. He knew he lived on the other side of town, and he didn't want to wait around at the park for much longer than he'd have to just to wait for Scott to finish working out… Even then he didn't know Scott's exact address to begin with!

"That's on the other side of town from where I live…" Josh started to say still in thought.

"You could just come to gym with me, then when I'm done working out we can just turn the corner and go to my apartment!" Scott said, trying to come up with a solution.

Josh frowned at the idea. The thought of sitting there in a gym for god knows how long while Scott worked out didn't really appeal to him. "Think maybe you could just skip the gym tonight?" Josh inquired.

Scott looked down at his chest then turned and looked at his arms. "Boss, I almost never skip a gym day! I guess if its that big a deal I could." He said scratching his head again.

Josh felt bad about the comment. I suppose it wasn't really that big of a deal, Josh was just making it into a big deal. "It's fine, I'll wait at the gym with you then."

"Ok cool dude." Scott said sitting up straighter. "The only thing is they're not too keen on guests… So I'd need to keep you in my locker while I work out, then I'll grab you and we can head over to my apartment."

"Wait what?" Josh said confused. "What do you mean "keep me in your locker"?"

"Oh well dude, you'd have to stay small like you are now." Scott said plainly. "A-as long as that fine with you?" He added nervously.

Josh sighed. Now it really was a big deal. "Is there any way I don't have to stay so small?" Josh asked finally.

"I guess if I skipped my work out we could go right home…" He said with a very sad tone.

Josh sighed again. Seemingly his only option was to…

"I don't want to have to make you skip your gym day, Scott." Josh said looking up at the handsome teen. "I'll just tough it out in your locker later."

Scott smiled widely and stood up straight as he started thanking his tiny boss. Josh was glad to see Scott so happy, but he still wasn't particularly looking forward to spending who knows how long in a locker. Josh's expression must have given his thoughts away as Scott looked back down at the little man.

"Don't worry boss I won't take too long later. I promise! Besides we'll have a lot of studying to do!" Scott added happily.

Josh smiled at the comment, glad to see that Scott wasn't planning on leaving him in the locker forever. Until then, he knew there was still work to be done today!

"Scott, since you didn't pass the exam I want to put you under supervision of one of my other lifeguards for the rest of the day. You can learn a thing or two I'm sure." Josh said as Scott listened to his boss intently.

"I'm thinking probably Tyler, since you met him earlier." Josh said as he tried to remember where Tyler was stationed right now. "He should be working the front post on the wave pool. So I want you to go there and tell him that he'll be supervising you for the rest of the day, ok?"

Scott shook his head and thanked his boss one more time before leaving out the back door. Josh took a deep breath. Knowing his day was far from over. He turned and left toward the park and figured he could get a little work done in his office until he left with Scott later.

- - -

Taking a seat at his desk Josh looked over at the clock. Noticing he still had a few hours before closing he pulled out some paper work and started getting some of it done. As he sifted through some filed he heard a knock at his door.

"Come in!" Josh yelled at the door, barely looking away from his papers.

"Is this a bad time?" A woman's voice chimed out across the room. Josh looked up to see it was Scott's girl friend, Brianna. Still wearing her pink bikini she appeared to be still a little wet from her day at the park.

"Oh I'm sorry." Josh said as he set down his papers as he looked across the room at the attractive blonde. "How was your day at the park Brianna?"

She smiled as she walked across the room toward Josh's desk. "It was wonderful! You really have an amazing place here. But that's not why I am here. I haven't seen Scott at all since this morning, I was just wondering how he did?" The woman asked with a concerned look on her face.

Josh looked down for a second before he refocused his attention on Brianna's face. "Practically, he did fantastic. As far and any written exercises go though…"

"Oh I see…" She said looking down. "Did he fail something? Is he going to lose his job?"

"He did fail a written exam but its not going to cost him his job so no worries!" Josh said looking at the woman and smiling. "I promised him to help him study for the retake tomorrow. So I'll be helping him out tonight!"

She looked up with a bright smile. "That's wonderful for you to do! He must be so happy you're going to study with him!"

"He seemed like it!" Josh said back to her.

"Oh but if it's at our apartment I won't be there. I would have loved to make you some dinner or something for your trouble!" She said suddenly with an earnest look.

"Yeah I heard you work nights. Don't worry about us! We'll figure something out." Josh said still smiling. He couldn't help but think what Scott normally does for food, but he imagined whatever Brianna makes would probably be better.

"Well I have to run home and get ready for work! If I have time I'll whip something up and put it in the fridge for you guys to have. Otherwise, I promise to make it up to some how!" She said still looking determined.

"If you don't have time don't worry about it! Just worry about getting to work!" Josh said happily, hoping maybe she had time to make a little something.

Brianna turned and left, thanking Josh a few times as she made her way out. Josh sat back down at his desk and got back to his paper work. A few hours went by and it was starting to be closing time.

Josh did his usual sweep of the park as people left, and he locked up the area. Moving his way to the break room, he knew Scott would be waiting there for him. Josh opened the door to the huge room and saw the colossal teen standing out in the room before him. Calling out to him as loud as he could, Scott eventually noticed his tiny boss on the balcony.

"Ready to go, boss?" Scott asked the little man as he lowered his hand for him to climb on.

Josh climbed up on the closest massive finger near him and shook his head, Scott, squinted as he could barely see his little boss's head move. Scott slowly inched Josh into the middle of his hand, and closed his palm gingerly around the little man. Josh squeaked in fear of being crushed as the masses of flesh seemed to be crashing all around him.

Scott kept his hand level as he left the building and made his way to the bus stop. Nobody dared ask the huge shirtless teen what he was clutching so carefully in his hand. Finally, the pair made it to the stop right in front of the gym. Scott made his way in, nodding to the entrance staff as he made his way toward the locker rooms.

The room was mostly empty, aside from a few guys changing. Scott hurried toward his locker and undid the lock with his free hand. He opened it up and leaned down to let his boss go on a little shelf near the top.

Josh slide out of the massive man's hand finally relieved to be free of that prison. He looked up at Scott, who's massive frame couldn't even be entirely seen from his vantage point. He watched as Scott quickly changed into a pair of old gym shorts and a tight white spandex shirt that he had sitting in the locker. Josh could help but blush as Scott stood up straight and he had a view of his magnificent abs barely concealed behind the tight shirt. Scott waved good bye and shut the locker closed, and with a click as the lock kept it secure.

Josh sat down in the darkness. Looking around he couldn't see anything, all he could do was smell. The scent of metal and sweat over powered his senses as he covered his nose and laid down. All he could do was wait.

- - -

After what seemed like an hour or so the door started to open. Josh shaded his eyes as light poured in and he saw…

As Josh's eyes started to adjust to the new level of light he looked out into the world that opened before him. He saw mostly the white of Scott's tee shirt, but next to him there was another color, red. The red shirted giant started leaning down to look in the locker. Josh started stepping back as far as he could into the locker, afraid of why Scott brought a new giant to his locker.

"Josh, dude! Scott wasn't lying!" Josh heard the familiar tone speak softly into the locker.

"Tyler?" Josh asked now finally seeing Tyler's huge face poke into the locker.

"Hey dude! Scott said you were gonna help him study, then he told me he stashed you in his locker!" Tyler said quietly to his tiny boss. "He asked me if I wanted to come help out and hang out with you guys."

Josh smiled for a second, it was good he'd have Tyler with him. He knew Tyler would look after him. But still now he had to deal with two giants for the rest of the evening instead of just one.

Tyler retreated his head and stood up straight next to Scott's massive frame. "I don't see why he had to stay shrunk though, dude." Tyler said looking up at Scott.

"Well man you know how they are about guests…" Scott said looking down at Tyler. "Besides I thought it was easier this way."

"More fun too!" Tyler said smirking down at his little boss. "The boss sure does love being little!"

Josh blushed at the comment. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed that he's that obvious to literally everyone.

"Anyway dude, wanna carry my bag for me? I just wanna make sure I carry Josh fine." Scott said handing his huge gym bag to Tyler.

"Sure thing man." Tyler said grabbing the bag along with his own as Scott bent over and reached his hand slowly into the locker. He laid his hand down flat, like before Josh scaled the closest massive finger near him and he slide cautiously into the middle of the gigantic teen's palm. Scott slowly lifted his hand out of the locker and closed it gently around his little boss. With his free hand Scott redid the lock on his locker and turned to Tyler.

Darkness and sweat were the only company Josh had as he slipped and slid around in the sweat of Scott's hand as he could hear Scott's and Tyler's muffled voices as they moved. After only a few minutes Josh heard doors opening and closing, the sound of feet going up stairs, and finally light poured into Josh's eyes as Scott opened his palm. Looking around Josh realized he was in a small dining/living room with a table on one side of the room near the entrance to a kitchen, and on the other side of the room was a couch and television. Josh realized that Scott was lowering his hand down to the table, and Josh started to climb his way down off the giant hand.

"I'm gonna change out of this real quick, ok dude?" Scott said looking down at his sweaty spandex shirt then down at his little boss.

"Yeah me too man!" Tyler said already trying to pull off his red spandex shirt. "Where's your bathroom dude?"

Scott walked out of the room down a hallway and motioned to a room on his right, as he walked further down the hall to his bedroom. Tyler followed after him, clicking on the light as he went in. Josh sat down on the wooden floor that was the table, taking in his surroundings a little more as he tried to wipe Scott's sweat off his arms and legs. After finally drying himself off a bit the door to the bathroom swung open as Tyler came sauntering out. He wore a pair of loose looking red gym shorts and a black pair of socks. He didn't bother putting on a shirt as he still seemed hot as his body glistened with sweat between is huge pecs all down on his sculpted 6 pack. He did however wear a red baseball cap backwards, showing off some of his longish brown hair.

Tyler walked over to the table Josh was at and took a seat in front of Josh looming over him with a big smile. Josh blushed as he looked up at Tyler's magnificent body. He took his attention away from Tyler as he heard Scott's bedroom door open as Scott stepped out of the room. He was wearing a pair of white plaid shorts, loosely falling slightly off his hips. He was also wearing a pair of black socks, but he also had a white stringer tank top on, barely hiding his enormous sweaty torso.

"Dude why even bother wearing a shirt?" Tyler said to Scott as he walked out into the room.

"Oh well I figured it was better than nothing, I just didn't wanna be rude dude." Scott said unsure how to react.

"Dude we don't care! We're around shirtless dudes all day anyway!" Tyler said winking at his little boss.

Scott tossed off the string of a tee shirt as he walked past the table toward the kitchen. "Yeah true, it's hot in here anyway."

Josh watched as the colossal teen walked into the kitchen, in awe of his amazing physique as well as his gigantic stature.

"Oh hey," Scott's voice came from the kitchen. "Bri left a note, looks like she…"

"Dudes she made some of her mac and cheese. Its all home made and it's really awesome!" Scott said, wandering back out toward the table with a smile.

"Great dude!" Tyler says as he gives his stomach a good slap. "I'm starved!"

Josh blushed as he watched Tyler smack his sweaty abs. He couldn't help but find the action to be both intimidating, but also very attractive. Snapping back to reality though he turned to Scott and spoke. "That sounds great, Scott! We'll all have to thank Bri sometime for feeding us."

Scott rubbed the back of his neck and blushed slightly. "Well knowing her, she's just glad you guys are here to help me. Cooking for you guys was probably just her way of being grateful."

Josh smiled, knowing that was the truth, but even so he was happy to help Scott regardless. "Well I gotta throw it in the oven, Bri's instructions say to let it cook for like 20 minutes." Scott says as he walks back into the kitchen. Josh turned back to look at Tyler, who watched Scott walk back off into the kitchen. Suddenly, the huge man stood up and followed him through the doorway.

Josh continued to sit down and look around the room. Unsure why Tyler left, he thought maybe he just went to help put it in the oven. Josh chuckled to himself, wondering if Tyler was worried that Scott didn't know how to work and oven. As Josh continued to imagine Scott scratching his head over how to turn on an oven, Tyler walked back into the room holding two glasses. One had some sort of neon blue liquid and the other appeared to be just water with a spoon in it. Tyler sat back down in front of Josh and set the cups down and took a drink from the blue liquid with a loud gulp.

"What? I was thirsty." Tyler says as he was curious to Josh's stares. Josh quickly looked away, embarrassed he was caught staring. Tyler laughed at the little man as Scott walked into the room with a drink of his own. Taking a seat at the other end of the table the ground shook a little as he planted his butt. Josh was glad he was sitting as the tremor easily would have knocked him off his feet. It really made Josh appreciate just how massive Scott was.

"So we figured," Tyler started looking down at Josh. "We could start studying while the food cooked."

"Yeah and Tyler thought I could use a little… encouragement." Scott said looking over at the glass of water.

Josh looked over at the glass, not sure if he liked the use of the word "encouragement". "How so…? Josh asked cautiously.

Tyler smiled and took the spoon out of the water and quickly scooped up Josh before he could protest. He proceeded to lean the spoon over the water, holding it from tipping over into the glass. "W-what's going on?" Josh asked nervously as his surroundings changed so quickly.

"Well I thought it would be fun if we played a game, dude. If Scott get's five questions wrong, you get to go for a swim!" Tyler said as he slowly tipped the spoon closer to falling into the cup.

Josh turned and looked at Scott who sort of just shrugged. "Sorry dude, it was Tyler's idea. Maybe it'll help. I don't want you to get dunked dude."

"Don't I get a say in this?" Josh said turning back to Tyler.

"Nah." Tyler said simply. "Alright let's get started!"

- - -

Tyler then started to question Scott, mostly easy questions which Scott knew the answers to. As a few minutes went by Tyler started to ask harder and harder questions. Scott started to slip up and gradually one by one get questions wrong.

"Alright, one more question!" Tyler announced. "And remember! Get it wrong and our little friend goes for a swim!"

Josh swallowed hard as he looked over the end of the spoon. All he saw was an ocean of water, with seemingly no bottom. He wasn't worried about swimming in it, it wasn't like he was a weak swimmer. Mostly he just didn't want to get wet.

"Here we go!" Tyler said with a smile. "How many compressions do you need to perform in a minute while doing CPR?"

Josh couldn't believe his luck. This was the question that Tyler asked Scott earlier today! He got in wrong then, but surely he learned from his mistake and knew it now! Josh confidently looked over at Scott who had his eyes closed in thought. Finally, he opened his eyes and gave his answer. "You need to do…"

"Bzzzt! Wrong answer!" Tyler says and he let's go of the spoon, sending it plunging into the water. Josh screamed as he slide down as the weight of the spoon pulled him deep down into the liquid. Swimming back up as fast as he can he made it to the surface, taking a deep breath. Josh looked up as he saw the handle of the spoon hanging out past the rim of the cup. As Josh swam over to the spoon to hold on to he listened to Tyler and Scott.

"Why say 120 dude?" Tyler asked as he stood up.

"Well I remember you saying something about two compressions per second or something." Scott responded looking over at the cup. "Is Josh ok?"

"Ah yeah, I said ALMOST two compressions per second. The right answer was 100 by the way, dude." Tyler looked down at the cup, seeing Josh make it to the spoon and latching on to it. "He's fine, come on let's grab some food I'm starved."

Tyler turned away from the table and walked off into the kitchen. Josh could hear the clanking of plates and the sound of the oven opening. Josh sighed, a little upset he just gets left in this stupid cup. Looking up Josh saw…

Scott picked up the cup and put a finger on his lip. Quietly he spoke to his tiny boss. "Don't worry, I'll move you over to my side of the table so he won't mess with you anymore."

Scott walked back over to where his seat and drink was and placed Josh's cup next to his own. Josh watched as the massive man gave him a thumbs up. "You can totally just climb out on your own right? Tyler would get all pissed if I just let you out. Good luck dude."

Scott turned and left to the kitchen, leaving Josh in the cup wishing he had just let him out. "Nothing can be easy can it…" Josh said as he looked up.

Figuring he'd better start climbing, Josh pressed his hands against the semi-slick surface and some how managed to start climbing up. Taking his time he slowly made it up the massive utensil until he made it up all the way to the tip of the handle. Josh sat down at the top, trying to take in some deep breaths after all the work he just had to do. However, as he looked around it was an interesting view. He was much higher up than he was before so he could see the room a bit more clearly. Just massive pictures and posters on the walls, which easily could be miles and miles long compared to Josh.

After taking in the scenery, Josh finally looked down. Which was a bit of a mistake. The tip of the spoon was almost directly above Scott's drink. Josh wasn't sure what the drink in question was. It was dark and brown, almost milky looking.

"A protein shake?" Josh said aloud a little more curious. Either way Josh tried to scoot away from the edge of the spoon, not wanting to fall in the liquid regardless of what it was.

Looking over the other edge he saw he could slide his way down off the the spoon and land gently on the table. Josh stood up, preparing himself for the descent he…

Suddenly a tremor came from the kitchen as the floor started to shake. Josh stumbled backwards near the edge of the spoon before falling backwards through the air. Josh screamed as he tried to turn himself around. With a splash, Josh finally landed. Swimming around in a murky goop he tried to find some air as he struggled about in the thick liquid. Finally breaking the surface, Josh looked around.

"I fell in his protein shake!" Josh yelled as the thick milky goop started to pull him under. Josh struggled trying to stay at the surface, but the heavy liquid made the task very difficult. Hoping that Tyler and Scott would return soon, he flailed his arms around every chance he got.

- - -

Tyler walked back into the room holding a plate full of mac and cheese. Setting the plate down on the table he already started digging in before Scott could even walk into the room. He did however look over and notice the glass Josh was in was moved.

"Yo Scott!" Tyler yelled with a full mouth.

Scott sauntered into the room with his own plate of mac and cheese and looked over at Tyler. "What's up?" He replied as he set down his plate.

"Dude, you moved Josh." Tyler said as he shoved another fork full of food in his mouth.

"Yeah…" Scott said as he swallowed his own food. "Well you always pick on him. Thought I'd bring him over here so you'd leave him be."

"Dude!" Tyler says again with a full mouth. "He loves it when I pick on him! Just ask him!"

Scott looks down at the glass, and carefully looks by the spoon. "Uhh well he's not in the cup anymore."

Tyler stood up and walked over next to Tyler and looked at the glass. Picking it up he examined it closely. "Well where did he go?" He said looking at the bottom of the glass.

"I told him to climb out, I wasn't sure if he could actually do it or not though." Scott says as he starts looking around for Josh on the table. Tyler meanwhile shrugged, and lifted the glass to his lips and chugged the water down in a few gulps. "Dude! What if Josh was still in there?" Scott says looking surprised.

"I guess he'd be joining some of the mac and cheese I just ate." Tyler says jokingly. "Besides he wasn't in there so don't worry."

"Still though…" Scott says as he continues his search along the table. "Where could he have gone?"

Tyler briefly looked at the floor, "Doubt he would have jumped down to the floor. Being that small he'd know that's a bad idea."

Tyler stands and thinks for a second before turning around to let his back face Scott. "Dude, check out my ass."

"Dude, what the hell?" Scott says as he looks away. "Why you shoving your ass at me?"

"What if he fell on one of our seats? We could have sat on him." Tyler says still looking away from Scott. "Well?"

Scott put his hand on Tyler's ass and brushed it along the smooth surface of the red gym shorts. "I don't see or feel anything dude. What about me?"

Scott stands up and turns around, Tyler checks his butt too for any tiny survivors but also to no avail. "Nah dude, you're good too…"

Tyler starts to look out into the room. He frowns as he looks down on the floor. "Maybe he did end up on the floor dude. We should check."

Scott sighs as he rubs his gut. He was hungry and wanted to get his protein. Looking down he grabs his shake and lifts it up to his enormous face. "Alright, just let me chug my shake first dude."

"Go ahead dude." Tyler says as he tip toes out past Scott, carefully looking before he takes any steps.

Scott continues to lift the shake slowly to his face, just as he opens his mouth though Tyler interrupts…

"Hey dude…"

"Come on dude chug chug chug!" Tyler said smiling and turning to look at Scott.

Scott smiled and lifted the drink up to his face and opened his mouth wide…

- - -

Josh watched in horror as the glass started to tip toward Scott's open mouth. Barely bale to stay afloat in the thick liquid Josh couldn't do much more than flail and splash around weakly as the murky sea started to tilt into the dark cave.

Suddenly the glass tipped even faster, as Josh started to drop screaming into Scott's awaiting mouth. Helplessly, he was swept onto the gigantic tongue on his new employee as the torrent of protein shake started to drain down Scott's massive throat. Josh tried as hard as he could to swim against the current, but the liquid was just flowing too fast as he was transported to the back of the throat with ease. With one last ditch effort, Josh reached for the huge uvula as it swayed tauntingly above Josh's final drop. However it was just too high out of Josh's reach as it almost waved good bye to Josh as he was sloshed down.

In a mess of liquid Josh was forced to hold his breath as he followed the flow down Scott's esophagus. Unable to see anything in the pitch black darkness mixed with nothing but cold liquid All Josh could do was wait in terror as he was swiftly transported down with the drink. Just before succumbing to taking a breath, Josh felt a small amount of relief as he was finally deposited into the stomach. Falling unceremoniously with a splat, Josh found himself back in the same liquid he's been trapped in the whole time, however this time things were a little more dire as he looked around.

Treading the thick liquid Josh found a noodle of sorts he could float on as he took in his surroundings.

"It's absolutely enormous in here!" Josh couldn't help but exclaim out loud. Josh knew Scott was massive, but he never would have expected his insides would be so ungodly huge! Josh continued to watch in awe as the walls of the massive stomach churned and contracted rhythmically every couple of seconds. As the stomach continued to shift about Josh snapped back to reality. "I have to get out of here! Scott! Tyler! HELP!"

- - -

*Glugglgluggglugg* Scott just finished draining the rest of his shake, as he set the empty cup down on the table and wiped his mouth.

"There let's look for Josh now dude." Scott says with a smile, glad he got a chance to drink his shake.

Tyler smirked as he walked over next to Scott and gave his stomach a couple pats. "Nice dude, that was pretty fast!"

Scott rubbed the back of his neck, unsure how to react. "Thanks dude. I feel a lot better now."

"I bet dude," Tyler says as he tip toes back into the room carefully looking at the floor. "Now watch your step big fella." He adds playfully.

Scott smiled as he watched the floor carefully before taking any steps. The ground shook each time he laid a foot down much to Tyler's amusement. Scott blushed, hoping his foot steps wasn't going to scare off his tiny boss. The gigantic teen just wanted to find the little man as soon as possible so they could get back to studying, after all he wanted to pass that exam tomorrow to make Josh proud!

After searching for a few minutes, the pair returned to their seats. Looking down and disappointed Scott hoped his little boss would show himself soon. Scott lifted his fork and scooped up a fairly large amount of mac and cheese to shove in his mouth as his mind raced over where Josh could be hiding. He swallowed the food down, completely unaware that the food he just ate will find Josh in just a few moments.

"We'll find him dude." Tyler said looking over at his disheveled friend. "Don't worry, I bet he's just messing with us!"

Scott smiled, hoping that Tyler was right. "Yeah he's missing out on this awesome mac and cheese right now!" He said shoving another bite in his mouth then proceeding to swallow the food once more. Putting a hand on his stomach he started to rub it and look around the room. "Sooooo good! He's missing out!"

Tyler laughed at Scott's new found enthusiasm and decided to join in on the taunting. As the two continued to joke and taunt Josh little did they know the little man did in fact get to have some of that delicious meal, but unfortunately for him he also got to be a part of it.

"Dude… look in your shake. It's the only place on the table we didn't look." Tyler said, stopping in his tracks and looking over at Scott moment's before he started to down the murky mess. Scott shrugged and actually looked down in the drink, carefully scanning the surface before he noticed the faint struggles of a tiny speck. Setting the cup down he bent over and looked even closer to see his tiny boss nearly drowning in the thick liquid.

"Dude he's in here!" Scott said pointing at his shake. Tyler shook his head and walked over next to the enormous teen and grabbed the spoon from out of the now empty glass of water and quickly scooped the terrified tiny man out of the protein shake. Setting the spoon down on the table, Tyler watched as his tiny boss struggled his way out of the mess and onto the table.

"I just saved your life boss!" Tyler said staring down at his tiny friend with a satisfied grin on his face. Meanwhile, Scott looked away in embarrassment as he was the thing Tyler just saved Josh from.

Josh shook off the gross liquid from his body and did his best to clean it off his face before looking at the pair of men who almost got him killed. Josh couldn't help but shake his head at Tyler's comment, knowing he was practically the reason he ended up in Scott's drink in the first place, but he knew there was no fighting it.

"Thanks Ty, I knew I could count on you guys to figure it out." Josh said smiling at the two of them. Scott still hung his head in shame. Upset he almost drank his new boss after all the kindness he's shown him.

"Boss, it's my fault you ended up in there. I'm sorry." Scott said still looking away from Josh.

Josh looked up at the sad looking man, hoping he could convince him it wasn't actually his fault. "Scott, you were just trying to help and get me away from that jerk, Tyler. I fell in by accident, so it's not your fault!"

Tyler reared back at the comment of calling him a jerk, much to Scott's amusement. Josh and Scott laughed as Tyler angrily stood there saying he should have just let Scott drink him after all. After finishing his fit, Tyler shuffled back to his seat and sat hard in his chair, shoveling a mass of mac and cheese in his mouth before swallowing the bite whole. Josh sighed as he watched the grown man pout, before he found a massive cheesy noodle placed next to him. Turning around he saw Scott, smiling and retracting his fork from where he just offered Josh some of his meal. Nodding in thanks, Josh turned to the noodle and gave the warm cheesy surface a huge bite.

- - -

Having finished their food, the trio cleaned up the mess and made sure to put all the dishes away in the dishwasher. Josh laughed as Scott mentioned that Bri would make him sleep on the couch if she found out he left a mess for her to clean up. Josh watched as the two titans did all of the work, after all what help would a tiny man like Josh had been able to offer anyway? Finally, Josh watched as Tyler sulked back into the dining room and pulled out the chair before seating himself back the the table. Resting his shoulder on the back of the chair and leaning back a little, he stretched out his muscular frame before looking toward Josh, giving him a quick "Sup."

"Come on, you're not a jerk." Josh said finally at the massive stud. Tyler leaned forward looking a little more carefully at the little man.

"And?" He asked putting a hand behind his ear.

"And… I like it when you pick on me?" Josh said, remembering Tyler shouting about that moments after he started drowning in protein shake.

Tyler reached across the table and pinched Josh carefully between his fingers before transporting him in front of his face. Josh found himself, bewildered as he was face to face with Tyler's smirking mouth before it suddenly opened, releasing a long and wet sounding burp. Josh quickly covered his nose and started waving his arms in front of him, helping little to none in the effort to disperse the onslaught of gas. Finished with his burp, Tyler lowered Josh onto his chest and released him on his right pec.

"Yeah you do." Tyler said finally as he leaned back in his chair and watched his tiny boss gasp for air on his chest.

Finally, Scott re-entered the room as he hung up a phone. "That was Bri, sounds like she's going to be spending the night at a friend's studying for a test she has tomorrow."

"Oh so it's just us guys tonight, huh?" Tyler said as he watched Josh start to stand up on his chest. Tyler quickly flexed and relaxed the muscle, causing Josh to tumble back over on his back, much to Tyler's amusement. "So what's the plan big fella?"

Scott scratched his head, unaware Josh was busy struggling on Tyler's pec across the room. "Well we could study some more, I guess." He said finally, coming over and taking a seat at the table.

"Or we can play some games." Tyler said looking down at Josh once more. Josh's head spun as he stood up and heard Tyler's words. Unsure if he liked his use of the word "games".

"What kind of games, dude?" Scott asked curiously, not really wanting to study more.

Tyler smiled and replied. "I like to call it the "Bod-stacle" course. We take our little friend here, and let him run an obstacle course… on our bodies."

Scott laughed at the name, but was intrigued none the less. Looking over at Josh however, he could see the little man was less than amused. "Maybe playing the game will cheer him up?" Scott thought to himself as he made his choice…

"How would this bod-stacle course work, dude?" Scott asked curiously shifting forward in his chair. Josh face palmed as Tyler got a huge grin across his face.

"I'm glad you asked, dude!" Tyler said leaning forward and causing Josh to tumble over slightly on his chest. "We could hide some flag on our bodies for our little friend to find!"

Tyler reached down and caught Josh in his hand as he stood up. After placing Josh on the table, Tyler strode past him to stand next to Scott. Josh watched as Scott stood up and Tyler put his arm around him, turning him away from Josh. The two whispered to each other for a few minutes and Josh sighed as he could do little more than stare at their pair of perfect bubble butts. Sighing, Josh sat down and crossed his arms just in time for Scott to walk by back into the kitchen and flash Josh a thumbs up.

Tyler walked back over in front of Josh, looming over him with his chiseled body with a goofy grin on his face. Josh started to sweat as the giant man continued to stare at him with "that look". Finally, Scott reappeared at the table with a pair of scissors, a red sheet of construction paper, and some tape. Tyler smirked as he gave Scott a nod. Scott began cutting out tiny squares, as small as he could make them in a little pile on the table. Meanwhile, Tyler walked way from the table, grabbing the empty glass of water on his way. Turning down the hall, the massive stud disappeared into the bathroom.

"Scott, what is he planning?" Josh asked as quickly as he could to the giant man beside him.

"It's a secret, dude. Besides you'll see soon enough! It'll be fun!" Scott said with a smile as he continued to cut out teeny tiny red squares.

Josh sighed to himself. He supposed there was no trouble in having a little fun after all. What was the worst that Tyler would have planned anyway?

On cue, Tyler reemerged from the bathroom holding a full cup of water as well as some floss and a box of bandages. Still smiling, he set his supplies down on the table and looked over at Scott. "I'm all set dude."

"Alright man let's get you set up." Scott said as he set down the scissors and picked up as many little red squares as he could, as well as the tape.

"Hang on." Tyler said as he left the room to go back into the kitchen before quickly reappearing with a red plastic cup. "No peeking!" He said as he flipped the cup and trapped Josh underneath. Josh jumped as the cup came crashing down around him. He didn't even have time to react before he was trapped in this red prison! As far as his eyes could see all he see was the red plastic of the cup.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, Scott removed the cup and allowed Josh to see once more. Without a word, Scott lowered his hand and motioned to Josh to climb aboard. Figuring he didn't have much of a choice, Josh scaled the massive hand and looked out into the room as Scott turned to take him away from the table. On the ground Josh looked in amazement to see Tyler laying there, his muscles glistened the the light wet from the water he got from the bathroom. Not only that be he had strings sticking out from under his arm pits as well as a string sticking out of his mouth. Across his chest there was a string taped down and between his pecs on the string Josh could already see a little red square. Finally, Josh could see turned over bandages with the sticky part facing up littered across Tyler enormous body. Scott leaned down and slid Josh off his hand, onto Tyler's wet abs.

"Alright dude, he's got seven flags hidden away on his body! After you collect the first six he'll have to change positions for you to find the last one. If you get stuck to a band-aide or slip off the body you'll be penalized!" Scott said as he looked down at Josh on Tyler's motionless body.

"Penalized?" Josh asked nervously as he looked up at Scott.

"Don't worry dude, you'll be fine. Ready? Go!" Scott called out suddenly as Josh started to race forward already slipping a little on the wetness of Tyler's abs. Regaining his balance Josh trekked forward, making it to the first place he guessed a flag would be. Reaching Tyler's navel, Josh looked down into the dank looking cave as he saw something red hidden away at the bottom. Jumping down, Josh retrieved the flag and shook his head at the simplicity of the game so far. Although looking up, he realized now he had to climb out. Little by little however, the tiny man did manage to climb out of the massive jock's belly button, working his way to find the next flag.

Stopping for a second, Josh remembered that there was a flag between Tyler's pecs like a trapeze. Also there were strings coming from both his arm pits as well as his mouth. Counting, Josh came to the number 5. There had to be a flag elsewhere that he could reach that he wasn't thinking of. Josh shook his head as he worked his way toward Tyler's mountainous pecs. Figuring he can worry about the 6th flag later. While lost in thought, Josh nearly slipped on a slick portion of Tyler's upper abdomen and nearly got stuck to one of the many giant bandages. Wiping the sweat from his brow he figured he should be a little more careful.

Working his way quickly to the chest Josh…

Without any issues, Josh managed to make his way carefully to the string strung across Tyler's massive chest. With a deep breath, Josh grabbed a hold of the string and started to shimmy his way across to reach the flag. Easily grabbing it and shimmying his way back across, Josh dismounted the string with a proud look on his face.

"Awww! I was hoping he would've balanced his way across like a circus guy!" Scott called as he watched Josh make his way off the string and looking toward one of Tyler's armpits.

"I told you he wouldn't, dude. Why would he?" Tyler mumbled as he watched Josh scurry up neat his right armpit. With a smile, Tyler moved his hands to rest them behind his head and exposing his sweaty armpits for Josh to go in. "Dunno if you wanna go in there, dude! You know I just worked out right?"

Josh covered his nose with a disgusted expression. The smell that suddenly poured out from Tyler's armpit seemed completely unbearable. Josh folded his arms and shook his head. Even though he clearly could see flag plastered to Tyler's sweaty hair, he flat out refused to make the trip into the sweaty mess of hair. "I'm not going in there."

"That's too bad, dude." Tyler said with an evil grin. "We forgot to mention, if you don't get all the flags you have to spend the night somewhere on my body."

Josh rose and eyebrow, knowing Tyler this was something he'd absolutely impose upon him against his will. Looking up at Scott though, Josh couldn't believe the thoughtful young teen didn't speak up about this. "Judging by how disgusted you are with my pits, guess that's where you'll spend the night!"

Josh tried his best to stare at Scott, hoping the huge jock would come to his rescue. A few seconds passed and Josh gave in, he knew there was no saving him. Taking a step forward and plugging his nose as hard as he could, Josh entered Tyler's sweaty pit. Tyler laid his head back with a smirk as he felt the little man decide to continue the game. Eye's watering, Josh held his breath and tried to push aside the gigantic hairs. Easily out scaling him, they made it very difficult to get to the other side of the armpit despite it not looking like much of a trek. Finally, Josh had to breath in the noxious fumes by the time he reached the flag. With a chesty cough, Josh tried to make a beeline for it down the sweaty slope and out of the pit. Just as Josh made it outside, Tyler closed the sweaty prison behind him.

"Whoa! Looks like he just made it!" Scott called down to Tyler as Josh looked up with a shocked expression.

"Just made it? You were going to close me in there?!" Josh yelled at Tyler angrily.

"You were on a timer, dude." Tyler said pointing a finger up at Scott who Josh just noticed was holding a stop watch. Josh sighed, now knowing the other armpit would in fact be timed as well. Sitting down, Josh finally realized how tired he's actually gotten from all this running around. "No breaks, bud!" Tyler's voice boomed out loudly. "Hurry up and go find another flag!"

Josh stood up, angrily. It was bad enough he was being forced into this and threatened with a sweaty prison if he lost, but now he can't even rest his feet? Sighing deeply once more Josh decided to just walk casually toward…

Slowly making his way up Tyler's shoulder and toward his neck, Josh tried to make the trip last a bit as he wanted to catch his breath at least a little. Figuring after all it didn't matter how fast or slow he traveled anyway since it all probably looked pretty minuscule and slow to the two giants observing him. Looking up at Scott as he moseyed up the side of Tyler's neck, he saw the man start to shift his legs slightly as he stood tall over Tyler looking down at him.

"Maybe he's getting bored." Josh hoped to himself as he continued his calm walk, finally reaching Tyler's massive chin. Moving forward however, Josh reached Tyler's closed lips and looked over at a piece of floss hanging out the side. Putting his hands on his hips and sighing, Josh figured he'd get this show on the road. "So how's this supposed to work?"

Tyler's lips curled into a smile as he opened his mouth up and letting his tongue out just before touching Josh with the behemoth muscle. Josh frowned as he looked from Tyler's cavernous mouth up to Scott, who looked like he just got jerked awake from the lack of excitement. Looking down to see where Josh was, Scott finally spoke up.

"Easy dude, just climb down on the string and grab the flag!" Scott said eagerly as he leaned down slightly to get a better view. Josh rose an eyebrow as he looked over at the string. It didn't seem safe, but at the same time he knew he didn't really have a choice as he approached the side of Tyler's mouth and had the string at his feet.

"Do I at least get a harness or something?" Josh asked hopefully as he peeked down into Tyler's seemingly endlessly dark mouth before turning his head back up to Scott who looked a little confused.

"Uhh we didn't plan for that… So I guess not?" Scott said somewhat apologetically as Josh sighed once more as he grabbed a hold of the floss. Looping the string around his palms, Josh started to shimmy his way down into Tyler's mouth. Pressing his feet against the sticky surface of Tyler's tongue, Josh tried his best to slide down the wet surface as safely as possible. Continuing down the string as carefully as possible Josh noticed as the light in the cavern suddenly vanished.

- - -

Having just closed his mouth, Tyler smiled as he looked up at Scott's shocked expression. "Dude, what did you do that for?"

Tyler simply rose and lowered his eyebrows, not wanting to talk while he had his tiny friend shimmying his way down into his mouth. In truth he just wanted to torture his little buddy a bit but he figured he could write it off as "making it more challenging" later. Relaxing a little Tyler stretched out his legs and groaned slightly as he went back to keeping his head still. Not being able to really feel anything, he figured Josh was safe for now.

- - -

Descending deeper into the darkness, Josh kept his grip on the string tight until finally he felt his feet miss the rope and touch something else. Reaching down Josh tore a little square off of the bottom of the string and held it to his face happily. Glad to finally have the flag, Josh had an idea. He didn't come this far down only to get tired and fall. Taking the bottom of the string, Josh quickly tied it around his waist for safety. Just as he finished the knot, the whole cavern started to quake suddenly as Josh nearly dropped the flag in surprise. Regaining his hold, Josh looked up wondering what was going on outside of the dark abyss.

- - -

"Sorry!" Scott exclaimed as he stopped tapping his gigantic foot on the ground. Tyler shot him a look and tried to wave his hand to indicate it was alright. Trying to keep his head still though, Tyler knew it was probably hard enough on Josh in there, he didn't need any random quakes messing him up too.

A few minutes passed and Tyler laid still with his eyes closed when…

With all his might, Josh squeezed and wiggled as best he could up the string before finally, light. With a breath of fresh air and the welcoming glow of Scott's living room greeting him, Josh sighed with relief as he finished pulling himself out and standing firm on the solid "ground". Josh looked over at Tyler's face, his eye's closed and looking very peaceful. Meanwhile, Josh looked over to Scott who was staring down at a cell phone, looking completely bored. Tucking the flag away silently, Josh started to make his way away from Tyler's mouth.

"He won't let me quit this game…" Josh thought to himself as he slid down Tyler's neck. "But I might be able to take advantage of their boredom."

Creeping his way carefully to Tyler's other, still open arm pit, Josh held his breath as he snuck his way carefully into the forest of stinky hairs. Easily, Josh worked his way through to the flag, retrieving it with much less danger than the other sweaty pit. Another flag behind him, Josh started to think where the final flag on this side of Tyler's body could be. Walking his way slowly over onto Tyler's left pec, Josh looked down the massive landscape of Tyler's nearly asleep body. He couldn't help but stop and stare in awe for awhile while he thought. Looking all the way down Tyler's hilly abs, to his red athletic shorts, to his bare feet. For Josh, the feet might as well have been several football fields away in length. However, with a little thought, Josh started to figure that's where the last flag would be.

Josh stretched his legs for a second as he started to work his way down Tyler's round pec. Sliding his way down between Tyler's abs, Josh worked his way down to the naval, where his long journey all started earlier. Wiping a little sweat from his forehead, Josh made his way past the naval before looking backwards. Tyler's face wasn't visible anymore at this point, but Josh nearly jumped as he saw Scott, now knelt down, staring at him. Josh watched as Scott, put a finger on his lips to indicate not to talk, before he sat down as gently as he could. Josh nodded his head in understanding before Scott took his hand and pointed down to his foot, as well as turning his body slightly to point to his ass. Josh made a sour face, a little disappointed his suspicions were true, but none the lass made his way up and on Tyler's waistband to his shorts. Josh felt Scott watching as he trecked his way down the leg before looking up at Tyler's foot as it pointed straight up. On the tip of his right right toe, a small flag laid fixed there with tape.

Josh took a deep breath as he felt Scott silently rooting him on. Reaching up, Josh started his climb up Tyler's sweaty foot and…

Choking back the putrid smell from Tyler's feet, Josh slowly started to scale the mammoth foot. Small hairs made his progress a little tricky, but they were thankfully the only real obstacle for Josh to overcome. Hands slippery from the oily sweat, Josh tightened his grip on Tyler's skin as he started to reach the toe without any issue. On the tip of Tyler's big toe, Josh smiled as he wiped his hands together and reached down for the 6th red flag. Looking over at Scott, the huge teen smiled as he reached over his hand, extending out his pointer finger for Josh to climb on. Without delay, Josh scaled the finger, glad to be free of Tyler's stinky feet.

Scott pulled Josh in close to his face, and tried to speak quietly to the little man. "Good job, boss!" He whispered. "Sorry I didn't help, I didn't want to help you cheat…"

Josh nodded his head with a smile while he tucked away the flag. "No it's ok. Tyler would've gotten pissed at us both if he found out."

"At least you got to do those two flags without any of Ty's… plans." Scott said quietly as he looked down at Tyler, mouth hung open in sleep.

Josh smiled, glad about not being timed in Tyler's other pit, and shuddered to think what he had planned at his feet. Shaking any thoughts about it, Josh was just glad that whatever it was, he was passed it. However, he was quickly reminded that there was still one flag to go and he knew exactly where it was.

"So, do we think we can flip him over without waking him?" Scott asked as he started to reach down at the slightly smaller man. Josh shook his head, knowing that it wouldn't work.

"Even if you did, he'd think you helped me cheat." Josh replied with his hand on his chin. Sighing, Josh knew they'd have to wake him up. "Put me down on his stomach. Then lay down next to him and pretend like you're just waking up too."

Scott nodded his head in understanding. Lowering his hand toward Tyler's bare stomach, he watched as Josh dropped off safely on his friend's solid abs. Carefully laying next to Tyler, he rested his head for a second, before leaning up slowly. Josh watched, impressed by Scott's acting ability as he ruffled his hair under his hat and yawning loudly. He looked to the side to see Tyler not react, however. Taking his hand and nudging Tyler's arm a little, he started to try and force him awake.

"Hey dude. Wake up!" Scott said with a fake yawn. Tyler barely reacted to the words with little more than a sleepy snort from his nose. Scott sighed as he took his open palm and slapped it hard on Tyler's chest. With a loud clap, Josh felt Tyler's body shake as he woke up and leaned forward in a quick and violent fashion.

"What?!" Tyler yelled as he looked around the room and turned to see Scott. "Oh. Uh.. what happened dude?"

"We both fell asleep." Scott replied as he rubbed his eye.

"Oh shit, wasn't Josh in my mouth?" Tyler exclaimed as he started to pull up the string frantically.

"Oh dude, you didn't swallow him did you?" Scott responded as Josh watched with a giggle, still impressed at Scott's acting.

"He's not on the string." Tyler panicked as he pulled out the end, noticing there was nothing there. "Shit… what if he's in my stomach…"

Tyler looked down at his abdomen as he spoke the words, noticing the little man standing there with a smug look on his face.

"Oh that would just be terrible, Ty!" Josh mocked as his huge friend made eye contract with him. Tyler rolled his eyes as he scooped up the little man, bringing him closer to his face.

"Don't tempt me, bud." Tyler threatened as he sat up and looked at Josh better. Josh simply shrugged his shoulders with confidence and pulled out the 6 flags, laying them on the palm of Tyler's hand. Tyler rose an eyebrow as he counted the tiny red squares. "When did you get those?"

"You guys were asleep for awhile, you know." Josh boasted, crossing his arms with a smile on his face.

"I guess. Maaaaan that sucks." Tyler whined as he looked over at Scott, who shook his head in agreement.

"Yeah he had some fun ideas planned for you, dude." Scott replied, pretending to be on Tyler's side.

"Well that's too bad, Guess there's only one left, huh?" Josh smiled as he looked at Scott.

"Yeah! Here, Scott take him for a sec." Tyler responded excitedly as he handed Josh off into Scott's hands. The two watched as Tyler flipped his body over, laying on his stomach. Looking to his side, he nodded to Scott who quickly lowered his hand and let Josh down in the middle of Tyler's muscular back. Immediately, Josh looked down toward Tyler's massive ass. Wearing red athletic shorts, Josh started to wonder how difficult this was going to be to find a red flag.

Working his way down, Josh made his way to the waistband before climbing on top and looking around. Seemingly, no matter where he looked, Josh was having trouble finding the flag on top of Tyler's butt. Whether it was the red from his shorts or something else, Josh figured it was the latter. With a sigh, Josh started to think about it.

"Don't tell me it's under his shorts…" Josh thought as he slipped his way down toward the leg holes of the shorts. Lifting up the slick fabric, Josh looked out into the darkness, making out nothing but a red roof, and Tyler's black spandex tightly bound to his ass. Taking a deep breath, Josh made his way up Tyler's leg, beneath his huge friend's shorts.

Gripping his way up Tyler's left glute, Josh struggled to breath as a mix of sweat and ass stench was all that could fill his lungs. Doing his best to carry on, he made it to the top of the round muscle, hoping his journey could just be over with a lucky guess. Feeling around on the slick spandex, Josh was disappointed to find nothing among the black material. Losing his grip, Josh started to slip and slide down the sweaty and slick spandex before coming to a halt directly in the middle of Tyler's ass cheeks. Coughing in disgust, the smell was even worse now that he stopped. Eyes tearing up, Josh couldn't stand it much longer in the smelly prison. Looking forward in the valley, Josh saw…

Covering his nose, Josh practically leaped with joy as he saw the little red square sitting neatly in the crack he was stuck in. Grabbing the flag and tucking it away, Josh started to work his way free from his friend's ass. Climbing up between the two cheeks, Josh gradually made his way back to the waistband, peeking his head out and taking a deep breath of fresh air. Pulling himself out, he crawled along Tyler's back for a few feet, before getting back to his feet and waving in Scott's direction.

"Hey that was fast!" Scott beamed as he reached down, snatching up his tiny boss moments before Tyler flipped his body and sat up.

"Aww was it that obvious where it was?" Tyler moaned as he crossed his arms in a pout.

"Well where else would have been?" Josh asked, sarcastically, hoping to push his friend's buttons a little now that he claimed victory.

"I dunno, dude. I just thought you would've looked in more than one place!" Tyler complained, giving Josh a slightly sour look. Josh simply shrugged as he pulled out the flag as proof. Setting it down and sitting down finally taking a break in Scott's palm.

"So what do I win for beating you, Ty?" Josh asked in a confident tone, hoping to get something out of this whole ordeal.

"Huh? Oh no, dude. You just don't have to spend the night in my pits. Congrats!" Tyler smirked in an annoying voice.

Josh crossed his arms, looking down in disappointment. With a sigh, he knew he should have expected as much from his gigantic friend. Tyler looked down at his defeated boss, while he got a devious idea to perpetuate his control over his tiny friend.

"Hey don't be so glum, dude. You do win something else after all!" Tyler chuckled as he smiled almost too happily at Josh. "You get to do Scott's bod-stacle course!"

Scott's head perked up as he heard Tyler finish his statement before he turned and looked at the tanned man. "Say what?"

Josh nodded his head in agreement. "Agreed, say what now?"

"Yeah! Scott had his all planned out after you finished mine!" Tyler smirked happily. Josh looked up at Scott, as the huge man started to scratch his head under his hat slightly. The look on his face was all Josh needed to see before the huge teen spoke.

"It's not that bad boss, what do you say?" Scott asked, politely. Josh sighed, knowing he really couldn't say no to Scott. He's been so helpful to him so far, he figured he could at least humor him. Shrugging his shoulder, Josh gave in.

"Fiiiine." Josh mumbled as both Scott's and Tyler's faces lit up.

"Don't forget if you lose, you get the same punishment, except with Scott's body!" Tyler replied with excitement. Josh shook his head, knowing Tyler would find some way to make this worse. Looking up at Scott's face, it was a little worrying that he didn't object to the idea. Hoping the huge teen was simply putting on an act for Tyler, Josh decided to drop it and give Scott the benefit of the doubt.

"Whatever." Josh shot back coldly. Scott frowned at Josh's lack of interest in the game, however.

"Can he actually win something this time?" Scott asked, hoping to motivate the tiny man in his hand slightly.

Tyler put a hand on his chin and rubbed it slightly for few seconds, likely considering shooting down the idea. "Fine, if you win we can go back to lame studying."

Scott and Josh looked at each other, shocked Tyler would actually propose any kind of compensation for Josh's efforts. Josh smiled, feeling slightly more motivated to give this new obstacle his best shot. "Alright, I'll give it my all then."

Scott smiled as he walked Josh back over to the dining room table and placed him gently on the table. Taking the red plastic cup from earlier, he put it over Josh with a quick wink before lowering the cup and obstructing his view. Josh sat on the floor, crossing his legs with a sigh. "Great, this again." He complained. "At least it gives me a chance to relax."

- - -

A few minutes went by, and Josh yawned, starting to get bored himself after all this trouble that's gone on. Thankfully, light started to pour in over Josh's position as he saw Scott's abdomen peek through the bottom of the cup. As he revealed more of himself, Josh looked at the man in awe. Wearing a pair of huge shoulder and chest pads as well as a football helmet, Josh couldn't help but blush over the muscled man's football attire as he saw his hand come down to pick him up.

"Uh so what's with the get up?" Josh asked looked from Scott to Tyler.

"It's his old football gear, dude." Tyler responded with a raised eyebrow, like Josh didn't understand what it was.

"I thought it would be a cool obstacle." Scott replied with a smile through his helmet's mask. Josh simply crossed his arms, wondering where this get up could possibly be going as far as the challenge goes. Carefully, Scott brought Josh out to the living room and laid down on the floor before sliding Josh out of his hands and onto his ripped abdomen. Josh looked across the massive landscape, all the way from Scott's massive abs up to his black pads covering his shoulders and chest. Josh swallowed as he looked up at Tyler, who loomed over the two men with a smirk.

"Time for Scott's challenge!" Tyler announced with his arms up in the air with glee. "Unlike the flag hunt, this challenge is a…"

"You'll be playing capture the flag in this challenge!" Tyler exclaimed excitedly as he looked down at his slightly confused boss.

"How do we play capture the flag with one person?" Josh asked, raising his eyebrow in suspicion.

"Well we altered the rules a little, besides it's actually one on one, dude." Tyler replied as he knelt down to explain better. "See there's one flag out under Scott's pads. Your goal is to find it and bring it back to your base without getting caught by him."

Josh nodded his head. It made way more sense now, even Scott's attire made sense. He could use the pads as a hiding place before making it back, not to mention the helmet is likely to obscure Scott's vision to prevent it from being too easy for him. Still, one question went unanswered.

"Where is my base, exactly?" Josh asked as he looked up the expansive terrain of Scott's body.

"Oh? It's just his belly button, dude." Tyler responded with a smile, patting his own belly for added effect.

Josh rolled his eyes as he looked out once more, ready to make his trek across Scott's body. Looking up at Tyler, he simply gave Josh a thumbs up. Figuring that was as good a signal as ever, Josh set out at a comfortable pace. Looking over his shoulder as he made his way, he noticed Tyler wasn't holding any stop watch or timer. Figuring he wasn't on any set time limit, Josh took it easy as he worked over Scott's first pair of abs, sliding down the huge muscle with ease before working his way up the new two pairs. It took a bit of time to work his way across Scott's abdomen before reaching his chest, in fact it made crossing Tyler's body seem like a breeze! But finally reaching the edge of the pads, Josh snuck his way under the dark cushion and started his search for the flag.

The pads were incredibly sticky and smelly. Josh could only imagine how much use they must've gone through throughout all of Scott's practices and games in high school. Trying not to think about it as he was starting to get drenched in the sticky old sweat, Josh only tried to focus on pressing on through the ample darkness to find the flag. Scott's heartbeat was starting to grow ever closer till the vibrations of the huge muscle felt like it was directly below him. Figuring that must mean he's fairly close to the middle of Scott's massive chest, Josh started to feel around carefully.

- - -

"You're not gonna go easy on him are you dude?" Tyler asked quietly as he eyes Scott's face under his helmet suspiciously

"Nah dude… of course not." Scott responded half heartedly. Just as the words escaped Scott's lips he felt a slight tickle start to squirm it's way out from under his chest pads. Looking down he saw his tiny boss, holding an ever smaller red square, peek his way out from under his pads. Biting his lip, Scott reached out his hand and…

THUD!

The floor shook in a sudden and violent quake when the massive weight of Scott came crashing down on the floor beside Tyler. Due to the shock, Tyler's head bumped back and fourth quickly as it thudded back down on the floor to it's resting position. Out of reflex, Tyler swallowed hard and sat up straight.

"Dude!" Tyler yelled to his side at Scott who reared back slightly.

"Sorry…" Scott replied as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Looking back to Tyler however, he noticed his friend start to reach for the string that was still poking out of his mouth. "Everything ok?"

"I swallowed something." Tyler said casually as he started to pull on the string and slowly reeling it in from the interior of his mouth. Scott's face went a little pale as he watched Tyler pull on the string, hoping he wasn't unintentionally the reason for his new boss to end up as part of Tyler's dinner. Relief spread across Scott's face however as Tyler pulled out the end of the string, tiny boss dangled at the end.

"Oh good." Tyler said nonchalantly as he watched his tiny saliva covered friend sway back and fourth slightly in front of his face. "I was worried I was gonna have to puke up a good meal!"

Josh meanwhile held on to the string with both hands as he looked down awkwardly at the comment, hoping this little scare would cause Tyler to forget about the game. His luck wasn't that good however as Tyler's eyes narrowed slightly to look closer at Josh. "So where's the flag?"

Biting his lip, Josh knew the answer all too well but still hoped there was some way out of this. "You're worried about that after you almost ate me?!"

"Yeah but I didn't." Tyler said with a playful smile. "So where is it?"

One more Josh hoped he could change the subject, but in the end he figured Tyler's persistence would pay off. "It's because of this irresponsible game that you almost ate me in the first place!"

"You dropped it didn't you?" Tyler responded as he ignored whatever Josh actually said.

"Yes…" Josh murmured as he looked down in defeat.

"That's what I swallowed, huh?" Tyler smirked as he watched Josh hang his head down lower.

"Yeah…" Josh answered knowing what was coming next.

"Then I win!" Tyler exclaimed excitedly as he threw his hands into the air, dragging Josh off with them on the string at high speeds. Bringing them back down his his face however, he stopped and watched his tiny friend readjust to the elevation.

"Now hold on!" Josh replied as his head still spun painfully. "How is my fault that you swallowed the stupid flag?"

Tyler took his free hand and placed it on his chin for a moment in thought. "Now you actually have a point there…"

"Thank y--" Josh started to say as Tyler cut him off.

"Yeah it's mix of your's and Scott's faults." Tyler answered quickly as he looked over from Josh to Scott.

"Me?" Scott replied shocked as he put a hand on his chest.

"Yeah dude. It's Josh's fault he dropped it and your fault I swallowed it." He said matter-of-factly.

Josh rolled his eyes as he still hung there dangling in front of Tyler. "That doesn't make any sen--"

"So it's settled then. You both lose!" Tyler interrupted once more. Josh crossed his arms as he looked over at Scott who looked as confused as ever. "Scott, tomorrow at work you're going to be my bitch. Josh you still get to spend the night with me… taped to my stomach instead though."

Sighing in relief, being taped to Tyler's stomach didn't seem nearly as bad as his sweaty pit. Looking over at Scott, he felt a little bad he got drug into this now too. Looking at his face he looked confused and a bit concerned. Feeling bad, Josh figured he might at least try to get Scott off the hook. "Hey, Ty. Don't make him do that."

"Sorry dude, you guys have to share in the misery of loss." Tyler replied as he dangled Josh back up in front of a toothy grin of his.

"Isn't there anyway we can change your mind?" Josh asked hopefully as he watched Tyler pick the three remaining flags off his body and tossing them aside.

"Not unless you find a way to get that flag out of my gut!" Tyler laughed happily as he gave his tanned abs a couple of pats. Josh shuttered at the thought. Sure it was possible, he was even already tied to a string, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to go through with that just for his and Scott's sake. Looking over at Scott he still looked a little off with a fairly blank look on his face. Unsure, Josh decided to…

"Well… I am tied to a string… maybe I could go in after it?" Josh asked half-assedly. Scott's head perked up at the notion and looked over at Josh questionably. Meanwhile Tyler simply laughed at the idea.

"Now that sounds interesting!" Tyler replied with an enthusiastic smile. Holding the string in front of his face though, he lowered it so Josh was just dangling at his abdomen. "String's a little short though, we'll have to tie on another piece or something."

Tyler handed Josh to Scott who took him with quite a bit of surprise while Tyler walked off into the bathroom. Dangling in front of Scott's chest, Josh looked up as Scott started to talk to him. "You don't have to do this, dude."

"It's fine. I made up my mind." Josh replied with a smile, knowing Scott really didn't want to be Tyler's bitch and not to mention him getting drug into this was partially his fault after all. Scott frowned while he looked down at his tiny boss as Tyler reappeared with the box of floss in hand. Pulling out a long strand, he measured it from mouth down past his stomach for a little slack. Cutting it off, Tyler retrieved Josh from Scott and tied the extra floss on the end in a knot. Finally, Tyler set Josh down holding him in the palm of his hand. Looking up at his massive and eager friend, Josh swallowed nervously as he was truly in awe over the size of the stud that he was agreeing to go inside of. Shaking off his nervousness, Josh took the moment to try and negotiate terms.

"So would you say the stakes are a little higher in this game, Ty?" Josh asked with a slight hint of fear in his words.

"Yeah dude, wanna sweeten the deal?" Tyler replied with a cocky smirk on his face.

"If I can get the flag, you have to be Scott's bitch for a week and we get to do whatever I want for the rest of the night." Josh spoke as confidently as he could.

"Fine with me. If I win I want you to do whatever I want for a week." Tyler replied as he looked over at Scott. "Scott you can get off easy this time, bud."

Scott smiled with relief, glad he wasn't on the negative end of the bet anymore. Deciding he could relax, the massive teen grabbed a chair and pulled it over into the room, ready to watch these events unfold. Meanwhile, Tyler grabbed the red plastic cup they used earlier to blindfold Josh and strode into the kitchen with Josh to fill it with a little water. Satisfied with the amount, Tyler took a little sip as he walked back out into the living room with Scott. Holding the cup and looking down at Josh, Tyler was ready to start the challenge.

"You have 5 minutes from the time I swallow you, dude. After that I'm pulling you up." Tyler said as he motioned to Scott who pulled back out the stopwatch he used before. "I ain't puking you up if you get stuck, so make sure that floss is tied really good around you, bud."

Josh looked down at the knot he had on his waist and tightened it just to be sure, all the while wondering if Tyler was serious or not. Either way, Josh knew there wasn't anyway for that to happen as he finished his knot, extra tight. Looking up at his handsome friend, Josh nodded. Quickly, Tyler lifted Josh up to his face, opening his massive mouth for him to enter once more. Taking a deep breath, Josh braced himself as Tyler tilted him into his cavernous mouth. Quickly closing it behind his little friend, Tyler took a large swig of his water and swallowed the gulp down.

"Alright start the timer." Tyler said with a smirk as he looked over at Scott. With a click, the clock started ticking.

"You seem pretty confident, dude." Scott said as he watched Tyler rub his chest pompously.

"Well sure dude, that flag is probably nothing more than red pulp by now!" Tyler bolstered confidently.

Scott scratched his head. "Dunno I guess it might be."

- - -

Holding his breath as he rushed down the dark tube, Josh closed his eyes until finally he plummeted into an open cavern. Surfacing from the shallow pool and taking a deep breath, Josh immediately regretted the decision as he started to cough and choke on the fowl air. It took a moment for his eyes to make out his surrounding in the pitch black depths of the stomach but slowly he was able to make out dark shapes in the chamber. Mainly what he could make out was the rhythmic contractions and swaying of the walls of Tyler's stomach as it slowly churned what what was left of his meal earlier, making slight groaning and sloshing noises as it worked.

Eyes starting to sting, and skin starting to tingle, Josh instantly started moving from his position well aware of how dangerous of an environment his friend's stomach was. Splashing around, Josh began his search through the mounds of chewed up food and pools of liquid, desperately trying to find anything that felt remotely papery. Searching for what felt like a long time in the hellish pit, Josh…

Josh had noticed a red mushy pile and was heading for it. He was cut short as the string yanked him up, squeezing the air out of his lungs and swaying him above the acid lake. He resigned and let Tyler pull him through his throat and out of his mouth, hanging right in front of the two gigantic lips.

--

Tyler kept a serious face, but he was beaming inside. How fun it was winning the bet, and how fun it was going to be pushing Josh's limits, making him do all the things he quite couldn't get away with as bullying! He kept his tiny boss at mouth level, not even granting him a look. Sure, they were friends, but there was something about Josh being tiny… Well, it was obvious he loved being toyed with, and Tyler now had a great excuse to go wild. He smirked and let out a long belch right in Josh's face.
"Say it, bug."

Josh was slightly taken aback. He knew Tyler would get arrogant, but he had hoped he'd get a break after going in and out of his friend's stomach.
"You won the bet," he sighed. "Now what?"

Scott sat up and looked at Tyler. It felt strange seeing his boss not fight back. Surely that was normal between Josh and Tyler.
"Yeah, now what? I don't feel like playing another game. Besides I'm feeling tired."
"That's fair," Tyler replied. "Tiny pip should get some rest too, there's a rough week ahead for him."
He sat heavily in the sofa and propped his left foot on his knee. He grabbed Josh and pressed him face first into his big toe, then used the string to tie him tight, making sure he couldn't move an inch. He threw a cushion onto one arm of the sofa and laid down, his foot propped up on the other arm, flexing his toes.
"There goes Josh for the night! Hope you have a good one, dude. I'm talking to you, Scott, of course."
Scott shrugged, bid both friends goodnight and went to his room.

--

Josh was pressed so deep into Tyler's worked-up flesh that he could barely breathe the male-scented air. His arms were tied hugging the giant digit, and he couldn't kick his legs. All he could do was to endure this position for the night. And he couldn't complain about it. He knew his friend well, and he knew he would make his life even worse if he tried to fight back. He rested his head into the plump flesh and tried to drift asleep.

Lifting the soggy substance, Josh moved it close to his face, making out a distinct red color amidst the pitch black darkness. It had to be the flag, it was about the right size even though it was seemingly fairly saturated in Tyler's stomach juices. Either way, Josh smiled to himself, pleased that he could find the flag and put Tyler back in his place. Turning his body and reaching behind him, Josh reached for the string that would pull him up and out of this putrid cavern. Josh's stomach dropped as he found, much to his dismay, the string was gone.

"How?!" Josh scrambled as he ran his hands down into various liquids on the floor, burning his hands slightly in the process. Moving as quick as he can through the darkness, Josh looked everywhere hoping to find some trace of the string. Josh's head started to spin as everything in the depths of his friend's stomach started to look the same and the lack of breathable air was starting to make his head swim a little. Tearing around the enormous organ as quickly as he could, the only thing Josh could think about were Tyler's words about not puking him up.

"He'd never do that to me!" Josh screeched as his legs started to burn more. Seemingly the water Tyler drank before was already being over taken by stomach acid. Looking around desperately, Josh knew he didn't have much time to find the string.

- - -

"Ten seconds, dude." Scott said eagerly as he looked from Tyler's stomach up to his mouth, hand ready to pull the string up and out. "5… 4… 3… 2… 1…"

The timer stopped and Tyler wasted no time as he started to pull up the string. trying not to tug too fast, both so he wouldn't choke and also out of some consideration for his tiny friend. Tyler tugged for what seemed like a few minutes until finally pulling it out. Scott and Tyler looked at the end of the string and saw…

"Damn it." Tyler said simply as he looked at the empty end of the string. Dropping it to the floor he rested a hand on his tanned abs and sighed. "I knew this would happen."

"You were joking though, right?" Scott asked cautiously, recalling what he told Josh moments before sending him down into his gut. "About not puking him up?"

"Yeah of course I was." Tyler replied defensively. "I only told him that so he'd be extra careful!"

"Oh I gotcha." Scott said shaking his head in understanding, feeling like he understood how Josh and Tyler worked a little better. Still he couldn't help but look down at Tyler's stomach in concern for his tiny boss. "So you want me to grab a bucket or…?"

"I was thinking…" Tyler said with a devious smile. "Maybe I'd leave him in there for a little while. Teach him a lesson about responsibility or something."

Scott scratched his head. He wasn't any kind of science expert, let alone anatomy, but he couldn't help but feel like it was a bad idea. "Is that a good idea, dude? Won't he get like.. all digested or whatever?"

Tyler chuckled as he reached up to put a hand on Scott's shoulder. "Dude, I drank a bunch of water, he'll be ok for for at least a little while. In fact…"

Tyler grabbed the cup of water he had and drained the rest of it in one gulp. "See, he'll be ok."

Scott looked down at Tyler with a little relief in his eyes. To Scott, Tyler seemed like a really smart guy, and he seemed to genuinely care about Josh. So he figured what Tyler was doing must have been for Josh's betterment. Still, he shifted a little uncomfortably the more he thought about Josh trapped inside Tyler's stomach. Looking at Scott's face, Tyler smiled knowing he was just worried about the little guy.

"Hey dude, if it'll make you feel better we can let him out now." Tyler said, caving in to Scott's sad look. Scott smiled, happy to know Tyler caught on to his distress.

Feeling a little better Scott looked at Tyler and replied…

"Nah dude, if you think he should learn a lesson then you're probably right." Scott said with a trusting smile. Tyler took his hand off Scott's shoulder as he nodded approvingly.

"Yeah don't worry about him for now, we'll do something else to preoccupy ourselves, dude." Tyler said happily, winking and giving Scott a thumbs up. Looking around the room, Tyler started to brainstorm ideas to himself. While he thought about it, Tyler retreated to the kitchen and refilled his cup with a fresh supply of water before returning and stating the obvious. "I'll tell you what we aren't doing. Studying!"

Scott laughed as Tyler moved his hand up for a high five. With a triumphant slap, Scott couldn't agree more about skipping out on studying. After everything that's happened over the course of the evening, he totally forgot that's what they were all here for in the first place! Smiling wide from the awesome high five, Tyler walked past Scott and headed over to a TV he had in the living room. Looking on the ground he noticed an Xbox with two controllers.

"Dude you game?" Tyler asked excitedly as he picked up a controller.

"Yeah we have the Wii tucked away somewhere too. Bri likes those Mario games. She refuses to play Madden with me though." Scott replied as he crossed his arms, disappointed as he thought about it.

"Dude, I'll play you in Madden. As long as you don't mind getting your ass kicked!" Tyler taunted playfully as he backed his way down onto the couch and plopped down into the cushion. Scott smiled as he strode his way over to retrieve the other controller before seating himself next to Tyler with a massive thud. "Easy dude! You're causing quakes again!"

Scott chuckled as he turned to see Tyler patting his stomach gently, hoping he didn't rough the waters too bad for his little boss down there. Tyler took a decent chug of his water as he watched Scott boot up the game.

- - -

A fresh stream of water poured itself into Tyler gurgling belly. Letting himself get drenched in the water, Josh sighed with relief. It was the only bit of solace he's had in what felt like an extremely long time. He knew the bliss would be short lived, as Tyler's stomach certainly wasn't about to stop doing the only thing it knows what to do. Digest everything inside of it. Already he could start to feel the tingles come back to his skin, as well it was also becoming soft and tender to touch. Working his way around the exterior of the stomach, Josh tried desperately to stay away from the center of the lake of liquid, almost sure it would dissolve him quite quickly at this point.

Moving his hand to reach one of the constantly churning walls, Josh accidentally touched it briefly with his hand. The sticky mucus that lined the stomach quickly stuck to his hand as he desperately tried to pull it all away. Unfortunately, that's not all that was coming off the wall of the vicious organ. Acid seeped down the wall directly on Josh's arm as he pulled away. Tears in his eyes from immense pain, Josh felt like his arm had been almost completely severed from the horrid liquid. Everything started to go numb as he sloshed his way hopelessly to a different part of his friend's stomach.

"I can't believe he really left me down here…" Josh cried, tears streaming down his face as a fresh stream of water started to flood it's way into the cavern. Unable to brace himself, the torrent carried him immediately to the center of the stomach, the very place he was hoping to avoid. With his one good arm Josh tried to keep afloat as somewhat diluted acid slowly started to eat away at the entire rest of his body. With one last breath, Josh submerged, quickly sinking to the very pit of Tyler's stomach. Finally, Tyler's stomach could fulfill it's purpose and digest anything or anyone dumb enough to go inside of it.

- - -

"Dude! You're totally cheating!" Tyler yelled after about an hour's worth of play. The game was certainly grueling, but in the end Scott was victorious.

"Maybe you're just bad?" Scott replied with a snarky tone. Tyler smiled as he started to set up another game.

"Ohh a smart guy now all of a sudden?" Tyler taunted playfully with the gigantic teen.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Scott replied, confused as ever. Tyler simply laughed as he started up another game, hoping for a little better luck in beating Scott this time. As the game loaded, Tyler unconsciously rubbed his stomach as he felt a small amount of gas surge it's way up.

"Buuuurrrp!" Tyler exhaled the watery sounding burp as he readied his hands on the controller. "Alright! Let's do this!"

- - -

Several hours and many games later Tyler finally won. Ecstatic over his first victory he couldn't help but jump out of his seat, throwing his arms up into the air with a loud "Woooooo!"

Scott laughed as he clapped for the happy man, glad he'd finally stopped moaning over him "cheating". "Not bad dude, 1-7 in the end."

"Woah dude… we played 8 games?" Tyler replied looking at the clock in shock. He had been here for hours at this point and it was already past midnight! "Man! It's been hours! I gotta… get home dude!"

Scott stood up and pulled Tyler in for a friendly bro hug. He couldn't help but smile, glad he was able to make a friend in this new town after all. Helping Tyler grab his bag and seeing him out the door, he waved excitedly as Tyler said they should hang out and play Madden again sometime. Closing the door, Scott yawned as he made his way into his bedroom and got ready to go to sleep.

Walking out of the apartment complex, Tyler beamed over having finally beat Scott. He might not be the smartest guy in the world, but he sure did play Madden like a real champ. Catching a late bus home, Tyler yawned with sleepiness as he dropped his bag on the floor at the entrance of his apartment. Getting ready for bed, Tyler went about his usual routine before entering his bedroom. Pulling off his shorts he slipped under his sheets wearing nothing but his spandex. Drifting quickly off to sleep, Tyler laid peacefully as he was unaware of what remained of his boss being processed in his body.

- - -

Waking up the next morning, Tyler rolled out of bed and shuffled his way to the bathroom. Pulling down his compression shorts, he sat down on the toilet while he brushed his teeth and let the shower heat up. Finished with his business, he turned and flushed as he sleepily made his way into the shower.

After getting dressed, Tyler sat on his couch for a second as he set his morning protein down on his coffee table. Stretching as he rubbed his empty belly, Tyler started to wonder how the day at the park will be today.

"I'll get to see Scott and… Josh…" Tyler thought to himself before exclaiming out loud. "Shit."

Josh screamed as he fell to the floor landing hard on the tile flooring of the kitchen. Somehow, Josh stood up, seemingly unhurt he checked his arms and legs and found he only had a few minor bruises. "That was lucky…" He thought as he looked across the floor.

Josh fell to the opposite side of the table of Tyler and Scott, so he looked under the table and past the center support piece to see the giant men's bare feet sticking slightly under the shadow of the table. Looking around Josh remembered he never designed a way to get up off the floor from the kitchen, only from the lounge since he had a little seat raised slightly off the ground for watching the giant tv.

Walking under the table he slowly approached Scott's huge feet. they still seemed to be a little wet from the park so they glistened brightly as he made his approach. "I could try and get their attention. Would be easier than walking all the way out into the lounge…" Josh thought as he made his way only a stones throw away from Scott's enormous feet. Josh watched as Tyler moved forward next to Scott, seeing the four feet next to each other.

The collection of feet did make it a little hard to breath, though their foot smell wasn't as bad as it could be since they were barefoot for the whole morning already, though Josh wasn't too interested in taking it in for much longer.

Josh jumped as the table started to shake once again. "Right… they're pretty distracted… they might not even notice me if I try to get their attention…" Josh thought as he was thinking going to the lounge might just be the safer option.

Josh waited for the tremors to stop once more and made his decision to…

Josh makes his decision. "They're right there, so they can find me if I try."

Josh gets closer to Scott's foot, now in the shadow of his big toe. All that water has done something else to his sole and toes. The surface is puffy and waterlogged - the skin has expanded and deepens the natural furrows in it. It might be tricky to signal Scott this way, but it's worth a try. After all, the new guy has to show that he can put his faith in him as an employee.

Josh hits the base of the big toe. The skin twitches, but it's too small to be a reaction to him. Josh keeps his distance from the wall as he walks towards the gap between the big and second toe. The skin here would probably be thinner than where he tried earlier. Josh reaches to hit the new surface, now standing on his toes as well. He has to be ready if Scott's foot reacts to the point where he turns his tiny boss into a bloody smear.

Josh hits the gap between toes. The toes now reach out and pull back in reaction, as if they're pawing the floor. Josh makes no hesitation to jump aside. He returns to the table's shadow to watch Scott's foot. It resumes its natural position, as if nothing happened.

"Yeesh, it's not easy getting though to this guy," Josh sighs. He is left with a few options…

“So…like…THIS?”

Scott presses his hand onto the dummy once more. Tyler looks at him in utter disbelief. The test dummy now had a large dent in its torso where Scott’s hand used to be.

“Uh…no. Just…no, bro.” Tyler said, patting Scott on the shoulder in the leader in the least condescending way possible. Scott visibly slumped a little, like a puppy, clearly disappointed in himself. Tyler picked up on this and tried to cheer him up. “Well hey man, you uh…you just don't know your own strength! So uh…let’s take a break. We shouldn’t work this dummy too hard.”

Scott looked a little persistent.

“Oh, no it’s okay. I don’t think I’ve worked too hard, really. I can keep going.”

Tyler just stood for a minute, confused, until what Scott said finally hit him.

“No, I wasn’t calling you a…sigh…um…yeah let’s just take a break for a bit.” Ty then gestured to the couch across the room. “You can take a seat over there. I’ll grab us some Gatorades.” The trainer said, walking over to the fridge.

“Alright. Thanks, bro.” Scott replied. He then started walking over to the couch, his bubble butt bouncing a bit as he did. He was completely unaware of his hitchhiker.

=====
=====

After what seemed like hours of climbing Scott’s slightly damp leg, Josh had finally made it past the huge mound that was Scott’s ass. He was hoping that the touch of a sensitive area like that would alert the lifeguard to be, but Scott was apparently very focused on trying to get the dummy thing right. It was a good quality to have in an employee, but it didn’t help Josh out much in the whole “getting noticed” thing. The tiny man was exhausted. But he couldn’t take a break just yet. The plump “ground” beneath him was starting to move a lot more than last time.

“Huh? Where is he going?” Josh wondered as he clung to Scott’s shorts for dear life. He didn’t have to wait a long time to find an answer, though. His view shifted as Scott reached the couch. The massive man turned 180 degrees. And then Josh saw the butt’s destination. The couch seat below.

“Oh no…no no nO NO WAIT, SCOTT DON’T SIT DO--”

====
====

Tyler peeked his head out of the cooler just in time to see Scott land with a big plop on the couch beneath him. He almost felt bad for the couch. That much muscle weight would be a lot to bear, even for an inanimate object. But Ty quickly shook the thoughts of Scott’s ass crushing insignificant things out of his head.

“Yo, catch!” Ty said, throwing the orange Gatorade at Scott.

Ever the athlete, Scott caught the drink with no problem. He opened it, and then started to chug it as Tyler walked over. By the time Ty had taken a seat, Scott’s drink was already completely downed. Ty laughed a bit, looking over to the man next to him.

“Damn, man. That’s impressive.” he said, opening his own sports drink.

Scott opened his mouth to say something, but a slight burp escaped his lips instead. “Uh, sorry.”

Tyler smirked, then responded with a louder burp of his own. “Don’t be.” he said. It made Scott smile and soften up a little, before a new worried look formed on the newbie’s face.

“Hey, uh…Ty? Do you think like…Josh is gonna think i’m like…a pain in the ass to work with? I’m not getting this as fast as I should be, and…”

Tyler cut him off. “What? Nah. Calm down, Scott. You? A pain in the ass? Hah, no. Only pain in the ass he has to deal with is me. And he KISSES my ass, so…” Tyler shrugged and took another sip of his drink. Scott laughed again at Ty’s relaxed attitude. He shifted his butt in his seat a little, scooting backward to get more comfortable.

The red mark that Josh's body left behind would never be recognized. Even by the pervy park goers who would secretly stare at Scott’s awesome ass.

“It’s no use,Scott is too focused on the training dummy.”

Josh turns his attention to Tyler’s feet.His feet were thankfully less waterlogged,meaning Tyler would definitely feel Josh’s punches on his foot.Unfortunately there was less chlorinated water to dilute the smell of sweat coming from Tyler.

Emboldened by his swift escape from Scott’s toes,Josh stood in between Tyler’s toes,ready to strike and dodge any subconscious movements.

He quickly strikes and…

There you go man,you’re getting it!” Tyler congratulated Scott on his most recent session with the CPR dummy.”You finally nailed the 100 chest compressions down,sure,but you’re still WAY too rough dude! Everyone you save is going to wind up bruised. Here,let me show you how it’s done.”

Pulling the dummy closer to himself,Tyler leaned forward and got into position over the dummy and began his compressions,done as quickly and effortlessly as the trained lifeguard that he is. Making sure Scott was keeping his attention on him as he worked on the dummy,Tyler ignored the ticklish sensation he had felt on his foot.
———
Down on the ground by the two men’s feet,Josh hid behind the table leg,still jumpy from just having avoided Tyler’s feet as he shifted to teach Scott proper technique. A little upset that he hadn’t been rescued from this situation yet,Josh figured that he simply didn’t hit hard enough to get his attention.If his fists weren’t going to work,Josh was going to have to get more aggressive.

Walking back into position between Tyler’s toes,which were now tense as the colossal lifeguard focused on applying force on the dummy,Josh placed his hands on the smelly and wet skin in between Tyler’s toes,and bit down on the soft skin.Josh quickly regretted this,stepping back and gagging at the awful taste of sweat in his mouth.Josh was not paying attention to his surroundings right now.
——-
“Come on Tyler,that’s basically how hard I was pushing before.What’s a little more strength even going to do?” Scott scratched the back of his head,unsure of how he was supposed to focus on softening his pushes while trying to remember about 100 compressions.

Tyler shook his head at the rookie lifeguard and looked back at the dummy. “Imagine this dummy was Josh,and we just saved him from drowning,right? Yes,it’s extremely important that you remember how many compressions you need,but you have to remember that most people are smaller than us,even before being shrunken.”

Feeling the nagging itch return with a vengeance,Tyler quickly clenched and rubbed his toes together.He could have sworn he felt something solid between them,but with continued rubbing he only felt the slick moisture from his sweat.Figuring it was just his imagination,Scott soon snapped him out of his thoughts.

“I think I see what you mean.We’re lifeguards,we’re supposed to be saving people.I couldn’t imagine Josh being in danger and we just accidentally crush the little guy. That reminds me,didn’t he say he was going to join us by now?”

Moving quickly,Josh made it back to the table’s shade as he saw Tyler’s toes slowly wriggle at the strange sensation Josh made,leading Tyler to look down.

“It worked! Hey Tyler,I’m right here,I fell off the table but I’m okay,I didn’t break anything!” Josh waved his arms at his massive friend,glad he could always count on Tyler when in need.
————
Tyler frowned slightly when he felt a sharp prick between his toes. Glancing down,he spotted the slightest movement from a small speck almost hidden in the shadows made by the table. “Check this out,Scott.An ant got into the kitchen.”

Glad to take a break from the training dummy,Scott could barely see the ant Tyler pointed out,the bug seemingly just waving its antenna at them,like it was trying to intimidate the massive men.” What about it dude,did it bite you? You’ll live.”

“Yeah,to us it’s harmless,but think about what it can do to our shrunken guests.” Suddenly Tyler smirked,an idea having suddenly formed in his head.”Alright Scott,why don’t you show me what we do to bugs who walk into our park.”

Catching on quickly,Scott smirked right back.”Well If it keeps the park safe,I guess I’ll take on this vicious predator.” Looking down at the bug again,it seemed to be slowly making its way to the table leg.shaking his head at this,Scott casually lifted the table with the training dummy and placed it aside,leaving the bug exposed out in the light.

Slowly lifting his massive foot over the slowly moving ant,Scott wondered what kind of thoughts are going through its head.Did it know what was about to happen to it,or was it still just mindlessly searching for its next meal. Figuring it didn’t matter,Scott quickly stomped his foot down right on the ant with enough force to shake the plates and cups in the cabinets.

Scott lifted his foot and spotted a tiny stain on his big toe.“So Tyler,did I pass the test?”

Tyler chuckled and shook his head,turning his attention to the training dummy.”Yeah man,you sure aced this one.Josh can rest easy knowing you’re keeping the park safe.”

"I've decided that…" Josh stopped as the monstrous teenage stood up. Josh held his breath as the insanely large man walked over. Kneeling down, Scott tried his best to come down on Josh's level. Unfortunately, the balcony was still at about chest height as all Josh had was a magnificent view of Scott's well trained pecs.

Looking down Scott spoke with his deep voice. "Before you decide, I have an offer for you."

Puzzled Josh looked up, trying to see past the young man's chest. Hoping to gauge what he means based off his expression.

"You like being small right man? I like being big." He started simply while waiting for a response from the tiny man.

"Y-yes?" Josh answered nervously. Concerned where this was going he started to back up.

"Dude look.." He said putting up his hands. "You don't have to run, I'm not gonna hurt you."

Stopping, Josh swallowed hoping what the huge man said is true.

Putting his hand back down on his lap, the colossal teen spoke calmly once more. "I need this job. I'm not cut out for this interviewing shit. I know I did a shitty job answering your questions. So I'm willing to make you an offer, if it helps score me this job."

Interested, Josh relaxed his footing a little. Looking up at the behemoth of a teen, he figured he'd bite. "What kind of an offer are you talking about?"

Scooting down even more, the over sized teenager tried his best to look at the tiny man as seriously as he could. "Like I said, You like being small and I like being big… If there was anything you wanted to… do…" He said ambiguously. "I'd be willing to help you out. If you're interested that is, little guy." He added with a captivating tone as he winked at the little man.

Turning red at the proposition Josh had to look down. This was definitely not appropriate he thought… but the handsome giant was so willing to indulge him in his many tiny fantasies. Thinking for a second Josh decided….

… to hire Scott. Josh chose his next words carefully.

"Scott, your proposal is certainly interesting. There are a few things that I have always wanted to try while being tiny. If I could indulge these things with you, and you are perfectly fine with the whole thing, then you will definitely be hired." Josh stated.

Grinning from ear to ear, Scott looked extremely happy with this news. "Thanks, man! I really needed this job! I would do anything for it!" he started.

"But what happens between us, stays between us. Alright, Scott?" Josh interjected. Scott nodded his head in agreement, and even made a zipping gesture across his mouth to signify that his lips are sealed.

"Not a problem, boss. I won't speak a word of this. So, um, what do you have in mind that you want to do?" Scott asked.

Josh was taken aback. Now? He wanted to do stuff now? He stood there on his balcony, pondering all the things he secretly fantasized about; things that he had never told anyone about. He was drawing a blank on what he wanted to do with this hulking teen that was right in front of him, waiting for an answer.

"Like I said," Scott spoke, "I will do anything for this job." Scott winked, and Josh blushed again.

Josh decided that he wanted to…

"I guess…" Josh started to say sheepishly. "I've always kind of wondered what it would be like to explore the inside of a gigantic mouth…"

Scott tilted his head slightly as Josh looked at the huge teen's handsome face as it hung right in front of him. Scott let out a low rumbling laugh with a huge toothy smile, showing off his fantastic pearly whites as he did so. "Huh, I hadn't even thought about how you could fit in my mouth, boss!"

"What did you think then?" Josh asked, curiously. Mostly hoping to detract Scott's brain from how odd it might be to have a tiny human in his mouth.

Scott scratched his chin as he thought for a moment. "I guess I mostly thought about you crawling around on my body, or on the floor or something. You know, loom over you like a giant from a movie or something!"

"I mean we could do that too eventually, if you want." Josh blushed, thinking about seeing Scott towering over him in his full 6'11" massive hieght.

"Next time!" Scott smiled. "Besides, you said you wanted to go in my mouth. That sounds sweet, dude!" Scott beamed before looking serious for a moment. "Sorry. I mean, boss."

"That's ok Scott." Josh reassured the enormous and polite teen. "When you and I are alone like this… like having our giant and tiny time… you don't have to be polite. Actually I'd prefer if you acted more… giant-like."

"I think I understand." Scott answered with kind of a dumb confused look on his face. Scott's face contorted slightly, and Josh watched as he throat moved a little before the giant teen let a small yet deep burp out on Josh. "Like less polite like that?"

"Yes!" Josh answered as the strong smelling belch washed over him. "Except don't ask me every time. Just do whatever comes natural like you just did!"

"Ok!" Scott answered excitedly as he quickly got into character by suddenly scooping Josh off his feet and into his hand. Scott lifted Josh up with him as he stood up to his full hieght, hovering Josh above his face as he stared down at it taking in every feature from his flawless jawline to his deep dreamy blue eyes. Josh watched as his massive mouth opened wide, tongue shooting out like a gigantic pink welcome mat as Scott started to tilt his hand and lower it to his impending maw. Josh lost his grip as he slid off the teens hand, falling for a moment before landing with a wet splat and seeing nothing but pink all around him. Looking around, he could see rows of perfect white teeth behind him, still wide open as Scott kept his mouth open. Turning and looking to his sides, Josh saw where the teens massive teeth ended before he could make out the pockets of his cheeks. Turning forward Josh saw in his mind the most majestic, yet terrifying sight he had ever witnessed, Scott's humongous throat. With each breath the huge teen took, Josh could see his throat move slightly as Scott's epiglottis covered and uncovered the path down his wind pipe. Josh couldn't help but be transfixed by Scott's uvula however, as it swung ever so slightly above the throat. It was easily the size of a building to the tiny explorer.

- - -

Scott stood there, mouth open as he stared off across the room. He really wasn't sure what he should be doing, as he didn't want to move too much and send his tiny boss hurdling across his mouth. Scott tried to think for a minute to himself… "What can I do to be more giant-like?"

Deciding to just go with the first thought that comes to his mind, Scott closed his mouth. Scott wasn't entirely sure what the action did, but he went with it as he tried to come up with an idea to do next. Trying to feel the tiny speck of a man inside his mouth, Scott inadvertently started to swish the little man around his mouth, like a tiny piece of food. Realizing what he was doing, Scott stopping moving Josh around his mouth and opened it up very slightly to let in a little air. Scott took the moment to realize just how easy it was to do whatever he wanted to the tiny man.

"He's still my boss though." Scott thought to himself. "So I have to be extra careful not to chew him or something."

Scott made it a conscious effort to locate his tiny boss in his mouth, around the left side of his tongue, near his teeth, before he shifted the man more into the middle. Thinking more like a giant, Scott thought the tiny man might enjoy it if he spoke more the part. Playfully, Scott thought of fun ways he wanted to taunt his minuscule boss.

"Bet you liked that, huh?" Scott asked the little man in a somewhat bad acting arrogant tone. "You probably wish I'd let you out. But I'm not!"

Thinking he was doing a good job of acting, Scott smiled to himself, little did he know the tiny man inside his mouth was face palming himself at how unnatural Scott sounded. Scott felt a little pressure build up in his stomach again as he decided to let loose another burp, this time keeping his mouth shut, keeping his boss inside to experience it fully. He smiled to himself as little bits of air escaped his mouth before he opened it back up, letting a little fresh air in.

"Yeah, bet you loved that!" Scott continued with his poor acting. Josh was having the time of his life, however despite Scott's poor taunting ability. "I hope you don't end up slipping down my throat!"

Scott chuckled a little to himself, wondering what would happen if he really was to just swallow the tiny man. Barely passing any of his classes in high school, Scott got by being in all the applied classes as well as receiving help from numerous tutors as well as his intelligent girl friend. So thinking about what happened after you swallowed something escaped Scott's mind.

"Well… it goes into your stomach." Scott thought to himself as he traced a finger from his throat down to his ripped abdomen. "Then some stuff happens…"

Scott puzzled to himself, never really thinking about the process from food to well… shit. "Takes awhile." Scott continued to think silently as he tried to guess how many hours after he eats before he had to take a shit. "If he'd wanna explore my mouth he'd probably like exploring my belly!"

Scott smirked thinking of the idea of surprising Josh, and how much he'd like it. He tried to think of a shooter game he played on xbox where part of the story took placed inside a giant worm.

"They were fine once they got out." He thought again to himself. Scott kept his mouth closed before he decided he would…

"I'm sure he'll love it and he's sure to be surprised!" Scott thought to himself, feeling like this was a really good idea. Scott very gently tilted his head back, barely feeling the tiny man in his mouth slide ever so slowly toward the back of his throat.

"Dude, I don't know where that little speck went." Scott said aloud, full well feeling Josh dangle at the very edge of his throat. "I sure hope I didn't swallow him!"

Just then Scott took a gulp, barely trying to swallow Josh but still doing so with absolute ease. Feeling that his tiny boss had successfully been sucked down his throat, Scott smirked as he wondered how the trip was going for the teensy man. "That was too easy. I bet he's having a blast though!"

Putting a finger on his throat like he did before while imagining to swallow Josh, Scott tried his best to feel for the little guy. He swore he could feel a very faint squirming for a moment before the sensation was lost inside his chest. Scott patted his chest, looking down at it trying to picture Josh's descent into his enormous stomach. Finally, the huge teen rested a hand on his impressively sculptured abs, guessing that Josh must've made his way in there by now.

"Man if it my mouth was huge, I can't imagine how massive my stomach would be!" Scott grinned to himself, feeling like he just gifted Josh with the trip of a lifetime. Once again, Scott belted a fairly large burp. He laughed as he pounded his stomach with a fist. "Hey settle down in there!"

- - -

Josh screamed as he was jostled and hurled around the massive organ. Finally, it settled down, leaving Josh to fully take in the terrifying surroundings. Having contracted now slightly from Scott's burp, his massive stomach resumed it's usual churning and mixing of it's contents. Seeping acid from the walls and groaning in deep damp sounding echoes. Josh could barely make out the huge teen's heart beat and breathing as if it sounded like miles and miles above him. In yet when Josh looked up he could only see darkness and the barely viable ceiling of Scott's wrinkly stomach. Josh thought Scott's mouth was huge, but this was a whole different story. What felt like a small stadium in the mouth suddenly turned into a expansive landscape. It was both breathtaking and horrifying.

"Why would he do this?" Josh shivered as he checked his feet carefully, lucky to see he wasn't flung in a puddle of acid or crushed under half digested food. Puzzled, Josh wasn't sure what was going to happen. He didn't know if he was going to live, or if this huge attractive idiot just swallowed him for the kicks. Looking up again as well as the massive walls of the stomach, Josh knew there was no way he could escape on his own. Plopping down on his butt with a slight squish, Josh merely gazed across the massive landscape. Having his eyes adjusted, Josh watched as everything would contract and move. Groans called out to Josh in the distance. Josh wanted to explore, feeling like he had nothing to lose, but at the same time he felt like one wrong step would send him hurtling into a lake of acid. Subjecting himself to observing, Josh decided to stay put and examine the digestive process of Scott's stomach from his safe location.

"It is pretty amazing in here though…" Josh admitted, honestly have been curious about going down Scott's throat ever since he first slide into the teen's mouth.

Meanwhile Scott…

Scott put a hand on his ripped abs and smiled. He could help but wonder how the tiny man must've been enjoying himself, but at the same time he felt like this was slightly less exciting for himself than when he was swishing Josh around in his mouth. "Maybe it's time to bring him back up then?"

Scott clenched his abs hard, trying to think of the best way to bring his tiny boss up and out of his stomach. He knew he had to puke, but for the somewhat dim-witted teenager he wasn't sure how to accomplish that task. "The only times I can remember puking were when coach would make us run laps until we puked." Scott thought to himself. The huge man simply shrugged and pulled out his phone. "Better just google it."

After a short internet search, Scott quickly learned about the gag reflex, jogging his poor memory of hearing about girls sticking their fingers down their throats in the bathroom to throw up and lose weight. Having not thought about that before, Scott looked at his fingers and frowned before shoving them as far back in his throat as he could. Gagging, Scott fought the urge to vomit instinctively before he realized again that was what he was trying to accomplish. Shoving his fingers in his throat again, Scott let his instincts go as he spewed out a healthy pool of vomit out on the tiny balcony he stood in front of. Wiping his mouth, Scott looked down at the chunks of food from his lunch before he saw a small squirming speck.

"Dude, you're out!" Scott laughed as he swept aside some of his vomit to make a drier and clearer spot for Josh to regain his bearings. Scott scratched his head as Josh seemed to still be in a bit of a tizzy. "Sorry if that was too much, dude. I kinda just went with what I thought a giant would do."

Having shook off the rush of being thrown up Josh looked up at Scott's massive body up to his face. Josh wasn't sure if he was mad at the dumb jock, or if he truly did enjoy the experience. Josh sighed, knowing Scott meant no harm. On top of that, Josh really was in awe of the whole trip. "It wasn't too much Scott, it was incredible!" Josh replied wanting to encourage Scott to be more dominating and passionate as a giant. "I really enjoyed it, it felt dangerous but at the same time I was confident in you."

"You were?" Scott questioned, as he wasn't confident in himself in that situation at all. Feeling a little big headed from Josh's words however, Scott smiled. "I mean I had it under control. Plus, I guess I'm looking forward to doing more stuff with you like that."

"Me too!" Josh beamed, glad to see Scott enjoyed it enough to willing want to keep it up. "I'd be up for going on another trip like that whenever!"

Scott laughed as he rubbed his stomach, feeling a little nauseous. "Probably not right now, my stomach is feeling a little funny."

"Well whenever you want then. You're the giant, so you're in charge!" Josh smiled, trying to keep the humongous teen encouraged. Scott looked up and smirked, feeling really good about being huge and being in charge.

"What about a little later? Like after we're all done with work?" Scott asked, still wanting to be polite.

"Absolutely. The break room will be empty so it can just be both of us till whenever we feel like." Josh smiled, now excited to get on with the day just so it can be over.

"Sounds like a plan, little man!" Scott gave Josh a thumbs up and a wink…

Hours had gone by as Josh tried to go about his day without thinking too much about the events that unfolded earlier. It was a fairly futile effort however, especially once Josh began training Scott, seeing him at his "normal" size of 6'11" compared to his own puny 5'5".Josh couldn't help but day dream, thinking of the massive teen as an even more massive giant. Regardless, time went by and soon Josh and Scott were the only two left in the park.

"So I'll meet you around in the break room, boss?" Scott asked Josh, as Josh locked up his office, waiting in anticipation for the huge man to remember their plans.

"Oh yeah, I nearly forgot!" Josh lied, fighting the urge to blush as he looked at Scott, now wearing a lifeguard's uniform of red board shorts and a red hat. Scott slung a bag of his other clothes over his massive right shoulder as he smiled down at his short boss.

"Really bro? I was looking forward to it all day!" Scott gleamed with an excited expression.

"You were?" Josh smiled, happy to see Scott was so enthusiastic. "Maybe I just got caught up in the training today, but now that it's all over I'm actually pretty excited!"

Scott came up next to Josh and put a hand on the short man's shoulder. Josh looked up at Scott, looking up past his chest as he barely measured up to the tall teen's abs. Josh fought back the urge to blush, playing it cool as the dumb jock winked at him. "It's cool seeing you like this as normal person, dude. But in a few minutes, I'll be your god."

Scott turned away, leaving Josh's side without looking back. Josh stood dumb-founded as he watched Scott stride away, eyes shifting from his massive glutes bouncing, to his ripped and beautiful back. "I wonder if he thought of some better lines?" Josh wonder to himself. "That sounded way less scripted and more confident…"

Even more eager then before, Josh quickly made his way to the break room. Josh swung open the door, wanting nothing more than to be able to see Scott again in his full giant glory. As promised, Josh saw the attractive teen make his way into the room. Josh watched as Scott pulled down his pants, revealing his tight black compression shorts he saw earlier before pulling up the shorts he wore for the interview. Not bothering to tie the short like before, Scott let them sag a little, showing off his butt and exposing the under armor brand on the front once again. Finally the huge teen simply turned his new red lifeguard's hat backwards, rather than grabbing his other one from his back. Turning around, Scott saw Josh standing by the tiny door to the break room, figuring the little man must've just came in.

"I'm all sweaty, so I think we can forget about putting on my shirt." Scott said confidently as he didn't even address as as he started walking over to the tiny man. Josh simply stared in awe as the huge teen approached him slowly. His pecs bouncing in what almost seemed like slow motion before he was suddenly looming over Josh with tremendous ease. Josh looked from the exposed under wear, up the chiseled abs, past his monumental pecs, before looking at Scott's seemingly more confident looking face from before. "I can tell you're in total amazement of me…"

Josh swallowed as he tried to form any kinds of words. This was a completely new Scott to him after all. "I-I uhh…"

"Shhh… you don't have to say word little bug." Scott smirked, still looming over Josh as he flexed his biceps high up in the air. "Just admire."

"Oh god…" Josh said aloud, staring up at Scott's perfect body. He really must've been rehearsing in his head all day, because this was not what Josh was expecting at all.

"Now then…" Scott said in a sexy deep voice. "Why don't we…"

"I was thinking we could pick up were we left off…" Scott whispered as he leaned down closer to Josh. Staring at Scott's mouth as it got closer to him, Josh knew exactly where this was going. Biting his lip in anticipation, Josh had been thinking about his trip within Scott all day, secretly hoping the sexy giant would want Josh to experience more. Scott stopped, bright white teeth smiling directly in front of Josh now as his warm breath started to wash over him.

"I think this time I'll savor you a little longer though…" Scott said softly in front of Josh as he inched his mouth in closer. Josh froze completely before Scott's lips pressed him to the floor, yelping slightly as he was crushed against the floor and Scott's soft lips before the massive teen slurped Josh into his mouth like a tiny piece of food. Standing back to his full hieght, Scott swished Josh around his mouth for a moment before walking away from the balcony and laying down on the couch in the break room, propping his head up so it was mostly flat with a slight incline toward his throat. "Mmmm delicious…"

- - -

Josh struggled and squirmed as he tried to adjust himself to the new found darkness. Sticky saliva covered his body as he finally got his bearings straight in the now familiar looking cavern. Josh was in awe that he would experience exploring the hunky teen's mouth a second time in one day. Thanks to a slight incline, Josh found himself gradually being slid down, closer and closer to Scott's massive throat. Josh screamed as Scott's head suddenly leaned straight back, causing him to nearly free fall before landing with a sticky splat. Josh held onto the soft flesh for a moment, fearing he was going to be swallowed too son once again, before he noticed he was actually clinging to the jock's massive uvula. Just as suddenly as before, Scott's head leveled back out with Josh now clinging for dear life to Scott's dangling uvula as it swung gracefully above his dark throat. Josh swallowed, he was but a mere drop from being sucked down the huge esophagus once again. Holding on tight, it seemed like Scott was moving once more.

- - -

Making his way into the bathroom, Scott flicked on a light and looked at his face in the mirror. Unsure where Josh had gone inside his gigantic mouth, Scott opened up wide, searching for the minuscule speck with the help of light pouring into his mouth. Lifting and lowering his tongue and pulling his cheeks, Scott looked and looked before his attention finally gravitated to a pale little speck on his uvula.

"How'd you manage that?" Scott asked, not really expecting a response. "Dude, my dangly thing is so much bigger than you too!"

Scott chuckled as he closed his mouth, reassured now knowing where the tiny many was located. Wanting to continue with his giant acting, Scott smirked as he decided to toy with Josh further. "Massage it, bug. Or else."

- - -

Scott's voice bellowed out over Josh. It was very loud and commanding, it sent shivers down Josh's spine as he clung to the uvula unsure how he was supposed to even massage such an enormous piece of flesh. Letting go with one hand while still clinging tightly with his legs and other hand, Josh rubbed the sticky flesh nervously as he had little more than Scott's steady breathing to encourage his actions.

Suddenly, a deep rumble gurgled from below. Noise was coming from deep withing Scott, bubbling up to his throat as Josh panicked, grabbing back onto the uvula with all his might. Seemingly Scott…

Scott's stomach started to rumble as the enormous teen remembered he scarcely got to eat anything all day long. Putting a hand on his bare abs, Scott smiled, knowing now was the best time to tease and eat his tiny prey.

"Oh man, tasting you is making my stomach upset." Scott moaned with a smirk. "I haven't eaten all day, seems like my stomach wants you to be the first thing I've had in awhile…"

- - -
"What?" Josh tried to answer from all the way in the back of Scott's throat. He didn't realize the massive teen's stomach was completely empty. "Scott, wait! Don---!"

Josh was cut short by the giant trying his best to dislodge Josh from his slippery uvula. It really didn't take that much effort before Josh toppled off, already in the back of Scott's throat, slipping down without Scott even starting to try and swallow.

"Scott!" Josh yelled with a futile effort. It was no use however, the dumb giant had already committed to his actions with an extremely unnecessarily loud gulp. Josh screamed in fear, not wanting to be the only bit of meat inside a massive hungry stomach. Josh had no choice however as Scott's massive body just did what it was made to do and drug its meals down past his beating heart of his chest before making it to the massive sphincter leading to his stadium sized stomach. Josh barely had time to process what had happened before he was being deposited in the monumental organ.

"Scott!" Josh called out inside the organ. It was no use. He could never hear him from deep within his gut. Josh simply stayed still in fear, wondering what the massive stomach had in store for him.

- - -

Scott returned to his position on the couch, laying down and running a hand up and down his stomach. It rumbled again slightly to his touch, still hungry and demanding to be filled with food. He chuckled a little to himself wondering if Josh was even big enough to be considered food to his starving gut.

Sure enough…

"Hey Josh! I just wanted to check in, you've been… gone… for… awhile…?" Tyler started to trail off as he burst through the back door, full sized and walking in on seeing a massive stranger looming over a puked filled balcony. "What the hell is going on?!"

Scott turned quickly not wanting whoever this was to get the wrong idea as he stood over the owner of the park as he was covered in puke. "Dude, I can explain!"

"Where's Josh?" Tyler asked quietly, a little anger starting to form in his voice.

"He's right here!" Scott pointed down at Josh in the midst of the vomit. "He's fine!"

"Why wouldn't he be fine?" Tyler asked, voice getting angrier still. Josh sighed, knowing the cat was out of the bag. He knew he couldn't lie to Tyler, he was his best friend after all, also he knew he couldn't throw Scott under the bus after he's seen just how good and innocent of a guy he is.

"Ty, calm down and just come over here." Josh asked Tyler politely as Tyler cautiously strode his way over, Scott moving out of the way as Tyler now stood in front of Josh, leaning down to hear his tiny friend better. Josh swallowed as he felt odd telling his best friend about this, but figured it was better to just get the truth out. "Look, this is Scott. He was worried he wasn't going to get the job, and he caught on to me liking being small, alright?"

Tyler shook his head, to him Josh enjoying the small size might as well have been common knowledge whether Josh knew he knew or not. Regardless, Josh continued, "So he offered to play the part of a giant to indulge me… and I let my emotions get the best of me and I agreed. So one thing lead to another and Scott here ended up having to throw me up."

"So wait, he ate you?" Tyler asked a little more puzzled than mad now.

"Yeah I asked to go in his mouth, then he ended up swallowing me." Josh answered as vague but honestly as he could.

"Dude…" Tyler replied, looking a little angry again. "I'm pissed."

"Ty, come on. I asked him to do it!" Josh tried to argue, not wanting Tyler to blow up over something he literally wanted.

"No, dude." Tyler looked down at Josh. "I'm pissed… because you never asked me to play a giant for you!"

"Wha… what?" Josh tilted his head.

"I mean you've spent a lot of time around me shrunk, but dude." Tyler crossed his arms and pouted. "I'd be an awesome giant god!"

"Dude, why don't you hang out with us after work then?" Scott asked Tyler, as he looked over at him, forgetting he was there for a moment.

"What?! You guys were gonna hang out after work too?" Tyler replied, looking back down at Josh. "Dude, now I'm really jealous."

Josh rolled his eyes. Tyler really was a stubborn bone head when he didn't get his way. "Ty, I just never told you about these fantasies because I thought you'd think I was weird…"

"Are you joking?" Tyler laughed. "You're my best friend, I'd never think you were weird. Plus I've always wanted to act like an arrogant giant god to you, dude."

"Just to me?" Josh rose an eyebrow in suspicion. Tyler looked away and blushed for a moment.

"No! In general. Being huge is awesome. Regardless of who the little squirt is." Tyler added arrogantly down at his friend with a smirk. Josh laughed a little, not sure how honest his huge friend was really being.

"Well then that settles it. All three of us will hang out later after work." Josh announced, like it was a formal event. "Besides, two giants are better than one, right?"

"You're damn right!" Tyler belted as he turned to Scott. Tyler put out a hand, indicating for the massive teen to shake it. "I'm Tyler, looking forward to being god with you."

"Same, bro. I'm Scott." Scott smiled as he shook Tyler's hand.

"Aside from Josh, what the hell do you eat, bro?" Tyler asked as he had to look up at Scott, as he was quite a bit taller and bigger than him. "You're built like a tank, dude."

"I dunno, bro. I just eat a lot." Scott answered, not really ever putting much thought into it. "Doctor says I'm still growing too."

"Right, you're only 19." Josh chimed in. "I keep forgetting you're so young, especially seeing you side by side with Ty."

"Nobody asked you, squirt." Tyler smirked as he leaned in close and blew a little air out his mouth, knocking Josh off his feet as Tyler chuckled. Sitting up, Josh blushed a little as he say Tyler back away and ignore him to go back to talking to Scott. Josh's mind raced, perplexed at how incredible it was that Tyler would just demean him like that before ignoring him completely. Josh sat in a daze as the two talked and laughed. He barely registered what they were saying as he couldn't help but stare back and fourth at the two massive hunks. All Josh knew was he couldn't wait for the day to be over…

- - -

Hours later, the park was finally being shut down. Scott did well his first day, learning some life guarding basics after he got put into uniform. Josh couldn't help but stare on an occasion, looking from his handsome face to his perfect abs, abs he had been surprised to be trapped behind earlier. As strange as it was to think about, Scott acted very normal and polite the whole day, Tyler on the other hand incessantly teased Josh any opportunity he had. Mind racing, Josh made his way to the tiny entrance to the break room, knowing full well that there were two massive hulking giants waiting for him on the other side. Taking a deep breath, knowing this was what he wanted, Josh opened the door.

Looking out into the massive room, Josh took in all the sights, from the kitchen, to the door to a little gym, all the way to a couple of sofas by a huge TV. But the main attraction of the night, Josh finally caught a glimpse of. Still in their red board shorts, shirtless, and with red lifeguard caps on, Josh saw Scott and Tyler. Josh's stomach dropped as he saw Tyler look in his direction, locking eyes with him.

"Hey Scotty, would you look who's here!" Tyler smirked as he saw Josh had actually showed up. "We were just talking about how you might've gotten cold feet."

"Hey boss!" Scott said, ignoring Tyler and still being polite to his tiny boss. Tyler looked at Scott, laughing as he shook his head.

"Dude, I told you. Right now, he ain't your boss." Tyler said as he looked mischievously at Josh. "He's just a squirt."

Josh swallowed as he started to wonder what they had in store for him. Josh would soon find out as the two med strode their way over to him, looming far above him in both a terrifying, yet extremely awe inspiring view. Suddenly, Scott's hand came down, trying to grab Josh. Instinctively, Josh tried to avoid the hand before easily getting pinched between two of Scott's digits anyway. Josh dangled as he was lifted higher and higher before it seemed like he was hanging out of the door of jet plane. All the while, Josh looked around, Tyler and Scott's faces coming into view. Josh shivered, knowing the two must've been concocting some sort of plan all day.

Josh would soon find out they had plans for Josh involving…

"Wait a second… nah dude it wasn't one of these guys." Tyler said after looking carefully at each of the names.

Josh was shocked for a second before he realized he had three more files set behind the first group. Looking at the first name, Josh started to read the description. The resume looked fairly professional with the name "Brandon" printed across the top. It says the man is 22 years old and that he has no experience with life guarding but it does say that he is CPR certified. He's 6'3" with brown hair and blue eyes with a fairly athletic build. It also seems to list that he attended the same high school as Josh…

"The same high school as me? Seems like he was in my year… I sure hope it wasn't THAT Brandon." Josh thought thinking back to those not so good days.

The next resume looked fantastic. It was extremely easy to read and gave Josh all the information he needed without any unnecessary fluff. This man's name is Trevor, he's 20 years old and attends one of the local universities and he even listed that he's currently a pre-med student with first aid and CPR training. He's currently in his junior year and it seems like his grades so far have been incredible with a 3.8 GPA! Near the bottom he listed his physical build as athletic and that he is 6'4" with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Wow, this guy seems like a genius! Not to mention he keeps in shape too? We could use someone like that…" Josh thought as he was very impressed with this resume.

Finally, the last resume looked a tad sloppy. The name across the top read "Jon" and it would seem he was 19 years old and also attended a different smaller university in the area from Trevor as a sophomore. Jon listed that he was once a lifeguard when he was 16 and isn't currently CPR certified but has been in the past. He also went on to list that he's his college's football team's quarter back, which even though the school was small seemed pretty impressive for someone in his second year! Lastly, he listed his physical appearance. He's 6'7" and his build was written in as "ripped". Josh blinked and did a double take, in disbelief someone would use that word in a resume. Finally he read the man had short brown hair and light blue eyes.

"Ripped huh?" Josh chuckled to himself. "He's lucky he has any experience that's all I have to say…"

Josh flipped back to the first resume and handed them to Tyler and asked him which one he can expect. Flipping through the profiles Tyler came to the conclusion that it definitely was…

"Yeah Brandon was his name, dude." Tyler said handing Josh his notebook back. Josh gulped, hoping still it wasn't THAT Brandon from high school, but regardless of how he felt he knew he had an interview to conduct. Tyler waved good by to his boss as Josh walked toward the tiny doorway which lead to the gigantic interviewing room. Opening the door Josh covered his eyes as the bight lights blinded him momentarily as he walked forward to a miniature microphone.

Josh's vision cleared as he saw who the man was, and it was in fact the Brandon he was hoping it wasn't. Josh sighed heavily as he looked at his old high school bully. He was dressed formally, with a button down white tee shirt tightly wrapped around his muscular frame. Josh could tell he still worked out a lot like in high school as he could see his stomach looked like it was slimmed out and even could make out the huge man's abs poking through the almost transparent shirt. Otherwise, he wore khaki pants and dress shoes and looked way more formal than Josh could ever have imagined. Josh took a deep breath, figuring it was now or never to address his old bully.

"Hi Brandon I'll be the one conducting your interview." Josh said, not even introducing himself. Brandon squinted and leaned forward looking directly at where the little voice came from he could barely make out that there was a person addressing him. Josh shifted slightly as Brandon's eyes started to recognize Josh.

"Josh? No way! I thought it was you when I heard this place got built!" Brandon said with a smile on his face. "How's my little buddy doing? Well, littler buddy now, huh?"

"Um great?" Josh said questioning Brandon's motives. He had never been so polite to Josh before in the past. Josh couldn't help but wonder if maybe the huge man changed or grew up since high school. "How are things with you? Haven't seen you since…"

"High school, yeah." Brandon interrupted. "I remember those days, we were in gym class with each other like every year!"

Josh cringed at the thought. Brandon used to make his life hell in gym. He distinctly remembers always being knocked over or tackled and always getting the excuse that "It's all in good fun, shorty!" Before being carted off the the nurses office on more than one occasion. Josh fumed for a second before trying to regain his composure.

"Yeah gym… Can't say I really miss those days." Josh said trying to remain somewhat aloof.

Brandon smirked at looked over at the tiny man. "Yeah…" he started to say…

"Yeah you were such a shrimp, dude!" Brandon said laughing. "Although I mean look at you now. Didn't think you could get any smaller!"

Josh was red with frustration and embarrassment. Here he thought maybe his old bully had grown up at all, but instead he stood in front of the same old jerk from before. Only this time Josh felt like he had some amount of power as an idea crossed his mind.

"You know, you really shouldn't refer to the owner of this park and your potential boss a 'shrimp' ". Josh said seriously looking over at Brandon's attractive face.

Brandon leaned back, stilling looking very relaxed over the whole situation. "Come on man, I was just dicking around. Just like high school too dude."

Josh sighed. Of course, that's always the excuse he expected. What else would he say? Admit that he was an asshole? Josh knew that's not how Brandon worked.

"Brandon, I don't know if this is going to work." Josh said finally looking down at his feet. He knew what had to be done after all. There was no way he could hire an old bully like Brandon.

Brandon stood up quickly and put a hand behind Josh, completely blocking his escape. "What was that, shrimp?" Brandon said looking down at the tiny man with a plain looking expression. Josh looked around him as all he could see was the drop from the balcony in front of him and Brandon's hand behind him. Sighing, Josh was actually prepared for this type of situation and reached into his pocket to pull out a cell phone.

"Brandon, don't make me call security. Just back away." Josh said trying to remain in command.

Brandon however didn't budge as his eyes focused on the even tiny speck that was the cellphone in Josh's hand. With his free hand, Brandon quickly flicked Josh, causing him to drop the phone as he slammed into Brandon's palm. Josh watched as the finger that just flicked him squashed the tiny phone in an instant into a pile of unidentifiable smolders. Brandon put his hand back down to his side and smiled at Josh, still pressed into his other palm.

Josh was furious at the giant man. "What? Didn't get your fill of bullying me in high school?" Josh spat at the giant.

Brandon scooped Josh into his palm and pulled him off of the balcony and carried him back to the chair. Sitting down he held the tiny man up to about chest level and leaned back. "What? Look at you. You make it too easy."

Josh couldn't believe the way he was being treated. But at the same time he knew he should have expected this. Bullies will always just be bullies. "Look Brandon, Just put me back and we can both just walk away from this."

Brandon stood up once more, this time he turned and dropped the tiny man on the chair in front of him. Just then he sat down on the floor and looked at the little man in the center of the seat. His ass easily took up the entirety of the surface, in yet the little man looked like nothing more than a gnat on the metal floor. Brandon rested one of his arms on the seat in front of Josh and laid his chin on his muscular arm, staring at Josh.

"I never liked you." Brandon said flatly. "That's why I picked on you. I thought maybe you'd toughen up and become a man worth at least respecting. But you're just a tiny bitch."

Josh swallowed hard at the comment. Was Brandon being honest with him? If so he thought of a plan, and he thought of it quick to try and get out of this.

"Toughen me up then!" Josh shouted at the giant. "Maybe I am a little bitch, but maybe give me a chance to prove I can get tougher!"

Brandon closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, causing Josh to fall off his feet from the sudden flow of air. Quickly standing before Brandon could open his eyes, Josh waited for a response…

As he opened his eyes, Brandon looked at Josh with a serious gaze. You hoped he had taken his request seriously. However, Josh’s hopes were dashed as Brandon gained a cocky grin.

“Nah, you’re done for shrimp!”

Josh paled as Brandon rose, looming over him like a titan. The bully had to look over his pecs to see the speck on the chair. Josh panicked, Brandon’s words and his current size were putting him on edge. “Br-randon, what do you mean?!”

Brandon smirked as he folded his biceps over his strong chest. “Don’t you remember? I told you one day I would crush you, little did I know you would make that so much more easier then it needed to be.”

“What! Brandon you would kill me!”, Josh felt terror consume him. He couldn’t escape from the chair due to the height and Brandon would probably just catch him.

Brandon’s smirk widen before he bended over to get closer to Josh, causing the tiny to fall back. “Kill is a strong word. I’m not killing a human, I’m snuffing out a pest that would just annoy someone. Feel honored I’ll be be the one to squash you out of existence.” The giant said with a seductive tone as he stood up again.

“I guess this is goodbye, hoped you found some purpose with your life shrimp. I gotta say, i’ll miss putting you in your place bitch but this will be a good send off.”

“Brandon! Come on don’t do this, I’ll give you the job!”, Josh desperately yelled. But Brandon ignored him and turned to face the balcony, making his large firm ass fill your sky.

“Hmm, I wonder where Josh went?”, Brandon feint confusion as he looked over for his tiny victim. “I guess the shrimp was too nervous to show up.”

Brandon turned to face Josh again, not even looking down and subjecting Josh to the towering body of his bully. The brunette soon looked down at the chair, still he acted oblivious.

“Hm since he’s not here…….

"Yeah I was kind of an asshole in high school, wasn't I?" Brandon said casually leaning forward with a smile. "I'm sorry about that."

Josh blinked for a second, unable to process what he just heard. Never in a million years did he think his old bully would be talking to him so kindly, but then even more so he never imagined he'd actually apologize for being a jerk to him a few years ago. Baffled, Josh didn't know how to respond to Brandon's sudden apology.

"No… it's fine really, I just…" Josh started to say before Brandon cut him off again.

"Dude, it's not fine. I had a lot of issues at home growing up and unfortunately for you, you were my outlet." Brandon said sitting back and crossing his arms over his enormous chest. "I can understand if you hate me for it."

"I never really hated you." Josh said while looking down at the floor trying not to remember high school too vividly. "I just always wondered, why me?"

Brandon sighed and looked down at his feet and shifted slightly in his chair. "You were unlucky. I was just angry all the time and what better way than to let off some steam on a guy you know would never fight back?"

"You could have talked about it." Josh said trying to defend his younger self. "I would have been your friend if I knew you had those problems."

Brandon shook his head still not making eye contact with Josh. "I didn't work that way sadly. Again, I'm really sorry and it's fine if you hate me."

Josh smiled and shook his head this time. "I don't hate you."

Brandon looked up at the tiny man a few feet from him and squinted to see the smile on the miniature man's face. Smiling back, Brandon grew a new appreciation for his old classmate.

"I'm sorry too, if I knew more about you back then I wouldn't have been so cold to you all the time. I'm sure that just made me even more of a target?" Josh stuttered as he looked directly at Brandon's eyes.

"It did! It used to piss me off so much that even after I gave you hell you never stood up for yourself other than that chilling stare you'd give me and how you'd try to ignore me. You don't have to apologize though, I deserved worse than what you gave me." Brandon said while scratching the back of his head.

Josh smiled and twiddled his thumbs a little. He still couldn't believe he was here making up with his old bully like this. Josh thought, maybe he'd be fun to have around?

"So how did you find out about this job? I completely forgot to ask." Josh said, trying to get the actual interview going.

"I saw it on Markus's facebook page that he was working here. I had no idea you were the owner, but I figured if Markus was here he might give me a little pull in getting the job." Brandon said with a goofy grin.

Josh just remembered, Markus was on the football team at his old high school much like Brandon. So it makes sense that the two would have been in some contact over the years. Markus was a year younger than Brandon and Josh and was year below them in school. Josh never really even spoke to Markus until by chance the 6'9" African-American behemoth ended up applying for a job at his park. In the end Markus ended up becoming good friends with Josh as he worked diligently at the park.

"Yeah… you guys played football together right?" Josh asked, already knowing the answer.

"And basketball!" Brandon replied eagerly. "So is he in the park right now?"

Josh looked behind him. If memory served him well Markus was stationed at one of the rides in the park right now. "Yeah I believe he should be."

Brandon sat up looking excited. "Wow, I'd love to see him all tiny like you are right now. The dude is so huge I'd take a chance at seeing him smaller than me for a change!"

Josh laughed, unsure how serious Brandon was. Either way it was good to see Brandon was eager to learn about the park and to see Markus again. "That being said, why don't we get you a uniform next door and maybe we could go in the park after and see Markus?"

Brandon's head tilted for a second. "Wait does that mean?"

Josh shook his head with a smile. "Yeah, you're hired!"

Brandon stood up and walked toward Josh with a huge smile on his face. Josh backed away trying to wave Brandon over to the door as his massive muscled abdomen quickly obstructed his view of the room. Apologizing again, Brandon backed away imagining it must have been terrifying to have a giant so quickly rush at you like that. Josh smiled as he watched Brandon make his way out the door. Leaving the room himself, Josh turned to the room next to the interviewer's room. The break room. Opening the door, Josh looked out into the massive room. It was very well accommodated for both tiny and giant workers. With conveyor belts and elevators leading to different parts of the room, Josh always found it to be very easy to navigate. As for the normal sized part of the room it had a kitchen, bathroom, a cushy lounge and tv, and even a small gym for the lifeguards to work out in if they so chose to. Looking out, Josh saw Brandon enter the room from his perch on the balcony. As Josh scanned the room again he noticed…

"Yo dude! What are you doing here?" Josh heard the familiar voice of Markus call out to his old teammate. Josh looked over at the huge man, he was dark skinned and extremely tall. Brandon actually looked small compared to him, being an entire head's worth shorter. Looking at the muscular man, Josh figured he must have been on break for a little while. His well trained torso and red lifeguard shorts appeared to be dry. Josh even scanned up past his chest, which had an impressive tattoo etched across it in some sort of pointy looking design all the way spanning to his biceps on both sides. Finally, looking at his smiling face Josh couldn't help but stare for a second at his perfect white teeth, attractive scruff on his chin, and deep brown eyes. Naturally, Markus was wearing on of his many hats, as he saw him self as a bit of a collector of many different styles of them.

Brandon grabbed the huge man's right hand the two of them pulled each other in for a sort of "bro-hug" before separating again. "Dude I just got a job here!" Brandon replied to his friend.

"Itty-bitty Brandon got a job here?" Markus mocked his shorter friend with a chuckle. He started petting Brandon on the top of his head to further prove his point as Brandon tried to shove the huge man aside.

"Shut it dude, how can you call me itty-bitty when you look at Josh." Brandon said pointing directly over to Josh who was surprised Brandon even noticed him. Josh felt a little taken aback by the comment, but tried to just set it aside and speak up but not before the two continued their much louder banter.

"Dude, he's your boss now. Don't talk about him like that, shrimp." Markus said defending Josh and putting Brandon in a headlock. Brandon struggled for a few seconds before slipping free and walking a bit toward Josh to compare himself to the minuscule man.

"If I'm a shrimp I guess that makes him a flea." Brandon said somewhat coldly looking down at Josh, who was at about chest level for the massive man.

"Yo, chill dude." Markus spoke sternly to the obviously flustered Brandon. Brandon simply shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"It was all in good fun. We're cool now, Josh knows it." Brandon said staring directly at Markus. Meanwhile, Josh shivered at the phrase. It was the same excuse he always gave in high school, maybe Brandon hasn't changed as much as he initially thought. Shaking the idea from his head Josh was finally able to interject.

"Markus, do you think you could grab a uniform for Brandon?" Josh asked the gigantic man politely. Markus gave Josh a playful salute and walked out the door to retrieve the uniform from a storehouse they had out back. Meanwhile, Brandon looked over at Josh and smiled.

"Thanks again for giving me this job, Josh. It really means a lot." Brandon said with much more politeness than when Markus was around. Josh was taken aback once again, now for totally different reasons. What was Brandon's deal? He was polite in the interview, suddenly a jerk just a minute ago, now suddenly polite again. Josh stood there speechless in thought while Markus reappeared with a new uniform.

"Took your time lumbering back in here, you giant." Brandon quickly quipped to his massive friend. Makrus merely walked forward and shoved the clothes in Brandon's hands before crossing his arms.

"Is shrimpy starting today, boss?" Markus asked looking past Brandon at his tiny boss. Josh simply nodded his head, unsure how Brandon was going to react to being called "shrimpy". Brandon simply snorted at the comment before marching off into the bathroom, wishing to change in privacy. Markus shook head head as Brandon walked off.

"Good old Brandon, hasn't changed at all from high school." Markus said with a chuckle. Josh scratched his head thinking the complete opposite. He seemed totally different than he was in high school to him.

"What do you mean? He seems a lot better to me." Josh said questioning the massive man. Markus turned and looked down at Josh, his enormous pecs and part of his ripped abdomen now completely obstructing his view of the room.

"Well he's as rude and hot headed as I ever remember." Markus said as he lifted his arm, flexing his massive bicep in the process to scratch under his hat. Josh crossed his arms looking down at the floor of the balcony. Sure he was being rude and hot headed… but only when…

Markus suddenly turned, showing Josh his impressive back and walking away. "I've gotta go back to my post. I'll probably see you two out there soon, boss."

Josh nodded to himself. For the moment this was probably better for him anyway. He absolutely figured out, Brandon must act like he did in high school when he's around Markus. He's heard of people who do that before, but never thought he'd see it first hand like this. Just then the door to the bathroom opened and Brandon walked out wearing his new red lifeguard shorts. Josh was astonished at how great Brandon's body looked when he didn't have a shirt covering his torso. He always had a pretty huge chest, but Josh remembered him being much chubbier in high school, now however he sported a very attractive looking six pack as well as modest looking treasure trail. He certainly wasn't a lean muscle however, as on his belly it did look like his muscles were more thickly laid. Over all he looked like he had a well trained football player's body. The huge man looked around the room while holding his clothes before spotting Josh and walking over.

"Markus leave?" Brandon asked softly.

"He had to go back to his shift, actually." Josh answered back, glad to gave the polite Brandon back with him for now. Josh watched as Brandon dropped his clothes just below the balcony at the end of the room. "We have little lockers in the gym if you want to store your stuff there for today?"

Brandon shook his head. "No, that's ok. I don't want to take up any room in there till I'm more officially part of the crew." He said with a smile.

Josh sighed silently to himself, he still couldn't believe how different someone could be just based off what people are around him. Either way, now it was time to decide how to approach training Brandon to be a lifeguard. Thankfully, the muscled behemoth already is CPR certified, so all he needs is training in the pools. Josh figured he could train him himself, but he always liked to have someone else help since it made the job a lot quicker and easier. He knew if he was going to pick anyone to help him however it would seem weird not to ask Markus. Josh sighed again deciding…

Josh swallowed hard, knowing what he was about to put himself through. At the very least he knew Markus has Brandon under control if anything should go wrong. Looking up at Brandon's handsome face Josh figured it was time to let him know what was going on.

"So I'd like to train you today, Brandon." Josh started to say as Brandon hunched over a little to hear his new tiny boss better. "I'll have Markus help too, of course."

"Sweet dude!" Brandon said excitedly almost blowing Josh over with his words in the process. "It's great seeing Markus again, I swear he's gotten bigger since high school."

"He probably has, honestly." Josh replied, regaining his balance. "You look like you've been working out a lot since I've last seen you too."

Brandon stood up back to his full height, rubbing his solid abs in the process. "I had to get rid of the spare tire, dude. Great to have the extra weight to throw around in football, but after that was done I decided looking good was more important."

Josh smiled, he really liked Brandon like this. Relaxed and polite was a nice change for the huge guy. However, he knew it was just a matter of time before he regressed to his old self once he's around Markus. "Maybe the fact that this is work and he's being trained will help…" Josh thought to himself hopefully. Quickly, Josh instructed Brandon to go around the front and enter the park, assuring him he'd meet him there by the entrance once he's been shrunk. Brandon made a bit of a sour face, showing his distaste for the whole shrinking part, but none the less obeyed and left the room.

- - -

Standing at the entrance Josh waited around for a minute before finally spotting a much smaller, yet still much bigger than him, Brandon. Josh waved to his old bully who nodded his head and walked over to his new boss. Brandon stuck out his right hand as he came up to Josh, to which Josh smiled and grabbed it. Brandon pulled Josh in quickly giving him a "bro-hug" much like what he did with Markus earlier. A little shocked Josh blushed a little as he was pulled into Brandon's muscular chest, but instinctively put his arm around Brandon's back in return. Brandon gently let Josh go and looked down at the shorter man with a friendly grin.

"I was afraid I'd hurt you earlier if I tried to shake your hand or something." Brandon said casually. "I could have crushed you under my pinky if I wasn't careful!"

Josh laughed at the comment, however it made him sweat a little too since the thought of being crushed wasn't particularly amusing to him. Moving along, Josh had Brandon follow him to one of the near by wave pools. Noticing that it was in fact Markus stationed at the smaller pool Josh signaled the man to clear out the pool. Josh and Brandon watched as several guests started to file out of the pool, making their way to a different pool or ride in the park. Josh smiled awkwardly as Markus came walking over to him and Brandon.

"Looking good, B." Markus said walking over to the shorter man and giving him a playful pat on the stomach. Brandon stood there with a smirk, not flinching at all to his giant friend next to him. Suddenly, Brandon burped directly up into his Markus face. Markus shoved the smaller man away while pinching his nose. "Dude! That's nasty!"

Brandon smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry dude, you must've loosened up some air down there."

Josh shook his head as he watched the two. Back to rude Brandon it was, after all. "Hey guys let's just get started with the training, ok?"

"Hey Josh, I bet if I burped at you while you're all tiny you'd go flying! That'd be hilarious!" Brandon spouted with a less than friendly grin on his face. Markus sighed and simply grabbed Brandon by the shoulder and started to drag him into the pool.

"Come on, time to learn, you dunce." Markus said in an almost monotone voice. Josh watched with a bit of sweat running down his brow while trying to fake a smile.

- - -

Josh observed for a while, watching as Brandon learned the ins and outs for saving a drowning person and when it's appropriate to blow you whistle to get people to quit goofing off. Brandon started to take in the rules quite well while Josh was mostly out of ear shot of the two. Finally, after swimming a few laps for an endurance test Brandon and Markus approached Josh, water dripping down their solid bodies.

"How'd it go?" Josh asked, trying not to stare directly at the chiseled features of his employees. Markus nodded his head with a grin and Brandon stood there catching his breath.

"He's in good shape, if you want I can supervise him tomorrow and I think he'll be good to go." Markus said jovially. Josh nodded his head in agreement. He figured it would be a good test for Brandon to behave in front of guests while Markus is around.

"Great!" Markus cheered. "Anyway, shorty here and I were talking and we wanted to ask you something."

Josh tilted his head for a moment, curious. "Sure, what's up?"

Brandon stepped forward, having now caught his breath. "We wanted to see if you would hang out with us later."

Josh scratched his cheek and looked down at the ground. Somehow he didn't see this going well with how Brandon acts. "I'm.. uh… not sure."

Markus pulled Brandon beside him and put his arm over his shoulder. "Yo, come on. We're all old classmates. It'll be fun."

Josh looked at Brandon's face as he started to huff over being forced next to Markus like that so suddenly. Taking a deep breath however Josh answered…

"I really wish I could! But I'm already planning on staying in the park kinda late tonight anyway to get Brandon on the pay roll and such!" Josh said waving his hands in front of his chest nervously. Brandon looked up at Markus, who let out a slight sigh.

"Fine, getting this shrimp on the pay roll is probably more important anyway." Markus said as he squeezed Brandon in closer to him. Brandon quickly tried to struggle away from his larger friend and eventually pulled away from beside him.

"Yeah me getting money is more important!" Brandon said with an arrogant smirk. "Markus or I might've squashed you if you chilled with us anyway."

Josh looked at the ground, a little distressed. He wasn't THAT small after all. But he shook it off, knowing Brandon didn't necessarily mean what he was saying right now. Looking up at Markus, Josh figured he could give the men an assignment for the rest of the day. "Markus, could you just have Brandon shadow you until close?"

Markus shook his head in agreement. "Yeah that way he'll learn a little first hand before I supervise him tomorrow."

Josh smiled, glad to see at least Markus was always respectful of him, even when Brandon was around. He watched as the two muscled lifeguards walked over to the post by the wave pool and they started to allow people back into the pool. Josh looked once more at Brandon, who stood beside Markus with an actually serious look on his face, before turning away to head to his office and get working on getting Brandon into their records.

- - -

Josh looked up at his clock in amazement. He couldn't believe how the hours could just fly by as they were just hitting closing time. Figuring he had the time, Josh got up out of his chair and made his way out of the office, hoping to catch Brandon and Markus in the break room before they leave. Feeling a little bad he turned down their invitation earlier, he thought at the very least he could see how Brandon did today and see if he learned the ropes well enough.

Opening the door to the break room, Josh looked out to see the backs of both Brandon and Markus on the other side of the room. Josh smiled as he walked up right up to the edge of the balcony to call them over. Something caught his eye however, as Josh leaned over the edge of the balcony and saw Brandon's discarded clothes from earlier. Josh sighed as he wished the stubborn man would have just used a locker.

THUD THUD

Josh started to lose his balance as Brandon turned around and started to walk over to his clothes. Hanging on as best he could Josh started to panic, hoping he wouldn't tumble off the balcony. As Brandon's footsteps pounded closer Josh…

"Shit! Shit! Shiiiiiiiiii….!" Josh yelled as he free fell off the balcony. He closed his eyes, hoping there was someway someone would save him before he crashed on the floor below. Josh slowly opened his eyes. He stopped, seemingly unharmed. Looking around Josh could only see a dense tangle of dark fabric. It smelt slightly of deodorant and sweat and just as Josh realized where he was he toppled over as the cushion he was on was being picked up and moved. "I'm in Brandon's clothes!"

Josh fumbled as he was buried under Brandon's shirt, somewhere in the middle of the clothes. Hoping to find his way out and make contact, Josh started to work his way up.

- - -

"Yo, hurry up." Markus called to Brandon as he started to walk over with his clothes in hand. Brandon held the bundle of clothes tight to his chest so he wouldn't accidentally drop any as the two made their way out. Markus grinned as he and his old teammate made their way out the door.

"We going to your place, dude?" Brandon asked as the pair made their way to a nearby bus stop.

"Yeah, it's just a short bus ride to the apartment. Yo, you sure you don't want to go to your place first?" Markus asked, looked at Brandon's clothes still held in his arms.

"It's fine, dude." Brandon said quickly, just honestly feeling too lazy to head to his new apartment first. The two sat on their spot on the bus for a few minutes, attracting a lot of wayward stares from several other bus goers with their impressive bodies, before eventually pulling in front of a new looking apartment complex only a short distance from the park. After getting off the bus, Markus lead Brandon to a near by building where his apartment was located.

Brandon sighed as Markus opened the door to the smallish one bedroom apartment. "I expected it to be bigger." Brandon joked as he nudged his friend in the stomach. "Considering you're a giant and all."

"You should feel right at home then." Markus retaliated as he walked into a doorway leading to his room. Meanwhile Brandon, instinctively made his way to the couch, dropping his clothes on the floor in front of it in the process, between his feet.

- - -

Finally, after a lot of effort Josh saw light and made his way to the surface of the clothes. Looking straight up he was puzzled for a second before falling back in surprise.

"L-legs!" Josh stuttered as he looked around. "And f-feet!"

He couldn't make out who's legs they were from his position, but if he had to guess, they would be Brandon's. To scared to move at the moment, Josh tried to figure out where the heck he was. The room was unfamiliar. In front of his he could see the edge of a couch, and behind him the legs of a coffee table. To the sides he could make out a few windows as well as a kitchen table and what looked like counter tops. With a few huge thuds, Josh cringed as he saw the entirety of Markus appear to his side, making his way out of a doorway. Josh looked up in awe. He was clad in just a pair of grey running shorts, with an orange stripe as well as a black flat rimmed hat on his head. Other than that his feet and torso were both bare, showing off his well trained muscles to Josh like some sort of god.

"Yo, you want a shirt or something?" Markus asked as he lifted up a black tank top he was holding.

"Nah, I'm good." Brandon said, looking down to admire his own body. "You should cover up though."

Markus threw the spare shirt back into his room with a smirk as he adjusted his hat on his head to the side better. "You think you're better looking than me, shrimpy?"

Josh nearly screamed as Brandon's legs moved over his position as the huge man stood up. Looking for only a second before he moved, Josh blushed as he stared up at Brandon's magnificent body all the way down from the floor. Unaware of the show he was giving, Brandon soon moved closer to Markus and stood beside him. Josh watched as both men were in full view was seemed like miles away.

"See look dude, my pecs are bigger than yours." Brandon said cupping his chest. Markus laughed as he cupped his own chest.

"Dude size doesn't mean everything. Mine might be a tiny bit smaller but they're even." Markus said with a dashing smile.

"Uneven my ass!" Brandon retorted as he examined his chest a little closer.

"Speaking of ass, mine's bigger than yours." Markus said turning slightly to show off his round bubble butt.

"Barely! Besides my ass is even!" Brandon snorted in a mocking tone.

Josh rested his chin on his fist. Amazed at what he was witnessing. "Unbelievable. To think I tried to pass this up?" Josh said to himself sarcastically.

The two went on for awhile, comparing every muscle they could trying to prove who was better before laughing it off with each other with a playful bro-hug. Josh snapped back to reality as he saw the pair coming back over to the couch. Josh tried to move as best he could to get himself in a good position to be noticed once they sat back down. Just then…

Josh struggled to find his balance as he squirmed around on the surface of Brandon's clothes. Without warning, however, Josh found himself suddenly entrapped in darkness. Unable to see his hand in front of his face, Josh felt around his new prison, it was rough, almost skin like in fact. Confused, Josh poked around a little more before hearing the muffled voices of Brandon and Markus as his new prison started to elevate quickly.

- - -

Brandon raised his closed fist up to about his chest in height and looked down at it with a frown. Markus looked on, puzzled what his old teammate was holding. "Yo, whatcha got, B?"

Brandon looked up with a disgusted look in response. "Some bug crawling around in my clothes. Your floor is probably infested with them, dude."

"Yeah? Or your clothes are, dude." Markus snipped back at his buddy, much to Brandon's dismay. Markus watched as Brandon started to clench his fist, readying to crush the puny insect out of existence. "What you're just gonna crush it in your fist?"

Brandon stopped for a second. Still feeling the little creature squirm about in his hand. "Well, it might have wings. I figured I'd just kill it like this."

Markus shook his head and clicked his tongue a little. "That's boring. What you want me to go get you a newspaper too?"

Brandon sighed, not very fond of being mocked by his friend. "Well what do you suggest we do?"

Markus shook his head in frustration. "Yo, I don't know! You used to be way more creative than this in high school. I remember one time at practice you swallowed a frog on a dare."

Brandon looked down at his fist. He could swallow the pitiful bug. It was so small though, it wouldn't even put up a fight. Brandon looked up at his friend and grinned. "Dude…"

"I'll eat this little shit. Serves it right for crawling around in my clothes." Brandon said lifting his fist a little. Markus laughed, glad to see his friend was back to his childish ways.

"Yo, this is gonna be way easier than that frog though." Markus said crossing his arms. Brandon merely shrugged his shoulders and laughed.

"It was kind of a small frog though too." Brandon said thinking hard for a second to remember back a few years. "I just remember chugging the little guy down with some gatorade and getting back to practice."

"It was pretty funny for everyone else, dude." Markus laughed as he walked out into the kitchen, before reappearing quickly with a bottle of gatorade. "Speaking of gatorade, here, on the house!"

Brandon took the bottle with his free hand, taking a quick swig of the orange liquid before swallowing it down. "Thanks man."

Without hesitation, Brandon started to lift his still closed fist up to his mouth and started to open it, tilting his head back in the process…

- - -

Holding on for dear life, Josh managed to grab on to a part of Brandon's rough skin. Looking down in the mostly dark he could make out the opening to a vast, dark cave. Brandon's mouth. Squealing in fear, Josh tried to avert his attention elsewhere. He couldn't believe it. The muffled words he heard and hoped to be wrong were in fact the truth. Somehow he got mistake for a bug and was now dangling over his old bully's mouth, ready to be eaten in some idiotic bet.

"There's no use!" Josh cried with his eyes closed, not wanting to witness the cavern of horror that was sitting there gaping below him. The smell was already bad enough, a mixture of some amount of rotten smelling food and fresh gatorade wafted up from the seemingly bottomless pit of Brandon's throat. Hanging on desperately to some part of Brandon's hand, Josh knew he was only delaying the inevitable.

As Josh's hand started to finally slip, he…

"Shit!" Josh felt his hand slip. Josh opened his eye's to watch himself fall down further and further away from Brandon's hand. It was like almost in slow motion, Josh could see Brandon's building like teeth stretch up on either side of him before finally landing with a soft splat somewhere in the massive mouth below. Laying for only a second, Josh realized Brandon's mouth was starting to level flat, however it was also starting to close. Getting up, Josh stumbled as quickly as he could toward the rapidly vanishing light, hoping somehow he could make a grand escape. Outside Brandon's almost shut mouth Josh caught a glimpse of Markus's body, just before the smelly cavern closed.

"No…" Josh wept as he was shut in total darkness. The smell from Brandon's throat started to waft up even worse now that it had no where to escape, Josh held back tears and gagged slightly as his old bully's breath enveloped him. Sloshing through Brandon's thick saliva, Josh was determined. He knew he only had once chance, and it was to keep moving forward, and hope that against all odds he could somehow position himself to safety before Brandon swallows him whole. Without delay, Josh pressed on.

- - -

"Yo. What's the hold up, dude?" Markus asked impatiently as he watched his friend close his mouth finally. Brandon simply smirked, not wanted to open his mouth.

"Guess that little guy was holding on pretty tight. Didn't wanna get eaten, dude." Markus chuckled as Brandon shrugged his shoulders arrogantly. "You gonna swallow that thing or not?"

Brandon held up a finger, indicating Markus to give him a minute as his eyes wandered in concentration. Markus nodded, in understanding. "Trying to feel it?"

Brandon slowly shook his head, continuing to search for the pitifully small creature in his mouth. A minute went by and Brandon was sick of trying to find the bug. With a tremendous gulp, Brandon simply tried to send the critter down no matter where it was in his mouth.

"Couldn't find it. Damn thing was way too little." Brandon scoffed as he looked at his buddy a little disappointed. "Whatever, it's in here somewhere now." Brandon added as he rubbed his abs a little.

Markus laughed at his friend's disappointment. "Yo, what did you expect, man?"

Brandon shrugged, "I don't know, man. Something exciting I guess."

Meanwhile, Josh…

"Noooooo!!!! Fuuuuuu---"

Were the last words Josh managed to scream before his mouth filled with the soupy sludge of his former bully's stomach. The stomach air was hot and muggy, much like the summers he used to spend at the pool. But twisted to demented extremes. The sensation of splashing down in this gross water and struggling for his life triggered a memory from his high school days.

---
---

Josh had went to the pool across town, alone. He was waiting for one of his friends to get there, but being who he was, he showed up 30 minutes early just to be safe. Josh hadn't planned on swimming just yet, so he pecked on a hotdog as he waited, taking in the sun on such a nice day. He took a bite and closed his eyes in relaxation.

Had he known that Brandon and his other punk friends frequented this pool, he would have left immediately.

"Josh?? Yoooo. If it isn't my favorite pipsqueak."

Josh's eyes rushed open and his heartrate doubled just at the sound of Brandon's smug voice. With his eyes now open, he could see that brandon stood in front of him, blocking the sun as he and his friend's shadows coated the smaller man in darkness.

Josh tried to speak, but the hotdog he haphasardly swallowed in surprise was now lodged in his throat, making him choke a bit.

"Awww. All choked up to see me, little dude?" Brandon's friends laughed at his attempt at humor. Josh wanted to respond, but instead he just sat up, trying to get more air.

"Dude you know you're not supposed to eat before going in the pool. Here, let me help you out with that." Brandon arrogantly grabs the half eaten hot dog and obnoxiously shovels it in his mouth. Josh had bigger problems to worry about than his food being stolen, but he was still annoyed by the action. It was a pretty good hot dog.

"There you go, bug! Now you're all ready to take a swim! Hahah…" With a cock of his head as all the order they needed, Brandon's friends grabbed a squirming and still slightly choking Josh and hoisted him into the air. Brandon and his goons snickered as they ignored Josh's pleas and disgarded him into the cold, uncaring pool. Josh, not shy to swimming, managed to make his way back up to the surface, dispite him now hiccuping like crazy. But his tormentors had no intention of making his escape easy. Josh tried to reach the edge of the pool and climb out; but he was met with Brandon, towering over him. From their difference in elevation, Josh felt like he was tiny; staring up at a malevolent god. A god who would soon fill Josh's vision with the sole of his smelly foot, kicking the smaller man in the face and sending him reeling back into the pool. Josh spat the water out of his mouth pathetically, and tried to get out of the pool the same way, this time met with the bare sole of another jock kicking him while he's down. And another. And another. And then back to Brandon for the most painful kick of them all. It became clear that he wasn't going to get out of this liquid any time soon. But his lunges ached and he wished more than anything that Brandon would show mercy.

He didn't.

"Hey, Josh. You wanna play sharks and minnoes? My boys and I will be the sharks. And, naturally, you'll be the tiny helpless minnow. Better swim away little fishy. We're hungry." Brandon laughed, then jumped in the pool with a deafening splash, followed by 3 more splashes behind him. Josh realized he was surrounded on every angle. He tried to swim away, but his face collided with Brandon's toned gut in the water. The bully laughed as he grabbed Josh's smaller body. Then, with the help of his friends, the group of guys took turns holding Josh below the water. Not long enough to drown him, but long enough to make Josh feel absolutely helpless. He thought he'd never escape this hell Brandon put him through.

Until a familiar voice rang out when he got his head above water.

"Yo, guys, cut it out. I think he's struggling for air." Markus the jock said, looking down at all of them from the edge of the pool.

"Ah don't worry. We're just having a little fun. Right guys?" Brandon's tone shifted. He was an excellent liar. His friends nodded in agreement as Josh finally caught his breath. The nerd looked at Markus, who at this point in time wasn't even an aquainatance yet. Then he looked at Brandon, who was smiling, but gave Josh a side eye that said "say anything and we really will fucking drown you." Josh gulped, looked back at Markus again and said:

"Y-Yeah…I'm…fine."

-----
-----

"BRANDOOOOON!!!"

Things were andything but fine inside of Brandon's stomach. The torrent of acid hadn't seemed to have a meal in a while, and as such it burned Josh's little meaty body like crazy. He tried his best to hold on to something, but Bradon's force kept holding him down. He was pushed and kicked and forced to submit, until his weak little lunges couldn't handle the liquid trying to infiltrate them. And, unfortunately, Markus couldn't save him this time.

Josh drowned inside of Brandon. Then his body started to dissolve away. His dying memory being Brandon, towering over him on the edge of the pool, like the god he was.

-----
-----

Markus raised an eyebrow. "Can eating something that small really be exciting?"

To which Brandon would reply "Oh hell yeah dude. You ever eaten a live minnow?"

"Those really tiny fish?"

"Yeah man. It's fun." Brandon replied, now rubbing his stomach in remeniscience. "If you gulp them down whole they swim around in your stomach for a bit. Heh. I bet they think they're still in water or something. Makes it more satisfying when you finally feel them stop moving."

Markus just stared a little bit before starting to move to the kitchen. "That's a little sadistic, my guy." The titan then opened up the fridge and looked around for food.

Brandon would laugh. "Eh. I guess I used to be a bit back in the day. But I think I've swallowed most of that shit down. It feels like I've passed most of it out of my system." Brandon's gut would gurgle. If he had listened closer, he could have heard a faint scream. "Oh, hey, speaking of which. You got any food, bro?"

Markus looked around for leftovers, then looked back to Brandon once he found some. "Yeah, sure. You alright with hotdogs?"

Josh shook in fear. Holding on as best he could he managed to make it to the front of Brandon's tremendous mouth. Brandon's gulp just moments ago was so powerful, he was surprised he wasn't swept up in the tongue's massive motion. Sighing a little in relief, Josh looked up at his next obstacle. A massive tooth. Deciding it was his only way out, Josh started to scale the somewhat slick surface. Brandon's loud voice didn't make matters any easier as Josh struggled to make his way up, but somehow luck must have been on his side this whole time as he peeked over the top, getting a view of the outside world once more. Resting for a second, Josh looked out, seeing Markus's laughing face. Josh sobbed for a second to himself. After all he had no idea where to go with his climb now!

As if on cue, an potential answer began to rumble behind Josh. A faint gurgle erupted from Brandon's throat, growing larger in size until finally…

BUUUUUURRRP!

Josh screamed as he found himself being flung through the air. Closing his eyes, Josh didn't dare look to see where he could possibly meet his end as he figured he'd eventually come crashing down on the floor with enormous force. Finally, Josh landed. The surface was hard, but not floor-hard. He couldn't really make out where he was for a second while he got his bearings straight. That is until he nearly crawled off a cliff. With a fearful leap, Josh jumped with his back against this somewhat soft "wall". Looking above him he saw what seemed like a ceiling that stops at the same point the cliff starts from here he was standing. To his sides he could see another end to this cliff followed by another landing in the distance. Suddenly, everything moved as he landing spot was most certainly mobile. Holding on tight Josh finally realized, it was skin. Not only that the dark coloration was certainly Markus's. Looking over the cliff Josh made out several features. Belly button, shorts, legs…

"Good lord, I'm in one of the ridges of his abs…" Josh whispered to himself as he backed up into the wall once more. Josh heard Markus's distant voice far above him, his abs contracting slightly with each breath he took as he spoke.

"Nice dude!" Markus laughed as Brandon shook his head happily. "That bug is toast!"

Josh looked out, being able to make out most of Brandon's body from his vantage point. The huge man arrogantly stroked his muscled stomach, proud of the burp he just let loose. Judging by what Markus said however, Josh smiled as he figured they must believe Brandon swallowed him. With a slight sigh of relief, Josh moved around hoping to find a way out of this new mess he was so unceremoniously launched into. Meanwhile…

Josh tried to hold onto the wall of flesh as best he could as Markus and Brandon laughed and walked over to the couch, sitting down with a massive flop. Josh screamed, feet flying off the 'ground' for a second as managed to hold on, crashing down into the ridges between Markus's abs once more as he settled into the couch.

"This is insane!" Josh cried out, picking himself up and looked around, now seeing Brandon sitting next to Markus to his left, and the edge of the couch to his right. "I'm a goner if I can't get one of their attention!"

Josh took a deep breath as he started to inch his way around, figuring out the best angle to approach being found. "I should try to make my way up to Markus's ear. He'll never hear me down here." Josh reasoned, looking straight up, seeing that since Markus's body was slumped back in the seat slightly, it did create a bit of an incline for him to use. Josh looked over at Brandon, also sitting with bad posture, but Josh shook his head, knowing he'd much rather try to contact Markus. "Yeahhh… not after he tried to eat me…"

Josh started his ascent, doing his best to make his way up as he kept an eye on the giant's listening to their conversation.

"Can't believe your dumb ass actually ate that bug, dude." Markus laughed, nudging Brandon in the side. Brandon simply gave Markus a bit of a pissed off look.

"Bro! You're the one that told me to do it!" Brandon angrily spat at Markus. "What the fuck do you mean, my dumb ass?!"

"Dude, I just said something like what you did with the frog. You're the one that jumped straight to eating a bug." Markus continued to laughed, but also technically being right in this situation. Brandon meanwhile continued to give Markus a sour look.

"Fuck you, dude. You suck." Brandon turned his head, crossing his arms. Markus chuckled and put his arm around Brandon's shoulders.

"Relaaaax, B. It's just a bug anyway." Markus tried to reassure his hot headed friend. "It's not like I had you swallow a pool ball or something."

"Dude, I'd kill you." Brandon still pouting, but not actually moving Markus's arm.

"Bro, if you did it it'd all be on you." Markus patted his arm up and down. "But seriously, I wouldn't do that to you, B."

"Better not!" Brandon ceased his pouting. "Anyway, dude…"

"Hmm?" Markus turned to look at Brandon. Looking at his friend, Brandon replied…

"There's a bug crawling up your chest, bro…" Brandon pointed down at Markus's chest, as his friend pulled his arm back and tried looking down at the spot Brandon was pointing at. "I'm not eating another, dude. Screw you."

Markus reached down, seeing the tiny speck Brandon had mentioned. Quickly pinching it in his fingers and dropping it into his closed palm.

"You sure, dude? I even caught it for you." Markus chuckled, waving his fist at Brandon. Unamused, Brandon pushed it away.

"Why don't you eat it?" Brandon taunted Markus. "You fucking owe me, bro!"

Markus shrugged, it was literally a miniscule worthless little insect after all. "Dude, fine. If you'll quit your bitching. Then we'll be even, okay?"

"I will, bro. Just eat the dumb bug!" Brandon impatiently glared at Markus, not entirely believing he'd do it.

"Fine fine." Markus again shrugged. He had no idea why Brandon was making this into such a big deal. Showing Brandon how little it mattered to him, Markus simply shoved his palm to his open mouth. Reaching to grab one of the drinks he got, Markus took a sip. With that, Markus rose an eyebrow with a smirk at Brandon, giving him a look like his complaining was all invalid. Brandon simply pouted again, crossing his arms.

"Dude, you didn't even make a big deal about it." Brandon felt like he had put on a grand show for his friend in comparison.

"What's there to make a big deal out of, dude?" Markus shrugged, setting down his drink. "It was a mindless little bug, dude. It doesn't even know what's happening to it right now."

"Bro imagine if it did?" Brandon thought about it for a second if a little bug would realize if it was just swallowed up. Markus shrugged, not really thinking about it.

"I guess if they did… shit there's be a lot of miserable bugs." Markus peeked down at his stomach for a second. "Eh, both bugs we ate should be glad we ate em, not a dumb frog or something."

Brandon leaned back, putting his hands behind his head. "Yeah true. Two luckiest bugs in the world, getting to get eaten by us rather than some dumb animal! They don't even realize how lucky they are!"

"Eh, one of them is lucky!" Markus patted his own stomach. "The one you ate. That's a big oof for that little bug, dude."

"Hey! Fuck you, dude!" Brandon shoved Markus in the side, as the bigger man continued to laughed.

- - -

"What's happening?!" Josh screamed, almost as if he was a bug, completely unaware he was eaten. Though sadly for Josh, he was quite aware that he was just eaten. But the tiny man couldn't begin to fathom why it just happened. Josh screamed and struggled as he pushed himself up and over some mounds of partially digested food. Markus's stomach rumbled violently as the giant patted his abs from the outside.

"This wasn't supposed to happen! I escaped from Brandon!" Josh cried out, feeling like there was no way this was fair. This wasn't part of the plan, Josh knew exactly what he needed to do to be rescued, and being mistaken as a bug a second time was certainly not part of it. "Markus!"

Josh's voice didn't even echo in the chamber. He was so small, so pathetic, that his miniscule voice couldn't even carry. Josh knew this, it was the entire reason why he tried so hard to climb for the ear. Josh couldn't help but curse Brandon. Not once, but twice, did the giant think he was a mere insect. Markus's stomach gave off a faint gurgle, churning it's contents a little.

"What can I even do…" Josh felt like he needed a miracle. With another pat of his stomach, Markus unintentionally shook the chamber once again however. Josh stumbled off the mound of food he was holding out on, and into a a foamy pool of acid.

If it was any consolation, considering Markus couldn't hear Josh's cries for help earlier, he also never heard Josh's screams of pain as his stomach acid made easy work of the tiny man.

As far as Markus would care though, that little bug was lucky he got to eat him in the end.

Without thinking, Josh dug his teeth down deep as hard as he could into Brandon's skin. Tears flowing from his eyes, he held his position as long as he could before his mouth was sore. Letting go finally, Josh fell backwards. Tired and scared, he awaited his fall to land him in the sticky wetness of Brandon's tongue. After laying for a second he realized he was still in Brandon's hand and looked up at Brandon's disgruntled face.

- - -

"Yo, what's wrong?" Markus questioned as he walked his way over next to Brandon to look down at the speck in his hand.

"I think it bit me." Brandon said while not looking very closely at what he still assumed to be a bug. Closing his fist back around it he looked up at his friend. "I don't know if I wanna eat it if it's gonna go munching on my insides."

Markus laughed. "Dude, that's what you're worried about? It's so small you wouldn't even feel it."

"Whatever dude. I'm just gonna crush it with my hands." Brandon said as he set down the gatorade bottle on the coffee table. Markus huffed, thinking just crushing the pest was uncreative and boring. Brandon rolled his eyes at his enormous friend and tried to compromise. "I'll lick up it's guts afterwards. Will that make you happy?"

Markus nodded his head with a toothy smile, much to Brandon's satisfaction. "Giant baby." Brandon mocked the man as he opened up his hand to see the tired pest still resting in the same spot. Taking his other hand, Brandon brought it over hovering it ready to clap the little biting pest to smithereens. Markus peeked a little closer to look at the bug, smirking to himself that he convinced Brandon to eat bug guts afterwards. Brandon readied his hand to come down in a triumphant clap and…

"YO! DUDE WAIT!" Markus yelled as he quickly grabbed Brandon's hand. Brandon almost jumped in surprise, not expecting this sudden intervention at all.

"What, holy shit dude. What?" Brandon panted as Markus looked closer down on Brandon's hand. Markus looked at Brandon's face with a scared look in his eye.

"This ain't no bug, dude." Markus said almost shaking. "It's Josh."

Brandon moved his other hand immediately away from over the speck and looked closer. Sure enough Brandon squinted to see little arms and legs and a head. The makings of a person. On even closer inspection he swallowed upon making out Josh's features. Markus backed up as he let Brandon realize what almost happened. Brandon looked down at Josh, astonished. Finally, he spoke to the tiny man.

"Dude… You bit me! What the hell man!" Brandon spouted angrily at Josh's exhausted body.

Markus blinked before going back over to Brandon and grabbing his hand before he did anything he'd regret. "Yo, you almost at the man. Dude was just protecting himself."

"I only almost did it because you told me to!" Brandon retorted, wanting to defend himself some more.

"Yeah only because you were just going to crush him! If I didn't tell you to eat him he'd be pulverized right now!" Markus yelled back, not wanting to take the blame either.

"How the hell is he even here? Why was he in my clothes?" Brandon yelled hoping to garner answers from thin air. Markus meanwhile tried to calm down both himself and Brandon as he walked him over to the kitchen table. Grabbing a napkin Markus instructed Brandon to carefully slide Josh off onto the napkin.

"Is he alive?" Brandon asked looking down closely at the unmoving man. Moving a finger down, Brandon went to poke the man before having his hand slapped away by Markus.

"He bit you didn't he? He's alive, probably unconscious or just exhausted. Leave him be for now." Markus ordered as Brandon stood back up to his full height and shrugged casually before walking away. Markus shook his head as he looked over at Josh, still motionless.

- - -

Josh opened his eyes. Rubbing them slightly he couldn't figure out where he was or what could have happened. Looking down he only saw white, a napkin it would seem. Around him he noticed the familiar setting of the small apartment he was in. "Guess it wasn't a dream." Josh frowned to himself as he tried to spot Brandon or Markus.

"Yo boss!" Josh heard the familiar voice call from behind him. Turning he saw Brandon and Markus sitting at the table together, eating what looked like ramen noodles. Stumbling to his feet, Josh waved at the pair of men, to which Markus smiled, where as Brandon kept the same sour look as he sucked up a massive string of noodles.

"You ok?" Markus asked leaning forward to look at the tiny man. Josh rubbed the back of his neck as the huge man's face loomed in closer.

"I'm fine that was quite the fiasco though…" Josh said, trying not to make too big of a deal out of it.

Brandon swallowed his food hard, and wiped his mouth before leaning forward as well. "What were you doing in my clothes?" He asked boisterously.

Josh rubbed his chin thinking back to earlier in the day. "I came to the break room to see how you guys did today, and I sort of just lost my balance and fell right into them. I was lucky they were there or I could have been hurt pretty bad!"

Brandon sat back, sour expression unchanging. "Yeah I bet."

Josh felt a bit of a sting behind the words. It was the truth after all, he didn't understand why Brandon had to be such a suspicious brat about it. Shaking the thought Josh figured it would be best to just ignore Brandon's words.

Markus shifted slightly in the awkward silent for a second before standing up. "Yo, I gotta piss."

Josh watched as the huge man stomped away into the near by bathroom, shutting the door behind him. Josh looked a little fearfully toward Brandon. The look on his face told Josh he was…

Josh tried to smile awkwardly as Brandon stared intently in his direction. The huge muscled giant seemed none too pleased about finding out in was in fact Josh who was crawling around in his clothes. Leaning forward, Brandon reached out and casually scooped the tiny man into his hands.

"W-what are you doing?" Josh asked nervously, shocked at his sudden relocation.

"You just "happened" to fall in my clothes?" Brandon asked, whispering scornfully into his hand. "I don't believe that."

"It's the truth! Why in the world would I want to be in this situation?" Josh asked, hoping to get through to the angry giant.

Brandon chuckled. "You were always so quiet in high school. No one could read you. What makes me want to believe you? This could be some weird fetish of yours."

Josh blushed. Sure he found shrinking to be exhilarating, but he never ever intended to put himself in danger no matter now "neat" shrinking was. "That's ridiculous! Nobody would be dumb enough to hitch hike on a pile of clothes while being like a fourth of an inch tall!"

Brandon leaned back and scratched his stomach with his free hand. His face seemed to find it at least half believable, for the moment anyway. Looking up at the giant's face, Josh desperately wanted Brandon to believe him. He felt terrible that after all the strides they made today to get along could end this poorly.

"Please Brandon, I just want to go home. Trust me." Josh begged the smug looking man.

"Too late for that, the last bus left 5 minutes before you woke up…" Brandon said slowing his words as he said them. "That's convenient isn't it?"

Josh's jaw dropped. Brandon was legitimately accusing Josh of being passed out too long… on purpose? "Yeah next time I slip into unconsciousness after almost being eaten I'll make sure I wake up in time to make the last bus." Josh snapped at the man angrily.

"Go ahead and take that tone." Brandon replied, acting like he should be the one in control. "Blame me all you want. Just like Markus."

"I'm not blaming anyone, I just want you to believe me. It's not anyone's fault!" Josh pleaded hoping it might ease Brandon's mood a little.

Brandon thought quickly as he heard the sink water running in the other room, knowing Markus would reemerge any second. "Well…" He started…
