Description
Rowan's throat burned with the intensity of a roaring fire resulting in an unearthly shriek coming from his mouth. Alerted to the disturbance Almond ran into the kitchen to see Rowan writhing on the floor clutching at his throat and gasping like a man just pulled from a river after a bad storm. Seeing the opened bottle on the floor Almond realized that Rowan accidentally grabbed his bottle of gin that he was saving as a present for a friend in town and had drunk half the bottle in one go! “Almond! Help me please! It burns!” Rushing to his friend's side Almond tried to reassure the distressed and gasping naga that everything would be alright, “I know it hurts Rowan and I'm sorry. I forgot about that stuff being in there, no wonder you drank it instead of the water. But don't worry it won't hurt you permanently, the burning should subside after a minute or two.” Staying close to Almond's legs Rowan waited anxiously as the burning in his throat did eventually stop. Rubbing his throat and eyeing the half empty bottle like threatening creature Rowan lifted himself up and away from Almond's legs, “You mean you tinies drink that stuff like water? Are you insane?” “No, not normally, and definitely not in such a concentrated manner. Normally we mix a small amount of it with other things to enhance their flavors and enjoy it. Drinking it straight would make anyone think their throat was on fire. But it shouldn't have too much of an effect on someone your size Rowan.”, he said mentally hoping that he was correct. A sober Rowan could be a handful at the best of times, but a drunk one... who knows? Rowan righted himself glad to not have his throat burning anymore and feeling slightly red at having called out to Almond for help in such an undignified manner, in fact he felt so embarrassed that his whole body grew warm and his face changed to a deeper shade of red. The room swiveled and swirled in front of Rowan's eyes; his balance faltered and he he started to tumble forward a little, Almond caught him midfall and came to the conclusion that he had feared. Rowan was drunk!
The way Rowan fell and the weight of his still sizable frame caused Almond to trip and find himself pinned under the immediately snoozing naga. “Well, I've learned one thing today. Rowan cannot hold his liquor.” Almond groaned extracting himself from under the gently breathing naga marveling at his sprawled out form against the floor. “What am I going to do with you?”, he pondered scratching his head. “I guess the safest place for you would be the bed for now. I'll see what I can do about your shrunken self in the morning. Looks like I'm on the couch tonight, whoopee.”, Almond said while hoisting the inebriated snake-man onto his shoulders. “Yep, still pretty heavy despite being smaller than you were.”, Almond grunted depositing Rowan onto his bed. “Oh I'm gonna feel that in the morning”, he said cracking his back. “Still, he looks kind of cute when he's sleeping like that.” Almond walked over and gently brushed Rowan's cheek, “Good night you silly snake.”.
Almond turned to leave the room, but before he could take hold of the knob he found himself face-planting onto the floor. “Ow! What the hell!” Almond watched with great concern as Rowan's thick, muscular tail began enveloping him like it did in the shower, only this time there was pressure, a lot of pressure. While not completely suffocating Almond found his breathing labored as the dense muscle compressed his body together like it was in a living vice. Almond watched as Rowan's upper body crawled out of the bed and over to where his tail had coiled around him. His eyes were semi-closed with barely any of his auburn colored iris's peeking through the heavy lid. “Mmm..... prey.”, he groggily said lifting Almond up slightly from the floor. Almond's heart thundered in his ears at that statement; his worst fears were true, Rowan really did only see him as a plaything that could become a meal at any time. Almond's voice was barely a whisper as Rowan's coils compressed against his body not allowing for the red-headed human to breathe normally. Almond tried to plead with the inebriated naga that hovered menacingly above his head, “R-Rowan.....please d-don't.”
Slowly, Rowan's jaw expanded as wide as it could and started to move down towards Almond's face. The once lust bringing sight of Rowan's mouth now filled the petrified human with dread as he envisioned being dissolved alive within the being he thought to be his friend. To make matters worse Almond did not know if he could swallow someone his current size whole or not, a feeling that made his stomach drop. Those knife-like fangs could easily rend his flesh apart with no effort; and the pain would be unbearable not that Rowan would hear, he couldn't even scream with the pressure on his chest. “So this is it? This is how I die; food to a naga that I thought was my friend. Will he even care?”, Almond thought as his mind steadily darkened seeing the fleshy tunnel move closer to his face, saliva dripping onto his cheek as it closed in. Almond shut his eyes tight not wanting to see his doom approach any further than he had, all the while hoping someone would help him or that Rowan would somehow come to his senses.
Curiously, he did not feel the embrace of Rowan's mouth around his head; nor fangs sinking into his flesh. Instead, the formidable grip around his chest loosened allowing him a little more room for his lungs to move freely and restore his oxygen supply. Looking up Almond saw Rowan's groggy face suspended mere inches from his own making a strange noise. Rowan was sniffing him! The shapely olfactory organ twitched excitedly as it inhaled Almond's scent, each whiff longer than the last, almost savoring his smell. Until; gradually, a smile grew on the inebriated naga's face. It was a goofy smile; like one gets when they are not fully awake or are coming down from anesthesia, but it was a smile all the same. “Almond?”, Rowan's eyes opened a little and looked down at the slightly calmer human in his coils fixing him with a longing gaze. “Almoooond!”, he cooed in his drunken haze throwing his arms around Almond's head bringing it close to his chest. Rowan's heart beat pounded in Almond's ears and his chest vibrated as he spoke, “Almond not prey! Almond friend!” Rowan lowered his face towards Almond's gently smiling at the greatly relieved ginger in his coils. “Never will hurt Almond. Love Almond!” Forcing Almond back onto his chest Rowan kept repeating his last words in an excitedly giddy manner. “Love Almond! Love Almond! Love Almond!”, he shouted gently squeezing the human close to him.
While the jubilant snake-man continued his glee filled rant Almond found himself unable to control the emotions welling up to the surface of his mind at hearing Rowan say those words, words he had wanted to hear ever since their relationship started to develop. Joy filled tears streamed down his face along with the odd squeak of not being able to form coherent words to express how happy he was. “He does love me!” Hearing the odd sounds coming from the human in his coils Rowan released Almond from his chest staring at the wetness that came from his reddened eyes, slightly distressed at how his lover was crying. “Almond not feel good?”, he asked his voice concerned for Almond's well-being. “N-No, I'm fine. Hic! You s-silly snake!”, he responded trying to hide his tears. While Almond's spirits had been raised up higher than he had imagined that day, Rowan's booze addled mind was not convinced. In his drunken stupor all he saw was the one he loved showing signs of distress, something he would not allow. “I make Almond feel better!”
Before Almond could protest Rowan had lifted him off the ground and positioned him to where his legs dangled in front of Rowan's face. “Clothes stupid! Like Almond naked!”, Rowan growled gripping Almond's pants in his clawed hands digging into the fabric. Almond's eyes widened as he felt the naga's hand grasp at his pants leg, “Wait a minute Rowan, don't rip my...” It was too late; Almond felt the sharp pressure of his cloth pants being forcefully torn from his legs exposing his lower regions to the air. Giggling with naughty enthusiasm Rowan stared at the now exposed manhood of his human lover, “Hehe Almond looks much better this way” Almond grunted against the supple, steel-like coils that suspended him in the air, “Agh, Rowan that was my last pair of good pants. You could have at lea...mmph!” Almond's complaining was silenced by the sudden addition of Rowan's lips locking with his. His long, muscular tongue dancing around Almond's mouth wrapping around the blushing human's tongue and stroking against his cheeks.
Pulling away from Almond's mouth Almond watched as a little string of their saliva fell onto Almond's bare chest, Rowan was smiling. It was his trademark wolfish grin that Almond knew all too well, and what it entailed. “Mmm, never tasted Almond like that before. I like it! Wonder what else tastes good.” Almond watched with amazement as in a single fluid motion he was unfurled and lain down on the floor of his home with Rowan's tail acting as a bed. Rowan's intense, fiery eyes beamed into Almond's limpid, blue eyes taking in their wondrous gaze as they focused on the smirking naga. “Almond will like this!”, Rowan said unfurling his tongue to it's impressive length coming to a stop at the base of his neck. It circled along his neck, glid down his chest to his erect nipples occasionally stopping at one to gently nip at it with his teeth. “Almond taste really good.”, Rowan purred. Almond squeaked and moaned with pleasure as the lust-filled snake-man continued his exploration of Almond's body praising it with every movement of his tongue and caress of his hand. Reaching Almond's navel Rowan began kissing the entirety of his abdomen and dragging his tongue across Almond's exposed belly. Panting heavily and clutching at one of Rowan's coils Almond pleaded with the amorous naga, “Rowan! D-Don't stop!”
Obeying Almond's plea Rowan continued to tease and taste as much of Almond's upper body as he could until he decided he wanted to taste that part of Almond that always excited him, but he could never fully appreciate. Nuzzling Almond's thigh Rowan eyed the now fully erect organ in front of him thinking of how paying it some attention would make his human happy. The tip of Rowan's tongue flicked out and brushed against the tip of Almond's throbbing erection, caressing it tenderly and sliding down in a slow tease. It got the effect Rowan wanted as Almond wiggled and gasped feeling the slick, moist confines of Rowan's mouth engulf his manhood. Almond's hands found themselves caressing Rowan's hair and horns unable to do anything else as the snake-man continued with his plan to relieve Almond of his tension. His tongue swirled, and danced along Almond's quivering shaft savoring the salty-sweet taste it had to offer his tastebuds accompanied by the almost serenade like sounds of Almond's moans. Almond had felt the inside of Rowan's throat before; having slid down it on more than one occasion, but feeling the powerful suction of the fleshy tunnel grasping at his trembling penis was proving too much for Almond's senses to cope with.
Explosions rippled through Almond's mind as his body could no longer take the assault of the passionate naga's mouth and gave way to the wave of pleasure washing over him. Rowan slurped hard against the aching phallus of his human lover and swallowed the newly added salty flavor that had entered his mouth. “Almond feel better?”, he asked rubbing his cheek against Almond's chest enjoying the rise and fall of his heavy breathing. “Oh gods Rowan! That was amazing!”, looking down Almond saw Rowan's smirk return as his tail re-coiled around his midriff. “Not done yet Almond.”, he said coyly spinning Almond onto his front. Looking behind him Almond could see why he said he was not done yet, in fact there were two fully erect reasons why. Rowan gazed longingly at the peach shaped posterior presented before him, “Yummy.”, Rowan said reaching for Almond's left cheek and giving it a firm squeeze. Almond's skin tingled and danced as Rowan massaged his butt like a baker kneading dough, and much to his embarrassment found himself whimpering like a puppy at the naga's playful antics. Spreading Almond's soft cheeks Rowan's clever tongue found another way to make his human feel good. The slick muscle swirled around the quivering orifice, and slid along his perineum to tickle his balls, Almond was awash with pleasure at the tingling sensation of Rowan's teasing tongue. Finally, Rowan's tongue slid into Almond and like the tentacle of an octopus, explored the new fleshy confines with great delight.
Almond's legs tensed and wiggled at the strange sensation panting heavily at his renewed vigor. It was an unreal experience for the human in Rowan's coils; his mind grew fuzzy with every push, glide, and undulation of Rowan's tongue. Withdrawing his tongue from Almond's butt, Rowan smiled seeing the look Almond's face had taken on. It was adorable; his cheeks a deep red, his eyes practically begging him for more, and his mouth slightly open with a little drool coming out the side. Seizing the opportunity Rowan grabbed Almond's hips and positioned himself against Almond's butt. “R-Rowan I don't think they'll both..”, Almond's words were silenced and replaced with a sharp gasp as both of his lovers penises slid into him. At first the sensation was painful; forcing Almond to bite at Rowan's tail for the first couple of seconds, an action that only excited the horny snake-man even more adding vigor to Rowan's libido driven actions. But as Rowan's thrusts grew in tempo and power Almond began to melt at the intoxicating feeling of having Rowan inside of him, stimulating him in ways as of yet not possible. Rowan leaned against Almond's back and held him close as one hand fondled Almond's freshly erect penis while the other rubbed his belly. A low hiss resonated in Almond's ears as Rowan picked up speed; Almond was glad that he was being held upright, even with the tightening of Rowan's tail against his ribs in their fit of passion, because his legs were little better than jelly at this time.
With a small growl Rowan bit down onto Almond's shoulder; not enough to break skin or draw blood, but just enough to make him and his human climax with the ferocity of a volcano. The two collapsed on top of one another trying to catch their breath; until, eventually, Almond helped Rowan into his bed and nestled under the covers. “Can I hold Almond?”, Rowan asked a little hazily losing his ability to stay awake. Almond moved in to where Rowan's tail circled his legs while his arms held Almond close to his chest. “Mmm, love Almond.”, the drowsy naga said drifting off into a peaceful slumber. Choking back another happy sob Almond returned Rowan's sentiment, “I love you too Rowan.”
Rowan's head throbbed as the morning sun struck him in the face ripping him away from a peaceful sleep, “Agh my freaking head! I'm never touching that strange liquid again.” Looking down Rowan saw the happily snoozing visage of Almond nuzzling his chest, it made a smirk grow across his face as the red-headed human readjusted his arm under Rowan's back. “He's even cuter when he's sleeping.”, Rowan mused stroking Almond's hair. Slowly the human's eyes opened and came to see Rowan smiling down at him. “Good morning sleepy-head.”, Rowan grinned continuing to stroke Almond's head. Almond sat up and yawned while stretching his back, “Morning Rowan, How long have you been awake?” “Long enough to know how adorable you look when sleeping.” Almond blushed a little liking that Rowan enjoyed seeing him sleep.
“Hehe, not half as cute as you are when you're drunk. You get really silly when you've had one too many.” Rowan recalled the burning liquid and then some vague memories of him and Almond; specifically Almond in his coils, and him squeezing. “Funny you should mention that. I had this strange dream that I was constricting you last night. Must have been that weird drink you tinies consume.” Almond's eyes sank a little, “Almond. It was just a dream right?”, Rowan asked concerned at seeing the expression on Almond's face. Almond shook his head a little in response. “Nope, that was all real. After I put you to bed you wrapped me up in your tail and were about to try and eat me.” Rowan shifted his gaze away from Almond mentally chastising himself, “Gotta say seeing your fangs at this size were even scarier than when you're in your giant state. But, I'm pleased to say that I got away with only a few scrapes and bruises.”
Rowan eyed the bite mark on Almond's shoulder, “Did I do that?” Almond chuckled, “Well yes, but not in the way you're thinking about. That came after you let me go.” Rowan exhaled a sigh of relief. While that's what Almond saw on the outside, on the inside Rowan was screaming at himself about how he nearly hurt Almond. But now was not the time to lose his cool. “Well, it looks like things worked out for the best. Glad you're alive Almond.” Almond stared at the snake-man trying to maintain his composure, “Do you know why you let me go Rowan?” Feeling a little uncomfortable by the intensity of the human's stare Rowan tried to look away, “Guess I just wasn't hungry at the time. That meal we had before then was pretty big you know.” Almond frowned, “No, it's because you love me. You were practically singing it when you realized it was me in your coils and not some random human.”
Rowan's heart skipped a beat; he did have feelings for Almond, but he was unsure of how the human would react to him admitting it. Then there was his nature; being alone in the forest for so long Rowan only had to rely on himself for whatever he needed, he never had to worry about anyone else, let alone have someone to worry about him. But, with the sudden addition of another person in his life, Rowan found himself experiencing other, less well known wants and feelings. “W-What?! Oh come on Almond I wasn't in my right mind at the time. Perhaps I got a little hasty or something or....” “Is it really that hard to say?”, Almond's face shifted to a melancholic frown as he listened to the naga try and make an excuse to not own up to his feelings. “Is it really so hard to admit you have feelings for me? I certainly have them for you, and I always let you know that. You even said you'd never hurt me. So tell me, do you love me Rowan?” The normally calm and confident naga fidgeted and squirmed with his tail desperately wanting to leave and avoid this conversation. But the pained, almost agonized look on Almond's face was leveling the walls Rowan had built around himself. “Come on Rowan, just say it. You love me don't you?”
Feeling that he was about to burst Rowan relented, “Of course I love you, you persistent tiny! Why else would I come to your home in the middle of a storm and seek shelter?! I don't trust anyone else but you!” Almond watched as the normally calm and collected naga took hold of one of his pillows and gripped it to his chest. “I know I can count on you Almond. Even though I tried to eat you all those months ago you still stuck by my side. Never once did you betray me, threaten me, or cause me harm in any way. Whenever I was feeling down you would go out of your way to try and make me smile. Heck you even put up with me snatching you up to play every night.” Rowan released his grip from the pillow, “I feel safe around you Almond. Sounds silly I know, but I love just being around you. You're always smiling, you don't hate me for eating your kind. You didn't even make fun of me when you saw me as I am. I seriously doubt anyone else on this island would do the same. So yes Almond; I love you, is that what you want to hear?!”
Before Rowan could look to Almond for a response he found himself locked in the human's arms squeezing him for all they were worth. “I love you too Rowan. I would do anything for my silly snake.” Rowan's eyes started to water as he felt the human's embrace get a little tighter; it was warm, loving, and genuine. Rowan was happy. “And now Mr. Snake, I'm going to show you just how much I love you.” Rowan watched with awe struck excitement as Almond pinned his arms to the bed and started kissing him. He really loved him!
The morning had shifted to the afternoon and Almond was preparing to go out hunting. He needed to sell something at the markets if he was going to get some new pants after the impetuous naga had unceremoniously rid Almond of his more substantial pair. An act that Rowan not only apologized for, but also offered his services in acquiring. Even at his current size Rowan was a most proficient hunter and could tell where certain game were hiding even before his human detected them. Almond marveled at the naga's senses; never could he detect prey with such precision, Rowan's nose especially proved useful in the tracking of a particularly large boar that had been evading Almond for some weeks. The beast was massive; easily a thousand pounds of muscle, fat, fur, and tusks. Almond instructed Rowan to climb a tree with him where they would try to ambush the creature, this typically proved to be the best method for him to hunt boar with as they are unable to look directly upwards. Before Almond could scale a tree Rowan forced Almond onto his back and effortlessly glid along the tree's massive trunk to where they could easily see the brute coming closer to them. “Alright; first I'll lure him in with his bait, and then we'll nab him. Just be careful Rowan, these animals are no joke when it comes to their tenacity and power.”
Rowan chuckled at Almond's concern, “Don't worry Almond, no boar can best the two of us. I'll wait for your signal and then we'll get him.” Dropping some leftovers from the night before Almond waited for the massive porcine monstrosity to come into range. It snuffled at the leftover bread and fruit debating if it was something edible. “Oh so that's why he wouldn't let me eat those this morning. I'll have to remember this trick for my own traps. Maybe some tinies will fall for it.”, Rowan thought watching the boar. Almond glanced over to Rowan and nodded; in a trice they were on the immense creature with Rowan coiling around its chest and legs while Almond kept the tusk end focused on him.
The creature let out an ear piercing squeal of battle and put up an intense fight; it bucked at the feeling of Rowan squeezing its ribs together, and stamped its hooves whenever Almond tried to bait it towards him. The beast almost caught Almond in the leg with one of its spear-like tusks just barely knicking his trouser calf, an action that infuriated the naga around its abdomen to apply even more pressure and crack one or two ribs. Rowan gained a new respect for Almond and what he did in order to make a living. He was an amazing human indeed to willingly do this on a regular basis. Panting the great beast crumbled to ground and fell onto its side unable to keep up its assault with the strength of Rowan's coils cutting off its oxygen; Almond moved swiftly around its body to the back of the neck, and in one swift motion buried his blade into the creature's brain-stem. A guttural gasp escaped the fatigued creature, and then it was still, its eyes glazing over almost instantly.
Releasing the still creature Rowan rushed over to Almond examining his leg for any sign of injury, “He didn't get you did he?” Almond laughed at Rowan feeling all up and down his leg looking for injuries, “No, he missed me thank goodness. Have to be doubly careful with those things; they're very strong, and they can fight with the best of any being. But you did spectacularly on your first regular sized hunt Rowan. I'm proud of you.” Rowan beamed at the compliment that his human lover afforded him, after all he did play a critical part in securing the boar and wearing it down. But hearing it from his lover made it all the more special.
Rowan was not a particular fan of watching Almond dress the boar and break it down into smaller, more manageable chunks, an action that Almond giggled at. “He eats people and animals whole, but a little blood turns his stomach. Hehe that's funny.” Rowan offered to secure the rest of the carcass for Almond as it was a mighty haul, but the red-headed hunter had to decline. “No thank you Rowan, I got what I needed from the beast. These are the bits I sell at market to butchers and furriers.”, he said pointing to the legs, pelts, and more muscle laden parts of the beast.” The rest of the animal is not something I can sell and this small cart is loaded to the brim. The rest I'll leave for scavengers to clean away, also keeps them from harassing me on the trail. Everyone seems to love pork. That bit you've got is going to be our supper tonight, so when you get back to the tree just put it in the top part of the cold box alright.” Rowan nodded, “Sure thing Almond. But are you sure you'll be alright by yourself? What if something comes after you and I'm not there? Or what..”
Almond placed a finger to the worried naga's lips. “Don't worry about me too much Rowan. I'm not as helpless as you sometimes think. After all, I survive your silliness on a daily basis don't I?” With that Almond set off in the direction of the human city happily whistling to himself as he disappeared into the woods. Rowan slithered back to the tree-house and placed the large shank of meat into the top part of the cold box as he was instructed. Reaching into the main body he procured a bottle of water to cool himself off. Off to the side he saw the dreaded bottle of clear liquid that had burned his throat and sent him into a drunken stupor. An item he softly hissed at as he removed the cap from the new bottle, this time sampling it just to be safe. His thirst quenched, Rowan returned to Almond's room to await the arrival of his beloved human.
He busied himself by further exploring the confines of Almond's home marveling at how one human could do so much all by himself in the middle of a forest. Almond's bed proved to be a source of amusement to Rowan as he shifted and slid all along the cushiony material happily trilling as he his coils sunk into the the squishy bed. “Too bad there isn't one of these in my normal size.” Rowan's eyes opened in realization to what he had said. Would he get back to his normal size? The idea was concerning to him; he felt more exposed at this size, especially in knowing about some of the dangers of the island. What's more, Rowan feared that he would not be able to adequately protect Almond at this size from some of the more wild inhabitants that might seek to do him harm.
Still, Rowan could not help but smile at being able to be so close to the one he loved; to enjoy the delights of someone his size, and to more appreciate the sensations his cute little body had to offer. The downstairs door opened and closed indicating that Almond had returned; Rowan smirked at the idea that formed into his head on how he would greet his human lover. Stretching his shoulders Almond took a seat at his table, “Rowan, I'm back. You in here?” Almond found himself suddenly airborne with Rowan's coils gently swirling around him bringing him to Rowan's face. “Rawr! I'm gonna eat you!”, Rowan teased sliding his tongue out in a playfully menacing fashion. Almond laughed, “Promises, promises. I take it you missed me?” Returning his human to the chair Rowan chuckled and brought him a bottle of water, again checking it was the right one. “Just a little. Can't have anyone else sneaking off with you, that's my job.”
Almond regaled Rowan with his dealings in the market, about how he had to haggle with the butchers over the quality of the meat while trying to explain the odd break in the creature's ribs that looked like a steel beam had crushed it. Rowan smiled at the effectiveness of his coils and how Almond spoke highly about them. Next Almond showed him the massive purse he had gotten from the kill the two had acquired, “We made a lot of coins today Rowan. This is the most I've ever brought back even after spending a little of it.” Rowan jingled the purse and smiled at Rowan's happiness over the contents of the bag; he himself had no real interest in the shiny pieces of metal, but he was glad his human was happy with their success. “So, what did you get Almond?” First, Almond showed Rowan four pairs of pants that were laced with Arachne silk so there would be less chance of tearing, a purchase Almond was particularly proud of.
“How about you model them for me Almond. I could give you a thorough report.” Almond blushed at the suggestive tone in Rowan's voice, while he liked the idea of “modeling” himself for Rowan he had something else to show him. “Now this I know you will like. Close your eyes now Rowan, and no peaking.” Smirking, Rowan obliged at the giddy tone of his lover as he walked back towards the stairs. A smell came to Rowan's nose; it was a delicious smell, one he remembered, but it was mingled with a myriad of other equally appetizing scents. “Alright, open up!” Opening his eyes Rowan saw that Almond had placed a variety of treats and confectioneries on the table. Chocolate covered pastries, crème-filled cakes, fresh-baked breads, and all other manner of goodies. “These are from my friend Antoine's bakery; when I told him I wanted a selection of yummy things for someone special to me that had not tried baked-goods before he insisted I load up. I hope you like them.”
Again Almond found himself in a tight, but loving embrace, “These all look amazing Almond! Thank you very much!” Almond blushed seeing the naga so happy, he loved it when Rowan smiled, and it made him smile seeing it. The two indulged in the decadent treats till their bellies could handle no more, “Oh that was delicious. Seriously point him and his son out to me so I don't eat them by accident. Antoine you said right?” Almond slapped his forehead, “Crap! I forgot to ask his son's name again. I always forget it since I've never actually met him. I'll remember next time.” Rowan smirked, “For shame Almond, forgetting like that. You'll have to be punished.” Almond trembled with excitement seeing that grin come to Rowan's face it always meant he was in for a wild time. But no wild time was to be had that night; both Almond and Rowan passed out almost as soon as they made it to the bed, snuggling together to try and shake away the tiredness that their muscles felt from the hunt gently snoring the night away.
Almond awoke to a sudden addition of pressure to his chest; it was Rowan, and he had gotten bigger! Rowan's frame seemed to grow right in front of him! Scrambling out from underneath his lover Almond patted his head in an attempt to wake him. “Rowan wake up! You have to get out now!” Rowan shifted his arms almost knocking Almond over onto the floor his voice groaning with sleepiness, “Ngh, come on Almond let me sleep. We'll have all of tomorrow to play.” “Not if you squish me and trap yourself in my home you won't! Come on wake up!”, Almond shouted lifting Rowan's eyelid open. Growling a little in frustration Rowan lifted himself up to address the annoyingly persistent human, but instead ended up clutching at his head as a sharp pain reverberated through his skull. Looking up Rowan saw that he had bumped his head against the ceiling and was steadily getting bigger.
Almond dashed for the window and flung it open shouting for Rowan, “Over here! Quick!” Rowan had to squeeze a little to get himself through the now narrow opening, but with Almond pushing at his rear and Rowan forcing himself back onto the ground the two just narrowly avoided an unpleasant outcome. Almond watched, amazed at how Rowan's body gradually returned to its natural size and stature. Looking his body over Rowan smiled, “I'm normal again!” Almond was happy that his lover had gotten back to his normal size, especially seeing how jubilant he was admiring his physique. But a part of him was sad that he would likely not get to hold him the same way as when he was more Almond's size; it was a fleeting sadness, as he could not help but join in the celebration. Coming down from their excitement Rowan came back to the window of his lover, “Guess things are back to normal eh Almond?”
Almond chuckled, “Yeah, I suppose they are. I'm glad you're back to normal Rowan, I know how much it bothered you being my size.” Rowan smiled softly at Almond, despite his outward appearance he could tell that Almond was a little sad. “Well, it wasn't all bad; we got to have some fun with each other in a different way, and I got to see a little more of your world. So don't act like I won't be around every day and night to check up on you and steal you away.” Almond smiled, “Yeah, I look forward to it. I am happy for you Rowan, I really am.” Rowan leaned in close to the window so that he could look his human lover in the eye, “Almond, about what we talked about yesterday, I want you to know that even if I don't say it out loud as often as I should I will always love you. You're my tiny and I'm your naga, and nothing can change that, heaven help the idiot that tries.” Almond leaned in against the giant cheek of his naga lover and gave it a big hug. Despite Almond not being able to wrap his arms around Rowan's body, Rowan could still feel the warmth the resonated from the human.
Rowan carefully lifted Almond from the window opening and out into the night air smiling down at the human in his hands. “I am a lucky naga.”, he thought hugging Almond to his chest. “Still want to sleep together tonight Rowan?”, Almond offered looking up to the grinning naga. Rowan nodded happily and allowed Almond to retrieve a blanket before returning him to his chest and coiling around himself for added warmth. Their relationship had grown much within those short couple of days; the bonds of trust and understanding deepening within both of their minds about the other, and the two were all the more excited for it as they snuggled against one another returning to their peaceful sleep.

Description
Rowan's throat burned with the intensity of a roaring fire resulting in an unearthly shriek coming from his mouth. Alerted to the disturbance Almond ran into the kitchen to see Rowan writhing on the floor clutching at his throat and gasping like a man just pulled from a river after a bad storm. Seeing the opened bottle on the floor Almond realized that Rowan accidentally grabbed his bottle of gin that he was saving as a present for a friend in town and had drunk half the bottle in one go! “Almond! Help me please! It burns!” Rushing to his friend's side Almond tried to reassure the distressed and gasping naga that everything would be alright, “I know it hurts Rowan and I'm sorry. I forgot about that stuff being in there, no wonder you drank it instead of the water. But don't worry it won't hurt you permanently, the burning should subside after a minute or two.” Staying close to Almond's legs Rowan waited anxiously as the burning in his throat did eventually stop. Rubbing his throat and eyeing the half empty bottle like threatening creature Rowan lifted himself up and away from Almond's legs, “You mean you tinies drink that stuff like water? Are you insane?” “No, not normally, and definitely not in such a concentrated manner. Normally we mix a small amount of it with other things to enhance their flavors and enjoy it. Drinking it straight would make anyone think their throat was on fire. But it shouldn't have too much of an effect on someone your size Rowan.”, he said mentally hoping that he was correct. A sober Rowan could be a handful at the best of times, but a drunk one... who knows? Rowan righted himself glad to not have his throat burning anymore and feeling slightly red at having called out to Almond for help in such an undignified manner, in fact he felt so embarrassed that his whole body grew warm and his face changed to a deeper shade of red. The room swiveled and swirled in front of Rowan's eyes; his balance faltered and he he started to tumble forward a little, Almond caught him midfall and came to the conclusion that he had feared. Rowan was drunk!
The way Rowan fell and the weight of his still sizable frame caused Almond to trip and find himself pinned under the immediately snoozing naga. “Well, I've learned one thing today. Rowan cannot hold his liquor.” Almond groaned extracting himself from under the gently breathing naga marveling at his sprawled out form against the floor. “What am I going to do with you?”, he pondered scratching his head. “I guess the safest place for you would be the bed for now. I'll see what I can do about your shrunken self in the morning. Looks like I'm on the couch tonight, whoopee.”, Almond said while hoisting the inebriated snake-man onto his shoulders. “Yep, still pretty heavy despite being smaller than you were.”, Almond grunted depositing Rowan onto his bed. “Oh I'm gonna feel that in the morning”, he said cracking his back. “Still, he looks kind of cute when he's sleeping like that.” Almond walked over and gently brushed Rowan's cheek, “Good night you silly snake.”.
Almond turned to leave the room, but before he could take hold of the knob he found himself face-planting onto the floor. “Ow! What the hell!” Almond watched with great concern as Rowan's thick, muscular tail began enveloping him like it did in the shower, only this time there was pressure, a lot of pressure. While not completely suffocating Almond found his breathing labored as the dense muscle compressed his body together like it was in a living vice. Almond watched as Rowan's upper body crawled out of the bed and over to where his tail had coiled around him. His eyes were semi-closed with barely any of his auburn colored iris's peeking through the heavy lid. “Mmm..... prey.”, he groggily said lifting Almond up slightly from the floor. Almond's heart thundered in his ears at that statement; his worst fears were true, Rowan really did only see him as a plaything that could become a meal at any time. Almond's voice was barely a whisper as Rowan's coils compressed against his body not allowing for the red-headed human to breathe normally. Almond tried to plead with the inebriated naga that hovered menacingly above his head, “R-Rowan.....please d-don't.”
Slowly, Rowan's jaw expanded as wide as it could and started to move down towards Almond's face. The once lust bringing sight of Rowan's mouth now filled the petrified human with dread as he envisioned being dissolved alive within the being he thought to be his friend. To make matters worse Almond did not know if he could swallow someone his current size whole or not, a feeling that made his stomach drop. Those knife-like fangs could easily rend his flesh apart with no effort; and the pain would be unbearable not that Rowan would hear, he couldn't even scream with the pressure on his chest. “So this is it? This is how I die; food to a naga that I thought was my friend. Will he even care?”, Almond thought as his mind steadily darkened seeing the fleshy tunnel move closer to his face, saliva dripping onto his cheek as it closed in. Almond shut his eyes tight not wanting to see his doom approach any further than he had, all the while hoping someone would help him or that Rowan would somehow come to his senses.
Curiously, he did not feel the embrace of Rowan's mouth around his head; nor fangs sinking into his flesh. Instead, the formidable grip around his chest loosened allowing him a little more room for his lungs to move freely and restore his oxygen supply. Looking up Almond saw Rowan's groggy face suspended mere inches from his own making a strange noise. Rowan was sniffing him! The shapely olfactory organ twitched excitedly as it inhaled Almond's scent, each whiff longer than the last, almost savoring his smell. Until; gradually, a smile grew on the inebriated naga's face. It was a goofy smile; like one gets when they are not fully awake or are coming down from anesthesia, but it was a smile all the same. “Almond?”, Rowan's eyes opened a little and looked down at the slightly calmer human in his coils fixing him with a longing gaze. “Almoooond!”, he cooed in his drunken haze throwing his arms around Almond's head bringing it close to his chest. Rowan's heart beat pounded in Almond's ears and his chest vibrated as he spoke, “Almond not prey! Almond friend!” Rowan lowered his face towards Almond's gently smiling at the greatly relieved ginger in his coils. “Never will hurt Almond. Love Almond!” Forcing Almond back onto his chest Rowan kept repeating his last words in an excitedly giddy manner. “Love Almond! Love Almond! Love Almond!”, he shouted gently squeezing the human close to him.
While the jubilant snake-man continued his glee filled rant Almond found himself unable to control the emotions welling up to the surface of his mind at hearing Rowan say those words, words he had wanted to hear ever since their relationship started to develop. Joy filled tears streamed down his face along with the odd squeak of not being able to form coherent words to express how happy he was. “He does love me!” Hearing the odd sounds coming from the human in his coils Rowan released Almond from his chest staring at the wetness that came from his reddened eyes, slightly distressed at how his lover was crying. “Almond not feel good?”, he asked his voice concerned for Almond's well-being. “N-No, I'm fine. Hic! You s-silly snake!”, he responded trying to hide his tears. While Almond's spirits had been raised up higher than he had imagined that day, Rowan's booze addled mind was not convinced. In his drunken stupor all he saw was the one he loved showing signs of distress, something he would not allow. “I make Almond feel better!”
Before Almond could protest Rowan had lifted him off the ground and positioned him to where his legs dangled in front of Rowan's face. “Clothes stupid! Like Almond naked!”, Rowan growled gripping Almond's pants in his clawed hands digging into the fabric. Almond's eyes widened as he felt the naga's hand grasp at his pants leg, “Wait a minute Rowan, don't rip my...” It was too late; Almond felt the sharp pressure of his cloth pants being forcefully torn from his legs exposing his lower regions to the air. Giggling with naughty enthusiasm Rowan stared at the now exposed manhood of his human lover, “Hehe Almond looks much better this way” Almond grunted against the supple, steel-like coils that suspended him in the air, “Agh, Rowan that was my last pair of good pants. You could have at lea...mmph!” Almond's complaining was silenced by the sudden addition of Rowan's lips locking with his. His long, muscular tongue dancing around Almond's mouth wrapping around the blushing human's tongue and stroking against his cheeks.
Pulling away from Almond's mouth Almond watched as a little string of their saliva fell onto Almond's bare chest, Rowan was smiling. It was his trademark wolfish grin that Almond knew all too well, and what it entailed. “Mmm, never tasted Almond like that before. I like it! Wonder what else tastes good.” Almond watched with amazement as in a single fluid motion he was unfurled and lain down on the floor of his home with Rowan's tail acting as a bed. Rowan's intense, fiery eyes beamed into Almond's limpid, blue eyes taking in their wondrous gaze as they focused on the smirking naga. “Almond will like this!”, Rowan said unfurling his tongue to it's impressive length coming to a stop at the base of his neck. It circled along his neck, glid down his chest to his erect nipples occasionally stopping at one to gently nip at it with his teeth. “Almond taste really good.”, Rowan purred. Almond squeaked and moaned with pleasure as the lust-filled snake-man continued his exploration of Almond's body praising it with every movement of his tongue and caress of his hand. Reaching Almond's navel Rowan began kissing the entirety of his abdomen and dragging his tongue across Almond's exposed belly. Panting heavily and clutching at one of Rowan's coils Almond pleaded with the amorous naga, “Rowan! D-Don't stop!”
Obeying Almond's plea Rowan continued to tease and taste as much of Almond's upper body as he could until he decided he wanted to taste that part of Almond that always excited him, but he could never fully appreciate. Nuzzling Almond's thigh Rowan eyed the now fully erect organ in front of him thinking of how paying it some attention would make his human happy. The tip of Rowan's tongue flicked out and brushed against the tip of Almond's throbbing erection, caressing it tenderly and sliding down in a slow tease. It got the effect Rowan wanted as Almond wiggled and gasped feeling the slick, moist confines of Rowan's mouth engulf his manhood. Almond's hands found themselves caressing Rowan's hair and horns unable to do anything else as the snake-man continued with his plan to relieve Almond of his tension. His tongue swirled, and danced along Almond's quivering shaft savoring the salty-sweet taste it had to offer his tastebuds accompanied by the almost serenade like sounds of Almond's moans. Almond had felt the inside of Rowan's throat before; having slid down it on more than one occasion, but feeling the powerful suction of the fleshy tunnel grasping at his trembling penis was proving too much for Almond's senses to cope with.
Explosions rippled through Almond's mind as his body could no longer take the assault of the passionate naga's mouth and gave way to the wave of pleasure washing over him. Rowan slurped hard against the aching phallus of his human lover and swallowed the newly added salty flavor that had entered his mouth. “Almond feel better?”, he asked rubbing his cheek against Almond's chest enjoying the rise and fall of his heavy breathing. “Oh gods Rowan! That was amazing!”, looking down Almond saw Rowan's smirk return as his tail re-coiled around his midriff. “Not done yet Almond.”, he said coyly spinning Almond onto his front. Looking behind him Almond could see why he said he was not done yet, in fact there were two fully erect reasons why. Rowan gazed longingly at the peach shaped posterior presented before him, “Yummy.”, Rowan said reaching for Almond's left cheek and giving it a firm squeeze. Almond's skin tingled and danced as Rowan massaged his butt like a baker kneading dough, and much to his embarrassment found himself whimpering like a puppy at the naga's playful antics. Spreading Almond's soft cheeks Rowan's clever tongue found another way to make his human feel good. The slick muscle swirled around the quivering orifice, and slid along his perineum to tickle his balls, Almond was awash with pleasure at the tingling sensation of Rowan's teasing tongue. Finally, Rowan's tongue slid into Almond and like the tentacle of an octopus, explored the new fleshy confines with great delight.
Almond's legs tensed and wiggled at the strange sensation panting heavily at his renewed vigor. It was an unreal experience for the human in Rowan's coils; his mind grew fuzzy with every push, glide, and undulation of Rowan's tongue. Withdrawing his tongue from Almond's butt, Rowan smiled seeing the look Almond's face had taken on. It was adorable; his cheeks a deep red, his eyes practically begging him for more, and his mouth slightly open with a little drool coming out the side. Seizing the opportunity Rowan grabbed Almond's hips and positioned himself against Almond's butt. “R-Rowan I don't think they'll both..”, Almond's words were silenced and replaced with a sharp gasp as both of his lovers penises slid into him. At first the sensation was painful; forcing Almond to bite at Rowan's tail for the first couple of seconds, an action that only excited the horny snake-man even more adding vigor to Rowan's libido driven actions. But as Rowan's thrusts grew in tempo and power Almond began to melt at the intoxicating feeling of having Rowan inside of him, stimulating him in ways as of yet not possible. Rowan leaned against Almond's back and held him close as one hand fondled Almond's freshly erect penis while the other rubbed his belly. A low hiss resonated in Almond's ears as Rowan picked up speed; Almond was glad that he was being held upright, even with the tightening of Rowan's tail against his ribs in their fit of passion, because his legs were little better than jelly at this time.
With a small growl Rowan bit down onto Almond's shoulder; not enough to break skin or draw blood, but just enough to make him and his human climax with the ferocity of a volcano. The two collapsed on top of one another trying to catch their breath; until, eventually, Almond helped Rowan into his bed and nestled under the covers. “Can I hold Almond?”, Rowan asked a little hazily losing his ability to stay awake. Almond moved in to where Rowan's tail circled his legs while his arms held Almond close to his chest. “Mmm, love Almond.”, the drowsy naga said drifting off into a peaceful slumber. Choking back another happy sob Almond returned Rowan's sentiment, “I love you too Rowan.”
Rowan's head throbbed as the morning sun struck him in the face ripping him away from a peaceful sleep, “Agh my freaking head! I'm never touching that strange liquid again.” Looking down Rowan saw the happily snoozing visage of Almond nuzzling his chest, it made a smirk grow across his face as the red-headed human readjusted his arm under Rowan's back. “He's even cuter when he's sleeping.”, Rowan mused stroking Almond's hair. Slowly the human's eyes opened and came to see Rowan smiling down at him. “Good morning sleepy-head.”, Rowan grinned continuing to stroke Almond's head. Almond sat up and yawned while stretching his back, “Morning Rowan, How long have you been awake?” “Long enough to know how adorable you look when sleeping.” Almond blushed a little liking that Rowan enjoyed seeing him sleep.
“Hehe, not half as cute as you are when you're drunk. You get really silly when you've had one too many.” Rowan recalled the burning liquid and then some vague memories of him and Almond; specifically Almond in his coils, and him squeezing. “Funny you should mention that. I had this strange dream that I was constricting you last night. Must have been that weird drink you tinies consume.” Almond's eyes sank a little, “Almond. It was just a dream right?”, Rowan asked concerned at seeing the expression on Almond's face. Almond shook his head a little in response. “Nope, that was all real. After I put you to bed you wrapped me up in your tail and were about to try and eat me.” Rowan shifted his gaze away from Almond mentally chastising himself, “Gotta say seeing your fangs at this size were even scarier than when you're in your giant state. But, I'm pleased to say that I got away with only a few scrapes and bruises.”
Rowan eyed the bite mark on Almond's shoulder, “Did I do that?” Almond chuckled, “Well yes, but not in the way you're thinking about. That came after you let me go.” Rowan exhaled a sigh of relief. While that's what Almond saw on the outside, on the inside Rowan was screaming at himself about how he nearly hurt Almond. But now was not the time to lose his cool. “Well, it looks like things worked out for the best. Glad you're alive Almond.” Almond stared at the snake-man trying to maintain his composure, “Do you know why you let me go Rowan?” Feeling a little uncomfortable by the intensity of the human's stare Rowan tried to look away, “Guess I just wasn't hungry at the time. That meal we had before then was pretty big you know.” Almond frowned, “No, it's because you love me. You were practically singing it when you realized it was me in your coils and not some random human.”
Rowan's heart skipped a beat; he did have feelings for Almond, but he was unsure of how the human would react to him admitting it. Then there was his nature; being alone in the forest for so long Rowan only had to rely on himself for whatever he needed, he never had to worry about anyone else, let alone have someone to worry about him. But, with the sudden addition of another person in his life, Rowan found himself experiencing other, less well known wants and feelings. “W-What?! Oh come on Almond I wasn't in my right mind at the time. Perhaps I got a little hasty or something or....” “Is it really that hard to say?”, Almond's face shifted to a melancholic frown as he listened to the naga try and make an excuse to not own up to his feelings. “Is it really so hard to admit you have feelings for me? I certainly have them for you, and I always let you know that. You even said you'd never hurt me. So tell me, do you love me Rowan?” The normally calm and confident naga fidgeted and squirmed with his tail desperately wanting to leave and avoid this conversation. But the pained, almost agonized look on Almond's face was leveling the walls Rowan had built around himself. “Come on Rowan, just say it. You love me don't you?”
Feeling that he was about to burst Rowan relented, “Of course I love you, you persistent tiny! Why else would I come to your home in the middle of a storm and seek shelter?! I don't trust anyone else but you!” Almond watched as the normally calm and collected naga took hold of one of his pillows and gripped it to his chest. “I know I can count on you Almond. Even though I tried to eat you all those months ago you still stuck by my side. Never once did you betray me, threaten me, or cause me harm in any way. Whenever I was feeling down you would go out of your way to try and make me smile. Heck you even put up with me snatching you up to play every night.” Rowan released his grip from the pillow, “I feel safe around you Almond. Sounds silly I know, but I love just being around you. You're always smiling, you don't hate me for eating your kind. You didn't even make fun of me when you saw me as I am. I seriously doubt anyone else on this island would do the same. So yes Almond; I love you, is that what you want to hear?!”
Before Rowan could look to Almond for a response he found himself locked in the human's arms squeezing him for all they were worth. “I love you too Rowan. I would do anything for my silly snake.” Rowan's eyes started to water as he felt the human's embrace get a little tighter; it was warm, loving, and genuine. Rowan was happy. “And now Mr. Snake, I'm going to show you just how much I love you.” Rowan watched with awe struck excitement as Almond pinned his arms to the bed and started kissing him. He really loved him!
The morning had shifted to the afternoon and Almond was preparing to go out hunting. He needed to sell something at the markets if he was going to get some new pants after the impetuous naga had unceremoniously rid Almond of his more substantial pair. An act that Rowan not only apologized for, but also offered his services in acquiring. Even at his current size Rowan was a most proficient hunter and could tell where certain game were hiding even before his human detected them. Almond marveled at the naga's senses; never could he detect prey with such precision, Rowan's nose especially proved useful in the tracking of a particularly large boar that had been evading Almond for some weeks. The beast was massive; easily a thousand pounds of muscle, fat, fur, and tusks. Almond instructed Rowan to climb a tree with him where they would try to ambush the creature, this typically proved to be the best method for him to hunt boar with as they are unable to look directly upwards. Before Almond could scale a tree Rowan forced Almond onto his back and effortlessly glid along the tree's massive trunk to where they could easily see the brute coming closer to them. “Alright; first I'll lure him in with his bait, and then we'll nab him. Just be careful Rowan, these animals are no joke when it comes to their tenacity and power.”
Rowan chuckled at Almond's concern, “Don't worry Almond, no boar can best the two of us. I'll wait for your signal and then we'll get him.” Dropping some leftovers from the night before Almond waited for the massive porcine monstrosity to come into range. It snuffled at the leftover bread and fruit debating if it was something edible. “Oh so that's why he wouldn't let me eat those this morning. I'll have to remember this trick for my own traps. Maybe some tinies will fall for it.”, Rowan thought watching the boar. Almond glanced over to Rowan and nodded; in a trice they were on the immense creature with Rowan coiling around its chest and legs while Almond kept the tusk end focused on him.
The creature let out an ear piercing squeal of battle and put up an intense fight; it bucked at the feeling of Rowan squeezing its ribs together, and stamped its hooves whenever Almond tried to bait it towards him. The beast almost caught Almond in the leg with one of its spear-like tusks just barely knicking his trouser calf, an action that infuriated the naga around its abdomen to apply even more pressure and crack one or two ribs. Rowan gained a new respect for Almond and what he did in order to make a living. He was an amazing human indeed to willingly do this on a regular basis. Panting the great beast crumbled to ground and fell onto its side unable to keep up its assault with the strength of Rowan's coils cutting off its oxygen; Almond moved swiftly around its body to the back of the neck, and in one swift motion buried his blade into the creature's brain-stem. A guttural gasp escaped the fatigued creature, and then it was still, its eyes glazing over almost instantly.
Releasing the still creature Rowan rushed over to Almond examining his leg for any sign of injury, “He didn't get you did he?” Almond laughed at Rowan feeling all up and down his leg looking for injuries, “No, he missed me thank goodness. Have to be doubly careful with those things; they're very strong, and they can fight with the best of any being. But you did spectacularly on your first regular sized hunt Rowan. I'm proud of you.” Rowan beamed at the compliment that his human lover afforded him, after all he did play a critical part in securing the boar and wearing it down. But hearing it from his lover made it all the more special.
Rowan was not a particular fan of watching Almond dress the boar and break it down into smaller, more manageable chunks, an action that Almond giggled at. “He eats people and animals whole, but a little blood turns his stomach. Hehe that's funny.” Rowan offered to secure the rest of the carcass for Almond as it was a mighty haul, but the red-headed hunter had to decline. “No thank you Rowan, I got what I needed from the beast. These are the bits I sell at market to butchers and furriers.”, he said pointing to the legs, pelts, and more muscle laden parts of the beast.” The rest of the animal is not something I can sell and this small cart is loaded to the brim. The rest I'll leave for scavengers to clean away, also keeps them from harassing me on the trail. Everyone seems to love pork. That bit you've got is going to be our supper tonight, so when you get back to the tree just put it in the top part of the cold box alright.” Rowan nodded, “Sure thing Almond. But are you sure you'll be alright by yourself? What if something comes after you and I'm not there? Or what..”
Almond placed a finger to the worried naga's lips. “Don't worry about me too much Rowan. I'm not as helpless as you sometimes think. After all, I survive your silliness on a daily basis don't I?” With that Almond set off in the direction of the human city happily whistling to himself as he disappeared into the woods. Rowan slithered back to the tree-house and placed the large shank of meat into the top part of the cold box as he was instructed. Reaching into the main body he procured a bottle of water to cool himself off. Off to the side he saw the dreaded bottle of clear liquid that had burned his throat and sent him into a drunken stupor. An item he softly hissed at as he removed the cap from the new bottle, this time sampling it just to be safe. His thirst quenched, Rowan returned to Almond's room to await the arrival of his beloved human.
He busied himself by further exploring the confines of Almond's home marveling at how one human could do so much all by himself in the middle of a forest. Almond's bed proved to be a source of amusement to Rowan as he shifted and slid all along the cushiony material happily trilling as he his coils sunk into the the squishy bed. “Too bad there isn't one of these in my normal size.” Rowan's eyes opened in realization to what he had said. Would he get back to his normal size? The idea was concerning to him; he felt more exposed at this size, especially in knowing about some of the dangers of the island. What's more, Rowan feared that he would not be able to adequately protect Almond at this size from some of the more wild inhabitants that might seek to do him harm.
Still, Rowan could not help but smile at being able to be so close to the one he loved; to enjoy the delights of someone his size, and to more appreciate the sensations his cute little body had to offer. The downstairs door opened and closed indicating that Almond had returned; Rowan smirked at the idea that formed into his head on how he would greet his human lover. Stretching his shoulders Almond took a seat at his table, “Rowan, I'm back. You in here?” Almond found himself suddenly airborne with Rowan's coils gently swirling around him bringing him to Rowan's face. “Rawr! I'm gonna eat you!”, Rowan teased sliding his tongue out in a playfully menacing fashion. Almond laughed, “Promises, promises. I take it you missed me?” Returning his human to the chair Rowan chuckled and brought him a bottle of water, again checking it was the right one. “Just a little. Can't have anyone else sneaking off with you, that's my job.”
Almond regaled Rowan with his dealings in the market, about how he had to haggle with the butchers over the quality of the meat while trying to explain the odd break in the creature's ribs that looked like a steel beam had crushed it. Rowan smiled at the effectiveness of his coils and how Almond spoke highly about them. Next Almond showed him the massive purse he had gotten from the kill the two had acquired, “We made a lot of coins today Rowan. This is the most I've ever brought back even after spending a little of it.” Rowan jingled the purse and smiled at Rowan's happiness over the contents of the bag; he himself had no real interest in the shiny pieces of metal, but he was glad his human was happy with their success. “So, what did you get Almond?” First, Almond showed Rowan four pairs of pants that were laced with Arachne silk so there would be less chance of tearing, a purchase Almond was particularly proud of.
“How about you model them for me Almond. I could give you a thorough report.” Almond blushed at the suggestive tone in Rowan's voice, while he liked the idea of “modeling” himself for Rowan he had something else to show him. “Now this I know you will like. Close your eyes now Rowan, and no peaking.” Smirking, Rowan obliged at the giddy tone of his lover as he walked back towards the stairs. A smell came to Rowan's nose; it was a delicious smell, one he remembered, but it was mingled with a myriad of other equally appetizing scents. “Alright, open up!” Opening his eyes Rowan saw that Almond had placed a variety of treats and confectioneries on the table. Chocolate covered pastries, crème-filled cakes, fresh-baked breads, and all other manner of goodies. “These are from my friend Antoine's bakery; when I told him I wanted a selection of yummy things for someone special to me that had not tried baked-goods before he insisted I load up. I hope you like them.”
Again Almond found himself in a tight, but loving embrace, “These all look amazing Almond! Thank you very much!” Almond blushed seeing the naga so happy, he loved it when Rowan smiled, and it made him smile seeing it. The two indulged in the decadent treats till their bellies could handle no more, “Oh that was delicious. Seriously point him and his son out to me so I don't eat them by accident. Antoine you said right?” Almond slapped his forehead, “Crap! I forgot to ask his son's name again. I always forget it since I've never actually met him. I'll remember next time.” Rowan smirked, “For shame Almond, forgetting like that. You'll have to be punished.” Almond trembled with excitement seeing that grin come to Rowan's face it always meant he was in for a wild time. But no wild time was to be had that night; both Almond and Rowan passed out almost as soon as they made it to the bed, snuggling together to try and shake away the tiredness that their muscles felt from the hunt gently snoring the night away.
Almond awoke to a sudden addition of pressure to his chest; it was Rowan, and he had gotten bigger! Rowan's frame seemed to grow right in front of him! Scrambling out from underneath his lover Almond patted his head in an attempt to wake him. “Rowan wake up! You have to get out now!” Rowan shifted his arms almost knocking Almond over onto the floor his voice groaning with sleepiness, “Ngh, come on Almond let me sleep. We'll have all of tomorrow to play.” “Not if you squish me and trap yourself in my home you won't! Come on wake up!”, Almond shouted lifting Rowan's eyelid open. Growling a little in frustration Rowan lifted himself up to address the annoyingly persistent human, but instead ended up clutching at his head as a sharp pain reverberated through his skull. Looking up Rowan saw that he had bumped his head against the ceiling and was steadily getting bigger.
Almond dashed for the window and flung it open shouting for Rowan, “Over here! Quick!” Rowan had to squeeze a little to get himself through the now narrow opening, but with Almond pushing at his rear and Rowan forcing himself back onto the ground the two just narrowly avoided an unpleasant outcome. Almond watched, amazed at how Rowan's body gradually returned to its natural size and stature. Looking his body over Rowan smiled, “I'm normal again!” Almond was happy that his lover had gotten back to his normal size, especially seeing how jubilant he was admiring his physique. But a part of him was sad that he would likely not get to hold him the same way as when he was more Almond's size; it was a fleeting sadness, as he could not help but join in the celebration. Coming down from their excitement Rowan came back to the window of his lover, “Guess things are back to normal eh Almond?”
Almond chuckled, “Yeah, I suppose they are. I'm glad you're back to normal Rowan, I know how much it bothered you being my size.” Rowan smiled softly at Almond, despite his outward appearance he could tell that Almond was a little sad. “Well, it wasn't all bad; we got to have some fun with each other in a different way, and I got to see a little more of your world. So don't act like I won't be around every day and night to check up on you and steal you away.” Almond smiled, “Yeah, I look forward to it. I am happy for you Rowan, I really am.” Rowan leaned in close to the window so that he could look his human lover in the eye, “Almond, about what we talked about yesterday, I want you to know that even if I don't say it out loud as often as I should I will always love you. You're my tiny and I'm your naga, and nothing can change that, heaven help the idiot that tries.” Almond leaned in against the giant cheek of his naga lover and gave it a big hug. Despite Almond not being able to wrap his arms around Rowan's body, Rowan could still feel the warmth the resonated from the human.
Rowan carefully lifted Almond from the window opening and out into the night air smiling down at the human in his hands. “I am a lucky naga.”, he thought hugging Almond to his chest. “Still want to sleep together tonight Rowan?”, Almond offered looking up to the grinning naga. Rowan nodded happily and allowed Almond to retrieve a blanket before returning him to his chest and coiling around himself for added warmth. Their relationship had grown much within those short couple of days; the bonds of trust and understanding deepening within both of their minds about the other, and the two were all the more excited for it as they snuggled against one another returning to their peaceful sleep.
