The Chance and Change Bureau

by Quiet94

Following the events of the corruption discovered at the Enhancements and Enchantments Bureau, other leaders scramble to address the revelation, calling a summit of all bureaus responsible for human existence.

The story didn’t feel finished the first time around, so I wanted to explore this more and explore some extra themes. If you’ll indulge me on this slightly longer story, there’ll be plenty of size difference again, with some macro elements this time around!

We follow the events of “The Enhancements and Enchantments Bureau.” This time, we’re following the story of one of the colleagues working at a bureau. I recommend reading my first story if you haven’t already, but this story can be enjoyed as a standalone tale—I think!

It was yet another first.

My mouth was dry as I took my seat in the intimidating conference hall. A summit between multiple bureaus had been called, the first of its kind. In typical fashion, it was a long time coming following the events at the Enhancements and Enchantments Bureau—bureaucracy quite literally got in the way of itself, and slowed things down to a crawl. After four long months, we’d finally been able to agree on a time, location, and attendees.

Extensive reviews, meetings, reports, meetings about meetings, endless paperwork, data analysis, the list goes on and on. All had taken precedence over the last couple of months to learn from what had happened and attempt to ensure no other bureaus had succumbed to similar levels of corruption.

The bureaus responsible for human reality and existence had seen many firsts over the days and weeks following what had been referred to by many as the Ruse Revelation—”RR” for short (we’re all fans of acronyms and alliteration around here).

To know that one Director could achieve such overwhelming control, power, and corruption was deeply terrifying for us all. Ruse had incrementally and imperceptibly warped what the EEB was supposed to achieve into something sinister, all for the purpose of gaining enough power to corrupt every bureau.

She was methodical, inconspicuous, and careful at first. It began with one human—rather than enhancing their life, through boredom or carelessness, or perhaps malice—she chose to alter the way the path ended, preventing the human from achieving what they should. That unused potential poured out—that chaotic energy, she found she could do anything she wanted with it, but it was finite, she always needed more.

When she gained more power by cutting down more human potential, that strange reality warping corruption, she used it on the rest of the EEB, warping reality and placing all colleagues on paths—something that was only ever intended for life outside of the bureaus.

One human became 10, 10 became 100. The more she took, the bolder she became, she had cut the potential of 34,598 humans overall over the course of 103 years. It was a heart-wrenching discovery, many colleagues requested a transfer to other bureaus once this number was common knowledge. They simply couldn’t face what they had unknowingly been part of.

We’re lucky that her greed became so great that she was reckless enough to be caught. If it weren’t for Scott, the first human to come off his path, and Michael, the colleague assigned to him, who’s to say where we’d all be now?

When Ruse was destroyed, for the first time in existence, a bureau was without a director. The summit had been called by other bureau leaders as a way to “Peer review the effectiveness of the EEB”. Frankly, this was a load of wanky bollocks—the real purpose was to assign blame, and then ultimately come to a decision on who would now lead the EEB, there were also rumours that some directors wanted to see it disbanded entirely.

Michael, who’d stepped up and taken responsibility for what happened and was now the unofficial leader of the EEB—even though this fact hadn’t been formally recognised by the other directors—took his seat at the board table with the other four directors.

The conference fell silent as he sat. Bravely, Michael attempted to introduce himself.

“Good day everyone, I was asked to—”

“Why should you be permitted to speak? Why should you even be seated here?! It’s preposterous!” an elderly figure interrupted. Its appearance was more of a spirit or ghost than a human. It glowed an eerie green and its wizened face was reminiscent of a melted candle, with countless deep wrinkles slightly obscuring its facial features. Its sunken eyes in particular could not be seen from this distance, all I could see were a set of small, golden, round spectacles. It was a very long and slender being—this was the director of the Demise and Design Bureau, which was essentially responsible for the life cycle of humans.

“Had you let him speak, you’d learn it was I who requested he be seated here, Bartholomew,” a second director interceded. This was Catherine, director of the Chance and Change Bureau. “Michael has proven himself to be a leader of what remains of the EEB, his cooperation with our bureau has been exceptional, he deserves to be here to drive the direction of these talks.”

It was nice to know at least one of the Directors sat at the table had Michael’s back.

I love Catherine, and I love what the Chance and Change Bureau is all about; I’d been a colleague at the CCB for as long as I could remember existing. Catherine was a tall woman with an hourglass figure, she was well put together, with a slender, attractive face and piercing green eyes. She often wore vibrant, thigh-length A-line dresses. Today’s choice was a deep orange which accentuated her fair features and long, flowing, copper-red hair. She was a stark contrast to the other directors, an orange star in a see of grey and black formal wear.

I’d worked really closely with Michael and Catherine for the past couple of months, as I was the colleague assigned to Dale when the events of RR took place. Dale was in dire need of the CCB.

I’d orchestrated his chance encounter with Scott way back, hoping it would encourage him to make changes in his life that would save him from himself. We’re a lot more hands off than the EEB, humans are never aware of our presence.

Obviously at the time I had no idea what would end up happening as a result, but it was honestly the best outcome I’ve ever seen—Dale came off his path and absolutely soared, something we’d never experienced in the history of our work with humans. It’d made us rethink how we do things at the CCB, we’re now want to be more like the EEB. This summit was really important to us so we could continue with our partnership.

The green, indignant apparition brought me back out of my thoughts.

“You may think that, but you have no authority to make that decision!” Bartholomew barked at Catherine.

“Nor do you have the authority to say he isn’t welcome here,” Catherine retorted. she was as cool as a cucumber, as always.

Another director spoke up: “Arguing about who should and shouldn’t be sat at this table isn’t gonna get us anywhere, is it? Honestly, I was already leaning towards declining my attendance at this summit, don’t make us regret coming.” This was Zachary. He gestured behind him, showing off his delegates he’d brought with him. He had a very no-nonsense and direct approach, something the bureaus desperately needed more of.

“These are some of my best, they could be off doing great work but they’re here, listening to you squabble. Just get on with it Bartholomew.” His words were a little sharp, but he was somehow completely charming.

Zachary was the Director of the Sensuality and Salacity Bureau, they—erm, well let’s just say they were a randy bunch, all about getting people horny so they’d have sex and make babies, basically. Every single one of them was electrifyingly hot. Any remaining moisture evaporated from my mouth when I looked at Zachary’s arms as he gestured, his bicep bulged beautifully as if to punctuate his points.

“Fine. Then onto the agenda,” Bartholomew replied. “We’re here to peer review the EEB and understand the events of RR, how this can be avoided so it doesn’t happen again, and how or if the EEB should continue to operate.”

It peered over the top of its glasses condescendingly. “We’ve all seen the reports, and there are damning trends in the data you should have noticed that would have prevented this from happening, Michael.”

“With all due respect Bartholomew, all the endless bureaucracy hasn’t brought us any closer to knowing if there’s corruption in the other bureaus here, can you honestly tell me you’re not on a path right now? How would you actually know? How would any of us know?” Michael replied, indignantly.

Zachary replied, his gruff voice stirred my dick from its slumber. “Ruse being caught would be a mighty fine wake-up call to anyone else who might be doing similar shady shit, they’d be covering all traces so there’s no way of knowing, I agree with the kid.” He was wearing just a blazer, no shirt underneath, so his heavy pecs and cobblestone abs were on full display for all to see. He leaned forward onto the desk, his pecs resting on the edge of the table. He leaned his head on his fist, his tantalising bicep taunting me with how large and bulbous it was. He caught me ogling him and winked, causing my cheeks to burn, and I looked down at the floor.

“Well, I for one can say wholeheartedly there is no corruption at the Demise and Design Bureau, we would have no way to do what Ruse achieved! Life and death is a sacred cycle, a perfect design, we couldn’t disrupt it without it being obvious!” Bartholomew retorted. Its voice wavered slightly as it spoke, hinting that it was nervous.

“Interesting. Death is obvious, is it? So was it not odd that 34,598 souls returned to you sooner than anticipated over the years?” Catherine cocked an eyebrow at Bartholomew.

“I-, w-ell. I-it. Franky, that’s a drop in the ocean...” Bartholomew raised its long droopy limb and appeared to scratch its scalp, pondering what had been asked.

“A drop in the ocean doesn’t sound very obvious to me, perhaps we shouldn’t be attempting to assign blame. We have more pressing issues, the EEB is incredibly understaffed. How are we going to fix this problem?” Catherine asked, looking around at the other directors. “Also, addressing the elephantine entity in the room, when are we going to appoint Michael as the new director?”

“Why should the EEB even continue? It’s rather antiquated, don’t you think? Hm,” the last director spoke up. Selena was the director of the Progress and Process Bureau. With a name like that, it’s probably pretty obvious these guys were the real stick in the mud even by bureau standards, but they had an important job—the overall advancement of the human race.

Selena was a short black woman, her large afro was tied up in a plain, beige bandana. Her large silver glasses were attached to a chrome chain which glistened in the cool light of the conference hall. She wore a plain, beige, corduroy pant suit over a white blouse.

“According to these studies we have carried out, the EEB has only been responsible for about 0.4% of human advancement in the past 10 years. Hm.” She had a curious vocal tic of some sort, letting out a short hum whenever she finished speaking. “All the other bureaus here have had significantly more impact, I fail to see why we should entertain the idea of the EEB continuing? Hm?” she continued.

“The EEB’s purpose is about improving lives, making people happier, and righting wrongs! How could that be something we wouldn’t want to continue?!” Michael snapped.

“Selena, Bartholomew, I have deep respect for the PPB and DDB, but surely you can see that all the bureaus, including the Enhancements and Enchantments Bureau, bring something to human existence. Selena—you like reports and data more than anyone, how could you judge our performance when most of it is tied to Ruse’s abhorrent abuse of power?! Don’t you think your reporting might be biased?” Michael asked.

“No. I don’t. At all. Hm,” Selena retorted.

“Oookaay, so can you tell me how the other bureaus would perform without the EEB? Oh, and while we’re at it since you tried to blame me for something I had no sight of, can you explain to me why you didn’t think 0.4% seems a little low and to perhaps investigate, maybe save us sooner?!” Michael asked, becoming more frustrated.

In the midst of all the drama, Catherine excused herself and turned around to look for me. The boardroom-style conference table in the centre of the room was surrounded by low walls, sort of like a courtroom. Behind the divide, there was extra seating for all the delegates supporting each of the directors. I was in the first row directly behind Catherine, she saw me and learned over, and motioned for me to lean over too.

“James, not that it’s a surprise, but I don’t think this is going anywhere fast. Why don’t you head back to the CCB? There’s a new applicant I want you to take on,” she said, adding, “Remember what we discussed. I want you to treat it like you would if you were part of the EEB. Maybe if you can succeed you can show these dusty old arseholes that there is merit in how we want to do things going forward,” she spoke softly and quietly.

“All right, Catherine, but won’t you need me here?” I asked.

“Yes, in theory. But c’mon, do you think you’re gonna get a word in edgeways during the first day? Hell even the first week?” She smiled at me and winked. “I’ll call on you when I need you, don’t worry!” She placed her hand on my shoulder and then leaned in for a hug.

Reassured I wouldn’t be needed for a while, I got up and made my way to a large window at the back of the room. I guessed it was time to meet my new applicant!

Back at the bureau, I sat down at my desk, the new applicant’s file had a post-it note from Catherine.

”I know this might look a bit familiar to Scott and RR, but try not to be too surprised by what we’re taking on with this! C.”

To say I was surprised by the applicant’s file would have been an understatement.

I’d been tasked with taking chances and making changes to an out-of-luck and out-of-shape man, to help him turn his life around and achieve his goals. And I had to do it in person. Like, in front of him, not in the windows or the mirrors. I would literally need to befriend this man and act as his guide in some way.

I could see a lot of potential. Whilst the guy was somewhat overweight and scruffy, he was handsome, and he was around the same age as my appearance, somewhere late 20s or early 30s. His name was Billy, which I thought was cute! There were also a couple of other stats too, which I’d guessed I’d need to know to help make the right changes?

Height; 5’4
Length: 5 inches
Girth: 4 inches
Shoe size: 6

Those were quite similar to myself; I was slightly taller at 5’6, though my penis was bigger than his. I was a bit confused about why these stats had been included, then I turned the page. What surprised me was that I was also asked to look at making changes to Billy’s height and dick size, there was no guidance on how, or how much. Apparently, he loathed how short he was and how middling his cock was, and the changes to his body would really turn his outlook on life around and he would take more chances as a result.

I sat back and let the details of the file sink in. How could the bureau that was all about making small inconceivable changes to surroundings or situations achieve all this?

I basically had to somehow make a giant hulking guy, but how would doing this show anything to the directors?

This was turning into a nightmare come true! I’d basically be just like Michael and grow my own stud? Zachary’s gorgeous body flashed through my mind, how was I going to keep this remotely professional in person? I couldn’t contain myself around big muscly men. Gah, I was so gonna fail Catherine and Michael...

I closed the file and put my head in my hands, I let out a long sigh. This was going to be really tough.

There was only one way I could realistically start—research and recon. I spent the rest of the day looking up everything we had on Billy, and everything I could think of that I might be able to change that would help.

I was lost in research when I looked over at the time, it was nearly midnight! Sometimes I felt it was odd for us to track time in the same way as humans do, but there was good reason. The best way to be close to humans is to replicate their routines and structure, it was also a good way to know when they were awake and when they went to sleep!

I approached the window and flashed home. Being so close to humans, we were all influenced by how they live, we all enjoyed doing and having similar things, there really was something comforting about having a home.

I tucked myself up in bed, and before I drifted off to sleep, I mapped out my path for the upcoming day, how I would track Billy to see what he got up to on an average day.

I was already awake and watching Billy by the time his alarm went off, he clumsily flailed his arm out to smack the alarm off and rotated over, falling right back asleep. I knew he needed to be up for work, but it seemed like he wasn’t ever going to get up.

After a few more snoozed alarms he eventually emerged from his pit. Got to his feet and inspected himself. I could see the disdain on his face. He grabbed his gut and lifted it up, before letting it sag and bounce back down.

He sighed, and made his way to the bathroom. Without being there physically, I could only peer into his life through mirrors, windows, and reflections. The bathroom mirror was very small, so I couldn’t really see much in there, it also soon fogged up, so it was kind of impossible to see anything.

Minutes later, he returned to the bedroom and threw on the first clothes he could see, giving them a quick sniff to check they didn’t stink too much. He then dowsed himself in body spray.

My first impressions were he was clearly quite depressed, he wasn’t looking after himself because he hated what he had. I felt sorry for him.

Seeing him more up close as he checked himself in the mirror before leaving, I couldn’t help but admire his face, he was full of potential and underneath the self-loathing and scruffiness, he was very handsome; he had high cheekbones, a good head of hair, a thick beard—his hair just needed some TLC!

I watched him for the rest of the day, and by the end of it, I was pretty sure what I was going to do, I was going to be his chance encounter, I would make changes and hopefully, they would turn things around enough for him. He might even just pop off the tracks of his path and surprise everyone!

It was now or never. He was sat alone in a McDonald’s late at night, of course eating the wrong things. I could walk right in there, introduce myself, and get this thing going.

...Just one problem, how on earth do you speak to a human? What do I even say first? How do I get him to trust me and believe what I’m going to tell him?

I wasn’t going to edit his thoughts or feelings, that was the old way, I refused to be part of it. I could easily get too in my own head, I needed to act, the future of our bureaus depended on it.

I stopped watching from the window by where he was sat, and moved to a mirror in the bathroom. I pressed myself against the glass and felt myself shift through a brilliant golden light. When I opened my eyes, I was standing in the bathroom, staring at my own reflection.

It was an odd moment. I realised I hadn’t seen myself in a reflection for probably a thousand years. I sort of knew what I looked like, but there was never any need to check since nothing ever changed.

I was...pretty cute, actually! I had big, wide, expressive eyes, they were a deep blue and sparkled like sapphires. I had high cheekbones, a great smile, short and curly dark hair and a thin but toned body. Hopefully my cheery demeanour and friendly face would put Billy at ease.

I took a deep breath, and walked out the bathroom door.

He had already left his seat...damn it! I could see him exiting the building.

Thinking quickly, I rushed over to where he was sat. Maybe if he’d left something behind that I could chase after him with to return? Nope. Nothing.

Well, I was gonna do a lot more changes over the next few days, what if by chance, his phone just happened to be under this seat, I snapped my fingers as I moved the seat over.

I smirked to myself as I lent over to pick up his phone.

I left and ran after Billy.

“Er...h...hey! Uhm excuse me? Sir?” I waved Billy down.

He stopped and turned to look at me.

“I think you might have dropped this?” I held up his phone.

Billy shifted through his pockets, realising this was indeed his. “Oh erm, thank you! I honestly thought I’d put that in my pocket,” he replied.

“No worries, erm...” I could feel how awkward I was being, the EEB guys made this look so easy.

“Could I have...that back?” He let out a soft laugh and pointed at my hand holding up his phone.

“Oh, duh, of course! Here you go!” I replied cheerfully and walked over, handing him his phone. As I briefly touched his hand, I felt his self-loathing, the depression, the sadness filling the void. I decided to just go all in.

“Billy, what are you doing all alone in a place like this? You have so much potential, I’ve seen what you are and what you could be, you just need a bit of a nudge in the right direction!” I blurted out.

“How do you...know my name?” He cocked an eyebrow. “Aaand what do you mean by that, have you been watching me or something??” he questioned.

Oh dear, not a good start. “S-sorry. Let me start over, this is new to me. I’ll just say it how it is, because I’m not sure you’re going to believe me but I promise you, I can prove everything I’m about to tell you.” He began to look concerned, and I could hear him thinking that I was just another ‘late night weirdo’.

“Yep, I’m definitely a late-night weirdo. Billy, my name is James, I work at the Chance and Change Bureau. You’re our new candidate, and I’m here to change your life.”

Things weren’t off to a great start, but I could tell Billy was intrigued, even if I did seem slightly deranged.

“Listen, man, if you need help I can get you somewhere safe. Have you taken anything?” he asked, it was quite sweet to see him caring for what he assumed was some drugged-up lunatic.

“No. No Billy, it’s not what you think. Like I said I work for the Chance and Change Bureau. We specialise in making changes to human lives in the hopes it will keep you on the expected path. You’re our first candidate where we want to try something new. I know a lot about you Billy—I know you aren’t happy, I know you hate how you look, you’ve tried stuff in the past to turn things around but you’ve just never had much luck, have you?” I rambled, but I was gaining confidence. I thought I could convince him I was there to help.

“Uhmmm, I’ve never heard of...this bureau thing. What do you mean you know all about me? This is really weird, I think you should leave me alone...” Billy started to take a couple of steps back. Right, now or never.

“Billy, I know this is impossible to believe, I’m asking a lot of you, I’d react the same way if things were the other way around. I know you, Billy. You were bullied for being short and overweight, you’re 31 years old and have never been in a serious relationship, you cry yourself to sleep most nights and hate that you continually let yourself go and recently, you’ve been having some quite dark thoughts that I promise you, aren’t really what you want. I can help you, I can make changes that will let you get stronger, bigger, and more in control of your own life. You just need to trust me a little!” I pleaded with him. “Just trust me, Billy, let me help you and show you what the CCB is all about!”

Billy stopped, staring at me. “Is there any chance this guy isn’t completely insane? How does he know all this stuff about me...how...” he thought to himself.

I hoped reading his thoughts wouldn’t cross the line, but I needed to convince him I was telling the truth, I told him word for word what he just thought to himself and he gasped.

“You...you are telling the truth, aren’t you?” Billy said, startled.

“Yes Billy, I am,” I replied.

“What, h-how would you even fix me, I don’t even know where to start, how would you?” he asked.

“Well, for starters, we could make you taller. I know your height is something you don’t like, and yeah we could go down the whole body positivity route and that would be great too, but let’s be bold, you can be taller, it’s possible for us.” I was believing my own hype, but honestly, I was winging it now, I wasn’t exactly sure yet how I would make him taller and make it meaningful, there were a lot of options, I just needed to decide what would be right for Billy.

“You know what you’re saying sounds impossible, right?” he asked, cynicism setting in.

“Yeah, I do, look, I’m not just gonna wave a magic wand for you, I think it’s important for you that you do the work yourself, we will just make changes so that you’ll actually see results, we’ve seen all the times you’ve tried, you’ve not got the best genetics unfortunately, and your mental health on top…It’s no wonder you’re where you’re at.”

Billy fell silent once again.

“Tell you what,” I said. “If you say yes to me right now and take a chance on me, I’ll snap my fingers and you’ll wake up tomorrow and everything will change. If you put in the work to improve yourself, we’ll make it so your efforts are rewarded the following morning. Eat well—you’ll lose weight, go to the gym—you’ll put on muscle. Focus on improving your mental health—I’ll make you taller. All you need to do is say yes!” I guess that’s how I would make him taller, I’d use it as a reward for him getting a healthy mind.

I could hear Billy thinking to himself, “I guess I could? This could all be bullshit but what harm could there be in just saying yes, take a chance, maybe call his bluff, let him snap his fingers and do a rain dance or something, then go home and get to bed. Yeah...no harm, let’s just see what he says.”

Aloud, he added, “All right, James or whoever, yes, go for it.” He crossed his arms, smirking, despite my convincing him, he was still expecting nothing to happen.

“I’d be delighted, Billy!” I said, suddenly filled with cheer. For the first time in a couple of days. It felt good and exciting.

I snapped my fingers and got to work. Billy’s face was a treat as the light began to envelop him.

He awoke the following morning, surprisingly fresh. I’d decided to make the first night a bit of a freebie, he hadn’t done anything to earn it other than trust me enough to say yes, but I felt it would be a good way to get the ball rolling. He was checking himself out in the mirror, inspecting the changes, I’d let him lose a good 15 pounds or so, I think? I wasn’t exact yet, but I hoped in time I’d get better, I also made him the same height as me, I could use myself as a frame of reference, so that was easy enough.

His smile beamed, it was the first time I’d seen him fully smile, it was a gorgeous smile, he had perfect teeth!

After he got himself dressed, I flashed through the window in his kitchen. He walked out and was slightly startled by my presence.

“Morning Billy!” I smiled and winked at him.

“You! You were telling the truth! Dude what the fuck, this is crazy!?” he exclaimed.

“I know! It’s super crazy! I’ve not done this stuff before. How do you feel?” I smiled warmly at him. “This first morning’s free, but from now on you’ll need to hold up your end of the bargain. I’ve taken the liberty of laying out brochures for gyms, therapists, and nutritionists for you to decide on, you can meet with everyone today and get started right away.”

“W..wow, you’re really organised. T-thank you Billy, I’ve never had anyone do something like this for me.” He was emotional, surprisingly, I saw his body visibly relax, he began to tear up. We stood there for a few moments in the uneasy, emotional silence.

“All right, all right, to be fair, no one you’ve met before could actually do what I have done for you!” I laughed, trying to cheer him up.

“No, no that’s not really what I mean, yeah the physical stuff you’ve done to my body is amazing but like, I mean the brochures and stuff? No one’s really ever cared about me, I know you know about my past, I’m a sad orphan and whatever and it’s cool but yeah, I just don’t really have many people in my life and most of it is all surface stuff, y’know?” He sniffled and wiped his eyes dry.

I was quite taken back by this, it hadn’t really occurred to me that he would be so unfamiliar with this sort of support. Being more like the EEB was so much more challenging on so many levels.

“I’m sorry Billy, like you, I’m not really used to all this, but I guess that’s maybe a good thing? It’s like, we can figure this out together, does that sound good?” I asked.

He pondered for a moment.

“Yeah...yeah that sounds really nice,” he replied.

“Aww, that’s great, don’t worry, we’ll figure this all out together then!” I flashed him my best, most cheerful smile possible. It was maybe a bit corny, but it did the trick, he let out a little chuckle.

“So, okay, anyway! The way this works is I’ll be here every morning to check in on you and see if you want to continue what we’re doing, you can ask me anything you want and talk about anything, and then you just need to let me know if you want to continue with this. Then just live your life and, and well, yeah! Do you want to continue?” I asked cheerily.

“We only just got started so yeah of course!” he replied, more enthusiastically than I had seen him so far.

“Brilliant, okay, well I guess I’ll leave you to it!” Michael’s face flashed through my mind, and I knew exactly what to say next.

“Cherish your day, and I’ll see you tomorrow!” I beamed, before passing back through his kitchen window.

I watched Billy like a hawk for the rest of the day. I couldn’t help it, I was obsessed to see if this was going to stick, would making these changes for himself really work? Would it improve him to the point of him completely changing his path or coming off it entirely?

To my surprise and delight, Billy acted like a man possessed, by lunch time, he’d already decided on all the changes he would make. By 3pm, he’d signed up to his local gym, met with a nutritionist, and went shopping for the food they recommended. By 6pm, he was sat in front of a therapist, going through some introductory stuff. By 8pm, he was home, tucking into a healthy meal he had prepared for himself.

I was extremely proud of him. I wondered about what to reward him for the coming morning, he hadn’t scratched the surface with the therapist yet, nor had he done a workout, but he’d been shown the ropes. The main thing was he’d eaten well all day, there wasn’t a McDonalds in sight.

I decided over the next few days I’d mainly focus on his weight, everything else would follow. I just hoped he wasn’t expecting too much too soon.

It had been a month since I’d taken chances on Billy and made changes to his life.

While I’d kept my end of the bargain, I was also cautious, I didn’t want Billy to change overnight and become something he wasn’t, humans can be quite greedy and power hungry, I wasn’t fully convinced that wouldn’t happen to Billy.

My concerns were ill-founded though, not once did he greet me in the morning with any kind of frustration or impatience, he was grateful for any new changes, and even on the days we’re there wasn’t much change, he was still happy and content.

Billy went from strength to strength, he met with his therapist twice a week, who’d encouraged him to join a gay social group at the local bar. He’d also stuck to the gym, it was a slow start, years of bad habits made things difficult for him. He’d go maybe once or twice for the first two weeks, waddling around like an old man the days that followed. He’d picked up the pace in the last week though, upping his gym sessions to three times a week.

He’d tell me all about how his body ached, but he enjoyed what he was doing. He also stuck to his nutritionist’s plan, and I’d kept up with helping him lose the weight, all in all, he’d lost 58 pounds and was a healthy weight now. To me, he seemed like the right sized canvas to really get to work.

As expected, Billy became more attractive as the weeks went by, his face was stunning—he could be a model! He’d also started looking after his appearance, with regular trips to a barber to keep everything neat and tidy. I couldn’t deny I found him really attractive, I wanted to run my hands through his hair and stubble. But I knew I had a job to do, I couldn’t go falling for this guy, no matter how I felt about him.

Before greeting him this morning, I took a good look at his stats.

My heart swelled with pride, in addition to his physical stats, his mood and emotional intelligence had skyrocketed and he was already completely changing the tregectory of his life. I think it would be safe to start changing more things now, this had been going so well, and I trusted him that more would be better.

I flashed through his window, to my surprise, he was already in the kitchen waiting to greet me.

“James! Good morning!” He rushed over and pulled me in for a lengthy hug. I was a little taken back, he’d been getting more and more enthusiastic and positive each morning, but this was a step up from that.

“I know I’ve not really talked to you about my therapy, to be honest I figured you’d just know all about it anyways, but well, last night was really big and you were the first person I wanted to talk to about it!” he said as he pulled away from me.

“Actually, out of respect, I haven’t pried. I think whatever you’re talking to your therapist about is just between the two of you, but if you do want to talk about anything I’m here.” I smiled at him warmly.

“Oh, that’s...actually really considerate, thank you! Well basically, I just think I had a bit of a breakthrough last night, you know how I lost my parents in that car crash when I was a kid, I was in the back seat and I’d asked my dad a silly question which made him laugh, I always thought I’d distracted him and that’s what caused the accident. I guess I always blamed myself, but my therapist helped me see that it’s not really fair to blame myself, I was only 5 and I couldn’t have distracted him that much, he was a good driver after all. Details of the crash are blurry, but I suppose looking back, it was just a freak accident. Anyway, sorry for babbling on, it’s just made me feel a lot lighter!” He awkwardly fiddled with his hair and blushed slightly.

I couldn’t put my finger on how I felt about him confiding in me like this, but it felt nice, and very rewarding.

“We’ve never really spoken about your parents or the crash, again I just didn’t want to go on about stuff I had no right to bring up, and I mean, I’m no therapist! But Billy, it’s so nice that you feel so relieved, I’m kinda honoured that you’ve told me about this,” I replied, I wanted to keep it professional, but realistically all I wanted to really do was pull him back in for another long hug and jump up and down with him in joy.

“Thank you James, I’m really, really happy with how things have been going. And look!” He patted his tummy.

“I’ve not been this fit since....well ever! I can’t believe the progress I’ve made! But neither can anybody else, I just wondered, how do I explain this to people? I dunno what I should say, maybe a strong reaction to Ozempic or something?” He looked at me puzzled with a hint of concern.

I kicked myself internally, how could I forget such an important detail, last thing I needed was to draw loads of attention to Billy, it could get him into some serious trouble. Honesty was the best policy, I didn’t want to lie to him.

“Shit. Billy I am so sorry, I didn’t even think about this! Can you deal with it for one more day? I’ll get everything sorted by tomorrow but I need you to be asleep for me to make the necessary changes.” I was furious at myself, and I think Billy saw it.

“Oh, all right, James it’s okay, I know this is all new to you too, don’t worry it’s cool I just wasn’t sure what I would do, people had been asking me about my weight and I brushed it off but the last couple of days people have been really sceptical,” he laughed.

“It’s seriously okay, I can deal with it for one more day! Don’t worry about it at all, it’s all good.” He smiled at me.

“A-all right, Billy, thank you for your understanding.” I smiled back.

“Do you want to keep things going?” I asked.

“Yeah absolutely! I’ll cherish my day,” he said, winking at me.

Cheeky bugger. “That’s my line! And I stole it from somebody else!” I laughed back.

I left him to get on with his day. It was a weekend, so he spent some time with his new friends from the gay social group. He then made his way to the gym. Up to now, his gym sessions had been fairly light, he’d gotten a few sessions with a PT and this was his last one. They spent longer than usual talking by the water cooler, so I decided to check things out. I peered through the reflective surface of the water.

“Matt, I was wondering, since today is the last session, could we really like, fully go for it? I really want to put what I’ve learned to the test and just absolutely go for it.” Billy looked up at Matt, with a fiery determination.

“Aww mate, I was hoping I’d see this from you, yeah definitely, get ready to be in sooo much pain!” He laughed and slapped Billy’s back. Billy coughed on his sip of water, and laughed back.

Hmm, okay, it seemed like Billy was really upping the ante, I had to be ready to do the same, his first real taste of muscle and height was coming, was he ready for it? Was I? I was pretty sure I could keep things professional, I had up until now, but seeing Billy with some added mass would be the real test for me.

I left them to it and made my preparations, I was a bit worried about overdoing it, and hoped I’d landed on a good balance, but just as a one-off. I also wanted to treat Billy a little, since he’d been doing so well. I figured a bit more of a boost for one day wouldn’t hurt.

As Billy sluggishly and painstakingly made his way to bed, I couldn’t help but laugh. His PT really had done a number on him. He quickly passed out, and I got to work with more changes that would greet us both in the morning.

I’d woken up quite a bit earlier than normal, I was nervous, filled with anticipation on what would happen to Billy. No one had ever made such strong changes at the Chance and Change Bureau before, what if I’d created some 70-foot muscle blimp?!

I paced up and down the length of Billy’s kitchen, I’d already been here for an hour, I had to force myself not to barge into his room and make sure he was okay, he deserved his privacy, especially if I’d fucked things up. I suppose I could always re-do things, but it just felt too close to the shit that went down at RR, I wanted no part in any of that.

For an eternal being, the last few minutes before hearing movement were excruciating.

“Holy shit!” I heard Billy shout, his voice notably deeper than he or I were used to. He bounded out of the bedroom and flew into the kitchen, completely naked.

I was not prepared for the sight.

Billy was huge in comparison to the man who had goneto bed the night before.

Healthy, toned muscles bulged and heaved with Billy’s heavy, startled breathing. He was much taller than the night before, and he was pumped and red all over, I’m guessing it was down to shock.

We both stared at each other, unblinking. I wasn’t sure what to say, but thankfully Billy spoke up first.

“Well...this is awkward, I’m... I’m not wearing any clothes. Oh. Oh shit. Shit I’m sorry I was just so shocked!” Billy covered his penis and looked at the floor in embarrassment. I had enjoyed the show, even if it was a little alarming, I didn’t want Billy to be uncomfortable, so I snapped my fingers, silk enveloped his larger frame.

“Oh, thanks... James, what the fuck?” He looked back up again, and started to chuckle.

“Sooooo, I may have... overdone it... slightly?” I laughed back.

Once the surprise of Billy’s new bigger body settled, we agreed to take some measurements together.

Height: 5’8 → 6’0
Weight: 160lbs → 180lbs
Arms: 13.5 inches → 16.5 inches
Chest: 40 inches → 42 inches
Waist: 35 inches → 35.5 inches
Quads: 23 inches → 26 inches
Shoe size: 6 → 9

Billy took the tape measure from me and turned away, he swung around to grab the notepad from me and scribbled down the last couple of readings.

Length: 5 inches → 7 inches
Girth: 4 inches → 5.5 inches

He turned back around, blushing. He sheepishly handed back the notepad. I quickly saw the measurements and tried not to react, he was clearly a little uncomfortable.

“Billy, if this is too much we can undo it. I wanted to give you a bit of a boost after yesterday, you did a lot and I just felt it was right you be rewarded for it. But, if I went too far I’ll—” Billy waved me down and shook his head.

“It’s amazing. I’m amazed. I literally can’t believe it but I’m also so, so happy. Like this is the body I always dreamed of, sure I didn’t think I’d end up with it so quickly! But damn, I’m over the moon!” He beamed.

“At least you sorted out what other people could see, that was really good timing, it would have been impossible to explain jumping up 4 inches in height and gaining so much muscle overnight!” he guffawed. I couldn’t help but laugh back.

He was right, it provided comfort. Clearly he wasn’t upset this had happened, so I had no reason to be either.

“Just, can you do me a favour though?” he asked.

“Sure, anything you need,” I replied.

“Can you like, dial it waaaay down? I want to get used to this and I don’t wanna get carried away either. I must be a lot stronger than last night, I don’t wanna hurt anyone, or myself. I also just feel a bit weird, like I’m looking through a camera that’s placed on top of my head, if that makes sense. Is that okay? If we slow it down?” He looked at me, biting his lip, I think he was worried I’d be offended.

I was actually so relieved he was asking this, he could have demanded more, become greedy, but the opposite was true. I was really pleased with his response to all this.

“Well, in all honesty, Billy, it was gonna dial back down after today. Like I said, I just wanted to give you a boost. Not this much but still, it’s all worked out. But yes, we will slow things down.” I smiled back at him.

“Oh, good sorry, I thought you’d be upset with me,” he laughed heartily.

“Nah I could never! Now go and get a shower and get to work. I dunno what your PT did last night but you stink!” I laughed back, mocking him and stiffly walked towards the window in mock pain.

“You bitch! Don’t you have something you need to ask me, and isn’t there some cherishing you want me to do?” he retorted.

“Ow, ow just give me a minute, oof. Gosh, owwww the paaaain!” I said as I slowly, painstakingly turned back around to face him. He was belly-laughing at the display.

“Well? Do you want to continue or what?” I asked.

“Of course, have a great day, James!” he said once he’d calmed his laughter.

I turned back to the window and waved back. “Cherish your day!” I shouted as I flashed through the window.

I watched him get ready for his day to make sure he was okay and I hadn’t messed up and not increased the amount of blood in his body enough or something. He didn’t seem to be light headed or anything. I did try not to look, but I couldn’t help but get hypnotised by his body. He looked amazing with some muscle packed onto his frame, he had a powerful swimmer’s build.

He spent some time in front of the mirror in the bedroom, slowly caressing every muscle group he could touch and marvelling at his newfound size and strength. He kneaded his chest and flicked his nipples, causing his dick to lurch up. I felt like time had stood still, as much as I wanted to press my body against the glass and imagine his cum was splashing on me. I knew it would do nothing to help with my little crush on Billy, so I ripped myself away from the view and went to my happy place. By the time I checked back on him, he was rummaging through the wardrobe on the opposite side of the room. There was a sizable load slowly dripping down the mirror. Fuck me.

He retrieved some clothes from his wardrobe, and put his hand to his forehead, grimacing. I’d forgotten to tell him his clothes would keep up with him. It was actually quite funny watching him go through the motions before realising his clothes fit him perfectly. He laughed to himself and finished getting ready. He was fine, I could leave him to it. Perhaps it was a good time to check in with Catherine.

Back at the bureau, I held up a handheld mirror—I suppose these were similar to human phones making video calls. Catherine’s face blurred into view.

“Hey Catherine, how is the summit?” I asked.

“Hmm. Well, it shouldn’t be called a summit for one, that implies success and progress. People celebrate getting to the top of a mountain, there is nothing to celebrate here! Selena and Bartholomew have continued to be insufferable, they clearly relish in this sort of thing.” She rolled her eyes and sighed.

“How about you? How’s the new candidate getting on? Billy, was it?” She looked interested to see what I had to say.

“Uhhh, well you know I’ve struggled to get the balance right. It’s not easy to follow in EEB’s footsteps, but I’m trying my best. I may have overdone it today though, Billy’s huge. Well, huge-er. Much bigger than he was but still well within normal human sizing,” I replied, biting my lip and hoping she wouldn’t be cross.

“Oh no that’s brilliant, I think the key with his human is for him to become larger than life in more ways than one.” She smiled back. Phew! Although, this did raise more questions for me.

“Okay, but I still don’t really get how this is going to get him to come off his path. Right now, he’s approaching the upper limits of what his path projected, but I don’t see why he would deviate or come off the path. It’s not like the EEB where they place people on an entirely new path. We’re just modifying the existing one, how is what I’m doing going to help?” I probably let out more worry than I’d intended. But as always, Catherine was calm.

“I...can’t tell you everything James. You’re on his path now too. If I tell you, the outcome won’t be the same. Just trust me, it’s going to work!” She gave her best, reassuring smile, but I was panicked by what she’d so casually shared.

“Ca...Catherine, have you put me on a path??!” I exclaimed.

“No, nothing like RR, I promise, you’ve just got a part to play on someone else’s path. You’re his chance encounter now, remember? But you’re still your own person, there’s nothing shady going on I assure you. You know me, I wouldn’t lie to you like that,” she replied, still completely calm. I envied her ability to always stay cool no matter what. It was brilliant, and slightly irritating.

“Hmm, all right, I do trust you Catherine...I take it you don’t need me yet? Did you know it’s already been a month in human time?” I asked.

“Bloody hell. No. Thanks for that. Christ, this is never going to ennnnd!” she laughed.

“Anyway, I better get back, that vein in Michael’s forehead is bulging up again, I don’t want his head to explode!” she added.

“All right, take care!” I laughed back. She waved goodbye and flashed, the mirror fell silent once more.

It was odd to think I was part of a human’s path. I was the first ever CCB colleague to play the part of a chance encounter. What would I influence next? I hoped I wouldn’t get in Billy’s way. He was making such good progress.

I wanted to keep focused on the task at hand. This was about proving the bureau’s worth. But already, I could tell my heart wasn’t in it. I didn’t really care about all that, I just wanted Billy to succeed. I wanted to see how his life would play out with my help. I hoped it wouldn’t go against Catherine and Michael’s plans, but I decided I would do what’s best for Billy, not the bureau’s agenda.

Another month flew by. Me and Billy got closer and closer, our time together each morning becoming longer and longer, to the point where I was slowing time to avoid him being late for work. I wasn’t sure if he was oblivious, or had noticed and said nothing about it.

He’d begun opening up to me about a whole array of topics, from his early childhood, his brutish foster family, his inability to find anything meaningful with another man. His favourite films, music, food, colours, clothes... Humans really were fascinating. I found myself taking home some of his suggestions and watching the films he suggested. The bureaus did have access to all human-made material, but we rarely looked over it. The films he suggested were pretty good. He was adamant I watch The Devil Wears Prada.

The morning after, I greeted him coldly and looked over some big glasses I found. I kept calling him Emily and shushing him anytime he spoke by saying “that’s all”. His hearty laughter filled me with joy.

I in turn told him about facets of my existence. He seemed genuinely interested in learning more about me. It was comforting.

I couldn’t really deny it. I was falling for this man, but I was pretty sure the feelings weren’t reciprocated. Billy had been talking a lot about his new social group. There was someone there he’d had his eye on for a while now, but he was still too shy to make a move.

He told me all about this man, Jack, a youngish twink who’d joined the group around the same time he did. Billy mentioned he found the guy cute, and I would contort my face into something resembling happiness that he had finally found someone.

And it wasn’t me... Great. Love that for me. Anyway!

Not so slowly but surely, Billy’s mass increased. His muscles were really something to behold now. While I vowed not to use any abilities that affected him outside of the ones we’d agreed on that made changes to his body, I did use one on me that would shroud my view of his body. It was the only way I could think not to turn into a feral animal around him. I spent many nights biting into my pillow and jacking off furiously to thoughts of how amazing his body had become. His pecs had filled out beautifully, becoming impressive walls of impenetrable meat. They were covered in bushy, masculine body hair which drove me even wilder.

Most of his body was covered in similar amounts fur. He’d emerge each morning shirtless, with just some lounge pants, one morning, it was just his boxers. I had to start covering him in silk loungewear after that, because I was pretty sure if I didn’t my dick would explode.

Before the shrouding began, I’d find my head mimicking the movements of his biceps as he spoke and gesticulated. They were more enormous every morning, they would dance and bulge with every movement. He once flexed his arms for me when he was talking about one of his gym sessions and how pumped he still felt. I must have blacked out for a few seconds because by the time I came back, he’d changed the subject to something else.

One morning, he bent down to get something from a cupboard and I could have sworn my whole self was being pulled into his massive, globular ass, like it had its own gravitational pull.

So, yes, the shrouding was absolutely required. Think of it like pixelating out his body in my vision. He didn’t become a floating head or anything, I just found I couldn’t focus on his body anymore, unless I really, really wanted to—which I didn’t. I think. Well, it was better this way.

Once the shrouding took effect, I was much clearer and present around him. We had an absolute blast every morning, I found it became my favourite time of day. I’d wake up excited to get to Billy’s kitchen; some mornings, I’d even make him breakfast—just because I’d get there too early and would get bored waiting.

Things were going great. His projections were getting better and better every single day, and he was headstrong in continuing each day too. He seemed really happy with how things were going… until one morning. I couldn’t put my finger on when or why, but things started to shift, as though something had upset the balance.

Billy began to act differently around me. It was like there was something he wanted to say, but he’d stopped short of saying it. He’d still banter and tell me all about his day, but it was like an awkward conversation that needed to happen was hanging in the air, waiting to come out.

I’d stopped myself using any abilities that would allow me to read his thoughts or measure his feelings. It made our relationship feel stronger and more genuine, I’d told him as much pretty early on in the month, so he knew his thoughts were private. Even though I knew something was up, I wasn’t going to press him, I knew he would bring it up eventually. I figured it was about Jack, that he’d finally plucked up the courage to make a move, or wanted to ask advice about it. I even thought it could be an awkward conversation about sex and protection or something.

Lost in my own thoughts about what the issue could potentially be, I glanced over at the calendar hung on the wall. Today marked two whole months since Billy said yes to receiving help from the CCB. Billy broke me out of my stupor with an oddly cold greeting.

“Morning James,” he greeted me as he walked into the kitchen, he didn’t look at me. This was the coldest he had been, even when we originally met and he thought I was just some random weirdo, he’d never been like this with me before. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t hurt slightly. I guess today was the day he’d finally let me in and tell me what’s going on?

“Oh, er morning! How are—” I was cut off when Billy looked at me, he was serious, emotional.

“I need to talk to you. I’ve needed to bring this up for a few days but I didn’t know how. I really love spending time with you and I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but, I just gotta say it—I thought we’d agreed that you’d dial things down?!” He gestured to himself, which forced me to review his body. The pixelated shroud dissipated, and his body came back into focus for the first time in a couple of weeks. Looking at his body, I could see why he was upset and thought I might have done something extra.

He was significantly bigger than when I last laid eyes on his body. I didn’t think he was too much taller, but he was incredibly wide now, packed full of muscle, my dick immediately misbehaved, quickly stiffening and leaking pre.

I took a moment to reflect, quell my inner horniness, and think on what he’d said, after a few seconds, looked at him, quizzically.

“Billy... I’m not really sure what you mean? These are the base parameters we’d set, you were happy with them. You’ve seemed happy with them all month. Is this why you’ve been a bit distant the last couple of days? You know I refuse to read your thoughts, I didn’t want to pry,” I remarked, genuinely confused that he seemed to be disappointed.

“James c’mon, look at me, I’m huge, I’ve been getting bigger and bigger which was awesome at first but the last couple of weeks? You never look at me anymore where at first, it’s like you inspected my body all the time, I assumed to make sure everything was normal, but then you stopped and now it just feels like it’s increasing more and more every day. Like I know I’ve been doing well but I didn’t ask for another boost like...like all this!” He gestured at himself again. I knew right away that this was false, I began to suspect he hadn’t realised how much work he’d put in to achieve all this.

“All right. But this is what these mornings are for, we can review this sort of stuff. You don’t need to keep these worries to yourself, if it’s because you didn’t want to hurt my feelings, I’m sorry, that’s not how our relationship concerning CCB should be. When was the last time you measured yourself Billy?” I asked, clinically. If Billy was upset, I would do my utmost to be professional.

“I. Uh, I haven’t? The last time was when we did it together a few weeks ago,” he replied, his turmoil deflating slightly.

“Okay, well, before we go any further, why don’t we see where you’re up to, and then we can discuss next steps?” I gestured for him to join me, then snapped my fingers and the trusty tape measure, scales, and notepad appeared.

We got to work, my mouth was dry, I did everything I could think of to not react to what I was doing. Babbling brooks, woodlands, grassy meadows, happy place happy place happy place. My hands glided over the various hairy body parts, he was just in boxers to make sure we got all the right readings. Rainbows atop waterfalls. Moonlit waves, the sand between my toes. Be calm...but maybe stop thinking about water, it was making me need to pee...

After a few more excruciating moments with my hands on his sizzlingly hot body, melting away any attempts to distract myself, I got the final readings.

Height: 6’0 → 6’6
Weight: 180lbs → 232lbs
Arms: 16.5 inches → 21 inches
Chest: 38 inches → 51 inches
Waist: 30.5 inches → 32 inches
Quads: 26 inches → 31 inches
Shoe size: 9 → 14

I fought hard not to jump onto him once I’d finished writing, I could hear my heart beating, feel it in my mouth.

Once again, Billy took the tape and pad to do his not-so-secret measurements.

Length: 7 inches → 9 inches
Girth: 5.5 inches → 7 inches

He stared at the page for a couple of minutes, which gave time for me to calm myself down. Trickling river, oak trees, leaves dancing in the wind. Be calm, be calm, be, calm.

He turned around, sadness in his eyes.

“See? I think you boosted me James...” he said, solemnly.

He hadn’t realised it yet, but this was all him. He’d worked so incredibly hard on all aspects of himself, he’d become addicted to the gym—he was there near enough every day. He ate well, really well, he ate massive quantities of great, healthy meals. He’d reduced his therapy down to once a week, because he’d gotten so confident with who he was as a person and worked through all his issues. He’d become an incredibly healthy and happy individual, inside and out.

“Billy...don’t you see?” I looked up into his eyes, placing my hands on his and the notepad.

“This is the result of all your hard work. I told you this is what you’d achieve if you worked hard on yourself, look at everything you’ve been doing for the last 2 months? It’s incredible! Yes, you’ve had help from the CCB, but you’ve gone way above and beyond what anyone expected of you!” I exclaimed.

Which was completely true. Billy was now at the far edge of his projections, he’d probably be off his path within days now. I hadn’t thought for a moment he’d get this big, especially not this quickly, but here we were.

“But...b..buh—” He looked at me and I could see what I’d said sank in.

“You’ve really not given yourself any credit?” I asked, smiling.

“I just thought it was...all the CCB stuff...” His brow furrowed and he looked back down at the pad.

“Remember, we can stop whenever you want Billy, if you’ve had enough, that’s okay, it can stop today.” I was saddened at the thought. I was so used to spending time with him at this point that the thought of stopping was gut-wrenching. Not to mention, he wasn’t off his path yet, it would ruin the bureau’s future—though, I found myself not caring. As always, I would do right by Billy.

“I don’t...” Billy struggled with his words.

“Billy it’s okay...” I held onto his hands more firmly.

“I... don’t... want you to go!” He pulled me into a kiss. Lightning shot through me, as my brain short-circuited.

We made out for what felt like hours, he lifted me onto the kitchen counter, all while keeping an air-tight lock on our mouths.

My hands explored everything they could reach on his body, his hairy physique was incredible. I erratically grabbed anything I could. Whenever my hands settled, it was like they became jealous of each other and wanted to explore more and find even greater places to feel.

I felt his prodigious dick press against me below, he was seemingly even more hot and bothered than I was.

As earth-shatteringly good as this all felt, I couldn’t abandon the voice in my head that told me this was a mistake. I couldn’t do this, it would jeopardise everything for us both.

I pulled away, which stung the centre of my heart.

“Bil...Billy, we-we can’t,” I said, out of breath.

He pulled away, his puppy dog eyes looking directly into mine.

“You, you have that other guy, the one you’re interested in? You probably just got overwhelmed with what you’ve realised today, right? And it’s all just got a bit much? I’m really sorry I reciprocated, it’s completely against the rules.” I lied about being sorry, it’s exactly what I’d wanted for weeks now.

“James... You... You are the guy I’ve been talking about,” Billy confessed. “Jack is real, but my so-called hots for him are so not real, I just made them up because I didn’t know how to tell you that I liked you! That I lo—”

Billy froze. I froze time. This couldn’t happen, could it? I couldn’t let this happen, if I was selfish I’d ruin everything wouldn’t I?

It was one thing to abandon the bureau, but to selfishly keep Billy to myself, when he was so close to achieving his own path, I couldn’t do that to him. I wouldn’t.

I was so angry that I froze him in time, I promised I wouldn’t use abilities like this. Maybe if I got in touch with Catherine, and confessed everything, she’d help me fix it? Fuck. How could I fuck this up so badly?!

I looked into Billy’s unmoving eyes, my own began to well up. I loved this man, all I did was give him the tools to make himself better and I ended up falling in love with him in the process. To see him fulfil his potential and now be overspilling with it, filled my heart with joy, pride, and love.

I began to cry, I didn’t know what to do next.

Billy’s arms pulled me into an embrace, the shock winded me.

Billy had come off his path.

I don’t think Billy recognised what had just happened. He was frozen in time, if he was on a path, there’s no way he’d break out of it. Did he know what had just happened?

“Billy... Do you—” I tried to ask, but I couldn’t find the words.

Billy pulled back to face me again.

“I felt something, I felt like things stopped somehow? But it’s like I had a way forward, like I could have a say in what was happening and I could will things to keep going. You were there at the end and it made me know I was going the right way... I don’t know, it’s hard to explain, but then things moved again and you were crying!” he explained.

“What’s happening? Are you okay?” he asked, genuine concern filled his eyes.

“I don’t- really know-w where to begin” I said between sobs.

Billy pulled me back into his embrace, comforting me. We stayed like that for a few minutes.

I calmed down, and began to explain things as best I could. Billy was surprisingly receptive, and reasonable. I wasn’t sure how he would feel about the CCB having an ulterior motive for helping Billy.

“Was any of this ever meant to happen?” he asked, after taking everything I’d said in.

“Well, yes, I guess maybe it wouldn’t have been all...this.” I gestured to his body. “But, you were always going to be helped, it’s just I became your chance encounter instead of another person, it probably would have been some kind PT or something. And I guess they wouldn’t have been quite so... Effective.” I patted his broad chest.

“So, right before this happened, you paused time because... Well, I guess you didn’t want me to say what you thought I was gonna say?” He looked at me, a little upset which I expected, why wouldn’t he be hurt by what I did?

“I thought that...Billy I’m sorry, I feel awful I never wanted to use any abilities like that on you, but I thought I had ruined everything for you, I just, I thought maybe if I could stop you and get advice, I could fix it before it broke...I kinda hate myself for what I did...” I crossed my arms and looked down, I was sure he would be even more upset now.

“Given what you were trying to protect, like not just me but, everyone you work with? I think if the tables were turned, I’d do the same for you...I think I actually understand that the most out of all this. It’s okay, really. I get it.” He placed a finger under my chin and lifted my face up to meet his, and smiled.

I inspected Billy’s face, looking for any signs of sadness or anger. But it never came, instead, he seemed to be quite satisfied.

“So... Anyways, all the other stuff... What you’re saying is, I’m like, really, really lucky? No one else has ever had this treatment before at the CCB? Only the uh, that other guy, from that other one? Sorry this is a lot of information.” He scratched his pec absentmindedly as he spoke. I’m glad I was still sitting, this man made me weak in the knees just by existing, nevermind when he did something as simple and innocent as scratching an itch.

“Scott and the EEB, and yeah, I guess that’s one way of putting it?” I replied.

“I wouldn’t have it any other way.” He smiled and kissed my forehead. I still felt like I needed to make things up to him, but for now, it seemed all was forgiven.

“What happens now?” he asked.

It was a simple question, with a near impossible answer. I had no idea what would happen next. I suppose I should go back to Catherine and let her know. But, I couldn’t just leave Billy? It mattered more to me that he was safe and secure with what was happening. I needed to know what it meant for a human not to be on a path, but I didn’t know what to do, I hadn’t ever met Dale, I saw him do great things after being off his path. But I couldn’t just go and ask him about his experiences, he didn’t know anything about CCB or me.

Then, thankfully, my brain caught up—Scott! I could go and see Michael’s partner and ask him, maybe get him to get in touch with Billy if he felt comfortable? It might be that Scott could explain things better, with a more human approach, way better than I could manage anyway.

“I think I need to do some things to help you and figure out what’s next. The plan was always to maybe get you off your path, but I have no idea what comes next. It’s completely uncharted territory now. Is that okay? All you really need to do is just keep living your life as you have been, do whatever you think is right. You’re in control, more so now than you’ve ever been!” I was babbling, there was so much to think of, it was overwhelming, but I felt like Billy would be okay.

“Yeah that’s, fine, no problem. Will I see you tomorrow?” Billy asked.

“Yes, well, I’ll do everything I can, time does pass differently for us, but I’ll try my absolute best to be here tomorrow. But, I’m also gonna see if Scott can visit if that’s okay? He more than anyone can relate to what you’re going through.” I smiled at him, and leaned in for a kiss.

“Yeah, that would be really nice actually, it would be nice to talk to someone more on my level...er! No offence! I just mean another human who can, well, explain it like a human.” he laughed.

“And don’t stress, I don’t really get what’s happening, but I can see you’ve got a lot on your mind.” He smiled warmly at me.

“All right, I’ll, well I’ll see you soon, and I haven’t forgotten about our conversation before all this madness, I still feel awful about stopping time, but just...” I paused.

“It’s okay, I know, it’s okay,” he reassured me.

With that, we hugged goodbye, and I flashed over to Scott and Michael’s place. I just hoped neither of them would mind me turning up unannounced. I realised it was indecent to just be in the house. I was in what looked like a spare bedroom, so I flashed again on the outside of the front room window.

Before I could knock, Scott opened the front door, leaning down so he could see me. I knew Scott was hot (I often referred to him as hot Scott) but I wasn’t quite prepared for how attractive he was, and he was fucking huge!

“Oh...er, sorry I thought... You were someone else, did you take a picture out here with flash on or something?” he asked.

Of course, the flashing would look like Michael coming home. So in my efforts to avoid being indecent I’d caused confusion. Oops.

“I’m sorry Scott, I didn’t think, you must’ve thought I was Michael, I’m James! I don’t know if Michael’s told you about me. I’m sorry to just barge in, I tried to get to your front door but I kinda fudged it.” I sheepishly looked at him and smiled.

“Ooooh! You’re James! Yeah I know all about you! You were Dale’s assigned colleague at the uh, DDB?” Recognition sparked in his eyes, he smiled warmly at me.

“Close! CCB!” I laughed.

“Listen, I’m sorry to just flash over like this but I kinda need your help.” I looked at him hopefully.

“Oh man, anything! Happy to help Michael’s colleagues with anything, it’s the least I could do after everything,” he replied. “Come on in! It’s getting real cold out!” He shuffled back and straightened back up. It was quite funny, all I could see once he shifted back was just a wall of man, his thin jumper did nothing to hide his enormous physique, his pecs completely obscured my view of him. It was quite the sight.

I stepped in, grateful to be met by the warmth. He motioned me to follow and we headed into their living room. It was such a lovely place! Michael’s words hadn’t done it justice.

“I hope you don’t mind. I was in the middle of making dinner, I hoped maybe Michael would be joining me tonight. He said he’d try, but I guess he’s still tied up at the summit. Do you know anything by the way?” he asked, he looked hopeful, I suspected he was hoping it was coming to an end. He clearly missed Michael.

“Ahh...I’m really sorry but I probably know less than you do, I’ve been busy with uh, something else, it’s why I’m here actually,” I replied.

“Ahh, all right, no worries, I just thought I’d ask, so what brings you here?” he asked warmly.

I filled him in with the details.

“So basically, he’s fresh off his path, I don’t really know what’s gonna happen next, I was kinda hoping you could maybe go and check in on him, maybe talk to him about your experiences and get to know him?” I asked. I took a drink of the tea he’d offered, and realised I’d been talking for a while.

“Sorry, that was a lot of info I just blurted out at you!” I added.

He laughed. “No worries, I’ve gotten better at understanding your, uh, work? And yeah, happy to help, I’m actually free tomorrow, want me to go check on him then? To be honest, it would be nice to meet someone like me,” he mused.

“I was hoping you’d say that, I kinda already said I’d try and get you to visit tomorrow, so that would be amazing, I don’t think I can guarantee I’ll get back to him again quickly enough once I go back to the summit. You really lose all concept of time if you’re not here or near human clocks—that’s all it is with Michael by the way, I’m sure he wants to be here just as much as you want him here.” I smiled at him brightly, hoping it would cheer him up a little.

I couldn’t keep my legs still, millions of thoughts raced through my mind as I thought about what I’d need to do next. What would happen at the summit now that Billy was off his path? What would I say? Scott seemed to clock that I was consumed by thought.

“Thank you, that... that means a lot actually. And, look, I’m happy to help, it’s been nice to finally meet you James, I hope I see you again!” He smiled.

“Oh, I wasn’t—” I started.

He laughed again.

“It’s more than okay, I can see you’ve chilled out a bit, but I can also see your minds going a million miles a second! Go and do what you gotta do, I’ll keep tabs on Billy for you. Now get going, I can see you’re itching to get back.” He spoke with such understanding, he really was perceptive, Michael was right about that.

“Thank you Scott, seriously, this means the world to me!” I said as I got up to leave.

“Just quickly before you go, when you see Michael, can you tell him I miss him and love him, and can’t wait to see him again?” he asked, a hint of sadness in his voice.

Poor guy, I walked over to give him a hug, which as I approached I realised was no small task, Scott really was big, much bigger than Billy. Thankfully, Scott immediately leaned down to reciprocate.

“Of course I will,” I replied over his shoulder as he hugged me. I could feel the strength behind this fortress of brawn, he was amazing. Oddly though, whilst I thought I’d be a bumbling mess around such a hot guy, I found I didn’t really take much notice of Scott. My primary concern was Billy, and I was already beginning to miss him. I think that’s why I understood Scott’s sadness so much. He just wanted his boyfriend to come home soon and was missing him. I wondered if Billy would be my boyfriend after all this?

I wrote down Billy’s address, we said our goodbyes and I flashed over to the summit.

“So now you’re telling me the EEB shouldn’t continue because it messes with reality too much? Since when has that ever been an issue for ANY of our bureaus?!” Michael’s voice carried fury as I approached the conference hall. Once I entered, I looked over to him. I’d never seen him so riled up, he also looked exhausted. I looked over at Selena and Bartholomew, who seemed to be revelling in Michael’s frustration.

“Well, as I have been saying, you can’t validate the effectiveness of the EEB, and you have to admit your methods are qu—”

“Ahh, excellent timing, sorry to interrupt you and stop your humming Selena, please don’t short-circuit—” she jibed, “—but I think now is a great time for my colleague James to share with the room. James, if you would.” Catherine motioned for me to come sit by her.

Some warning would have been nice, what did she want me to say exactly? I broke all the rules and now I didn’t know what to do next?

I walked over to the board table, and sat between Catherine and Michael. I looked at Catherine, wide-eyed. She winked at me. Cool as ever. This was going to be... interesting?

Bartholomew and Selena looked at each other, then back at me, smirking, I hadn’t experienced much of the summit, but it was clear these two had formed an alliance. I guess it was fair. Michael and Catherine had done the same; the only innocent party here was Zachary, who appeared to have checked out a long while ago. I was sure both sides felt they were in the right, this wouldn’t still be going on otherwise. I was worried, sure, but none of these people were bad, they wanted what was best. It was just two of them were misguided on what they thought ‘best’ looked like.

Catherine leaned over to me. “Don’t say anything, but did you get Scott involved?” she whispered into my ear.

I slightly nodded, and she smiled. Was that important?

“Well, we’re waiting er, James, was it? Hm?” Selena queried, her silver eyes loomed over her glasses. I realised Bartholomew was doing the same, it was kind of comical, the pair of them clearly enjoying their self importance and mimicking each other’s behaviour. Judging by Michael’s flustered expression, I suspected they were winning this particular round, if we weren’t careful, they would soon get their own way in shutting down the EEB, and potentially the CCB given what I was about to share.

“Yes. That’s right. I was the colleague assigned to Dale, the human who went off his path after being involved wi—”

“We’ve already heard all about this, in extensive detail, from your director. Please, move on. Why are you here?” Bartholomew interrupted, waving its long fingers at me as if to request I hurry onto the next topic.

“Erm. All right. Well, I suppose I should tell you about Billy, our latest candidate, he’s as of today stepped off his path. So he’s currently doing...well, I suppose we have absolutely no idea what he’s doing,” I said, trying my best to imitate Catherine and be calm.

Their smiles faded. Zachary let out a short, sharp, surprised laugh, and sat up straight, apparently things had finally gotten interesting for him.

“You...what?!” Bartholomew shrieked.

“We believe that the EEB have always been the most effective with the betterment of human life, yes, they had been corrupted, but I’m sure you’ve discussed all that exhaustively. What they uncovered with Scott, and by extension, Dale, has shaken the foundations of what we do here. I get that it must be quite scary. Maybe you called this summit to shut down this line of thinking because it’s unpredictable and we won’t know everything that will happen anymore, but I truly believe this way of working with humans has merit, and should be explored. There’s no telling how humans without a path might pave the way to more progress than we’ve ever seen before. I think... The EEB, along with the CCB, and perhaps all bureaus, should work together, create a new workforce that supports humans who are able to be on their own paths.” I was having an out-of-body experience. I know I said those words, but I felt I was floating above my body, watching myself kick ass. I felt pride in what I was saying.

“A human on their own path can achieve things we never thought possible, you must be able to see that just from looking at Scott and Dale’s data. They continue to surprise us, even now, the impressions they leave on other humans is astonishing. How could more of that be a bad thing? We need more of the EEB and CCB, not less. We need passionate colleagues who love and know humans inside and out, who can support and nurture them to be their best selves,” I added. I leaned back in my chair slightly, satisfied with my little speech. Considering I had no idea what to say. I reckoned I’d pulled this out of the bag. Zachary’s expression in particular seemed to suggest I was right to be proud of myself—he was grinning like a Cheshire cat.

“Well said, thank you James. To add to that, as we’ve been speaking, Scott and Billy have now met, if we allow that to continue, their friendship will blossom. They will inspire each other to help other humans. Billy will focus on a new project that will encourage men just like him to change their lives for the better with a health and wellbeing programme—and he’ll do it for free, not for profit or fame—but because he cares deeply about others and wants to help those who are in a similar position to him before we helped him change his life for the better.” Catherine once again was cool, calm, and collected as she matter-of-factly explained what would happen next.

“As for Scott, he’s already been thinking of how he can put what he’s learned to use, his relationships with his neurodiverse friends at work will inspire him to launch an initiative across the world that will raise awareness for neurodiverse-friendly spaces in offices and other workspaces.” Catherine simply smiled at Bartholomew and Selena, knowing she had just won.

“So, tell me, Selena, how would that affect progress and process, feels like Scott would help to advance humans quite significantly, right? Bartholomew, I suspect there would be fewer male mental health-related deaths as a result of Billy’s work, correct?” She leaned back and crossed her arms, all she was missing was a mic to drop.

Michael stared at her, his mouth agape, completely bewildered. He had clearly been as in the dark as I was. We looked over at each other, and stifled a laugh in disbelief.

Selena and Bartholomew’s faces were a treat, they didn’t know where to look, what to say, or what to do.

Zachary was the first to break the silence—with booming laughter. He began clapping his hands as he spoke up.

“Catherine, I didn’t know you had it in you, that was sensational!” he exclaimed.

He swung his chair around, stood and flexed his arms to his colleagues.

“Well I’m definitely pumped after that! Come on guys, we’ve got work to catch up on, let’s go do what we do best. First one to initiate 10 hookups gets a blowjob from yours truly!” They all got up, and sauntered out one by one.

That was Zachary’s way, he knew Catherine had turned the tables, dismantled Selena and Bartholomew’s arguments and the summit had subsequently ended.

“I’m not sure why you wanted to shut either of us down, maybe you genuinely just believed you were doing the right thing, that it was in the name of efficiency, but I really, truly wish we hadn’t needed to go to such lengths to prove our worth. You are all directors here, equals, our divisions form a whole. Please learn from this. We all want the same thing, after all,” Michael spoke, seemingly relieved this was over.

“...Michael, you aren’t quite right about one thing.” Bartholomew cleared its throat and pushed its spectacles up its long, narrow nose.

“We—” It pointed at Michael, including him in the statement. “—are directors. Catherine is right, you have more than proven yourself.” Bartholomew, for the first time, smiled. It...didn’t suit it. There was something unnerving about seeing this spirit-like-humanoid-thing smile, but it had good intentions, I guess?

Selena had remained quiet, pursing her lips. She seemed to be internally furious, or...was it disappointment?

“I’m truly sorry. Hm,” she spoke up. To everyone’s surprise, she was apologising.

“I have clearly, significantly, miscalculated. I’m sorry, it won’t happen again. Hm. I agree with Bartholomew, you’re in Michael... Hmmyeah. Hm,” she added. With that, she got up to leave. Not saying another word to anyone, she flashed through the window, a cool silvery light briefly lighting up the room.

Everyone else slowly made their way out of the conference, until it was just the three of us.

We collectively sighed.

“Jesus Christ on a crumpet, that was so hard!!” Catherine cried out. Mine and Michael’s eyes widened, we’d known Catherine for so long, not once had she ever raised her voice. She turned to me, pulling me in for a hug, and looked over my shoulder to Michael.

“I’m so sorry, both of you, when I came across Billy’s file, I just knew, I knew what needed to happen. James, I hoped you would do exactly what you ended up doing, I may not know all the outcomes but my guess is you and Billy are now hopelessly in love, he’s the size of a house, and all you want to do is get back to him. Michael, I’m so sorry I put you through all of this, keeping you here. I knew it would keep the summit going long enough to give James the time he needed to get Billy off his path and be introduced to Scott. I had to keep all this to myself because I couldn’t risk either of you influencing any other outcomes. My goodness. I am so relieved!!” She faced down and rested her forehead on my shoulder.

Michael just looked at me, still in shock, I think. “Uhm... I guess we should get back to our boyf... Well, my boyfriend and your… whatever Billy is!” he laughed, and got up to leave.

“Yeah, he told me to let you know he loves and misses you, go to him!” I shared.

“Oh thank you, James… Now, no offence, but I’m going home for a long while, I’ll see you both in a few days. Thanks for everything Catherine, you’ve played a blinder here, truly!” He flashed home to a waiting Scott.

Catherine released me from her embrace.

“I know you think you’ve broken all the rules. You haven’t, there were never any to break. You’ll probably be furious that I based all this on a hunch, but I suspected love is the key to getting humans off their path. Thankfully, I was right! Obviously going forward we can’t just have every colleague falling in love with a human. We’ll find another way to bring love to people, whether it’s love for what they do, like politics, health, other people, whatever it is. We’ll give people the tools to better themselves, so they can focus on what matters most. Now, get out of here, I’m sure you’ve got a lot of explaining to do when you next see Billy. Don’t come back for at least a week, we’ve earned some time off!” Catherine smiled, patted me on the shoulder, and got up to leave. I smiled back and waved her off as she flashed home.

I leaned back in the chair and looked up into the high ceilings of this conference hall, it was quite the grand room, with impressive architecture.

I let everything that had happened over the last few months wash over me. It turned out I’d done everything right, Catherine had so much faith in me that she knew I’d pull through for her, she had enough belief in my ability for the both of us. I laughed to myself, all those weeks of doubt and turmoil, picking Billy over bureaus, breaking all the rules, not doing what I thought I should, turns out that’s exactly what I should have done in the first place!

I got up to leave, I checked my human watch for the first time since arriving. Brilliant, I was just in time for a morning with Billy!

I flashed into his kitchen, he was already there. My eyes widened and my mouth hung open at what I saw.

As soon as my light hit his room, he knew, he was already thumping towards me as I materialised into his kitchen.

It was terrifying, Billy was enormous! What on earth had happened?

He grabbed me, and lifted me into his arms in a loving embrace.

I couldn’t have been gone longer than 24 hours. My watch, it... only... showed me the time on earth... Not the date.

No one except me and Catherine knew about Billy. So, whilst I was gone... No one knew to check in and do reviews with Billy. He’d been steadily getting bigger and bigger all this time. But, how long had it been?

“I knew you’d be busy for a while, but I didn’t think it would be a whole month!” Billy exclaimed, his voice deeper than ever. It reverberated through my much smaller frame.

“Shit, Bil, loosen up the grip a little!” His arms were constricting and powerful. I wasn’t sure if I wanted more or less, but for now, I wanted to be able to breathe.

He chuckled and loosened his grip slightly, his paws cupped my ass. He was grinning ear to ear.

“Billy... I had, I was gone... I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, it felt like it was no time at all! I thought it had only been a day or two at most! Oh god, we... We can undo it, if you want, I can fix this!” I exclaimed, I thought I’d let him down once again, I tried to say more, but he placed a meaty finger over my lips.

“I knew what was happening, Scott’s been a big help, after the first few days, we realised you’d be gone for a while. Scott helped me see I had control over how big I got, if I didn’t want more, I could just chill on going to the gym so much, take a break from the therapy for a bit. Maybe treat myself to a burger...or 10.” He smirked.

“Don’t get me wrong, I did some of that, for like, 2 or 3 days, it didn’t suit me anymore. And to be honest, I kinda wanted to get bigger for you, so if anything, it made me push even harder. Judging by what I can feel from you down below, it was a good choice!” he purred.

I was indeed as hard as steel, but, he shouldn’t have done this for me, he sho—

“Before you start, I wanted this more than you did, I actually love being huge, the bigger I get, the more right it feels. It did kinda freak me out a little the first time my head hit the door frame though, Scott laughed when I told him, said he was the same. He said that was around the time he decided he’d had enough. But, I dunno, I wanna keep going a bit longer, I think, I haven’t measured anything since you left, I thought we could do it together.” He leaned in and kissed my neck. I shuddered.

I snapped out of it, there was something more important I needed to do. I slapped either side of his expansive, impossibly wide shoulders.

“Put. Me. Down.” I did my best to be commanding.

It was his turn to be a little terrified, I kinda liked it.

“We’ll get to what you just said in a second. First and foremost. There’s something you should know. I’m sorry to tell you this. But there’s no other way, it’s imperative I tell you this now before we say anything else!” I was stern, and kept up a good poker face. Billy looked a little nervous.

I grabbed onto his huge mitt, held it in my hands, and brought it to my heart.

“Billy. I love you. I am in awe of you, if you still want me, I am yours. Completely.”

Relief mixed with shock fell on Billy’s face, before a smile broke through. He whisked me back up and began to kiss me all over.

“I.” He kissed my cheek.

“Love.” He kissed my nose and forehead.

“You.” He kissed my lips.

“Too!” He kissed my neck once more, I shuddered once again.

Then, he sprang upright.

“But that was kinda mean, I’ll have to make you pay for that later.” He laughed, and set me back down on my feet.

“Right, magic up that tape and those scales, I wanna know how big I am.” He put his hands on his hips and raised his eyebrows expectantly.

I laughed, and snapped my fingers.

He slowly undressed, making a meal of it, he knew what he was doing. Once he was down to just his boxers, he motioned for me to get involved.

There was just one tiny problem—me, it had already been a struggle last time, but this time, he was fast approaching being two whole feet taller than me, I was only 5’6. Another 5 inches was all it would take, which didn’t seem like such a stretch (pun intended) for Billy now.

Feigning ignorance at my predicament, he raised his arms high up into a flex, nearer to his head, giving me a great view of his pits. I figured I could reach on my tiptoes, but when I raised my feet, he did too, his much larger feet raised him up even higher, and I really struggled to keep my balance and get the tape around his enormous arm.

“Is there a problem?” He looked at me as innocently as he could. I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction.

“Nope, not at all,” I replied, smiling just as innocently. I snapped my fingers and began to rise. I was floating in midair. I rose up until I was at eye-level with him, and smirked.

“Aww... cheater...” He laughed.

“Well, you know what they say, if you can’t win, cheat!” I laughed back, and took the measurement.

The expanse of his body was incredible, I was sure when he saw the measurements he would realise he was more than big enough. I took his chest measurement next. I marvelled at his pecs, giant mounds protruding out of his impossibly wide and thick chest, he looked an awful lot like a large fortress of muscle now, which put me in mind of Scott. I wasn’t sure who was bigger at this point. My mouth was dry, a shame really, I would have loved to give his pecs a tongue bath.

His legs were wider than his waist, it was incredible, verging on inhuman. I could feel the power emanating deep within. More measurements were taken. I was loving every second of this. I checked his feet with the tape, and calculated his new shoe size in my head.

Then, I landed back on my feet, I handed him the tape, expecting him to do his private measurements. He stared down at me and smirked. Without saying anything, he slowly slid his thumbs under the waistband of his boxers, slowly revealing his gigantic, now fully erect package. He pinged the waistband off his prodigious dick, and it slapped hard against his wall of indestructible abs.

“Go ahead, we’ll do plenty more than just measure later.” He winked.

I smirked back at him, and took the last measurements. This was the first time I’d ever seen him fully naked, and, well, hard as granite apparently, the flesh of his member almost felt like it was completely solid, I squeezed it a little, and my grip barely indented the shaft. A low groan escaped Billy’s lips. Not wanting to get too carried away yet, I took the final measurements.

I then jotted it all down for him to read. I checked him back over once again, he truly was incredible. I handed the pad over to Billy. He seemed equally impressed and delighted at the results.

Height: 6’6 → 7’1
Weight: 232lbs → 341lbs
Arms: 21 inches → 24 inches
Chest: 51 inches → 56 inches
Waist: 32 inches → 34 inches
Quads: 31 inches → 38 inches
Shoe size: 14 → 16
Length: 9 inches → 13 inches
Girth: 7 inches → 8 inches

“Getting somewhere now, but I wanna be a bit bigger, then I can really put you in your place for being so, soooo mean to me before!” he purred, and winked at me.

I was surprised he didn’t want to stop, but, equally, relieved, I was thrilled at the thought of him getting even bigger.

“Oh, well, I guess you’ll need more brawn if you wanna take me on, it’s not as if I’m some eternal cosmic being with powers you can’t even imagine, is it?” I wore a shit eating grin, yeah Billy, I can give as good as I get.

“Powers I can straight up bypass now, actually!” he retorted, smiling at me.

“Oh? Is that so?” I snapped my fingers, flinging him into the air and turning him upside down, I raised him high enough so we were eye level.

He let out a deep squawk, clearly surprised by how effortlessly someone of his size could be lifted.

“Two options if you wanna get down, admit defeat, or give me a spiderman-style kiss!” I laughed, and bit my lip. Billy was delighted by my playfulness.

“All right, all right, c’mere.” He lent forward to kiss me, we made out for a few seconds. I brought him back down, I didn’t want him to get too lightheaded with blood rushing to his head. His dick, ever impressive and imposing, had remained completely solid, no amount of diverted blood could stop it.

Rather abruptly, he tore into my shirt, it fell from my body, leaving me with just my pants, I kicked of my shoes, and he picked me back up into an embrace, and walked us into the bedroom, all the while, he planted kisses everywhere, my face, neck, shoulders and chest. Each kiss sent pulses through my body. I had been hard this whole time, but by this point, my briefs were soaked.

Finally in the bedroom, he threw me onto the bed. He pulled off my pants, and pawed at my briefs. He finally got his hands on my dick, staring at it hungrily. Without warning, he slipped my entire length down his throat. I wasn’t anywhere near his size now, but I had a respectable and thick 7.5 inches on me. But our difference in size meant he could effortlessly give me head, and it felt incredible.

As he bobbed up and down, I could feel his weighty pecs pressing into my legs. The power in this man’s body was intoxicating, he wasn’t even really doing anything strenuous, but I could feel how strong he was, and the more I experienced, the more I wanted.

I could feel myself getting close, I moaned in ecstasy as the first wave of my orgasm hit, I have seen the cosmos plenty of times, but it paled in comparison to the stars I saw as I came. Billy greedily lapped up my cum. There was no telling how long my orgasm lasted, but eventually, it relented. Once my vision refocused, I was ready for more. I stood up on the bed, realising that even with the added height the bed provided, I was still a bit shorter than Billy, my dick released another spurt of cum at the realisation.

Billy smiled in surprise, and I looked down at my prize. It was staring straight at me, eager to be pleased.

I darted down to his dick, gripping it firmly and tonguing his slit, he let out a guttoral moan. I wrapped my mouth around his head, he was really, truly huge, I needed juuust a little help to get him fully inside. I snapped my fingers and felt everything widen, just enough to let him thrust all the way down my throat. He roared, and began to buck his hips. I held his waist firmly, I was in control. He relented, placing his huge paws on my shoulders. He wasn’t applying any pressure at all, but I could feel the hefty weight of his arms. This redoubled my efforts, and I began sliding along his length slowly, at first. I was sensual, deliberate, before picking up the pace.

Billy was seriously losing it, which encouraged me even more. He respected my instruction, refraining from thrusting too much, but he couldn’t fully help himself. I knew he was getting close, then... I felt something.

Things started to shift. At first, it felt like his dick was just swelling because he was about to cum, but when the cum didn’t shoot down my throat, I opened my eyes, not sure of what was happening.

Then I noticed my body was moving more upright, I looked up, Billy’s face was obscured by his globular pecs. It took me a few moments to realise, but Billy was growing! His pecs pushed out more and more, I moved my hands down around his thighs, which were filling up with more muscle and power. He rose higher and higher.

Every muscle expanded, I was torn, I wanted to step back to take it all in, but I was enjoying his dick too much, which I now realised was also getting bigger, pushing its way further and further down my throat.

His balls went from occasionally slapping against my chin, to attempting to bulldoze my neck.

I felt his hands get even larger on my shoulders, his fingers pushing further down my body, his palms, which already engulfed my shoulders, began to push me down slightly, purely due to the weight of his rapidly expanding arms, I couldn’t quite see them properly, but his upper arms were truly monstrous now from what I could make out.

Billy growled, his orgasm finally taking hold, without much warning, a torrent of cum blasted my innards. Blast after blast, a geyser of cum filled me to the brim. Just like Billy, I greedily took it all, I watched as my gut distended, expanding to take all of Billy’s load. The sensation caused me to cum again too, shots splashed against Billy’s titanic thighs.

After what felt like hours, our orgasms finally quelled. I slowly pulled his length out of my mouth, immediately feeling his absence in my throat. I couldn’t wait to do this again.

Once I came to slightly, I checked myself over, there was an odd light emanating from my hands, it wasn’t the usual golden colour I was used to, it was a bright, purplish colour that had cracked through my veins. I shook my hands, as though trying to get a flashlight to work properly. The light reluctantly fizzled out.

One thing was clear, I’d somehow accidentally grown Billy.

Reeling from our orgasms, Billy had lowered himself down, we both sat on the foot of the bed, panting.

He leaned against me, which was pushing down on me, more than I think he realised. I wasn’t sure yet if he’d even realised he’d grown.

We shifted up into the bed, and made ourselves more comfortable, I cuddled into his side, my feet only just reached his knees.

He hadn’t said anything yet, but I could tell something was bothering Billy, I was pretty sure I knew exactly what it was. He looked down at his brawny, outstretched feet, quizzically.

“Billy... I uh, I don’t know how, but...” I started.

“Did... You, grow me?” he asked back.

“Y...yes” I replied.

“I thought so, my feet are hanging out of the bed more than they were, I just... Feel like I take up more space, you also seem even smaller, so... huh. Pretty cool James, next time though let me know it’s happening, it felt amazing but I thought it was just the blowjob... next time I wanna see it too!” He looked into my eyes and smiled excitedly, though the smile slowly faded when he sensed something was wrong.

“What’s up?” he asked, concern spreading across his beautiful face.

“Nothing, well, nothing bad I don’t think. To be honest I don’t know. This has never happened to anyone at any bureau as far as I know.” I stared into his eyes, perplexed.

“Oh...is that bad? Should I be worried? Can you control it?” I could see worry growing, I didn’t want him to panic.

“It’ll be okay, I’ll figure it out, you’re safe, and hey you wanted to get bigger, I guess I just got you there a bit sooner, I boosted you just like the good old days!” I cheekily smiled at him, hoping I was putting his mind at ease.

“I meeeean, I wasn’t a huge fan last time, it took a lot of getting used to, the slower more gradual thing is more my style nowadays, and even that was weird to go through at first,” he replied, smiling back at me. Good, for now at least, he seemed more comfortable.

“Let’s maybe not do this again until I know what’s going on though, and we should probably measure you again, just take it slow, I think I’ve really blown you up this time,” I stated.

He nodded in agreement, and I fetched the tape, scales and notepad from the other room. The measurements weren’t any less sensual this time around, but the mystery surrounding what happened prevented either of us from getting carried away.

I had written everything down, bewildered at what was now on the page.

Height: 7’1 → 7’9
Weight: 341lbs → 469lbs
Arms: 24 inches → 27 inches
Chest: 56 inches → 62 inches
Waist: 34 inches → 37 inches
Quads: 38 inches → 44 inches
Shoe size: 16 → 18
Length: 13 inches → 15.5 inches
Girth: 8 inches → 10 inches

We both lay back down in bed, assessing what this meant for us both.

Billy was equally stunned now that he knew exactly how much he’d grown, even for him and his relatively new desire to be bigger, this was a significant jump. He gulped at the numbers.

“Billy I’m sorry, I could see it happening, to be honest I found it really hot, but I also didn’t realise it was me doing it until after it stopped. There was this weird, purple light, shards of it cracked through the veins in my hands, I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s not something that’s ever been recorded, certainly not at the EEB or CCB.” I frowned, I didn’t know what this meant, I guessed I’d need to go and speak to a director, but who?

“It’s okay, I’m clearly fine, I’m just...well, the size of a bus now, I guess!” He chuckled softly.

“But it’s okay, it’s maybe a bit bigger than I thought I would end up, but it’s okay. I think we should stop the changes now though, right? Especially if you’re gonna go off again for any length of time, I don’t wanna keep getting even bigger whilst you’re away, not now I’m so huge.” He furrowed his brow, flexed his arm and felt its power with his hand.

“Yeah... I think this may be enough.” he looked back at me with a toothy smile.

I’m glad he was being so relaxed about all this, and frankly, he was thinking more clearly than I was. I definitely would have left without stopping his CCB changes. I snapped my fingers, breaking them, he would no longer get any bigger, unless I couldn’t get this weird purple hand thing under control.

“It’s done, it’ll stop now, don’t binge any more burgers, I can’t save you from the calories anymore!” We laughed and I kissed him on the forehead.

“I need to go and speak to...someone, I don’t actually know yet, but I need to figure this out. Who knows, maybe now that your time with CCB is over, I won’t be able to make you grow like that again, but still, I want to be absolutely sure.” I got ready to leave as I spoke to him.

“Babe, I’m fully with you, go do what you gotta do, I’ll be here when you get back, just, try not to make it a month this time, I’ll forget what you look like!” We laughed again and I leaned back down for a goodbye kiss. My heart fluttered when he called me babe.

“I won’t, pinky promise.” Rather humorously, I saw that his pinky was longer than my index finger. I marvelled at his size once more, but quickly shook myself out of my stupor, and made my way to the window.

The purple hue of the strange light in my hands was my only clue, there was only one bureau I knew that would often use this colour, the Sensuality and Salacity Bureau. I just hoped Zachary and his insanely sexy colleagues wouldn’t give me too much of a hard time.

I flashed over to the SSB headquarters gate, upon arrival, I could see a fancy-looking bar. Chatter, laughter, and sex filled the air. The surrounding area was dimly lit, whilst there wasn’t night and day in the space where bureaus existed, the environment often changed to accommodate each bureau’s distinct style. A fine, sparkling, purple sand made up the ground I walked on, it reminded me of body glitter. As I walked towards the building, it swirled by my feet. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

As expected, there were a lot of people, everything was loud, lively, and boisterous, overwhelming my senses. Off to the left, an orgy was taking place, bodies on bodies, skin to skin, people of all ages, shapes, ethnicities, it was passion personified. Everyone was completely free and feral. I looked around more, hoping to see Zachary, or at least an office door with his name on it. He was nowhere to be seen.

I decided to approach the bar, maybe a drink would calm my nerves. There was a man bent down behind the bar, checking stock. The noise was too loud for me to call to him, so I knocked loudly on the bar by his head, hoping he could hear it. He peered up to greet the knock, it was Zachary!

Realising it was me, Zachary stood to his full, imposing height. I hadn’t really taken in how tall he was back at the summit—was he this tall before? He sat down for most of it, and with everything going on, I hadn’t paid much attention to him when he left. But it didn’t sit right in my head, I’m sure he wasn’t that big.

The bar space he stood in had been lowered down by a couple of feet, presumably to accommodate him. It was hard to get a feel for how tall he was, but he had to be maybe 8 feet, maybe more. He was only wearing a skimpy jockstrap, the pouch stretched almost beyond its limit. His body was intoxicating, built for pleasure. His medium length, blond wavy hair was slicked back and his beard gave him a rugged finish. His muscles were peppered with purple body glitter, but were otherwise completely smooth.

“James! What can I get ya?” he shouted over the crowd, his deep voice boomed, cutting through the noise.

Knowing he would have difficulty hearing me, and also wanting a bit of privacy, I pointed towards what looked like an empty office space. He smirked, nodded, and opened up the bar, he stepped up onto the same floor as me, this man was gigantic, much bigger than Billy.

He walked ahead of me, his titanic bubble butt filled my vision, it was at my eye level. I was hypnotised by each cheek as they shook with his footsteps, if I chose, I could walk directly into him and taste his delicious-looking ass without even needing to bend down. It’s like the convenience of it begged me to just go for it, but I refrained. This is exactly what Zachary was all about, he was irresistible.

The door was much larger up close, as was Zachary, by my estimations, he was at least 9 feet tall, the door, along with most of this establishment, was clearly built to accommodate his stature.

He opened the door and motioned for me to enter.

“Make yourself comfortable li’l Jamie boy!” he boomed with a cocky grin.

I obliged, I sat in a seat facing his desk, the office was filled with various sex toys and contraptions, some of which I didn’t even understand how they worked, some looked more likely to cause pain than pleasure. Maybe that was the point.

I felt a weight land on my shoulder. I looked to my left and saw the biggest soft dick I had ever seen in my entire life. It had to be 13 inches or so.

I peered up, and up, to look at Zachary, at this angle, my view of his face was completely obstructed by his impossibly thick pecs. He peered over them, meeting my gaze, and smirked.

I suddenly realised how this must have looked, I cast my mind back to when I was ogling him at the summit, now I had turned up out of the blue, or, purple I guess. Clearly I had sent the kind of signals to suggest I wanted this. The romantic monogamist within me recoiled against my growing lust. I wanted to be with Billy. I probably shouldn’t fool around with Zachary, as fun as it would be.

But a moth can’t fight its base urges, Zachary was a perfect flame. Then, my hands itched. I looked back down at them, the strange purple light once again had cracked through from under the network of my veins. Horrified, I looked back up behind me, sure enough, Zachary was now growing, alarmingly fast. His head had lolled back, and his dick grew heavier on my shoulder before launching itself into the air, doubling in length and thickness within seconds. Zachary roared, an unending beam of cum shot from his cannon-sized manhood, instantly drenching the whole room in his seed.

His cum was up to my ankles within a few moments, but suddenly, everything stopped. I looked back up, even further than before, to see Zachary, staring down at me, in stunned silence. It made sense the director of the sex bureau would have complete control of his orgasms, it’s as though he’d flicked a switch and his body instantly responded. The geyser of cum had ceased its flow, and his dick deflated as though it had popped like a balloon.

Zachary’s wavy hair now brushed against the 11-foot ceiling. He took a few steps back, and slowly lowered himself to the floor, carefully crossing his legs as he sat.

“Sorry Jamie boy, I got the signals wrong, clearly... You’re here about that.” His huge meaty finger pointed at the fading purpley light in my hands.

Zachary’s team were incredibly efficient at cleaning up after sex, I suppose it was a mundane task for them, they were in and out in a flash.

With the room returned to normal, Zachary carefully manoeuvred himself behind his desk, even the enlarged chair crafted for his previous stature had no hope of supporting his new titanic self, so instead he opted to remain sat on the floor. Even as he was, he still loomed over me as I sat in the chair opposite. He was somewhat clothed now, wearing an open silk dressing gown that seemed too small for how wide he was.

“How’d you do that little buddy? Don’t get me wrong, I’m digging the improvements you’ve made. Karen from accounting is gonna lose her shit when she finds out we’re gonna need another remodel though. But yeah, is this what you came here to do? Blow me ‘up’ instead of ‘off’?” Zachary’s eyes burned into mine with intense curiosity, which was unfortunate, I’d hoped he knew what all this was.

“No, I’m really sorry Zachary, I came here hoping you could help, I have no idea what’s happening. I just came here because the light in my hands is purple, it’s... It’s all I had to go on,” I replied, defeated.

“Good thinking, it’s got something to do with us for sure. Purple’s our thing as you can see!” He gestured to his chest, peppered with purple body glitter.

“It’s also clearly tied to you being turned on, like, it turns on when you do. And it must just be directed at who you’re turned on by, no one else here suddenly surged taller and beefier. Hmm, this is so interesting!” Zachary was like an excited puppy, I hadn’t expected him to be so… analytical? But then again he was a director of a bureau. I scorned myself for pigeonholing Zachary just because of how he looked.

“That’s all actually really helpful, I don’t know what’s going on and haven’t really thought about what triggers it, why, or, well, anything really, I just came here as soon as it happened,” I replied.

“What happened? Tell me everything!” He was fascinated, his eyes sparkled with interest.

I started to give Zachary the highlights, but he scoffed at me, reminded me who he was and asked me to go into detail, right down to whether my dick was pointing north when I came and what the temperature of the room was, whether it was a full moon or not, his questions were endless.

“Okay, so, super niche, reality warping, body modification powers, triggered by arousal and targeted on whoever you’re aroused by,” he said as he inspected my hands in his giant paws.

“Do you know what it is now?” I asked, hopeful.

“No idea! Isn’t that great?!” he replied, beaming.

“...No, not really?” I understood the delight of finding something we’ve never seen before, it was incredibly rare these days, but if no one could tell me what this was, and how to stop it, or at least control it, what was I going to do?

“I mean, there’s perks to being in the SSB, we can make ourselves look like whatever we find sexiest and most comfortable, some of our colleagues are into really kinky shit, I just like being huge and strong, but I guess this might be a bit impractical, I’d stay like this, but Karen will bitch at me—’we don’t need a remodel, just shrink down wah wah waaaah,’” he said, mocking Karen’s pitchy voice, then snapped his fingers, a purple flash lit the room briefly.

And nothing happened.

We both looked at each other, confused.

“Am I...did I go back? Am I smaller?” He checked himself over. Was he messing with me? If he was, he was a great actor.

“You’re the same, try again?” I asked.

Another snap and flash, nothing. Once more. Nothing.

“Hmm. I’m... Stuck like this,” he stated, matter-of-factly.

“Karen really is gonna be pissed...” he mumbled to himself.

“What about...well, any other form?” I queried, I figured he had different forms to attract different people, maybe it only affected this one appearance.

He snapped and flashed into a couple of forms.

Snap. A chesty, sultry woman, but scaled up to 7 feet and buff. “Well, nope, I was thin and short before, made this amazing rack look even bigger.”

Snap. A wise, older-looking gentleman... Who apparently since retirement had hit the gym every day for 7 years. “Same again...way more buff than I should be, and much taller...”

Snap. Back to his normal, amplified self.

“Well, whatever you did Jamie boy, it’s stuck for good, no way I can edit this out. So that means you can’t undo it on your little human lover either.” He grimaced, knowing it wasn’t what I wanted to hear.

I felt like my heart had stopped beating. I couldn’t breathe.

“...Zachary... What do I do? What are my options?” Tears filled my eyes.

“I’m sorry James but... well, you either go back to this guy and slowly but surely turn him into a titan which no human could realistically survive for long, or... Well, you leave him well enough alone. Never go back... Don’t see him again.” He frowned, he could feel the pain I was in.

“I will say one other thing, but I don’t want you to get your hopes up,” he added.

“Zachary, please, whatever it is, tell me!” I tried to remain focused, blinked the tears away and rubbed my eyes.

“From how the light presents in your hands, it reminds me of our powers when we’re using lust to get humans to sleep with each other. It has limits... This creates a challenge, we can’t force unrealistic matches. The power craps out before we can get the two incompatible humans together. Which makes sense, right? Otherwise everyone would just sleep with anyone and that would be its own problem.

I think there’s a limit to what you can do with whatever this is, it’s clearly tied to lust. It’s just a theory, and there’s no way to know what the limit is, but it’s worth trying, maybe it’s not too extreme? You’re human might end up like, huge, but not huge-huge?” He shrugged and bit his lip. He knew it wasn’t much to go on. But, then his eyes flashed with inspiration.

“You could keep going with me, I’m already gonna need to remodel, might’s’well make it a really big, grand remodel.” He smirked, looking down at himself and flexed. He must have wanted to create a building as imposing as he now was.

I pondered his hypothesis and potential experiment, but my heart ached at the thought of betraying Billy. I wasn’t sure if it could be classed as cheating on him, but it felt like it.

“Zachary... No, that’s, well one, I don’t wanna cheat on Billy, and two, there’s no saying how big you’d end up?” I shook my head, it wasn’t as good a solution as he was making out.

“Look. It’s all we got, and hey, do you think I originally landed on 9 feet? Dude, I started off at like 30 feet, which is the biggest I could manage to be, when I first made this form, my original form actually, this is the one that was the most, well, me. I was always my most comfortable at the max of 30 feet, it just felt, right? Sometimes I go outside and grow back to that size, just to feel it for a bit... But yeah, I only shrunk down because... Well, fucking Karen from accounting, and her fucking bullshit budget and logic. ‘no one else is that size, be realistic, waaah.‘” He mocked her again and winked at me, trying to cheer me up.

“You’d be stuck at whatever size you ended up though. No more freedom to choose what size your original form is... It’s not a good idea, I really appreciate the offer but—”

“Hang on, I just had another idea” Zachary interrupted, and held up a finger. He began to shift, purple light glistened, it grew bright, blinding. I looked away from the overwhelming brightness. Then, abrupt darkness. I looked back and saw a cute twink standing before me, he was shorter than me... But looked suspiciously similar to me.

“I can always make new forms, it seems they’re not affected, just the old ones I’ve used before!” He was giddy, satisfied he had come up with a solution.

“C’mon, this’ll at least let you know if there is a limit to this, then you can make an informed decision about how you wanna handle it.” He swayed from side to side with his hands behind his back, playfully.

I hoped Billy would understand what I was about to do. It wasn’t cheating if it was science? Yeah, I’m not convincing anyone with that one, least of all myself.

“All right Zachary... Let’s... try this out,” I sighed.

“Great!” He flashed back to his usual, oversized form.

He snapped his fingers, and I felt us move to a new blank space, it was Zachary’s personal pocket void, something just for directors. Shifting purple sand swirled and danced around us, revealing some bedroom basics, including an oversized bed that could accommodate all 11 feet of Zachary’s imposing body.

“For scale, no use being in a void and not having any frame of reference.” He smiled, as the ‘room’ finished furnishing itself. I couldn’t help but admire Zachary’s intelligence. In the space of a few minutes, he’d managed to diagnose the problem, and was already close to understanding the limits of the issue with the limited data we had.

He snapped his fingers again, The purple glitter whisked around us, leaving us both completely naked, well, 99.9% naked. Some stray glitter had stuck to our skin. This stuff always got everywhere, even when it was magical.

“Right. Hit me with it,” he demanded.

I held out my hands.

Nothing.

“Oh, right, duh, gotta get you horned up.” He banged the base of his palm off his forehead, then swooped down and lifted me into his embrace. The dominance of his immense body was overwhelming. My feet dangled aimlessly by his waist, until they suddenly had purchase. Zachary’s enormous, erect dick protruded directly out, despite its obvious weight, it was resolute and continued to rise up. It effortlessly supported its own weight and my feet.

All 26 inches throbbed, menacingly. I felt my own manhood trying to compete, much smaller, but just as mighty. I was still feeling a little guilty about Billy, but lust was already overtaking, winning the race.

I placed my hands on Zachary’s prominent nipples, they were tantalisingly big, about the size of a penny or a dime, they reacted to my touch, becoming erect, they were probably over an inch long. I leaned in and flicked one with my tongue. Zachary shuddered and swayed.

We both realised the bigger they are, the harder they fall. We looked at each other and nodded, Zachary lowered onto the bed with me in tow.

With safer footing, I began exploring Zachary’s body, being double my height, and likely quadruple my weight, there was a lot to explore, any body part I touched, he would flex. I marvelled at the hardness of his muscles.

He placed a hand behind his head, and invited me towards his armpit.

I eagerly rubbed my face against him, licking his pit, he was completely addictive, the more I got the more I wanted. I grabbed onto his upper arm, he flexed, causing a shockwave that almost pushed my hand off his peak.

I glided my tongue up and over to his bicep and went to town on it, sucking, licking, even nibbling the whole, expansive surface of his arm. My dick was slick with pre, but there were no signs of the odd purple light yet.

I moved back over to his centre and straddled his abs, kneading his pillowy pecs like dough. Every so often he’d flex his chest, making my hands dance against their will. I tried to touch myself, but Zachary was two steps ahead of me. He gently pulled my arm away when I tried to grab onto my manhood. With his other finger, he glided it up my length, causing me to shake uncontrollably. He brought his finger covered in my pre to his mouth, and sucked his finger like it was my dick.

Meanwhile, his dick wanted in on the action. It became even harder, pushing itself into my back, his head brushed against my shoulder blades, coating my back in his pre.

He began to crunch his abs rhythmically, and thrust his dick up and down my back. I was desperate to cum. I grabbed both of his nipples once more, earning a guttural moan from Zachary.

Then, the itchiness in my palms returned, purple light cracked through my hands once more, Zachary ignored it, continuing to focus on me, and I did my best to pretend it wasn’t happening. I focused back on the sensations of his body against mine, then things started to shift, slowly at first, but it picked up speed. Zachary was growing once more.

His impenetrable muscles pushed against each other and my body. I felt myself rise, his dick lurched up, landing on my shoulders, then my neck, then on the back of my head, before surpassing me completely.

Meanwhile, I’d lost my grip on his nipples, I looked over to his endless chest, his pecs were now out of my reach, shortly followed by his top row of abs.

The oversized bed had long since shattered under Zachary’s massively increasing weight, the remains quickly disappearing under him.

Zachary scaled up, quicker and quicker, his expanding frame knocked away the other furniture and crushed everything under its might, he was lost in the sensations. I was being weighed down more and more by his monumental monster, it forced me down, pinning me to Zachary’s ever-increasing wall of abs.

The purple light sputtered, growing hot, it flared and sparked, then waned. Zachary was right—it had a limit.

I lost grip on the next set of abs, the light crackled more, and then the next row of abs became out of my reach. I could only touch the final row of his imposing cobbled road of abdominal muscles.

The light finally sparked out, my hands were singed, steam rising from my palms. Zachary pulled his dick up a little, allowing me to sit upright.

I grabbed my dick and simultaneously, we came. I was lucky the sheer size of Zachary’s mountainous dick shielded me from its eruption. His cum shot up so high and far, I couldn’t even see where it was landing, somewhere far into the expanse of the void we were conducting this not-so-little experiment. It was so explosive that my comparatively tiny body was shook violently by the pulsing thrums of his orgasm. Despite being enormously outgunned, my own dick shot out an impressive load, my juices arched up, splashing about halfway up the valley of Zachary’s abs.

Zachary’s growth halted, it slowed to a complete stop as soon as the remnants of purple light completely faded. We came endlessly for what could have been an eternity.

Finally, we were both spent. I opened my eyes and looked directly ahead at the landscape of Zachary’s body. He was unfathomably titanic. Off in the distance, Zachary’s larger than life head rose up like a sun rising over two brawn-filled, hill-like pecs. He looked at me from the opposite end of his fields of muscular perfection, raised an arm, and waved. He opted not to speak, suspecting the volume and pitch would be too low and loud for me to understand.

Zachary was now 55 feet tall, 10 times my height.

I knew instantly. I could never go home to Billy. My heart shattered.

Zachary was incredibly caring in the moments that followed my realisation that I could never see Billy again, I was unable to speak, and everything was a blur.

He’d carefully collected my slumped, sobbing body in his gigantic hand, and gently lowered me to the floor, before shifting into a much smaller form.

He collapsed the void, bringing us back to his office.

We sat in silence, only my sobs filled the room.

He took care of the rest, he flashed me to my home, carrying me to bed. He checked back in occasionally with updates.

In the time that followed, which could have been anywhere from a few days to a few months, Zachary had met with the other bureaus to explain my phenomenon. Apparently, my CCB abilities had somehow fused with SSB abilities, no one could figure out what had happened. It was unprecedented. Even when a colleague requested a transfer, they could never lose their old bureau’s abilities or learn new ones. I was the first to ever experience this anomaly, I cursed whatever I could think of that had decided it would be me to have this affliction.

I’d also heard Billy refused to give up on me, smashing what was left of my heart further. He was stuck in a continuous cycle of arguing with Michael and demanding that he be able to see me, Scott would mediate, asking both to see reason. It put a strain on their friendships, but they would all understand how each side felt, reconciling, before repeating the argument, again and again. Day after day.

I meanwhile was unable to get out of bed, my existence felt so meaningless without Billy, I tried to pull myself together, I’d managed perfectly fine before, I’d had relationships before. I tried to reason with this love-sick puppy that had been kicked, but it was futile, I couldn’t shake these overwhelming feelings of sadness, I was pinned down in my bed by depression.

I’d never felt love like this before, love that quite literally pulled Billy off his path and my abilities into chaos. I even contemplated going back in time, to before all this happened, but I knew I would play everything out in exactly the same way, or worse, with the new uncontrollable ability to blow him up to unimaginable sizes.

After Zachary stopped checking in, I fell into long, death-like sleeps, rarely waking for more than a few minutes at a time before falling back into a dark slumber.

Maybe if I just stayed here long enough, let Billy live out his life before he passed onto the next, maybe then I’d feel better, just forget this whole thing happened. His lifetime really wasn’t all that long for us.

More seemingly endless sleep consumed me. I dreamed of the life I could have had with Billy, I wanted to stay there forever. Eventually I woke, crushed by the reality once more.

Billy...

I couldn’t imagine the pain I must have caused him, I hadn’t even said goodbye, offered any explanation. He must have been furious with me, and I couldn’t blame him, but... This was for his own good, it was better this way, maybe one day he’d understand. The guilt of abandoning Billy made things even worse. I cried into my pillow for the millionth time, wallowing in self-pity.

A cool silvery light disturbed my eyes, they shut tighter.

“Enough. Get up. Hm,” a voice called out in the darkness.

My eyes peered open, slowly. The room was unlit, but I could make out a shadowy figure near the window. I could see a string of chrome glistening in the moonlight.

Selena.

Really? Of all the people they could send, they chose the humming robot?

“I heard you think that. H-U-M-mh.” She exaggerated a robotic hum. Was...was Selena funny?

“James. Get up!” She walked over and swiftly kicked the leg of my bed, shaking me fully awake.

“Oh god, jeez right okay. Okay!” I hissed, crankily.

“Get dressed, you need to come with me, you may have given up, but no one else has,” she sternly stated.

“If you don’t get up right now, I’m telling Catherine and Michael you have stuffed unicorns on your bed,” she jibed.

She wasn’t going to drop this, was she?

I reluctantly flailed up into a sitting position, and rubbed my eyes.

“Good,” she stated flatly. She snapped her fingers, the room illuminated with every light and lamp in my bedroom.

I looked over at her, bleary-eyed. She had her arms crossed, but let out a soft chuckle.

We headed over to her bureau, I always thought the EEB building was understated, maybe slightly dull compared to the other bureaus I’d seen recently, but EEB’s was ironic because of all the amazing stuff they did with humans.

This however, was not that. This truly was the most mundane, boring building I’d ever laid my eyes on. It was essentially a box-like structure of faded red bricks and mortar, with the occasional window to break up the monotony.

Selena guided us through the office space, colleagues were meticulously spaced out in countless rows, working in silence. I looked either side of the room as we walked, it was like looking into mirrors held up against each other, an endless, infinite reflection upon reflection, except it wasn’t an illusion. I recognised some of the workers, they were transfers from EEB.

Eventually, we arrived at a door leading to her office. She opened it and motioned for me to go inside.

All the directors—Michael, Scott, everyone sat around a table. My heart shot into my throat, Billy was also here, looking just as huge and hot as when I left him. My palms itched slightly, and panic rose within me.

Selena shuffled behind me, and gently pushed me to a seat, Billy was over to my left, from my vantage point, he was mostly obstructed by Scott’s smaller, but equally impressive mass. Billy was looking away from me.

No, this, I couldn’t stay here, I didn’t want to grow Billy, he’d get too big, he wouldn’t be able to live a reality where he was that big, it was impossible, it could kill him!

Images of Zachary’s titan body flashed in my mind, the itchiness in my palms began to spread.

A massive man I didn’t recognise at first, sat to my right, placed a hand over mine, and held onto it tightly. I looked up at his eyes, and recognised them as Zachary’s. He’d kept his original eyes, and some other features, but overall he looked different, brunette instead of blond, clean shaven. Still hot, but different, he was still a huge, muscle bound giant, but he was at a much more manageable size. Karen from accounting must have been pleased. He just stared back, taking deep breaths, I did the same.

I felt the itching subside.

Selena watched the exchange, when she saw me visibly relax into my seat, she looked towards Zachary and nodded, smiling slightly.

A presentation lit up onto the wall opposite me. Hundreds of graphs, citations, and references loaded into view. I looked over at everyone briefly, confused.

“Since the incident, as you know, we’ve all been researching the phenomenon E dash 17, XJ, 72, 37, 67, dash 01. What we have concluded about E dash 1—”

“Selena, please, don’t do this, just call him James. I beg you...” Bartholomew, of all people-like spirits, hushed her, seemingly exasperated.

“Yes. Hm, sorry everyone. Hm. After a couple of weeks of Billy protesting, we decided to move him to our office spaces. We wanted to be able to run tests and simulations, so it suited us. It would also prevent any issues with time differences between our realities.” She briefly looked over at Billy, before continuing.

“E...Eams...James. Hm. Displayed powers he shouldn’t be able to use, we believe this is why they are so volatile. He isn’t able to control them because realistically, they shouldn’t exist. This isn’t too dissimilar to Ruse’s abilities. But, rather than harvesting human potential to fuel her abilities, this power has a different source. Though, even now, the origin of this ability’s power is unknown. We only know it has its limits.”

Michael and Catherine looked over at me, their faces were stone-like, impossible to read. Everyone seemed to be really clinical, but relaxed. Frankly, it pissed me off. This was my potential existence, my chance to be with who I loved at stake, what gave them the right to dissect my problems like this, and bring me and Billy here, putting him at risk, when I’d sacrificed everything to protect him?! My nostrils flared, I didn’t want to speak up, but I couldn’t help it.

“Who the fuck do you think you all are?!” I blurted out, flippantly.

“Look, I’m trying to be reasonable, grateful even, that you’ve all banded together to do...whatever this is.” I flung my hands towards the many documents and graphs displayed on the wall.

“It doesn’t matter how or why it started, I’ve made my decision, I will stay away to protect him. I have to. It’s the only way!” I yelled.

“The fact is, I can’t control this, I can’t... I can’t... Be with him...” My fury ebbed, quickly replaced by sadness.

“Jamie boy...”

“James, we...”

“We do... Want to help.”

“We’re all here for you. But...”

“We want to fix thi—”

“You’re a selfish prick,” Billy spoke above the others.

Tears stung my eyes hearing the venom in his voice. I’d hurt him, probably more than I’d hurt myself, I knew it in my dark pit, and I knew it now, but the reality was far worse than anything I could have imagined.

“You never came back, never even said goodbye. You never even asked what I wanted, never...you just...you fucking gave up on us,” he cried out, before crossing his arms and sighing, dejectedly.

Selena, scanning the room, wanted to try and regain control.

“I understand there’s a lot of emotions. I’m the first to admit, it’s an area where I lack understanding and maturity. The summit... Changed everything, for all of us, I think. You, the people in this room, you’ve all proven there’s so much more we can do. This is a problem, yes. We need to figure out a real solution. But we’ll only be able to do that together,” she spoke with passion, then addressed me directly.

“James, even I can see it, and I’m the most emotionally dense one here. You’ve been idiotic. We’re all here, even Bartholomew who’s the least human of all. Even he can see you’re wrong to face this on your own, to not even try, not even ask us to support... You owe Billy one hell of an apology, and I wouldn’t blame him if he didn’t accept it. Hmm,” she scolded.

Everyone looked at each other, shrugging and nodding in agreement.

This was suddenly feeling a lot like an intervention, it may have been cliché, but it was working. It forced me to look at Billy’s...well, everyone else’s perspective. I had been selfish, a martyr, a defeatist.

I looked back over at Billy.

“I’m...they’re all right. You’re right. Sorry isn’t enough, but I am, truly, I thought I was protecting you, but I think I just couldn’t face any of this. I shut down. I...” I sighed, words failed me.

“...I think... We’ll get this sorted, and you can do much more than whatever that was to earn Billy’s forgiveness,” Catherine remarked, visibly disappointed in me.

It dawned on me I’d owe everyone an apology, I was wrong to snap at them, and wrong to shut myself away.

“How do I...sorry, we, how do we fix this?” I asked, after letting everyone’s words sink in.

“Zachary?” Selena raised her hand to him.

“We think you need to learn to control your new abilities, rather than avoid them. We think... You should be with Billy, here for the time being, we can all interject, pull you apart if we need to, limit the effects if we can. There’s no knowing what the limit is, for my previous form it was 55 feet, for Billy, it could be much less... Or more... But we all know a human body can only take so much, we all understand Billy’s life is at risk. Brave Billy over there was adamant about seeing this through, even if he is pissed,” Zachary mused. Michael nodded, and explained their plan.

“I think, we all know our parts to play in this, we’re drawing on all our expertise, Bartholomew’s going to make sure Billy can handle the increases, work with Catherine to try to boost what they can to keep him healthy. Selena’s going to keep running simulations and try to identify the cause of all this. I’m gonna teach you everything I can about the EEB, take you to the threads and run an audit on your strand to see if there’s anything we missed. And Zachary... Erm... Well... Zach—” Michael hesitated, words suddenly failing him.

“We’re probably gonna have sex together, a lot. I can’t wait.” He grinned, staring at Billy like he was a piece of meat. He kicked his lips.

“Er... I guess there were other ways to say it... But yeah... Zachary will be with you in any way you need when you guys get more... Intimate, which might be a ways off yet. But the theory is, worst case scenario, Zachary can jump in to take the brunt of your powers, basically like a meat shield you can blow up if you need to,” Michael added.

“Between us, we’ll do what we can, I’m sorry I can’t be of more use, we primarily work with souls. It’s very... Different. I could tell you about the hassaratha ssessndeke maaathsaaale eeeeeeksosoa—” Bartholomew spoke in otherworldly terms, its mouth twisting and warping as it spoke. It was truly horrifying. It finished its explanation, if that’s what you could call it. And looked around, confused by the terror in everyone.

“Is....what? Is there something in my teeth?” Bartholomew opened its mouth, a shrieking wisp flew out. It darted about, and flew through the wall.

“That’s where you were hiding!” Bartholomew rose into the air, swooping around, and followed suit, phasing through the wall after the wisp.

We all sat there, completely stunned. Minutes passed.

Zachary looked over at me... I couldn’t help it, the absurdity of Bartholomew was just... Hilarious.

I burst out laughing, we all did. It broke the tension, for the first time in weeks, I felt hopeful. I looked over at Billy, our eyes meeting for the first time. He dismissively looked away to Micheal.

I had a lot of work ahead of me, but I knew what I needed to do first.

After we all got the giggles out of the way, the group broke off into smaller conversations. I looked back over to Billy, he was already on his feet. He kept his eyes at his feet and walked out of the room without saying a word to anyone. My guilt surged, before I could act, Zachary placed a meaty hand on my shoulder.

“Give him a sec,” he hushed.

Catherine got up and walked over to me, she pulled at my other shoulder.

“C’mon, we should talk,” she said flatly.

She took us to another room, sat me down, and leaned against a wall opposite me, crossing her arms.

“When I heard what happened, like everyone, I couldn’t believe it,” she started.

“I didn’t know what w—” I tried.

“Let me speak.” She shook her head.

“Not that. Not the strange power. You, giving up. There’s a reason you were always my right hand man, my belief in you is absolute. You have never given up on anything. For you to give up on this? I... I’m trying to understand, to be fair to you, I can’t imagine the pain you must have felt to act like this... But, I also know you, what you’re capable of, and I know you know me, why didn’t you come to me? I could have at least talked you off the ledge.” She looked down to the floor, dejectedly.

“Strange shit has been happening for fucking ever at this point, RR? The summit? Everything. This was just another bump in the road, we could have faced this together, but you shut everyone out, me included. I visited you once, it’s like you didn’t even recognise I was there. It broke me seeing you like that. It’s upset everyone, even Selena and Bartholomew. We have plenty of reasons to want to figure this out, it could happen to more colleagues... We don’t know, but at or near the top of everyone’s list of priorities, is you,” she finished.

We let her speech sit in the air for a while.

“I... I just didn’t realise... I didn’t think about what I was doing and how it would affect everyone else, I thought about Billy a lot, I felt so guilty about the choice I’d made but... Please, cut me some slack Catherine, if you were in my shoes, saw what I’d done to Zachary and would likely do to the man I loved... Wouldn’t you walk the same path? If it were Michael and Scott... Michael would do anything for Scott... To protect him, he literally changed the fate of everyone to protect him... I’m only doing the same,” I replied, I understood perfectly what Catherine and the others were saying, but I also felt a little defensive, I’d acted with integrity, and I genuinely felt this was the best option.

“You’re right, look, there’s no wrong or right side to this, but... The difference is, against impossible odds? Michael didn’t quit. Or make a decision to avoid, be passive, and hope the issue would go away on its own. He fought for their right to be together. You didn’t, you did start off trying—I know that, Zachary told me all about you in his pocket void, in graphic detail. But after? You just...stopped,” she mused.

“But... Anyway, I’ve said my piece, and I’m sorry if I’ve given you a hard time on this but, you’ve just surprised me I guess. I know you’re vulnerable, and I’m obviously going to do everything I can for you both. I’ve spent a lot of time with Billy the last few weeks. I see what you see in him. I get it.” She smiled.

“Yeah... Catherine, what the fuck am I gonna do about Billy, I’ve never seen him like this, even his earlier years when I was researching him, he’d never acted with such anger...” I shook my head.

“Just tell the truth, tell him you love him, tell him you’re sorry, and act. Get this bullshit power under control, for him... you... all of us.” She nodded at me, she always knew what to say. She was right, I should have come straight to her after Zachary, I shouldn’t have given up.

“He’s just through there.” She pointed at another door.

I took a deep breath, and marched. Everyone’s faith and kindness gave me a sense of renewed vigour, I didn’t have to act alone, I never did. I’d make Billy see that I knew I was wrong, I’d show him how much I loved him.

The door opened onto a balcony, the cool evening air brushed against my skin. Billy was leaning against the railing, staring into the moon.

“Is this real?” he asked, not looking away from the moon.

“Kind of,” I replied.

“It’s actually a giant ball of glass, basically, it’s showing a perfect reflection of the moon, to scale,” I added.

“Huh... That’s pretty cool,” he mused.

He slowly turned to me, his eyes devoid of light. He looked tired.

“Why?” he asked, simply.

I thought for a moment, I could make a big grand speech about how I did it to protect him, how I was the hero. But the truth was, I saw the road ahead, felt it was too impossible, and gave up without really trying. I picked the easy option, because I was too scared of the ramifications of failings, of seeing Billy hurt, or worse.

“I failed you, us,” I started, frowning.

“Saying it was to protect you... It is true, but I see how it was also really selfish. I’m not just going to say I’m sorry, I’m going to show you. I’ll do everything to prove I love you, and that I’m sorry,” I sighed. It wasn’t enough, it was barely anything, but hopefully, it was a start.

He sighed too.

“I...” he started.

“I love you, I think if the tables were turned... I’d probably have done the same thing if it meant you would be safe,” he mused, scratching his elbow.

“I just... I was so helpless, it had been a month by the time Michael finally agreed to bring me here. I think it was Scott who finally convinced him, and that was probably just because he was fed up of all the calls, texts, visits... All the ideas and conspiracies I had.” He let out a chuckle at his own behaviour, shaking his head.

“I think I was more oppressive than Selena” he scoffed. We fell silent for a couple of minutes.

“I don’t think I’m even really angry, just... Heartbroken, I understand why you did what you did, probably more than most, and I don’t wanna be mad... Feel like this... I just want you back. I want us... I’d planned dates for us... A life... I was grieving, I think.” His deep voice cracked and wavered as he spoke.

All I wanted at that moment was to go to him and hug as much of him as possible. Like magnets, we drew each other in, he scooped me up into his embrace. We stayed like that for a while.

Eventually. He placed me back down.

“I... Really do know what’s at stake, I heard how big Zachary got the first time and was like... Yeah I dunno about that. But when they spoke about what they had planned, I just felt like, well if they can do all that, then I can do this. Y’know?” he asked.

“Yeah. I feel completely the same way, well, now,” I added, I couldn’t help what I said next, a cheeky thought had entered my mind and it squeezed through my filter before I could stop.

“I’m really good at timing a month in human time, aren’t I?” I joked. Damn... Too soon.

Billy laughed out in surprise. “You really are a prick!” he mocked.

Hearing Billy laugh was like medicine, I’d do everything to make this work, no more wallowing.

The days that followed were rough, emotionally, mentally, and physically.

I’d had enough heartfelt chats and speeches about not giving up and the power of friendship to last a few lifetimes in the days that followed.

Selena put me through countless simulations. I had to beg her to tone them down, her hyper-realistic exploding humans were way too much, at least they looked nothing like Billy, but still, this girl had no chill. She’d insisted it was realistic—”that’s exactly how this could go if you don’t learn to control it!”—She’d say. The images haunted me in my dreams, I ended up asking Bartholomew and Michael if they could alter the memories. They looked horrified when I told them what Selena had put me through. They happily obliged, they removed the memories of the blood and gore entirely and forced a slightly sadistic Selena to see reason.

Michael took me to every single human visit he had in his current roster. It was great to see such a huge array of humans from all walks of life around the world. It was a delight to see their different desires manifesting, some became beautiful, stronger, bigger, smaller, taller. Others became what they felt inside, some just needed to accept themselves, some needed confidence, more intelligence, less boob—that one was a surprise, really chronic back pain and unwanted attention apparently, I did wonder why no surgery at first... It was a native tribe, no access to modern medicine. With each visit, Michael would tell me what he was doing and why, he showed me the abilities he was using, it made so much more sense now! It made me excited about the future, I was renewed with passion for finding more humans we could encourage to come off their paths. I looked back on my time being assigned to Billy. Knowing what I know now, in hindsight, there were probably some things I should have done differently.

Catherine and Bartholomew tracked Billy, they created a space for him to work out, and kept a close eye on his vitals... Blood... Organ performance... DNA... Soul stability, something about a “Worffladlenqaah”—no idea if I’d heard that right, but Bartholomew assured me it was important.

Meanwhile, Billy and I had started dating, he took me on the dates he’d planned for us. Zachary was our chaperone. At first we didn’t need him, but as we got closer and rekindled our love, things started to get a little dicey.

Things were going well on tonight’s date, nothing crazy, just some casual drinks at an outdoor bar Billy picked out that he thought I’d like. After a few cocktails, we were a little tipsy, and shared a risky kiss.

Without any itchy warning, my hands instantly began to crackle. Zachary’s stature would convince anyone he would be slow to start, but he powerfully jumped into action instantly, with fantastic speed and skill. He rugby tackled Billy away from harm, they jogged a good distance away together. Onlookers peered at the display in confusion and awe at seeing these two enormous men who appeared to be roughhousing. I sighed to myself in frustration as I stared at my glowing, purple hands. I looked back over at Billy, who hadn’t been affected or grown, I could see his shoulders slump, Zachary hugged him, rubbing a hand up and down his broad back. Zachary was the only person who could still make Billy look and feel small now, being over a foot taller than him. It was a difficult trip back to my place, emotions ran high.

Zachary consoled me once we got home. Billy had gone outside for some air. It seemed he was still processing things. I hoped he wasn’t kicking himself. We’d both gone in for the kiss. Zachary pointed out on the one hand, the romance and danger was definitely back, on the other, it meant we could move onto the next phase.

Zachary tried to hide his delight, the prospect of having sex always excited him, but I think he found Billy irresistible, he wasn’t alone of course. I’d wondered if I would be okay sharing Billy at first and opening things up in our budding relationship, but with Zachary around so much as our ever-reliant and caring protector, the thought of him not being there in our more intimate moments now seemed wrong somehow.

“You good?” Zachary asked, my eyes refocused on his face, I’d been staring at his cleavage as I ruminated on what was to come.

“Yeah... Yes, sorry, I was just thinking about what’s next, I’m really grateful we have you, I know it’s obvious you’re looking forward to it, even with the risks. I think out of everything, you being here is the main thing that’s making me feel like things are gonna be okay,” I mused.

For the first time ever, I saw Zachary blush. His mouth formed words, but his mind lagged behind.

“I... At first. I couldn’t wait for this, it was another job for me, a pretty weird job but sex is sex, I’m really, really good at it,” he began.

“This is... I don’t really catch feelings, it’s normally a one or two night stand and then, off I go onto the next. Spending time with you guys, the love you share... I think the last few days I’ve been feeling it too.” His face reddened even more. This was so cute! Was he falling for Billy too? I recalled the times I’d observed them together, the way they would both belly laugh at each other’s awful jokes. The passion they both had for working out and the hours they would spend talking about various lifts and techniques. I smiled to myself waiting for Zachary’s confession, I did wonder if I would have to compete for Billy’s love with him around!

“Billy is amazing,” I started, “and being around you, you’ve changed my outlook on sex and monogamy and stuff. Before we met I fully believed that couples should stay together and not look outward for pleasure but now... Yeah I think it can be really beautiful, if everyone’s on board that is.” I was subtle in mentioning Billy, but hoped it was enough to encourage Zachary further to admit he liked him. It was odd. I expected to feel jealousy but it was pride I felt. I wanted Zachary to like Billy, to see what I saw in him.

Zachary seemed to appreciate what I said, but his brow furrowed.

“That’s... really cool,” he added.

Hmm, that’s not what I expected, was I missing something?

“You okay Zach?” I asked. I’d never known if Zachary was actually a Zach, but taking it for a spin seemed right at this moment.

He sighed. And his eyes pierced into mine.

“I think you’re assuming I like Billy, don’t get me wrong, he’s crazy hot, I definitely like him. But, I’m actually... Well, I think I’m falling for you, James.” His intense stare bored into me. This was certainly not what I expected.

It was my turn for my mouth to form words while my brain short-circuited. Zachary chuckled, breaking the tension.

“It’s all right, don’t panic, I’m not expecting anything, it’s clear you’ll always be with Billy, your relationship is literally something we all believe in so much that we’re all fighting to protect it. Obviously I wouldn’t stand in the way of that! And, I just, yeah... I just wanted you to know how I felt, I guess.” He smiled and nodded at himself, satisfied.

“I had no idea Zach, I just, I. Yeah, I thought you were just looking forward to sex with a human and me being in the mix I guess? I’ve definitely grown closer to you too, for sure. I don’t think I feel the same way but, there’s just something that feels right about you being part of my- no, our lives, I know Billy feels the same way too. But, that’s a really big...like, thing. Can we keep talking about this, and I dunno, just see how things go?” I asked. I hoped I wasn’t letting him down, and I didn’t want to string him along.

He shook his head slightly, grinning.

“You look worried, honestly, I’m fine, I know I’m not one to normally be so serious, but now your face is kinda making me laugh,” he chuckled.

“Anyway... Yeah totally, we gotta focus on getting you and those hands under control first you horny bastard!” He slapped my shoulder and we laughed.

Billy returned to the living room, I’d made us some tea in the hope we could all relax. It had sat stewing this whole time, I’d kind of forgotten about it, I looked around the room and at Billy, I’d made sure to have furniture that could accommodate all these huge men in the group. Me and Zachary had been sitting next to each other on the couch, huddled up together.

“How are you?” I asked Billy, but he didn’t reply. He was breathing rather heavily. I thought maybe he’d been for a run or something. He stared intensely at me, and then at Zachary, and slowly made his way over to us.

At first, I couldn’t place what I was feeling, but looking at him, the feelings I’d been trying to avoid came flooding back. Billy was something out of my deepest desires. His body was perfect. In this dimly lit room, he looked imposing, powerful, and masculine. I looked over to Zachary, who was staring intently at me. He was also irresistible, a literal giant of a man who had just confessed some pretty serious feelings for me.

I had two beasts who wanted me, craved me, wanted to please me... I was horny. Sexual tension was rising. I looked back over at Billy, who was licking his lips, his eyes darting between me and Zachary. I wanted to keep a level head, this was really, really dangerous, but I couldn’t escape the growing lust within me. Zachary snickered slightly, he’d obviously caught on much sooner than I had on what was happening. He leaned over, nibbled my ear and whispered.

“It’s okay, I’ve got us, we’re safe. No matter what,” he purred.

That was all it took, the dam burst and I felt myself give in and met Zachary’s face. We began making out. Billy moved to my other side and began massaging us both. He began planting kisses down my left side, starting at my neck and working his way down my arm. He placed his meaty paw on my hip. I turned to him and made out with him next, Zachary expertly removed his clothes, his prodigious dick bounding into view.

I came up for air and Billy undressed, Zachary and Billy leaned over me and began making out and stroked their turgid manhoods. It was a tantalising sight, these two mountainous men squashed me between them without even really meaning to. I looked down at my legs. They were hilariously dwarfed by the long, thick tree trunk thighs on either side of my diminutive legs. My own dick fought against the zipper of my jeans. I wanted to get naked too, but my arms were completely pinned down to my sides by these two giants.

Billy was huge at 7’9... But Zachary was outright enormous, he was 9’1, dwarfing even Billy. I once again admired his new form we’d enjoyed over the last few weeks. I realised I would be sad to see it become larger than life, forcing him into yet another version of himself. I was thankful for his little workaround, but I didn’t want him to lose this sense of self. I thought I felt my hands itch, and then a purple light began to light up the room, which caused me to panic.

I looked down for my hands but they were trapped by the behemoth bodies making out in front of me, just as I was about to call out in panic, I realised it was Zachary that had started glowing. It wasn’t me, it was him. His light wasn’t blinding. I could still make his body out despite the light. He shifted and changed; if anything, he became even more muscular, hair and freckles sprouted all over his body. His hair became longer and shaggy, his beard grew in. The purple faded revealing that all his hair had burned to a deep auburn. His face became almost unrecognisable, but he still kept his eyes.

These titans finally stopped making out, and pulled back, Zachary smirked.

“Just changing things up to keep my form safe from this one.” He winked and nodded down at me, reassuring Billy who was slightly confused by the changes.

Billy flashed with an understanding smile. Then, they both smirked, looking down at me like a prize to fight over. I was delighted and slightly terrified by what they might do to me.

Their meaty paws slapped onto my upper and lower body, they grabbed at my clothes and tore everything clean away from me. My dick sprang free, pre whipped out like a lasso—realistically I would have no hope of capturing either of these bulls, but thankfully I wouldn’t have to try. I felt oddly powerful having these two beasts of masculinity and muscle pawing over me.

We melded into one, kissing, touching, grabbing, licking, and stroking everything we could reach. I could reach significantly less, which I found oddly frustrating, mainly because I really, really wanted to feel every fibre of mind-blowing muscle I could see. Zachary in particular made things impossible. His long, thunderously large legs far surpassed my grasp, my feet barely made it past his knees.

We shifted positions, Zachary turned left and arched his long leg over me, effortlessly pushing me forward as his leg settled behind me. His other leg stopped me from falling off the couch. He turned me to face his massive dick. The pre glistened in the dimly lit room. I couldn’t wait to wrap my lips around his length. Billy also positioned himself behind me, his steel girder poking into my lower back. He shoved it further down, impatiently jabbing at me with his slicked cock to grant him entry to my hole.

I happily obliged of course. I got onto my knees and lent down, taking Zachary’s length down my throat as Billy pushed into my hole. Billy’s 15.5 inches slid right in, but I couldn’t quite manage all of Zachary’s 19 thick inches, even with all the magic at play, their lengths were simply too long and my body too short. But I made the best of it, we all did. Being spit-roasted by these two giant men was something I would never have dreamed of, but now that it was happening, I wasn’t sure I ever wanted it to end.

My hands burned and itched with lust, the doomed light finally making an abrupt appearance. I cursed internally, the panic causing me to splutter on Zachary’s length. He grabbed my hands, placing them in his firmly, I just hoped we’d been right about our plans, and only Zachary would grow.

Sure enough, Zachary started to expand, slowly at first thankfully, giving the two of us a chance to readjust. At first, Billy tried to pull away, but Zachary intercepted him, hooking the small of his back with one of his lengthening meaty feet.

“Don’t stop, we’ve got this, don’t stop this is so fucking hot!” Zachary cried out.

His dick plopped out of my mouth, I was no longer able to wrap my enhanced throat around him, he’d become too large now approaching around 15 feet in height.

Billy continued his assault on my ass, he was clearly enjoying the show. Part of me wanted to beg him to leave, but lust won out, I never wanted him to stop drilling me. The growth was fully focused on Zachary. We both stared at his continually increasing frame. His muscles packed on more and more mass, his body stretched out in all directions. More and more size piled onto him. Zachary surpassed 25 feet, with no signs of the purple power slowing down any time soon. I kneaded the oversized muscles that I could still reach, they felt like warm concrete, Zachary grinned down at me and flexed, earning a few spurts of pre from me.

Despite the impossible differences in size now, Zachary had continued to keep my hands in his grasp. I felt my hands hiss with heat, they were fully engulfed by Zachary’s titanic fingers, but the surprising, burning heat caused him to briefly lose grip on my hands. The light poured out and I felt Billy expand behind me. His whole stature pressed into me a little more. His dick reached in just a little further. Zachary tightened his grip just as quickly as he had let go. I felt Billy stop growing.

Shit.

Instead of freaking out, I decided to go with it. This is why we were doing this, I needed to control it. I couldn’t deny this was tapping into some deep fantasy I didn’t know existed, part of me wanted them both to keep growing, but luckily, my love for Billy prevented me from letting any intrusive thoughts win out. I focused back on the expanding fortress of brawn in front of me, I tried to really focus on the sensation in my hands, and imagined the light sinking into Zachary’s body. This seemed to do something.

Zachary had steadily gotten bigger and bigger, but within a few seconds of focusing the light, he surged in size, doubling in height and tripling his weight nearly instantaneously. The sheer impact of that much size coming from nowhere was enough to send me and Billy flying. My entire home exploded, shards of my furniture, bricks and mortar, flew out in all directions before transforming into golden, glittery sand—becoming completely harmless.

My hands were now exposed, the shards of light all pointed at the hills and valleys of Zachary’s enormous form. I redoubled my efforts. I wasn’t sure why, but I wanted to push further. Billy retreated away, but began furiously jacking off at the display of this enormous titan as he surged in all directions once again. Zachary’s temporary form seemed to have more of a limit than the last one I grew, or, more likely, my power had grown stronger.

For the first time since the initial accident, I started to enjoy my power, and pushed my light into him again, earning another surge.

Zachary was unable to move and lay down on his back, the rapidly surging power exploding within him was completely discombobulating. He had to be 100 feet now. I stopped pushing, allowing Zachary a chance to slowly lift himself up, up, way up, onto his knees and then finally onto his feet. He was so tall I couldn’t see his head. There was too much mass in the way, even if he moved his impossibly large manhood. His overgrown pecs jutted out by several feet, completely blocking the view of his face.

I wasn’t sure, but I think I was nearing the limits again, so I decided on one final push. I focused all my might, mind, and matter on making Zachary as big as I possibly could. At first, nothing happened, but then the light blasted out of my hands in one huge, purple blast that shot into Zachary.

He once again surged out and up alarmingly fast, tripling his height within seconds. With that, my power was spent.

I heard moaning behind me, and then felt Billy’s cum splashing by my feet, he was a good 20 or something yards away. I turned to him, impressed.

Billy looked up, and up, and up. I felt a tremor behind me and turned back to Zachary, he had taken a big step back so he could peer over and down to look at us. To him, we couldn’t have been any bigger than a couple of ants. Zachary’s form was completely bloated with incomprehensible power, muscle, and size. Not only had he grown taller, he was also wider, if he was still near our height I suspected he would be twice as wide as Billy now.

I inspected my handiwork, all I wanted to do next was explore Zachary’s titanic form.

I checked my hands over for any signs of light, and then walked over to Billy. He was definitely taller than he had been, but seemed to be okay. If anything, he just looked even sexier with more brawn packed onto him. My dick sprang back into action and for a moment, I thought my powers would start up again, but it seemed for now they were completely spent. Knowing we were safe, we began jerking off at the incredible sights before us.

Zachary began to flex, hitting a few poses for us as best as he could—with so much muscle packed onto his frame, even at his size, it was verging on being too much. His mobility was restricted by impossibly dense muscles fighting for space. Zachary’s dick rapidly expanded as he flexed, it loomed over us, completely blotting out the light above. If I had to guess, it must have been at least 50 feet long. He rotated around a little so we could see him again and joined in with our mutual jerk off session. It was incredible. I tried to shout up to Zachary, hoping he could hear us. I wanted us to be able to climb him, or at least be closer to him.

Billy also shouted and together, I think we were just about loud enough for Zachary to hear, he bent down on one knee slowly, not wishing to cause us any harm, and then slowly lowered his hand down to our feet. The fact this huge, meaty, solid mass was a hand was mind boggling. As we climbed up and walked into the centre of his palm, I found it difficult to fathom just how big his hand was, it seemed like the room we were in only minutes before could have easily fit in his hand.

Zachary slowly began to raise his hand up, with his other hand, he motioned as if to say “where to first?” he was beaming with pride at his enormity. Billy and I looked at each other, and knew instantly, we wanted to explore the mountain ranges that were his pecs. We pointed at his chest and Zachary grinned. He raised his hand to the top of his left pec. He held his hand there patiently waiting for me to make my way onto his colossal chest. I landed, and he moved to his other pec to drop Billy off.

We both immediately collapsed, humping the brawny surface as though our lives depended on it. I couldn’t believe I was basically rubbing my dick against a pillowy pec that outscaled me so much that I couldn’t even see most of it. The feeling of his body was inviting, thrilling, and slightly terrifying. There was plenty of fur to grab onto, the individual strands felt thick in my hands. I felt movement as what was currently the equivalent of land began to shift. I realised Zachary was slowly, with great control and restraint, flexing his pec. If he wanted to, he could give his pecs a quick bounce and send us both flying. He began rhythmically rolling his pectorals as we humped against his chest. It was like trying to fuck a giant marble slab.

He knew exactly what he was doing, we were all gluttons for muscle and this was beyond our greatest fantasies, he was clearly enjoying this just as much as we were. After a couple more minutes, he collected us, and placed us both on his bicep.

The sensations were familiar, albeit his bicep seemed to be much firmer unflexed compared to his pecs. I marvelled at the snakelike veins that travelled into the distance. I’d straddled the thickest one, and estimated it to be maybe two or three feet thick. Billy was making out with the mass of brawn beneath us. We suddenly rose high up by several feet, Zachary had flexed his astronomical arm. It launched us into the air, it was exhilarating and also quite terrifying, but we landed safely. We couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of Zachary’s power. Zachary was looking over to us, smirking. I could feel a rumble in the air and suspected it was quiet laughter coming from him, it was too deep to hear. I spent a few minutes jerking my dick and rubbing it all along the surface of his gargantuan bicep.

He then moved us behind and into his ass crack, the veritable jungle of hair gave us plenty of purchase. The heat, smell, and sensations were overwhelmingly intoxicating. The hard mass of his tremendous glutes were astonishing, again he flexed after a while, carefully so as not to crush us, but we collided together all the same into darkness. He held us there for a few seconds before releasing. Billy came shortly after, I realised I wasn’t sure anymore if I had cum at all, or just not stopped cumming this entire time. Whenever I could pry my eyes away from Zachary’s body, my dick was either oozing or shooting. The sheer bliss of this exploration rendered me unable to distinguish how aroused I was. Whatever I was feeling, I didn’t ever want it to end.

We spent a few more minutes in the crevice of Zachary’s globular titanic ass, before his coach-like hand once again came to collect us. He moved us up to the tip top of his monumental manhood. Being 50 feet away from his body, we could appreciate more of Zachary’s enormity, he performed the biggest most muscular pose, literally. It almost looked like his muscles doubled in size from the flexing alone. Billy came once again. I realised how slippery the surface we were standing on was. Zachary’s cock was slick with pre, the sheer amount of it came up to my ankles.

In a moment of playfulness, I grabbed onto Billy and pulled us down. We slid down Zachary’s log like it was a waterslide, it was exhilarating, sexy, and frankly absurd. Once we reached his pubes, the smell overwhelmed us, we coated his skin in cum. I didn’t know how we were both able to keep going. I had to put it down to an intense state of arousal, adrenaline, and peak performing balls. Zachary reached down to pluck us from his fiery red pubes.

The last stop was his impossibly monstrous thigh. He had remained kneeling on one knee the whole time, not wanting to risk anything. His thighs were similar to his arms in terms of density, just, far more broad and expansive. We lay there for a long while just enjoying the sensations of his rippling muscles beneath us.

After a time, we got up and made our way towards his knee, wanting to get a good vantage point for the upcoming finale.

It was time for him to really show off now. He began to flex everything he could, one arm fervently stroked his endless length, which due to how aroused he had become, must have been somewhere around 60 feet or so. He rested an imposing, titanic forearm on his thigh, periodically flexing his arms for us as he jerked off. He’d alternate between this and flexing his boulderous pecs. We once again started jerking along with him, and steadily built to yet another countless climax.

We all came within a couple of minutes. Zachary’s cum was so violently strong that I suspected if we were on earth, it would break the sound barrier.

When we came back down from the dizzying heights, both figurative and literal, I realised something we’d forgotten, Zachary made this temporary form to protect what we now saw as his true form, but last time, growing one form seemed to apply to all the others. I grimaced at the realisation as I watched Zachary’s purple light engulf him.

The light safely lowered us to the ground as Zachary’s form shifted and shrank. I was filled with anxiety over who or what would greet us once we landed. When the purple brilliance faded, I was already preparing my apology.

To my surprise, it was Zachary, our Zach.

“What’s wrong?” he said as he caught his breath and saw the confusion on my face.

“Why isn’t... Why aren’t you huge like this? Like all the other versions of you?” I asked.

Zachary’s eyes flashed as he recalled our discoveries.

“Oh damn you’re right! Fuck, I thought I was so slick when I changed into some other being... Yeah, I should be as huge as that ginger beast I became. What gives?” He scratched his chin, perplexed.

“Uh. Well, guys I know I probably know the least but, James it seemed like you were really in control of the power, moreso at the end but, well, didn’t you notice what happened on the couch?” Billy asked me.

“Notice what?” I replied.

“I didn’t wanna say anything, but I saw the light in your hands a couple of times, just briefly, but it was definitely there, and one of the times I don’t even think it was purple, it looked more like blue. It happened just before Zachary turned into the ginger dude,” Billy stated.

“Blue? That’s normally the colour for stasis, like, keeping all things as they are,” Zachary mused.

“I think Billy is right, I think you’re getting more control, or maybe even more powers, that are helping you keep things in check, can you remember what you were thinking at that moment?” Zachary looked at me intently.

“I... Yes, actually. I was thinking how much you suit looking like, well, you, and I really felt like I didn’t want it to change. When you then changed I actually assumed you’d just read my mind and swapped to something temporary,” I replied.

“That’s gotta be it, this is so good! Maybe next time we can hone in on that feeling again but on Billy this time, maybe that’ll be how we fix this problem for good!” Zachary exclaimed exuberantly.

I snapped my fingers, the golden sand flitted and shimmered. It swirled and danced in the moonlight, my home began to reform around us. Within a couple of minutes, we were once again sat around in the living room, enjoying some freshly made tea.

“Stopping time is a basic ability, all bureaus have that one, it’s kind of the norm, but did you know it’s blue?” Zachary asked me.

“Well, no, how do you know?” I asked back.

“I guess we work in a lot of dimly lit spaces,” he chuckled.

“It’s really faint, almost impossible to tell, but it’s definitely there and it’s definitely blue, so that’s my hunch on this new thing you managed to do to stop me growing, well...this me, you know what I mean!” Zachary gestured to himself and waved his hands as he tried to explain. This whole thing was a bit hard to follow, I hoped Billy was okay with all this weirdness.

Shit! Billy!

“Billy! Fuck me I’m sorry I was so caught up I completely forgot you grew too!” I blurted out.

“I already did fuck you!” He grinned at his own joke.

“It’s fine, I don’t feel much different, stronger I guess? But I’m good, to be honest the whole thing, Zachary growing... Me getting a hit too... Fucking you and... Yeah just watching all that... How... giant everything was... I once I had a dream that was a bit like that, I woke up covered in cum but I guess I just forgot about it until that dream literally became real before my eyes. It was so hot...” Billy stared into space as he recalled what happened. I could see him shift his bigger, more adamant equipment in an attempt to remain modest.

While I was happy to see Billy living out a deep fantasy I obviously shared, I was still worried, I’d gone from horny, to fueled by lust, to scared, back to horny, and then brave, and scared, and then... Everything all at once. I now wasn’t actually sure what to think, but what frightened me most was when Billy grew, deep down, I really, really didn’t want it to stop.

“We should measure you again, and report back to Catherine and Bartholomew, they’ll probably want to check everything is still okay,” I stated clinically.

“Sir yes sir!” Billy mocked my desire to be efficient, earning a chortle from Zachary.

The three of us delighted in measuring Billy, Zachary took the top half whilst I covered the bottom. I took great pride around Billy’s monstrous legs, his ass created such a shelf now that I contemplated seeing if I could find some books to rest on top. I also contemplated shoving my face between the cheeks and staying there forever, but thankfully, my head won the fight against my other head. I realised standing up close to him now that he was truly wide in all directions. I wasn’t sure Billy could still be classed as human, he’d properly crossed into giant territory now, which seemed to fit him better.

Height: 7’9 → 8’3
Weight: 469lbs → 543lbs
Arms: 27 inches → 29 inches
Chest: 62 inches → 68 inches
Waist: 37 inches → 38.5 inches
Quads: 44 inches → 48 inches
Shoe size: 18 → 20
Length: 15.5 inches → 17 inches
Girth: 10 inches → 11 inches

I was a little saddened by the measurements, I’d allowed my lust and my desires to take over... this was Billy’s life at stake, not just in terms of him surviving but also existing in a world not built for someone his size. The tallest ever human was 8’11, so I guess in theory, Billy could still lead a relatively normal, albeit uncomfortable life. Guilt flooded in, I tried my best to hide it.

Billy grabbed my shoulder and squeezed delicately... How did he already know me so well that he could see through my façade?

“At this rate you’ll end up taller than me!” Zachary announced, not aware of our non-verbal communication.

“Yeah... To be fair James is right, we should get back to the others, it’s one thing feeling fine but seeing my measurements does put things into perspective, I dunno how much... More? I can safely be?” Billy was laser-focused on me, he smiled reassuringly.

With that, we flashed back to the bureau, Scott was the first to greet us, it was odd to say that Scott looked small, but next to these two behemoths, he did look like the runt. I obviously had no room to talk. I was spending more and more of my time looking head on into asses, dicks and thighs as these impossibly big men creeped up bigger and bigger. I also wasn’t going to complain at the sights, though I was noticing more aches in my neck from looking so far up at these enormous beasts.

“He’s...bigger but, not too much? Is it good news? Have you figured out how to control things?” he asked, inspecting Billy.

“We’ve got a really good lead! Let’s call everyone in for a meeting,” Zachary beamed.

We spent the next couple of days scouring the archives for blue light and stasis related powers. What Zachary had said turned out to be bang on the money, blue light was emitted whenever bureau colleagues manipulated time. Because it was such a widespread ability available to all bureaus, all colleagues could wield this power without so much as a blip of light. The fact it was blue had long since been forgotten.

The directors were thrilled by the rediscovery, and had uncovered more about stasis as a result. As theorised, I had used some sort of stasis power on Zachary’s form, which prevented him from getting any bigger. I just needed to find a way to use it on Billy.

“I know it’s risky but... I think it’s the best way.” Zachary was more serious than I’d ever seen him.

“I agree, James is nearly there now, the simulations show he’s getting control of these abilities. Hmm,” Selena added.

“I just wanna say thanks to everyone, it feels like we’re near the end of this thing!” Billy excitedly exclaimed.

I wasn’t sure I could believe what everyone was suggesting. Me and Billy alone? The guardrails Zachary provided, removed? How could this be the answer?

“You can’t be serious?” My voice cracked as I asked.

“I know it’s risky, but the data doesn’t lie, in all the simulations we’ve done over the last couple of days, when you’re alone with Billy, there’s 70% chance you’ll completely master your powers and not grow Billy any further. Hmm.” Selena, in her own analytical way, was doing her best to be reassuring.

“We’ll set you guys up in a room here, the first sign anything is going wrong, we will intervene,” Catherine added.

“We have to try, this is for both of us James... Please...” Billy grabbed my hands and pleaded with me.

I looked into his eyes.

“But...30%...there’s a 30% chance I could fail...” I replied solemnly.

“We can do this,” he said with determination.

Reluctantly, I agreed, everyone got to work. Over the next few days everyone did a great job, the room they built felt just like Billy’s place, it felt safe, familiar. On what felt like the final, fateful night, the team brought me to the room’s entrance. Billy was waiting inside for me. Catherine was the one to greet me in the corridor outside.

“I never thought this is where we’d be right now,” she started.

“I’m so proud of you, I know you’re still worried about what might happen, but that man in there loves you down to your core, I’m jealous of what you have,” she mused.

“I should probably say something like go get em tiger, but it feels a touch trite. Instead, I just want to say I love you, both of you. The whole team are rooting for you, we’re here if you really need us but honestly? I don’t see it playing out like that, I know you’ve got this,” Catherine smiled, calm and collected as ever.

“Did I ever tell you how annoying it is that you’re always calm?” I laughed.

“With your eyes? Constantly,” she retorted. She brought me into a hug and squeezed tightly.

“You know me well, really well, I would be anything but calm about this, but it’s you we’re talking about, why would I worry?” she whispered into my ear.

She pulled away, smiled, and retreated down the corridor.

For the first time in weeks, me and Billy would be alone. I just needed to open that door to our fate.

I opened the door to my hulking boyfriend. We’d come such a long way in a relatively short space of time. Gone was the downtrodden man I met that fateful night. I was his chance encounter, he could have turned me away, but thankfully, he took a chance that changed his whole life. I sometimes wondered if he would have been better off had he decided against trusting me. But seeing him now, smiling gleefully at me, it was hard to imagine any other way this could have played out.

I thought of myself too, and how far I had come, I still felt a little ashamed for giving up and assuming that would be the right thing for us both. But I, too, had come a long way. Most of my simulations now resulted in the targeted humans only growing slightly or not at all. It’s like I could will the power to do what I commanded now. The only time it didn’t quite bend to my will was whenever it was a simulation with Billy. I think it was because I love him so much, so sometimes the power just took over. But I felt confident in this moment that I could keep things under control.

We enjoyed the silence for a few moments.

“It’s just us... To be honest it’s a bit weird!” Billy was the first to speak.

“Yeah... Where’s Zach to break the tension?” I laughed.

“No offence to Zachary... But I am so happy I have you all to myself tonight,” he said in hushed tones.

I hummed, but quickly nodded in agreement. It felt so nice to just be with Billy, and not immediately worry I was going to do something to mess it up, I felt empowered and confident that I could keep things under control, everyone’s efforts had given us this chance, I wouldn’t squander it.

“Wanna just... Chill? For a bit?” Billy asked.

“I would really... Really love that,” I replied.

With that, we settled into our evening. Billy wanted me to watch one of his favourite superhero films, he had paused a couple of times to explain all the different heroes. They all had their backstories, but they had all come together to defeat a great evil. I teased him asking if it was based on our lives, he guffawed, not connecting the dots until I brought it to light.

By the time the credits were rolling, we’d already dipped into foreplay. I couldn’t help it. I’d almost forgotten how completely irresistible I found Billy. Even before all his mammoth size, I found him charming and handsome.

We were already on the bed, which was ideal for me because our size difference was so vast now that even sitting, I had trouble worshipping Billy. We made out for a long while, my hands glided over his shoulders, arms, and chest.

Even without my help, Billy had continued to improve his musculature, he was as committed and obsessed with building muscle as ever. To my utter delight, he’d flex periodically. Power emanated from his muscles, it was thrilling. I stopped kissing him to take a better look at him. His pecs dominated the lower half of my vision, they were sublime. He alternated bouncing each one, and grabbed hold of my hands to knead his chest. Each large pec completely overspilled even Billy’s giant hands, completely mesmerising me.

Seeing him now and all the work he’d put in, it got me thinking about bodybuilders. I realised it would be quite funny to see him compete in a bodybuilding competition, the average height of most competing men was just a few inches taller than me which would put them at about 5’8-5’10. So most men would only reach up to Billy’s midriff. Insane.

When I felt the itching start, I focused hard on what I wanted to happen next. I pulled my hands away from Billy’s as the light began to crack through, a mix of purple and blue. We both looked towards my hands in shared confusion.

“Are you okay? Do you want to stop?” Billy asked in hushed tones.

Deep down, I already knew the issue, but I was too ashamed to admit what I wanted.

The light faded, and I pulled away, I moved off Billy and sat off the side of the bed.

I wasn’t sure what to say, or even how to say it, but to my surprise, Billy seemed to know what to say for me.

“I feel the same way. It’s probably a bad idea,” he started, he moved up behind me and massaged my shoulders and back.

I looked up to him behind me, words were still failing me.

“I’m no expert on all the weird light shows, but I think I’m an expert on you by now, you’re conflicted, aren’t you?” he asked.

I nodded.

He leaned over and nibbled my ear.

“You want me bigger, don’t you?” he whispered in my ear, earning a shudder from me.

I bit my lip and nodded again.

“I do too,” he hushed. He moved his hands down to meet mine.

“Grow me,” he instructed.

It seemed odd to go against what we’d all worked so hard to accomplish, if the team could hear what Billy had just said I’m sure they’d have already rushed in, but the only way to signal them was an alarm over the headboard of the bed, which looking at it now, had a post-it note from Zachary: “Go with your gut, you got this!”

Did Zachary know what we wanted too?

I stood and turned to face Billy, on his knees on the bed he was just about the right height for me to look him in the eyes.

“The first moment it feels like enough, we stop. No exceptions,” I commanded.

Billy nodded in agreement, and pulled me into his embrace.

The light returned, I was proud of myself for the control I now had, working with Selena and Michael had really helped me understand this power, we still had no idea why this had happened, but I no longer feared my newfound abilities, I actually counted myself lucky. From over Billy’s shoulder, I watched as the light submitted to my thoughts, the blue light faded leaving just the purple. I could move each shard of light just by thinking of it. There really wasn’t anything to fear, other than potentially getting carried away. My power had grown in strength, it still had a limit, and Billy’s body would also have its limit too. I hoped I wouldn’t need to resort to either.

“We’re gonna go nice and slowly Billy.” Slowly, I instructed each shard of light to direct itself to Billy, the growth began, but it was almost imperceptible. I wanted to take this really slow, and feel him increase in size ever so slightly whilst we took turns fucking each other.

Billy groaned, he was much more familiar with the sensation now, he began biting my neck, and pulled us both back into the bed.

Laying atop him, I could feel the slow but gradual growth take effect. At first, he just looked like he had a good pump going, but then it slowly went beyond that. I took charge, I wanted to obsess and inspect my handiwork whilst ploughing into this enormous, slowly expanding man. I shifted down between his legs and he lifted them high up. I marvelled at his legs which were now insanely thick, cords of power shifted and flexed as he raised them up, revealing his hole for me. I didn’t waste any time, my dick was coated in my pre, I guided the head of my prick to his hole, Billy quivered in response. I unceremoniously slipped in, my arms collided around Billy’s pillar-like legs, they didn’t budge even slightly. I honestly started to feel like I was fucking a statue with how hard Billy’s body had become.

I trust in and out, my eyes pierced into Billy’s expansive body, I’d compare in my head where his shoulders met the headboard. Occasionally I’d notice that his body had surpassed the internal visionary thresholds I’d marked. Knowing he was slowly getting bigger and bigger drove me wild. I could feel that my arms were very slowly but noticeably becoming more and more straight as his monstrous thighs got thicker and longer. I patted him and signalled to switch positions. I pulled out and he shifted up and onto his knees, I rose to my feet. I’d need to stand to go doggy style, earning a significant spurt to shoot out from my dick which landed between Billy’s shoulder blades.

He hummed in approval, and I shoved my length back into him, earning a guttural roar from Billy.

His ass was so globular and massive now that I actually had a little difficulty spreading his cheeks and being able to push my way further into him, I simply wasn’t strong enough to get all the way to the hilt, his ass was simply too large and unrelenting. I slapped his left cheek hard, I think it stung my hand more than it stung his cheek. I did my best to wobble his cheeks in my hands and playfully kneaded the brawny flesh. He flexed his glutes a couple of times in rhythm with my thrusts, which caused me to slip right out of him. He chuckled when he did, and I couldn’t help but laugh too at the relative absurdity. After the final time he did it, I decided to play my own prank in return. I turned the attention of my power to me, focused entirely on my dick, and watched as it surged from its already impressive 7.5 inches into a monstrously thick 11 inches of meat. It looked comically big on my frame, but I kind of liked it.

I thrust back in, earning a shocked gasp and groan from Billy. With my newfound size I focused my efforts back into him in more ways than one, he began to grow again. I was perfectly aligned with his prostate now and punched it vigorously with my prominent manhood. His eyes rolled back as he lost himself to the sensations. I smirked, realising I’d bested him and enjoyed the newfound tightness his hole afforded with my increased appendage.

We went at it like this for what felt like hours, I was relentless, adamant that I could make him cum without him even touching himself. Then the sensations became too great, Billy lost control of himself and his legs quivered and shook me around. He gyrated his hips and lurched, blasting cum into the sheets below. I could feel the force of the explosive orgasm take hold, not only over his body but the power of his horsecock was immense, cum shot out like a geyser, coating the whole bed and splashing against my ankles. I slowed to a stop once he calmed, and slowly retreated out. His ass was higher up now than it was, I wondered about his stats, so snapped my fingers, a projector shone out onto the wall beside us with Billy’s stats.

He rotated back around into his ass, sat up and hugged into me breathing heavily, my cock rested in the crevice of his pecs. As he came to, he looked over, and then to me in shock.

“Are you telling me we could’ve just done this the whole time?” He pointed at the wall in disbelief. I chuckled.

“What can I say, manual feels better!” I laughed at him, he rolled his eyes and began to laugh too.

Height: 8’3 → 8’8
Weight: 543lbs → 687lbs
Arms: 29 inches → 34 inches
Chest: 68 inches → 74 inches
Waist: 38.5 inches → 42 inches
Quads: 48 inches → 52 inches
Shoe size: 20 → 24
Length: 17 inches → 18.5 inches
Girth: 10 inches → 11 inches

I was about to ask if this was enough, but before I could even open my mouth Billy was back on me, he nibbled my ear and whispered.

“Not yet.”

He pulled me back down into the bed, I splashed in his cum puddle. The sound startled us both, stopping us in our tracks, and we began to laugh. I held my fingers up to click, and he nodded.

Light flashed through the room, removing the mess Billy had made. We were properly ready for round 2, and Billy eyed me up like a demon.

I half expected him to ram his length into me then and there, but instead, he did something even better. He’d grabbed the tape measure from the bedside table. He’d obviously planned ahead, and unravelled it. He put my hands behind my back and wrapped the tape measure around my hands, using it as a bind. Then he gently lowered me onto my back. And raised himself to his feet, planting his gigantic feet either side of me.

“My turn now, you’re mine little man,” was all he said before he began performing pose after pose. My dick had obviously been hard this whole time, but now it became desperate, it straightened up as if it was trying to reach up to Billy. I’d never seen my dick look and feel more hard than in this moment.

I traced Billy’s entire being with my eyes. The way his biceps and triceps bulged up and out as he flexed his arm. He reached over with difficulty to kiss and lick the peaks. His shoulders were now so incredibly broad that it seemed like Billy was now the width of this already enlarged bed, he’d outgrown it without us really noticing. The shoulders exuded power and size, making Billy’s head look comparatively small. Speaking of, his head seemed to be encased in a muscular prison, traps crept up impossibly high, framing his thick neck.

My vision moved down to his chest as he performed a most muscular down at me. It was a difficult choice, but I think his chest was my favourite thing ever. His muscle tits were now beyond anything I could imagine, they strutted out from his chest proudly, full of masculine power. They commanded authority by their size alone. I almost rediscovered my love for Billy’s hairy body all over again as I enjoyed the rhythmic bouncing of Billy’s pecs. His body hair added even more masculinity to his expanding frame. He tweaked his nipples a few times, earning a couple of spuds of pre to ooze out of his prodigious dick.

The sensation of the pre landing on me was the only thing that could pry my eyes away from his chest. His dick was, frankly, stupid big. It absolutely fit his frame perfectly, but there was no way many mortals could reliably take him now. It didn’t matter, he’d never need to think about it, I was filled with pride at the thought that this was my man. He flexed his dick a few times, and then brought it way, way down. He let go, and it pinged straight up, slapping against his monstrous wall of abs. The eight perfectly formed cobbles of his midriff were so prominent now that you could lose loose change down the crevices they created. They were so hard that the change you got back would probably be warped and deformed.

He pinged his dick against himself a few more times, clearly enjoying the loud thud it created when he did so. Then, he started to lift a leg and shook it. He crashed a foot back down, causing us to bounce up and down, and flexed his already imposing leg into something truly terrific. From my vantage point I could see the inner portion of his leg, which even though he was straddling me, still fought for space against Billy’s pendulous balls and his other leg. The muscle on display was completely inhuman, so large and vast that it caused my hips to buck.

He then shifted and rotated around, showing off all his back muscles. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that from his view, his glutes blocked out most of his back poses. But I could still see how wide he was, and I couldn’t complain at the view of Billy’s ever expanding ass. It was sensational. He then began to gyrate his hips as he flexed his glutes. Pre shot out of me, the force even took me by surprise, the ropes licked and flicked in an attempt to reach his body.

He turned back around, and peered over his massive chest, which was even bigger than when I last paid attention to it. He backed up and jumped off the foot of the bed, the whole room shook violently, earning a soft chuckle from Billy. Next, he lowered himself down and glided his body over mine. He placed my dick between his pecs and began to flex once more. He was milking my dick with his chest!! The sensation was unreal. I writhed in pleasure and wanted nothing else than to reach out and touch him. He saw my struggle and smirked. He placed a hand on my arm as if to say “nope, you’re staying put.”

After a few minutes of this delightful torture, fucking my dick with his chest, he moved over so he could flex his boulderous arms around my dick. The feeling of his forearm and bicep squeezing my length was too much. I began to buck my hips and fuck his bicep. Billy let out a low moan.

“Yeah baby, fuck my giant arm, feel how much harder it is than you, yeah fuck my arm!” he teased me.

I couldn’t bear it any longer. By using just his body and some flexing Billy reduced me to a quivering, orgasmic mess. I shot out cum coating his arm. He moved over and began sucking on my dick. My eyes rolled back into my head and for the first time that evening, I felt myself lose control of my power. The light hissed and Billy suddenly lurched up and out. The shock caused me to close my hands, and blue light engulfed the purple. My eyes peered open, inspecting Billy. He was moaning and slurping and seemed to be completely fine, I looked back over at his stats once more with the little focus I could muster.

Height: 8’8 → 9’2
Weight: 687lbs → 785lbs
Arms: 34 inches → 38 inches
Chest: 74 inches → 79.5 inches
Waist: 42 inches → 43 inches
Quads: 52 inches → 57 inches
Shoe size: 24 → 26
Length: 18.5 inches → 19.5 inches
Girth: 11 inches → 11.5 inches

The stats made me cum even harder, earning more low moans from Billy. Once my deluge ebbed to a trickle, Billy released my length from his throat. His abs were slightly distended now. His dick was angry, inflexible and commanding. He effortlessly lifted me up into the air and lined me up onto his dick. His hands could now completely enclose around my waist.

He guided me down his length, stars and cosmos instantly filled my vision. I could feel every thick, virile vein on his shaft as he lowered me down. I reached the hilt of his dick and remembered to breathe. He pulled me into a sloppy, wild make out, his mouth was noticeably bigger than mine. His huge tongue filled my mouth as it danced with mine. He slowly started to thrust in and out. The light in my hands grew hot, but remained blue, Billy could see the strain on my face and knew it was me holding back the light rather than taking his impossible length.

“It’s okay, give me a bit more, just enjoy it,” he hushed. His voice was low and gravelly.

I felt myself relax, and the purple light returned. I was acutely aware of it and demanded that it behave, for the most part, it complied. Billy once again began to grow, it was a little faster and more noticeable, I think I was too het up to go any slower. Billy enjoyed the sensation’s return, and began to thrust faster and faster.

We remained connected, we were one, Billy could even see what I saw. The stars and cosmos drifted around us as we made passionate love. I felt safe, loved, and sexy. The passion turned to desperation as we both neared yet another orgasm, which I suspected would be a climax to end all climaxes, I could feel it build, it emanated out from where we connected. I could feel what Billy felt, and in turn he felt me too. We had melded into one being, sharing the same thoughts, feelings, sensations. We both cried out in unison as we erupted. The stars shone impossibly bright, causing our eyes to shut tight.

There was almost a serenity in our shared orgasm, I felt at peace as the electric passion tore through us. We floated in ecstasy for an eternity, just the two of us.

When we returned from this sexually charged zen, our eyes opened in unison. Our cum was everywhere. My body had no hope of taking his load, it had shot right back out of my ass and had coated everything in sight. My cum completely covered the ceiling.

My brain rebooted and my head slowly turned to the projector once more. I was worried Billy would be too big now, but instead I was pleased with what I saw, he’d mainly grown wider rather than taller.

Height: 9’2 → 9’6
Weight: 785lbs → 1019lbs
Arms: 38 inches → 42 inches
Chest: 79.5 inches → 86 inches
Waist: 43 inches → 46 inches
Quads: 57 inches → 62 inches
Shoe size: 26 → 30
Length: 19.5 inches → 22 inches
Girth: 11.5 inches → 15 inches

I felt blue light pour out of my hands, encasing him in its soft embrace. We both knew this was the perfect size for Billy. I found myself brought to tears as I realised we would no longer have anything to fear, and could simply be together. Forever.

Billy and I lazed about, sensually stroking our bodies. We talked, laughed, and reminisced about all the things that had happened over the last few months. We weren’t sure when, but we both fell into a deep sleep, me resting atop Billy’s incomprehensible frame. I don’t think I’d ever been more comfortable. My head rested nicely between Billy’s pillowy, mountainous pecs.

When we awoke in the morning, we took some time to appreciate our vast difference in size. Billy was now a whole 4 feet taller than me, and was just over 6 times my weight, all of it stupendous, glorious man muscle.

We roughhoused a little, while Billy completely outsized me physically, I was still an otherworldly being with powers he couldn’t truly comprehend.

We enjoyed our morning, and decided it was time to get up and face the day, starting with a hearty breakfast, we were both famished after the night we’d had. We left the purpose-built room and wandered down to a communal area, all our friends were there.

To say they were being intense would be an understatement, they gleefully smiled at us both, excitedly, almost creepily.

“Oh my god please put us out of our misery, just tell us what happened!!” Catherine blurted out, losing her cool for the second time in history. This thankfully broke the weird tension and we all laughed. Billy and I filled them in on the details. Scott and Michael looked at each other and over to us, Selena stared coldly at us, Bartholomew scratched its head, Catherine returned to a relaxed state.

We settled in and explained the events of the evening, opting to leave out most of the sexy details.

“I mean you’re clearly bigger, but I just guessed it was while you gained control, you mean to tell me you both chose this? Despite the risks? Hmm?” Selena asked analytically.

We both looked at each other uneasily, it was true there could be risks, but in the moment I don’t think it mattered to either of us.

“It’s what we both wanted, I think it was always going to go this way and I couldn’t be happier, I’ve also never felt better, surely it’s fine? Barth, we good?” Billy asked, holding out his arms as if inviting Bartholomew in.

Bartholomew outstretched its long arm, green light emanated out, as though it was scanning Billy.

“Yes... All... All is well everyone, Billy is perfectly healthy and still not large enough to suffer any adverse effects even when earth’s gravity is taken into consideration. Billy could still live a perfectly normal life in the human world, which means we have all succeeded,” Bartholomew reported.

“What if...” Scott spoke up.

“What if we didn’t want to leave? What if we could stay here?” Scott asked.

Michael placed a hand on Scott’s thigh. “Babe we talked about this, humans have never lived here, it goes against the natural order of things we... You know we can’t...” Michael’s voice faded to a whisper.

It was true, Scott and Billy would need to return to the human world, which would present problems if Michael and I continued our work, with how time passed differently, Scott and Billy would reach old age in what we would perceive as a matter of months. We could thankfully place them right at the point they left us to be here, but there were many questions without answers.

“You have to go back, all the good you will do to humanity is too important to ignore...” Catherine stated solemnly.

That was also true, if they didn’t return, they wouldn’t carry out the future we’d predicted which would help countless men, advancing male mental health, and also create more spaces and understanding for neurodiverse people.

A pit formed in my stomach. One way or another, this would end, how could a human life match with eternity? No matter how I thought about it, the limited time I had with Billy didn’t feel like it would ever be enough. Tears filled my eyes and I turned into Billy’s thigh, shielding myself from this realisation and the room of people I’d grown to love. This was too much.

“I guess we could take a sabbatical, you guys could manage without us?” Michael was equally heartbroken, holding back his tears as the same realisation hit him as it did me.

“I know you both, you wouldn’t want to be away from things here for that long, you care too deeply about what we’re hoping to achieve next. Hm” Selena frowned, equally saddened by this moment, despite her lack of emotional intelligence, she showed great empathy. I realised how proud of everyone I was, which made me even more upset.

Zachary had moved to us, I looked up to him and Billy and despite the emotion, I couldn’t help but notice Billy was now taller than even Zachary, that seemed like the biggest, most final milestone that Billy had accomplished with his size.

Zachary surrounded me and hugged Billy. Saying nothing. He began to whimper. This broke my heart even more.

Catherine and Selena stared at each other, it seemed they were communicating by thought, their faces were serious. After a while, they both sighed, they knew collectively there was no solution they could come up with to get around this.

Bartholomew had been silent during all the emotion, it looked across the room at all the sad faces. While it was the least understanding of humans out of all of us, even it recognised the gravity of the situation.

“No,” he stated flatly, before evaporating into green vapour.

We looked over at the wisps of green and then each other in confusion. Before dropping back into our feelings. We consoled each other, Billy and I left with Scott and Michael, we went for a couple’s day out to get away from things. The rest of the team went about their business, Selena, Catherine and Zachary spent the day compiling reports and lessons learned.

By evening, we all returned to the common area. The sadness in the group felt like a thick fog, but at least we were together. Well, for the most part.

“Where’s our lanky ghost guy?” Zachary piped up.

“Yeah, has anyone heard from him at all?” Catherine added.

As if it had been waiting for this moment to make a grand entrance, Bartholomew opened the door, which was surprising, given it normally phased through everything. It was followed by other similar green spirits, though their forms were all completely different. One was short, fat and round. Another was even lankier than Bartholomew, the final one was the widest, it was beefy and masculine looking. They spoke in unison, which was frankly terrifying.

“We have reviewed the sacred life cycle and have made some decisions,” they began.

“You will return to earth, you must, for the reasons you already know, and because your souls must return to the cycle,” they continued.

“Please, live your lives, do not be sad, life is precious and should not be squandered,” they added. I wanted to feel reassured, but I couldn’t quite face it, it seemed to have more of an effect on Billy and Scott, who seemed to brighten up suddenly.

“We should go,” Scott stated, he seemed to be in a trance.

“Yes, we should go,” Billy echoed.

Michael looked over to me. What was happening?!

I pulled at Billy to stay seated, but he ignored me. It’s as though he was possessed by these spirits. Scott and Billy joined the lineup of spirits on either side, they instantly dwarfed the rest.

“Bartholomew, please I—” I started to beg but a green light washed over me, preventing me from moving or speaking. We were all frozen, Bartholomew had betrayed us...but why? How could it do this after all we’d been through together?

With that, the four spirits, Billy and Scott evaporated into green vapours, before fading entirely. We all unfroze, and panic set in, what the fuck??!

Before we could mobilise, Bartholomew phased back into the room, this time, he was alone. Zachary barreled over to him in a fit of rage, but simply passed through Bartholomew’s lanky form.

“Bartholomew, how could you do this?!” he screamed out in anger.

“Please everyone, I am so sorry for what you just saw but pl—” Bartholomew started.

“After all we’ve been through, all we’ve learned from each other, and this is how you want to end it? Really?” Catherine scolded.

Selena said nothing, she just shook with rage.

I didn’t... I couldn’t think or act, sobbing, I looked over to Michael, who was equally inconsolable.

“Please let me explain!” Bartholomew shrieked out, it rang in our ears, making us all feel uneasy.

“This is all for us. Please believe me, please, you are my friends, I am doing this for you. Please...” It sank to the floor, defeated.

“W-what do-o you, do y-ou mean?” I asked between sobs.

Bartholomew raised its head, hopeful we would hear it out.

“I have a plan, I can’t... Talk freely about it, but I know this is the correct course of action. The DDB have acted based on what they believe is right... I can ask for forgiveness later,” he stated.

“It’s true, what you all said is true, and the spirits, it’s all right. Scott and Billy must live out their lives, but you also must be part of it, enjoy the time you have,” he continued.

“But you just ensured it will end, we know the work of spirits, they have taken Billy and Scott away, they can never return here freely now, and you also stopped us from ever being able to be seen by them again!” Catherine interjected, her knowledge once again impressed me, though honestly I hoped she was wrong.

“Correct again,” It confirmed. Bartholomew turned to us.

“Live your lives with these humans, James, Michael—as humans yourselves!” With that, Bartholomew snapped its long fingers, Michael and I flashed to the human world, landing softly in a large flower field.

Billy and Scott were there, waiting for us. Nearby, there were two beautiful houses, we later learned these were our homes.

Echoes of Bartholomew reverberated through our minds: “When you meet your ends, you will learn what will happen next, enjoy the time you have left.” Bartholomew was cryptic, but left us with hope. Within a few minutes, it was difficult to recall anything about the bureaus. I held out my hand, willing any of my abilities to shine out.

Nothing.

Less than nothing.

I couldn’t remember why I was holding out my hand. I became confused until I looked back over to my enormous lover. I realised... Whatever I’d lost... It didn’t matter, I had all I needed right here.

The years went by alarmingly fast, we cherished every moment, from Scott and Michael’s proposal to eventual marriage, shortly followed by mine and Billy’s tying of the knot. We fully experienced all that life had to offer, home, work, travel, success, love, joy, humour, heartache, sadness, surprise, all of it.

Billy and Scott’s joint venture was a marvel, it helped so many people across the world. Without meaning to, they became rather famous for a time. Everyone was astonished by Billy in particular, who earned a few world records all to do with his size and stature. He also gained a legion of bodybuilding fans, who aspired to be like him, and an equally large fan base of men he directly helped through his wellness programme.

Scott meanwhile, achieved acclaim both academically and in the world of work for his understanding of neurodiversity. Nearly all prominent corporations across the world clambered to achieve the Stacy Edwards accreditation, which he lovingly named after his best friend.

Meanwhile, Michael and I ultimately enjoyed a life of leisure, no one even questioned it, somehow we all suspected it was well earned, though we had no idea why. Maybe in a previous life we’d been workaholics or something.

Despite our increasing age, Billy and I never lost our love or lust for each other, our sex life blossomed even in the later stages of our life. We slowed down of course, but I still marvelled at his size, which hadn’t really diminished all that much.

We remained a close knit group right until the end, thankfully, I can say that each of my dear friends passed peacefully within a few days of each other. Billy passed not long after, and I felt tired...but complete. I felt ready for whatever came next after this glorious life we had all shared. For the final night, I tucked myself into bed, and fell into a peaceful slumber, the highlights of my life playing out before me as I drifted into a calm darkness.

I jolted awake. I was. Of course! The bureau, my abilities, everything flooded back rather abruptly, I felt like I had been asleep for an eternity. Then I recalled my full, wonderful life on earth. I smiled lovingly at the memories, until I recalled what Bartholomew had done. Was this his intention? To give us the best life possible with those we loved?

I walked out of the room, which was somewhat unfamiliar.

To my surprise, Zachary was at the door I opened, he swooped in and lifted me into his embrace, kissing me all over.

“Fucking hell I missed you!” he cried out.

“W—” I managed to force out before he crushed me into his enormous form.

“Come with me!” He suddenly released me, dropping me back down to my feet.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me along. We came to a room with all the directors and I sat next to Michael, who like me was young again, he looked equally confused, he had just arrived here too. I was so happy to see everyone... Until my eyes fell onto Bartholomew, then I suddenly felt cold. But before forming too much of an opinion, Bartholomew began.

“Now that you’re back, I can tell you exactly what happened. I knew what I was going to do was against all the rules of the DDB, but it didn’t matter, this was more important, I couldn’t tell you what I planned, I couldn’t risk you knowing, you know our methods and why that is. I just hoped you’d forgive me once I explained what I have done.”

“I took the decision out of your hands, I knew you’d choose to continue on at the bureau, which was wrong, you’d earned a life outside of all this with Billy, so had Michael with Scott. I wanted to give you the gift of that time to just enjoy being together.”

“That brings me onto the other thing...” Bartholomew signalled Zachary, who excitedly ran to a door across the room, the door was taller than he was. I wasn’t prepared for who came through.

Scott proudly walked in, closely followed by an enormous Billy. They were both here, and back to how they were before we all left! But, how?

“I got into so much trouble for this, it was thrilling!” Bartholomew giggled.

“Each time one of you passed, your souls returned to the cycle, obviously a bureau colleague can’t die, they can only cease to exist, your souls naturally flitted out of the cycle and you wound up back here naturally. These two however... I intercepted, I fished them out of the cycle right as they entered it. I must say, I timed them both perfectly! Look at them, barely a day older than when they were last here!” It beamed with pride over what it accomplished.

“They are still technically human, they haven’t become one of us, but they can stay here with us as long as they choose, and help us in any way they want to. We’re making them associates for the bureau, a way to appease the DDB for what I’ve done. They will be our human liaisons, guiding us on the next phase of our journey.” Bartholomew nodded in satisfaction.

“I am sorry, truly, for the deception, but I hope now you see that this truly was for all of us.” Bartholomew smiled warmly.

“You’re more than forgiven!” I replied excitedly as Billy and Scott joined mine and Michael’s side.

“We knew we couldn’t start until we were all back together. Now that you’re back, we can finally start our work on the pathless!” Catherine exclaimed with excitement.

“Ohhh, love the name. Right where do we begin?” I asked.
