Transformative Love

The two were seated atop an outdoor balcony, their table overlooking the town below. Jackie slipped a bite of cake into his mouth, licking his lips as he chewed. The pink strawberry icing which stained his teeth was the perfect amount of sweetness, it’s fruity flavor resonating blissfully across his tongue. “Aaron, this café is amazing!”

Aaron leaned back in his chair, smiling to see his boyfriend’s enjoyment. “Told you this place was top notch. They even do specialty orders to make sure you get exactly what you want.”

A large lump of cake rolled down Jackie’s throat as he swallowed. “Specialty order?” His voice was muffled from the sugar and crumbs that coated the inside of his mouth. Looking down at the half-eaten slice in front of him, he giggled shyly. “W-was this a specialty order?” Aaron nodded. Scooting his chair behind him, Jackie leaped up and wrapped himself around Aaron from across the table.
“Ok, ok, no need to make a scene.” With gentle pushes, Aaron was able to prompt Jackie back into his chair.

“S-Sorry, I, uh, I just get all melty when people do special things like this for me.” Jackie looked away, blushing lightly.
With a smirk, Aaron could only shake his head. “yeah yeah, ya big goof ball. Not like we’re dating or anything.” They both shared a hard laugh.

After shooting a smile at his boyfriend Jackie proceeded with another bite of cake. The fork slipped in and out of his mouth sensually, his body jittering as he slid the astounding flavor along his taste buds. “Oh gosh, this is to die for.” Going in for another scoop with his fork, Jackie gasped when he realized how much of the delectable gift remained. With saddened eyes he reeled the fork back. A small smile lined his face as he gazed up at Aaron, and gently pushed the plate away from him. “Here, you have the rest of it.”

Aaron raised an eyebrow. He felt his heart fluttering at the offer, but remembered to himself that the best part wouldn’t happen until it was all eaten by one person. His face gleamed with an enthusiastic grin. “No, no, this is your gift.” With a cheeky gaze he pushed the cake back. “And we won’t leave here until I see every bite go inside that cute belly of yours.” Jackie’s frame stiffened, his face now completely red. With a soft sigh, Aaron leaned over and picked up the fork, slicing it into the cake. “Only a few more bites now, can you open up for me?” Sweat lined Jackie’s head. Closing his eyes and scrunching his face, he did as he was told and opened his mouth.

The fork gently slipped inside, a loving chuckle coming from Aaron as he watched his partner’s lips wrap around the utensil. Pulling it out, he prepped the final bite, watching Jackie’s face as he chewed the current mouthful gleefully. Seeing Aaron hold up the last remanence of cake, Jackie instinctually repeated his instructions and slipped his mouth once more over the fork, consuming what was left of his gift. With a hard swallow, Jackie leaned back and rubbed his plush tummy.
“Feeling good?” Aaron asked sweetly. Jackie was unable to answer verbally, managing only a single content nod. “Very good,” Aaron chirped.

With closed eyes Jackie basked in the sun. A soothing warmness graced his stomach, both inside and out. His heart pumped giddily in his chest, when a feint rumbling emitted from Jackie’s belly. “Oh, I think I ate too much,” he said with a moan.

Aaron took a relaxed sip from the drink in front of him. “Maybe I should have helped you finish it after all.”

“I’ll say.” Jackie continued to rub at his tummy when he lazily opened his eyes and looked down. “Wh-What the?” His body shot up straight as he pulled his hands closer to his face. From the wrist up, they had turned a vibrant pink. “A-Aaron? What’s going on?”

Aaron laughed cheekily. “Aww, quit fooling, Jackie. And take that Sylveon head band off, that’s not appropriate in public.”

“What?” With shivering hands Jackie felt the top of his head and gulped. No headband was found, but instead were two tall, furry, ears. He went to grab them, only to find the width between his fingers had shrunken exceptionally. Pulling them back down, his eyes twitched when they beheld the pair of pinks paws that had replaced them. It was then that he noticed an odd tingling sensation all across his body. Aaron bit his lip while he watched silently.

A harsh screech pierced the air as Jackie jumped up from his seat, nearly knocking over the table. He gazed over his arms with wide eyes. A solid white slithered over the limbs as a fresh coat of fur popped up along his skin. He pressed his newly formed paws against his face and whimpered when all he could feel were their pads. From under him his shoes gradually loosened as his feet shrunk down, transforming into another pair of dainty paws from inside his socks. His legs quivered, and without the footing to stand up his entire frame toppled over. Catching himself on his front paws, Jackie was now reduced to a quadruped stance, his arms and legs shortening and bending to become more canine like. He turned his neck to look at his new shape, only to have what appeared to be streamers fall down over his eyes. Looking up he noticed the hints of blue and pink that tipped the odd décor, and groaned wearily when he realized the ribbons were coming from his head.

Aaron watched without a word. From inside his chest he felt his heart thumping, his fingers nervously rasping along the table. It was a slow day at the café’, leaving the two to their conundrum without a single interruption from any employees. “They did a good job clearing out the place and keeping it clear,” Aaron thought to himself, briefly looking around. “They better have for what I paid.” With the whimpers of his boyfriend alerting his senses, Aaron’s attention once again locked back onto what was becoming of Jackie.
Jackie was busy prodding against some embellishment that had appeared over his collar bone, two more ribbons billowing from the bow shaped appendage. The hair on his head had completely faded, instead being replaced by a tuft of pink over his scalp, and the same white fur from before now covering the rest of his face. His eye color had changed too, becoming large blue circles. His nose shrunk down into a teeny dot like snout, while fangs replaced where his teeth once rested comfortably in his mouth.

With his old clothes hanging loosely from around him, Jackie pawed at his shirt, grunting as he was unable to pull it off of himself. A sudden yelp escaped his lips when a sharp pain shot up unexpectedly from his tail bone. Twisting his body over, he chewed at his belt, desperate to remove his pants. Noticing the struggle, Aaron finally got up and walked over to him. He got down on his knees and wrapped Jackie around in his arms. Jackie squirmed about violently, growling as he wrestled against his supposed lover’s grasp. With a huff, Aaron was able to undo the belt and pull the unflattering jeans off. A fuzzy pink tail flew out immediately, free to wag without the denim prison holding it down. Although wagging was about the last thing it wanted to do.

Aaron couldn’t help but blush deeply. With the pants removed, his vision was graced by a pair of dainty panties, those of which he didn’t know were even being worn until this moment. He shook his head playfully before removing the rest of the useless clothing, finally sliding the panties down around Jackie’s ankles, and pulling them out from under his hind paws.

Completely naked, and completely transformed, what was now Jackie sat in place, his whole body shivering violently. Tears welled up in his eyes. A deep, angry red lined his pouting face, while his chest heaved in an attempt to regain his breath. Aaron slowly raised a hand to try and pet him but pulled it back when he was met by a vicious growl from Jackie. Aaron then knew that Jackie had caught on to him being at least partly responsible for what just happened.

“Jackie…,” Arron’s voice was as soft and as low as he could make it. “I know you can still understand me. Are you willing to let me explain?” With a huff, Jackie closed his eyes and turned his head away in retort, whipping his ribbons around as he did so. Aaron sighed, but with the unhappy Jackie looking away, a window appeared.

Ever so quietly, Aaron tried lifting his hand up once more, and gently brought his fingers against Jackie’s neck. Aaron then slowly began to scratch it, moving his fingers up and down as he brushed them along Jackie’s silky fur.

Jackie felt his entire frame tighten upon being touched. Instinctively he began to bear his teeth, only to become more aware of the sensation such petting provided. Aaron’s fingers let out a streak of warmth as they slid across his skin, gradually causing the muscles that tensed from under it to relax.

“Shh,” Aaron cooed. “Just hear me out.”

Jackie’s face was still red, but his eyes had softened and he no longer held his nose up. A deep sob resonated from his throat as he laid his head down over his paws. However, his ears were perked, showing that he was still listening.

“I’m sorry for the suddenness of this, but I sort of wanted it to be a surprise.” Aaron made sure to keep scratching as he talked. “I actually didn’t expect you to react so poorly. Because you were always talking about wishing you didn’t have to be a person, that you wanted to just live a simple and carefree life. When I first heard of this place and their, uh, services. it all sounded like a joke.” Jackie scowled. “But the more I looked into it and found testimonies, the more I started to believe. If only because I was so desperate to make those wishes come true. So I saved up the money, pulled a few strings, made some arrangements, and simply put, here we are now.”

Jackie lifted his head up and gazed over his paws. He turned them around on their joints and sighed. Seeing the misery in his partner, Aaron moved to scratching behind Jackie’s ears and continued explaining. “The cake you had today was just a very small dose. Meaning while the transformation is complete, its results are merely temporary.”  Jackie immediately turned his eyes towards Aaron at these words. “It’d be wrong to strip you of your past without your permission. It’s a scary thing to lose. But at the same time, I thought maybe it wouldn’t hurt to try, you know?” Aaron leaned down, scooping Jackie up in his arms and hugging tightly. “I just want you to be happy. So when the opportunity arrived to make one of your wildest dreams come true, I simply couldn’t resist. I’m sorry for scaring you, but I think once the shock settles, you might find there’s some serious perks to this.” With those soothing words Aaron laid a long, warm kiss over Jackie’s cheek.

Jackie felt a rush of heat fill his face and his ears lowered with contemplation. Aaron rubbed both his hands across Jackie’s cheeks, smiling softly. “Feeling a lot better knowing this isn’t permanent?”

Jackie nodded meekly. Aaron ruffled the top of his head and continued. “They say this’ll wear off by tomorrow, which will give us all of today and tonight to give it a test drive. Once you transform back, we can discuss it and see how you feel. Deal?” Aaron held his hand up to shake, while Jackie looked over it with uncertainty. Figuring he didn’t have much choice either way, he placed his paw in Aaron’s hand which wrapped around it tightly.

Standing up, Aaron gathered the clothes left behind by Jackie.  Pulling up a bag he had set next to his chair, some items were removed from inside before the clothes were stuffed back in their place.  The last article of clothing to be inserted was Jackie’s panties, which Aaron held up and giggled at before placing them in with the rest. Taking up what was removed, he brought the items over to Jackie, who’s eyes dilated at what he saw. Humming casually to himself, Aaron undid a pink collar he had snuck in and wrapped it around Jackie’s neck, which was then secured to a matching leash. “Sorry sweetie, I know this is embarrassing for you. But city law dictates all Pokémon out of their balls must be leashed or contained.” Jackie lowered his gaze as he was hooked up, poking at his restraint with a weary paw. “I promise not to be rough with you.”

The two stood up together. “Ready to get back home?” Aaron asked. Jackie could only give a weak nod, and then they were off. Aaron thanked the hostess as they walked out of the entrance. Meanwhile, Jackie felt his back tingle and was almost certain that the lady was watching them go. He wondered to himself how accustomed she had become to seeing less people leave than had entered.

The streets were surprisingly barren. Jackie’s eyes constantly veered back and forth nervously. He tripped over his legs as he adjusted to walking on all fours, which only added to his self-consciousness.  Aaron walked alongside him slowly and looked back down every block to check on his pet’s status. Jackie trotted along as quietly and unsuspectingly as he could, his ears and head kept low.

A burst of unintelligible chatter radiated some distance in front of them, causing Jackie to look up. He felt his heart drop upon seeing a group of girls walking along towards them. Aaron was unable to hold back his snicker. Putting on a smile he greeted the group as they finally crossed ways. “Good afternoon ladies,” Aaron said in a smooth voice.

“Oooohh my gosh, look at his Sylveon!” The crowd swarmed around Jackie, bending down and reaching out to pet, poke, and touch him in as many different ways as they could.”

“Her eyes are gorgeous!”

“Feel how fresh and soft her coat is!”

“Oh my gosh look at how cute her little leash is!”

“What’s her name?”

Aaron giggled, doing nothing to ward off the crowd. “Jackie, and just so you know, she is actually a he.”
Jackie’s entire face was burning up.

“Oh, then why the pink collar and leash?” One of the ladies asked.

Aaron shrugged. “Beats me, it’s the only one he lets me put on him. Try any other color and he makes such a fuss. He can be a little brat sometimes, but if something so simple as a pink collar can make him happy, then I see no harm in indulging him a little.”

“Aww, that’s such a sweet story,” one of the girls replied bubbly. Looking Jackie directly in the face, she smiled a toothy grin and patted him between the ears. “This little princess is actually a prince!”

“More or less,” Aaron chuckled. “And like any true royal, it’s time I got him home for his nap. So we must be going now, sad to say.”
“Awwwww,” they all said collectively.

“Bye, Jackie!”

“Have a good rest, Jackie!”

“I wish I could just take you home and keep you all to myself.” They each took turns hugging, petting, and even kissing him good bye. With a farewell wave from both parties, Aaron and the girls went their separate ways.

The two of them continued home without a word. Jackie’s legs shivered as he walked, while his heart felt ready to explode. He had never been barraged with so much attention at once, and it left his brain feeling racked. The awing, the petting, the smiling. It all came together to create a rush unlike any other. Jackie wildly shook his head to reconfigure his racing mind. Aaron watched his response from above, but choose to remain quiet and let him figure things out for himself.

They made it to their apartment building. Inside, Aaron opened the door to their room and Jackie hurried through the moment it was wide enough to fit. Jumping up onto the couch his entire body collapsed, his ribs expanding and shrinking rapidly from exhaustion. He rubbed his face with his paws, unwinding the tension he had built up from being in the public eye for so long. Aaron coolly stepped in and closed the door behind him. Striding over and sitting down in front of the couch, he proceeded to pet Jackie along his back. “Well, what did you think?”

Jackie closed his eyes to rest them. No form of communication was shared beyond his blatant weariness. Aaron ran a thumb along Jackie’s cheek and sighed.

Aaron stood up and scooped the exhausted Jackie into his arms. Carrying him like a newlywed, they made their way across the living room and into their shared bedroom. Aaron laid Jackie onto the large plush bed and soon joined him as they laid side by side. With a loving hand, he slowly ran it across Jackie’s ribbons, unsure of what else he could do. Jackie began to whimper, squirming about anxiously atop the cover.

Despite the risk of overstepping Jackie’s comfort zone, Aaron reached out and pulled the tiny frame against his chest and hugged it tightly. Aaron’s arms softly wrapped around Jackie’s waist, and he positioned Jackie’s head so that it rested neatly under his chin, burying his face underneath the bountiful ribbons. Moving his hand in a rotary motion, Aaron gently rubbed Jackie’s tummy, cooing as he felt along the silky, plush surface.

Jackie’s whimpers gradually transitioned into more relaxed breaths. He felt a thorough calmness settle across his body, like being tucked into bed and swaddled neck to toe with a blanket. His legs kicked about while he adjusted to only being half as tall as Aaron when laying down. Everything felt so much bigger as a tiny Sylveon. Held tightly against Aaron, not an ounce of anxiety gripped him. It was the safest he had ever felt, as a Sylveon or otherwise. Homing in to Jackie’s settling, Aaron bent his neck over and kissed the darling creature on the back of his neck.  Unintentionally, both of their surroundings soon faded to black.

                                                                       ****

When Aaron woke up he found himself alone in bed. With groggy eyes he peered at their alarm clock and moaned when he saw an hour had been wasted napping. He sat himself up while rubbing the sleep from his face, and then stood up onto the floor. Walking into the living room, he took a deep breath when he found Jackie had made himself comfortable on the couch. He was laying on his back, his paws curled up against his body, while his ribbons sprawled out all over the furniture piece. “Guess he just wanted some space,” Aaron mumbled before heading into the kitchen.

Opening the fridge, Aaron scrapped up various condiments and lunch meats, when a pitiful whimpering caught him from behind. Aaron turned around and saw Jackie sitting at the kitchen entrance, looking at him with big, pleading eyes. Aaron smirked, “Well good afternoon to you to. Finally trying to see what you can get away with like this, eh?” Jackie’s whimpering didn’t let up as one of his bows wrapped around his supposedly empty midsection. “Alright, alright, let’s see what we can make for baby Jackie.” Setting the sandwich materials down, Aaron leaned on the counter and pondered aloud. “Hmm, now what ever will I be able to feed my poor hapless Jackie? I wonder.” A cheeky grin lined Aaron’s face.

Jackie rolled his eyes. Sticking his nose up into the air he began to sniff loudly, flaring his nostrils as he did so. He let out a feint, “hmm” and made his way to the fridge, his paws tapping along the tile floor.  Aaron could only watch as Jackie propped himself onto the fridge door, and reached for the top with his ribbons. Jackie gasped with excitement when his feelers made contact with what seemed to be a square box. Wrapping around it, his face beamed as the goods were reeled down. Drool filled Jackie’s mouth when he saw the Poke’ Puffs that decorated the front of the container, and he couldn’t resist sticking his tongue out at Aaron before returning to the living room. Aaron’s expression remained blank. “So much for that surprise,” he said with a shrug.

Aaron joined Jackie at the couch, carrying with him a plated sandwich. Jackie was chewing at the box he so cheekily retrieved, growling at his inability to properly open it. “Guess your cleverness can only get you so far,” Aaron teased. Setting the plate down on the centerpiece table, he took the box from Jackie and effortlessly tore open its top. Reaching in, he pulled out a poke’ puff, which Jackie’s hypnotized eyes followed intently. Aaron raised an eyebrow. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re starting to become more Sylveon then human.” Jackie pouted at haring these words. Aaron scratched him under his chin and laughed. “Calm down, just being playful. In fact, this seems pretty in line with Jackie I’ve always known.” Holding out the treat, he continued to pet on Jackie as the delectable was snatched from his hand. Jackie ate away at the poke’ puff, leaving crumbs behind as he chewed messily. Aaron, meanwhile, picked his own plate back up, removing the sandwich and stuffing it into his mouth.

Lunch time had passed, and the two of them were curled up neatly together on the couch. Jackie rested his whole body on top of Aaron, who casually rubbed a hand along his partners full tummy. It was quiet in the apartment, with only their gentle breathing to break up the silence. After a moment of this peaceful rest, Aaron slid his fingers along Jackie’s ears and looked him in the eye. “Feeling any better about this?” He asked softly.

Plenty was reeling through the Jackie’s mind. This was all quite comfy, sure. But could he really be happy like this? He had essentially been de-promoted to being Aaron’s pet, and the loss of being able to speak and carry a conversation was something that weighed deeply over his mind. Jackie sighed and averted his sad eyes away from Aaron, unsure of how to respond. Leaning his head up, Aaron pressed his lips over Jackie’s cheek. “We’ll figure it out sooner or later. Don’t let this choice stress you out too much.” Aaron’s words were sweet, but Jackie still could only look away solemnly.

A loud yawn parted through Jackie’s gaping maw. Closing his eyes, he rolled his head under Aaron’s chin, his ribbons wrapping around the arms and hands which held him. In response, Aaron squeezed Jackie as tightly he could. And there they remained for a good long while.

                                                                    ****

Jackie propped himself over the bathroom sink, and looked into the connected mirror with focused eyes. He felt a disconnect from his body, like he was piloting an alien ship rather than simply being himself. The ribbons which were supposed to flutter and flow with life hung limply by his side. Phantom laughter still rung deep in his hear, the image of the girls from before playing repeatedly within his mind.

“Her eyes! Her Coat! Her leash! Her name?”

Her. Her. Her.

Jackie couldn’t help but shiver, an intense throb leaping from his chest. He didn’t have to double check to make sure he was still a him. A light breeze was enough to confirm that. Yet, glossing over the unapologetic pink, the frilly ribbons and bows which lined him, and his glistening eyes, something about it all felt right. As a person he could only do so much to match his outside self with his inside one. As a Sylveon, however, it almost seemed as though it was all done for him already. It made him dizzy to finally see himself looking more accurately to how he felt.

Jackie lifted his paws and brought himself down to the floor. He felt his ribbons swaying casually around him, moving about with ease. Controlling them was no different from how he used to control his fingers and toes. Did this disconnect simply stem from adjusting to such a form? Or did his mind refuse to believe this was what he was now, and more importantly, could remain as?

There was no doubt Aaron was soaking in the whole experience. The sadness Jackie briefly saw from him when he walked away was too vivid. Jackie was convinced that Aaron wanted this even more so than he did himself. But would he get bored? Can a relationship with a Sylveon be as dynamic as with another person? What if it becomes stagnant and Aaron becomes tired of dating a Pokémon? What would he do then as a Sylveon, just get dumped on the street like an unwanted pet? With all these considerations polluting his mind, Jackie exited the bathroom and paced about in their master bedroom. And paced. And paced.

Aaron slumped himself on the couch, his eyes constantly veering back towards the clock which hung in their living room. The hands on it ticked by noisily. “Should I intervene? Is he hurt? Did I do something wrong?” Aaron mumbled question after question under his breath. He tapped his foot anxiously, which lead into some pacing of his own. Aaron dragged himself around the living room, hands buried in his pockets and his head looking down thoughtfully. “I really thought this is what he wanted. I…, I didn’t mean to cause him so much distress.” Aaron leaned himself against a wall, his body unsure of what to do with itself. All he could do consistently was stare back and forth between the clock, and the closed door which sealed off their bedroom.

Jackie sighed, his body standing tall behind the bedroom door. With his chest puffed out he turned the doorknob using his ribbons, and pulled it open. None of these questions would lead anywhere trapped inside his mind. Somehow, he had to express them. The problem was figuring out a way to do so. He slinked through the hallway leading into the living room, and was about to reveal himself when some feint mumbling caused him to freeze in place. Jackie stiffened his ears, tuning them in to better hear what was being said.
“I just wanted to make him happy, and all I’ve done is rile him up.” The words came out in sobs and were wet to the ears. “God, he probably thinks I’m sitting in here getting my rocks off, using some silly conversation as a reason to go and do something so stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. He probably hates me right now…, my poor, Jackie.”

Jackie had to lie against the wall to support himself. His poor Jackie. He looked over his body, ribbons, fur, paws and all. It was so different from what he once was, and yet, he was still his Jackie. As quickly as a snap from one’s fingers, Jackie felt his head clear. He had already confirmed to himself that he loved how he looked; it was everything else that was concerning. But in this moment, if only ever in this moment, a sudden urge to be rash rushed over him.

Jackie peeked into the living room and saw that Aaron had sat himself back down on the couch, facing away from where he stood. With his body low he crawled forward, careful to move as silently as was possible. He inched himself closer until managing to position himself behind the furniture. From there he slowly raised his ribbons up, slithering them over the couch and around Aaron.

Aaron wiped away at his face, hoping to clear the blurring water along his eyes. He felt a gentle brush along his skin and gasped when he realized he was being surrounded. His eyes shot wide and his body tensed. “Oh god, Jackie, please no.”

Jackie tilted his head at the response.  With a roll of his eyes he made sure to do the very opposite, and allowed the ribbons to gently fall over Aaron like harmless confetti. Aaron watched them flutter down in defeat. His hand was still shaking as he picked on of them up, running his fingers along the soft fur as a blatant bout of laugher radiated from behind the couch. “J-Jackie?” Aaron turned himself around and saw the Sylveon looking up at him with a wide smile. “You little furball,” Aaron leaned over and smothered Jackie with his hands, rubbing them all over his head, face, and ears.

They both laughed heartily as the tension dissolved away. In all their playing they managed to lock eyes, and neither felt capable of breaking the shared gaze. Jackie pulled himself onto the back of the couch and began nuzzling against Aaron. “Well, seems like someone’s had quite the revelation,” Aaron remarked. Jackie nodded, licking Aaron on his cheek. “Want to discuss it then?” Jackie lowered his ears. With a shake from his head he opened his mouth and pointed a paw at it. “Are.., you hungry? Jackie huffed and continued the same motions. “Do you feel sick? What is it you’re trying to say?” Aaron’s eyes went wide at the realization. “You can’t talk…, duh.” Jackie nodded remorsefully.  “And that’s your biggest problem with all this?” Jackie nodded once more. “I see.”

Aaron pulled Jackie up and placed him onto his lap. “That is quite the drawback,” Aaron said as he began to stroke Jackie’s back. “Hmm.” Both of their brows furrowed. “Well, I mean,” Aaron started, “We can still understand each other, it’s just figuring out how to communicate.” Jackie whined. Aaron mindlessly continued to pet along Jackie, his hand slightly brushing against one of his ribbons. “Ohh.” With a brightness in his eyes, Aaron picked it up and held it to his face. “How flexible are you ribbons exactly?”

Jackie tilted his head. Standing up and jumping onto the floor, he began to demonstrate. He elegantly contorted his bows into all sorts of shapes and knots, twisting them around each other, wrapping them along both himself and Aaron, and finished by extending them all out and rolling them along in unison. Aaron watched without blinking. “I see,” he started. “If all that is possible, then why not use them to make shapes and motions that we can then assign meaning too, like sign language?” Jackie’s jaw dropped. Looking down he rubbed a paw against his chin thoughtfully. Aaron scooted off and got to his knees, positioning himself in front of Jackie. “Here’s a deal for you then. Why don’t we spend the rest of the day working on getting some basic words and sentences figured out, and track our progress by tomorrow. If you’re unhappy with what have by then, we’ll forget all about this Sylveon business.” He held his hand out. “Deal?” Jackie hesitated, remembering the last deal he made. Still, he looked up and saw the confident grin on Aaron’s face. Like a customer to a convincing sales pitch, Jackie once again placed his paw into Aaron’s hand, which squeezed tightly around it.

                                                                      ****

“So what do you think we should do for hungry?” Aaron looked up at Jackie with a notebook and pencil in his hands. They both laid on top of their bed, like a pair of school kids studying for tomorrow’s test. Night had settled in, darkening the window which looked outside. In the bronze tinted glow provided by a bedside lamp, Jackie sighed at the ease of the question.  Balancing himself upright, he placed a ribbon over his tummy and rubbed it in a circular motion. “Figured that be an easy one.” Aaron wrote “hungry” down on his paper, and listed the motion to associate with it. “How about sleepy?” Jackie rubbed under his eye with the same ribbon. “That could be mistaken for crying though.” Jackie shrugged. “I mean, I suppose it’d be pretty obvious to know when your crying.” Aaron made another record into the book.

Jackie was unable to keep from yawning loudly. Aaron had been feeling his eyes starting to droop as well, but couldn’t bring himself to put the notebook down just yet. Taking a moment to break, he casually turned through the pages they had filled, suddenly impressed by how many they were able to fill out in just one night. “Looks like we’ve really been on a roll,” Aaron said. “But we better keep going, just to be safe.” Jackie whimpered unapologetically. “I know, I know. But we really need to be certain this is something we can do. Now, let’s see,” returning to the half-filled page he was previously on, Aaron glossed over the words, racking his brain for the next one to cover. “How about-,” Aaron looked up and saw that Jackie had already created a signifier on his own accord. Jackie’s head was turned away, a petit smile accompanying the display. He positioned his head ribbons high above himself, bending them into an arch which narrowed along the base until closing off at his ear bow. “Uh,” Aaron scratched behind his neck. “I didn’t give you a word yet.” Jackie snorted in disbelief. To further help clarify he puckered his lips, making a kissy face at Aaron. “Oh-,” Aaron’s face went beet red. “This means love, doesn’t it?” Jackie held a paw up under his chin and giggled. “Well that should be an easy one to remember then.” Aaron looked down, scribbling his pencil as another addition was made in the notebook. Before he could look up, a rush of silky smoothness graced along his neck. Tiny breathes brushed against his face, and a strong presence had settled itself directly in front of him.

Aaron’s heart was pounding, droplets of sweat now staining the notebook paper. When he tilted his head up, Jackie’s nose was barely a centimeter away from his own. Jackie was panting, his tongue hanging from his mouth. ”Are you ok?” Aaron slid a hand along Jackie’s face, whose head bended to follow the petting. Jackie was warm from the neck up. Aaron could feel temptation beginning to grip him by his loins. He stirred where he sat and pushed Jackie away. “We really should be focusing on more important things.”  In an attempt to return back on track, Aaron held the notebook over his face, spacing himself away from Jackie’s.

Jackie whined, pushing the list down with one of his paws. With his ribbons he stroked Aaron across his body, sliding them against his neck, along his cheeks, and around his hands. Aaron was becoming dizzy, his vision blurring with intensity. He looked down at the notebook, which had become a jumbled mess of black scribbles. It was impossible to continue in this state. Aaron set the notebook aside, “Alright, you win.” Jackie squeed and pounced on top of Aaron, pinning him to his back.

Aaron struggled to breath with Jackie’s paws digging into his chest cavity. He pulled Jackie down, prompting him to lay on his underbelly and distribute his weight more properly. Jackie settled himself on top of Aaron, and the two laid in silence.

It started with Jackie nuzzling Aaron’s cheek. The pair could feel each other’s heart pounding with anticipation. Aaron held Jackie securely against him, and returned the favor by pecking on his face repeatedly, a tiny gasp slipping out with each one. Aaron then reached down and groped Jackie by his thighs. Jackie moaned deeply, his tail wagging slowly. “I, uh, I guess there’s one more thing we better check before finalizing this decision,” Aaron stammered. Jackie nodded excitedly, his ribbons bouncing.

The moment escalated when a stiff appendage poked Aaron from underneath his ribs. Jackie couldn’t help himself from beginning to perform a humping motion. Aaron cooed as he felt Jackie’s privates rubbing against him. “H-Hold up,” Aaron pleaded. He rolled Jackie over and sat up. Undoing his own belt, Aaron striped completely, removing his pants and shirt. Jackie’s mouth watered when he saw Aaron turn back around in all his nude glory. “Now we can really start.” Jackie readied himself and laid down on his back, spreading his legs.

Being provided the lead role, Aaron leaned himself over Jackie’s frame. He took both hands and rubbed them over Jackie’s exposed under belly, feeling him up and enhancing both of their sensuality. They breezed up past Jackie’s chest, and down low around his thighs.  Jackie was whimpering wildly from the amount of pressure inside his throbbing cock. Unable to bear such a pathetic sight, Aaron bent his head down between Jackie’s legs and opened wide. Precum already dribbled onto his tongue, creating a blended taste of sweet and salty. The shaft pulsed between his lips as Aaron moved his head and up and down. His mouth slithered around Jackie’s member, its conical shape perfect for wrapping around with his tongue.

Jackie pressed his front paws deep into the bed while his hind ones kicked wildly. His tail swiped back and forth against Aaron’s legs, and his tongue hung limply from his panting mouth. The moans he produced were long and deep. Aaron felt and heard every bit of Jackie’s response, encouraging him to force his throat in deeper and slower.  With his change in form came a change in size for Jackie, one Aaron was pleased to see be much easier to pleasure fully.

Aaron gently cusped Jackie’s testicals in his palm, swerving them about playfully. He was able to feel them straining from the inside and ready to pop at any moment. Jackie scrunched his face, grunting as he tried to hold it in as long as he could. In a desperate move he clenched his body in on itself, curling his paw digits, tightly closing his eyes, clamping his jaw shut, and straining every muscle he owned. What this resulted in was Jackie’s eyes rolling back into his head and his lungs collapsing in a blissful gasp.

Aaron’s mouth filled instantly. His cheeks bulged from the gooey mass, the penis which produced it curling upwards with tightness as it released. The salty sweetness from before tripled as every taste bud became slathered with it. He gulped loudly, requiring a couple or so before the load was fully drained within his throat, slithering down and creating a warm pit in his stomach. A few droplets still managed to seep out his lips and dribble onto the bedsheet below them.

Following the burst of intensity came a subtle calmness. Jackie had stopped squirming and whimpering, his body now choosing to remain still and relaxed, allowing for maximum focus on his afterglow. Aaron laid himself by Jackie’s side and the two of them wrapped themselves around each other. The pounding in Jackie’s chest slowed back to normal, meanwhile, Aaron could still feel a wave of excitement pulsing through him. With an unapologetic hardness digging into Jackie, returning the favor was now in order.

Jackie looked up at Aaron with a sly smile. He didn’t position himself over Aaron as was done to him, but rather, slithered his ribbons around his lover’s body like a pack of seductive snakes. They caressed his arms, legs, hips, calves, chest, waist, head, and most importantly, his penis. Aaron shivered as every centimeter of his body was graced with pleasure. Jackie securely tied a ribbon around Aaron’s privates and began stroking his silky soft ribbon up and down.

Aaron was much quieter in this vulnerable position then Jackie was, but his immersion was just as present as his eyes and face scrunched up tightly. He locked his hold over Jackie, seemingly unable to bear letting go. In Aaron’s embrace, Jackie rubbed harder and faster. Aaron’s testicals tightened and a strong fullness began to overtake his cock. It reached to his head which felt ready to split apart. A huge gush of cum exploded out, rocketing in violent spurts and soaking Jackie’s ribbon and general lower half. Jackie smiled warmly upon feeling the hot release slather his body, and that smile graced Aaron’s eyes when they slowly opened back up. No words were said as they both pushed their heads in and pressed their lips together.

The smooching and petting and cuddling went on as long as it could have. But while the all the excitement came down, so did their strength to fight away the sleepiness which still loomed behind their eyelids. Like curtains closing over a final act, the two gave way to the darkness of rest, still holding each other as tightly as a boy and his Sylveon ever could.

                                                                       ****

Aaron groggily woke up to the texture of skin underneath his arms, and half the bed space he remembered having not too long ago. Rubbing the blurr from out of his eyes, he looked down to see Jackie had once again returned to his old self. Laughing under his breath, he kissed Jackie atop his face, silently lamenting the soft fur he once could feel against his lips. Jackie stirred at the affection and followed Aaron’s examples as his eyes slowly drew open.

Despite their sleepy state, Aaron couldn’t hold back the first thing to pop in his mind. “What did you think? Wanna go back to being a Sylveon?”

Jackie had no trouble figuring out his answer, even with his foggy brain. He gleamed up at Aaron and nodded. The two hugged and kissed once more on the lips, their minds racing with the plans needed to get their new life together rolling. As it would turn out, this would be the last time Aaron would get to embrace Jackie as he currently was.
