Detzy and Nick Ashton

	*Nick Ashton twitched his whiskers as he poked his head out of the little mouse hole in the wall. The apartment complex had relatively thin walls, which made it easy for little mice like him to chew holes to get to people's goodies. In this case he was on the lookout for breadcrumbs, wedges of cheese, or really anything he could get his hands on. The kitchen was dark, a good sign for him, although he was cautious of the television playing in the room over. He'd never had any good experience with the larger folk, and quite frankly if he had his way he'd never have any sort of experience with them ever again. The little mouse skittered onto the tile floor, sprinting as he made his way for the counters. The counters were very high, too high for him to want to climb if he could avoid it, but the rumbling of his belly urged him to find something quickly no matter how much it took. He stuck close to the counter as he started to search the kitchen, he felt much too exposed if he was out in the open, not that the counters would help him much in the first place. He'd been doing this his whole life though, sure the people living here were massive, but although he stood only two inches tall, he was quick.
	*Detzy_Meerkat's apartment was modest enough, her kitchen filled with goodies for the mouse to take if he could reach them. Atop the counter a bowl of fruit sat by the window and the smell of cookies, either being baked or having just come from the oven wafted in the air. Her drawers were slightly ajar, presenting a nice ladder should Nick choose to risk it, though they were filled with metal pans and glassware warning to give him away with a clank or clink of the dishes should he loose his step. On the ground by the refrigerator was an old school mousetrap, a ball of peanutbutter gobbed onto the trigger. All these smells and sights offset by a lemon scent on the linoleum floor from a fresh mopping earlier. From the other room the TV could be heard to click over to another channel and the "stellar" voice action and music of what could only be a C-rated porn played throughout the appartment.
	*Nick Ashton kept one ear perked at all times, the ear that happened to be closest to the room with the television. Nick couldn't help but smirk as he saw the mouse trap, he was astonished that someone thought those would work on him. The peanutbutter seemed pretty nice, if he was desperate he would drag the trap back to the hole, trigger it and take as much of the peanutbutter as he could before the sound alerted the occupant of this particular apartment. He couldn't be quite sure who it was as the complex was fairly large, but he'd rather not find out. Getting hold of something larger to drag back into the walls would be much better for the little mouse, as he could survive for longer off of it and have to come hunt for food like this less often. The cookies were by far much too appealing, not only could he knock a few off the counter without attracting much attention, but they also smelled absolutely delicious! His little claws on each of his fingers and toes were unclipped, which allowed him to run and jump onto the sides of one of those drawers and cling with ease. The nimble little mouse navigated his way up the counters, getting halfway to his goal before... "Shit..." He muttered softly as he watched one of the precariously placed glassware start to shake with his leap. "Who puts away their glasses like that?" He cursed the already dangerously-close-to-falling-down glass. The crashing of the glass into another accompanied by a cracking sound sent the mouse in the backwards direction, he'd just fucked up. Maybe whoever lived here would be too busy getting off they wouldn't even notice!
	*Detzy_Meerkat turned off the TV at the sound of the crash. Sitting there on the couch she waited for any other sounds to signel someone's arrival. When nothing came she slowly got off the couch and walked towards the kitchen. As she rounded the wall seperating the kitchen from the living room Detzy looked around. The glass on the floor causing her to sigh as she turned around back into the living room to get a broom. "Where's that damn broom," she'd complain as she searched her closet, eventually realizing she'd left it upstairs when cleaning. The meerkat's footsteps could be heard walking up the steps then down a short hallway. The sound of running water seemed to suggest she'd taken a detour to the bathroom. A new prize however would make itself known as the toaster oven "dinged" a smaller slice of leftover pizza, freshly warmed and now sitting, waiting as the automatic door opened itself to keep it from overheating in the residual warmth of the oven.
	*Nick Ashton clenched his jaw as he hung to the side of one of the drawers, just out of sight of the massive meerkat. Could he make it to the hole? It would probably be a second of surprise from her if he jumped now, giving him a heads start... Before he'd finished calculating he could hear her walking away. That was it? She had assumed it was just an accident? The mouse let out a soft sigh of relief. He should just run back and hide, find a different apartment to go through. Wait until later at night, it would be so much safer... The rumbling of his belly was too much for him to bear though, especially with the smell of that pizza now hitting his nose as well. He was more careful this time, hurrying as he knew he only had only enough to grab that slice of pizza before she returned. He liked cookies more, but the pizza was bigger for sure. It didn't take him very long to get to the top of the counter, the desperate little mouse rushing towards the toaster oven. The handle to open the front stood an inch taller than him, but with a powerful leap he managed to get hold of it, his own body weight dragging it down to an open position. He quickly grabbed hold of the slice, moving to the edge of the counter to drop it down to the floor, the mouse planning to follow quickly thereafter by making his way down the drawer-ladder.
	*Detzy_Meerkat walked out of her bathroom and into the bedroom where the broom, dustpan and handbroom sat. Grabbing the three Detzy turned around and started walking downstairs. The sound of her footsteps echoing through the apartment as sped downstairs far faster than she'd walked up them. With broom in hand she walked around the wall into the kitchen, still not paying enough attention to her counter to notice the mouse on it, though she did notice that now her pizza had landed on the floor next to the shattered glass. She'd look around, at first not seeing anything suspicious and certainly not seeing Nick, though something on the ground certainly had caught her attention. Setting the broom against the wall Detzy turned back to the living room, but only for a second. When she returned in her hand was a dildo. The meer walked to the wall and plugged that obvious mouse hole with the sex toy, jamming it in enough that the drywall gave way to allow it in. "Well, he's locked out of the house for now."
	*Nick Ashton winced as he heard the 'thud thud thud' of her feet hitting the stairs in a hurried rush down. Why did she have to be so quick about it? It was a broken glass not a heart attack! The little mouse quickly ducked behind the toaster oven, while going inside would have been faster, the risks were much too great. His jaw clenched as he heard her stand still, obviously noticing the pizza on the ground. Twenty seconds more and he would have made it! "Fuck," he whispered to himself, he'd been in situations like this before and always come out on top, no reason to assume it would be different this time. He couldn't help but peak his head out as he heard her take a few more steps in the opposite direction as him, his brow suddenly furrowing as he saw the dildo in his hand. There wasn't any dildos for micros, but he knew what they were for. What in the world would she need one for right now? He watched, his eyes drifting across the macro's body in the process, as she bent down to shove the dildo into the little mouse hole, his heart jumping in his chest in the process. Shit she knew! He didn't know any other ways out! He bit his lip, she had work or something in the morning, right? Surely... Which meant if he could just go the night without her finding him, he'd have enough time to figure out an escape plan tomorrow.
	*Detzy_Meerkat walked back to the broom, grabbing it before standing in front of the mousehole, apparently talking to it. "And while you're stuck in there, I get to clean up your mess." the meer grumbled as she swept up the glass into the dustpan. Opening the lid to the garbage can she dumped the glass in before walking over to grab the pizza and toss it away too. Detzy walked over to the oven, dangerously close to Nick's hiding spot as she looked over her counter. The tray of cookies sat on the stovetop of the oven and she grabbed the tray and quickly put it inside, grabbing one to eat for herself. "At least I know he can't get in here." she'd mutter to herself as she shut the door to the cookies. She then walked over the counter towards the fruit basket, her back now turned to the mouse as she lifted the basket to place it onto the top of the refrigerator. Bending down she checked her mousetrap. Nope, nothing. Again she turned towards the toaster oven and walked towards it, stopping just short of an angle she'd have been able to see Nick from. The meer lifted open a small wooden basket. Inside it was filled with bread, Detzy grabbed a piece and turned, then reached over to the toaster oven that Nick hid behind. With a flick of her wrist she shut the door on it with the bread inside, and turned it on to begin toasting as she once again turned around her back to the mouse's hiding spot. Turning on her kitchen sink she began to get cleaning supplies ready to clean the counter tops that the mouse had surely climbed on
	*Nick Ashton wasn't about to feel guilty for what he did, after all if he had been able to work to get his food in a way that didn't involve stealing he would have. He was however incredibly nervous as she started to move around the kitchen, the sound of her chewing on food that he wouldn't get the luxury of eating, all the while his stomach growling for satisfaction, was almost too much for him to bear. He occasionally peaked his head out from behind the toaster oven, his hiding spot seeming to become more and more exposed as her rounds through the kitchen became more thorough. When he saw her getting ready to clean the mouse was slightly offended, he kept himself as clean as he could without access to the nice showers the larger folk had, he wasn't so dirty every step he took required cleaning! Although his offense was only the smaller part of the worry that began to grow, if she started to clean the counter tops his position would easily be exposed. He had to get down from here, somewhere on the ground where he could hide... If he could get under a couch or a dresser he'd be perfect. His heart raced in his chest as he saw her reaching down for the supplies, he had to make a move now while she was still distracted. He couldn't simply jump from the top of the counter without risk of breaking both his legs, so he dashed to go down the way he came up, his heart pounding in his chest as his jaw clenched so tightly in fear that it began to grow sore.
	*Detzy_Meerkat lifted up a spoon that was in the sink, sighing at the realization that all this and she still hadn't done dishes. In the reflection of the metal though she saw something dash behind her, "No mouse, but a micro." she thought to herself as she made sure to make a loud noise to get the mouse's attention before slowly turning around, making sure Nick would have plenty of time to hide behind something. Detzy yawn and started speaking to herself. "Damn, I'm hungry. Stupid mouse throwing my pizza on the ground." she'd say as she walked towards the oven again, opening it up to pull out three cookies. She walked towards the counter Nick was on, making sure not to look around too much to arouse any suspicion as she opened a cabinet above to pull out a paper plate, placing it precariously close to Nick's hiding spot. The meer set the cookies on the plate just in time for the toaster oven to ring out. Reaching up she grabbed another plate and put it down. Reaching to the toaster oven to grab the toast she placed that on the plate next to the cookies then walked to the refrigerator, passing Nick's hiding spot as she opened the chill box to grab some deli meats. Walking back to the toast she placed ham, turkey, provolone cheese, a tomato slice, then some lettuce on the toast before turning back. to her dishes. "I need to finish these before I eat though." She'd say, pulling a steel baking pan out of the sink and setting it on a drying rack next to her as she ducked her head towards the rest of the dishes.
	*Nick Ashton dived behind a roll of paper towels as the meer turned around quicker than he'd expected, the mouse clinging to the soft paper as he heard her start to move in on his position. What a horrible hiding spot, he thought to himself, she might want to grab these if she's eating. Still though it was the best he had. He would jump, if he had to. It wouldn't be fun jumping from the counter all the way to the floor, his lighter weight meant that he had less momentum going down, meaning he'd be less likely to break his legs compared to if it was simply scaled for a macro's size... But it wasn't something he wanted to do either way. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as she did her business so close to him! Everything she did was on such a monumental scale to the little mouse. The sound of her putting down a plate, the sound of her chewing, even the sound of her putting together a sandwich was all so loud to him, he didn't even need to see what she was doing to know what she was doing. The mouse boy bit his lip tightly as he thought of what to do... Stay put. That was the plan, it was the safest right? She could turn around at any moment and if he made his way to the drawers he'd be an easy target. He'd heard of macros that didn't care about micro's doing their business, they stole way less than what a macro would really care about anyway, perhaps she was that way. Maybe if she caught him she wouldn't even care... It was wishful thinking to keep himself calm at least.
	*Detzy_Meerkat kept washing her dishes. Every now and then a cup or plate would come out, but for now her back was turned to him, and the two plates with the cookies and the half sandwich sat just feet from the paper towels Nick hid behind. Detzy started humming to herself, seeming to get lost in her world as she continued the dishes, her back still turned away from him.
	*Nick Ashton furrowed his brow, the moment he decided to stay still was the moment she decided to keep herself distracted? The smell of those cookies and the sandwich was wafting toward him, almost overwhelming the little mouse with their scent. His stomach, obviously unaware of the life and death plight he was in, demanded that he get something to satisfy it! Fuck it, he came here for food right? The little mouse darted out from behind the paper towel roll towards the plate, intent on grabbing a handful of that warm cookie and getting himself behind the toaster oven instead, that would be better cover anyway, and he might as well get some food in the process!
	*Detzy_Meerkat's smiled as she saw the micro in the reflection of the baking pan she'd put out earlier. Her trap had worked, now she just needed to be quick about it. Almost instantly she grabbed the handle of a clear cake tray lid that had been in the sink and whipped around. Detzy knew she had to be fast and at top speed she slammed the cake down around the sandwich and cookies. She looked around inside, hoping that she'd been quick enough and the mouse had run right into it. She scanned through the clear glass for her "guest" to see if she'd gotten him or not.
	*Nick Ashton was almost drooling as he got in close to that warm cookie, the mouse dug his hands in firmly into it to pull out a large chuck. In the process he saw the macro whip around at speeds he thought were impossible for someone of her size! The mouse squeaked, dropping what he had grabbed and dashing for the edge of the counter, perhaps he could snag onto her legs as an easier way down! The edge of that clear cake tray slammed down in front of him, almost cleaving him in half! He quickly backed away, starting to run in the opposite direction. He was so quick in his haste that he actually slammed in to the edge of that clear tray on the other side, knocking himself onto his back. The mouse panted heavily as the feeling of being trapped squeezed in on him, choking out his normal thoughts, making him stand to his feet and scramble for an escape, even though the lid was secure all around him.
	*Detzy_Meerkat smiled as she saw the mouse inside scrambling around. She reached up to the cabnet and pulled out an extremely large cookbook, setting it on top of the tray to hold it down so Nick couldn't lift it when she let go. "Well there we are, the mouse that broke my stuff and spilled my 'za. But you're not a mouse, are you? Just a micro anthro." Detzy smiled as she knelled down to look at Nick at eye level. "You may as well calm down and eat. I made that sandwich for you, after all."
	*Nick Ashton could feel the gaze of the macro staring down on him, the counter top making him feel as exposed as ever as he was trapped within the clear confines of that tray. The little mouse was quick to realize how trapped he actually was, although it did nothing to alleviate the pressure and anxiety he felt, he at least stopped scrambling about to look up at the massive meer looking down at him. He couldn't keep eye contact for very long, his ears flicking back as he moved behind the tray of food. It did him no good, but instinctively it made him feel just a little better. He couldn't bring himself to eat, his body realizing the trouble it was in, was too busy pumping epinephrine into his system as opposed to making his belly rumble. All he did was bite his lip and watch the macro from behind the plate of food. She spoke to him as though he were an actual person, but he found it hard to believe she thought he was.
	*Detzy_Meerkat shrugged as the mouse trembled behind the food. "Alright, suit yourself," she'd say as she checked to make sure there was no way the mouse was getting out, securing it from sliding off the table and placing enough weight that he wasn't lifting it anytime soon. "You should know this cover's got a neat little rubber lining along the bottom." she'd say, pointing it out through the glass. "It's designed to keep cake moist, so it doesn't let any air through. I'd estimate you've got about half an hour before you start feeling the effects. I'm going to go watch TV for 25 minutes or so. And, if I don't forget about you, I'll come back after you've settled down and are willing to actually talk to me." The meerkat would turn away and walk back towards her living room. "Have a good meal."
	*Nick Ashton didn't say a word as he watched the macro check his new found prison, although he did listen to every word she had to say. The timer that she gave him made him nervous, even more so when she casually mentioned that she may forget about him! She was just joking with that, right? She couldn't actually forget about him, micros weren't that unimportant right? Nick finally emerged from behind his hiding place whenever she started to leave, giving him time to himself. He moved to the edge of the container, first trying to lift it up, squatting down and straightening his back, giving a mighty heave and... Nothing. Next he examined the seal, there really was a layer of rubber, and he couldn't make it budge either. He spent a couple minutes simply pacing about, then realizing he needed to save on energy he made his way to the plate once more. Being trapped inside the cake tray meant that the smell of those cookies and sandwich were almost overwhelming. He couldn't help himself, being hungry with nothing else to do the mouse started to gobble down food like there was no tomorrow, starting with the cookies first, then moving onto the sandwich.
	*Detzy_Meerkat lounged on the couch watching TV, after time had passed her watch rang out at the 25 minute mark, more than loud enough for the micro to hear. "Probably getting low on air now." She thought to herself, but silencing her watch she turned back to the TV, "This episode's almost over. He's got time." she thought to herself as a laughtrack rang from the television. Only a few minutes later she got to her feet and began walking to the kitchen, as Detzy came upon her capture she smiled, seeing the food eaten in front of her. "Well, are you going to talk with me, or am I leaving you in there for till tomorrow?" she said, pulling a stool up to sit on. The meer spread her legs as he let her arms rest on her knees, her hands folded so her head to rest on them as she looked at Nick in the eye. When the glass had broken she'd been completely nude watching her porn, she still hadn't gotten any clothes on. This gave the mouse quite the view of the meer as she smiled at him.
	*Nick Ashton felt rather good from the meal he'd had, he'd over eaten for sure, but he hadn't been able to gorge himself like that for a long time. He didn't have any way of keeping time, but after a while the mouse did start to notice he was feeling just a little bit light headed, it was almost as though he were slightly drunk, although he didn't have the experience with alcohol to make the comparison. When she showed up the mouse was sitting on the edge of the plate with his feet touching the ground. He didn't run when she moved in instead he watched as she pulled herself up to look at him. He was much too scared to be horny at the moment, but he still couldn't help but look her over as she situated herself right in front of him. Nick was also nude, although at his size it might have been harder to tell. They didn't make much clothing for micros after all. "Well ya kind of locked me up, not much for talkin' when ya do that... But what do ya wanna talk about?" He called out to her, both their voices slightly distorted by his confines.
	*Detzy_Meerkat reached up to the top of the case, cracking open a grated ventilation hole to let fresh air flow through into the mouse's prison as she re-situated the book so that it still weighed the case down. "For starters, what's your name? Silly to have a conversation where no one knows each other."
	*Nick Ashton felt that rush of cool air wash over him as the edges of that cage were lifted, he was smart enough to realize trying to make a dash for the open slits was a fool's errand though. The mouse instead rested his elbows on his thighs as he leaned his body forward, looking up into the macro's eyes. It was strange that she could see him entirely in a single glance, but he couldn't see all of her without moving his eyes. "Nick, that's what I'm called. What about you?" Nick was caught, he realized this. First time in his relatively short life, but it was a shocker none the less. Maybe she was simply interested in talking though, not every macro could be absolutely awful to micros after all. Perhaps his best bet was chatting with her.
	*Detzy_Meerkat nodded as she heard the name. "I'm Detzy, nice to meet you Nick." She'd say with a smile. "Normally I'd shake your hand, but given the situation, you'd just run then we'd have to play this game all over again. I guess the second question is how long you've been living in my place? I've seen evidence of a mouse around here before, but never really was given any reason to believe it was a micro."
	*Nick Ashton couldn't bring himself to smile back at her, however he did give a little nod instead. "Sure would be a shame to let me go, right? I understand." He clicked his tongue slightly in frustration. "I haven't been living in your place. The walls of this apartment complex span a long ways, I sort of just drop by wherever seems good. Apparently I made a mistake. Glad I didn't run into your real mouse friend though, at my size they're real buggers. Got some nasty teeth." He brought both his hands up to his face, his index fingers extended together as though they were two fangs to emphasize his point.
	*Detzy_Meerkat chuckled "No, not really a shame. Not like I have any real intention of keeping you. I'm just not that fond of stuff I paid for going missing or breaking. Between the glasses and the drywall I'd say I'm at least $45 out thanks to this little endeavor." Detzy adjusted her seat. "So here I am, with someone who owns me money, with no money, planning on running off on me instead of offering to work to pay their debt. Unless, that is of course, you're willing to work to pay me back. Maybe even stick around after and earn some food and board instead of swiping everything they eat?"
	*Nick Ashton couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine as she mentioned she had no plans of keeping him, after all that could either be good or bad... He bit his lip softly as she mentioned what he'd broken, he wasn't sure if 45 dollars was a lot or not, he presumed it wasn't too much though as she seemed to have a lot of drywall and a lot of glasses. "Not like you all leave notices asking for our help or anything. Ya think I wanna be sneaking around your kitchen like this? You wouldn't believe how fast I'd be willing to do some shit for food and a place to sleep, mainly the food bit though. Dunno what I could do, but if you're serious and not just fuckin' me around here, I'd try and pay ya back." Making a dash for it was still a serious consideration, and he'd take it right now if he could, but an offer for food and board was way too good for him to pass up if she was serious, although his inner cynic found it hard to believe.
	*Detzy_Meerkat grinned. "Honestly I've no idea what I'd have you do right now. But I'm sure something will come up." she said as she got to her feet and placed the stool back where it belonged. "But if we're going to open up this circle of trust, I'm fairly sure I need to start it." the meer said, she took the book off the top of the case and with a swift motion lifted it up off the mouse, setting it back down in the sink as she turned back to Nick. "Now Nick, here's your chance. Run away and keep living like this, or join me as a guest until I think about what work I have for you." Detzy put her hand out as if to shake his hand.
	*Nick Ashton widened his eyes as she actually lifted the tray off of him and moved away to set it into the sink, his ears perking up as a route to freedom opened itself up. He certainly could make a run for it, perhaps now he'd actually get away as well, although getting out of her grasp and actually hiding from her were two different things entirely. "For some reason I don't think you'd let me be if I ran... Besides, something of yours is plugging the hole I spent so long making." He looked at that dildo still shoved into his only escape. The mouse squeaked softly as he watched her hand eclipse his vision for a moment as it descended on him, stopping just in front of him, her fingertips pointed right at him. His brow furrowed as he stared, not sure what she was meaning by this, then he realized she was sticking her hand out for a shake. "Ya know makin' any sort of deal with you would get me laughed at where I'm from," he spoke as he stared at her fingertips, then brought his gaze up to look at her face, "I'm gonna trust ya got a sense of honor though, even thieves like me got honor ya know," He clicked his tongue once more as he put out a single, little hand that pressed right up against the pad of her middle finger, his little fingers giving it a slight squeeze as a hint of a smile pulled at the corners of his mouth.
	*Detzy_Meerkat smiled as she very slightly lifted then lowered her finger for the shake. "Very well then. I guess you can start by fixing my wall. I've got some plaster already that we just need to get mixed up." the meer says as she sets her hand flat on the counter. "Jump on, it will be faster with me carrying you." the meer says as she looks over at her dildo plugging the wall. "I figure at your size you should be able to get it done in about two hours. At $15 an hour, you'll only owe me for about one more hour after that and we'll figure out what to do then."
	*Nick Ashton furrowed his brow just a little bit as she spoke about getting plaster on the wall. The mouse had never really done anything that 'normal' sized people did for labor, ask him to shimmy a wall or sniff out some food and he would be all on that, but asking him to put up plaster was very foreign. He wasn't about to say anything though, he could figure it out as he went along right? The mouse stared hesitantly at the palm of her hand, it was bigger than he was, if he put himself in there he'd be completely at her mercy. Thinking about it, he was at the moment, but at least he felt free. He pressed the palms of his hands into her fingers to lift himself up, grunting a little bit as his feet now pressed against her soft fur and flesh. The mouse was heavier than he looked, although he didn't look that heavy to begin with. "Yah, sounds fair to me." He couldn't stop it, but now that he was in her hand she could feel his body trembling ever so slightly, the combination of fear and anxiety overwhelming his body, even if he was acting cool about it.
	*Detzy_Meerkat took him, and for a second her hand closed around his body, the sensation of lifting and movement would come over Nick as she lifted him and then set him on her shoulder. "Hold on tight, I need both hands and I'm not gonna be responsible if you fall off." she says as she begins to walk towards the hole in her wall. The meer bends over and pulls the dildo free, tossing it into the living room where bits of the drywall crumble as they land on the couch. "You doing alright up there?" she asks as she walks again to her closet. Opening the door she fumbles around a metric shit ton of junk as she digs towards the bottom. "Here it is." she says as her muscles tense and stain to lift the heavy bucket up and then carry it over to the hole in the wall. "Now to figure out what to use as tools..." the meer says as she looks around. Darting back into the kitchen she grabs a paper cup before returning to the bucket and setting the cup onto the lid. And for a spit...." the meer thinks for a while before an idea pops into her head. She heads upstairs, Nick still on her shoulder, and goes into her room. "What you need is... the meer opens her closet and pulls out another bucket. "A lego should work just fine." she says as she pops the top off and pulls out a bright blue brick. Back at the hole Detzy mixes the plaster into the paper cup. "It's basically a putty. Fill the hole with the putty then use the brick to flatten it out so it doesn't look like there was ever a hole." She says as she sets him down. "Oh and Nick, if you're gonna run out on me, use the damn door."
	*Nick Ashton clenched his jaw as he felt her fingers close down onto his body, surrounding him on all sides with her warm furry grip. He wasn't claustrophobic by any means, but having his entire being in the grip of a single person was rather scary regardless. The mouse quickly found himself onto a solid stretch of orange fur, which he gripped tightly into as he looked forward. It was an incredibly interesting view up on her shoulder like this, to him it seemed like he was several hundred feet above ground, yet this was what she saw all the time! On her shoulder he covered so much ground so quickly, the mouse able to see her actions from her point of view. He couldn't imagine what it was like living at this height constantly, it was making him dizzy just being a passenger! He was quiet as she moved around, his senses overwhelmed by the sudden change in point of view. The tour of her apartment was interesting to him, as he'd never got to see what people her size actually lived like. It seemed incredibly cozy, he couldn't help but spur up feelings of jealousy as he saw her plush bed and couch, much more than the mouse had ever managed to get himself a hold of. He wondered if living with her wouldn't somehow be a windfall on his part, as he imagined her nice things could easily be downsized to, well, his size. His dreaming was brought to a halt as he felt her grip around him once more, like a roller coaster he was brought down to the ground and released, causing him to blink a few times as he regained his senses. "I don't think I'm tall enough to reach it, Detzy." It was strange calling her by her first name, but he felt it was an appropriate response. "I'm gonna take you on your word, honestly getting a fair living for a fair amount of work is all I've ever really wanted." He paused, "I'm not gonna run, you've been fair thus far. Go and finish your show or whatever it is you're watching, I'll manage here." He looked at the hole he'd made and the tools he had to fix it, he figured if he'd torn through it that easy then it shouldn't be hard to repair.
	*Detzy_Meerkat nods as she turns, "Beware the fumes, they can get nasty. Call me when you're done and we'll get the plaster outta your fur. I'd imagine a hot bath or shower is probably a luxury you'll deserve." she'd say as she walked away. Again the TV sounded as a cartoon began to play.
	*Nick Ashton found himself left alone with the tools she'd given him, the mouse taking the situation in fully. He could just walk back into that hole as though nothing had ever happened, he'd eaten, he could get by for a few more days at least. The apartment complex was big enough that he didn't have to ever come back here again. It was a tempting choice quite frankly. What she'd offered him though was something he'd never even thought of. Living somewhere where he didn't have to worry about being caught or killed or any other horrible fate that could greet him on his day to day routine. Somewhere he didn't have to worry about the very basics of his life. It was something he'd never even thought of, but now that it was on the table it was much too tempting for him to pass up. He didn't fully believe her to be honest, but even if there was a chance of her being honest, he was going to risk it. The mouse looked into that cup with the mixture, and to the lego he was given, then started to get to work, the best he could.

It took him a little over two and a half hours, but when he was finished he looked at the mostly smooth bit of drywall with a smirk. He'd managed to cover up his hole pretty well, it was satisfying to see something broken repaired like this. The mouse had bits of the plaster dried onto his fur, a product of his labor. Now came the part of calling her. "Hey! I'm finished!" He yelled out, putting down the plaster coated lego and walking towards the entrance of the kitchen, "Hey, can ya hear me? I finished!" He called as loudly as he could, not knowing how far his voice could actually carry.
	*Detzy_Meerkat would smile as she heard his voice. Turning off the television she got up off the couch and looked down at Nick. "Well, Guess I'll inspect it and see how you did." She'd say as she walked over. Bending down to look at it she smiled. "Very good. A coat of paint and it will look like new." she'd say as she put the lego and cup on top of the bucket of plaster. The meer would lower her hand down. "Now to get you cleaned up. You look like the last time you took a hot bath was... well... never?" she'd say as she waited for him to climb into her palm. I even figured out a way to fill the tub without you drowning." The meer would say as she waited for him to climb aboard.
	*Nick Ashton heard her footsteps hitting the floor, sending vibrations through the pads of his feet. The mouse took a step back, then as she entered the kitchen he followed her back to the former hole. It was a little nerve racking, the mouse covering up his only reliable method of escape, but for some reason he felt confident in this. The little mouse beamed at the praise she gave his work, after spending so long on it he was rather proud of it, it was the first time he'd really worked with his hands to 'create' something, rather than simply move something or destroy something. Once more Nick climbed up into her hand, settling in to sit on the palm of her hand. "Can't say I've ever had a hot bath, you're right," He blushed a little bit, normally it wasn't something he'd ever be embarrassed about, but it was his first time talking to someone who enjoyed such things on a regular basis, he couldn't help but feel like he needed to hit a higher standard. "Oh really? I figured a sink would be more than enough bathing room, how do ya figure you can fill a tub for me?" The feeling of her lifting him up off the ground was intense, but at his size seemingly everything she did was!
	*Detzy_Meerkat pulls out a plastic container. "With a boat. And yeah, a sink would work, but trust me there's a reason I was cleaning today. Got dishes in the kitchen and I haven't even started on the bathroom sink." The meer says as she walks up the stairs to the bathroom. Opening up the door and quickly plopping the plug into place. "But it's been a while since I've had company that's already seen me naked, so why not go all the way with it. I haven't bathed with someone in far too long." The meer would say with a smile, slight blush forming over her cheeks. Detzy turns the water on, and as the hot water hits the cold tub the steam that forms up around them quickly fills the room. She places the plastic container under the spout, letting it fill up so that Nick would be chest deep when sitting down, and after checking to make sure it floats. "Huzzah, we have a mouse bath." The meer turns off the water before setting nick down into floating bath, following him into the tub herself with a sigh. "Ah, now that's more like it." she says with a smile.
	*Nick Ashton furrowed his brow just a little bit, but he didn't say anything, he hadn't grown very fond of plastic containers over the course of the day. "Suppose there's no sense in trying to get clean in something that isn't clean..." He paused for a moment, "Oh, just so ya know... I can't swim, so don't make it too deep." Nick was content to grip tightly into her fur as she carried him, watching intently as she got to setting the bath. He blushed a little as well, "I suppose you've seen me naked too, so we're even then right?" The warm water from the faucet hit his fur in a way that made him let out a moan, he had literally never felt warm water against his fur before, and the feeling was incredible! The clear plastic made for an interesting boat, Nick sat in the pool of water provided for him, while feeling the waves of the larger pool rock his little boat. He looked up to see her larger body step feet first into her own bath, the mouse getting a very clear and full view of her body before she slid under the water. "Looks like it works!" He chimed out, feeling his boat rock as she settled into the water, the mouse only able to see her head and anything else she poked out of the water. "You gotta be pretty rich, right? You were talkin' about money before. I'll be honest I've never really lived outside of these apartments, I didn't realize I was living with such rich folk. All this fancy baths, kitchens, bedrooms. It's pretty incredible honestly."
	*Detzy_Meerkat laughs with a chuckle. "Yeah, right. I'm actually barely middle class. Rich people don't live in apartments. They live in mansions. Buildings bigger than two of these buildings all to themselves." the meer said as she reached over for some furwash. Dabbing just a small amount into her fingers she reached over towards Nick and put the shampoo on his chest. "Scrub it into your fur. It'll get you clean. " She'd say as she poured a handful of it into her own paw and began scrubbing herself. "And rich people have other's who cook for them and clean for them. But that's life, all you can do is accept your role in a rigged system and do what you can to beat the odds and try and make out better than you came in."
	*Nick Ashton rolled his eyes with her response, he couldn't believe she was just middle class. He even scoffed at her description of mansions, he'd lived in this building his whole life and still hadn't seen all of it, how could anyone live in anything bigger than this? "How the hell could anyone take up all that space? Even at your size there would be way too much room!" Nick raised an eyebrow as a finger of hers came to poke him softly in the chest, leaving behind the shampoo. To him it was a strange, slick substance that smelled good, a little fruity even, but he wasn't quite sure what it was. He was a little hesitant, but following her lead he started to rub it into his own fur, it felt satisfying, but he wasn't quite sure why. "Where's a micro's role in the system I have to wonder. Shouldn't be too hard for me to end up better than where I came in at though. How about you, you doing better than you came in at?" The water in his own personal tub started to rinse in with his scrubbing, leaving behind the bits of plaster as well as other muck that his fur contained.
	*Detzy_Meerkat smiled. "So far yes. My parents were... foolish. Ended up living on the streets when I was kid. Didn't even have a place like this. As for where a micro's place in the system, honestly I'm not sure. The general idea is you sell your time and talents to achieve goods that you can then sell to afford to buy the time and talents of other people so that they can make the goods for you to sell. If you've got no talents that someone's willing to buy, then you need to come up with a new good that someone is. However, I suppose if enough micros go together they could possibly leave the system. Make their own. Make it large enough that no one would be able to ignore them anymore." The meerkat dunked her head underwater to get her face, coming back up with enough of a ripple to rock Nick's boat. She looked down at Nick's water. "Damn, you really haven't ever bathed, have you? You're water's black." She'd comment, reaching over to lift Nick out as she sat up. Using her free hand she reached over and dumped the dirty water into the sink before refilling it with the water from the tub and setting the mouse back in. Now for shampoo. It'll make your hair nice and soft." She'd say as she dabbed barely a pea sized drop of shampoo into her fingers. Detzy would pull Nick's tub close to her, her breasts hanging over the lip of it as she dabbed the drop into his head. Swirling her fingers around on him she rubbed the foam in between his ears. Smiling as she let go of the boat to drift away back between her legs. "there ya go. Rinse that out, the lay down. The warm water's relaxing. It helps your muscles to heal.
	*Nick Ashton nodded his head slowly as he got the micro lesson of economics, he understood the gist of it, although he couldn't manage to put together the big picture of it all. "I dunno, I think it'd take a few hundred of us just to make one of you... And quite frankly we're not all that willing to work together, so I doubt it's gonna happen. What about you though?" He cocked an eyebrow as he asked, "I hope you come up with something for me to do, something that I can put my talents to. Not sure what I got that ya can pay me for, but I can certainly try." He gave her a small smile before looking down at the water he was in, blushing a little bit with her comment. "Not like there's baths hidden in the walls ya know," He piped up to defend himself as he was lifted up for just a moment, watching as that water was dumped out and a new bath was made for him. The mouse watched as those large breasts of hers came closer to him, blushing as they peaked over the lip of his boat. His eye shut tight as her finger pressed against his head, pressing that shampoo firmly into his hair, rustling it up nice and good. The foam started to drip down his hair and into his eyes, causing a little bit of a panic from the newly-bathed mouse, he quickly shoved his head under the water and pulled out with a gasp, as though he were drowning. His head shook back and forth rapidly, to dry out his fur and hair, followed by Nick settling back into the water. "This does feel really good.. Thank you very much, I don't think I'd ever get to take a bath without you. I'm all wet but I feel so..." He rubbed a hand across his chest, "So nice." He wasn't sure how else to call it, Nick taking her advice and settling back into the water. "Do you sleep in the water? It's pretty comfortable."
	*Detzy_Meerkat laughed, "Nah, you get all pruney. if you try that." Her watch chimed the hour. As she lay down. "Oh, shit. My show's on." She'd say as she hastily stood up in the tub, pulling the plug as she pulled the shower curtain to a close. "Don't freak out, but we don't want to let the soap and dirt that was on us to settle back in from the bath. So we're gonna rinse off. Turning the water back on as it drained caused ripples in the tub that rocked Nick's boat around her shins, and with a flip of the plunger the heavy shower of hot water fell down upon them. It was a high pressure showerhead that hit Detzy on the chest as she rinsed off, the droplets falling down around and onto Nick as the bathwater drained away.
	*Nick Ashton flicked his head back as she started to stand up and pulled the plug, her legs were on either side of his little boat, her body towering over him as though it were a sky scraper. He couldn't help but stare though, he'd never looked at a macro in this way, but she really was quite gorgeous. The mouse clenched his jaw and turned away just as the water droplets from her shower started to run down her body, filling up his little boat with the fresh water as the water in the tub started to sink, forcing him to stand up in the plastic container as his body sunk lower and lower in the tub. "You wanna let me out?" He called out as the water in the container started to rise beyond his comfort level, leaving him chest level, rising up to his neck in water.
	*Detzy_Meerkat bent down, grabbing Nick and lifting him up into the shower. The hot water hit him all over as he was placed in the center, but soon it was over as the meer turned the water off and stepped outside the tub. She wrapped the towel around herself, covering most her torso, the meer's breasts squeezed tight in it so she could slip him between her cleavage. "Stay there, I'm going to dry my hair then head down stairs." The meerkat did just that, wrapping another towel around her head and scrubbing the water from it, trusting Nick to get the idea and use the towel that also held him up to dry himself. Draping the towel across the rack she headed downstairs, turning on the television to another soft core porn before letting Nick down onto the couch. The meer threw the towel across the room into a dirty laundry pile.
	*Nick Ashton still wasn't used to this picking up and being put back down again, he felt his stomach leap as his body was rocketed up into the air to stand high above the ground. With the water being shut off the mouse was securely in her palm, dripping wet. Nick blushed rather hard as he figured out just where he was when she let go of him, two soft and damp walls of soft fur squeezing him gently as she spoke down to him. Nick was quick to pick up on the idea of towels after seeing her start to dry her hair out, the little mouse rubbing his body against it to dry himself to a comfortable level. It was only when he was set back down on the couch that he was able to get a feel for his surroundings, he could see the cushions of the couch decline in where the large meer sat, her furry side quite visible to him. He could see the side of the couch as well as part of the living room, but the thing that caught his eye most was the television. The combination of the large, naked meer next to him as well as what he saw on the screen couldn't help but get him aroused. "Is this normally what you guys watch? I've never stuck around long enough to watch the television."
	*Detzy_Meerkat laughs as she turns around to lay across the couch, placing Nick square inbetween her knees. "Nah, most people only watch comedies and dramas that where people keep their clothes on. But, if you haven't noticed I'm a bit of a perv." the meer said as she turned her head towards the tele. "Speaking of being a perv though, I've been thinking of how you can pay off the rest of what you owe me." she says with a blush. "You see, I had been in the middle of something when you showed up, and now that my dildo is covered in plaster, I can't really use that." The meer would wink at Nick, and from where he sat she had a fair idea he'd be "up" for it. On the television a male fox began eating out the raccoon babe, "We'll call this 'educational programming.'"
	*Nick Ashton had a slight blush that lingered on his cheeks as she suddenly turned herself around, her legs looming over him before situating themselves on either side of him, giving him a good view between her legs. His gaze glanced between her and the television, where he could see the two start to go at it. He felt pretty at ease with her at this point, or at least more at ease with her than any other macro he'd met. The combination of her and her offer caused his own sex to spring into action, suddenly stiffening between his legs as a dead giveaway that he was quite into what she was suggesting. The mouse started to make his way up the couch, towards her own sex, "I don't know if I can do what he's doing... But if you'd like me to repay you, I don't think I can think of a more fun way." The little mouse could feel the heat radiating from between her legs, Nick moved to hesitantly and gently press his hands against her lower lips, giving a soft squeeze as he pressed his hands up against them.
	*Detzy_Meerkat reached down and pointed at her clit. "Nick, porn's always an extreme example, focus on the magic button, the rest will fall into the place." she'd say as she lay her head back. "Even at your size I'm sure you're tongue will do just fine, heck as rough as people my own size are, you may just be perfect." The meer's and reached down and lifted Nick to the top of her slit, her free hand twerking at her breasts as she waited for the mouse to do his work.
	*Nick Ashton was honestly unsure of what he could do at his size, he didn't have too much experience with girls his own size, let alone any of her size! His eyes followed her hand as her finger pointed at her clit, the mouse blushing a little at having to be told so bluntly. He squirmed just a little bit as her hand reached down to grab him, positioning his body up against her warm sex, the top of her slit suddenly accessible to the little mouse. His mouth lolled open as he slowly brought his tongue up to her clit, at his size it was large enough he could focus quite easily on it. His hands pressed to either side as he firmly licked across it, judging her reaction before pressing his face against her slit. The heat and scent being this close to her was incredible, that alone being motivation enough to focus himself on pleasing her 'magic button'.
	*Detzy_Meerkat moaned out as her clit was licked by the micro. It was perfect, if a little light handed, but she hadn't expected too much from that. The meerkat let her hips gyrate, giving Nick a ride himself as he went to town on her. The warm liquid lust would begin to leak from her slit as he performed, soaking his waist and legs that hung by them. A loud moan echoed out of her throat as fingers on the same hand holding him up spread her lips and dipped into her folds. Suddenly everything was a little warmer as Detzy pushed Nick's hips in between her folds. That warm liquid pooling up around his body. In spite of the slickness, though he stayed there as she moved her hand so both were playing with her breasts leaving Nick in otherwise the same position he'd been in on her palm, just now with his feet and hips insider her lust.
	*Nick Ashton felt that loud moan of hers echo throughout her body, her clit twitching against his lips and tongue as he ran across it. Nick suckled gently on it, although he always kept himself going slow, wanting to measure her reaction before going any further. She was faster than he was though, the mouse letting out a sudden moan of his own as he felt that warm, slick inside of hers suddenly squeeze down on his hips and legs as he slid inside of her. That fur that had just been cleaned a few moments ago was now slick with her juices. His fingers dug tighter into her lower lips, his lips parting in order to suckle on the tip of her clit. Her inner walls were gripping onto him tight enough that even though his entire body began to grow slick with her fluid, his head was still positioned right at the top of her slit. His own cock was throbbing hard, although with the way his body was positioned he couldn't easily reach it, especially without threatening his grip.
	*Detzy_Meerkat moaned out again, "Yeah that's the ticket." she'd mutter as he played with her clit. Canting her head to the side the meer noticed her dildo discarded on the floor. With Nick's feet inside her it gave her an idea. Detzy's hand reached below onto Nick's head, stroking his head fur as he went down on her. As her fingers traced along his back though a sudden push caused Nick to get slurped much further inside the meer's folds. Concentrating her keagles Detzy's folds made an almost peristalsis motion as Nick felt himself getting pulled in by the ripples of her inner muscles and soon his head sank in between the folds of her lips leaving him sucked deep inside and getting pulled deeper.
	*Nick Ashton was lost in the sensation of her insides squeezing down on his legs and hips while his upper half pleased her clit. He wasn't quite sure how long it lasted for, as soon he felt her large fingers gently pressing against the back of his head. Nick let out a sudden squeak as he felt her push her fingers down hard though, he was unable to resist as he was already rather lubricated up, his chest and his head were quick to sink into the folds of her sex! In a moment she became his whole world, he couldn't see a thing, but he could feel her muscles squeezing down on all sides of him, hot and wet with her excitement. He let out a yell, but it was drown out by the sound of him sinking deeper inside of her. He could hear her heartbeat thumping all around him, picking up speed as she became more excited. The mouse hadn't realized just how intense being sucked inside of her like this would be, he could hardly even breathe!
	*Detzy_Meerkat moaned out as her fingers now took their turn dancing on her clit. The meerkat's folds pushing him down deeper into her. A sharp moan sounded out as he pressed up against her cervix, and with a grit of her teeth the mouse found himself deep inside her womb. The open chamber was surprisingly airy, though the the air was quite stale. Detzy interrupted her fun to pat her belly. "You all right in there?" She'd as with a sly smile on her face as she rubbed her belly.
	*Nick Ashton couldn't figure out where he was exactly until he felt his feet pressing right up against her cervix, that tight entrance taking a lot of work before he managed to squeeze through! Inside her womb was entirely different than before, the little mouse however felt quite tired from the journey, so he laid himself down. His fur was tingling all over, sending rather enjoyable sensation down his spine as a hand moved itself to his cock. He heard her voice, although it was quite distorted he could still understand. The mouse responded by nodding, even though she couldn't see, "Mmmh," He let out that pleasurable, affirmative sound loudly, hopefully loudly enough she could hear. The heat and pleasurable sensation running across his body made him relax, his eyes closing as he breathed heavily, his hand running across his cock as he arched his back, his fingers gripping the inside of her womb tightly.
	*Detzy_Meerkat considered telling him that... she hadn't actually meant to do that... she also considered telling him that her womb was far from a safe place to be. That the enzymes in her body would break down his body until he was nothing more than more cum for her orgasm, or that through some strange magic of it he'd retain thought and consciousness up until the minute he was shot out as her orgasm. She didn't tell him that, though. It would make the next few minutes far too confusing. "Close your eyes Nick. As I masturbate my pleasure with be shared with you. You'll feel what's in my loins and when we orgasm, it will be the best of your life." she told him as her hand traveled back to her clit. The soft, slow stroking of her hand on the already moist sex felt heavenly as she went over her clit. She could feel the slight bump in her body growing softer, surely he still retained his form, but by now his outer layers would be mostly her lust.
	*Nick Ashton hadn't thought to consider any of the consequences of ending up where he had, the mouse was too caught up in the moment. Her words echoed throughout her body like an other-worldly presence, Nick was quick to follow her instructions though, closing his eyes and laying his body flat against the flesh of her womb, his hand leaving his own cock as he felt her pleasure tremor throughout her body and into his! His body twitched as, for some reason, he knew that her fingers pressed back up against her clit, causing him to let out a soft moan. He felt his body becoming slick with her juices once more, although this time he hadn't thought to consider where they had come from. His fur was slowly melting into her slick pleasure. He parted his legs and rolled his head back, letting out another moan as a wave of her pleasure coursed throughout his being. Had he continued to jerk himself off he'd have realized he was losing more of himself by the moment, his fingers and other extremities quickly being digested into a large amount of cum, already leaking from her womb to mix with her normal juice.
	*Detzy_Meerkat pushed her fingers into her folds for more lubricant on her clit, a circular motion of the small nub causing her to grind her teeth in pleasure. Her womb seemed to rumble as it broke down the mouse inside in mere minutes. In the darkness of her body Nick couldn't see himself and what he'd become, but if he could he would have known he had mostly melted into a soup of lust inside her. Only phantom limb syndrome kept him experiencing "himself" as a body but as Detzy neared her climax he'd feel himself getting tugged by a force so much greater than him. The meerkat's muscles stiffened, her legs folding up to her waist as she pressed down hard onto her clit. The spasm of muscles and ecstasy running down her spine and into her torso. Nick would feel himself rocked with pleasure across his entire being as the womb tightened, a bright light flashing across his eyes as he was propelled outwards towards freedom. Detzy shivered as her orgasm finally came down, the micro that had been in her now gushed in liquid form matting the fur on her legs and staining her couch. Weakly she reached over for the towel that still sat on the floor and with a sigh as the final waves of orgasm washed over her body she began to wipe away what was Nick.
	*Nick Ashton knew at some level what was happening, his 'body' had become almost completely unresponsive on him. The only thing he could do was feel pleasure, or more specifically feel her pleasure. The mouse's body had completely melted down and had already begun to mix with her other fluids, yet it felt completely natural to the little mouse, as though becoming part of her orgasm was what he was destined to be. There was a part of him that wanted to fight back, wanted to yell and try and escape, yet at this point it was much too late. Both physically and mentally he had given himself up to her, he didn't have much time but it was something he was okay with. The pressure of her orgasm building up was suddenly released with a orgasmic pleasure that Nick felt through every fiber of his being, or what was left of it. He felt his being now a jet of cum rushing through her and realized this was it, a light suddenly flashing as the cum gushed out from her lower lips. As suddenly as he saw his freedom, it was gone, along with all of Nick's worries, concerns, and fears. All gone in a sudden blast of orgasmic pleasure that both of them felt. The last of the micro ended up dripping from between her legs and getting smeared onto that towel, the micro not even having a final word of protest about it, only an orgasmic moan.
