A warm afternoon settles over the town of Serenity, bringing a peaceful and quiet mood to the town and its residents. At Apartment 256, I smile as I take in the view from my window, watching the cars driving past and the various folks out and about, and I rather enjoy the ambiance of the day. It's been relatively uneventful so far, which was quite nice for a while, but now I'm beginning to feel bored, and admittedly, a little lonely. A sigh escapes me as I step away from the window, opting to instead have some lunch before relaxing on my sofa.
Flipping through my phone contacts, I send a message to the group chat of my closest friends, inviting them to come over and visit if they're available. After this, I head to the kitchen, grabbing myself a glass of water and a small sandwich to munch on while waiting for replies.
While eating, my phone buzzes, and I quickly go to check it, but my excitement dissipates when I read the response from the pony, Eclipse:
-Hey! I'm sorry; I'm tidying my garden today. Maybe another time?
As I'm reading this, my phone buzzes again, this time from the bat named Radar:
-Can't today; I'm helping out at the air base today and tomorrow. I'll message when I've got more time, alright?
I shake my head and quickly reply to them that it's okay, before I finish my sandwich. Shortly after I do, I get two more notifications, from Smoky and then Bandit:
-Sorry, I'm real busy at the garage today, otherwise I would.
-Hey, I'm out with Enzo right now on the other side of town. And today is when Empy swims her laps in the lake; I doubt she'll be available either. Sorry, Kitty.
Sighing gently, I type that it's okay and that I'll find something else to do, before putting my phone away. My thoughts wander to some of my other friends, but I don't want to risk being told no by them, too; I know the more it happens, the more my mental state will decline. So I lay on my sofa, opting to watch some videos on my laptop.
Until, that is, I get an idea. I sit up, smiling softly – There is one more person whom I know is available and with whom I would love to spend the day.
Myself.
I scoot to one side of the sofa, then close my eyes and focus; after a few seconds, I feel a weight shift at the other side of the couch. I open my eyes and look over, and I smile upon seeing my own alternative form sitting beside me!
The housecat blinks, shaking his head as he gathers his bearings, before he looks over at me and chuckles softly. "Heh, well this is certainly one way to beat your boredom!"
I giggle and nod. "Yeah – I mean, folks say they talk to themselves because they're the only one who'll listen, eh?" Smiling warmly, I pull the cat into a tight hug, which he readily reciprocates while I say "Good to see you again, Ly."
And he chuckles, stroking my back with his hands. "Good to see you again too, Kitty."
It's quite convenient that, as a part of me, he doesn't need me to explain the goings-on or my wishes – He was there with me the entire time, until I brought him into corporeal being. And though he can't share my thoughts when he's in a physical form, I know he thinks exactly the same way I do, so it doesn't take a lot for him to piece together what's on my mind at any given moment.
My hand moves to his shoulder, slipping beneath his plain purple t-shirt to scritch his fur, and immediately he closes his eyes and leans against me, a steady rumble building in his chest. The only real difference between us, aside from appearance, is his more feline mannerisms – Which I am quick to exploit!
I let my fingertips scratch his shoulder for a few seconds before moving along his collarbone to his neck and chin, which earns me some loving cheek-nuzzles and even a soft headbutt! This makes me giggle, and I use my other hand to muss his unkempt hair and scratch behind his ears.
"You really are just a big ol' kitty cat, aren't you?"
Still purring deeply, Ly chuckles and replies "Ironic, considering you're the one named Kitty…"
The response, though expected, still gets me to laugh softly. "Hey, we gotta keep people on their toes, eh?"
"Speaking of toes, want to give mine a rub?" The cat opens a purple eye, smirking as he looks into my own purple eyes. "Unless you'd rather rub me somewhere else? I know what's on your mind, don't forget…"
Again, although I'm used to my own blunt way of speaking, Ly's offer still takes me a bit by surprise, and my scratches pause as I nod with a giggle. "Heh, well, I admit the 'elsewhere' option is quite appealing right now… Would you be up for-"
"Kitty, of course I'll let you give me a tummy rub from within."
A blush fills my cheeks as he responds like this. Yes, it's what's on my mind, but it still catches me off-guard, even though it makes perfect sense for him to do so. But I quickly shake my head and move my hand beneath his shirt, rubbing his soft, pudgy belly, gently kneading the padding there. "I mean, how can I resist such a lovely tummy?"
More deep purrs sound from the cat as I give his belly this attention, his eyes closing once more as he leans back, lifting his shirt to grant me full access to his abdomen. "Same way I could never resist your sweet, succulent strawberry flavors, you tasty human. My sweet Kitty."
He sighs softly. "These pets are good for right now, but do let me know when you've had enough of being outside me. I'll tuck you away and let you stay for as long as you'd like. Sound good?"
With no hesitation, I nod eagerly. "Perfect – Thank you, Ly."
"Mmhm, sure thing."
I continue to rub and massage the offered belly, lightly teasing his navel with my finger, but after a few more minutes of purring without speaking, Ly opens one eye as his stomach rumbles. "Mhhf, I think someone heard us…"
The vibration makes me giggle through my blush, and I nod in agreement. "So it seems… How about I give it what it wants, and don't keep any of us waiting any longer?"
The cat smirks, taking his shirt off completely to bare the striped fur of his upper body. "I'm down, and I know my stomach is too…"
I tilt my head softly. "What size do you reckon I should be? I'm happy to do basically whatever."
"Hmm…" Ly thinks for a moment, tilting his head to the left, then to the right, before offering his suggestion. "Twelve inches sound good? You'll have room to move in there, but you'll still be nice and snug. Perfect balance."
A snort escapes me, and Ly facepalms even before I say "You just want your Five Dollar Footlong, eh?"
"Gah, I walked right into that one, didn't I?"
At precisely the same moment, we both reach out to boop each other on the nose, and when we receive our boops, we stick our tongues out to blep at each other. We stay like this for a few seconds, before we both crack up laughing – We truly are one and the same.
Once we've collected ourselves, I smile, nodding to the feline. "Twelve inches does sound good to me. You ready?"
Ly nods. "I am, you tasty human."
A shiver runs through me – He really knows how to push my buttons. Which only makes sense, after all; beyond specific references to our respective species, they're exactly the same buttons he has!
I close my eyes and focus, allowing myself to shrink from my height of six-foot-one down to a mere one foot tall. My clothes fall from my body as I shrink out of them, but I pay it no mind; my attention is on getting myself to the correct size. Once that's accomplished, I climb out of the pile of clothing on the sofa, giggling and waving up at the cat.
He grins, carefully picking me up in his soft-furred hand, using his other hand to gently stroke my small form. "Heheh, I didn't know you could get even more adorable, but here we are!"
Giggling, I nod. "Indeed! And you look particularly pretty from this perspective, yourself…"
"Oh, hush – The only perspective you'll be having soon is the inside of my stomach."
"So you say, yet here I am, not inside you."
Ly's eyes narrow as he looks at me, a quiet scoff escaping his throat. "Man… Are we really this much of a little shit?"
I laugh, gently caressing his index finger while he holds me. "Only when we want to be."
"Hmph. Maybe I should just eat you and get it over with."
"Perhaps you should – Though you know it's only going to make me keep going while I'm inside you."
"And you know that's only going to make me want to digest you and keep you for a while."
My cheeks redden at this, but I smirk and retort "Don't threaten me with a good time."
There's a momentary pause as Ly looks me over, his eyes narrowing as he grins. "Listen to me, you tasty Kitty. I'm going to swallow you and send your adorable self to my belly. You can give me a nice tummy rub from within if you want, but I am going to digest you. My stomach is going to melt you away from your physical form, and you'll be padding out my gut and my hips, while your essence stays trapped within me for as long as I feel like keeping you. Understand?"
Without missing a beat, I nod. "Yep, sounds about right."
This time, my blunt and nonchalant reply catches the cat off-guard, and he snorts softly as he responds "Good, as long as we're on the same page."
The feline's grin grows further as his stomach audibly growls again, and without further hesitation, he opens his mouth as widely as he can, revealing the interior to me.
I shiver in his hand as I take in the sight of the deep indigo flesh, admiring the wet tongue resting behind his pointed feline teeth, in addition to the ridged palate, elastic cheeks, soft velum, and most importantly to me, the dangling uvula swaying idly in front of the rippling abyss of his throat. It's certainly an enticing view, and one I'm eager to get closer to!
After a few seconds of idly showing me his mouth, Ly brings me closer – Before pausing and rotating me, opting to take me in feet-first! I giggle softly, though I decide not to say anything; instead, I hold onto his hand as he brings my feet past his lips and into the warmth of his maw.
Carefully closing his mouth, Ly lets out a muffled "Mhhf" as his tongue makes contact with my skin, stroking softly and warmly to take in my raw flavors – Mainly strawberry, with an undertone of lightly salted meat and my more natural taste. Having showered recently, I know I'm nice and clean, and he certainly seems to appreciate the preparation as he inches me deeper into his mouth, his purrs growing stronger as he eagerly licks all over my legs!
The cat's tongue is surprisingly soft, far smoother than one might expect of a feline; Ly's tongue feels only slightly rougher than my own human tongue. It makes the firm licks much more pleasant than having wet sandpaper dragged against my skin!
Ly continues working me deeper into his maw, and as his lips rest at my waist, I feel my feet cresting the back of his tongue, ready to dip into the waiting esophagus. The flesh here quivers and flexes, keen to accept me within, just as eager to swallow me as the feline's tongue is to lick me!
And it doesn't have to wait any longer, as Ly raises his head and takes a shallow swallow, pulling my feet and about half of my shins into his gullet!
I huff, shivering as I brace myself by placing my hands on his lips, feeling my feet being squished together by the powerful muscles of the feline's esophagus. The muscles tense before contracting again as he gulps a second time, now pulling me into his mouth up to my neck, and into his throat up to my thighs!
I know Ly could easily gulp me down in two or three swallows, but he's taking his time to ensure we both enjoy this together.
His tongue works over my belly, pressing against my own pudgy tum while he shivers, the steady purring conveying to me just how happy he is in this moment – And my own sounds of pure enjoyment let him know my own happiness to be able to share this with him!
I feel Ly's tongue slipping out of his mouth to cradle my head, before he takes a deep swallow, pulling half of my torso into his throat, hiding me completely away from the outside world and leaving only my head, chest, and arms in his mouth.
Without hesitation, I give his tongue some gentle rubs with my hands, even pulling the muscle close to me in a warm hug, letting it squish against my body – Much to Ly's amusement, going by his chuckle. He lets me love on his tongue for a few moments before he tilts his head back and takes one last, deep, slow swallow, sending me completely on my way to his belly!
Gripped by the feline's strong esophageal muscles, I'm left with hardly any room to even wiggle as the peristalsis works me deeper bit by bit into his form. The squish of wet flesh fills my ears, and the thrum of his heartbeat, the steady whooshing of air moving in and out of his lungs, and most prominently, the firm vibrations of his contented purring all surround me in quite a loving ambiance. I lose myself in the moment, focused solely on the cat's happiness – The happiness I'm giving him – And I smile, my eyes closing as I let myself be carried along.
Though I don't have to wait for long to reach my destination, as I feel a tightness at my feet when they run into another ring of muscle. Ly's esophageal sphincter holds firm for a second before yielding, allowing me to slip past into the waiting chamber beyond. I spill out into his stomach, and the sphincter squelches shut the moment I've been pushed beyond it, trapping me within the cat's belly.
I blink and look around – Not bothering to question the logistics of how I can see in here – And I admire the folded rugae of his stomach walls as they idly shift, caressing my form while they move passively like this.
"Comfy in there?"
I chuckle, placing my hands on the soft stomach walls, giving them a gentle caress. "Oh, very much so. I'd ask if you're enjoying yourself, but your purrs kind of give it away."
"Shush, you."
"Why don't you make me, eh?"
"Don't tempt me – I know where your kitchen is; I'll get something to send down in there with you."
"Uh-huh, sure." I snicker, pressing my hands against the walls around me, kneading them warmly and lovingly. We like to tease, but I still love him dearly, and I know he loves me every bit as much. And his steady purring shows he loves my efforts immensely, just as much as I love to give them! I'm happy knowing he's happy, and I know he's happy knowing I'm happy too.
Self-love is a wonderful thing.
After some more time spent massaging his stomach, I feel the muscles beginning to grow noticeably more active, kneading and squishing against me. I also become aware of the thick fluid beginning to pool at the bottom of the organ, tingling me as the cat's belly works it all over my form, and I shiver warmly and excitedly.
"Mhhf… Ly… Your stomach…"
I hear a few gentle, muffled thumps, and I can tell he's patting his belly. "Yeah, it's about that time. Get your rubs in while you can; you're not going to be solid for much longer, Kitty…"
I press my hands against the springy, rubbery walls of the chamber, feeling as they have a fair bit of give before they readily push back against me, making sure I stay in place while the stomach works to break me down.
It's a fairly steady process – Ly isn't often a predatory feline who catches live prey, but he is still a naturally carnivorous feline, and the two sides more or less balance each other out.
The tingly sensations radiate through my body, giving me the feeling of being sat close to a warm fire, and even as I feel my body beginning to lose cohesion, I continue my rubs for as long as I can, massaging the stomach walls as they work me down like the food I am.
A creeping numbness becomes noticeable in my feet and rapidly spreads up my legs as I succumb to digestion, my form growing less solid with every passing moment. As the numbness reaches my body, I feel an immense wave of exhaustion hit me, and I let my arms fall to my sides with a faint splat into the fluids soaking into me. Barely a few seconds later, I drift off, falling asleep as the last of me melts away within the feline's belly.
Just before I completely black out, though, I feel a faint sensation of being pulled away from my body, my essence being held by the cat as he ensures my safety – And I soon find myself being brought close to his own essence, the two of us sharing a psychic embrace before we merge together, returning once more to being one single individual.
I let myself acclimate to being in this feline form, and though Ly is the one mainly in control, he's still me, and we share our thoughts together once again.
"Heh, that was quite lovely," I say telepathically to him. "I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did."
Replying telepathically to me as well, he agrees. "Oh, most definitely."
"Good, I'm glad."
Ly pats his belly, and this time, I can feel it as though he's touching my own stomach (which, essentially, he is). "One of these days, I'm going to have to have you eat me, you know?"
I chuckle. "As long as I don't choke on your fur, of course."
"Enough saliva will mat it down – You'll be fine, I've no doubt. I'll be sure to keep my tail snug to my body, too."
"Heh, fair enough. We can discuss this more next time, eh?"
He nods. "Fair enough. I admit, I'm quite curious to see inside a human belly while I'm in this form."
"Oh please – You're curious to see inside anyone's belly."
"You're one to talk."
"I never said I wasn't."
Ly pauses, then chuckles in defeat. "Heh, suppose I can't really fault you. Bellies are nice – Even my own."
"You got that right, heheh…"
He smiles, heading to my kitchen to pour himself a glass of water, and I smile as I feel the cool liquid filling his belly as he gulps it down.
"Love you bunches, Kitty; I hope you know that."
"Love you too, Ly. Now and forevermore."
"Now and forevermore."
