#36 of Patreon Stories

Back to the party boys! I decided I wanted to do a sort of analogue to Bathtub Mixology coming off the Endo ending of Hidden in the Spotlight instead.

Brian and Mads chat in the car on the way home from the party and Brian makes a proposal. Mads is a bit more self-aware in this timeline, considering he isn't a wibbly pile of bleating gel, so there's some more communication before the noms.

Contains: Texting the Guy Sitting Right Next To You, Vore Talk, Hunger, Discussing Feelings, Oral Vore, First Time Pred, Accidental Digestion and Weight Gain, Sentient Pudge Bulges, Tummy Massages, Flustration and Inexperience, Calling Someone More Experienced, Oops He's a Switch, Chumby Pred Thot, Discussion of The Kink Trope That This Story Is Built Upon, Nonexplicit Nudity, Purposeful Digestion, Vore Tattoos, Reformation, Feeling Empty, More Vore Teasing and That DikDik is Such a Tummy Simp Now.

The fat tag there is because I also made an endo version of this story here.

This was written for my Patreon! Again, people who pledge $5 or more can vote on polls. $15 or more you can add to the suggestion doc, which is where the ideas that get voted on in the polls come from.

Right now, all unpublished Patreon writing is available to read for Patrons!

Han stifled a yawn as he drove from the house the party had been at towards his passengers' homes. In the passenger seat sat David, the trim crow bobbing his head idly as he looked out the windows. In the back seats were the two smallest of the group, a ferret named Brian and a dik-dik named Madison.

The diminutive antelope was staring down at his phone, the new contact he'd entered shortly before leaving the party highlighted.

David peeked back over his shoulder and across to Madison. "Hey, I'm pretty sure 'not yet' on calling that guy extends until sometime tomorrow." He chuckled, the flesh at the corner of his beak pulling into a smirk as he returned his gaze forward.

The jackal at the wheel sighed. "I'm sure Mads is fine now..."

With a cawing laugh, the crow tilted his head back in a teasing pose. "Yeah, the whole party knows Mads is 'fine' after that display~"

Brian kicked the back of David's seat and turned his attention to the dik-dik. "Hey, you doing okay?"

Madison was blushing, but he hadn't looked away from his phone while the two in front talked about him.

The ferret looked up and down his smaller friend. The lithe male stood up maybe to Brian's lower chest on a good day, and the ferret was pretty short among anthros. Though Madison was clothed, the mustelid couldn't stop picturing his bare body as it had been shown for much of the party. Well, not technically bare, but exposed. Well. Not exposed either.

The dik-dik had spent most of the party in just his underwear submerged in a gel-tiger's transparent belly.

As he was thinking about this, Brian's stomach let out an empty rumble. He hadn't had much in the way of snacks provided at the party, but that wasn't it. The ferret blushed. He realized he was feeling... predatory. Seeing his friend in someone else's gut... had it made him hungry for the tiny antelope? He blushed, looking away.

The ferret's phone chimed. He dug it out and found a message awaiting him from Madison: "It was just so -safe- in him." After a second another message pinged in. "I know it's weird to say that."

Licking his lips, Brian typed back. "So are you like," He paused, trying to think of a way to put it, before continuing. "gonna try to be prey now?" He tapped send, glancing back over at Madison.

The dik-dik looked pensive, before his hoof-tipped thumbs got to work on the physical keyboard his tiny phone possessed. The message was sent shortly after. "Maybe. I'd have to try a non-goo gut to see if I liked it."

Brian could hear his heartbeat pounding in his ears as he read those words. He swallowed, and then typed rapidly. "Wanna try mine?" He hit send.

Madison spoke for the first time he entered the car. "What?"

The ferret's heart sank at hearing that. Before he could say anything in response, the car decelerated.

Han pulled up to the curb in front of the building that Brian and Madison's apartment was on. "Okay guys, here we are." He shifted into park and looked back over his shoulder.

The pair in the back seat both unbuckled. Brian slipped out his side onto the curb and Madison followed, small enough to walk rather than scoot along the seat.

David unrolled his window, sticking his head out as the ferret closed the car door. "Hey, it's nearly 4 in the morning. You two should sleep in."

The dik-dik huffed a bit at the advice. "Well, I'll try." Madison turned to walk towards the door into the building.

"I'll make sure of it." Brian insisted to David, waving him off. "Sleep well guys." He turned and followed his roommate, catching up easily with his longer legs.

Han waited to see the ferret using a keyfob to buzz the door and open it up before he shifted back into drive. "Night, guys!" He called out, before the car pulled away.

The elevator was already at ground level, so the ferret and the antelope got in together. A button press later and it had closed on them, the feeling of a pneumatic piston driving the tiny box towards the top floor filling the space.

Madison broke the awkward silence. "So, were you just fucking with me or are you really offering your stomach for evaluation?"

Blushing deeply, Brian looked down at the suspicious glare of his shorter roommate. "Well, I've never tried predding but..." He swallowed, fidgeting with his paws in front of his chest. "Seeing you in MK... uh..."

The dik-dik perked up in surprise. "You were jealous of him?"

This elicited a series of stammering vowel sounds from the ferret. He cleared his throat, composing himself somewhat. "N-no. Envious. That's totally different."

Madison crossed his arms, looking unconvinced. "So, you weren't thinking about how I was just gonna go off and be eaten by someone else and not you?"

Brian's stomach growled loudly, causing both in the car to blush. The elevator reached their floor and the doors opened.

The pair lived in an apartment set atop the building with a roof courtyard between the several units. Madison shivered a bit as the windchill was higher up there, blowing right in through the elevator doors. He stepped out and headed towards their apartment.

The ferret followed, awkwardly doing his best to not look down at his roommate as he dug his key out again. He unlocked the front door and opened it, waiting for the smaller male to go through.

Madison walked into the apartment and stopped at the end of the entryway, looking back at the mustelid.

Brian entered and closed the door. He reached up and tapped the thermostat, waking up the heater.

The dik-dik was hopping a bit in place, arms crossed over his chest still... but his eyes were on the ferret's midsection, not his face.

"Uh..." the mustelid blushed a bit.

"Look." Madison started, before looking up to meet his roommate's eyes. "If you've got like, relationshippy feelings for me that's okay. You just gotta tell me."

Brian quivered, his blush growing brighter. He wondered if he might be able to just be a space heater for the smaller male at this rate. "I ah... I didn't think I did until I saw you in MK..."

The tiny antelope furrowed his brow, unconvinced it seemed.

Sighing, the ferret continued. "I saw how much you liked it." He turned his head away bashfully. "I... I wanted to make you feel like that."

Cracking a smile, Madison tilted his head and leaned a bit more into the ferret's field of view. "And you're gonna ensure I sleep in tomorrow? With your gut?"

Brian fidgeted, a whine rolling out his throat as his stomach let out a needy grumble. "I mean.... At our size difference I should be able to get you down easily..."

The dik-dik was silent for a moment that felt entirely too long to the ferret. "You know..." He broke the silence. "I wasn't thinking I'd strip for two different guys tonight."

The mustelid perked up, trembling a bit as his stomach twisted on itself, as if he hadn't eaten in days.

"C'mon... lets do this on your bed." Madison turned and walked past the kitchenette and the living room to the hall to the bathroom and the two bedrooms. He walked past his own bedroom to the ferret's own, peeling his shirt off as he entered.

Brian could feel his salivary glands kicking into a higher gear at the sight. Was he really this hungry, but just for Mads?

The tiny antelope hopped up onto the bed and wriggled out of his pants. He perked, a blush coming to his cheeks as he heard another needy sound come from the ferret's stomach. "Wow... Three times is a pattern... I didn't realize I was that appetizing to you."

Biting his lip awkwardly, the mustelid walked to the edge of the bed. "Uh... how do you want to do this?"

Madison thought for a moment, before standing up on the untidy bedding. "Lay down on your back and open up."

Brian turned and flopped back onto the bed, his cheeks still radiating heat from his incessant blushing. He opened his jaws obediently, looking up at his tiny roommate.

The dik-dik hesitated for a moment, looking down into the fleshy, dripping jaws. It was far different than stepping into a goo's body. Teeth and tongue and flesh and darkness...

After a moment, the ferret had to swallow his accumulating drool, exhaling a waft of humid inner air afterward.

The warmth of the breath washed over Madison, snapping him out of his reverie. He carefully eased one hoof in, trying his best to not put his weight somewhere that would trigger a gag response, before he took his other hoof and stepped fully into the parted jaws. The little antelope wriggled his legs a bit and bleated softly in surprise as the throat engaged around his hooves.

Brian's eyes widened in surprise at the feeling, mind reeling as he unconsciously swallowed again and again. A tremble ran through his whole body, centering at his vociferous stomach as it called out again. He could feel his throat stretching to accept his smaller roommate, tilting his head back further rather automatically.

Madison braced his hands on the bedding above the ferret's head, but the necessity was short-lived. The next swallow dragged his hips into the throat and he lost his hold. He let out another bleat as he was dragged past pearly teeth by the greedy peristalsis, bringing his arms in to his sides quickly.

The mustelid snapped his jaws shut without thinking and swallowed more intently than before. Madison's upper body joined his legs as a bulge, distending the ferret's throat greatly and displacing slightly beneath his collarbone. The remainder of the lump traveled down into his chest on the next swallow and his trim stomach swelled out slightly from the added mass.

Pressed fully into the snug chamber, the antelope oriented himself on his back and rubbed up towards what had to be the front of his roommate's torso. "Well.... Warm, soft and wet... those are similar... it's a lot darker though." The other main difference was the sounds: deep, resonant breaths paired with a rapid heartbeat somewhere above his head.

Brian writhed on the bed, his thighs grinding together as endorphins rushed to his mind in bursts of pleasure from each squirming motion within his stomach. He wasn't even aware he could feel things there until he had something that moved on its own tucked away. "Woah..." He murmured.

Hearing that word resonate around him over the thudding pulse, Madison smirked in the dark. He pressed out more firmly, bending one leg and lifting his hoof to shove out with that as well. "You like that?"

He received a loud moan in response, the ferret slumping out loosely as tiny handprints and a hoof distended the fur of his midsection just below the chest.

Madison kept this up for a bit, before relenting. The warmth and soundscape were getting to his up far too late mind. He yawned and settled into a cozy curl. "Yeah... definitely gonna sleep in..."

Brian yawned as well, before sighing contentedly. "T-thanks for letting me do this, Mads..."

The dik-dik kissed a stomach wall lightly. "Night big guy."

The pair drifted off together like this, with the ferret's legs dangling off the end of his bed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Brian winced and woke up as the crawling sunbeam finally reached his closed eyes. "Mmmn..." He put one hand over his eyes and sighed. As long as he was awake, he could at least get up.

The first thing off that he noticed was that he was laying sideways on his bed with his legs dangling off the side. The second was that he'd slept in his clothes. The third was only discovered when he moved to sit up. His belly seemed to take up more space than he was used to, complicating the movement. As his paws met the floor, he looked down.

Then he remembered the night before.

Eyes wide and suddenly feeling quite awake, Brian rubbed over his stomach, searching for the lump Madison had been the night before. "Are you okay in there?" He asked, unable to find anything but just a rounder belly than he was used to.

As he pressed in and probed deeper, a warmth suffused his waistline, spreading pleasantly. He swallowed nervously at finding no sign of anything solid in his guts, only causing a few contented burbles from his intestines.

Which were accompanied by a faint moan.

Brian perked up, pulling his paws away. He tugged his shirt up away from his fluffy paunch, grasping his plumpness in both hands and giving an experimental squeeze.

Another moan. This time it was clear to the ferret that it wasn't from in the room... he heard it in his mind.

"Mads?" He blushed, relief mixing with a sort of pleasured warmth that was making him flustered. "Are you okay?"

"Mmmnn... Comfy..." The dik-dik's voice sounded in his roommate's mind. "You said you were gonna let me sleep in, stop pokin' me..." He sounded drowsy, like he had indeed been poked and squeezed while laying in bed until he woke up.

Swallowing his nerves, the mustelid removed his paws. "Mads, I..." He tried to think of a way to put it, but his brain could only engage onto the bluntest way to tell his friend. "I digested you."

Free of any external stimulus, the plump ferret belly jolted as if struck, wobbling. "You what!?" Shortly after the verbal outburst, the surface of Brian's stomach stretched, just like it had when the dik-dik was giving him internal tummy rubs. However, these were more panicked struggles.

Brian moaned and grasped onto his belly with both paws, getting as much of that writhing pudge in his grip as he could as he trembled with euphoric warmth. He couldn't take the intensity for long, slumping back onto the bed.

His mind was filled with a confused bleat coming from his prey of the night before.

Blushing deeply, the mustelid relaxed his grip and stroked along his stomach, half soothing Madison and half guiltily luxuriating in the new pleasure of having taken his friend so completely. "Sorry, I..." He wasn't sure if he was apologizing for having digested the dik-dik accidentally or for how much he was enjoying it. "I don't know what happened."

Madison shifted slightly, with none of the frantic struggling motions of before. Hooves appeared again, pressing out with the tentative motions of someone testing their limits. Shortly after, the tiny antelope's face distended forth above his roommate's navel. "This is a weird feeling." As the words rang through his predator's mind, the dik-dik's jaws appeared to move appropriately in the simulacrum stretching the plump paunch the ferret now sported.

Brian wasn't watching, though. He had covered his face with the inside of one elbow. "Fuck..." He muttered to himself, curling his toes and trembling on the bed. The new sensations were overwhelming.

The awake adipose sank down to a smooth belly for a moment. "Sounds like you like that." Amusement tinged the voice, before Madison pressed out more forcefully, his whole head and both arms stretching Brian's pelt.

Automatically, the ferret clenched his abs with a low grunt. Instantly the shape of the dik-dik vanished as if it had simply melted away in a moment, elasticity causing the belly to wobble inward from the impact of the stretch getting released.

Madison bleated in alarm, sounding further away by the moment.

Brian moaned, another shudder rolling through his body. Somehow, he could feel that his roommate had been dragged deeper into his pudge... it felt wonderful.

Gradually, the tiny antelope managed to surface again, shoving a hoof out. "Hey!"

The mustelid's eyes widened as he realized just how scary that must have been, despite how good it felt. "Oh... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to." He decided to sit up, not realizing that would also engage his hidden abdominals.

Madison moaned softly as his predator could feel the presence of the dik-dik being drawn away from the surface again, but less intensely. He managed to keep himself close to Brian's pelt, though just his hooves could reach the skin for the moment.

Brian rubbed over his belly, conflicted. He was worried that if he did drag Madison too deep, he wouldn't be able to get back out. That is, if he could. He had no idea how to reverse what his body had done to his roommate as they slept. But he thought he might know someone who did.

One time when they were drinking together alone, Han told him that he was a pred. Told him not to tell anyone, but he eats 'cute guys' sometimes. This had led to some drunken teasing about how Brian might fall into that camp.

The ferret stood up, trying to remember where he left his phone. He took a step and bit his lip. Just the natural bouncing of his pudge felt good when it was made of someone! He looked around, then looked back at the bed. It had fallen out of his pocket there. He twisted around, causing a bit of a wobble on his middle as it tried to keep going when he stopped.

Madison's head, shoulder and hip distended the flesh as if he too had experienced the sudden stop, before sinking back in with the gut's jiggling. He bleated, "H-hey... keep it steady."

"Sorry." Brian blushed, settling the movement with one paw on his belly. Picking up his phone and navigating to the contacts, he found Han's number and dialed.

Han picked up quickly, but his voice was low and a little slurred. "H'lo...? Brian...?"

"S-so, uh..." Brian stammered in a mix of nerves and the waves of pleasure coming from his core. "You know how you said you like..." He swallowed nervously. "Ate cute guys?"

Han sputtered audibly on the other end. "You promised not to tell anyone."

"It's not like that!" The ferret winced. "I have a question about... that sort of thing."

Han's tone shifted from defensive immediately. "I mean, its not like I haven't seriously thought about eating you..."

Brian's cheeks flared up in a blush. He managed to make a few flustered vowel sounds, failing to form proper words.

The jackal laughed at the other end of the connection.

Clenching his eyes shut, the mustelid focused on the matter at hand. "I ate Mads and accidentally turned him into fat!" He blurted abruptly.

Han's laughter trailed off quickly. "Wait, for real?"

"Yeah." Brian opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, leaning back against the wall. "After seeing how much he liked it in MK's goo gut, I wanted to try. Mads said yes." The ferret explained, his hand drifting back to stroke along his paunch, able to feel that the dik-dik was listening in on the conversation, somehow.

The quiet giggle at the earlier tease from Han made it a bit easier to intuit, admittedly.

"We went to sleep with him just fine in my stomach." The ferret continued, trying to stay on task. "But when I woke up, he's just... pudge. I don't know what to do about it, I've never predded before! And it feels really good when he-" His explanation was interrupted by an abrupt moan as Madison made another bulge outward with his face, a teasing croon coming from his digested friend. The stretching motions sent tingles up the mustelid's spine.

"Wow, yeah..." The jackal fidgeted with the phone audibly. "First time is really intense. Is he okay? Can you tell?"

Brian nodded. "Yeah, he's okay, just frazzled like I am." He gave his belly a soft knead. "He's awake and we can talk to each other. He can move around and, uh... make bulges."

Han whistled. "First time predding and your prey can do that?"

The ferret's brow furrowed. "What?"

"I'll tell you when I get there. I'm almost out the door." Han explained. "See you soon." He hung up.

Brian let his phone hand slump down to his side. He looked down past his tugged his shirt up to address his belly. "Han's on his way, Mads. He's gonna help." He rubbed a bit more firmly over his pudge, unable to keep from smiling at the feeling now that he knew his friend would help.

In the back of the ferret's mind he heard Madison let out a soft happy bleat as he felt a familiar muzzle shape grind into his palm.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

After buzzing Han into the building, it was a short wait for Han to get to the door. Brian opened it for him, blushing a bit still.

The jackal was dressed in different clothes, notably skimpier than he had been wearing to the party, with the cut leaving his chubby belly exposed. He immediately reached to rub the exposed belly where his friend had forgotten to tug his own shirt back down.

Squirming bashfully, Brian whined through his nose at the feeling of someone else touching his sensitive middle.

Madison was apparently surprised by the sudden foreign touch, bulging out with a startled bleat.

"Damn, you make a cute pred." Han crooned, a smirk across his muzzle.

Blushing all the deeper, the ferret closed the door. "You said you were gonna help!"

"Right." The jackal reluctantly pulled his hands away. He started to count off on his fingers. "So yeah, different people call it different things; Sentient Fat, Living Fat, Sapient if you want to get really technical, swapping fat for pudge..." He waved his hand as he walked all the way into the apartment from the entryway. "Anyway, terminology aside, the emotional state and subconscious desires of the pred and the prey at the time of digestion can have a strong effect on just how prey adds to you."

He turned around, his own belly wobbling from the motion. "Usually that's more like... where the fat deposits, but it can also lead to your prey's soul being bound to the fat they made. If the prey's willful enough, they can control it, like Mads, but they're still stuck until you reform them."

Brian huffed as he followed Han into the apartment. "But I don't want Madison to be trapped in me!"

Han raised his brow and leaned in to poke the ferret's new paunch meaningfully with a finger. "But you want him yours, deep down."

Madison pressed a hoof at the finger. "Han, is that why I sometimes get dragged deeper?"

Brian frowned. "I don't think Han can hear you, Mads. I think you can only talk to me like this."

Han perked, then chuckled. "Yeah, though if you had some more guys on there they could talk to each other~" The jackal smirked at the flustered noise this got him. "What did he say?"

The ferret perked. "Oh... uh... when I flex my abs he gets... um... tugged 'deeper'?" Brian fidgeted, pressing his index fingers together as he found himself unable to meet the more experienced predator's gaze. "He was asking if that was because of... uh... my possessive feelings."

Raising his own brow, the canid rubbed along the side of the ferret's stomach gently. "I'm sorry you experienced that with no warning, Mads. Yeah... it sounds like Brian's feelings towards you are making his gut greedy to keep you."

The digested dik-dik bleated, sounding quite flustered himself to his predator.

Han gave the tum an affectionate pat, just enough to wobble it. "Now, to fix this situation." He walked into the living room a bit. "Either we could spend the next few hours with me explaining precisely how to reform prey and walking you through your first time..."

Brian followed, tilting his head slightly. "Or?" He asked after his friend trailed off. The ferret's head was swimming with the implications of what he'd learned so far as it was, he wasn't sure he could handle such a long lesson.

The jackal licked his lips. "Or I can eat you, digest you, and reform you both. Save the lesson for another day."

A high-pitched squeak escaped the ferret's mouth as he realized what Han had just said. "W-what?"

Sidling closer, Han's stomach made an audibly empty rumble. "I told you you're adorable... and I told you I eat cute guys~"

Swallowing nervously, Brian looked down at the larger male's rounder belly. "Do you ever have this... uh... living adipose?"

The jackal thought for a moment, then nodded. "One time, with a guy I really had the hunger for..."

"And you're sure you can reform us separately," The ferret looked up into his friend's eyes. "I won't just come back with Mads still wobbling on my gut?"

Han chuckled warmly, "Yeah. Saw a really hot act at a vore club where one dancer ate four members of the audience right there on stage, made a show of digesting them..." The jackal licked his lips, his stomach letting out another insistent rumble. "Then another dancer came up and ate him, churned him down too... finished out the set with the lucky volunteers reappearing in their seats."

Brian was terribly flustered by this point. The combination of watching his predatory friend drooling and audibly hungering for him and the rather lurid description. "But have you...?"

The jackal was rubbing over the ferret's stomach again, crooning soothingly. "It's all okay, Brian." His stomach called out to be fed once more. "You just need to come in for a little bit." As he finished the assurance, his jaws parted, wider than the mustelid had ever seen his friend's mouth open.

A whine escaped Brian's throat as he stared up into the fleshy, drool-soaked cavern just above his eye level, tongue draped over the jackal's lower set of teeth like a welcome mat.

Han teasingly raised one hand to point at the back of his throat, a silent instruction.

Blushing deeply, the ferret finally wriggled out of his shirt, before raising his hands up to the gaping tunnel underneath the more seasoned predator's uvula. Brian gasped softly at the warm flesh contracting around his wrists almost immediately.

The jackal mmmed warmly, curling his tongue around each arm for a moment. He placed his hands on either of Brian's hips and then lifted, swallowing at the same time. Han showed his practice through his technique, carefully but quickly driving the ferret into his gullet.

Brian writhed, closing his eyes as his head met the undulating throat flesh. He could hear the stomach down below call out for him again. In his mind that borborgymi wasn't just asking for food. Han may have skipped breakfast but he'd made it clear that he wanted the ferret for his meal.

As the newly paunched tummy began to get gently squished into by Han's jaws, Madison squirmed again. "H-hey, don't chew my ferret."

Said mustelid froze, blushing deeply as he heard Mads call him that. This of course just made it easier for the Jackal to take him deeper.

Han started to peel Brian's pants off as he licked along the belly, feeling it move on its own. He could hear the ferret continue to make flustered noises. The jackal tilted his head back, once he got the last of his meal's clothing off.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Han yawned, waking up from the food coma he'd put himself into. Before passing out he'd relocated to Brian's bed. He took a moment to surveil his body.

His own pants hardly fit anymore, seams straining on his hips. His halter top rode up even higher, part of his soft chest poking out, but most noticeably enhanced was his gut. Smaller than when it had a whole ferret inside, for sure, but bigger than when he'd arrived at the apartment by a great deal.

On the light-colored fur covering his stomach, he saw a pair of markings just above the navel. He took his phone out of his pocket with a bit of a struggle and used it to get a better look.

A simplified shape of a ferret was curled loosely around an abstract head of an antelope.

Han chuckled. "Wow... even digested you wanna cling on him, huh?" He sighed and stretched. As much as he wanted to luxuriate in his new weight and enjoy having his friends hanging off his body, he knew better than that. He closed his eyes and focused, exhaling.

He could feel his clothing shifting, fitting better as the weight he'd gained off the pair slimmed away. A warm tingle ran through the spot where the new markings had appeared. When Han opened his eyes again, the markings were gone and Brian and Madison were back, both laid out on the bed, to either side of the seated jackal.

Han stood up from the bed and cleared his throat. "You guys okay?"

Madison shifted, then shivered, reaching to pull a blanket around himself drowsily.

Brian opened his eyes, looking around. He let out a sigh of relief seeing the dik-dik bundling himself up. But then he felt a pang. The ferret sat up, looking over to Han. He rested his hand on his stomach, now as trim as it had been the day before. "I... I feel so empty."

The jackal's gut growled out as Han felt a similar pang. "Gods, seeing you preddy is cute..." He sat down next to the ferret, smirking.

"You're not gonna..." Brian blushed at the sound, remembering the lead-up to his own consumption.

At that, the jackal laughed and patted the bare ferret's shoulder. "Not right now."

The mustelid buried his face in his paws with a bashful groan.

Han chuckled, leaning back onto the bed between the two and bracing his hands behind his head. "You know, I wish I had thought to eat Mads first." He said wistfully, glancing towards the bundled up dik-dik.

Brian trembled as his stomach let out a loud growl, groaning on for a few seconds.

"Wow," The bigger predator chuckled. "Okay ferret belly... not touching your prey."

To the ferret's further embarrassment, his stomach immediately calmed down.

"Wow." Madison's eyes were open, now clearly out of his drowsy state. "Your gut really is clingy, Brian..."

Han turned his head back towards the smallest in the room. "I know right?" He winked. "I guess if I want to eat you, Brian's gonna have to already be in my stomach, waiting to snarf you up~"

Brian whined and slumped onto his back on the bed, paws still on his face. He couldn't deny just how appealing that sounded, but he was just so overloaded for the day.

At this point, however, Madison had sat up, bringing the bedding up around his bare shoulders. The tiny antelope was staring at the two predators beside him on the bed, eyes trailing between one belly and the other, cheeks still flushed deeply. He shivered a little... outside was so cold after spending the night as warm belly fat...
