Run Like theWind 2 Written by Leo_Todrius Commissioned by poliwirl100

The sound of feet thumping down the wide staircase echoed through the empty halls, coming at irregular intervals and picking up speed. Dustin's hand slid along the guard rail for support, trying to keep himself from toppling forward. It had been two years since Dustin's life had changed forever, but he'd never expected to become clumsier when it came to his time living as a human. The young man reached the base of the stairs and heaved a quick sigh of relief, turning around to walk between the outside edge of the stairs and the wall before emerging outside. As he stepped onto the brick ramps, his image reflected on the glass doors of the English building.

Dustin was a fairly handsome senior. He was five foot nine and his hair was positively lustrous, a perfect blend of blond and brown with a touch of hazel mixed in to give it depth... and it was a natural color as well, at least since his transformation. The only aspect of his style that wasn't natural was a bleached streak of blond on the left side of his head; the hair styled to stick out a bit. Dustin looked around with a bit of curiosity at the quad before him. While there were no bells on a college campus, there was a near-silent marker of time that came at steady intervals. He always got out of class a bit early so people wouldn't see him tripping over his own feet but he did enjoy watching the campus as it shifted from a quiet stillness to a calm flowing river of people filing in and out of all the buildings, working on unseen times and schedules.

"Hey there." Came a reassuring voice from behind Dustin. Dustin's eyes sparkled and a grin flashed across his lips as he turned to face the love of his life, Andrew. Andrew was still working in campus security, just as he had when Dustin met him. Andrew's black hair was fairly short, though just long enough to style if Andrew ever so desired. Andrew moved over and leaned against Dustin without further word, pressing his lips to his mate. Dustin melted into the kiss, their lips prying apart as their tongues danced for a moment. Finally Andrew broke the kiss and smiled.

"Hey there." Dustin replied softly, his voice a husky whisper. Dustin was still putty in Andrew's hands and so very much in love. The two gazed into each other's eyes, which in reality was rather easy given that they were the same height and had a similar build. Most of the students filed past Andrew and Dustin without a second thought, moving about their day. They had been an inseparable pair, almost always seen together between classes for two years. Still, some of the freshmen stood with wide eyes at the public signs of gay affection. It was their first week and their perceptions were being challenged in numerous ways. Andrew took Dustin's hand and the two started walking, heading down onto the cement path that ringed the quad, taking the four shallow steps down to the lower elevation as they moved away from the tree lined slope in front of the English building.

"I... was asked to do a short check on the parking lots. With all the arriving freshmen moving in, they wanted some enhanced security." Andrew said after a moment. Dustin smiled.

"It's fine, I can check my mail and wander through the campus store. Is Max helping?" Dustin asked. Andrew nodded.

"His student security group is really taking off. It's easing workload for the hired security and crime is way down because the students know that there are those among their midst working for law and justice." Andrew chuckled.

"I still remember the kind of law and justice you showed us." Dustin cooed, leaning to kiss Andrew's cheek. Andrew nearly purred.

"I won't be long." Andrew said, patting Dustin's ass before he took the narrow path between the library and the music building, following the curve of the creek to head to the largest campus parking lot. Dustin smiled to himself, crossing the bridge and moving before the square in front of the library, taking a left to get to the University Center. It was a stalwart building, three stories tall and made of more cement and glass than all of the other red brick buildings. Dustin trotted down the four steps and opened the heavy door, moving into the building.

The amount of people in the UC was more variable than anywhere else on campus. Some days it was deserted, others it was flooded. It was certainly a flooded sort of day with all the new arrivals and families. Dustin glanced at the campus store and decided to try going in later. There had to be at least fifty people in there, most of whom were picking up their textbooks for the year. Dustin turned the corner and moved for his mailbox off in an out of the way aisle. He slid his key in and turned, opening up the tiny slot to draw out a few letters. Dustin sorted through them before locking his box back up, moving back into the UC itself.

"Dustin?" came a distantly familiar voice. Dustin looked up and easily found the owner of the voice. Standing part way across the room was a man just a touch taller than Dustin himself. The man stood out quite a bit from the usual college crowd. He wore scuffed black boots and worn black jeans, the knees looking rather frayed. He had a black leather jacket and his head was shaved... but Dustin knew if his hair had been grown out, it would have been a very light blond. Dustin remembered Matt from middle school, especially the man's cloudy gray eyes. It seemed that he was just as much of a metal head as he was before.

"Matt, is that you?" Dustin asked, moving over with a grin. Some of the freshman around were surprised to see someone approach the man. Dustin knew better. Matt was the kind of person that seemed tough on the outside but he was really caring and rather easily hurt, but Dustin remembered more than anything how much he loved to have fun and make other people smile.

"In the flesh... Do you go here?" Matt asked with a grin. Dustin nodded.

"It's my last year. What about you? I haven't been missing you all these years, have I?" Dustin asked. Matt chuckled.

"No, this is my first and last year. I just moved back to the area... My boyfriend wanted to come back here anyway and it seemed like a good transfer." Matt shrugged.

"Your boyfriend?" Dustin asked in surprise. Matt blushed a bit.

"Yeah, who would have thought it... Turns out I'm gay." Matt shrugged.

"So am I... But it's sweet. I always knew your heart was soft enough to be open to anything." Dustin smiled. Matt blushed even more. Dustin gestured to the door and Matt followed, the two moving out o the university center and back up the few steps. Matt decided without the crowd around that he could feel more comfortable talking.

"He's really an amazing guy, I'm very lucky... What about you?" Matt said. Dustin had to grin.

"More than lucky... I must have done something right in a past life; I had a miraculous stroke of luck, like my boyfriend stepped out of a page of ancient mythology..." Dustin said, nearly swooning in memory, meaning to imply that Andrew was like a Greek god. Matt, however, had taken something else out of it.

"I... Uh, that's... kind of what happened to me too. Devon's really unique, I mean... More unique than anyone I've even heard of." Matt said softly. Dustin quirked an eyebrow.

"More than you've heard of? Is he a satyr?" Dustin joked, though it struck rather close to home given his own secrets. Matt chuckled a bit at the joke, though he jumped a bit when his cell phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out and checked the text, grimacing, "Oh man, I have to go, I'm late..." Matt muttered. Dustin reached into his pocket and withdrew a piece of paper and a pen and began scribbling out an address quickly.

"You should come by for dinner. We can catch up then. You can bring Devon too, I'm sure we have a lot to share." Dustin smiled. Matt took the note with great awe.

"Dustin, that's really amazing... All these years and you invite me to dinner. You really are a great guy." Matt smiled, "I'll see you for dinner. Good seeing you again!" Matt said, moving into a jog, heading off toward the edge of campus. Dustin watched him go with a smile on his face before he turned and made his way back, meandering through campus until he took the path leading to the large parking lot. Before he could make it all the way there, he spotted Andrew on his way back.

"Got done early?" Dustin asked. Andrew nodded.

"The parents of the freshman heard why I was there and decided that they'd work together so some of them were always in the parking lot while the kids took the stuff up, that way there would be eyes on everything. It worked out pretty well. Get any good mail?" Andrew asked, moving to walk with Dustin.

"Just junk mail, but I did bump into an old friend from middle school. We caught up a little, he told me a bit about his boyfriend, I invited them to dinner." Dustin said.

"A friend? That's great!" Andrew grinned. He really was happy to hear of old friends. When he'd met Dustin he'd been in short supply. Max and Zack, their centaur roommates had been bullies until Andrew showed them the error of their ways. Now the two boys were nearly house pets, though they had truly gotten their lives back on track.

"I better stop at the store on our way home. I'm going to have to do even more cooking than usual; we've got a lot of stomachs to fill." Dustin smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll help." Andrew said. Dustin smiled, leaning his shoulder into Andrew's as they walked side by side.

****

Rich scents of good food filled the old home, flooding out of the kitchen and through the dining room before spilling into the living room. The house that Andrew, Dustin, Max and Zack shared was an old farm house on the edge of town. Behind the house was a vast field that they shared with one of the few remaining farms in the valley. To the west was a vast forest that ran all the way to the edge of the campus. It was an ideal spot for a house, at least when the tenants were centaurs.

Dustin moved around the kitchen, making sure everything was ready for dinner. There were a lot of rice and oat dishes but Dustin made sure to cook a turkey with all the trimmings for Matt and his boyfriend. Dustin loved how turkey dinners were so much easier than they seemed and fed a lot of people. After double checking everything, he carried the platter of meat out to the table. Some had been carved already, though the rest would have to wait.

With the bird on the table, there wasn't much left to do but wait for everyone to arrive... And it was looking like everyone was going to be waiting until the last minute. Andrew had gone back out briefly to meet up with Max at the end of his security patrol and Zack was running late too. Dustin was getting more concerned, at least until the door opened. He looked up to see the tallest individual in their group, Zack.

Zack had once been little more than a college jock and bully, but after learning what life could be like as a centaur, he had changed quite a bit. Zack was six foot two with brown hair just short enough that he didn't really have to comb it every day. Just like Dustin, he had a bleached streak on the left side of his hair... though it was more than just fashion. It was Zack's way of letting the world know who he belonged to. Zack moved over to the man that was in many ways his master. Dustin reached up to pet the man's head gently. It was an interesting sight, especially given that Zack was bigger and hairier than the rest of the men. His subservient attitude was quite a non sequitor.

"Would you help me set out the yams and salad?" Dustin asked.

"Of course." Zack replied. The two moved back into the kitchen, rooting around. As the minutes passed, the door opened once again. Andrew and Max entered, walking shoulder to shoulder. While Max came from the same sort of life as Zack, he was by far the shortest of the group, only five foot seven. His dishwater blond hair was kept short as well but his body was just a bit more muscular than a swimmer's build. He'd been bulking up in his work with the student security force and with his centaur metabolism.

"Someone's been out there, but it's hard to tell. It's firm ground." Max murmured. Andrew waved his hand, indicating that it was something for Max to discus later.

"Dustin, it smells absolutely wonderful! You've outdone yourself." Andrew smiled, moving to kiss Dustin. Dustin pressed into the kiss, one hand moving around Andrew to hold him into place while they kissed.

"Well, it's a pretty easy meal to make. It just looks showey." Dustin smiled, moving to finish setting up. Andrew moved around.

"So what about our guests, are they here yet?" Andrew asked. Dustin shook his head.

"Until a minute or two ago, I was the only one home. They should be here soon." Dustin smiled. He circled the table, double checking everything. Six place settings had been set out, the turkey and stuffing and sides were ready. There was even a tray of cheese sticks and granola bars. The only thing left were the drinks. Dustin darted into the kitchen, nearly tripping over his human feet once more before he returned with a pitcher of cider and a pitcher of milk depending on people's tastes.

"Now all we need is-" Max was interrupted as there was a knock at the door. Dustin grinned and moved over, easing it open. Matt stood on the porch next to an individual that had to be Devon. The stranger was six foot three with very short dark brown hair. He skin was well toned but he had a bit of meat on his bones, reminding Dustin a bit of himself before he'd become a centaur. The stranger wore a rather nice jacket but had simple well worn jeans.

"Matt, glad you could make it. And you must be Devon, come in." Dustin smiled, stepping aside and gesturing for them to enter. He had expected Matt to enter first since he was in front, but Matt stepped aside to allow Devon to enter first. Devon strode in with a confident gait, looking around at the house appraisingly. Matt slipped in, staying close to Devon. The man hadn't even bothered to reply to Dustin yet, merely taking in the surroundings. He looked at Max and Zack curiously before he froze. His gaze met Andrew's and Andrew had been staring directly at him since he entered. One of Devon's eyebrows lifted curiously. Dustin hadn't noticed and circled around.

"Where are my manners, so many people to introduce." Dustin said.

"Actually, allow me." Andrew said, "Matt, Devon, these are our roommates Max and Zack. Max, Zack, this is Matt, a close friend of Dustin's from middle school and his boyfriend Devon Guraci." Andrew said. Devon puffed a bit when his last name was mentioned. He was rather proud of his Greek ancestry.

"You know Devon?" Dustin asked in surprise.

"We went to high school together. Actually, he was my first boyfriend. He changed my life in many ways..." Andrew said. Dustin's eyes widened a bit at the implications of that. Max and Zack seemed to arrive at a similar conclusion.

"So, how long have you two been together?" Devon asked, looking at Andrew and then Dustin.

"Two years." Andrew said as a matter of pride. It was quite a bit longer than he'd been with Devon...

"Two years, that really is something." Devon said, glancing over to Matt.

"Sit down, we should eat." He said without much politeness in his voice. Andrew's eyebrow twitched a bit at the display. Matt obediently moved over to the table, hesitating.

"Where should I sit?" he asked, looking at Dustin. Dustin gestured to the corner seat.

"There is fine, that way we can catch up." Dustin smiled.

"Just don't talk his ear off; other people will want to have conversations too." Devon told Matt. Matt nodded gently.

"I imagine we will... It's been years since I've heard from you." Andrew said, moving to seat himself on the opposite side from where Devon was likely to sit. Zack settled himself at the far end of the table while Dustin sat across from Matt. Max, however, seemed to be waiting for Devon to sit. Devon turned his head a bit, eyeing the man down. He liked to be the last to sit so people would be waiting for him. Andrew stretched his leg and nudged Max's chair with his foot. Max moved over and sat down, eliciting a slight smile from Devon's lips before he was the last to sit. With that formality out of the way, Devon looked back at Andrew.

"Well I've had things to do, people to see... I've traveled quite a bit." Devon said.

"He's been all over the world, it really is amazing." Matt smiled.

"Still haven't put down roots anywhere I see." Andrew commented. Dustin was sensing how thick the air was getting and went to dish food up for people.

"But you have. A house, a boyfriend. It's rather cozy." Devon said, his tone almost sounding judgmental.

"It's a nice house." Matt said.

"Matt, maybe you should eat." Devon said. Matt blushed a bit and started eating. Andrew had to try hard not to keep from grimacing. His foot tapped on the floor gently.

"Well... I've made a family for myself here. It's what I've always wanted." Andrew said. Devon gave a nod, pouring himself some cider.

"Is that all you've made?" Devon asked. Andrew twitched again.

"Unlike some people, I don't just give the gift and leave." Andrew replied. Matt's eyes went wide as he looked from Andrew to Devon and back again.

"You mean you're a centaur like Devon?" Matt asked. Devon nearly snarled.

"Not now..." Devon murmured.

"I think he has a right to know... That you changed me and left, and I wasn't the only one... How many has it been? Can you even keep track?" Andrew asked. Rather than offending Devon, he merely smirked.

"Who needs to keep track? I do what I was born to do... You're certainly not hurting from it, you or your herd." Devon replied.

"I had to be extremely careful about changing them; I wanted to make sure they would have a prosperous future... We're stronger together."

"A herd is only as fit as its weakest member... and so far I haven't found anyone to keep up with me..." Devon replied.

"But you try, and you try, and it doesn't look like it's changed. I remember what it was like, being ordered around by you. Sit, eat, silence, obey." Andrew said, turning to Matt, "Don't let him just control you, change you and then toss you aside."

"I... He wouldn't do that... Right?" Matt asked, looking at Devon. Devon smirked.

"Unlike some people, you really could be the one... And you certainly don't have to stay here and put up with this. Get up, we're leaving." Devon said. Matt pushed away from the chair.

"Matt..." Dustin said softly.

"I'm sorry..." Matt whispered.

"Go outside." Devon commanded. Matt did as he was told, all but scurrying outside. Andrew nearly snarled as Devon followed Matt out and the two left.

"Want me to go after them?" Max asked. Andrew shook his head.

"It's his choice, but I already know how it's going to turn out... We should take turns going out on patrol in pairs... just in case." Andrew said. Max nodded.

"Is... Is that what you two have been up to?" Dustin asked, looking at Max curiously. Max shifted a bit before he nodded. Andrew took a breath.

"We heard rumors of a centaur in the area, but it wasn't when any of us had been out... And we'd been so careful to avoid being noticed. Then Max spotted hoof prints one day on the way back from class." Andrew explained.

"When I told Andrew he told me how not all centaurs have the best things in mind... And that we should be careful." Max added.

"I had no idea that it would be Devon though." Andrew sighed.

"A lot of bad blood I take it?" Dustin murmured.

"I didn't see it at first beneath all his charm, but... He's got a god complex. He thinks he's an ancient Greek god put here to turn people into centaurs... but none of them live up to his standards. He tosses them away and moves on. Before I came to the college, I had to help six men put their lives back together." Andrew said softly.

"But there's no way we can go out and save Matt?" Dustin asked softly.

"You know him pretty well... Is what he saw here enough to scare him away? Would anything we said make a difference?" Andrew asked softly. Dustin sighed.

"Not if he felt like he was really in love... Or if he thought that this could make his life better. He probably really wants to become a centaur." Dustin said, feeling rather sad for his friend being trapped in such a situation. Andrew looked at Dustin's heartbroken face and shifted a bit.

"Well... Devon is proud. He'll probably do it in the forest as a matter of principle." Andrew said softly.

"Then we can at least... be there. Andrew, you and I should have the first patrol. Max, Zack, eat some of this food so it doesn't go to waste, then you can take over for us if we don't find them first." Dustin said. Max and Zack nodded obediently. Andrew looked at their compliance, shifting a bit uncomfortably. At the time he'd felt that their obedience as pets was something they had earned after a life of cruelty and bullying, but after being reminded of how Devon had been, Andrew would be sure to revisit how he treated their roommates.

Dustin and Andrew moved out to the front of the house, moving off into the tree cover. They wandered in several hundred feet before both men reached down to unbutton their pants and slide them off, then their underwear. They were already growing hard as they braced for what was to come. Dustin and Andrew each found a tree to brace their hands against as their spines started to stretch and stretch. They gained more back and stomach as inches spooled out, their flesh and bone stretching. Their toes started to grow together, the flesh knitting until their toenails started spreading out over the digits.

In moments the two seemed far too tall for their bodies, but suddenly their ribs shifted as two knew masses moved out of each of them. The flesh warped and shifted, becoming new legs. Slowly they lowered down onto their new front legs, their extra spine becoming a long back. Pounds of muscle and flesh coated them as their anatomy changed. Their feet became hooves, their hips changed, their ass cheeks parted and thick horse tails started growing in. All over their lower halves fur was sprouting.

While their lower halves were changing the most, their upper halves were shifting a bit too. Dustin's blond streak darkened into a rich hazelnut brown as he changed. Their shoulders broadened a bit and their muscles shifted, not so much in growth but somehow the new alignment matched their beastial lower halves. After several moments, the centaurs shuddered and stepped away from the trees on four hooves each. Below them their long equine members bobbed up and down before they began trotting through the forest, looking for any signs of Devon and Matt. Dustin wanted to find his friend before it was too late, but the sun was already setting...

****

Night had come and gone. Andrew and Dustin had found nothing. They had returned to the house an hour before dawn to get some rest while Max and Zack took over... but Dustin hadn't really been able to sleep. He'd curled up in the window box under thick blankets, half asleep and half watching the sunrise. The early hours were full of so many unexpected colors that few ever saw... Browns and greens and yellows, all sorts of unusual tones... But as the colors started to give way to familiar pale blues, Dustin noticed movement out in the forest.

Dustin slowly sat up, gazing outward. Max and Zack were returning, but Zack had something on his back... or rather someone. Just like Dustin, Zack's blond stream was hazelnut as a centaur. Dustin scrambled out of the window box and moved to the front door, hearing Andrew descending from upstairs. Apparently he hadn't been able to sleep much either. Once outside, Dustin shifted back to his centaur form so quickly that it almost hurt. He clomped over towards the others, spotting Matt before he had fully reached them. Matt was wearing only a t-shirt, clinging to Zack's back, cold and shivering. He looked worse for the war with a few bruises.

"Matt? Are you okay?" Dustin asked softly, moving to pet the human's head. Matt looked up with sad eyes.

"He... he said I was unworthy... That... I wasn't even worth changing." Matt said, nearly whimpering. The words cut too deep, bringing back every vulnerable moment from his life... but suddenly, there was a comforting hand on his shoulder. Matt turned, seeing Dustin's face looking at him with compassion..

"He's a terrible person Matt, don't even bother with him." Dustin said, leaning down to hug his friend. Matt continued trembling, but the massive heat from Dustin was a welcome relief to his cold bones.

"We should get him inside." Andrew said, moving off ahead. Matt forced his head up, watching the man shift and change back into human, watching in amazement as so much flesh and mass seemed to disappear, leaving a human in his place.

"Dustin?" Matt asked gently as he watched Max start to change back before moving into the house. Dustin moved over, leaning close.

"Yeah buddy?" Dustin asked with a smile. Matt looked into Dustin's eyes with a hint o desperation.

"Please... Please, make me a centaur... Let me join the herd." Matt begged.

"Matt, we need to get you inside, let you rest and heal... Besides, I've never changed anyone." Dustin said.

"I know you can do it... You have to have it in you, and if you do it... I know it'll turn out better than some jackass doing it." Matt whispered. Dustin looked touched but still thoughtful.

"I need to talk to Andrew about it first." Dustin said, starting to change back, grimacing as his body underwent such a change in a rapid amount of time. Before long he was stumbling onto the porch with human feet. Max moved back out to help Zack with his passenger, lifting Matt off. Matt was carried inside and brought over to the couch. Matt shivered a bit, adjusting to the heat but ever so thankful for it.

"We have plenty left over from the dinner... Anything you want to start with?" Max asked once Matt was settled.

"Maybe just the appetizer tray... Something to nibble on." Matt said. Dustin came back from the other room with a blanket in his hands. He draped it gently over Matt, tucking it in a bit. Matt blushed.

"You don't have to go to all this effort..." he said softly.

"After what you've been through, some warmth and comfort and food is the bare minimum." Dustin replied, "Can you think of anything else you need?" Dustin asked.

"Yeah... For you to go talk to Andrew about all this. I really mean it." Matt said. Dustin took a long breath before nodding, turning to look at Andrew.

"We'll be back in a bit." Andrew said with a gentle sigh before the two moved into the bedroom, the door closing behind them. Matt took several nibbles on baby carrots and granola bars before he slowly looked over at Max and Zack.

"So have you two been centaurs as long as Dustin?" Matt asked. Max and Zack nodded.

"Yeah, actually just a touch longer... Andrew showed us the error of our ways. We were so afraid of expressing our true feelings that we were hiding behind our fists, bullying people and being bigots. It was pretty rough stuff, but we learned from it all and came out the other side better for it." Zack explained.

"And you like it? I mean... It's a good herd? Andrew isn't too dominant?" Matt asked.

"Not at all... I mean, whatever is going n has to be good. We're getting better grades than ever, we have a home and people that love us, we're respected, we have jobs... We're productive members of society now. Before we were pretty much wastes of space." Max said.

"More than that, I think like you that we craved something more, something to set us apart... Now we have this part of us that are big, graceful animals... The power of nature flowing through our veins. It really is wonderful." Zack said.

"And living with those two is alright? It isn't awkward?" Matt asked. Both shook their heads.

"Not at al, it's really nice... Being able to look up to someone, knowing they love you but not having to be their be-all and end-all." Max explained.

"Besides, we always had crushes on each other... and we never realized how good life could be until we're sucking each other's horse cocks off..." Zack shivered in bliss, growing had at the thought of it.

"Takes a bit of back stretching but yeah... Hot." Max chuckled.

"I am not hearing any reason to not do this." Matt said softly.

"Well, we're happy to have you if you want to stay." Max smiled. Dustin nodded gently before he untucked himself and stood up.

"I know they are busy but... I need to tell them what I feel from the bottom of my heart." Matt said. The other two nodded gently and Matt moved, knocking on the door. There was a pause.

"Come in." Andrew said. Matt eased the door open and moved in, looking at the two. In a way he had hoped they had reverted to their centaur forms, but it seemed as though they didn't change in the house.

"I know you two want me to rest, but... I wanted to speak what was in my heart while I could." Matt said, taking a soft breath, "I talked to Max and Zack about this, and they really feel the same way I do, about what this would mean... A new lot in life, a fresh start... being something more than I am, but it isn't just that. I know it's been years since we saw each other Dustin, but I know that we have more in common than many. We're more than just friends; it's something that crosses time... And I know if you're the one to change me that I'll never have to leave my friends again for some asshole." Matt said. Dustin and Andrew looked at each other before Andrew gave a gentle head nod. Dustin swallowed.

"But what if I mess it up? I've never done it before. You're putting your life in my inexperienced hands." Dustin said.

"I know you'll do fantastically. I mean, look at what you've done with your life here..." Matt smiled. Dustin looked to Andrew and smiled, feeling heart warmed.

"Alright... But we're doing this right. You eat and sleep and come sunset we'll do it." Dustin said.

"Really?" matt asked, practically bouncing.

"Yes, but I mean it. Rest up." Dustin said. Matt nodded eagerly before he stood and moved out of the room, heading back to finish eating before lying down. Dustin moved to sit on the bed before looking back at Andrew. Andrew looked at his boyfriend before moving over, caressing his cheek.

"Don't worry, it should be fine. Part of it is a natural process you'll sense, but really your intentions will have a lot of play... And you want nothing but the best for your friend." Andrew smiled.

"You're not mad?" Dustin asked. Andrew shook his head.

"Of course not. I mean I hope he's doing this for the right reasons, but I think he is." Andrew replied.

"Well... It's been a long night for all of us. I think we should get some actual sleep too... before our festivities." Dustin said. Andrew nodded and moved to close the door before climbing into bed with his mate, the two cuddling up in their mutual exhaustion.

****

The day had slipped by with five sleeping males in a warm house with full stomachs, but as the sun had started to set, they had ventured out into the forest once more to welcome Matt to the herd in a far more respectful way. Matt entered into the woods naked with four centaurs around him, the sound of the hooves reassuring. His heart jumped in his chest, but he was so excited he could barely contain himself. His pants had grown tented in eager anticipation, but his companions were also well endowed, their cocks glistening and hanging along their undersides. After some time of walking, they reached a remote clearing tucked into the very back of the forest. The trees looked quite old and the natural soil was rich beneath them. Once they all came to a stop, Matt looked around at them curiously.

"So how does this go?" he asked gently. Andrew started to speak, but Matt didn't understand the words. He did, however, understand their effect. Almost at once a thousand sensations began sliding all over his body, massaging him and pleasing him. He gasped softly, inhaling. Zack and Max came up behind the human, their hands caressing his hips and sides and ass cheeks, moving over him. Dustin and Andrew moved up to Matt's front, caressing his pecs and nipples, his abs and even his sack. Dustin rolled Matt's balls around his hand like Chinese stress relievers, feeling the heat. The centaurs slowly circled, massaging Matt all over... but Matt was starting to get the idea of things.

When he knew that Dustin was coming up behind him, Matt suddenly crouched down before he was on all fours, lifting his ass up. Dustin moved forward, bringing his equine body over his old friend. Matt shivered in delight, feeling the furry belly against his back and head. Dustin brought the flat head of his massive shaft to Matt's ass and started to grind. Thick, slurpy pre began leaking out and drizzled down the cleft of Matt's ass. Matt shivered in delight, moaning happily... but before he could enter, he moved back... but the other centaurs advanced.

Matt was about to look around before he figured out what was going on. While it took a great effort for the centaurs to arrange their bodies properly, they carefully stepped over Matt so their long meat was hanging over him. Matt gasped in delight as he suddenly felt hot, wet equine cocks rubbing against him, bathing him in a baptism of horse cum. Matt shivered, especially as Andrew began speaking Greek, though this time Dustin joined in with him, though Dustin was rather rusty at it. Fantastic mental images began flooding Matt's mind... Images of the centaur he would become, of the life that waited him... and it was already starting.

The first changes were nearly obscured from sight. As the cum splattered on the hair on Matt's head and arms, the hair blanched out from dishwater blond to a pure, perfect white. The other changes were far more apparent. The excess weight, the baby fat, and all of the round qualities of Matt's body were slowly ebbing. His masculine jaw came out, his cheek bones grew more angular and his torso became trimmer. Slowly his white hair started growing out a tiny bit longer, though barely noticeable. As Andrew and Dustin continued chanting, Andrew started speaking less and less, letting Dustin take over. Dustin was doing his best and reaching the end of the spell, though he couldn't remember the last word. He searched his mind before coming up with one;

"...lustratio..." Dustin said. Andrew's eyes widened a bit, but it was already done. Matt shuddered and moaned happily before he rolled over, looking up at all the cocks with a brand new glee, a lust, a need, a desire and an overwhelming urge. He reached up and cupped Max's cock head with one hand and Zack's with the other, bringing both towards his face. The centaur cum gushed down across his face as he gulped at it hungrily. Even Matt's cock started spraying like a fountain, producing an inhuman amount of seed.

"More... More..." Matt mumbled as he guzzled the seed. Dustin looked a bit stunned.

"What did I do?" Dustin whispered.

"You... made him embody lust in a way... He's in a centaur form of heat and will likely do anything for sex..." Andrew said. Dustin blushed.

"Oh no..." Dustin whispered. Andrew chuckled.

"Trust me, he'll enjoy it... Let's make sure he does." Andrew said, giving Dustin a quick kiss. Matt continued to douse himself with the cum like a shower, though his body was growing tense and tight as the changes swept through him. Matt writhed and shifted as his spine started to stretch. New vertebrae formed, one connecting to the next. Matt's stomach and back stretched, gaining new ribs and organs and flesh. He looked for a moment as if he'd been raw dough stretched out, but bones and muscle formed and his body shifted before two portions split off and started wriggling.

Matt's extended back curved backwards, giving him more the shape of a centaur. As his ass slipped back, his legs were drawn with it, but his new legs formed and stretched slowly, bones warping and growing. Behind him his ass continued to swell and stretch, the cheeks getting larger. The soft hair on his legs had turned white but it was growing thicker and thicker by the second. The hair swept up his legs and across his underside before sweeping over his ass cheeks and lower back, even reaching his forming legs. Somewhere above his more equine cheeks, his tailbone began pushing out, stretching before soft white hairs exploded all around it. The tail continued growing inches at a time, stretching out to be a true horse tail.

Beneath his longer stomach, Matt's cock was achingly hard. Blood kept pushing in, making his shaft feel harder than ever. It continued to usher forth cum as well, pulsing and throbbing. Mat's sack grew larger as his balls swelled form the size of golf balls to small oranges. His cock throbbed and began to grow darker. At first it just looked extra red, then maybe tanned, but then a black pigment swept across it, making it as dark as obsidian. The mushroom shaped head blunted and flared out wider as a median ring formed around the mid-section.

Matt let out what was nearly a whinny as his cock surpassed twelve inches, then fifteen, then nineteen. As the cock reached twenty inches its growth slowed, but it still surged past twenty three inches before finally stopping for the moment. Matt moaned reaching for a cock before he saw Dustin's and looked up with lusty eyes. Dustin blushed but knew that Matt was their responsibility; after all they had made him what he was... A centaur in heat. Dustin moved forward, feeling the hands around his large shaft, then the lips.

The white furred centaur's lips went wide as he took the massive head of Dustin into his mouth. He sucked and slurped, doing everything he could to take it deeper. The other centaurs kept cumming over him as his body continued to stretch and grow. His legs finished contorting, growing thinner and stronger. His toes had grown together. His toenails had stretched over his feet and turned into hooves and his hips, both front and back, had grown stronger and shifted. From the waist down Matt was a horse, from the waist up he was a man. It was hard for Matt to fathom, that he had become a being of pure mythology, but he had...

Dustin tried to keep the pleasure going as long as he could, but at last he gasped, lifting his head skyward as he orgasmed. Matt clamped down as he felt the cock pulsed, letting all the rich centaur cum spray down into his throat, his equine legs stirring and his tail twitching. Matt sucked and sucked until Dustin was soft and Dustin stepped back, but Matt grabbed onto Andrew's cock next, drawing the centaur in. Andrew moaned, his eyes clenching as he let the cum slut drain him as well. It took several long moments but he came, his hoof clomping down safely away from Matt as he felt the pure bliss... and then the hyper sensitive after-bliss that lasted until he too was soft.

Andrew moved back to stand with Dustin, watching in awe as Matt kept at it, milking Max of all his seed and lust. Max had been so horny and his release so good that he nearly collapsed, his eyes rolling into the back of his head. Zack helped Max step back, giving him a gentle kiss before he moved in, grinning wide. As prideful as Zack was, he wasn't ready for how experienced Matt's mouth had become. It was only a few moments before Zack was screaming in bliss, his cock unleashing torrents of cum down Matt's gullet.

Matt drank as much as he could, though the excess spilled down his cheeks, following the contours of his jawbones. While Matt had tried to drink as much as possible, even his centaur body was reaching its limits. His stomach was just a bit distended from all the cum in it, though that would go away soon enough. At last Zack stumbled away, satiated... and matt's infinite lust seemed to be quelled enough for him to let out a deep sigh of satisfaction, licking his lips clean before wiping his cheek on his arm... then licking his arm clean.

Andrew and Zack moved forward, dropping down onto their front legs to get a hold of Matt before trying to hoist him up. Zack and Max moved in, as wobbly as they were to help. Matt shivered happily, feeling his center of gravity changed. His brand new horse hooves touched the ground and his legs struggled to keep him up. He wobbled a bit, leaning against Dustin and then Andrew for support as he got used to them. His legs tensed and his muscles flexed. Soon Matt was standing on his own. Dustin slowly moved away, walking several yards before he turned around.

"Alright Matt, lets try walking." Dustin smiled.

"I know how to walk..." Matt said, taking a step. Dustin said nothing, knowing it was an adjustment period for everyone. Matt's leg quivered with the first step but grew stronger. He took another step, then another. The wobbling and balance issues melted away until he was trotting slowly like a natural. Matt reached Dustin and threw hiss arms around the man. The two centaurs hugged, holding each other for a long moment.

"Thank you... so much... Thank you." Matt whispered.

"You're welcome, and welcome to our herd." Dustin smiled.

"So, uh, what do you guys do for fun... besides sex?" Matt asked after a moment.

"Well, we were all runners originally and we love to feel the wind in our fur but after that, I think we might nap for fun..." Dustin laughed.

"I'd have to agree." Andrew said with a smirk, moving over to pat Matt's hind quarters.

"Well of course we need to nap. How else are you boys going to rest up so I can have seconds?" Matt asked with a grin before he started wandering back toward the house. Dustin watched him go with wide eyes.

"What have I created?" he asked in jest.

"Don't worry, we'll help." Max said as he passed.

"We'll help a lot." Zack grinned, breaking into a gentle run to catch up to the other two, putting his arms around their shoulders.

"You have created a stronger family from the looks of it. Now come on, we can have some sweet potatoes." Andrew chuckled. Dustin nodded; laying his had on Andrew's shoulder for a moment before the two advanced, walking behind the rest of their herd. The last of the sunlight tickled their bare shoulders before it dropped behind the horizon, giving way to night.
