Things Are Looking Up

    by: citywalker Author IconMail Icon
There was only one place to go when you felt this way. You stood up and walked out of the union, heading down the sidewalk towards the rec center.

Once you got there, you quickly changed into your tank top and gym shorts, did some stretching, and headed straight to the free weights. Several other furs that you recognized were already working out there: a pair of wolves helping each other on the bench press, a burly lion doing squats, and a horse with the thickest thighs you had ever seen working on the leg press. You had seen these guys dozens of times here before, though neither you nor any of them had ever bothered to exchange names. Nodding as you made eye contact with some of them, you gave a friendly (if brief) wave hello. They grunted back their greetings, nodding in return.

Walking over to the stack of dumbbells, you grabbed a pair of forty pounders, then found a nearby bench and sat down, starting to work on curls. Focusing on the exercise usually helped clear your mind, but you couldn't help shake the uneasiness you had felt since this morning. After a few cycles of twelve reps per arm, you walked back over to the rack to return the dumbbells.

As you put them back in their place, however, a sweet musk filled your nostrils, one you knew well, and you felt a familiar poke against your shoulder. This one, though, felt a little more forceful than normal.

"Kory?" you asked, a bit puzzled. You knew for a fact that the red panda had never stepped foot into the rec center since the beginning of college, able to stay slim and trim with just his regular walking and light jogging, and with no interest in building any muscle mass. In any case, him meeting you here was definitely a pleasant turn of events. You brought a smile to your face, ready to greet your friend -- no, your boyfriend, you corrected yourself -- as warmly as possible. But as you turned around, you were met with a shock, in the form of a face-full of dark black fur.

"Surprise!"

You gawked up at the seven-and-a-half foot tall red panda in front of you, eyeing him from head to toe. He had the same shade of reddish brown fur, the same neatly cropped and styled head of dark brown hair, and the same wonderful smile -- but everything was much larger than before. He stood nearly a foot taller than you, and, even more astonishing, his physique seemed to have gotten a little more muscular, his arms and legs now toned with a bit of definition to them. His shirt, the same short-sleeve button-up he was wearing earlier, now looked more like a vest, completely open and revealing the black fur on his chest and stomach. His formerly baggy shorts were now nearing their breaking point, able to cover less than half of his thighs, and in between his legs, you could clearly see the outline of a very prominent bulge aching to break free. His flip-flops were still there, but the edges of his feet were hanging over the sides, and the straps seemed like they would snap loose at any moment.

He leaned down to kiss you, but you backed away, more out of shock than anything else. "K-Kory! Wh-- what's happened?"

His ears flattened slightly, and you saw a tinge of disappointment in his eyes. "What do you mean, Ash? I got out of studio early, and I saw you just before you slipped in here, so I thought I would surprise you." He glanced to his right and left, noticing that all eyes in the room seemed to be fixed on the two of you, and he began slouch his shoulders. "I guess that I should've known better, huh?" He rolled his eyes and turned away from you, looking down at his feet.

The frown that was now on his face nearly tore your heart in two, and you did your best to try and salvage the situation. "No, no, it's nothing like that." You placed your fingers on his cheek, having to stretch a little to reach, and stood up on your tiptoes, gently kissing the white fur on the bottom of his chin. "I just … wasn't expecting you here… especially like… well, like this!" You gestured with your hand, trying to indicate how unusual, even ridiculous, his height seemed to you, without actually saying it aloud.

"Mmmm…" He didn't seem to pick up on your hints, and he still looked dejected. To hell with what anyone thinks, you told yourself. Taking a deep breath and sucking up all your courage, you wrapped your arms around his chest and tried to squeeze tight, leaning against his arm and kissing the bulge in his biceps. At this point, you began to realize just how big Kory now was; you could only barely fit your arms all the way around his torso, and his muscles were firmer and more powerful than you first thought just by looking at them. You began to grow aroused as you clung tighter to your large boyfriend. You could get used to this.

"I'm sorry if I upset you, babe," you said, looking up at him with wide-open eyes, and forced a little bit of a purr. "I'm really glad you stopped by."

He glanced back down at you, as if trying to decide something, before his lips finally started to slowly turn upwards. He leaned his face forward and buried his muzzle in your hair as he kissed you. You tilted your head slightly and began to kiss him on the side of the neck, gradually moving down to the exposed part of his shoulder. He placed a large paw on your back. "Apology accepted, Ash." He began to caress your gently, slowly working his way lower and lower, causing your pants to tighten even more.

At this moment, you noticed that your watch, resting against Kory's bicep, again seemed to be buzzing and heating up. You remembered last Friday evening in the woods and this morning before class where the same thing happened as you were kissing Kory. And it was after this that he started having his growth spurts. Could the watch have something to do with Kory's unexplained explosion of growth? No, that wasn't possible-- was it?
