You stop in your tracks, causing Kory to walk a few paces in front of you. When he notices that you're no longer directly behind him, he stops and turns around, confirming what you thought you had seen out of the corner of your eyes and what was no longer a surprise. His clothes are tighter, a sliver of belly-fur now visible, and you're now eye-level with his crotch. In short, he has grown again.
"What's the matter, hon?" Kory asks, still oblivious to the changes.
"Well," you start, but then stop. What's the use in pointing this out over and over if Kory would never notice? Not that you didn't think he'd believe you, but hearing the same thing over and over again had to be irritating him a little, right? "Nothing," you finally say, starting to walk again.
But Kory places his hand on his shoulder and stops you. "No, it's not nothing, is it, Ash?" Looking up into his eyes, you see a smile on his face but a hint of concern forming in his eyes. "Is it happening again? Do I look bigger to you?"
You want to shrug it off and cover it up, but the firm commitment behind Kory's loving stare melts away any chance that you would lie to him. "…Yes," you finally answer.
"I figured as much, by the look in your eyes." He brings a paw to his muzzle, rubbing his chin. "And yet, I don't feel any bigger. I'm still Kory Ringerson, the twelve-foot-tall Red Panda from Longview."
"That's just it," you protest as you walk beside him. "A moment ago, you were nine-feet tall. Hell, this morning, you were my height, and before this whole thing started on Friday, you barely reached my chest."
"So you said," Kory murmurs, mulling this over as a middle-aged ferret passes by without so much as a glance at the humongous panda. "But then why are you the only person to notice?"
"I'm not entirely sure," you admit. "It's almost as if the world is changing around us to conform with your height each time. All except for--"
"--my clothes!" Kory interjects, looking down at the new shirt and pants that were already getting too tight for his giant frame. You notice his eyes lighting up, gears turning inside his head. "Maybe you're on to something, Ash. But… I mean, the way I … the way I remember it, is that these clothes were already tight when I put them on."
"They weren't though!" you say excitedly. "I mean, that's why we went down to the tailor's in the first place! To get something to fit you."
Kory walks beside you silently for a moment. "So, what's the watch have to do with all this?"
"Well, the shopkeeper back there did say that the watch gives a loved one what he or she lacked most physically, through loving, physical acts. And," you pause a moment, gazing into Kory's curious eyes, "every time we've kissed, a little bit later you've grown."
"Hmmmm." Kory slowly begins to nod. "I think I have an idea, then, an experiment of sorts. One I think both of us will enjoy quite a bit." You notice a devilish yet adorable grin form on his face.
"What's that?"
"Well, the book said loving and physical acts, right? Not necessarily just kissing?" You nod, beginning to see where Kory is going, and you feel your arousal growing with each word. "Methinks it's time the two of us get to know each other a little more… intimately, if you know what I mean."
"I think I do." After only a moment's hesitation, you grab Kory's big hand and begin to run off in the direction of your house, which is by now only about a mile away. After a few blocks, Kory picks you up and carries you in his arms, able to move faster this way. And that doesn't bother you one bit.
