"It's fine! Yeah... it's just really strange being so small." Josh responded as he twiddled his thumbs. Tyler frowned, looking like he felt a little bad.
"We can regrow you now, then just shrink you back down at bed time if you want?" Tyler offer in a friendly tone, not wanting to push Josh too far or freak him out any more.
"No, it's fine. It's not strange in a bad way." Josh smiled, looking at Tyler's handsome, yet concerned face. "It's actually pretty interesting and it's something I want to get used to."
Tyler rose an eyebrow, looking at Josh seriously. "Why do you need to get used to it?"
Josh blushed, unsure if he was ready to share the whole truth of what he wanted to do with the shrink ray yet. "Just... it would be easier to test some of the experiments if I was to shrink down from time to time. After all, my goal is to have this device be totally safe for humans to use one day."
"That doesn't mean you have to put up with my antics AND be the size of a grain of rice." Tyler demanded as he crossed his arms.
"I thought I loved your antics?" Josh said with a cheeky smile as he put his hands on his hips. "Or are you the one going soft?"
"Is that a challenge, little fella?" Tyler whispered, moving his face down a bit and staring directly at Josh with a cocky smirk. Josh took a step back, not sure what kind of antics he just invoked from the massive goof.
"Nooooo?" Josh grimaced through gritted teeth as Tyler reached down, carefully pinching Josh between his fingers and setting him down in the palm of his hand. Walking over to his bed, Tyler laid down on the soft mattress as he hovered his hand over his bare abs. Lowering it down, he angled his palm and allowed Josh to slide gently down on his chiseled muscle.
"W-what a-are you doing?" Josh asked nervously, blushing like crazy over his new surrounds. Trying not to stare up and down the expansive landscape that was Tyler's body, Josh simply hid his face as he crouched down.
"You're too shy, dude." Tyler pointed out as he moved his arms behind his head. Josh peaked up to see Tyler expose his hairy pits and lay back with a smug expression. "I kinda like it though, you're really easy to embarrass."
"I'm just not used to thi--" Josh started to say before Tyler cut him off.
"Don't gimme that "I'm not used to being tiny" crap." Tyler smiled as he moved ones of his hands to wag his finger at Josh. "When I hugged you at normal size earlier, I felt you tense up."
Josh crossed his arms, still blushing slightly. "Fine so I'm a little shy, what's it matter?"
Tyler moved his hand back behind his head as he shrugged his shoulder slightly. "Because I'm a really personal dude. If we're gonna be research buddies you'd better get used to it."
Josh uncovered his face, looking up past Tyler's twin mountainous pecs at his face and tried not to blush. Tyler smiled as he could see Josh's tiny hands move away from his eyes. Smiling back, Josh jumped when a sudden noise and rumble gurgled below him. Remembering he was seated directly on Tyler's stomach, it made him realize how insignificant he was when a little bit of digestion under him seemed like a terrifying earthquake. The rumble however sounded like it moved toward Tyler's chest before finally...
"Buuuuurrp!" Tyler expelled the excess gas from his stomach into the open air. Even from Josh's position the smell wafted over like a mix of putrid meat and soda. Waving his hand in front of his face, Josh watched as Tyler massaged his abs with a pair of fingers not far from where he was resting. Josh watched in intrigue as he eventually moved his hand away.
"Excuse you!" Josh tried to break the silence by trying to make the action seem more polite.
"Ha!" Tyler laughed, causing his stomach to lurch a little and making Josh roll onto his back. "You'll get sick of saying that around me. I wouldn't bother, dude."
"Just a habit I guess."Josh tried to defend himself as he moved back into his original seated position. "Can I ask you a question?"
Tyler rose an eyebrow, leaning his head forward slightly in interest. "As long as it's not about my father."
"Well it isn't directly, but... where did you used to live?" Josh asked, wondering about Tyler's origins.
Tyler took in a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment. "In a little beach town on the other side of the country. After graduating high school most of my friends went off to random colleges with sports scholarships. I ended up just hanging out for a few months before my dad shipped me off with him. I'm surprised you haven't seen me around campus the past three semesters actually."
"Well I was a little... invested in my work. So I never got out much. All my friends were a year or two ahead of me and graduated by now and we haven't really kept contact. So I mostly kept to myself and my work alone." Josh responded feeling a little sad about it.
"Well it's better than looking like a trespasser like me." Tyler responded looking away at one of his walls. "I go to the gym and the dining hall and everyone is either afraid to talk to me, or doesn't recognize me from anywhere. So I can imagine they all just think I'm some weirdo who lives here and doesn't go to any classes. So I don't have any friends either."
"Hey, we have each other now. Right?" Josh asked, finally not blushing while smiling happily.
Tyler moved his hand down toward his stomach and gently prodded Josh over onto his back. "You're right. Never thought my first friend here would be a tiny nerd."
Getting back up and sitting back down after laughing a little Josh smiled. "Never thought I'd be friends with a giant jock. So I guess that makes two of us!"
"You know what jocks do to nerds though, right?" Tyler smirked with a mischievous grin. Josh gulped a little, as he'd seen this look one too many times though out the course of today. Tyler leaned forward slightly and looked directly at Josh from across his body. With little effort, Tyler let loose a second, longer belch directed right at Josh, causing the little guy to stumble back slightly as Tyler rubbed his stomach a little once more. "They steal their lunches."
Josh regained his balance and smirked a little. letting the smell dissipate once more, Josh thought up a retort. "Well technically that was my dinner... so..."
Tyler simply rolled his eyes and placed his hand directly over Josh's position and trapped him against his muscular physique. Standing up and allowing Josh to fall back into his palm once more, Tyler moved across his room with his miniature friend in tow. "Little wise ass, huh?"
Looking around the room Tyler decided he'd show off his superiority a little and decided he'd...
