[There he goes. Now it's all up to him. Funny, he had called Shuji over because he was terrified of what he found out about himself, but this almost feels a little like showing off.]
[He takes a deep breath. After making sure Shuji is far enough, he closes his eyes. It's like his tentacles. All he has to do is just relax, think of his body melting into the darkness, think of his body unwinding, unleashing what's really underneath...]
[The change is immediate. His form shines brightly with a blue, eerie light before it twists and expands unnaturally, swelling into the shape of something quite large. The sheer force of the transformation is enough to disturb the nearby trees before it finally settles, the glow disappearing to reveal...]
[His voice is deeper, more booming in sound, but it's still, unmistakably, Howard's voice. He tilts his head to the other side, eye holes widening - the fingers of his arms drum on his head as he tries to understand that, well, Shuji isn't...scared. He's not scared of him...?]
[He unconsciously shrinks back - it warms his heart (does he even have a heart like this?) to hear Shuji says he loves him, but...it's hard to just shake this off. The feeling that now he's different. People will hate him, come after him with pitchforks and torches, won't they?]
Shuji...are you sure? People aren't like you. They won't love me like this.
[Even so, a tendril breaks from the mass, reaching out to his boyfriend - he touches the side of his cheek, before drawing back sheepishly.]
[What good did he ever do to deserve his perfect boyfriend? He'd tear up if he had tearducts.]
[He lets out a sigh that rumbles through his entire body, almost sounding like some large whale off in the distance. This is still very nerve-wracking, but still...]
You look so tiny compared to me. [The tendril wraps around Shuji's hand, like a handshake.] I-it's a little funny.
[Shuji lifts his hand so he can press a kiss to the tendril. Like kissing a hand, maybe? He really shouldn't expect a one-to-one correlation with any body parts.]
Ah yes, but this time I'm about ten times my size...
[He can certainly feel that kiss, as vivid and warm as it wouldn't been on human skin. His form shivers. He may not be able to kiss Shuji back, but...]
[A sucker on the back of his tentacle presses against Shuji's arm, pulling away with a slight pop.]
[Oh, he hadn't realized his tentacles could do that. That's nice? Like being given an unusually circular hickey.
It makes Shuji whimper, and maybe he would have tried to bite back that noise in other circumstances, but he wants Howard to know that what he does to Shuji still feels good.]
I'm sure climbing me would be very different from climbing a tree, Shuji.
[He carefully wraps his tendrils around the waist of his boyfriend - it's like picking up a small doll, it's so surreal. Being very careful not to lift him to quickly or tighten his grip, he lifts him up into the air, depositing him on the layer of tentacles near where his "face" is.]
[The tentacles coming from between his eyes wave, as if in greeting.]
I won't let you fall. [Even if he lets Shuji go, one of his arms moves to cup him protectively, like his own personal railing.] Be careful.
[Now that he's nearer to Howard's face, he gives another tentacle a soft kiss. Still not much like kissing his mouth, but Shuji's never been opposed to covering Howard all over in kisses anyway.]
Shuji, y-you should look at the town, not at me...it's not every day you get to see this view...
[He's very flattered by the attention, though. Howard lets the tentacle brush against Shuji's neck, placing another sucker there and pulling away, leaving a small red mark.]
[He cuts himself off with a gasp when Howard leaves another hickey on his neck. Gently, he takes the tentacle in his hand to attempt to suck a mark near the tip.
He needs to know if he can leave hickeys and if they stay in some form when Howard turns back to normal. For science.]
[That...that feels good. The tentacles in his face writhe, an odd sign of his pleasure. Not that he was new to the feeling of Shuji giving his tentacles this kind of attention, but doing it as he is, in this form...]
You shouldn't do that, you know how much I love it...
[Oh no, his face tentacles are wiggling. That's really cute.]
If you love it, I think that just means I should do it more. Right?
[Satisfied that he can leave some kind of mark on Howard's tentacles, he goes to cover that tentacle - or at least what part he can reach without risking falling - with kisses and gentle nips.]
[His voice comes out in a whine, which, by his deep voice standards, still sounds as deep as the Mariana Trench. His whole form shudders. Oh, this is really unfair. Shuji knows all the best ways to make him unravel...]
[A tentacle winds around Shuji's leg unconsciously.]
You don't have to do it like this, Shuji, please, this is...so much. It's too good.
[He adores Howard and wants to make him feel good, and he wants Howard to know that without a single shred of doubt. He doesn't mind covering Howard's tentacle with hickeys, not when it makes Howard shudder like that.
It's good that Howard has a grip on him, so he doesn't have to worry about the tremors knocking him off.]
[This shouldn't feel this good. Howard's wings flutter, hands scratching at his head as Shuji continues his effort in biting every inch of the tentacle offered to him.]
Shuji, we can just go home and do this, I mean...it'll be easier for you. It'll be easier for both of us, to just...
[Well. They know. The tentacle around Shuji's leg continues to wind upwards, slipping underneath his shirt.]
[Of course it's dangerous. He's deliberately trying to take away the focus of the person who's keeping him safe who-knows-how-many feet in the air. Falling is a very real possibility, and even the distraction of a tentacle underneath his shirt can't make him forget that.]
I want to please you like this. Is there a way I can do that without it being dangerous?
I don't know how you could, I mean, it's not like you could, uh, take me. Like this, I think. I'm too big...
[The logistics of this are headspinning. But still, that doesn't stop him from really wanting this to work somehow. Shuji being so small in comparison with him, biting along his tentacles, sends waves of arousal throughout his body. His tentacle curls over Shuji's chest.]
I mean, I have these holes all over me but I don't know which is the...crucial one.
[WHERE CAN SHUJI STICK HIS DICK??? ONLY GOD KNOWS]
no subject
Okay. I won't get hurt.
[So Shuji backs away to about the edge of the clearing, to give Howard plenty of space to do his thing.]

[Well, this.]
[The head of his new form tilts to the side, gazing down at Shuji with wide, empty holes.]
no subject
Yeah, he understands why Howard was so panicked. And why he was afraid to show Shuji and worried that this would drive him away.
But-]
Still want to kiss you, but I don't think I can stretch that high, I'm sorry.

I'm a monster.

[The nerves are already starting to melt away as he grows a bit more confident - another tentacle reaches out to brush through Shuji's hair.]
Hey...would you like to come up here? I can see a lot from here, you know.

[It must be quite a view, and Shuji trusts Howard not to let him fall from that height. Though, speaking of that...]

no subject
[Shuji's comparatively tiny dick rubbing against only one edge of one of Howard's holes. The image is funny, but not very hot.]
We could try rimming? You can definitely feel my tongue, at least...
[He punctuates this with another kiss and long lick over Howard's tentacle.]
