”I think if you plug the lamp in again, I can get big enough to shift this. Right now I can bend the metal near me but the stuff overhead is pretty unstable,” Joey said.
I eyed Jeremy nervously, and he returned the look of concern. Tom, of course, was intensely interested in that option, and his huge dick gave a happy throb at the notion. Predictable.
“Seriously, this was your plan man,” Joey said, “so let’s just do it.”
Oh, right, and guess who was nearest the extension cord?
“Hit it, Joey!” Tom said.
Again, the encroaching twilight was split by reflected light, but this time less of it seemed to be coming out.
“YES,” Joey bellowed. “FUCK YES!”
A horrible screeching groan alerted us to the trouble just in time, and we dove out of the pile of collapsing metal. The cacophony could probably be heard for miles, and it kicked up a cloud of dust and debris.
As the dust settled, a huge figure slowly stood. It’s monsteous arms brushed rubble away. Shit, he must have been twice my size...and three times my width. He was built ...well, more like the Hulk than anything real. His enormous hands and arms and shoulders looked dangerous, and outsized for his lower body...except, of course, for the four foot long dick he sprouted. He wa, of course, hard and dripping.
“....WOW,”
“Joey? You okay man?” I said, truly worried. The logistics, the biology, all dancing in my head, warned of dangers of being so huge. For his part, Joey gazed in wonder at his enormous paws. And then he picked up an old refrigerator, one of the old cast iron monsters that had been supporting the weight of all the scaffolding.
He picked it up in one hand. And then tossed it about sixty feet.
Shit, I could almost feel the cloud of his arousal trigger me, and if my magic stink got rolling with him like this....
Jeremy recovered first, as Tom stood there awestruck, his hand on his own pecker. Jeremy dug around and produced two black light bulbs and tossed me one. I dashed for the lamp, because I simply didn’t know if this enormous beast that used to be my yummy little roommate would allow us to bring him back to normal.
“OH MAN, THIS IS FRIKKIN AMAZING,” Joey rumbled. “FUCK, THAT THING MUST HAVE BEEN FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS.”
He turned around, excited and looking for me to share his moment.
And spotted me with bulb and lamp in hand.
“BABY, PLEASE...” he said. “JUST ANOTHER MINUTE OR TWO, WHILE I CAN. OR MAYBE WE STAY BIG? NO GAY BASHER WOULD DARE....MY FAMILY, YOURS, ALL OF THEM....”
I hesitated. Could I trust him? Or was the lamp’s influence too deep now? There was a look in his eye that worried me, but I could also smell his arousal.
“I need you to come back to me,” I said. “It’s time to be us again, not this fantasy stuff.”
“WHAT IF...WHAT IF WE DONT?”
“We don’t what?”
“WHAT IF WE STAY LIKE THIS? YOU COULD CATCH UP!”
Sigh. Moment of truth here, I was tempted. I mean, some of it was clearly chemical, because my own stink was pouring out of me, and that cycling thing was kicking in. Only there was a lot more of Joey now...
Libido out of control, we could be unstoppable, hot fuck monsters...until the national guard showed up. Then giant lab animals. Probably dead ones.
“Joey....we talked about this. This doesn’t end with us disappearing and living happily ever after as 20-ft hunks. It ends with death, or capture.”
He looked down quietly at me, expression unreadable. For a moment, I was concerned. Tough as I was at eight feet, he could probably have crushed me. But then, he always had a terrible poker face, and I could see his decision before he really made it.
“...OKAY. BUT FIRST, JUST ONE THING.”
“Go on,” I said.
“KISS ME. JUST ONCE, LIKE THIS.”
“You sure? It’s gonna be weird, like kissing a little kid, won’t it?”
“STILL, HUMOR ME. I WANT TO REMEMBER THIS FANTASY JUST A BIT LONGER,” he said.
“....how about this. I’ll do that while they bring you back down to size, before your giant body self destructs,” I offered. “Might be kinda hot...”
“...OKAY,” he said, and smiled.
His face was absolutely huge as he knelt down and grabbed me, and gently brought me up to a mouth that I was certain could swallow me, if not whole, then certainly in chunks. And my god, his incredible and wonderful smell was just hitting all me buttons, and my magic stink was doing it’s best to send his person-sized schlong into the stratosphere.
We were so caught up in that, so aroused, that we barely noticed Joey shrinking back down to something resembling normalcy. And then me.... and when we broke that deep passionate kiss, and realized that we were two relatively normal hunks again, we finally turned our attention to our friends.
By the next morning, we had more or less finished getting back to normal. We showered and ate. The magic stink seemed dialed way back, though I felt like my senses remained a bit heightened, though I said nothing. And then, Tom dug out a few candles and herbs and stuff, and read some words from his notebook — something that sounded apologetic. And then, feeling a bit silly, Jeremy touched the lamp and spoke.
“I am so sorry, mister lamp. But this is good enough. We don’t need more,” Jeremy said. “Please. We are thankful, but it’s okay now. We free you.”
There was no purple sparkly cloud or light show. Just a sense of closure.

After exams, we drove back to see the guys. We being Joey and me, the guys being Jeremy and Tom.
I’d stabilized at a muscular 6’3, and Joey at a much bulkier 5’10 or so. He decided he was okay with the height difference, and quietly joked that our heights and widths were like advertising for our dicks. Which had also been stabilized, me at 9.5 inches, and him at a girthy 7. We were both incredibly ripped and healthy (and Joey finally got those shredded abs he’d envied).
My weird magic stink was mostly gone, though it was hard to tell because people still flocked to me (and Joey) with lusty thoughts. But I could still detect a faint tang in the air when it was just me thinking sexy thoughts, and I retained a much stronger than normal sense of smell. I was still getting the hang of it. Our stamina, too, was through the roof. So yeah, believably human, but definitely on far end of the bell curve for sexiness.
After a lot of discussion, Tom and Jeremy had opted to return to where I originally left them: looking like very fit thirty-somethings. They were a bit too old to believably have a growth spurt ( though truthfully, so were Joey and I), so reluctantly adjusted back down to about an inch taller than they had been, but wayyyy more buff, and with bigger dicks. They still mostly looked like each others’ wet dream.
We carpooled into town from their place, and headed for a huge flea market, where Jeremy set up a stall with some odds and ends on it, and attached a note to the bottom of the lamp. The instructions included warnings as well as what to expect. Tom seemed certain that the lamp would find its way to where it was needed. We left it with a cigar box and a note saying “honor system”.
And then, we headed off to my family’s restaurant for dinner. I was ready to introduce Joey to the clan, having cautiously sounded my uncle out about things. Of course, turns out he had suspected for the past few years and was waiting for me to bring it up. And then, we would see where Joey’s family stood..together.
Life was good.

A young Latino guy, all floppy black hair and made of scrawn, wandered the flea market aimlessly, looking for something interesting to justify the time he had wasted. Julio might have looked like a skinny street kid, but he had top grades and a scholarship to a big school — for music. He was about to go away for school, alongside his best bud Eric, who was in drama.
The scholarships didn’t cover much, and neither of their families had money, so they were combing the sprawling rummage sale looking for stuff for the dorm they’d manage to score together. Of course, Eric had no clue that Julio had been crushing on him for the past two years.
Near the back they found an unattended table with some interesting junk on it.
“Cool lamp,” Eric said.
“Yeah, I think it might come in handy,” Julio said.
