Your room shook as a storm roared outside.
What a miserable end to a miserable day. Without going into too much detail, your day has been absolutely awful. Starting with waking up late, dealing with too many rude customers, and getting rained on, this awful thunderstorm that knocked out your power is just the cherry on top to such a shitty day. You were curled up in bed as frustrations from today only built the more you thought about them. Every crack of thunder overstimulated you more and more, and the pounding rain and hail outside did nothing to calm the restlessness in your head.
Couldn't today just end already? Why did the universe seem intent on making you so miserable?
You squeezed a plushie closer to you. A plushie of your favorite character from a little indie game, named Tenna. You often had fantasies about him, about somehow ending up in his world, changing your life for the better as the two of you fell in love. He is, of course, fictional, and such a savior would never come for you.
Tears pricked your vision at that thought. What awful thoughts to have on an awful day. You sniffled as you nuzzled further into your Tenna plushie, his soft felt absorbing your tears. Even in plush form, it felt as if he wanted to dry your tears, and perhaps tell you that everything was going to be okay. As you nuzzled into him, a whisper escaped you, a deep yearning from within as you sent out a wish to nowhere.
"I wish you were real..."
A loud, sudden crack of thunder made you jolt up. It'd either hit your house or somewhere very close by, as your whole room was lit up by the flash followed by an enormous bang. You yourself shrieked, accidentally dropping your Tenna plushie off the side of the bed. You were breathing heavily as the scare from the thunder wore off. You felt a pang of guilt that you dropped him in your fear, gently picking him back up and cuddling him in your arms. Softly, you murmur out a "sorry".
Then a different voice. A soft voice.
"It's okay!"
Your heart is still. Your room was pitch black, with no way to tell who or where the voice came from, although it sounded close. You held your Tenna plushie closer to your chest in terror... only to be met with a soft "oof!" and squirming from the plush.
It was your plush that had spoken to you.
You yelped as you dropped the plushie onto your bed, startled by Tenna's new alive-ness. Suddenly, his "screen" turned on, finally lighting up your room ever so slightly. He had Tenna's signature goofy smile, and he looked so happy to see you. Although this Tenna still looked like a plush, soft felt skin, stuffed full of cotton giving him a cute round belly like a teddy bear. The tiny plush crawled his way back over to you, like a small kitten wanting affection. Or well, formerly tiny plush, as you began to watch him grow, just like he could in game. He was fairly fast too, now standing at about your height, and still growing, was this a dream?
"Oh, it's so nice to meet you after all this time!"
"I can't believe I'm really here, it's almost MAGIC!"
All you could do was blink. Was this really happening? Had you finally fallen asleep, and this was the dream you were having? It didn't make sense, surely magic wasn't real, surely your wish wasn't heard.
Your face was lit up by Tenna's screen, the soft glow coming from it highlighted the tear stains covering your face. His expression dropped when he saw you, a smile going to a soft frown. His plush hands came forward and wiped at your face, tears drying as he wiped them away. You couldn't muster any words, terrified you were going to wake up.
"H-Ha, I um, sure hope those aren't from me-!"
"...O-Oh who am I kidding, I must be terrifying to you..."
The plushie TV in front of you visibly shrunk.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you..."
"I-I was just so excited..."
Tenna continued to shrink, until he was back to the size of his regular plush self. Or perhaps smaller? Either way, he looked glooby and pathetic, poor guy.
Slowly, you shuffled over to him, putting your hand on his head. He sniffled and looked up at you, a wiggly frown on his little face. He takes one of your fingers into his little hands, confused. Softly, you comfort him.
"I wasn't scared of you, Tenna, it was the-"
A loud bang of thunder caused you to yelp. cutting you off. The little plush Tenna waddles over to you, putting a small hand on you and rubbing a small circle. Gently you pick him up and start to cuddle him again, and Tenna giggles, his size increasing slightly in your grasp.
"You shouldn't be afraid, I promise to protect you!"
Tenna's voice was small and squeaky, likely as a result of his current size. A desire within you wants to quickly fix that. You saw how quickly he grew before, and if his size changing is anything like in game, you know exactly how to bring him up to size. Smiling softly, you nuzzle into his plush head, whispering out "Thank you, Tenna." Gently you take one of his antennae into your hand, rubbing it softly. His white glow turns pink as he blushes, growing larger in your lap.
"I'm trying to do m-my best! I don't like seeing you come home so sad everyday, but today was so much worse than the others. You love me so much, I want to show how much I love you too!"
You rub little circles on his chubby belly, causing him to giggle and grow even more. The more affection you give him, the even bigger he grows. Right now your goal was to see just how big he could get. Very quickly he outgrows your lap, your form being illuminated more and more by his glowing screen. Tenna seems very happy as well, his whole face in a blush as you love on him.
Soon, you get out of bed entirely, the two of you standing in your room. It was still storming outside, violently, but you were with Tenna, and he promised to protect you. Right now, his size was once again around your height, Tenna only being taller by the height of his antennae.
You smile, and kiss him on the mouth, which feels like soft plush.
As you close your eyes and lean into the kiss, you can feel him grow larger and larger, his lips quickly begin to wholly envelope yours. Eventually, he completely sweeps you off your feet holding you close to him. You open your eyes, and are greeted with his goofy smile and a little felt flower blooming from the tip of his nose. Despite being a plush still, he acts similarly to the real Tenna. Just as you kissed him, he now kisses you on the cheek, continuing to grow.
"Hehe~ You're so loveable!"
"I've been wanting to do this for so long, oh come here you!"
Instead of the big kiss you were expecting, he instead licked your face with a big, purple tongue. It felt almost like a soft throw blanket, but with more power and weight behind it. It wasn't slimy at all, just incredibly warm and soft.
Meanwhile Tenna just kept growing and growing, he's sitting down now as he'd be too tall to stand up properly in your room. He's cuddling you close to his tummy, which feels like a memory foam mattress, so very soft. As he grew, another idea popped into your head. The storm was still raging outside, but you knew just the way to fix it. You gave his tummy a big hug and a nuzzle, causing him to grow even quicker, and he had to lay down on his back just to fit properly. Now his belly really was more like a mattress, and you were able to completely lay on it splayed out. In fact it was so large, you were struggling a bit to climb it, until Tenna scooped you into one of his hands and brought you close.
"Aww~ You're so small now! Does this make you the plushie~? Hehe!"
You laughed as well, the storm already starting to feel a little less scary with Tenna at this size. But you kept eyeing his mouth as he talked. His tongue was like a blanket, yes, but his teeth also looked soft and plushy. It also looked like there was a glow coming from inside his mouth as well, albeit not as bright as his screen. He must have noticed, because he plucked you up to lick you again.
"So sweet~!"
He kept licking you, as if you were ice cream or perhaps a lollipop. His antennae curled into a heart, seemingly enjoying your flavor. You were also enjoying this treatment as well, getting giggly as his soft tongue tickled you.
But you wanted more.
You grabbed his tongue, and nuzzled into it. That action must have startled him, and his screen grew even brighter pink. You knew what you wanted, and you suspected he wanted it too.
The next time he licked you, he let you go, and you slid into his mouth. It was so warm and soft, and the storm outside was already muffled from in here. Your small form was pressed to the roof of his mouth with his tongue, squishing you softly as he played around. Tenna was humming as he played, having fun feeling you squirm and giggle from within. He even "chewed" you, although when his teeth are full of stuffing just like the rest of him, it just felt like two big pillows squishing you. It really was surprising, how powerful his tongue was despite being made of soft plush, and you knew your face was likely just as red as his was.
A very loud rumble of thunder shook your room once more, and Tenna decided it was time to keep you safe more than anything. You too were eager, as he angled your descent down his throat. There was a glow there too, even dimmer, but enough for you to see, banishing any fear of the dark you had.
He swallowed, your tiny form surrounded on all sides by the same throw blanket texture his tongue was, before ultimately landing in his big tummy.
It was heavenly in here.
His stomach continued to have the soft texture his mouth did, except this time it was lit up by softly glowing stars that slowly ascended. It looks like there were pillows and blankets in here already, almost as if he prepared beforehand for your arrival. Any outside noise was completely muffled now, and you could no longer hear the storm raging outside. You were suddenly squished from the outside as he rubbed his tummy, comforting you more.
"Oh you're just the sweetest~!"
"I hope it's comfy in there for you, I tried to make it nice!"
You pressed against his hand from inside, and while you couldn't see it, you'd bet that he had another flower blooming right on his nose. Taking a deep breath as you relaxed, you realized it smelled like fresh, lilac scented laundry in here. Not too strong, but enough for you to melt into the comfort he had provided for you. You tried to rub his belly from the inside until you simply felt too weak from exhaustion to do so. It had been late, and you were still tired from the events of today.
Tenna softly cooed as he felt you relax.
"My little plushie, all to myself~"
"No bad storm will get you in there!"
A content hum wormed its way from your throat as it got harder and harder for you to stay awake. After such a miserable day, you finally had a moment to breathe, and it was all you could have ever asked for. Sleep took over you, and you were finally happy.
...
When you woke up, you were in your bed, your Tenna plush wrapped tightly in your arms. It was sunny out, the storm finally over. As you blinked exhaustion from your eyes, you remembered the events from last night. Had it all been a stress induced fever dream?
You look at the Tenna plushie in your arms, his big goofy grin smiling up at you. You sighed sadly, it must have all been a dream. Regardless, you kiss him on his head, and get up to get ready for the day. However, when you look at your dresser, you find a note taped to it that wasn't there before.
It read:
"Dear My Little Sweetpuff,"
"I had so much fun last night! You really know how to make this old TV happy! But I have a worry that this can only happen at night, so I'm writing this before the sun rises! I'll see you tomorrow night, I hope you feel better today!"
It was signed by Tenna.
A warm blush crosses your face. It was real, all of last night was actually real! You immediately pick up your plush and hold him in a tight hug.
"I love you, Tenna!"
