Chapter 5.1.1.1.1.1.1 - Tim uses the app on Steven.

<<Previous (5.1.1.1.1.1) / Outline

Tim opened the app and pulled up Steven’s caption.

“Again?” Steven asked.

Tim nodded as he considered what to change next. He had an impulse to do something for Steven, to show his affection through a gift from the app.

“You don’t have to,” Steven said, loosening his grip.

Tim let go of Steven’s hand, to hold his phone with both hands. “Hold on,” Tim said. “I’ve got an idea.”

“What is it?” Steven asked, sounding nervous.

“I was thinking that I really liked your muscles before,” Tim explained. “I thought I’d grow your muscles bigger again.”

“Oh,” Steven said. “I guess that would be okay.”

Tim added a new line to Steven’s caption:

Steven is more muscular than most boys his age.

Not feeling satisfied with that, Tim revised it to read:

Steven is more muscular than most professional bodybuilders.

Smiling, Tim saved the change and watched as the progress bar began to fill up.

“W-why are you smiling like that? What did you do to me?” Steven asked, sounding nervous again.

Tim just kept silently smiling at him, knowing that Steven would have his answer soon.

Steven’s young body swelled, stretching his clothes tightly to his skin. At first, the most obvious growth was concentrated around his upper torso, expanding his pecs and back muscles, with his biceps and triceps growing nearly as much. Then, below, his thighs and calves began to thicken like tree trunks. He quickly surpassed his former teenaged figure while remaining only 9-years-old.

“Tim,” he grunted. “That’s enough. My clothes!”

Steven’s unwilling muscle growth continued. Although Tim sensed his friend’s distress, he realized that figuring out how to cancel the change would take longer than the change itself. Steven would just have to ride it out.

Staring in amazement, Tim watched as Steven’s proportions became increasingly absurd. He had already become the strongest boy in the world, stronger than even an average adult, but his muscles kept swelling. All the while, his bones did not grow at all, leaving him just as short a boy as he had been despite all the extra muscle mass covering him.

His clothing began to tear, his arms bursting free of his sleeves, his thighs splitting open the legs of his shorts. Tim was impressed by the well-defined striations and chiseled shape of the muscles beneath Steven’s soft skin, a level of development that would be impossible for an ordinary child. And, above all of that beef was the incongruous sight of Steven’s 9-year-old face, looking worriedly down at the enormous muscles that thickened to encase his young body.

Then, just when it seemed as though he would be buried in a solid block of muscle, the growth stopped. Steven’s torn clothing, moving on its own, slid over his skin, stretching to cover his muscular form, sealing up the rips and tears as it reshaped to fit his short but thick body.

Then, Tim’s phone began a high-pitched whine that grew in volume until it was cut off by a burst of light. In the following silence, the boys blinked their eyes against the afterimage of the flash. When they could see clearly again, they stared in wonder at Steven’s hyper-muscular body.

“What the heck, dude?” Steven asked, his voice sounding just as high and innocent as it had done before the growth. He experimentally flexed his right bicep, which contracted to the shape of a bowling ball. “This is too much.”

“Lift your shirt,” Tim demanded, desperately wishing to see his friend’s abs.

Steven did as Tim asked, revealing a tight 8-pack with no trace of fat around his waist.

“Wow,” was all Tim could think to say, his mind overwhelmed by the magnificence of the body he had created. He ran his fingers down his friend’s taught belly, feeling the solid shape of abs.

Steven cringed and chuckled. “That tickles!” he said. “Cut it out.”

Tim pulled his hand back, feeling momentarily afraid of his friend’s strength. “S-sorry.”

Steven seemed less impressed by his own strength. “Can you… I dunno… make me a little smaller again?”

“What?” Tim asked. “Why?”

“I feel like… kinda freakish like this,” Steven said, standing up to get a sense of what his whole body felt like now, his giant muscles flexing powerfully with every move he made. “Can’t you just make me normal again?”

While Tim could see that Steven’s body would be impossible without the app, he loved the way Steven looked now. There was also something endearing about Steven’s embarrassment over his body. Tim believed that, on some level, Steven must have been enjoying this, even if he refused to admit it. At the same time, Tim sensed his own even greater power at having made Steven so involuntarily powerful, and he enjoyed the control he felt over another person. He realized he could change Steven in just about any way he wanted and started to imagine other ways he could play with Steven’s body and life.

What will he do with Steven now?

He grows Steven into a giant. (5.1.1.1.1.1.1.1)

He shrinks Steven’s whole body.

He makes this body “normal” from Steven’s perspective.

He reverses the change he made to Steven’s muscles.
