Chapter 3

Julian’s world went dark as he suddenly found himself upside down, his face pressing into the bottom of Madison’s belly button.  Before he had been out in the bright open air of her kitchen, standing on the creamy white expanse of her stomach, but now he had been pitched into abrupt darkness, where the air was cooler and slightly musty…almost damp.  The flesh at the bottom of Madison’s navel was harder than what he might have expected, and as he kicked his little legs and tried to press himself up with his hands, Julian realized that he was in a tight fit – all around him, the soft squish of his girlfriend’s belly button walls pressed into the sides of his body, restricting the movement of his legs, and making it so that, for all intents and purposes, he was trapped in there, upside down, with little air to breathe.  

This quandary felt sudden and primal, like Julian was being slowly suffocated by the body of a much larger, predatory animal.  He would have started panicking, but after a few seconds he felt the cool, fleshy walls around him beginning to shake and jiggle in the bouncing, gaiting rhythm of laughter…and that’s exactly what Madison was doing.  Her mirth was muffled in Julian’s ears, sounding like a loud, fuzzy series of cadenced booms.  On one hand, her laughter calmed him, reminding him that he wasn’t actually in any real danger…but on the other hand, he felt a flash of annoyance, the sudden irritation of someone who was recently scared, and whose intense feelings were not being appreciated.  

He didn’t have much time to indulge this irritation, though, because the next moment he felt the huge, warm pads of Madison’s thumb and forefinger pressing into his feet, effortlessly encompassing them both.  His organs dropped inside him as she swiftly lifted him out of her belly button, and that booming fuzz of her laughter suddenly became more acute and grating in his ears.  Dangling upside down above her navel, Julian put his hands over his ears again to stymie the sound, but Madison immediately recognized what was happening and softened her laughter.

“Oh right…I’m sorry, baby!” she giggled, flipping him rightside up with her fingers as she stared down at him from her standing position, down the sheer white cliff of her belly, barely clothed with that tight, skimpy white crop top, “I keep forgetting I need to be quieter.”

She playfully orbited him around the yawning black hole of her belly button, making it so that his dangling feet dragged along the fleshy, rounded circumference, before squishing his body back down inside, only this time “rightside” up.  Julian looked around, dazed, his little heart still hammering away in his chest from the startling roller coaster he had just been put through.  His bare feet were standing on that slightly-hardened floor of her navel, with the rest of his body squeezed all around by the encompassing walls of flesh.  It was a tight fit, with the top of his head poking out only a few millimeters, and his eyes only barely able to look over the edge.  Madison certainly had a deep “innie” – at two centimeters tall, Julian’s body was almost completely swallowed up.  

“Y-You…need to be more careful!” squeaked out Julian, immediately blushing at how high-pitched and whiny his voice sounded, especially in comparison to Madison’s soft, deep, rich laughter.  But he felt like he needed to stand up for himself and let her know how scared he had been.

“Sweetie, what’s the matterrrrr?” cooed Madison down at him, extending her pinkie out and tenderly petting the top of his head with the tip of her finger pad, “I was just having a little fun.  You were never in any danger…seriously, I’d never let you fall.”

Julian opened his mouth to continue protesting, but then closed it again.  The truth was, he hadn’t actually been scared of falling, or of anything terrible happening.  His annoyance mainly stemmed from the suddenness of everything, and from the sense of violation that accompanied the shock.  And now, there he was, squished into his girlfriend’s belly button, unable to complain without sounding like a petty little pipsqueak.  Madison’s lighthearted, blase attitude certainly wasn’t helping either.

“Aawww…you’re upset with me,” Madison said sweetly down to him, continuing to pet the top of his head with her pinkie, “Come on babe, I didn’t mean to scare you just now.”

She used her pinkie to gently push back Julian’s head, so that he was able to look directly up into her face as she arched her head over her big breasts.  He could see that she still had that humorous sparkle in her eye, but her smile had softened from gleeful to tender and caring.

“Look, I shouldn’t have been so rough with you,” she said softly, “It’s just…you’re so freakin’ adorable that it’s hard for me not to wanna just, you know…play with you.  To have a little fun!  But I know things probably look way different on your end, so I promise I’ll be a lot more careful, all right?”

“Okay…” Julian nodded.  He could already feel his annoyance melting away.  It was difficult for him to harbor any kind of lingering resentment against this behemoth that was literally encompassing his entire body…plus she was just so huge, so gorgeous and powerful and strong, that Julian almost felt annoyed at himself for being so delicate and sensitive.

“There, all righty then,” Madison grinned, giving him one last playful tap on the head with her pinkie before redirecting her gaze into the kitchen, “Now that we’ve got all that cleared up, I’m gonna get some snacks, and then I’ll post up on the sofa and play some games while you explore my body.  You want anything to eat?”

Julian shook his head.  Considering the mind-bending changes that had taken place in the last thirty minutes, one of the last things on his mind was eating food.  And anyway, even when he had been normal-sized, Madison’s appetite had always been a good deal larger than his own.  He had been 5’7, around 150 lbs, while she was 5’11, and…how much did she weigh, again?  She had to have weighed at least 30 lbs more than him, and actually, now that he thought about it, he remembered her casually mentioning that she was over 190.  

Now, though, the difference in their weights was, well…indescribable.  Julian suddenly felt his body seize up in response to the deep, rumbling vibration of something huge below his feet.

GRRRRRRRRAAAAUUUWWAAAUUGGG

It was the massive, gurgling growl of her stomach again.  Julian was certain that Madison would laugh at herself, or at least mention the deafening sound, but she was already strolling around in the kitchen, reaching up to open the cabinets in search of snacks.  It suddenly hit Julian that she hadn’t even noticed her stomach rumbling, or, if she had, she didn’t think much of it.  The same sound that meant almost nothing to her was literally vibrating through his entire body, again awakening that primal fear that some kind of huge, predatory creature was lurking beneath him, ready to gobble him up.  

‘I’ve just gotta get used to it,’ Julian told himself, shifting slightly in the tight squeeze of her navel, continuing to look up at the huge, double undersides of her breasts, ‘She doesn’t realize how gigantic everything seems to me…how could she?  She’s not trying to scare me…it’s like she said, she’s just having fun.’

Madison had been busy snatching large bags of chips, pretzels, and cheetos, and she even grabbed a tin of mixed nuts just for good measure, closing the cabinets with her elbow (BOOM went the door in Julian’s ears) before grinning down at him and strolling out of the kitchen to the living room.  

“God you just look so fuckin’ cute down there,” she giggled, her enormous hands effortlessly carrying the snacks, “Hope you don’t mind that I pig out a little.  I figure, why not, right?  Why not have some snacks to celebrate the shrinking device actually working?”

“Yeah…totally,” nodded Julian, not really knowing what to say.  It was disorienting how impressed he was with everything Madison was doing, even though he knew that it was all just normal stuff.  The fact that she could hold three huge bags of snacks PLUS the big tin of nuts in her hands was astonishing to him, especially since each of those bags was about the size of an airplane hanger from his perspective.  She was just so casually powerful…and the crazy thing was that he KNEW that she had no idea.  Being so huge in comparison, she could never truly appreciate the effect she was having on him.  Every breath, every word, every step, every slight pivot or movement had an enormous impact on him, and even though Julian was completely aware that HE was the one who had shrunk, and that Madison hadn’t actually changed at all, it was difficult for him not to suddenly see her as something more than human…as almost goddess-like.

A few minutes later, Madison had nestled comfortably into her sofa, lounging on a pile of pillows so that, from his spot in her belly button, Julian could turn around and watch the screen like he had front row seats to the most enormous movie theater on earth.  But even though the crazy pyrotechnics of color across the screen were dramatic and entertaining enough, Julian didn’t really care to watch Madison play Genshin Impact.  He was far more interested in exploring her body.  It took him a minute to wiggle himself out from her navel, since it had been such a tight fit, and also because Madison had playfully flexed her stomach a couple times when he was halfway out, which effectively sealed the rounded edges of her belly button shut, like a tight pair of lips.  Julian knew that she was kidding around, and played into it, trying his best to push himself out.  But with Madison’s stomach flexed like that, he may as well have been trying to extract himself from concrete.  Her belly was soft and even a little pudgy on the outside, but that extra paunch hid some powerful abdominal muscles.  After the second time, Julian sighed and gave up, going limp halfway inside her belly button, and Madison chuckled, darting her eyes down from the screen towards him.

“Okay okaaaaay,” she sighed, giggling, “Enough playing around – I’ll let you out.  Sorry Julian, it’s so hard not to tease you when you’re this size.”

“No, I…I get it,” Julian said, finally pulling himself out of Madison’s navel (and having to dust off some arm-sized clumps of lint that he hadn’t noticed before…Madison’s belly button wasn’t exactly the tidiest of places, it turned out), “Anyway I’m just gonna, uh…explore a little bit, if that’s okay.”

“Mmmmm explore away, sweetie,” hummed Madison down to him warmly, “And here, look, I’ll even turn the volume down so the game doesn’t hurt your little ears.”

“Thanks,” Julian smiled, feeling genuinely encouraged by his girlfriend’s understanding.  For a few minutes there he had been worried that Madison didn’t really understand the dynamic that she had thrust them both into, and that the whole thing was going to go off the rails, but now it seemed like she truly understood just how small and vulnerable he was.  All he needed was a little reassurance from her, an acknowledgment that she was attentive to his needs, and he had gotten that.  Now he could actually relax and enjoy the mind-boggling insanity of the fact that he was walking across the vast expanse of his girlfriend’s exposed belly like it was a landscape unto itself.  Because Madison was lounging so completely, holding her game controller in between her legs, her stomach was practically flat.  Julian was free to roam all around, from the base of the twin giant mountains of her breasts all the way down to the warm protrusion of her pussy mound.  

And when he got closer to her mound, without even speaking Madison tugged her black soffes down a little, exposing a suggestive wink of her lavender panties.  Julian turned to look back up at her, expecting to see her grinning down at him, but Madison seemed totally focused on her game.  With cautious steps, Julian ascended the lavender slope of her pussy mound, marveling at how warm it felt under his bare feet.  He could literally feel her pulse beating through the flesh underneath him.  Despite his trepidation, Julian’s cock started getting hard.  Even though it was far down below where he was standing, he could smell the intense, tangy, almost-sweet musk of Madison’s pussy wafting up all around him.  

“Ah!  Fuck!” muttered Madison, high above and beyond him, and Julian’s head snapped around as he felt the short, swift breeze of her exhalation blow through his hair.  She wasn’t even paying attention to him; she was solely focused on the game.  In a way, this made it all the more hot – she had no idea the effect she was having on him, just existing.  He felt so horny that he could have easily jerked himself off then and there, but he didn’t…he wanted to prolong the arousal, and he would have felt a little silly and pathetic just getting off on his girlfriend’s pussy mound without her even paying attention.

In any case, he was starting to feel a little precarious standing on the edge as he was, and so Julian retreated back onto her smooth belly, admiring how his little feet barely even sank into the flesh, despite the fact that it was so soft and plump.  

CRUNCHrcunchdcrunchcrunch…CRUNNCCCHHHcrunchcrunchcruch…

The crackling sound of Madison eating chips and pretzels cut through the air.  It wasn’t quite loud enough to make Julian cover his ears, but it certainly made him stand up a bit straighter, his body naturally poised in a fight-or-flight response.  Even though her mouth was so far away, the crunching sounds were just…sooooo loud, especially the pretzels.  And Madison was putting away some enormous handfuls.  A second later, she caught him gaping up at her.

“Whaaa?” she said defensively through a mouthful of pretzels, “Aaam HUNgreeee!”

CRUNNCCCHHHcrunchcrunchcruch…GULLLLPPPPPPPPP

She swallowed it all down, probably the equivalent of 100 times his body weight, and Julian literally saw the bulge travel down in her throat, before disappearing into her chest.  The next moment, he felt it again, underneath his feet, the gurgling, all-encompassing vibration that was already becoming familiar to him.

GggggggrrrrrRRROOIILLLLOILOILOILOILOOIIILLLLL

“Bet you heard that one, huh?” chuckled Madison, licking her fingers and wiping them on her shirt before going straight back to the game controller (she didn’t have the most aseptic habits), “Sorry babe, I can’t control how loud my stomach is!”

“I-It’s fine!” called back Julian.  He didn’t think it was worth mentioning that he had actually heard EVERY single movement and vibration and exhale that had passed through her body since he had shrunk.  It was a true “Symphony of the Giantess,” and he somehow knew that he hadn’t even heard the most dramatic parts yet.  Right on cue, he felt Madison’s stomach seize up, and the next moment she let out a loud, belching:

BLLLLLLEEEEEEAAAAHHHH

“Fuckin’ stick drift!” Madison mumbled to herself, even as Julian lay on his back against her belly, flattened by the shock wave of the sudden burp that had hit his body.  The air had been suddenly tinged with a sour acridness, so much so that it made him cough, and his eyes water.  He didn’t even have the wherewithal to feel disgusted, because he was too stunned at what had just happened.  After he coughed a few more times, Madison glanced down at him.

“Oh god…was that from my burp!?” Madison exclaimed, her stomach flexing and relaxing in a cycle of gentle laughter that jiggled his supine body around, “I’m sorry babe, I didn’t even realize!”
