Warm autumn days were a rarity this far into fall, and it made for the perfect day for a certain unlikely pair to venture out. Stares and bewildered glances were cast their way, but it wasn’t anything Cerise and Ocras weren’t used to. The seraph wanted to do some shopping at the outdoor mall, they were getting into the fall spirit humans have and wanted to look for some decorations for their home. Ocras was happy to accompany them, and his belly maw that was tucked away under a thick sweater was on its best behavior too (as it was promised a dozen donuts from the local bakery as a reward). Being that this was his first year on the surface he had never done this kind of shopping before, and his interest was genuine as Cerise took him from shop to shop, fawning over the various fall decorations they offered. As time passed they started accumulating bags, this along with the growls coming from Ocras’ stomach meant that their time out was coming to an end.
“Just this last store, okay? We need something to put on the coffee table at home, if we don’t find anything we can get your donuts and leave. Ocras didn’t respond, but the wagging of his spade-tipped tail meant that he was more than happy with these arrangements. Though he was effectively bribed into the trip, he truly did enjoy these outings with Cerise. He’s getting better with controlling his belly maw, too!
“How about that store there? It has a lot of cool stuff inside…” His arms are full of their bags, so he uses his tail to point to it. It was a small shop wedged between two larger ones, it seemed to sell a lot of knick knacks and the like. “Ah, good eye Ocras. This’ll be our last stop.” They enter, with Ocras’ eyes getting drawn to a large chunk of crystal. Cerise makes a disappointed sound, there’s nothing in here that screams “Autumn” to them...but as they look over and see Ocras’ clear interest in the crystal they decide he’s earned more than just a box of donuts. It does look like it’d be nice on the table, anyhow.
“See something you like, Ocras? You can pick out a decoration for us this time.” He doesn’t need any more permission as he moves some of the bags onto his thick tail, eagerly picking up the crystal and moving to the register to pay for it. His tail is wagging….Cerise would find it cute, but they haven’t fully learned how to express the emotion quite yet. With decorations in hand and donuts purchased, the pair makes their way back home. Though the demon was eager to dig into his promised sweets, there was decorating to be done before they could relax. His belly grumbled rather unhappily with the delay but he obliged, stringing up leafy garlands and setting out the crystal with pride. “Heheh, I have a good eye for shiny things! Can I uhm, eat now? Please?” Cerise rolled all four of their eyes before nodding at him, they knew better than to deny him food unless they wanted to be food for a while. He grinned, flashing them his tusks as he grabbed up the donut box and made his way to the couch, turning on the TV and opening it up. Cerise finished up the decorating and came to settle next to him, watching him feed donuts to his belly maw. They won’t outwardly say it, but they marvel at just how much he’s able to eat at a time. As dusk turns to night, they wonder what it’d be like to be a glutton demon like he is...or just what it’s like to eat at all, they don’t have a mouth. “Awh, out of food...I was trying to savor those, too.” Ocras whines as his belly licks a bit of powdered sugar off itself, smiling smugly as though it knows what’s coming next. He stands up to get himself something else, when he pauses and takes note of the crystal. “Cerise...is it just me, or is our centerpiece glowing?” They don’t need to respond to tell him he’s right, the cluster of crystals is giving off a warm light as moonlight from the nearby window strikes it. It’s steadily getting brighter too, causing both parties to shield their eyes as it becomes too bright to handle. When it eventually dies down, Ocras is the first to uncover his eyes. “Th-that was weird...is uh, everything smaller to you, Cerise?” It takes him a moment to realize that everything isn’t smaller, he’s floating! Ocras looks down at himself to realize that he’s floating a foot off the ground, and that the mouth that was once on his chubby belly was gone. Looking back at himself, he notices that while his tail is gone, he has a pair of fluffy white wings and is emitting a radiant glow. “W-woah, I’m an angel now! I have wings again, oh it feels so nice to have them!” He spins around, making a delighted giggle as he flexes his wings. “Cerise! Cerise you have to s--” He pauses as he stares at Cerise, who’s form has changed just as drastically as he did. Their pearlescent skin is now a very light gray, scales cover their forearms and a long, whiplike tail has draped itself across the couch. Four red eyes stare at their clawed hands, their mouth agape and revealing fangs. “Wow, Cerise…you make a really pretty demon, hehe! You’d fit right in back home!” He floats close, albeit a bit awkwardly. “Your horns are smaller than mine, it feels kinda weird without their weight...how do you feel?” Cerise is quiet for a while, before they respond quietly. “I-I feel...weird…”
“Awh, that so? I feel great! Like a feather in the breeze!”
“I...I’m so hungry…”
“Wuh?” That’s the only noise he can muster as he’s suddenly grabbed by Cerise, their grip is firm but not enough to hurt as they stand up. “W-wait, if I’m an angel when I used to be a glutton demon, that means you’re…” Everything clicks far too late for him as Cerise opens their mouth wide, shoving him inside. They barely waste any time tasting him, starting to ravenously gulp him down. His large size compared to their thin body makes this hard, but being driven by hunger they refuse to stop hungrily gulping him down. Ocras doesn’t resist, wondering if this is how they felt every time he gobbled them up. Their tail coils around his body to get a better grip on him as they slowly work down his torso. His wings and belly pose a bit of a challenge, but after folding them down they continue stubbornly swallowing him whole. Gulp by gulp, Ocras finds himself sinking deeper into their body...and honestly, it felt pretty nice. This angel body felt pretty cool, and their insides were so warm...why did people complain when he ate them? Cerise is running out of angel to eat, and he finds himself getting pushed into what must be their stomach. Though they’re pretty skinny on the outside their stomach is quite spacious, and the walls are “cracked” with what appears to be magma, making their dark stomach glow a bit. It groans loudly, the sound is familiar to him as his own stomach would make those noises constantly. The sound of ravenous gulping from above tells him they’re feeling his hunger too, and he’s gradually pushed all the way inside their stomach. His own glow fills it with a gentle yellowish light, and their gut grumbles appreciatively as Cerise sighs. They flop back down onto the couch, resulting in a loud slosh from their VERY full stomach. “S-so full...I’ve never felt this way before…” They make another sigh, satisfied for a moment...before they snap out of their daze and start pawing at their now glowing belly in a panic. “O-ocras?? Is that you in there? Oh goodness, I uh, I’m so sorry! I don’t know what came over me, I was just so hungry and-” He interrupts them by curiously pushing out on their stomach. “I’m okay, hehe! Is this what it’s like in my stomach? It’s nice! I don’t see why it’s so bad!” They push back on him, making a relieved sound. “S-so you aren’t bothered or hurt? That’s a relief, but...ah, I don’t know how to get you out. You weigh me down a great deal…” Ocras shifts around, laughing quietly. “Hehe, now you know how I feel! It’s okay, we can figure this out later!” Later indeed, as the crystal still seemed to be glowing. They didn’t know the effects wore off once sunlight touched it, but both parties were enjoying the change of pace so much they weren’t bothered. Well, one of them in particular was enjoying it a lot, just not openly.
