Another short, one I'd started quite a while ago and finally finished up! Mainly practice with latex inflation/absorption.

August finds a spare bodysuit that quickly begins to inflate and absorb him...

Latex Bodysuit Absorption
By: Indi

As August dug through a storage locker, the gray lion cursed himself yet again for somehow managing to send out all his bodysuits for repair at once. He'd sworn he had a spare tucked away, but of course it turned out to be a torn wreck.

Now he was stuck frantically searching for spares in storage.

Just as he was about to give up on the locker, August caught a glimpse of something shining at the very back. More junk was pulled out, and a relieved grin grew on the lion's face.

He'd found a spare.

It didn't look fancy, just a plain black bodysuit with no visible brand markings. That's all he needed for the time being though. He quickly changed into it.

August looked himself over afterward. He was used to wearing bright colors, but the solid, pure black was still nice. The sheen was incredible, reflecting every bit of light, like wearing latex. For a spare suit lingering in storage it was certainly in good shape.

Suddenly the surface rippled.

There was a muffled hissing noise as the bodysuit puffed up, long creaaaaaaks as the material stretched. Simultaneously August felt the suit squeeze him as it inflated. He grew stiff, unable to move anything besides his arms. Pushing down on the puffy suit with his paws proved useless, simply prompting squeaks.

“Wha...what the Hell! I swear if this is some stupid prank...”

The lion's aimless threats were cut off as the suit continued inflating. Arms and legs were slowly being enveloped, August reduced to hopeless flailing. Every wiggle filled the corridor with squeaks and creaks, and the hissing was persistent, if easily drowned out.

“Shut down! Shut off! Deflate! St-Stop!!” August yelled to no avail. He tried every command he could think of, and all failed.

August was quickly resembling a rubber ball. As concerning as the situation was he couldn't help but feel joy in the sensation and pressure of being enveloped. Despite his best efforts he was blushing, barely able to hold back a grin. It only got worse as the suit expanded more.

The puffy lion attempted to shimmy towards the wall panel and call for assistance, but his pace was glacial. Groaning as he swelled into opposite walls, August knew he was completely at the mercy of the renegade suit. What he didn't know was when it'd stop inflating.

Almost completely spherical aside from his paws and head, August could only wobble—and moan in embarrassment. Still the hissing continued.

August's head sunk further into the suit as it expanded around him, dominating his line of sight with a slick wall of black. He angled his head up to keep above the “surface” but it only bought him a few more seconds. Latex pressed against his cheeks and over his paws. It swelled over his eyes until only his snout remained, and that was swiftly enveloped as well.

The massive latex sphere lightly rocked, muffled moans barely audible from within. The faint indents where paws and a head had stuck out gradually smoothed over, leaving no marks on the shiny surface.

Inside the orb, August was pressed against on all sides. He could squirm a little, but was for the most part encased in puffy latex. Shifting produced delightful creaks that flustered the trapped lion. The aroma of latex flooded his nostrils and August fell into a stupor, eyes glazing over in the dark.

Why had he been so worried earlier? He was cozy now, more comfortable than ever before. Everything he could ever want was inside the latex ball, so why should he ever leave?

All thoughts of the outside world drifted away.

With August completely subdued, the sphere began to move on its own. There was a hint of fluidity to it as it rolled down the corridor, almost more of a blob than a balloon. It was driven only by the need to add more to its mass—to grow and expand. Fortunately there was always more sustenance on a spaceship.

The others would join the lion soon enough...
