A bit of a follow-up to this: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35497021/

Seems like Clayton the Gabumon woke up, and while still half-asleep, mistaking the little human for a berry. Let's hope he'll notice him soon enough.
(Clay is actually is a sweetie, so he wouldn't just eat someone like that~)

I made a story to go along with it In fact, my first story ever. I would really appreciate feedback, as well.

A BERRY CLOSE CALL
(contains Unwilling, Unaware Mawplay)

"Aaaand... FIRST! I hereby officially claim this huge-ass monster to be my property!"
Will emitted a wholehearted laugh as he triumphantly stood on the snout of the- for him and his friends at least, massive Gabumon. A sleeping Gabumon, to be exact. One with a grey-colored fur coat, a strange-looking horn, and a bit of a snore. From up here, the human could see all of his competitors, a group of five friends, trying to follow his steps in climbing the behemoth. However, most of them had been stuck at the Digimons yellow, chunky footpaws, one was taking a break on the beast's round belly, while another one just tried to make his way from the upper leg towards the torso. They truly looked minuscule from down there, even for Micros.

"You're real slowpokes, you know that? You all owe me a drink now, as promised! And I expect the good stuff, alright?"

However, the expected cheering or at least answers never happened. Instead, Will saw his friends looking towards him in a... rather shocked manner. "What's going on, can't handle the loss, you wimps?" Even the provocation didn't cause any reaction. Instead, it rather looked like his friends had been frozen to ice, completely still. It took him a few moments to finally grasp what was going on. He turned his head. Very gradually. And directly stared into two gigantic, tired-looking eyes, fixating on him.

His muscles were cramped with fear. Although the beast's expression seemed far from hostile, standing eye to eye with the creature was nothing short of horrifying. Usually, the large folk had quite a deep sleep. Maybe he should have held back his loud bragging. Staring back at this Digimon with widely opened eyes, he didn't notice the two massive fingers coming towards him until it was too late. Pinched between a thumb and an index finger, the helpless human lost his footing and was drawn right in front of the behemoth's enormous nostrils. He screwed up his eyes while being pressed against the slightly cold and moist snout. Massive amounts of air were inhaled, together with Will's scent. It took only a few sniffs until lip smacking was heard, followed by a wet tongue licking the monster's lips.

"Huh... what kind of berry is that? God, I'm tired. Am I too sleepy to recognize the smell?"

The monster's deep voice resonated all around Will, stunning him once more. Completely overwhelmed by the situation, he couldn't move a single muscle, as he was finally lifted off the snout, further away from the muzzle. Now he could see his captor's entire face again, who was curiously mustering the little human, twisting and turning his hand to take a peek from all angles. He clearly must have been half-asleep, unable to determine the 'berry' he was holding was actually a live creature. One in great distress, as well. When Will was turned overhead, he briefly realized that most of his friends were already gone, or running off to safety in the exact moment.

The Gabumon soberly shrugged after a few moments, clearly not caring about the exact kind of berry he was about to eat, as long as he got something at all. His massive jaws parted widely, exposing the rows of sharp fangs inside, together with the large, plushy, and wet tongue at the center. He clearly was salivating extensively, thus strings of drool formed between the tongue's surface and the palate's ridges. Paralyzed and terrified, Will was essentially bathed in the creature's warm and humid breath, as the Gabumon yawned contently, the sound of his voice booming around the tiny man again.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah~ hmmm... time for breakfast~"

The last sentence sent cold shivers down the human's back. He desperately attempted to open his mouth and cry out for help, but was quickly lowered towards the huge, pink muscle, and promptly pressed into the moist surface by the Digimon's pointing finger. Will tried to turn his head away, but failed to do so, his face being squeezed into the plushy muscle. He immediately felt an intense warmth radiating from the mouth, and slimy saliva soaking his clothes. Meanwhile, the Digimon seemingly enjoyed the taste sensation greatly, moving his tongue around underneath his prey, essentially giving him a few full-body licks while murring in pleasure. It was honestly the most delicious berry he had ever tasted.

After tormenting moments of whining and trying to push himself away, Will was finally freed from the finger's pressure. However, before he could jump up and speak up, the beast's jaws snap shut with a booming noise, leaving him in perfect darkness while causing him to stumble onto his back. He took a deep breath, right before the tongue lifted up, squeezing him against the creature's hard palate. Finally, the human managed to emit a rather high-pitched scream, that unfortunately was utterly drowned in intense smacking and slurping noises. The Gabumon salivated even more from the human's appealing flavor, even having to wipe some drool off his chin that had dripped outside, while joyfully licking and sucking on his little treat.

After a few solid minutes of being rubbed against the palate, Will's entire body had been coated in thick drool, and the intense warmth, combined with the pressure from the tongue made him feel incredibly light-headed. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, the tongue finally lowered itself again, giving him a few moments to recollect himself. Everything was spinning around him like he had been on a rollercoaster for hours. With tears of terror in his eyes, he attempted to sit up and wipe the drool off his face, until eventually, his faint voice left his lips: "...h-help..."

To Will's horror, instead of the desperately desired response, the tongue was raised again. This time, quickly pushing him backward. Although he saw nothing but blackness, he knew what was happening. He was about to be swallowed alive. He would die as nothing but an insignificant snack to a huge monster, that didn't even know he was a creature. This thought shot through his head, again and again, looped endlessly, setting off a huge wave of adrenaline rushing through his veins. With all his strength, he fought against the powerful tongue, trying to climb towards the other direction on the slippery surface. Slightly irritated, the Gabumon kept trying to move the berry towards his awaiting esophagus. He swallowed multiple times, causing huge amounts of drool to be sent down his throat with a deep, resounding gulping sound. After the third gulp, he heard something else. Something... unusual. He stopped instantly, perking up his ears. After a second of silence, he heard another noise.

"Heeeelp! Please!"

Suddenly, with a 'Splat!' the little human landed in the yellow palm, amidst a considerable pool of slobber. He gasped for air and covered his eyes due to the blinding sunlight.

"Oh my god! Are you okay? I-I... I'm so sorry, I swear!"

Surprised by that tone, he opened his eyes again, blinked a few times, and saw the head of the creature that had almost eaten him. This time, the Gabumon's eyes here wide opened, a worried expression planted across his face.

"I-I thought you were a... a berry! I- I was still asleep... I mean, kind of asleep! Oh my gosh, are you hurt? Wait, let me dry you up."

Soon after that, the Gabumon utilized a part of his fluffy fur coat to gently pat the human's body dry. In complete apathy, the human let everything happen to him until eventually sighing in great relief. He looked towards the now way friendlier looking monster, gave it a quick smile, before reassuring the docile giant:
"I... I am fine. T-thanks for not eating me, b-big guy. I just... I think I just need..."

Before he could finish, his head sank towards the yellow palm's surface, he closed his exhausted eyelids, steadily drifting away to sleep.

One of the monster's giant fingers lowered onto Will's back, carefully offering a few pets.

"It's alright. You deserve some rest after all that excitement. Sorry again... Don't worry, I'll watch over you while you're asleep, that's the very least I can do."
