[center][b]Chapter 1[/b][/center]

Was it the alcohol he'd been nursing for the past hour making him sweat, or the slender fox he'd been eavesdropping on? He took another sip, hoping to gain some liquid courage and maybe finally work up his nerves enough to move to the empty bar stool between them. He should have left by now, but something about this mysterious guy kept him glued to his seat.

"It's just such poor timing, first I lose my partner and now if I can't finish this project, I'm likely to lose my research grant." The fox lamented to the bunny bartender as he ordered another whiskey. His sad smile could have melted ice caps.

"How about you Jack?" The bartender turned to him and he nearly jumped out of his seat.

"I'm single too!" He blurted out and blushed.

"Heh, I meant would you like another one?" The bartender pointed to his nearly empty beer mug. He let out a nervous laugh and tried to shake off his embarrassment. After that, he was going to need another one. He nodded and downed what was remaining in his glass.

"Your name is Jack and you're a Jackalope?" The fox sipped his whiskey and flashed him a sly grin.

Jack lowered his eyes and nodded. In all the time he'd spent dreaming up scenarios of how to introduce himself to this fox, he'd managed to blow it in less than a few seconds. And the worst part was, now he looked desperate. It wasn't like he always hung out at bars looking to pick up guys, but surely it must have looked that way to the fox.

"I like that, makes it easy to remember. My name is Julian." The fox shifted over to the empty bar stool next to Jack. His heart began to race, if this was a dream, he didn't want to wake up. The bunny placed a full beer down in front of him, winked and sauntered off to help some other customers.

"So... you lost your partner?" Jack asked, his finger rubbing the side of the cold glass as he gently bit his lip.

"Yeah, he just isn't the same guy he used to be." He. His partner was a guy. Julian was gay! His heart fluttered. Could it be possible that luck was finally smiling down on him?

"What do you look for in a guy? Hypothetically." Jack kept his gaze fixed on the beer, feeling a bit too shy to turn and look the fox in the eyes. 

"Interesting question. I'd like a partner who is a little unsure of himself, someone I can help mold into the person they'd like to be. He'd have to be willing to try new things, and get a bit messy. You wouldn't happen to know somebody fitting those qualities, do you? Hypothetically of course." Julian's flirting could have melted Jack right then and there. 

"I might fit that criteria." Jack blushed, wondering if this was Julian's way of asking him out.

"This might be a little sudden, but if you're interested, would you like to come back to my place tonight?" Julian's straightforward proposition was enough to knock the wind out of Jack. They had only just met. But as much as he knew it was probably a terrible idea, his heart tugged at him, begging him to accept. What the hell, it wasn't every day that a hot fox was going to come on to him. He chugged the rest of the beer and hypnotically following Julian out of the bar and into the refreshing night air.

The Jackalope had a giddy sense of excitement and nervousness in his gait as they walked through town. He only hesitated a moment when they reached Julian's place, wondering if this was a good idea. The moment passed as soon as he pictured that slender body without any clothes on. He shifted on the spot as his pants suddenly felt much tighter.

"My room is just downstairs, would you like to see it?" Julian asked. His straightforward nature only made Jack even more drawn to him, something about the perverse nature of knowing exactly what you want and confidence in obtaining it. He noticed the fox's eyes drifting down to the unfortunately noticeable bulge in his pants. "I'll take that as a yes."

Julian turned, his tail lightly brushing up against Jack's arm as they made their way to a set of stairs leading to the basement. Jack did everything in his power to keep from groping the fox's butt right then and there. All in due time. He couldn't bring himself to be quite as forward as Julian. As he was lost in thought, Julian stopped at the bottom of the stairs and Jack accidentally ran right into the fox. While untangling himself from the situation, he felt the fox's hand squeeze his bulge, sending a shiver through him.

"Sorry about that, I just wanted to mention something before you see my room." Julian's paw was still very blatantly groping his crotch as he spoke.

"Uh, no apology necessary, it was my fault!" Jack's voice jumped as his nerves got the better of him.

"I do much of my research in this room, so it might be a bit of a mess, I hope you don't mind." Julian had worked his paw through the zipper of his pants and was already snaking his way inside Jack's underwear. Once he had a firm grasp on his shaft, he pulled the Jackalope into the room. Jack let out a soft moan, allowing the fox to have his way with him.

He made his way into the room and realized that Julian wasn't joking about this being more like a laboratory. The entire room looked like it was a scientist's work lab. There were jars and vials hung on shelves along the walls, a very intricate computer module in the center, and the room itself was much larger than a normal bedroom. It looked like it was the entire basement of the building. As he took it all in, one jar in particular stood out among the rest. It was larger, sat alone on a shelf, and contained a brown clay like substance. There was a label on it that said "Test subject number 1" and the clay almost appeared to be vibrating inside.

He was about to ask about the jar when Julian removed his shirt. Jack's attention was completely diverted to the muscular body the fox had been hiding.

"I really want to thank you for this, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't volunteered to be my partner for my research project." Julian pulled him in and gave him a passionate kiss on the cheek. At the same time he's managed to completely slip Jack out of his pants. Jack was so lost in the moment that he completely forgot about what Julian had said. He closed his eyes as the fox slid down to the floor, Julian's tongue finding its way up the base of his shaft.

He let out a soft moan, pushing himself closer to the fox's muzzle. Julian continued to tease his shaft as he lifted Jack's hefty sac in his paw. Just as things were beginning to ramp up, he felt a pin prick into his balls. He opened his eyes and looked down to see Julian holding a needle, grinning wide.

"What was that!?" Jack exclaimed. He could feel something coursing through his system and a moment of panic washed over him.

"Shh, it will only take a few moments and then things will get really fun. You said you were up for an adventure, right? Do you trust me?" Julian helped pull him over to a bed as he began to have difficulty standing. His legs felt like they didn't want to move when he commanded them to.

"Can I trust you?" Jack asked, suddenly aware that he was at the mercy of whatever this fox had done to him.

"I told you things could get messy, but don't worry, I'm fairly certain I got the formula right this time." Julian chuckled. Caught in this strange and helpless predicament, he should have been scared, but oddly he was calm. Once again he found himself questioning whether it was the alcohol, the fox, or maybe even whatever the fox had injected into him.

"I trust you," he said, his words slightly slurred.

"Good, then I should explain what being my partner means. You will be assisting me in testing out a new version of my molding formula, once perfected it will help anybody achieve the body type of their dreams. Want to be taller? Shorter? Skinnier? Anything you can think of. You are the second person to have this unique opportunity, and hopefully once I've gathered the test data, you'll be able to help me get my first partner back!" Julian pointed to the jar on the shelf, the contents vibrated and bubbled.

"Shall we begin?" Julian grabbed a scalpel from his workbench and held it against the base of the Jackalope's exposed cock. Jack took a sharp breath in as he felt the cold steel against his most prized part. He didn't have the strength to resist, and with a few quick slices Julian pulled his complete package away from his body. The pain only lasted a moment, and there was no blood from either end. Jack's mind was in a state of panic, seeing Julian fondling his detached balls. But even stranger was the fact that he could still feel Julian's warm paw gently squeezing his cock.

"Test number one is a success. Subject is still malleable, like clay, but maintains some structural integrity. And even without vitals, he can maintain an erection, which tells me there is a bit of muscle memory maintained by the part." Julian's assessment was as detached as his cock, and both made the Jackalope blush deeply. The fox set his flared shaft down on the workbench next to his computer and Jack moaned, hoping that it wouldn't be neglected. His head was spinning, and his eyes were growing heavy.

"Test number two, we will attempt to verify the response of the remote part." Julian fiddled with a few wires that had been hooked up to his computer, attaching them to Jack's sac. Jack couldn't keep his eyes open any longer, but just as he was passing out, Julian slammed down on his keyboard. Immediately a pulse coursed through his balls. A jolt of energy that made his flared cock jump in response. Jack's body seized in bliss as the electrical pulse brought him over the edge. His mind was aware just long enough to see his detached cock spurt a healthy amount of seed in Julian's direction. The fox licked a small bit of cum off of his finger and smiled.

"Second test is definitely a success," he claimed. The induced orgasm was more than he could take, Jack's world spun away from him as he passed out.
