Alp wasn’t sure what to think about this strange world called Tokyo that he had accidentally fallen into, being the dream demon came from the world of Yggdrasil he had never seen all of the bright flashing lights and colorful clothed creatures which roamed about the streets. Usually the beings of his world wore long tailored robes or thick body covering suits, however here in this strange land the mortals sometimes barely dressed in anything at all! The first time the dream demon he had seen a human female wearing something called a tube top he had actually stopped in his tracks. Alp had immediately through that the woman was some kind of whore, after all, only those women who would solicet men for sex would show such skin to the all of those around him.

And then he had spied her speaking to her friends, of which many were not even human, and his phantasmal jaw had dropped in awe. 

Moving past them to scout the rest of the land Alp had found himself beyond curious as to the reason why mortals would be so open with their state of dress, not to mention why they had been so friendly towards those beings such as himself. Watching as a young brown haired human walked up to a literal demon hound Alp was sure that the purple furred creature was going to devour the youth’s flesh and organs before gnawing on the foolish one’s bones. But no. The demon hound had simply walked over to the other and then smiled down at him; their several foot height difference was one that should have had the mortal trembling in abject fear, however the brown haired human simply leaned up and then offered himself to the demon. The larger demonic creature leaned down and then began nuzzling the other’s face and chin in a sign of absolute adoration. 

Alp knew that something inside of his mind had broken upon seeing this, but he wasn’t sure he wanted to do a full review over his mentality to make sure. Instead, the dream eater followed after the pair to the place where the human dwelled - Alp found out soon after that the demon was mated to the human after spying on the larger netherrealm beast laying the mortal down onto the pallet that the other slept on and then began breeding him with all of the passion due to his species - and then waited for the mortal to fall asleep, the demon hound having to take his leave in order to go about his way to something called a nightclub. Once the human was deep sleep Alp drifted over the other and then reached inside of the youth’s mind for his dreams, his spectral hand burned with a dark purplish hue as the maiden moon shone half full outside of the human’s open window.

The dream eater was nearly thrown back by how much energy there was within the dreams that he touched - the sights, sounds, and sensations bombarded him with rippling waves of such vibrancy that Alp let out a ferocious growl in hunger as he yearned to taste the delicious meal in front of him. Thankfully the human was too exhausted from his passionate embrace with his demon companion to wake up, and so the dream eater hadn’t second guessed himself before he had gone to gorge himself on the other’s dreams. Every second he absorbed the unconscious thoughts of the human made Alp all the stronger, his nearly invisible body became more and more tangible under the moon’s cold light as he drank deeply from the well of human mind. It was just as he had finished devouring the mental image of the human and the demon hound mating together that the dream eater found himself pulling back from his victim. Or rather, being forcible snatched back by a glowing purple hand which gripped his incorporeal body with an almost bruising grip. 

Turning himself around as best he could to see what it was that was holding onto him, since nothing should have been able to touch him in his current state of being, Alp let out a quiet whimper as he found himself looking into the drooling muzzle of a very, very, VERY angry demonic hound. There was no mercy shown when the glowing black beast began to thrash him, and none really expected in return, Alp simply took the lumps that were due him as he crashed through the walls inside of the human’s home for the next half hour. The demon hound was at least merciful enough to allow him to live, as he literally kicked the dream eater out of the small apartment hard enough to send the other flying. Alp landed on the ground with a painful sounding slam, his mangled essence dripping free from the bleeding psychic wounds which had come from the demonic hound ripping him apart with claws and fangs. Lucky for Alp he was strong enough to heal himself, though he would be out of commission for several days afterwards as injuries from other demons were often just as bad as those of the holy order.

Once he was well enough to be able to get around Alp went over the information which he had gathered from the human’s dreams. For the most part everything he saw was rather foreign to him, as he was truly a stranger in a strange land, and yet there was an odd place he had seen within the mortal’s dreams which guided him towards an unfamiliar place known as a high school. From what he had seen it seemed as though this place was a gathering for those such as himself who were called transients within this land. Finding his way to this location had taken some time, as Alp wasn’t able to navigate the subway system that everyone within this land used to get about the island nation. Because of ignorance Alp had found himself getting to the wrong side of the country and ending up at a massive mountain that more than a few powerful kami were guarding, the lot of which had not taken too kindly to the dream eater’s presence. A few more beatings had finally led to him finding his way to the high school in question, the sight of which stunned Alp to no end.

Walking through the halls proved to be impossible as there were wards which protected the area from his kind, the shock of this became something that Alp would never forget as he found his inner being slowly become ripped apart as the magick of the talismans and sacred circle tore through him with nearly cosmic force. He was saved from possible dissipation, a fate equal to death for those such as himself, by a sleepy looking bear wearing a medical suit pulling him backwards from the barrier. 

“You’re going to need to take on a physical form if you want to come through here.” the other stated rather boredly as he looked over Alp’s incorporeal body. 

If he could have Alp would have shrugged at such a thought, given that he rarely saw reason to take on a physical form in the past. With that said, he quickly hardened the phantasmal energy that made up his ‘body’. After doing so, and then towering over the pale furred ursine, who still looked to him as though he were about to fall asleep standing up, he was quickly stunned by the other creature’s next words.

“Try again.” the bear yawned. “You go around looking like that and you might actually scare the humans of this world.” The other explained after noting the confusion which shone within the monstrous face of the dream eater. 

Alp didn’t know what to do right then and there, as he only had two forms which he could take. Inspiration quickly dawned on him as he decided to mimic the form of the bear in front of him, drawing himself down to a much shorter five foot plus form which wrapping himself within dense black and white fur. Filling his midsection out with a plume of his dark energy until it looked as though he had an overly filled paunch Alp chuckled as he blinked his purple irises up at the ursine who now had his arms crossed in front of his muscular chest. 

“Ta da!” the monochrome furred dream eater cheered before throwing his arms out wide.

“You’re going to need something other than that hat you have on your head if you’re going to walk around the campus.” the pale furred ursine commented right as he turned on his heel and then headed inside of the building he had walked out of. 

Alp would have grumbled in annoyance before after following the taller bear and then being given some new clothing to wear he found himself rather amused by the entire situation, especially after he met the student body. There were just so many creatures going to school here, some of the beings the same as he was, while most were vulnerable mortals that were just oozing with pleasant thoughts and dreams. Alp found himself salivating as he went about the campus talking with people and meeting his potential meals for the day. It was so easy to lower their defenses by smiling back at them, something he had quickly learned from watching how various other demons went about putting on masks of amusement while speaking with the human students. The fact that he had caught more than a couple of them mating with each other within the back gardens of the high school was something that made the dream eater snort in amusement. 

If it was so easy to get close to humans here in this land then he was going to stuff himself to the brim with the dreams of those around him by the end of the week. Of course, things weren’t as easy as he thought they could be, especially when he tried to prey on another mortal after following them to their home. Once again Alp found himself being attacked by their would-be guardian, this time a dragon made of solid ice that was chilling out within the human’s kitchen. The horned reptilian transient had nearly bitten his head off with crystal clear fangs before Alp had quickly retreated out onto the darkened streets. Because of his panicked flight the panda bear found himself bumping into a rather efficient looking wolf wearing thin strips of pink cloth all across his body.

“My, my.” the taller lupine had giggled behind as he looked down at the injured dream eater. “You must be new here if you’re getting yourself hurt like this.” Alp was about to spit out a rather unpleasant remark to the other demon, yet he kept his mouth shut once he noticed the eye of the black furred wolf’s tail pull forward to stare at him. It was in seeing the crimson eye of the other that Alp realized exactly who and what he was standing before. “Don’t be afraid.” the effeminate male whispered. “As long as you’re not doing anything that I would disapprove of, we won’t have any problems out of each other.” the smile that stretched out along the taller demon’s muzzle was one that caused Alp to shudder, as it was painfully obvious to see the promise of bloody madness which hid behind those sparkling golden eyes. “With that said, why don’t you come with me.” Alp let out a confused grumble as he picked himself up off of the ground. “I think I can show you some techniques which will help you become better at getting closer to those who you have your eye on.” 

And so the black wolf did. 

It took days of training and learning from the mysterious demon, yet it all paid off once Alp learned how to breakdance. The feeling of moving his corporeal body around in a rhythmic manner was one in which the panda bear found himself enjoying without end as he danced in step with the pink clothed lupine. Over and up the dream eater moved his chubby body across the ground while techno trash blasted into the air thanks to a beaten up boom box that the demon wolf had supplied for their training. Because he didn’t have to worry about physical injury all that much Alp was able to cut all manner of moves underneath the colorful lights which shown within the underground colosseum of the Ikebukuro Guild. The black wolf praised him for his ability, commenting more than once on how he was going to wow the humans of this world with his dancing skills, as they were quite susceptible to flashy forms of entertainment. 

Alp found this out firsthand when, after pulling away from his demonic mention, he found himself breakdancing in the middle of an afternoon street down in Tokyo’s more populated district. The sounds of cheering and laughter and praises raining down from the surrounding humans brought a predatory smile onto the dream eater’s chubby face. All the same though, he didn’t make a move on anyone during the day, having learned well enough that trying to be too forward would often land him in trouble by those who saw themselves as guardians over humanity. So instead Alp waited until he was approached by someone else. Usually his targets were young males who were quite interested in getting a feel over his thick paunch and muscular arms, these humans, who were usually students and fledgling businessmen, wanted to enjoy having his powerful form underneath their bodies. And then deep inside of their butts once the sun went down and they had imbibed more than a cup full of liquid courage. 

Alp always played the polite transient for them, allowing his future victim to do with him as they liked for as long as they wanted until they eventually passed out in a sticky heap, before taking his payment from them for his time. 

It was on a cloudy day out within the city that Alp noticed Sara watching him. The young human male smiled along with the rest of the mortal flock as his indigo eyes kept sight over the panda bear spinning around and then popping moves that left everyone stunned. Once he was done performing for the day, having pulled himself up from where he had stretched himself out onto the concrete in a ‘come hither’ pose that always got more than a couple of jaws drooling in obvious want, the dream eater noticed that the auburn haired human remained behind to watch him with a familiar intense expression written onto his face. Seeing no reason to allow such an obvious show of interest retreat into the distance the panda bear quickly picked himself up, switched off the boom box he had borrowed from his lupine teacher, and then walked over to speak with the auburn haired human looking him over.  

“So,” the fake panda chuckled as he wrapped his meaty arms together over his chest and then stuck out his hips in an obvious expression of wanton desire. “What did you think of my performance?” 

“It was good!” the human nodded as his body shook with repressed enthusiasm.

“That’s it?” Alp asked with a little bit of hurt clouding his voice. “Just good?” 

“I’m sorry.” Sara looked away shyly, he then reached up to brush a finger against the side of his face. “I liked the way you moved your body.” the auburn haired said with growing excitement he was obviously trying to hold back. “The way you cut a split into the air was so awesome! And then how you managed to curl yourself around before popping back up without breaking stride reminded me so much of Bathym that I…” the human cut himself off as he turned his head to the side suddenly.

When a blush formed over the mortal’s face Alp replied with, “It’s alright.” the dream eater snickered before going over to pat the tall mortal onto the shoulder. 

When his hand lingered across the other’s shoulder blade for a bit longer than was necessary Alp found himself mentally doing cartwheels as he noticed the young human glance back at him in obvious attraction. That the panda bear could see a thick lump growing inside of the other’s pants was something that served to confirm the fact that Sara was sexually interested in him. Moving his hand down to the other’s backside and then drawing the human in closer Alp let out a ursine purr as he rubbed his head from side to side against the white dress shirt the teenager was wearing. The feeling of Sara reaching down to pat his head brought a near insidious smile onto the dream eater’s muzzle. 

“Say,” Alp called out after pulling back to look at his potential meal in the face. “Do you want to...uh…” 

“Go and get something to eat together?” Sara finished once he noticed the playful smirk which popped across the panda’s monochrome features.

“You read my mind!” 

Their small interaction with each other at a local dinner nearby was the first of many between the pair. Alp found himself slightly vexed that his potential meal didn’t immediately put out for him, what with the human having to go and meet with some friends of his for an evening study session, and yet he couldn’t be too mad about the situation. It was easy enough to tell that Sara was not as human as he looked, though he put on the front well enough for most people to passively ignore him. What the auburn haired creature was the dream eater didn’t know, but he could literally taste the wisp of power which danced along the other’s body. Deciding to play the long game here with the other Alp found himself repeatedly teasing and flirting with Sara throughout the month as he sought to get as close to the other as he could. The small interactions, of which ranged from simply talking together on the street to going out to the movies together, built themselves up over time to the point where it was nothing for the dream eater to casually wrap himself around the auburn haired human while out and about in public. 

That Sara never complained only served to embolden the panda bear, as he quickly made sure to place small gestures of affection over and across the mortal’s body whenever he could. Sara really appreciated it when he would sneak a kiss while the two of them were walking down the street arm in arm. The auburn haired male never failed to become flustered as he shyly blushed while growing quite stiff within whatever types of pants he chose to wear on their outings.

Alp enjoyed their interactions a great deal, as he felt like the proverbial spider drawing closer and closer to a fly caught within his web, however, he forgot one rule when it came to hunting for prey. 

Never get to close.

This fact proved itself to be something he learned the hard way when, after the two of them had settled down to watch a movie together within Sara’s house - the auburn haired male had chosen to invite the panda bear over after a sudden rainstorm had abruptly ended a train of breakdancing the dream eater had been doing one afternoon - Alp found himself actually cuddling up to the human without thought. This wasn’t as strange as it sounded, at least until the polar bear heard the soft sounds of the human above him having fallen asleep, his gentle snores were all the confirmation the other needed to know that his prey was wide open and vulnerable. And yet despite this fact Alp found himself hesitating as he thought about reaching out and taking a hold over the other’s dreams with a hand filled with dark ephemeral light.

It was in that hesitation that made the dream eater realize that he had seriously fucked up. 

Looking into Sara’s slumbering face the polar bear found himself opening his muzzle in a breathless gasp as he found himself wanting to reach up and kiss the human’s plump lips. He had always enjoyed the flavor that lingered on Sara’s lips. Without thinking about what he was doing Alp leaned up and then drew himself and the auburn haired human together. The warm feeling of their flesh pressing together made it so that the dream eater couldn’t stop himself as he began siphoning off Sara’s dreams, the taste of which were almost as delicious as the human’s mortal flavor. Drawing himself back from his mortal prey it actually took the panda bear several seconds to realize what he had done, once he did he immediately turned to scurry out from the apartment. 

To say the least the auburn haired teenager woke up slightly confused and with a major headache.

Alp swore to himself after that night that he would not do such a thing to his human friend ever again.

And he made that promise again after the two of them were snuggled up together in bed together a week later.

And then again once he found himself pulling himself back from Sara after the human had fallen into unconsciousness following a passionate session of butt fuckery a month afterwards.

Three months into the relationship he and Sara had with each other Alp found himself stopping from making this promise as by now it was all but useless as he had fallen into a trap of his own making and now he was suffering for it. Night after night while the two of them laid together the dream eater would devour his human friend’s dreams, drawing from him thoughts and memories and emotions that always painted a happy picture of the two of them together as a couple. If he had been anything other than the creature he was the panda bear would have cried in sorrow, and yet there was no sadness to be found within him. There was only painful acceptance over the fact that he was inadvertently making both himself and Sara suffer, though the other was doing so quite unknowingly. The feeling of disgust with himself was something that the dream eater wasn’t used to, after all, he was a creature of instincts and darkness, so what was the point in feeling such emotions for himself? Yet that didn’t stop them from being true all the same. 

It finally got to the point where Alp became so repulsed with himself and what he was doing that his cracking sanity offered him a solution to his problem, one of which was nothing short of madness.

And yet he was desperate to stop this endless cycle of torment for which he had brought upon himself. 

Watching as a naked Sara slept beside him Alp pulled his own paunch frame up and then moved himself down the length of the human’s bed until he was kneeling on the floor in front of the other. Staring at the tanned soles of his friend’s feet the panda bear slowly opened his broad muzzle to the point where it looked as though he would snap his head and then breathed out a warm puff of breath onto Sara’s appendages. Reaching out to take the human’s thighs into his deceptively strong grip Alp held tight onto his friend’s body and then drew him forward. The feeling of the warm flesh touching his black gaping throat was something slightly new for Alp, as he never consumed another living creature before. He didn’t like the thought of himself enjoying what he was doing, after all, this wasn’t about anything else other than the single minded goal for which had been echoing within his head for weeks now.

Swallowing around Sara’s calves as they were drawn into the darkeness within him Alp closed his eyes as he heard the auburn haired youth groan in his sleep. Pulling the other forward just a little more the panda bear couldn’t stop himself from drooling as he found his taste buds enjoying the flavor of the human he was devouring. When his tongue began slathering itself all across the human’s thighs it took everything within the dream eater to keep from spitting the other back out. Reaching up further across the still sleeping human’s flesh Alp continued drawing his friend deeper and deeper into himself, so much so that after he gobbled down Sara’s thighs he restless tongue coiled like a snake across the other’s cum stained erection, of which was growing firmer with every second shared between them.

Alp willed himself not to think about his throat tugging at the twitching erection which had been pumping itself through his bottom half not more than thirty minutes ago, he had a mission to accomplish! 

Tugging Sara’s wide hips into the depths of his throat the dream eater found himself cracking his eyes open without his permission as his mouth covered the human’s upper groin. The sight of the sweat soaked tanned skin glistening within the cold light of the full moon outside was something that captivated the panda bear, he had always thought that Sara’s tummy was the sexiest part of himself. Grunting in anger at himself the panda bear slammed his eyes shut as he quickly began swallowing his friend deeper into the abyss that was his throat. More and more he tugged on Sara’s body, devouring the human’s abdomen and then his throat before pausing as he got to the other’s head. Purple eyes wrapped within gold opened to see the auburn haired male’s slumbering face turned to the side slightly, the other being completely unaware of the danger he was in. It was at this point that Alp knew that he could still turn back. He could spit the other out and pretend that none of this had ever happened, or, at worst, it was all just a wild prank that was going too far.

He let his throat muscles ripple over the last of Sara’s body instead.

Gulp.

That was the sound which echoed like a temple gong within the almost painfully quiet bedroom as the human became one with the panda bear. 

Alp didn’t know what to think at the moment when he realized what he had just done. His body worked on instinct though, as it still had a duty to fulfill even if he himself wasn’t consciously commanding it to do as intended. Reaching down the panda bear rubbed the outline of the human’s body through the thick fur covering his paunch belly. The feeling of the Sara being safely tucked within him was something that was almost indescribable to the dream eater, and yet it was nothing compared to the sudden sensation of digestion taking place inside of his gut. He of course had eaten mortal food before, it was considered a polite event to take part in as the creatures needed physical sustenance to eat, however for Alp his body simple tore apart whatever was inside of him, transforming it into dark energy so that he could keep up his ursine visage.

Now though, his belly was doing the same as it had before, but to a much larger meal that was quietly squirming inside of him. Alp hoped that Sara didn’t wake up right now, he didn’t think that his mind could take hearing the human cry out in confusion and fear at this moment. Thankfully his silent wish was answered. The auburn haired human remained as quiet as a church mouse as the dark energy within the panda bear began working over his flesh, blood, and bones. Feeling his friend being reduced to a dark pulp within himself was something that left the panda bear breathing harshly for a few seconds as an unfamiliar set of emotions began to overtake his already cracked psyche. That the process was much slower than he was used to was something that Alp didn’t like to think about, he didn’t want to have any thoughts at all, in honesty, least of all a recollection over the process taking place within himself.

Hours later the panda bear let out a massive belch, the likes of which bounced off the walls of the room several times before escaping outside into the world. Once he finished releasing his expulsion of air the dream eater found himself with a much bigger tummy, the effects of eating a creature that was probably more magic than physical as it were, though he wasn’t quite sure. Regardless Alp reached out and rubbed over himself, noting with some mild terror that there was nothing left of Sara inside of himself anymore. The feeling of fullness, both in terms of being physically stuffed and emotionally satisfied was something that would course through the panda bear moments later, for right now though he had to focus on the fact that he had just devoured his one and only friend in order to keep the two of them together forever.

Because that was what he had done.

Right?
