A casual skating across the grass leading towards the forest was given pause by the thunder crack of a loud and distinct eruption of a belch on the horizon. Shadow stopped in his tracks hearing it, then picked up the pace to rush towards the source as quickly as he could. And sure enough he found a corpulent and recently fed predator sitting on his haunches prominently displaying a freshly padded belly still jiggling with the movements of his last meal settling in as pudge. The black furred hedgehog rolled his eyes at the sight and then looked around, checking the invitation to a race he'd received then looking up to assess the fat fox once more.

While still in the throws of enjoying the pleasure that came from his meal, Tumble barely noticed Shadow's arrival. After looking up to see the hedgehogs aloof unamused gaze for a good twenty seconds did he finally snap out of his daze and jump to his feet in excitement. "Shadow! You made it!" He observed in an excited squeal, rushing towards the other male but was stopped from glomping around him by Shadow holding his hand out and prodding the foxes belly to keep him at arms length. The sudden block of Shadow's hand against his gut made him bounce slightly as he came to a stop, and the pressure forced out a small burp while his belly wobbled on its own under Shadows gloved palm, and Tumble giggled playfully at the reaction.

Shadow huffed as he pressed his hand into the foxes belly to hold him back, about to question the race invitation before his gaze fell on the stomach as he rested his palm against it and noticed the time stamp that had been written onto the fur in  dry erase marker. The unmistakable stop clock record digits displayed on his gut which was noticeably padded from a meal had within the last few minutes, and the lack of Sonic's presence nearby even though he surely would have been the first to arrive at the promise of any kind of race and the conspicuous presence of a chubby gassy fox put all the pieces together in Shadow's mind and he came to a very swift conclusion about the situation. "So this is the race then, I take it? Get eaten by you and try to out do each other's digestion time?" He asked flatly, while prodding a finger into the gut and feeling some jiggling in return from what could only be Sonic reacting to the stimulation.

Letting out a giggle of his own at the accusatory poking, Tumble smiled wide while nodding in confirmation. "You catch on fast! Yup, exactly! Sonic already went so you have a time to beat. Are you ready?" He asked stepping back to put his belly on display for the hedgehog. He cupped his hands under the bottom curve of his gut and gave it a lift, hefting it up and then dropping it so it fell and wobbled like a bowl full of jelly. The muffled moans from the blue hedgehog he already ate could almost be heard amidst the organic jigglesounds of the stomach fat in motion.

Shadow simply began to undress by removing his gloves and kicking off his shoes before he bothered to answer. "Of course, I'm not going to let Sonic beat me at anything. Not open up and let me in, an early lead isn't going to do him any good if I have anything to say about it..." He boasted competitively as he walked forward and practically pried Tumble's mouth open, his fingers gripping at his upper and lower jaw and wetting behind his lips and put the maw wide on display. He continued muttering about how he intended to put Sonic's gurgle time to shame even as he stuffed himself down the foxes throat, shoving his arms down and sliding his face in to feed his own body down the slippery tunnel leading to his waiting stomach.

Tumble yipped in surprise as Shadow yanked his mouth open and plunged himself in, but recovered from the sudden manhandling by smiling around the hedgehogs body and reached to cup between Shadow's legs and held push him up to feed him away even more expediently.  Even as Shadow quickly disappeared behind his lips, the fox tried to take the time to savor the flavor drenching across his tongue. Licking at the carpet of fluff along Shadow's chest, suckling at the red stripes along the black fur of his body and quills, but almost too quickly he was slurping down the tasty males legs like noodles and sending him to spill into the belly below. If they were getting extra points for being devoured as fast as possible, Shadow would have definitely earned them! Tumble groaned and hiccuped before letting out a wet belch from how suddenly the fumes in his stomach had been displaced by the hedgehogs sudden entrance, and groaned catching his breath as Shadow settled inside.

Squelching wet organic sounds and squeezing wrapped all around Shadow as he poured into the hungry sack of flesh, pushing himself against the surrounding walls as they attempted to churn around him helping to get him eased into a cozy position. Once he settled his back against into J-shaped curvature of the stomach he crossed his arms and huffed as the organ rumbled around him adjusting to having so much hedgehog meat stretching it out. A subdued blush on his cheeks betrayed how his natural instincts were reacting positively to the hungry churn of the organ containing him, but that went unseen and out loud he simply expressed impatience. "Make sure you actually record the time. I won't be able to tell, being a layer of pudge and all. But I still want it to be known that I ended up as pudge faster than Sonic did!"

The hedgehogs muffled voice was punctuated with a gentle kick against the inner walls, which sent a shiver up Tumble's spin while he rubbed over the feeling of Shadow bulging out his belly. Hearing him continue to put his priority on this being a competition against Sonic made the fox giggle, and the feeling of his top layer of pudge jiggling independent of the movement within and without of his belly let him know the already digested hedgehog was reacting to the boasting as well. Playfully Tumble pressed down on his belly, rolling his hands across it from top to bottom and squishing it down molesting at Shadow's figure inside as it went. "Of course! I'm rooting for you Shadow. You were always sooooo coool! A-and you tasted absolutely amazing, I loved eating you up sooo much!" He expressed in a fanboyish squeal and hugged down on his gut until another eruption of gastric gas was forced out of his mouth. "Hehe alright lets get the engine revved up so you can start gurgling away!" He announced excitedly, pulling out the stop watch just as his belly began to blurble with activity.

Shadow felt the stomach begin surging with activity and bit his lower lip as anticipation trembled through his body. The walls around him started kneading into his body, tenderizing him while smearing an oozing soak of thick syrupy green digestive juices into his fur and quills until he was dripping from the excessive fluids showering over him. Looking into the pooling build up of belly juices beginning to submerge around his rump and ankles, he scooped his hand into the sticky liquid built up and poured it it from his palm into his bent in legs and up along to his torso and chest trying to rub it even deeper into his body to speed the process along while he still could move. Not to mention the shivering tingles of sheer delight it sent through his body making himself feel even more like the food he was inside the stomach. Soon the effort to move his limbs wasn't worth the pay off as the gut compressed down forcing his face inbetween his knees and his arms were pinned to his sides so trying to shift about only helped to press himself into the churning walls around him.

Forced into a ball, Shadow still contributed to his own digestion in the natural manner a curled up hedgehog would behave, by rolling himself forward revving up into a spindash! With nowhere to go his motion instead simply stimulated the walls around him and sent the rising pool of belly juices splashing all around the constricting chamber and across his body. It was impossible to tell up from left or right from down after a few seconds but Shadow disregarded the dizziness he was causing himself from rolling in place and sought to stimulate the digestive process as much as he could. Eventually the feedback loop of stomach squeezing the hedgehog down and Shadow trying to encourage it further by rubbing himself against the walls causing it to clench all the tighter into his body was too much. Unable to help himself Shadow moaned loudly and incoherently blubbered excited preyslut squealings of "Yes, digest me! Churn me up! Gurgle me into pudge! I'm just food, digest your fooood! Coat me! I'm being digested! I love this so much! I want this! Make me into faaat!" as loud as he could.

Which thankfully for him wasn't very loud at all since he was mostly shouting into his own body and his voice was further drowned out by the muffle of the foxes body around him and the chorus of digestive processing. Tumble only heard the gurgling of his own stomach and the regular release of a belch, a wonderful sound that meant Shadow was digesting well. Soon the outline Shadow made inside his gut was too drowned out by belly juices to even be recognized, and with a final loud squelching burble his stomach drained down, flattening before Tumble's eyes to its usual shape and pumping the hedgehog through his guts. The fox groaned and clicked a trembling thumb on the stop watch to call the time, then dropped the thing so he could rub his hands over his gut and feel Shadow draining into place along his pudge lining accumulating into a new layer of soft chub.  Just like Sonic he was surrounded on all sides by a skin tight padded cell of fox fat, posed out as if he was hugging into and being hugged by the stomach he now contributed to.

Shadow couldn't possibly know how quickly he ended up as a few extra pounds of pudge, and by the end it was the furthest thing from his mind. By the time he was jiggling in place on Tumble's body he'd forgotten about the race entirely and was merely happy that he was processed so quickly just because it felt sublime beyond words to be digested into chonk! Once the afterglow of the stomachs assault on his body faded, Shadow tiredly settled into his new confines and merely tried to move his limbs in a testing manner. Twitching his fingers caused the digits to rub against the snug grip of softness that wrapped around them, and the movement caused the surrounding belly flesh to ripple with activity. A tuckered out grin on his face, Shadow then tried to move his entire body rolling his hips and arching his back and waving his arms and legs like he was trying to make a snow angel! He didn't accomplish much in the way of actually moving, but the attempt sent waves of jiggle across the surface of Tumble's gut even as the fox stood completely still.

Tumble giggled as he saw his belly moving all on its own, bouncing in front of him as Shadow got adjusted to his new home as part of his chubby fox gut! With a delighted sigh he rubbed his hand across the surface of his belly and swayed in a slight trance of bliss from churning up the hedgehog. "Hope you're enjoying your new home, Shadow." He purred to his gut, the fox smacking his lips enjoying the leftover flavor the hedgehog left in his wake. As he enjoyed the sensations he leaned his head back to bask in the pleasant feelings that came from being such a shameless glutton of a predator, his eyes half lidded so that the green tinted glowing figure overhead was too blurred to recognize once he first saw it. Giving his head a shake to focus his attention, Tumble looked up with widened eyes to find Silver the hedgehog floating overhead, looking down at the sight below with a deep beat red blush on his face. A wide grin expanded across Tumble's lips, and with a playful lick of his chops, he opened his arms wide in an inviting gesture and crooked his fingers beckoning Silver to touch down and join the fun.
