Well enough.

Of course, there are stares. Why wouldn't there be? Even once the people on the street have gotten past the more than conspicuous frame of Nikki, I still look like I'm carrying a legless woman in a harness. And Joy is hot. As is Nikki. Meanwhile, me? I'm a slightly above average guy. And not even that far above average. Hell, I'm probably overconfident about my looks! And I'm also retreating inside myself to ramble in my internal monologue so I don't have to consciously deal with whatever the general populace thinks about huge, muscular nonbinaries with huge, juicy cocks or hot girls without legs. Joy and Nikki clearly care a lot less, chattering away about pop culture. Nikki has always been going through shows at a frightening rate, and now they're giving Joy some pointers to what she might like. I suppose I'm gonna reactivate my streaming sub in the near future...

"Here we are!" The café looks... interesting. It's definitely artsy and alternative, with a motley mix of chairs and benches made from pallets, plus an inordinate amount of pillows and blankets. The clientele is rather fitting, and distinguishes itself from the common rabble by barely paying us any attention. Nikki immediately makes a beeline to a low table with some chairs and a pallet sofa, flopping down on the latter and taking up the entirety of the available space as they lounge lazily, their physique making them look like a Roman warrior goddess ready to begin a feast. "What do you think?"

"I like it!" Joy chirps as I sit us down on a dangerously comfy chair that we literally sink into, **** to cuddle by its reclined back. Not that either of us mind. "It's kinda cute and kinda fancy!"

"Well, that's one way to call it," I say as I wrap one hand around Joy's waist and reach for the menu lying on the table - but because we're captives of the chair, Nikki has to push it over to me. "It's got a certain alternative charm, for sure. Let's see what they got..."

After we order some fancy sandwiches that surprisingly cost no more than the ones you would get at any supermarket and some artisanal iced tea, whatever that is, we get back to talking. And Nikki immediately goes into the heavy stuff.

"Okay, listen, guys, I've been thinking." Putting the side of their head into one palm, Nikki fixes us with a serious look. "I am... scarily happy with what I am now. I look, let's say, conspicuous and decidedly non-standard, but I am happier than I've ever been. And to be honest, that might be because that potion messed with my head. Maybe the girl that sold it to me is gonna turn up and I'm gonna be compelled to be her muscle girl fetish wish fulfillment. Maybe not. Maybe this is what I was always meant to be. But you know what? I don't care! All that matters to me is that I can finally look at myself without wanting to jump off... to crawl into a ditch."

"Wow." Letting my head fall back against the back of the chair, I hug Joy tighter. "That's... I'm happy for you, first of all. But it's a lot to take in."

Particularly because the part about 'muscle girl fetish wish fulfillment' hits so close to home for Joy and me. I mean, huge muscles, huge tits, huge cock? It's unfair, really.

"The most important thing is that you're happy though, Nikki," Joy smiles as she snuggles back against me.

"Amen to that," I say, and I mean it. Confusing feelings notwithstanding, as long as the person who's been my best fucking friend for years is happy, that's good enough for me. And whatever else happens, happens. "Now, where's our...? Ah!"

Indeed, our food arrives just in time to save me from this awkwardness, and while we eat, surely we'll talk about something less... that.

To my luck, we do. Everything from gaming and movies to shows and whatever refreshingly normal bullshit we are dealing with in our courses. But the latter topic brings us to the main problem Nikki faces now: Somehow, they need to convince the uni people that they're still them!

"I mean, I called my parents yesterday, and told them some embarassing stories only we know." Nikki grins as they blush and scratch their cheek. "And they were really floored by the fact that magic is real. Although Mom might be considering getting some potions or charms or whatever herself. At least that's what I think after she kept looking at my tits all pensively."

"I, uh, yeah, ah..." My eloquence takes a considerable hit as Nikki grabs one of the hefty orbs and squeezes, soft boobflesh bulging out between their fingers. "Yeah, maybe...?"

"Dork," Joy smirks and elbows me lightly, but she forgets I can feel her heart beating faster and her nipples tingle - she's enjoying the sight as much as I do. "But about the uni stuff: You have access to all your info, right? And you got your student ID, your drivers licence, your... Oh dear. You have to update a lot of things, right?"

"Ohoho, yeah," Nikki winces as they munch on a sweet potato fry. "I'm putting together a list of stuff, and it keeps getting longer! Probably gonna be running to all kinds of offices for the next month until everything's done."

"Phew... Not envying you that!" I chuckle and take a sip of my artisanal iced tea, which is surprisingly good. Definitely better than the swill they serve in the mensa. "If you need help with anything, let me know... let us know, okay?"

"Sure! Although I'm probably just gonna fish for moral support," Nikki smiles, but even I can tell that they're really thankful. "Now, did you guys see the trailer for the next season of Two Kick Dude?"

And with that, we continue eating and talk about way less heavy topics, roughly plan our next gaming session, and I for my part try my best not to ogle Nikki's assets. Both the ones on their chest and between their legs. I never before found myself lusting after cock, but I also never lugged around a symbiotic girlfriend that used to be my dick, and my best friend never turned into a muscular goddess. Hard to believe that a few days ago, my life was normal.

The real trouble starts on the way back to campus, where we planned to spend a bit of time sitting in the shade of the trees ringing the quad. But we don't quite make it there, because I manage to trip on the sidewalk, and with the added weight of Joy, I don't manage to avert our fall. Luckily, Nikki is right there to catch Joy and me - less luckily, Joy faceplants right between Nikki's voluminous tits, and my hand ends up between their legs, right on their bulge.

As I feel a fierce blush appear on my face as well as Joy's, I turn my head to look up at Nikki, who seems just as red as we are. And under my hand, I feel their massive cock pulse and swell.
