There wasn’t much occasion. But it had been a very long time. So the two thought it would be nice to meet up again. They originally were talking about going out to eat, but Red convinced Sebe they could just keep it to his place. At least; insofar as they couldn’t really find much that Red wanted at the restaurant… So they were about to start walking to Red’s home, but Red started a conversation about the meal they’d have there.

When it came time to discuss the meal, Sebe wasn’t particularly picky. They said they were alright with most anything Red had in mind. “I’ve been thinking… And I thought of a certain meal that’d bring us closer together again.” Sebe asked: “What, like something we’d cook together? I’m not good at cooking. Keep meaning to practice at some point, but -” Red cut them off: “You.” The bear fell quiet. Red continued a little: “You remember I’ve eaten you before, right? You’d still be alright with something like that?”

“... I mean, I would be alright with it, but -” That was all Red needed. He quickly hoisted himself across the table and snatched the bear up in his jaws! Sinking his teeth into the part of his torso just below the neck, he leaned back a little bit, standing still. Like an actual snake would, he bit the bear repeatedly, snapping back the bear further and further into their maw and throat. His teeth poked into the bear, though he didn’t worry much about that being too painful with how their toony body gave like dough. In this way, he didn’t chew: His teeth was merely leverage for keeping the bear from slipping out while he gobbled them more and more in through his mouth.

Internally, Sebe actually had a lot going on. For starters, there were various gates they had to smush up against and go through. A bit unusual, but it reminded Sebe of the cyber nature of the dragon eating them. The first one at the back of the throat made sense, but the following number of them were just a nuisance to the bear’s facing slamming flat against each of them. Thankfully the gates didn’t close on the rest of the bear’s body as they kept going down, but just as they mostly got to the stomach, they found their upper half hanging. They got… stuck?

It didn’t take them long to realize why when they felt something soft, yet damp and slippery glide across their soles. The bear held in a giggle. “Ai erd dat!” The dragon called out: Sebe’s feet conspicuously poked out his mouth, each nearly the size of his maw. But he kept going, repeatedly licking those paws. Red took his time savoring the sweet, aromatic taste of the bear’s cinnamon soles. The bear was sent into a fit of laughter from the tickling sensation constantly darting over their paws, and between their toes as they helplessly wadded their paws up and down. This continued for at least a few minutes.

Finally, Red swallowed. The bear dropped into the stomach fully now. Getting some respite, the bear took about thirty seconds to just breathe… Then redirected their awareness back to their surroundings. They were scrunched up in the dragon’s stomach. No room to stretch their limbs much without pushing against Red’s insides. Especially feeling him in motion now, the bear just… Sat there. As best to be still as they could. They didn’t know how long it’d take to be digested. But figuring they were already here… They decided to simply wait. Unfortunately for them, that was the wrong decision. Because after a few minutes, Red was addressing them again.

“You know prey usually fight against their current situation, right? The least you could do is push against my stomach walls some!” It was true that a little bit of their paw and hand on one side of their body was showing on the outside of Red’s stomach. But the bear remained still. They felt the dragon sit down, and grab the edges of his own stomach. “Well, if you’re gonna just sit like a rock in there, we can speed things up!”

The cybernetic dragon’s insides started to shift around. It was soon that Sebe remembered the extent to which the dragon was cyber when the walls of the insides started pushing inwards from 6 directions. The dragon’s stomach was practically a mini-car compactor! The squishy bear stood no chance of course: Their paw and hand disappeared from Red’s stomach as the attempts to keep the walls from crushing them were in vain. Likewise, Red’s bulging stomach looked like it slowly deflated. The sounds of muffled whimpering and whining came from it as it returned to a more normal slimness.

Their sides were pushed in, as was their back, paws, head, and bottom. In just a second, they were a rather large cube. The compression and walls being mostly internal, making any trace of the bear disappear from the outside looking in. And internally, the walls only receded a little as the next stage continued on. The dragons insides started to heat up: Sebe noticed heating elements all around them being uncovered from various mechanical outlets!

The amount and evenness all around them caused a very uniform melting effect in the bear. They simmered, and were reduced like butter in a pan. In fact, they realized the stomach floor was the only unchanged part of Red’s stomach during all of this. Their form and features melted away. They were reduced to a mere brown oil mixture. A drain was finally uncovered on the cyber dragon’s stomach floor, and the oil was sent all over and around the dragon's body. He was nearly home at this point, too.

Within a minute of walking through his door, Red got plump all over, distributing an entire bear’s worth of biofuel across their body. The drain had piping to distribute evenly: Some went to his paws, some to his belly, some to hisarms and legs. Once all the biofuel was spent, it was converted finally to proper adipose tissue… at least, most of it. Because despite the situation, Red didn’t let it go to his head. Just some to his cheeks. Jokes aside, there was just a little more left over to be used…

“How abooout…” Red playfully poked the middle of his now enlarged, drooping stomach. An unnecessary gesture. But one signaling where the vore tattoo of their meal would go. He was a bit hesitant though. It had been so long, and he wondered if Sebe would still be alright with it. He felt a bit bad for cutting them off earlier. If not, the tattoo certainly wouldn’t be a smiling one. He moved over to a mirror as the tattoo began appearing as if it were being printed. Because it was being printed. But again: It would depend on the ‘ink’ how that image would turn out…

He was relieved to see that, as most of the snout was printed, there was a smile. He kept watching in the mirror as the rest of the head was made. Smack dab in the middle of his belly where a belly button might be on a human, there was a smiling tattoo of his meal. He looked himself over. Much larger than he was typically used to. He felt all over now too… and decided he’d rock this look for quite awhile. “You’ll sustain me for quite some time, Sebe.” He said plainly to his over-indulged reserves. And as he lightly blushed, he felt some warming up that wasn’t his own internally too. Nowhere near enough to pointlessly burn any energy. Just enough to feel a warm, pleasant buzz. One final time he grabbed his stomach, and looked down at the tattoo. “It’s great to have you back too, Sebe ~”
