Max's POV
Hot. Too hot. Hot and sweaty is how I woke up. This has never happened to me before. I've never been this hot before. My eyes popped open and I still couldn't see. It was too dark still. The sun hadn't come up yet and I had two huge guys holding me. This couldn't be right, I was the same size as these two when I went to sleep last night. How could this have happened? Was I small? Or did they grow?
I pulled my hands out from under the covers, untangling them from four others. I touched my face and could feel no hair or stubble there. I knew I should have at least a little, but there was none. I felt my face, but that just told me that my hands were the right size for my head. I sled up and out of the covers, and that's when I found out my underwear no longer fit me. They came off as I moved. I stood up and found that I couldn't touch the top of the tent anymore. I would have to of been maybe 4 feet tall now. But that means that I would have had to be maybe around 8 years old. Maybe less. And if I changed to that age, then I would be stuck this way for at least a couple of days. I could deal with that, but what I remembered next had me turning as red as anyone could get. I sniffed the air then dropped to my knees. Not 4 feet tall, and not 8 years old. Younger, shorter, and wetter. Most was sweat, but not all of it was.
I used what little light there was to find Husky. It took a while, but I managed to wake him up. His first response was to rankle his nose at the smell. But as he woke up he noticed a little naked kid kneeling by his head. "Max, is that you?" I couldn't talk I was so embarrassed, so I nodded. My head was in my hands and I was starting to cry. I couldn't hold the tears back and I could't control the emotions running through me. I was silent as I knelt there crying in shame. How could I have done this? How could I have changed in my sleep? And more importantly, how could I have peed on Husky and Wolf? This was just too much for me to take in all at once and this early in the morning.
My mind was a complete blank as to what to do. I couldn't move after I woke Husky up. I felt arms wrap around me and pull me close. I tried to back away, but he was just too strong. He held me to his chest tightly as I tried to get myself under control. Finally, a year later, I was able to look up at him with tears still in my eyes and all I could say was "I sorry. I didn't mean to."
He smiled down at me still holding me tight and said. "It's ok. It was an accident. We are washable and so are the blankets. How about we get cleaned up and get a little more sleep?" I nodded and tried to get down so I could help clean up my mess. "No you don't little one. I will get you and me cleaned up. Wolf will get this place dealt with then come and join us in the bath house." And without another word, he stood up and walked out of the tent and towards the hot springs. We didn't go all the way in, just to the shower part. And he started the water not letting go of me the whole time. He sat me on his lap as he started getting both of us clean. Wolf came in and got cleaned up as well. I was handed to Wolf when he was done so Husky could finish getting cleaned up.
When everyone was clean towels were wrapped around the three of us and we walked back to our tent. They walk, and I was carried. I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. But I herd as Husky told my bag to get me changing supplies and clothes for a 3 year old. My eyes popped open then and we were back in the tent. I looked around and saw that the blankets were gone. I had to look way up to see the top of the tent and I almost started crying again. As I was unwrapped from the towel I looked at myself and tried to remember what a 3 year old me would look like. I wasn't 3. I was about 5 years old. A really small 5 year old, but still 5. The emotions hit me again and I covered my face as the tears started. "I not 3 Husky." I growled. "I'm about 5. I'm just really small for my age is all. I've always been small. I hate that I'm so small."
