Joe had really over binged on Friday.
A burger, fries, milkshake. An entire amateur menās league basketball team. 4 bottles of Gatorade and 11 energy bars. The coach whoād watched him assimilate his team and then devour all their snacks.
Heād half-known it was too much at the time, packing all those men into his body. Rewinding their DNA into coils around his own as he compacted all their knowledge and skills into neat boxes for unpacking and reorganizing into his mind.
He hadnāt even really known why he did it honestly. Heād already been a 10 upon his conception, back when his frat had been stuck on deciding a new president. 4 of those brothers had, the help of the college occult club, faceted themselves into each other. A simple process at the time, given the four beer crushing, class failing jocks had practically been the same man already.
It had taken Joe two years of excruciating tedious self-exploration before heād been confident enough to have another go at it. Fusion was a tricky thing, especially if one wanted to essentially be the same guy in the end. Joe was selective, picking guys who already were him in a way, with similar lives and goals. Largely gym jocks, who could use a little more intelligence and game that could be gotten by braiding their brain stemās with Joeās.
At most 1 man a month, largely though only about 6 a year. A reasoinable pace, with enough time in between each man to properly digest their life story and incorporate their mass.
Heād never met a group of guys so much like him though. He had been jogging through downtown and the cocphany of jeering low voices and bodies against bodies had drawn him to their epicenter. A practical army of near identical men, only differentiated by hair color, slight skin tone differences and sneakers. Their personalities and movements were synchronous though, insulting each other the same way and laughing and shoving each other around.
One of them had seen Joe and like recognized like and upon a quick fist bump and introduction he had been in motion with them. Joe had a whole neatly arranged set of memories in his head to be perfect at the sport, much to the teamās delight and enthusiasm.
āYou should play with us all the time broā One of them had said, offering a water. Joe hadnāt even broken a sweat at the time, until that comment.
āYeah wish I could be a man like youā Another had said, enviously taking Joe in.
Joeās mind raced and it was like instinct took him over.
When they began their next practice match, heād been happy the crew was so similar that they hadnāt even noticed their number dropping in between Joe tackling or shoving them into himself. His first becoming had taken ages of pushing and molding, but now he could combine with others in seconds. One second they were there and the next there was a pile of clothes, quickly kicked to the side of the court.
The coach had noticed Joe, learned when the coach became him, but the man had enough wisdom to recognize a good deal when he saw it. To be incorporated into a gestalt of young men meant a second lot in life, a ungodly better one at that given how Joe looked. Not that the coach hadnāt been a looker, Joe giving the man a pass despite how different the guy was to him. He was a handsome daddy and bloated with as much as Joe had taken, 14 guys in all, heād said fuck it, before pushing the old guy in as well.
Joe had really thought heād gotten away with it scott free too. Saturday had been enjoyable even, dozing off to football re-runs as he reshuffled his messy memories in record time. That older coach wisdom working overtime to negotiate nerurons into a working healthy gestalt of Joe. Joe wasnāt really an individual like that, even if functionally he was one person. Joe was more akin to a democracy really, all the individual parts of him deciding on which action heād take, trading their individual experiances to make up his preferences. That night heād gone out and bought a whole new closet for himself, learning in the moment that Kenny made him want his clothes tighter and Jack made him a total sneaker nut. Joe was glad heād lucked out and his now much greater committee of selves were chill exploring himself. Theyād all jerked off and even doing it together, it was essentially the same. Although this time with a whole more experience to draw from.
Still heād felt stuffed that day though. Minds and souls were one thing to incorporate, as insubstantial as they were. But physical muscle and bone, that was something different. Conservation of mass reared its head despite magical assimilation trying to overpower it. Joe supposed it always did, but before his body had had the time to remove the excess and keep going as usual.
Maybe had he kept his libedo in line for at least a week it wouldāve passed and heād burp up all the excess carbon or be stuck throwing up 14 menās worth of excess mass. This release was different though, as they all had. Too many nerves in his new dick, big as it was. It was like his brain melted.
And then he was falling apart.
The first time was like he exploded. Heād cum what felt like buckets and suddenly there was two warm bodies against him. Big bodies, panting.
His eyes staring down at him, pupils burning with all the same neurons that his did. His cock poking into his own ass, wet and leaking.
āHoly fuckā one of them said, not nearly freached out enough to stop from trying to touch himself. Each still so tense and over stuffed.
āAre you both still meā Heād said, worried heād lost some voting members of his gestalt. Just a brief examination of his selves though showed all remained present. All curious and not enough afraid, resulting in Joeās embracing off his other selves.
āIām still the Joe I was a couple seconds agoā One said, moving to slid his body to face his doubles, below himself.
āSameā the other said.
āFuck weāre hotā Joe said, despite the straight male majority of his being. They could all acknowledge the vanity and narcissism that made Joe such a functional being. Joe was bound to be somewhat gay as a gestalt, given he was a being made to appreciate himself.
He most certainly appreciated the selves in front of him, seeing his many selves duplicated in their eyes. He wanted to devour them, line up twin Kenny brains next to each other or see if Clarkās rivalry with his twin brother would only increase with extra copies in the race.
Joe cruched their lips together and was glad to experience his talent in third person. His mouth on his cock, the friction of his tongue down its length. Arms pulling and forcefully wrenching him into the place he wanted to be, straddled on their King bed.
It was well into the early morning until their work resulted in another Joe, their bottom pushing slowly into two exhausted selves on their sweat soaked sheets. The other Joes had kissed their tired selves in jealousy, wishing they too could release the tension just a bit more.
He passed out in quadruplet, four hot bodies steaming in the cold air.
Morning had made each thankful for their spending spree the previous day, given Jackās sneaker obsession would hopefully keep them in the clear of running out of shoes. Theyād be rationing the rest of their closet, at least until their Amazon order of bulk order shorts and shirts arrived.
Showering had left one Joe happily slowly split once more, coming out after the long lonmg shower in twain with happy smiles. The other Joes had showered prior, just slightly annoyed theyād have to fry more eggs for their new fifthās breakfast, although mostly just happy for the extra company.
āThis feel right, right?ā One of them said, clad in old Joeās running shoes, long stretched out from Fridays absorbing fest. Splitting didnāt seem to take away any superficial mass it seemed and thus they remained the supermen Saturday had shaped them into.
āCanāt say Iām mad about itā another said, cuddling the one of them frying bacon to go with the fifty odd eggs piled next to qa stack of toast.
āFeels less lonelyā their chef said, smiling to himself as he felt his own arms around him. Heād realized it filled something missing in his core.
Joe was a team of more than 30 men in himself, working towards the same goal. Fufillment, sex and success, simple as that. It was a goal that Joe had been working toward to his own legion of satisfaction, but he hadnāt realized the self-sabotage of a project like himself.
Women were fine, men as well. Joe could find companionship easily, hell he was a magnet for it. He had all the combined charisma and jokes and sex appeal that made the world fall to his knees. He could have it all, anyone, anytime. They wouldnāt understand him though.
They all wanted to know Joe, but Joe wasnāt a single guy with his single ambitions. He was many life stories, each with a part to say. It wasnāt a topic that Joe could ever truly broach, and heād tried. Woman found him self-centered and his few relationships with men lasted for weeks before they inevitably joined him.
His duplicates though. His brothers really. They didnāt need to be made to understand. They knew it all. That Charlieās jokes were typically the ones that Joe decided upon, or that Rory made him run everyday. They even knew the parts of him that liked to fade into the background, the guys like Kyles and Josh who were happy to ride along as Zach and Tony powered Joeās career and Riley and Cody filled out Joeās hobbies. He wouldnāt need to make up some bullshit to disguise his massive life history or justify his existence.
āHope we actually get fourteen of usā One of the Joeās split from a shower said, shoving his split mate into his lap to mess up his hair. They were practically built to be in a crowd, how had Joe not seen that before.
āThink we can still fuse together?ā another said and it was something theyād all been thinking. So theyād never have to diverge, always able to reconverge and split back into pieces. So they could all share whatever guy would next join their fold.
āDefinitelyā Another said, and that was the thing with their magic. Intention was everything, even if Joe only ever intended things to be Joe.
āLaterā a sensible version of them said, speaking out what their new Coach part warned. Coach already proving to be a useful voice to the impulsivity of their whole.
āGood to wait out this whole mitosis thingā heād said, one of him. It came out in two voices anyways, given he was the Joe who hadnāt split his first time yet. His vision beginning to double as he felt every mind in him double. His hair getting thicker as the strands parted and he face split in two.
Watched his other self-smile in pride as his point of view divided.
āSeems like it goes slower each timeā He said to himself.
āYou donāt like spending time with me?ā he laughed, half wishing he could still have his twin next to him like this.
āFuck off Joeā he knocked his own head, much to his own chagrin.
He could already feel the division spready past their necks and double their chests. Even still a tension lay in his cells. More mass waiting for a bit to begin churning out another of him.
He kissed himself and was so excited.
