The Big F Surprise Ch. 01

It was just an ordinary day in the world like any other. Things were moving at the typical pace but it was all a deception. A calm before suddenly and without warning the entire world erupted into a massive chaos. People coughing, fevers, reports of passing out from just walking down the street. The whole world erupted into one massive pandemic almost simultaneously. Governments went into action and quickly tried to get people into their homes and out of the public as they attempted to figure out what cluster fuck was happening this time. But this was far worse than anything before. While people weren't dying, massive swaths of the population were practically knocked off their feet into delirious states of high fevers and sweats.

That's where we come to meet the lovely young couple of Alex and Eris. The two were scared out of their minds as they watched the television worried for their futures and the futures of the planet given so many people were being taken down by this virus without any warning and nothing seemed to stop it, only alleviate the symptoms a bit. These two were quite lucky as they were a rather introverted couple that both had the joy of working from home. They'd already been living together for more than a year and were on their third year together. In fact, Alex was already building plans to propose to Eris in the next year or two if things went well, but with the current crisis he wasn't sure if he should panic and ask now in hopes for a better future but risk public exposure, or hold off and hope that things would go back to normal quickly somehow and wouldn't be worse than the last time.

Eris was just as scared as Alex, though she tended to show it a bit more. Her grandmother and aunt had both died early in the last pandemic and she was worried even more seeing so many people sick this time, so she clung even closer to Alex in this time of fear while making sure to call her parents and family to make sure everyone was ok.

Like that, the first week of panic and uncertainty passed. Finally, the governments of the world came forward and said that the virus seemed to be multiplying rapidly in those that it infected, but instead of being able to kill it off through natural or unnatural means, the virus was attacking the immune system itself. Rewriting the cells to basically ignore the virus. It was a first of its kind, and the authority figures still standing claimed this most likely meant that the virus was manmade. This along with the international explosion almost simultaneously of the infection meant someone also did it intentionally. All those who could were investigating any way to counteract this virus, but so far, anything lower than chemotherapy was not working fast enough to get rid of it. So, while the authorities that be would like to solve this before it gets any worse, given the lack of lethality so far, they wanted to ask the public for more time to try and counter the virus in a less destructive and possibly lethal and expensive manner.

This set off a bomb of conspiracy and panic in the public, but given the curfews already set in place around the world and most being more than willing to lock down in their homes who weren't practically passed out from constant fever and delirium, the panic didn't cause much damage. But the internet was flooded with ideas and claims. Anything from Aliens to some master plan to control people with microdrones. Things like human engineering were the most common thread on the more scientific sites since the virus wasn't harming anyone, but changing their very cells instead.

But none of this really helped Alex or Eris calm their fears or rationalize anything as after that first week Alex began showing symptoms, and within a day of growing a fever, he was staining the bed with sweat and saliva as he was sent into a delirious nightmare. The whole world appeared like it was swaying and squirming around him and the only constant was seeing his girlfriends teary eyed face as she tried her best to take care of him. He desperately wished she didn't have to wear a mask as she tried to wipe away his sweat, but it wasn't as if he could do anything about it.

That was when a new announcement came out. The first recovery was documented, but it wasn't exactly a recovery, more that the virus had passed its debilitating effects. The announcement came. The virus didn't stop at the immune system. It transformed every cell in the human body over the course of two to four weeks and genetically altered the infected person. The result was a hermaphroditic human with only a casual aesthetic similarity to the original person, but at a genetic level would appear almost nothing like their original. There was nothing left to reverse the effects with a similar agent, just an entirely new person with memories of their old life. More studies were required to see the overall effects and if this was the end stage, but the woman who had recovered first and turned seemed cognizant and unaltered when it came to her mind.

This caused another flood of conspiracy theories and fear among the populace. Especially the religious sort as claims of the world order turning them all gay or into transgenders was a very common attack and claim as many called for violence. Others claimed it to be a weird sex experiment gone wrong. Or possibly some locked genome becoming awakened. None of it really mattered as Eris read and saw the results and worried for poor Alex who was suffering through all of this alone. She wanted desperately to help him more than this, but could do nothing. And the worry that he would turn out like that woman or worse since there weren't examples of recovered men as of yet left her in fear that something even worse might happen. But, as she grabbed a blanket to sleep on the couch that night, she felt hotter than normal and drifted off to sleep rather uncomfortably.

Three weeks later, Alex finally opened his eyes and recognized where he was. No pain, no harsh swirling colors. Just the ceiling of their apartment. Of course, that didn't mean he was completely fine. His poor throat felt drier than a desert and his body still ached in the cool wet sheets he was laying on. Smacking his lips he tried to speak but little came out as his poor throat was not reacting as he hoped.

He groped at the sheets and tried to get up but was struggling even more. Luckily, his fevered scratching and noise drew the attention of Eris and for the first time in a long time he saw her face without a mask. She was just as beautiful as ever and the bright smile on her face from seeing him looking at her with clear eyes only made her more beautiful as she walked over in the pair of old sweats she'd been wearing more and more during the lockdown.

"Alex, hun, you're awake. Thank goodness~. You were under for so long I was really worried. I mean, the news said you should be ok, but there were still a lot of outliers out there that made me really worried. But I'm glad to see you're ok. Here, let me get you some water and a cloth. Just lie still." Her hand brushing his forehead and flicking his hair back from his face before heading for the kitchen.

This left Alex a little breathless still as he clung to the blanket atop him, even as he tried to relax. He'd made it past the sickness, and from what Eris said, it seemed so did a lot of people. Maybe it was just a bad mistake or something that happened, and a really bad flu strain had taken them all down. But at least seeing Eris helped him relax and feel everything could be ok.

Eris came back with a cup of ice water and a damp cloth in hand which Alex eagerly grasped in his hand and brought to his lips. The feeling on his throat felt like the greatest relief there could be and the loud gulps echoed out rather noisily as water brushed his lips and even spilled down his chin.

Eris just smiled and said "Take it slow hun. There's plenty more and you've been out for weeks. There's a lot you need to catch up on and a lot we need to do to get you really back and on your feet." She brushed the cool cloth across his forehead and wiped the sweat away from his head and then neck and soon his arms that still clung to the glass. Finally without any more drops of water to guzzle down Alex gasped for air and tried to sit up into a better position now that he didn't feel like every breath was laced with sand paper. But as he sat up, he felt the sheet slip away from his body, and it took way longer than he remembered and finally a rather shocking tickle hit his nipples and he couldn't help but yelp in surprise at how sensitive he was. Like his chest was just brushed raw and left throbbing by course fabric. He reached up to soothe his chest, but found a lot more than he expected to be their. His fingers reached for a thin and flat mount on his otherwise body but healthy body. Instead, the thin rods poked against a rather soft and bouncy blob which brought another yelp to Alex's lips which were definitely higher than before.

Finally looking down he saw what the source of all this pain was and realized that instead of his manly flat and thin chest, he was now sporting a pair of massive breast that were hanging from his chest and covering the site of his stomach. The two rather red and prominent nipples standing on end from each pillow of fat the obvious source of his previous sensitivity. His skin still very much coated in sweat just making his chest look like a pair of shining flushed mountains as he breathed harder and faster by the second.

Seeing the fear and frenzied reaction in Alex's eyes Eris quickly tried to calm him down. "Alex, hun don't panic. I know it's shocking, but it's ok. Just take a few deep breathes and try to calm down. I promise I'll explain everything ok?" She tried very much to keep him in the moment and not freaking out. But even with that Alex was very much still struggling.

He panted and panicked more and more as he tried to come to grips with what he was seeing. He heard Eris' words, but didn't think clearly as he swiftly reached down to see if everything had changed, but luckily found a firm rod in his hands that seemed somewhat familiar. It wasn't hard, but it was still aching and sensitive and there, which helped him calm down a little more but his reaction was still high and he couldn't help but shout "Explain? Explain what? Why do I have boobs Eris? What the hell kind of sickness gives a guy boobs?" He looked at her like it was the most dumb thing he could think of to happen and didn't believe it was just the sickness.

Eris pressed her hand to his shoulder and said "It's ok Alex. Just let me explain. The virus....it wasn't natural.......Someone made it. In fact, they caught the bastard. Just a few days before you woke up they cornered them and arrested them. It was worldwide news. But um......the virus didn't just give you boobs hun. It uh.......well, you already felt you're still....male.....but you're also.....well....a girl now too. The virus turns everyone into hermaphrodites Alex. It makes them both men and women. So....young don't just have boobs, you've also got a vagina now too.." She said a little more broken and nervous about his reaction as she tried to tell him slowly and struggled to come up with a soft blow to tell him the truth. She'd already read numerous articles and community guidelines on helping people wake up and adjust, but that didn't help in the actual moment, so she struggled to come up with anything more than the brutal truth.

This led to Alex having quite the reaction. First came the scrunching of his legs against each other in surprise and fear of suddenly feeling the pain of having a hold in his body, but there was nothing that made him feel out of place truly except for the press of his breast against his now raised thighs which just made him lower them once more. He tried to look into Eris' eyes for hints of a joke or some kind of lie, but there was nothing but fear and concern so he quickly reached down once again and brushed his much thinner and foreign feeling fingers past his crotch and sack and tried to brush his fingers against the perineum, but soon felt a now much more sensitive and puffy piece of skin just past the heft of his sack. That sensitive skin, buckled under his finger before squishing aside to allow his probing digit to slip against a far wetter and warmer part that sent a rather strange shock up Alex's body. It was there, he wasn't sure how having a real vagina would be, but if the feeling of his fingers on Eris' cute bits from before were any indication, he had one now.

Alex's face went pale at the feeling and he quickly removed his hand from the site and squirmed in shock at the strange feeling the new unfamiliar itch the reaction of his finger had on his new hole left him with. Eris tried to let him realize things were real, but seeing his shocked face made her giggle a little as he went through so many reactions. This forced Alex to react in a not too great way as he shouted "This is funny to you? What the hell Eris? This is life changing. How can you be laughing at me right now?"

Eris tried to calm down and heard the anger and hurt in his voice, so she quickly tried to calm down and be serious, but it was a little difficult as she said "I'm.....I'm sorry Alex. It's not funny....it's just.....haha.....oh......you just looked so silly bouncing around like that and after weeks of seeing your basically change slowly, seeing your face make so many silly expressions makes me relieved and a little silly since I probably reacted very similarly and always wondered how I looked."

Eris' words hit Alex like a train as he realized she had said everyone who was sick was affected. "Wait....Eris, did you get sick too? But......But you were fine when I woke up?" He asked in a bit of trepidation and concern as his anger abated.

"Yup. I recovered about a week ago. Everyone is a little different in how long they were sick, but women seemed to have a bit of an easier time of it only taking two to three weeks whereas you and most men took between two and five weeks. You were out for nearly four yourself hun. I just had the luck of knowing what was going to happen and having about a week already to adjust to things. Don't worry, I'm here for you." She said opening her arms to Alex in a familiar hug as she brought him in close for a warm embrace. It was familiar and yet so different. Eris was never gifted in the chest department, but with Alex's new assets their chest combined rather quickly and made a decent separation between them that wasn't there before. But the feeling of his bare chest pressing against her clothed cushiony chest was completely foreign and tingly to what was supposed to be a soft and comforting embrace. Still, Alex enjoyed the much needed hug. and sighed against her shoulder.

As Eris rubbed his back though, he finally asked, "So...if you got sick, that means you're also now..... you know...." he asked carefully and tried not to sound like an ass about it.

Eris though giggled once more and said "Yes hun. Sorry to tell you, but you're not the only one packing anymore. I now know why you always claimed it wasn't your fault the toilet was so messy. Shits hard to aim." She tried to make a joke of it and keep him from thinking of the darker thoughts she'd seen people comment on online and was luckily successful. Alex couldn't help but chuckle himself, though with his new voice it matched very similarly to Eris' giggle which made him feel a little weird.

The two backed away and calmed down a bit more. "So wait... you said they caught the guy who did this? Does that mean there might be a cure?" Hope bubbling in his mind that since this was a virus and manmade, that might mean there was a manmade way to go back.

Eris sucked in a breathe and didn't appear like she had good news though. "Unfortunately no hun. The guy, well, person, they caught was a maniac. He wanted a world to be just like his favorite porn and devoted his life to making it reality. So, he developed a virus that completely rewrote every person's genetics to make them a perfectly functioning feminine futanari. Apparently a lot of people online are calling it the futa virus since that's the porn category the freak was going for. He even turned himself first and hid for a while looking like a normal woman, but who didn't have a record to track. That's why it took so long to find them. They'd already destroyed all their research and notes to make sure things were as permanent as possible and without the knowledge or processes they used to do this, it's nearly impossible to fix. There's no genetic switch to flip back, we're all like this now, and though we might be able to fix a virus in about ten years to get people back to their original sexes, some men and women have changed so much that they wouldn't go back to looking like they had before.

I was actually one of the luckier ones. My poor sister ended up with breast even larger than yours and a completely new face. If I didn't know it was her phone, I wouldn't have recognized her at all. Let alone most men. The pervert wanted only feminine futanari to play with, so, there's no manly people left on the planet. I doubt any of them or you would be able to get your original looks or body back even with a cure. You'd just have a man's body, but even that is estimated by the government to take a decade of research at this point since they have to develop the thing and make sure it's release in enclosed and safe spaces instead of as a viral infection that might leave the whole world sterile as one sex. Sorry hun, but for now, we're stuck like this." She consoled him as much as she was able, but seeing him react with so much hope that she'd felt just a few days ago, she couldn't lead him on like she had been and tried to make sure he knew their reality as soon as possible. Of course, this was all just online and public speculation at this point. Maybe some researching genius would make it faster, but for now, this was the best estimates available that weren't just conspiracy theories about turning the whole world gay.

Alex calmed down and looked down with a slightly depressed expression. Though, it seemed much more like a cute pout now with his newly feminine lips pressed together softly and his eyes appearing glossy from the held back tears. Eris rubbed his back a little more and said "I'm here for you hun. Don't worry, I've had a whole week to learn as much as possible and prepare for you to wake up. We'll get better together. I swear it. I love you~" She said with a sweet and warm smile on her face and a look of hope in her eyes as she tried to cheer him up.

Alex slowly looked up and into Eris' familiar eyes and felt a little better. What was he doing? She was going through the same thing and had to do it all alone and still take care of him and she was still be so caring and comforting even though he'd already acted like an ass several times. He looked up and tried to smile saying "I love you too babe. Really. Sorry for being such an ass"

"It's fine hun, I know the shock of it. Don't worry. We'll get through this." She leaned in and kissed his now soft and wet lips with a warm peck before backing away in a familiar sign of love between them.

The kiss felt sweet and Alex felt just a little bit safer and even his pal below acted a little happier at the feeling, but them he suddenly felt a massive pressure on his lower crotch. One that was all too familiar and quickly swished his naked legs out of the bed and cried out "BATHROOM" before running for the door.

Eris bounced aside, but tried to follow him before finding the door slammed in her face. "HUN, Make sure to aim and spread your legs. We only pee through our penis now, but the.....feell.. is...."

"OOOoohhhhhhhh....wa....ahwahhhha..." Came a cry from the bathroom as Alex had a very familiar sounding reaction to what Eris experienced before.
