Maiden of Milk and Honey
By misterebony
Set in Fairton
 
 
Willy was smiling as he walked down the street. He was holding a little coin purse filled with tips from customers as well as his own pay from working at Morello's bakery the past few days. He was as happy as a clam, humming a tune and—
 
"Edward, you're rabbit trailing."
 
The black-furred feline with a red vest turned to the human beside him. She was a pretty human, with short brunette hair and cute glasses, wearing a dark purple sweater and jean shorts. She chuckled at the feline, looking where he was looking.
 
"There he goes again. Off on another little adventure, no doubt," the woman said. Carmen by name, she chuckled again. "I hear so many rumors about how he feeds the local staff in the food girl district. Almost every one of them by now has had a bite of him."
 
Edward chuckled some. "Well...not everyone. There are so many vendors. True, not all are food girls, but more than a few haven't had that cutie for a snack yet. 'Course, I imagine his most recent meal would be quite the story."
 
Carmen shook her head. "I bet you are planning to tell me it, my friend?"
 
Edward nodded and purred. "Of course. It started over at The Land of Milk and Honey."
 
Carmen blinked. "Isn't that where that one girl.... um... Mitsu works?"
 
Edward nodded. "Let's have a seat. I'll tell you all about it. It began much like today has, with that cute little boy walking down the road. He had been a scrumptious snack for several patrons and helped around the bakery. He made a decent wage doing that, especially for a kid! Anyways..."
 
*************
 
Mitsu was hard at work at her shop. It had been a very busy day, especially given what she sold, and where. While her store was advertised as being for general goods, her highlight was edible clothing, made of woven milk, beeswax, honey, and sugar. She even modeled some of it herself, really. And why not, given what she was?
 
After all, Mitsu was not a human, nor a monster, nor a furry. She was one of a different class of beings, called food girls. But even there, the wrong impression could be given, as she was not food per se. Her skin was whiter than white, and seem to flow in amongst itself. Her eyes were dark brown, and her lips were light pink. She was a being made of milk, and not just one kind, but several kinds. She wore an outfit made of spun milk on that day, colored with food coloring and highlighted by crystallized honey. Her hair, if it could be called that, was done in a pretty bun on top of her head and sealed up with a beeswax clip. She was even modeling a pair of glasses made with seethrough sugar glass and solidified honey. She was an expert designer and a delectable vision of Milk and Honey.
 
Anyways, she was waiting on customers when HE came in. He was a cute kid, with dark hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. He also had a little tummy, perhaps from working with the foodie girls of the area. And he had come in with a coin purse, looking to buy something special. He looked about at the various creations Mitsu had, from clothing to jewelry, and he soon came up to the counter, looking at the front display. Mitsu walked over to him.
 
"Can I help you, little one?" She asked, her tone gentle and soothing. The boy looked up at her and smiled, giving a giggle.
 
"Sorry... are you made of cream?" He asked. Mitsu chuckled some.
 
"Milk, actually. Milk and honey. My name is Mitsu. And you are?"
 
"I'm Willy, nice to meet you!"
 
The woman giggled. "So YOU are the Willy I heard about. A few local shop owners mentioned you, as do some of my customers. I must admit, you're as cute as they say."
 
The boy blushed a little as he nodded. "That's me! I usually help at Morello's. Are you a chef as well?"
 
Mitsu shook her head. "Designer by trade. I use nature itself to craft fine clothes and jewelry. Mostly I use my own milk and honey, but I do use other things. I do know Morello though, it is how I learned about you. You were not there at the time, so meeting you finally is a joy."
 
Willy smiled broadly. "She's why I'm here! I wanted to get my mom a present, and she suggested your shop."
 
Mitsu clapped her hands together, making a light splash sound. "How wonderful! Well, I have many things here. Do be sure to let me know if you see something you like."
 
Willy nodded and went to look. But as she did, Mitsu felt her belly ripple. She sighed, realizing today had been so busy she forgot to have a meal break. With a groan, she went to get some bottled milk and-
 
"Excuse me, Mitsu, I'm ready to check out."
 
Another customer. She sighed and went to ring them out. Then she could go get a d—
 
"Hey, milk woman! Why isn't there any gemstones?!"
 
A Karen complaining.... she sighed and went to resolve it. But after she was done...
 
"I'm looking for some shoes!"
 
Then...
 
"You sell anything for baby clothes?"
 
And then...
 
"I need this in a size 25."
 
"Is this made with lactose-free milk? I'm allergic."
 
"What do you recommend for a gift for someone you want to dump?"
 
"Anything edible for a pred-prey date?"
 
"Miss Mitsu?"
 
"Oh, Miss Mitsu!"
 
"Mitsu!!!"
 
On and on and on without a stop. And that was starting to affect her in a very obvious physical way. Her form became more rippled and unstable. Her hair began to look less professional and even blend into her form. She began to drip now and then. She was literally falling apart without some nourishment. Finally, she was done with a slew of customers....
 
Except one. A very concerned looking little boy.
 
Willy.
 
"Are you okay?" he asked. Mitsu forced a smile.
 
"Yeah.... I'm fine.... I just need.... to get a drink..."
 
She waved to the boy and went back into her private office and opened the fridge. And when she did, she was in for a huge, horrible surprise. She had no beverages of any kind, not even water, and she had forgotten to restock. This was REALLY bad, and she felt like she would cry into a puddle. But she felt the boy put a hand on her drippy form.
 
"Anything I can do?"
 
Mitsu chuckled. This boy was something else, full of heart and caring. In Fairton, there were all kinds, and this boy was one of the better ones.
 
"I'm not sure. See, I'm not a typical food girl. I have to stay hydrated to keep my form. Milk usually works, though I can drink a person or two and that does the trick."
 
Willy blinked. "You drink.... people? How?"
 
Mitsu chuckled. "It's... an ability my kind has. We inject a potential meal with some of our milk, and it liquefies them somewhat. Then we take a straw to the belly button and slurp them up, like a spider I guess. Depending on various factors, it can change my look even. The way I look now is because I try to drink a lot of cow milk, so I have a similar color."
 
Willy giggled. "That sounds kinda neat... what would it feel like?"
 
Mitsu blinked. "So it's true, huh? You're not scared?"
 
Willy shook his head. "Not really. No one ever hurts me. I have been cooked into all kinda of treats, and even blended into ice cream for someone at the park. I don't even think it can hurt, because food girls are so nice about it."
 
Mitsu smiled. This was truly a sweet and selfless little boy.
 
"Well, I appreciate the offer. Tell you what. We will make a trade. You let me slurp you up, and I will let you have anything in this case here. Any one item for your mom."
 
"Really?!" Willy said, beaming.
 
"Truly. And may I make a suggestion?" She reached in and pulled out a beautiful necklace, made from beeswax. In the center, the honey shimmered like a gemstone in six colors.
 
"This is a special amulet. In some regions, it is believed bees are a symbol of good fortune because of their honey. This amulet will shine when it gives that luck."
 
Willy took it and held it. He looked like he was going to cry. The price was much more than he could have paid, so this meant so much. Without another word, he hugged the milk lady, splashing some. She gasped in surprise, them pet his head.
 
"You're welcome." She said.
 
*************
 
A bit later, the store was closed for an hour so she could take her lunch. Willy was shirtless and on the counter in the back rest area, and Mitsu had undone her clothes. She was quite naked herself, though because of her lack of nutrition, she was very drippy and still had an innocent appearance.
 
"Alright, Willy. I have to work in your belly button, so take a deep breath for me."
 
Willy did so. His belly inflated and his belly button became more pronounced. With a smile, Mitsu raised her hand over it. It began to become more like liquid, and flowed into the boys belly button. He giggled as it did so, tickling him so.
 
Mitsu let some of herself flow into him, then produced a straw. With great care, she stuck it into his belly button, and it fit perfectly.
 
"OK, exhale."
 
Willy did as he was told, and watched as Mitsu took the end of the straw and began to drink. She moaned as she tasted his essence, so sweet and yummy, so rich in flavour. She swallowed again and again, and Willy would see what looked like off-color chocolate milk being slurped up.
 
As she did, he noticed two things. Her milky form, before pure white, was now taking a more tan color, almost like flesh. As she drank, she was looking less like she would fall apart into a puddle, and more like a person, though still somewhat fluid. The second thing he noticed was that he was shrinking. No... not shrinking... more like deflating. He felt every part of him was getting smaller, and yet it didn't hurt a bit. He wondered if this is how a balloon felt when it lost its air.
 
Still Mitsu kept drinking, unable to resist the delectable taste. She was surprised she hadn't stopped. Normally when she drank a person, she took a little bit, then blended the rest into cream for later. But Willy was too delectable to stop. She couldn't stop drinking, even as he slipped into slumber, smiling contentedly. She smiled as well, the boy such a treat.
 
Definitely worth the amulet and more, she thought.
 
By now he was completely flat, looking like a deflated toy. But still she sucked, his outer shell getting sucked in with a massive ssssssslllllllluuuuuurrrrrrrppppp! He scrunched into the straw at the belly button, not a bit of Willy left, all liquefied inside of her. All part of her. She gave a cute little burp as she set her straw aside and looked herself over in the mirror.
 
She looked very pretty indeed. Her coloring was now very much like a normal woman. She blush as she realized that it also highlighted her features, and covered herself up with her milky clothes. She chuckled some and gave it a thought.
 
Perhaps a new look for when Willy returned.
 
****************
 
"And he did return, as you no doubt guessed," Ebony said to Carmen, the two seated at a bench. "He went back in, and she had the amulet all gift wrapped, and even threw in some red rose-colored earrings highlighted in wax. His mother loved them, from what I hear."
 
Carmen chuckled. "And let me guess. He goes there to be a tasty drink now and then?"
 
Edward shook his head. "Now now, Willy isn't just food for them! In fact, I doubt she ever ate... sorry... DRANK him again. She would rather have regular milk most of the time. Though having the flesh tones when she drinks humans does allow her to get wardrobe ideas for them, so who knows."
 
Carmen chuckled some and stood up. "Its a wonder he isn't in everyone's belly at this point, little cutie pie."
 
Ebony followed suit and gave his friend a pat on the shoulder. "You never know."
 
And the two walked off, leaving Willy to his plans for the day, to spend his hard-earned money on something to eat.... or perhaps someone to be eaten by!
 
THE END.
