It was a brisk February day when I decided to attend the Tally Hall show downtown. I had an unfortunate habit of crushing hard on celebrities, and today that infatuation was directed squarely at Joe Hawley, the band's red-tie wearing guitarist. As I waited in line outside the venue, my stomach fluttered with anticipation. Little did Joe know, but I had a secret admirer's gift waiting for him backstage.
 
"Ellis, you're such a hopeless romantic," I muttered to myself, adjusting my bright blue hair. Still, I couldn't help but feel drawn to the awkward charm of Joe's goofy on-stage antics. There was something about the way his red necktie contrasted with his pale complexion that sent my heart racing.
 
Tally Hall launched into their opening act and the crowd sang along. I watched Joe, my eyes glued to his fingers as they danced across the frets. He made it look so effortless, so natural. I found myself imagining what it would be like to be consumed by his passion, to be devoured by his very being.
 
As the final notes of the set faded, I snuck backstage, heart pounding. I spotted Joe in the greenroom, sipping on a soda. Steeling my nerves, I approached him.
 
"Hi Joe, I'm Ellis. I'm a huge fan," I stammered, cheeks heating. He glanced up, startled.
 
"Oh, hey! That's really nice of you to say. It means a lot," he replied with an easy smile. I couldn't help but notice his lips, how full and inviting they looked.
 
"I have something for you actually..." I reached into my pocket and pulled out the valentine's card I'd painstakingly crafted. It depicted Joe's face, with the words "EAT ME!" scrawled across it in glittery letters. I handed it to him shyly.
 
Joe blushed furiously as he read the card, eyes going wide. "Uh wow. This is...very enthusiastic. Thanks Ellis."
 
"Anytime! I just...I wanted to show my appreciation for you, as a fan. And a secret admirer," I admitted, biting my lip.
 
He looked flustered but pleased. "Well, that's really sweet. Though I'm not sure what to say. This isn't exactly a normal gift."
 
I shrugged, trying to play it cool. "What can I say, I'm not exactly a normal fan. I think you're...delicious."
 
That made him laugh, his blush spreading down his neck. "Delicious? Uh, thanks I guess?"
 
Emboldened, I stepped closer. "No really, Joe. I have this...unconventional crush on you. It's like, all I can think about is being inside you. Consumed by you. Eaten by you."
 
His eyes widened and his blush deepened. "Ellis, I...wow. I don't know what to say."
 
"Say you'll eat me," I whispered, staring into his eyes. "I want you to consume me, Joe. I want to be utterly engulfed by your body. Please..."
 
He swallowed hard, Adam's apple bobbing. "I...holy shit. You really want that? Want me to eat you alive?"
 
I nodded, trembling. "More than anything."
 
Joe bit his lip. "It's so crazy but...I think I want that too. Want to feel all of you sliding down my throat, squirming inside me. Shit. Okay Ellis. Get in my mouth. I'll eat you."
 
I wasted no time, crawling over to him and standing before his seated form. Joe opened his jaws wide, and I slipped my head inside eagerly. His mouth was warm and wet, tongue sliding over my skin. I shivered as my shoulders popped past his lips, squeezing tight around my skull. Inch by inch he swallowed me down, throat muscles rippling around my face.
 
"Oh Joe," I whimpered in bliss as he gulped, pulling me in deeper. "Feels so good..."
 
He grunted, looking pained as my bulk stretched his esophagus. But he didn't stop, determined to take all of me inside him. I felt my torso compress, folding in on itself as I slid down his gullet. It was so tight, so snug. His mouth was scalding hot.
 
"That's it, take all of my non-binary body," I moaned as my hips and legs vanished between his jaws. He squeezed his eyes shut, Adam's apple leaping as he struggled to swallow my last inches. Then with a final convulsive swallow, my feet disappeared past his lips.
 
I was fully consumed, crammed into the tight confines of Joe's throat and stomach. I squirmed and wriggled, relishing the pressure of his flesh. His ribcage crushed me, compressing until I could hardly breathe. The heat was smothering.
 
Outside, Joe's hands splayed over his distended belly, kneading the vast lump of me. "Holy shit...you're so fucking huge in there," he panted, eyes watering. "I can't believe I ate a whole person..."
 
I could only moan in response, massaging his organs from within. His stomach acid began to tingle over my skin, starting to break me down. I dissolved into his digestive juices, dissolving with a gasp.
 
Joe continued to rub himself as I melted, eyes rolling back. "Mmmnnfff...Ellis...I'm gonna absorb every bit of you. Fuck, I'm so full..."
 
I surrendered to his processes, feeling myself assimilate into his flesh. Muscle and fat absorbing into his bloodstream, my thoughts dissolving like the rest of me. In the end, my consciousness faded, consumed by the human who I loved. I was a part of him now. And that was enough.
