I took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.
Normally I wasn't really the type to panic, but it had been a very long time since I had seen Sunny and that familiar feeling, my heart pounding like a hammer to cement was filling my chest.
After we told everyone the truth, a fact me and Sunny had been dreading for far too long, our friends were in a state of shock for a very long time.
Before long though, we were going every week to therapy, even Sunny.
However this would come to an end after therapy mostly ended for us, letting all of us move on with our lives.
I found myself growing up and becoming a lot more confident in myself, leading to my discovery of my love of crossdressing and liking girly things, it turned out I was very in touch with my feminine side and before long, I stopped wearing traditionally masculine clothing.
I would then find success in the streaming sphere on twitch, as Sunflower Keeper.
This was my life until now, when I found out that Sunny hadn't been doing as great as I was. This was why I stood outside his house in Closet-town now.
I hadn't heard from him since finishing therapy, which was over 20 years ago. I was now 26 years old, and had many lovers since, but sometimes I looked back on my first childhood crush, Sunny even now.
The door opened as I was met with a sight not as shocking as I would have liked it to be.
Sunny looked awful. His hair looked greasy and out of place, like he'd just woken up. His clothes, a dirty looking t-shirt and jeans looked like they hadn't been washed in three days.
Despite that, I could still tell it was him under the grime.
I felt almost rude, with my clean appearance and the flower themed crop top and skirt I had chosen, but I smiled and said "Hey Sunny, it's been a while since we talked huh?"
He nodded and said in the familar strained voice I remembered from therapy "Hey Basil...y-you look good" Sunny's voice had unfortunately been damaged from lack of use and it had been permanent even as an adult.
"Thanks! may I come in?" I asked, trying not let the panic in my voice be obvious.
Although we hadn't kept in contact, I had recently learned that Sunny had been seeming out of sorts, Aubrey and him hung out for coffee for a while now and she had been noticing that he was getting worse, both in appearance and mentally.
However he brushed it off any time she or our friends brought it up, so I decided to finally step in.
I still cared for Sunny deep down more than I should and so as I stepped into his home, I realized it was filthy.
Sunny stepped over all of the garbage and led me to a surprisingly clean living room, but I could tell he had just cleaned for me.
"Can I sit here?" I pointed at the couch as he nodded, sitting at the dirty looking armchair across his living room.
I followed suit and sat down as I becane very aware of what I needed to do.
"So I'm sure you're wondering why I'm here right Sunny?" I said, looking at him
He shook his head and said "You're here....about my l..living situation aren't you? T..the others asked me too, I..I knew you were next Basil."
I nodded, as he looked to the floor knowing what was coming next from me.
"You're struggling aren't you Sunny? I know you the best, and I can immediately tell you aren't doing well" I said in a soft voice, which made him nod silently.
"I'm not here to force you to get help, I know you're not the kind of person who aceepts help easily. I'm here to offer you a deal Sunny"
His eyes widened, I could somehow tell he was surprised.
I continued as I held up a device I had and papers. "This little device is a permanent shrinking device Sunny. It's very expensive. If you sign these papers, I can legally shrink you, and keep you as basically my pet. Now that being said, I am aware it might-"
Before I could finish, Sunny nodded as he came over and asked me for the papers to sign. I didn't hand them over immediately, but then said "Are you sure about this? You're essentially signing any chance you have to live a life outside of me away. You won't be able to potentially turn your life around"
Sunny though, had made up his mind as I sighed and handed the papers to him, watching him sign them. I could tell from his smile, that this was the first time he had smiled in a very long time.
I took the papers back as I asked him to lead me to a open space where I'd be able to find him.
He led me to the middle of the living room, as I held the device towards him, pressing the button as green beams enveloped Sunny.
