Prompt: A kitsune man turns his girlfriend into a surfboard after his original one breaks.

   Ever since learning about her boyfriend’s condition, Heather had done her best to be supportive. Through her constant reassurances, she had managed to convince Kit to go out in public as his true self. Kit got the expected reaction as they stepped out onto the beach, understandable considering how rare it was to see a black, anthropomorphic kitsune dressed in a pair of swim shorts. Nevertheless, Heather stayed by his side to keep him comfortable as they went about enjoying the nice weather and beautiful scenery.

   Kit’s anxiety was pushed down as soon as he was convinced to go out on the water. Watching from her seat upon her beach blanket, Heather smiled as she watched him effortlessly surf the waves. The smile on his face made it seem like he didn’t have a care in the world. Feeling comfortable enough to do a few tricks earned the kitsune man a fair share of applause from the onlooking audience. The scene was so perfect, making it so heart wrenching when a wrong move sent the surfboard flying into the air to splinter against a nearby dock.

   Watching Kit come out of the water with his sopping wet fur, Heather raced towards him. Noticing the downtrodden look in her eyes, her brain went into overdrive to think of how to help him out. While she did come up with something, actually saying it out loud brought out the expected reaction of Kit calling her crazy. Assuring him it would be fine, she stood out with her arms aloft and gave him permission to work his magic.

   Chewing on his bottom lip, Kit raised up his hands to shoot her with a spell. His powers go to work immediately by making Heather no more than a few inches thick. Losing most of her depth, the rest of her body stretched out until her head was shaped into a dull point. The red of her swimsuit and her facial features plastered onto the wooden board were a bit unsettling, but her eager expression showed no pain or worry. Grasping his living surfboard between his fingers, Kit made one last glance at her face before heading out into the water.

   Resuming his session of riding the waves, what anxiety he felt about using his girlfriend as a surfboard lessened with each passing second. Though he was cautions about stepping over her eyes and mouth, the most he ever heard from her was an excited gasp whenever he flipped in the air. Adopting a similar smile to hers, Kit went all out to show her how much she had helped him, not only in his surfboarding skills, but in letting him be his true self.
