There is a concept that states that to obtain something of value, something of equal value must be given in return. If you gain something, you pay the price willingly or unwillingly.

I first encountered the concept in a TV show about a pair of brothers who attempt to use magic to bring back their dead mom, and it backfires pretty badly because there isn’t anything that’s as valuable as human life. It stuck with me, and I’m glad it did, or things might have gone off the rails. Well, more than they did.

Let me back up a bit so this makes sense.

*****

I’m Zach. I was only 20 when I met my boyfriend, Will. We were both theater nerds, though he had transferred into my school from community college. By then I was already making a bit of a name for myself, thanks to my romantic looks and tall, lean build. I was no hunk, but I was sexy, and I knew it, but I tried to play it down with false modesty and leaned a bit into the nice guy vibe. I like to think it was true, but I did play it up. I also worked pretty hard on the craft, because I had it in my head that I wanted to be taken seriously as an actor and not just rely on my looks. I also knew I had a fair bit of talent, and my profs had instilled in me the notion that talent was only going to take you so far. So I worked hard, and I built a solid work ethic by sophomore year. By that point I had been acting regularly since I was about nine, had a few awards to my name, even a local commercial.

So here I was, ready to audition for a play where I’d likely get the male lead again.

And this adorkable little blond nerd with honest-to-god freckles and big blue eyes behind wire-rimmed glasses shows up to the audition, too. He was in a baggy dark blue zippered hoodie that was only partly zipped, white t-shirt, and jeans, and he was called before me. He stood up, then immediately tripped just enough to unbalance himself – and spill his coffee all over himself.

He cursed and shrugged off the hoodie, but his white tee was ruined. It had got about 10 of the 12 ounces in the cup. So he pulled the shirt off and hastily threw the hoodie back on.

Now, Will was shorter than me. I’m pretty tall — at least 6’4”. He was probably 5’6” – but he was *ripped* under that t-shirt. Tight, taught, 8-pack abs and satisfyingly meaty pecs and shoulders, and arms that matched. The faintest bit of downy hair traced a trail into his pants, which I suddenly doubted were as baggy as they appeared.

I gulped, swallowing hard.

Fuck, someone needed to trash that hoodie, and every shirt in his closet, for daring to cover that up. He was *hot*. And I now had a boner to contend with.

Thankfully, he had to audition, and I had a good 10-15 minutes to recenter myself before it was my turn.

I spent it in the bathroom, in the most urgent and speed-run wank session I’ve ever engaged in. Pure business: get the boner out of the way and BREATHE again.

They called my name just as I was leaving the bathroom, thankful for the noisy fan and aggressive sanitizer smell of the room for helping hide the evidence of my masturbatory moment.

My remaining frustrations, I tried to channel into the audition.

*****

Fuck. He got the lead. I got the menacing villain.

Still a juicy role, and my height really helped make me look more a threat. The female lead went to Angie as it often did, who was a mere 5’2” and with her sultry latina looks, made a hell of a pair with ol’ Will.

But I was gracious, right up until the first read-through, when I saw the obvious chemistry between them and knew the director had made a good call. That pissed me off.

Was I jealous of him?

Or … was I jealous of Angie?

*****

Three weeks in, and my sour expressions hadn’t dimmed, apparently.

“Seriously, Zach, you need to tone it down. If you’re just getting in the zone, that’s one thing, but you don’t need to stare daggers at the boy!” This was from Davon, my sassy gay friend, who was likely doomed to a lifetime of typecasting as the sassy gay friend. He was one of those guys who was flamboyant at 2 and out by age 5. “I know you’re the baddie and all, but REALLY.”

And he was right. I hated that he was right.

I’d been staring angrily at Will and Angie for weeks and I began to suspect, with mounting annoyance, that it wasn’t my character’s beef with his rival that was driving them.

It was my own growing obsession with this perfect little studmuffin.

Now, it’s fair to say that I wasn’t *out* per se, but I wasn’t exactly in. And I wasn’t exactly experienced, as they say, but it was a theater department at a mid-sized school, and experimentation wasn't exactly rare. I’d kissed about half the people in the show, including the crew. But somehow, it never went beyond some modest groping and a fair amount of making out.

Pro tip: theater nerds are almost always either massive hoes or repressed awkward weirdos when they’re off stage – sometimes both. Makes things exciting. We’re also often pretty tactile and cuddly, which I suspect comes from embodying emotion very broadly. Without fail, we crave attention and we get it from each other whenever we can.

Anyway. Davon was right, and he must have caught my expression before I shut it down.

“Oh my GOD you’re hot for him aren’t you?”

“Shut up!”

“Babe, I ain’t judging. Boy is FINE. If he were a bit taller he’d be unstoppable, but who doesn’t love a short king anyway?”

“Angie seems to,” I groused.

“Did you forget that lovely girl bitched at you at the after party for the last show? I seem to recall her complaint that you were too damned tall and made her neck hurt….”

“Shut up,” I countered. Brilliant retort, wasn’t it?

“Now honey,” he whispered. “You know I am not one for telling tales, but you ain’t the only one who got caught looking at the other.”

My expression told him everything. Or possibly the deep blush did.

*****

I reined in my staring as best I could. Now that I recognized I was feeling some kinda way about the boy, I could properly separate it out from the character and really focus properly on performing, or at least that was the plan. But I still avoided him outside the theater setting, to the extent I could.

Looking at him – when I wasnt playing a character that hated his dreamy prince – was kind of painful. He just got better looking as we rehearsed, and made it hard to control myself.

Besides, I *liked* Angie and she seemed to like him, and I was pretty sure they were “getting into character” on the regular. No good would come of me lusting after him. And I could tell that the apparent hostility was bleeding over, making me a bit sharp with the rest of the cast. I didn’t need to turn them against me, and it wasn’t fair to the show, and… and it wasn’t fair to him. Why was I like this?

Fuck, I *was* lusting after him. Just purely physical lust. I’d resisted getting to know him at all, despite plenty of opportunities, and I’d rationalized it as staying in character. Well, I wasn’t about to let my stupid horny brain keep distracting me. I needed to figure out how to channel that into something useful.

Acting is magic.

It’s all about illusion on one level, and on another it’s about transmutation. It’s how you combine a bit of trickery with a bit of empathy. You get part of the way there with costumes and makeup and lighting, but when the actor really finds the hook for a character, he can go from cosplay to performance. A great performance is felt and transmitted between actors in the moment, and combined with the illusion and willing audience, can make hearts break or fill with joy as needed.

A key skill is to take the power of one emotion, or memory, and use it to power a different one. Need to cry on command, you call up the memory of your grandfather passing away. Your passionate love that reads so well? It might be the fact that you’re hungry and annoyed. You do a bit of emotional alchemy every time you act.

So if you’re decent at reading people, and decent at imagining and empathizing, you have an advantage in talent . You still have to learn the lines, work out the blocking and the timing, rehearse, and do all the other things. You have to learn and earn those skills, and you have to build a professional ethic — that isn’t always easy. Everyone has a different mix of those natural talents and skills and habits, but you need some of all of them to have staying power. A pretty face or hot bod or great voice don’t hurt either, but they’re things that get you noticed and cast; they aren’t going to substitute, in the long run, for the other elements.

If you have looks and talent, you still need to work on those skills. And despite what I can clearly see in hindsight was an appalling sense of ego, it’s fair to say I had looks and talent. More than most. But I’d rarely had my position as alpha dog of the theatre kennel truly challenged. I was getting a lesson in humility and not enjoying it.

Because objectively, Will was really good at the acting stuff, on top of being a secretly hunky, sweet nerd. He seemed almost too wholesome, and of course that’s why he was cast as the hero. Whereas I’d been cast the villain for similar reasons: my height and smoldering dark eyes and sharp features made me a natural opposite. Neither of us could change those fundamentals about our looks.

And so I shrugged on a bit of maturity and got the fuck on with the work, repurposing my list into my character’s jealousy. And boy did it work. The villainous tirade could have been arch or camp, but instead i drew on my lust and played it as a confession, and damned if he didn’t react in kind. That rehearsal, that pivotal climactic confrontation was electric. The crew actually applauded.

We both realized we’d just made that magic, and impulsively hugged.

It was then, I think, that I realized that he was doing the same thing I was and channeling his own lust into the performance. Because when we hugged, we were both hard as rocks.

*****

We managed to keep that same energy up through final dress, and by then the skills could keep us on the rails. Practice makes perfect, right?

Opening night we knew we hit our stride, and the reviews that Sunday were full of praise. By the time the show wrapped a few weeks later, there was talk of regional awards. We were all giddy, but I had to keep that energy going for the show, so I tortured myself by keeping my distance from Will whenever I could.

It was at the wrap party when Angie proposed a toast to “her boys”.

“Okay boys, show’s wrapped, you don’t have to hate each other anymore. So, time to kiss and make up!” She said. And suddenly the cast and crew began egging us on.

We shrugged, and obliged.

And suddenly, all that tension released, and got replaced by excitement. We kissed — a quick peck on the lips, and then the damn burst as both realized with some surprise that we wanted more. We kissed like we had waited months for the chance, ignoring the laughs and cheers of our crew. When we finally pulled apart and gasped for air, our eyes stayed focused on each other.

And half an hour later we were making out in the storage cubby off stage left.

*****

A week later and there was no point hiding it — everyone knew we were together. Secrets tend to have a short shelf life in the department. But we didn’t care.

Because that first week, we actually got to know each other, and not just in the biblical sense.

Will had been scrawny until he got beat up once too often in middle school, and that led to him dedicating a good chunk of his high school years to making sure it didn’t happen again. Somehow all that testosterone swimming through his veins had been too busy pumping up his muscles to make his face too jockish. The effect was that of a former twink who was perpetually surprised to have hulked out. The same discipline and work that he had put into learning his lines, he’d honed building his body. He wasn’t super bulky but he was utterly ripped and shredded; when he flexed his muscles exploded with power and size, taking him from toned to tanked. It contrasted with his innocent doe-eyed face.

Whereas I was in decent shape, fit enough, and tall. I had dark eyes under thick brows, and they made me look romantic, apparently. But my real gift was my oversized bait and tackle.

By the time I got to college, I was well aware that I had a big dick and balls. Nearly eleven inches long and overly girthy, it had been the bane of at least two short term relationships already. Not everyone is willing to deal with a boner the size of their forearm. But somehow I’d kept the full extent of it hidden — luckily I was a grower and flaccid, I was only about 5.5 inches.

We didn’t talk about our dicks at that point, for what it’s worth. We were kids, and on the cusp of actual adulthood. We made out a lot, kissed and groped like mad, but events conspired to prevent us doing more than that for nine whole days.

*****

“Jesus, you have to be twice my size,” Will gasped.

We had finally got enough privacy and enough time, at the same time, to go further. And as we made our best efforts to not die of embarrassment whilst simultaneously yanking off shirts and unbuttoning trousers, he managed to free the beast.

I was nearly at full mast, and it had been an uncomfortable couple of minutes for me. My cock sprang up like it was on hydraulics.

“Fuck, man, I knew you were big, but god damn.”

“You can talk,” I replied, eyeing his spectacular torso. “With your monster pecs and a frikkin ten pack…”

He blushed adorably, taken back. I took advantage of his distraction to yank his pants down.

“…shit. You have to be so disappointed,” he said.

“Why?” It was just a normal dick, maybe 5 inches and a bit on the thin side.

“I’m kinda small down there.”

“Big everywhere else,though,” I replied. “Fuck you’re sexy.”

“You don’t mind?”

“I wanted you to fuck me,” I said huskily. “I’ve never been fucked before. I don’t think I could take anything bigger than that, anyway.”

“Really?”

“Really. But you’ll need to prep me a bit,” I said. “Lube is in the drawer.” So were condoms. I picked a box of standard size and a box of magnums.

He didn’t need to be told twice; he began to work my hole with a lubed up finger and soon two. I’d read up and watched some videos — it’s amazing what’s out there these days — and I’d managed three fingers a few days before. I had also done what I could to be as clean as possible.

It’s fair to say I’d given it a little thought. I was ready as I could be.

Will took his time kissing me while he worked me open, and then handed me a condom. I stretched it over his straining cock — it fit decently — but it occurred to me that I was glad I’d had the sense to pick up some jumbos. (No way would those regular size rubbers would fit my cock, and that wasn’t my pride talking, just reality.)

All of those thoughts were instant and nearly simultaneous; my brain was busy shouting “HE GONNA STICK IT IN ME” over and over.

And then, finally, he did. He hoisted my legs up, lined up his cock, and pushed, slowly.

I thought he’d ripped me in half at first, but that was just inexperience. My ass had just gotten used to a couple fingers, and was outraged by this new bold intruder. But he sensed the sphincteral panic and gave it a moment until my butt realized it wasn’t so scary.

He could see the pain in my face, and laced his fingers in mine, and told me it would be okay, and he was right. We were breathing, almost in synch.

“I’m okay,” I said, after a moment. “I think … I think you can move now.”

He gently pushed further inside, cautiously, watching me intently. I gasped a few times and shuddered, and then he began to pull back. So far so good, I thought, It was getting better pretty fast.

Then he found my prostate and his stout helmet bumped it and I saw stars. A gout of pre spurted from my raging cock, and maybe it was the angle (it was barrelling toward my chin, the way he had my folded), but it looked bigger than ever.

“OH SHIT” I gasped.

Will was a quick study, and now he knew where to aim, he began to work his way up to a steady, and very accurate, pounding. His strong hands effortlessly lifted my hips to guide the trajectory of his dick. Every time he shifted my position – because I was effectively useless by then, my hands uselessly bracing my torso against his pushes but accomplishing nothing – he found an even better angle. In retrospect, his relatively short dick needed to be at max to hit my love button properly, but his strong core and stamina made it easy for him to reliably adjust and plumb my depths. And my ass seemed to want him there, desperately clutching his fuckstick only to feel every bit of him slide past.

I don’t think we lasted as long as it felt, because it was a new experience that burned itself indelibly into my brain. I barely had time to warn him, but we’d been in pretty good synch anyway, and shot our loads almost at the same time.

He pulled out and half rolled onto his side, his latex sheathe filled with cum and still attached to his barely-abated raging erection. He kissed me and we snuggled happily for a bit, though I was covered with my own secret sauce – it had hit me in the chin, the forehead, the top of my hair, the pillows, the headboard, and the wall behind the bed.

And then after about 10 minutes, when we’d caught our breath, he grinned and pulled me on top of him.

“My turn,” he said.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. And no. But I want to try.”

“I don’t want to hurt you – you’ll tell me if it hurts?”

“I expect it to hurt a little,” he said, with a faint hint of nervousness behind the excitement.





*****





Unfortunately, no amount of lube or enthusiasm was going to put my giant dick into his ass, not without casualties. His ass tentatively accepted one finger with a generous amount of lube, and then unwillingly allowed a second. But several minutes into our attempt, it was clear that was nowhere near enough. My bloated glans was too fat for his poor ass.





“FUCK,” he roared. “I really wanted to try it.”





“Shh, it’s okay,” I said. “We have time, we could work up to it.”





It was a good theory.

“Really. But you’ll need to prep me a bit,” I said. “Lube is in the drawer.” So were condoms. I picked a box of standard size and a box of magnums.

He didn’t need to be told twice; he began to work my hole with a lubed up finger and soon two. I’d read up and watched some videos — it’s amazing what’s out there these days — and I’d managed three fingers a few days before. I had also done what I could to be as clean as possible.

It’s fair to say I’d given it a little thought. I was ready as I could be.

Will took his time kissing me while he worked me open, and then handed me a condom. I stretched it over his straining cock — it fit decently — but it occurred to me that I was glad I’d had the sense to pick up some jumbos. (No way would those regular size rubbers would fit my cock, and that wasn’t my pride talking, just reality.)

All of those thoughts were instant and nearly simultaneous; my brain was busy shouting “HE GONNA STICK IT IN ME” over and over.

And then, finally, he did. He hoisted my legs up, lined up his cock, and pushed, slowly.

I thought he’d ripped me in half at first, but that was just inexperience. My ass had just gotten used to a couple fingers, and was outraged by this new bold intruder. But he sensed the sphincteral panic and gave it a moment until my butt realized it wasn’t so scary.

He could see the pain in my face, and laced his fingers in mine, and told me it would be okay, and he was right. We were breathing, almost in synch.

“I’m okay,” I said, after a moment. “I think … I think you can move now.”

He gently pushed further inside, cautiously, watching me intently. I gasped a few times and shuddered, and then he began to pull back. So far so good, I thought, It was getting better pretty fast.

Then he found my prostate and his stout helmet bumped it and I saw stars. A gout of pre spurted from my raging cock, and maybe it was the angle (it was barrelling toward my chin, the way he had my folded), but it looked bigger than ever.

“OH SHIT” I gasped.

Will was a quick study, and now he knew where to aim, he began to work his way up to a steady, and very accurate, pounding. His strong hands effortlessly lifted my hips to guide the trajectory of his dick. Every time he shifted my position – because I was effectively useless by then, my hands uselessly bracing my torso against his pushes but accomplishing nothing – he found an even better angle. In retrospect, his relatively short dick needed to be at max to hit my love button properly, but his strong core and stamina made it easy for him to reliably adjust and plumb my depths. And my ass seemed to want him there, desperately clutching his fuckstick only to feel every bit of him slide past.

I don’t think we lasted as long as it felt, because it was a new experience that burned itself indelibly into my brain. I barely had time to warn him, but we’d been in pretty good synch anyway, and shot our loads almost at the same time.

He pulled out and half rolled onto his side, his latex sheathe filled with cum and still attached to his barely-abated raging erection. He kissed me and we snuggled happily for a bit, though I was covered with my own secret sauce – it had hit me in the chin, the forehead, the top of my hair, the pillows, the headboard, and the wall behind the bed.

And then after about 10 minutes, when we’d caught our breath, he grinned and pulled me on top of him.

“My turn,” he said.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. And no. But I want to try.”

“I don’t want to hurt you – you’ll tell me if it hurts?”

“I expect it to hurt a little,” he said, with a faint hint of nervousness behind the excitement.





*****





Unfortunately, no amount of lube or enthusiasm was going to put my giant dick into his ass, not without casualties. His ass tentatively accepted one finger with a generous amount of lube, and then unwillingly allowed a second. But several minutes into our attempt, it was clear that was nowhere near enough. My bloated glans was too fat for his poor ass.





“FUCK,” he roared. “I really wanted to try it.”





“Shh, it’s okay,” I said. “We have time, we could work up to it.”





It was a good theory.

Full metal alchemist
 
A week passed, and several more sessions where we tried, and failed, to be the vers types we hoped to be. Turned out all his muscles were strong, and that apparently included his sphincter. He was profoundly annoyed that he couldn’t take my cock, but for my part, I was getting exhausted taking his. He fucked with enthusiasm I could match, but the strength and stamina? No way.

And he was upset because our sex life was starting to feel one sided, like it was all about him. He was a sweetheart, and he wanted to please me as much as he could. But my arms and legs felt like noodles after a couple rounds. I loved it, but I just wasn’t as strong as him. Plus, our difference in builds limited our options a bit.

I began to worry we were sexually incompatible – but maybe physically incompatible was fairer. We were into each other and aroused by each other’s bodies. The more we tried, the worse it got. If anything, his butthole clenched my poor fingers even harder than the first time. No amount of lube or prep seemed to make it any easier.

The morning after our fourth failed attempt, Davon picked up on it, and, being Davon, pulled me aside for a barely whispered convo.

“Girl, what is that look on your face. I know you gettin it regular from that short king, is he bad in bed or something?”

“God, no,” I said. “I mean it’s been good, if a bit exhausting. But I’m… I’m too big for him,” I whispered.

He pulled back, and engaged in a fully theatrical scan and read.

“How hung are you, baby?”

I blushed. “Pretty big.”

He held up five fingers, then six, then seven, to which my intense stare never wavered. He arched an eye brow and resumed. When he held up his tenth finger, and I was looking embarrassed, he relented.

“Damn,” he said appreciatively, “I ran out of fingers before you ran out of dick!”

“I’m a grower,” I admitted.

“And you never said anything to me? You know I like a challenge…”

“Ha ha. But it’s been a problem before. What good is it if nobody can take a dick that big?”

He shook his head in disbelief and sat down next to me. “You just gotta be patient, sweetie. Get some toys and a lot of lube and maybe some poppers, and work your way up to it.”

He sounded sympathetic, but something had shifted in his eyes.

“Davon, stop looking at me like that.”

“Like what? You can’t drop a bombshell on me like that and not get a reaction,” he said. “Mister casually boast about his giant dick and how his hot muscle boyfriend can’t take it, you have to expect some curiosity.”

He was right of course.

“So. How long?”

“Almost 11,” I said.

“No, dummy. How long you been trying?”

“Like half a dozen times. Lots of lube, too,” I sighed. “He is just too tight. I managed two fingers and I thought he was going to break them.”

“Rimming?” I made a face. We tried it but the combo of his protein rich diet and my sensitive nose made it …well, not my favorite thing.

“I see. Toys?”

“He still wrestles, and you can’t really do that with a butt plug.”

“I totally would,” Davon chuckled “but that’s why I’m not on the team, I guess.”

We sat in silence, then his expressive face told me he had an idea.

“Let me think. You aren’t strong enough to match him, and your dick is too big for his ass, right? Hmmm. Let me think for a bit. I’ll text you.”

*****

Around lunch the next day, I got a text.

SASSYGBM111: May have something, meet me at midnight by the prop room.

Will had some family thing that weekend, so I had the time.

Like many theatres, there were multiple levels. There was the basement, which opened to a big open shop space, and there was the sub basement, which was storage for costumes and props. Davon meant the latter, and honestly it was a bit spooky when the place was empty. The lights were on but unhelpful in breaking the vibe.

“Zach? Back here,” he said. I followed his voice into The Cage, where we locked up some of the more valuable or breakable stuff, including the regalia we used for the theater society inductions.

“How do you have the keys to this?” I asked, incredulously.

“Never you mind,” he said. “I only use my powers for good and you know it.”

I chuckled nervously. The lighting down here was suspect and it was creepy.

“So what is this all about?” I asked.

“This,” he said, waving an old leather bound tome, “is the prop we used for Faustus two years ago, but it’s been around for a lot longer. The library got it from a collection but thought it was just a blank book, so they let us have it. But the thing is, it isn’t blank.”

He handed it carefully to me, since the binding wasn’t in great shape. I flipped though, but it appeared to be just that — an old blank book.

“I don’t see anything in it.”

“Try looking through this,” he said, handing me a worn stone with a hole in it.

“Holy shit,” I said. The thing was littered with words and diagrams I couldn’t make out. But only when I looked through the stone.

“Yeah. Fucked up, ain’t it? I was working props with Meredith, who graduated that year, when we were goofing around and looking for spooky shit. The old hippie at the crystal shop said it was hag stone. I kept it in my pocket and was always looking through it. I never told Meredith because she wouldn’t have believed me.”

“Can you read the words?”

“Mostly. Some of us didn’t sleep through all their classics courses. Some of us got an A in Latin.”

“How very lucky.”

“Zach, this is an actual magic book. There are spells in it,” he said. “And I can read them.”

He was excited enough that he wasn’t putting out his usual Flamboyant Gay energy. He just sounded like a nerd now.

“Have you tried any of them?”

“Just one,” he said. “I don’t need that stone to see the words now,” he said.

“This is amazingly cool, but I fail to see how it’s relevant to my situation.”

He flipped through several pages, and pointed at a blank page. Oh, right, the stone.

“That right there may be the answer. It’s supposed to allow you to transfer physical characteristics, to restore balance. Like you could use it to punish your bully by taking his strength, or a liar by draining his charisma. It’s all very D&D,” he said.

“That sounds dangerous and…kinda evil,doesn’t it?”

“Only if you use it on someone who isn’t willing or deserving of punishment, according to the notes. But I think if two willing parties exchanged attributes, it would be fine. Consent and intent are kind of the big things for magic, apparently.”

“I guess that makes sense. What’s involved?”

“A really straightforward ritual where you both agree to the exchange, and I say a bunch of words in Latin.” He pointed at a passage. “Roughly translates to beseeching the universe to balance something that is off balance. I think it has to do with karma or something.”

That didn’t sound so bad, really.

“Hmmm. I guess I can ask when Will gets back,” I said.

*****

That night I thought about it a lot. If I traded him a bit of cock size for a bit of his muscle, we would be a better fit. Or maybe some height. I could lose two inches and still be tall. He’ll, I could lose two inches and still be hung. And he could lose ten pounds of muscle and still be jacked.

It was a ridiculous idea, but unless Davon was pulling one hell of a prank, it might actually work.

Fuck if the idea hadn’t got me all hot and bothered. My cock was rapidly approaching full mast. I guess my libido had undergone a bit of an upgrade, too, even if my legs ached after a couple sessions with Will. And my back. And my shoulders.

With a cock that long, I’d discovered in high school the joys of a little creative self love. Since it crossed nine inches I’d been able to lick myself, and for the last five years I would, occasionally, find myself beyond horny with no relief, and succumb to the temptation. By this point I could give myself fairly decent head.

But suddenly the idea that this might be the last time I could suck myself off wouldn’t leave my head. It made me a little sad. But soon Will would be back, and if this magic bullshit worked, I’d find other ways to scratch my itch.

So I went for broke.

If you’ve never managed it – and to be fair, most folks can’t due to a lack of flexibility or length – I am truly sorry you’ve missed out. The closest is 69-ing with someone roughly your size, I imagine, but when you’re sucking yourself, it’s *your* flavor you get, not someone else’s. It’s a feedback loop, an ouroboros of carnal stimulation, and that’s just the physical aspect. The mental aspect is pretty rad, too: you’re overwhelmed by it, proud of your dick and your flexibility and your oral skills, and the only one around to praise is yourself. Of course the deeper you can go the more amazing it is, but even if you can only tongue your own glans, I urge you to try. Edge if you can, at least a little, because it’s SOOOO worth it when you finally blow in your own mouth.

Anyway, I was halfway down my own throat, with my butt against the wall and my knees near my head, happily gobbling my own knob and lost in my own little world.

“Fuck, that’s hot,” Will said.

What the fuck? Something about the surprise triggered me, and I damn near choked on my own come, as I shot spectacularly down my greedy gullet.

“Bravo, hot stuff,” Will said, leaning over to kiss me. He didn’t mind the jizz all over my face so neither did I. I hadn’t fully swallowed so there was definitely some sharing.

*****

Yeah, he’d come home early, so after I got over the shock and embarrassment of being caught in my little solo act, I cleaned up a bit and sat down and raised the subject of Davon’s proposal.

He was skeptical. Understandably.

“You have to be joking. This has to be some prank. Davon just wants to see my little cock, or something,” he said.

“Okay, first, you know he’s not like that. If he wanted to see your cock, he’d just hound you endlessly until you caved, or he’d walk in on you ‘by accident’ while you were changing.”

“Fair,” he grumbled, “but still, you have to realize how ridiculous it sounds.”

“I do,” I replied. “But if you still think it’s bullshit, no harm no foul. Just… for the sake of argument, would you trade away something for a bigger dick – bearing in mind that I could stand a little downsizing in that department?”

“Theoretically? Yes. I could lose a bit of muscle and still be a twunk, and you’d look great with some more beef on you. But it’s ridiculous.”

“I’ll tell Davon that tomorrow works.”

*****
 
When I got to the end of part 2 and saw that was it, I nearly gasped out loud! Very eagerly awaiting the next installment 😳
 
Will was still feeling the same about it the next morning, when Davon confirmed the time and place. And after class, when we adjourned to the basement storage room. A large piece of muslim had been painted with two overlapping circles . The lights were fairly dim (for atmosphere, no doubt), but we could see pretty well.

Will was STILL scoffing until we did the hag’s eye routine. It was adorable watching him do pretty much the same thing I did, and cycle through to a sort of grudging acceptance.

“Okay,” Davon said. “ step one, you’ll exchange something physical between you. You could switch shirts or underwear or something.”

We shrugged and swapped shirts. I always enjoyed watching him take his shirt off.

“Now you stand, each in a circle, and grasp hands in the center,” he said, and we did, feeling a little silly.

“You both understand and are willing to exchange some attributes?”

“Yes,” we said in unison.

“I want you to focus on what you want, and what you’re willing to give. Don’t say it out loud, but keep it focused in your head. This is where you affirm your intent.”

“Got it,” I said. Will just nodded.

“Well,” Davon said, “Showtime!”

He grabbed our linked hands and lifted them up, then said in a loud voice:

“Aequilibrium desiderii restitue. Da quod meritum et libere datum est inter haec duo. Fac ut ita sit, donec desiderium evanescat aut libra aequa sit.”

*****

Magic, apparently, isn’t always flashy. But sometimes it is, and this was one of those times.

The room got REALLY cold, all of a sudden, and it felt like static electricity was running all over me, for just a moment, and then…. Nothing. No sparkles, no funny noises.

But a mild tingle where we were holding hands, still.

“Weird,” Will said. I nodded in agreement.

We stood there stupidly, looking at each other.

“Boys, that’s all. It should start kicking in tonight, and it’s supposed to be gradual…so go home and do whatever it is you do, and tell me if anything changes.”

*****

By the time we got back to my room (I was closer), the tingle hadn’t gone away and we were both pretty horny.

“Do you wanna?”

“Yes,” I said. “But maybe we should wait? See if anything changes?”

That plan worked until we stripped down to our boxers and got into bed. At which point the tension, which had been climbing steadily, broke with a nice kiss that promised more.

“Zach, this weird plan…I don’t really expect it to work, you know.”

I smiled indulgently. “For an actor, you don’t hide your feelings very well.”

“Can’t help being a skeptic. But I’m keeping an open mind. Because you were willing to try something crazy, for me.”

“For both of us,” I insisted. “I have more dick than I can use. And you have beef to spare.”

“Such a crazy idea,” he tutted.

We smooched a bit, and cuddled, suddenly feeling more intimate than horny. Even if it was a form of puppy love, it felt real, and his beefy arm over my chest made me feel protected and wanted.

*****

When we woke the next morning, my epic morning wood was making itself known, as was often the case.

“Goddamn it,” I grumbled. “I hate having to piss with a big old boner.”

I extracted myself from Will’s arms and my sheets, and stumbled over to the bathroom. Pointing my dick was going to be a challenge and I nearly opted for a shower piss, though I found them kind of gross. Instead, I stuck my hand under the tap for a bit of cold water, and grabbed my cock. It’s a trick I’ve used occasionally.

It seemed to work pretty quickly, so I aimed the beast at the bowl, and let ‘er rip.

Then I looked in the mirror, wondering if I’d notice any changes.

Was my chest a bit firmer? My arms a little thicker? I couldn’t be sure.

My dick, however, was half chubbed already, and didn’t look much different. Results inconclusive, I thought, and crawled back into bed.

“Hey,” Will said, sleepily. I kissed him and pulled him close. I was usually big spoon, mostly because long arms made it easier to wrap around his bulk.

“Hey. We have an hour before either of us really needs to get up.”

“Mmkay,” he murmured.

I sighed, enjoying the closeness of him, but a little disappointed there was no obvious change.

*****

“Dude!” Will gushed, shaking me awake.

“I’m awake,” I lied.

“Dude, seriously, get up, you gotta see this,” he said, pulling at my arm.

I groaned theatrically and rolled over, only to spot my boyfriend’s boner inches from my face.

“Very cute.”

“No, dummy, wake up and LOOK.”

I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and tried to focus.

“My dick is bigger!”

“Yes, it’s an erection.” I said grumpily.

“Ugh! No, not that. Look at the measuring tape!”

The head of his dick was covering the number, but —

“It’s gone up half an inch! Get yours out!!!”

That was enough to shock me fully awake. And light the beacons, as it were. I was hard in seconds, and sure enough, I was either down a suspiciously similar fraction, or I wasn’t fully hard.

It was working!

*****
 
It was later that evening when Will brought in a cup of tea, and he spotted a bit of my slightly improved bicep when I picked up the cup. We quickly measured for some semblance of baseline, but by then I was too horned up from the idea to really focus. And I never did finish the tea.

By the time Monday rolled around, our little trade was still going, slowly, but we had a better sense of it, in between some rather aggressive sex breaks. I was an inch less cocky, and he was an inch more cocky, and the same pattern seemed to be in play for the muscle and fitness level. He still looked built, just a little less bulky, while I looked like I had been actually doing work in the gym for a few months. Not quite built, but en route.

Of course we texted Davon once we confirmed to our satisfaction it really was working.

*****

Davon insisted he met us in the cafeteria for lunch.

“Had to see for myself, obviously,” he stage-whispered.

He looked up and down each of us and cocked an eyebrow.

“It’s …subtle,” he said, disappointed. “Guess I’ll take your word for it, i guess you won’t let me take measurements…”

“It’s only an inch,” I said. “It’s been pretty gradual, which is good. Right?”

“I guess. Let me know if there’s anything more obvious.” Davon frowned.


“What were you expecting?” I asked.

“I don’t know, there wasn’t a lot of information there. I guess maybe I thought it would be instant.”

“Dude, you did actual magic and it’s working,” Will said. “This is crazy.”

“Psha,” Davon said. His sass mode was active again. “I do magic all the time.”

*****

The day went quickly, with a slow sense of unsettling movement as our attributes slowly transferred. The net effect was a low level buzz of horny vibes that neither of us could control. We texted naughty thoughts back and forth all afternoon.

That evening, however, Will and I were making out the minute we got back to my place, and within seconds we had shucked our clothing and began to get quite physical.

That horny haze had us groping and caressing each other for hours. Neither of us fucked the other — though we did everything else. Around 9, we lay panting in bed and my stomach growled fiercely, reminding us we hadn’t eaten. We made do with some frozen microwaveable pot pies and cokes, but dove right back into it the minute we finished eating. Didn’t even bother to turn on the light.

For me it was like waves of unstoppable horniness, full throated arousal that blasted from every pore.Will said it was much the same for him; his mind was lost in a haze of pleasure and anticipation, just like mine.

******

My alarm began chiming at 630, to my annoyance. I untangled myself groggily from the boyfriend legs and arms and the rather crusty sheets and lurched over to the bathroom, then sat down to have a poo. Everything felt weird and wrong, and I hoped emptying my system would settle that. Didn’t bother with the light since aim wouldn’t be a factor.

It’s a bad habit of mine, born of mostly living alone, but I rarely close my bathroom door when I use the toilet. In my head, I suppose I figure I’ve just spent the night having sex with you, so there isn’t anything left to hide.

So when Will stumbled in, similarly disoriented, I wasn’t exactly surprised.

What surprised me was that it wasn’t the Will I expected. And I wasn’t the Zach he expected.

“Fuck,” he said. “Look at you!”

“Look at me? Look at YOU!”

I stood up, forgetting what I’d sat down to do (but hadn’t yet done), and looked at our reflections in the mirror.

“Whoa,” I said.

What I saw was surreal.

We looked like brothers. Not quite like twins, but it was immediately clear that something in the exchange of traits had kept going. I had bulked up quite a bit while losing a few inches of height; Will had gained the height but leaned up considerably. Of course he had — he’d lost the bulk I’d gained. Remarkably, my brown mess of hair now sported blond streaks, while his had grown a little shaggier and was no longer the pure gold it had been. We were much closer in height, too.

My eyes were drawn to my crotch, where my own mega boner was several inches shorter than it had been — and then to his, where his dick had happily accepted the gifted inches. We were both sporting very similar straining erect cocks: about 8 inches long and a little thicker than average.

And then we panicked a bit and texted Davon again.

Got a little writers block on this one. Another story needed to get out of my brain first, so I’ll have to finish that before I can get back to this one. Sorry! I’ll try to make it worthwhile.
Another story? That's a win-win situation, I see... This one just has to wait, that's cool! You're talking of a new one, or you plan on continuing one? 😏
