“Wow he looks so different bro.” The hulking jock spoke as he watched the man lifting on the floor below. 

“Yea it's insane bro.” Derek said watching his boyfriend below.
Below Alex curled a heavy dumbbell unaware of the watchers above. His muscles were large and well developed despite the fact he had only been lifting for two weeks. His blond hair was dripping sweat down onto his rocklike abs. He continued to curl staring into the mirror at the edge of the room.

“How’d it happen?” The jock asked from above. “I was only gone for two weeks and he was nowhere near this when I left!” 

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” Derek said. 

“Try me.” The jock said. 

“I was walking a strip mall and found a workout store going out of business. I walked inside and the shelves were empty. The store worker was some teen named Daemon or something like that.” Derek said his eyes wandering to Alex below. “Asked him if there was anything left and he pointed to a single jockstrap on the wall, it was Alex’s size and his favorite color so I payed a dollar for it and gave it to him. He put it on and somehow he became a total jock. I can’t explain it.” 

“Heh must have been magic.” The jock laughed at his own joke. His phone let out a ding and he checked. “Shit I gotta go bro the wife wants me home for dinner, but hey have fun with your little jock toy boyfriend!” 

Derek blushed, it had been fun with Alex the past few weeks, but part of him missed the nerdy guy who he started dating, the guy who played Pokemon on his 3DS. He watched as Alex put his weights down flexing in the mirror. Derek walked down the stairs towards Alex. 

“Hey you ready to go home?” He asked. 

“Yea just let me flex for a minute more. Wanna touch?” Alex asked as he continued to flex. Derek wanted to go, but he couldn’t resist. He felt Alex’s flexing muscles and melted instantly. They felt powerful and were much larger than Derek’s even though he had been lifting for years. Alex smiled looking at his boyfriend touching his muscles. 

An hour later the pair walked into their apartment. Derek threw off his sweaty clothes at the door into the hamper, Alex did the same striping down to just his jockstrap. Derek noticed Alex wearing the lime green jockstrap, he had been wearing it since Derek bought it for him. 

“Babe don’t you think you should take that off? You’ve worn it everyday.” Derek said watching as Alex started to flex into the living room mirror. 

“I wash it.” Alex said.”Other than that it highlights my features, and I don’t want to take it off.” 

Derek knew Alex was right, it was almost as if the jockstrap was made specifically for him, it fit him in all the best places. 

“Well I’m gonna get a shower.” Derek said after the two stood in the living room not silently for several minutes. He shut the bathroom door behind him locking it.he began digging  into the bathroom trash until he found the reciept from the store he bought the jockstrap at and dialed the number on it.

“Hello thank you for calling Daemon Fitness, you are speaking to Daemon how can I help you?” The man on the phone sounded much older than the teenager who sold Dereck the jockstrap and he refused to believe a teenager owned the store.

“Hi I was in there about two weeks ago for part of your going out of business sale….” Derek's voice trailed off. The store only had that single item left when he was there two weeks ago and when he had passed the strip mall on his way to work the building was empty.

“Oh yes! It was sad our newton location had to shut down. This number is for the store in Cederfalls, but I can try to help you anyway!” The man spoke in a perky voice.

“Oh ok!” Derek said feeling a bit idiotic he hadn’t realized there could be more than one store. “Um yea, this might sound weird, but I bought a jockstrap for my boyfriend at your store and he has been acting odd since we got.” Derek cringed at his own words, he knew he must sound crazy.

“Is it lime green?” Daemon’s voice suddenly grew serious sounding. 

“Yes it is.” Derek felt a chill go down his spine.

“Your boyfriend got a experimental product we have been testing, it should have never been sold. Derek hung onto every word Daemon said. “It boosts testosterone in wearers making them able to build more muscle than ever before...but we had some issues causing it to make wearers jock out.” 

“That’s exactly what's happening!” Derek practically yelled into the phone. He opened the door to see if Alex had heard him, but he was still focused on his muscles in the mirror. “What can I do?” 

“Well we can send a chemical in the mail that should reduce the excess testosterone in his body, but most times we have found subjects require a mental boost to leave behind the new lifestyle they have adapted. If I can get your address I’ll send it right over.” The man said.

“Ok what about the Jockstrap?” Derek asked.

“Keep it, destroy it. Honestly I don’t care. It was a mistake of a product.” Daemon said. 

Derek gave him his address and hung up the phone walking out of the bathroom. 

“Did you even shower babe?” Alex asked still looking in the mirror this time focusing on his abs. 

“No I got phone call from a friend.” Derek lied. “I’m headed to bed anyway goodnight! Derek ran into the bedroom trying to fall asleep as fast as possible. 

The next day at work Derek couldn’t focus, the instead of calculating the numbers that was his daily job he spent it planning on how he would change Alex back.

“He said it came in a powder form and I could just pour it into his protein powder before we go to the gym.” He thought to himself plotting. “And I’ll put on his favorite episode of Pokemon! The one where the boat sinks.” He looked up at the clock he still had a few hours left but he wasn’t feeling it. He picked up the phone and dialed the boss.

“Hey I’m not feeling well, I’m gonna go home for the day don’t want to get anyone sick.” He said trying to sound raspy

“Good idea.” His boss said. “You’re ahead of everyone anyway get well soon!” Derek hung up and grabbed his stuff leaving work.

He walked into the door of his apartment to find Alex lifting a dumbbell in the kitchen.

“Hey babe, package came for you.” He said continuing to curl it in his hand. 

“Thanks.” Derek said grabbing the package off the table. The seal on the box was broken, but the contents inside seemed fine. He opened it up to find a small vial of the medicine the man spoke about. “I didn’t think it would be here so fast.” He thought to himself pouring the contents into Alex’s protein powder which he kept in the bedroom. 

“Hey babe!” Derek shouted. “How about we hit the gym?” 

Sounds good! Let me just get a protein shake before hand!” Alex said putting down the dumbbell. Derek changed his clothes also downing a protein shake from his prefered maker.

The two lifted next to each other, they didn’t use spotters. 

“How you feeling?” Derek asked. He was struggling to lift his normal weight. “Probably just tired.” He thought. 

“I’m a bit sore.” Alex said. He was lifting less than normal and the stress in his voice was clear. 

“That’s quitters talk!” Derek joked finding his own weights harder and harder to lift. “Damn I need to take it down a notch.” He thought.

“Yea I’m not feeling it right now, wanna just head home?” Alex asked.

“It must be working!” Derek thought to himself both happy he would have his boyfriend back and that he could take a break for the night. “Yea sure babe we can always come back tomorrow. 

Back at the apartment the two sat on the couch, Derek in a pair of boxers and Alex in that same lime green jockstrap. 

“Wanna watch a movie?” Derek asked, the dvd episode of Pokemon Adrift he had pirated at work behind his back. 

“Sure babe. I was hoping you asked that.” Alex said grabbing the remote. He switched the input to the dvd player where the title screen of the new star wars popped up. “I know you love star wars and this guy at work got me an early access dvd.” Alex smiled mischievously. 

Derek felt a strange energy pass through his body, but he didn’t pay attention to it.

“Oh my god, play it!” He said, he didn’t understand why he was so excited for the movie, he loved it, but not this much. 

“You know i love how BD-8 is portrayed in this I liked him in the originals.” Alex said.

“It's BB-8, and he wasn’t in the originals.” Derek correct feeling a pain shot through both his arms. 

“Oh my bad.” Alex said a big smile on his face. “But you have to admit killing Han skywalker really was bad taste.”

“Um actually it's Han Solo.” Derek said out of habit that same pain spreading into his legs and abs. 

“Sorry babe.” Alex said still smiling, but now with an evil twist in his smile. “Hey want to play my 3DS while you watch this?” 

“Sure, you got megaman?” Derek spoke without control. He realized what was happening, but it was too late. He looked at his arms noticing how skinny they had gotten. He began to frantically struggle.
“No babe no need to struggle.” Alex said  “It's an adjustment, but you’ll love being a nerdy boy. Only one of us could be a jock anyway.” 

“How?” Derek asked as he watched his abs disappear. He had given up fighting easily his body drained of strength. 

“I read the letter in the package.” Alex said. “ I knew you must have been jealous of my muscles.” He flexed. “I figured if I made you a nerdy boy you’d feel better about yourself and still love my muscles. “

Alex was right, Derek did feel better, and he loved his boyfriends muscles. 

“Fine, you’re right…” Derek said staring down his hot jock boyfriend. “so...Megaman?” 

“Sure babe let me get it for you” The hunky jock kissed his now small and nerdy boyfriend. Alex walked into the bedroom pulling out his phone and dialing a number.

“It worked out exactly like you said it would.” Alex whispered using his free hand to grab the 3DS out of his dresser. 

“Well of course it did I guarantee my work. “ A voice on the other end replied. “How is the body.”

“So damn hot, and I’m gaining lots of strength. I’ve also been super horny.” Alex said. 

“Well go show that nerd how it is done.” The voice said. 

“I will after this movie he looks so cute watching star wars.Thanks again Daemon.” 

“It's no problem, I hope I see you in Cedar Falls for the bodybuilding competition. “ Daemon said fully knowing they would be there. 

“I’ll try my best. Thanks again.” Alex walked out of the room handing his boyfriend the 3DS. Derek took it cheerfully playing it. 

“I love you.” Alex said watching his skinny nerdy boyfriend play megaman. 

“I love you too.” Derek said looking at the muscular jock who was his boyfriend.
