The three men sat back down on the couch while watching the game's highlight reel.
"That last gol was insane!" Miguel pointed to the screen, "Look, they're showing it again. Nothing could make this week better"
"Speak for yourself, Chico" Antonio let out another hearty laugh.
"What you got going on?" Miguel raised an eyebrow curiously.
"Pretty boy has a date before he returns to base" Juan smirked, "And all we've got from the rest of the week is work. Where did you get all the luck, Antonio?"
Miguel gave Antonio an impressed nod, "He'll be luckier if the girl likes the smell of spicy tacos. She'll keep trying to get a taste of him".
Antonio raised an arm and smelled his pits, instantly turning his head away in disgust, "Aye! That candle was a lot stronger than I thought".
"You're the one who told me to light it" Juan shrugged.
"Yeah yeah, I'm gonna take a leak" Antonio made his way to the bathroom. Juan reached over the table and grabbed the candle. He hadn't thought he left it lit that long, but the candle was completely burnt through. Antonio was right, there was a strong scent mexican food left by the candle, but there was something soothing about it, the familiar scent of Madre's cooking. Then a label he hadn't seen before caught his eye.
"Warning: Do not mix with other scents until candle scent fades" he read, "I was about to cover this food smell with some colonge too. Must mean the combo will smell worse". The candle also had a phone number for ordering more candles.
"You're worried about that candle? I have to deal with you smelling worse when you're sweating like a pig at the construction site, Cabron! Jajaja!" Miguel laughed and Juan joined in.
In the bathroom Antonio was washing his armpits. To prevent himself from stinking again he decided to grab some deodorant. The label said that it had an added fruity scent. Antonio thought only women and fags used products with those kinds of smells, but figured that anything would be better than smelling like greasy food for his date. He applied the deodorant to his hairless pits and gave them a whiff. The candle's scent did not disappear, but it mixed with the smell of the deodorant to create a new fragrance. "Much better" he thought. Antonio flexed his already shirtless body in the mirror, not noticing how he slimmed into lean, yet impressive muscle with tight abs. He winked at his reflection with longer eyelashes and made a kissy face as his lips grew plump and full. A bandanna appeared that was tied as a headband, and though the hair on the sides and back of his head remained buzzed, short curly hairs grew at the top. His waist shrank, but his hips grew wide. Poofy boxers were visible above his skinny jeans, and the material of both was stretched by his growing bubble butt. He placed a single diamond stud earring in his right ear and left the bathroom.
Juan and Miguel saw Antonio walking back towards them with hips swaying. Why was he walking so oddly? No, Antonio always walked like this. The three friends had known each other for a long time and Antonio had always been a bit different. At first it was just that Antonio spent more effort on looking good, and it made him popular with the chicas. But when they grew older, Juan and Miguel noticed that Antonio's looks where attracting more than just the senoritas. As more differences gradually developed, Juan and Miguel grew suspicious of Antonio, especially since he never mentioned if his dates were women, but they never brought it up out of respect for their friendship. Besides, he was a military man. They could still bond over futbol and drinks, and that was all that mattered.
"Did I miss anything?" Antonio squeezed between the two on the couch.
"Nada, Pretty Boy. We were deciding what to do next. It's too hot to go outside" Miguel groaned as the fan blew on him.
