Still standing in front of the mirror you realise that subconsciously you had always envied Eric not just for his built frame but also for his looks in general. The more you thought about it the more you became aware that your admiration for the guy was almost verging on lust.
You were infatuated with his Nordic chiselled good looks, his towering height and even his bad boy thin blond chinstrap beard. As you ponder lustfully over his beard it dawns on you that subconsciously you envied Eric because despite the two of you were both blond, he looked like a virile Viking whilst you were stuck looking like a sickly runt.
You couldn’t grow a full beard to save your life and your body was baby-smooth save for a few wisps of blond hair under your armpits and on your groin. You were subconsciously jealous that what Eric lacked for in hair on his scalp, he more than made up for on the rest of his body. The big guy was one hairy fellow, even though from what he had told you he hated being such a furball as much as he hated going bald. In fact he scrupulously trimmed his thick blond body hair, because he preferred looking smooth. He even trimmed his dense beard to just a chinstrap. That said you had seen him once in the locker room when he had forgotten to trim and between his heavy beard and swathes of body hair he had looked like an animal.
You abandon your lustful yearnings and come back to your current conundrum; your thinning scalp. If you have his thinning top, that must mean he inherited your vibrant blond locks. You try to imagine in your mind’s eye the new Eric with a full head of blond hair and a scrawny body, but the image seems so foreign that you soon drift back to the mental picture you had of Eric before your mutual changes.
You force yourself again to focus on Eric with golden tresses as you close your eyes and kiss the ring whilst wishing to have his hair. But as your lips touch the metal ring your thoughts inadvertently linger back on Eric with a full beard and dense whorls of body hair covering every inch of his skin. An itchy sensation overwhelms you and you get a sinking feeling in your stomach that you screwed things up...
