John and Tenoch got up early the next morning and were back on the trail. John felt like he needed more time to convince Tenoch to give him his old body back so he decided to lead them down a longer route so that the journey would be extended.
They entered a dense part of the jungle with giant leaves that shaded the entire area.
“Are you sure were still on course John?”
“Yeah, won’t be too far now.”
Tenoch thought there was something familiar about the giant oval shaped leaves around them. He knew that his village advisor had once told him about some plant associated with them but he couldn’t put his finger on it.
The duo then got to a huge purple plant bulb.
“Guess I’ll just need to chop this thing down.” John took the machete from the bag Tenoch was carrying and started slashing at the bud.
“Purple bud with oval leaves... what did the advisor say..hmmm-oh no! JOHN!”
“What?” The bud started to expand and Tenoch quickly lept towards John with his strong body and pushed him back so that he tumbled down a slope.
The bulb then burst, creating a small purple cloud that vanished just as fast as it appeared.
“Ow! Hey what was that about prince-“
John looked at Tenoch expecting to see his old body but found what appeared to be a 15 year old version of his old self. John’s old body was aged down somehow by the plant! Tenoch was now skinny and pale just like John was in his teens. His old blonde hair was noticeably lighter and curlier at the ends. He was also baby smooth everywhere.
“Prince Tenoch is that you? Well I guess it’s technically young me. What happened!? “
Tenoch got up and kept one arm on his shorts to prevent them from sliding off his new slender frame.
“That flower is known by my people to regress whoever touches the spores it makes. It takes away 8 to 16 years of one’s age but the effects are only temporary. You could’ve died if you had been hit while in my 15 year old body.”
“So... you took the hit to keep me safe?”
Tenoch blushed, which was now even more obvious due to John’s pale body. “Um well yes, I still need a guide after all, plus this diminished state will only last several hours so it wasn’t that significant of a sacrifice. MY manly body will return soon enough.”
Tenoch put a clear emphasis on the “MY” part. It seemed the young prince still wasn’t ready to give John his old body back.
He looked back at John. “But...I also...care for your safety”
John was disappointed but also sensed that Tenoch was clearly starting to befriend him.
“Ok, got it, thank you. I guess we’re both the same age for a bit.”
Tenoch took off his oversized shirt, this let John sneak a peek at his old body’s 15 year old penis. ...It was 4 inches, still larger than the 2 inch one Tenoch’s body had.
“I really can’t catch a break in the manhood department huh?” John thought to himself.
It still wasn’t all bad. While the prince’s body John was currently inhabiting had a smaller dick, the rest of the body more made up for it with the nice toned figure.
Tenoch noticed this and instantly starting comparing physiques. “By the way John, why is your smaller body so skinny and weak?”
John chuckled. “Kid I told you, I wasn’t nearly as well built as you are at this age. We all start out as wimpy teens. Maybe now you can see that your body isn’t so bad. Here, wear the tunic your people gave me. It looks like it’ll fit you since your now a little under my size.”
John was now just in his loincloth again and Tenoch began to admire his old body like he did at the lake. He did have muscular definition, not much but it implied he might actually become a strong man later in life.
After Tenoch was dressed the duo backtracked away from the mystic flower buds. Tenoch walked behind John. “Hmm, I never noticed how impressive my body’s ass was.” He accidentally said it out loud very quietly under his breath.
John managed to over hear it and giggled.
With talk like that, he knew Tenoch might want his native prince body back soon.
