After Jason and Richard were dropped by the latter's dad, who gives them a small safety speech about safety being driving off with the teens left to their own devices. They each claimed a bedroom, proceeding to unpack their clothes away. "So what do you wanna do first?" Jason calls out to Richard while putting his shirts into a drawer, hearing his friend reply, "Wanna go for a swim at the lake?"
"Oh yeah! We should go befo-" Jason stopped mid-sentence finding the brown cuff laying on top of his shorts, having no memory of putting it in with his clothes. 'Where did this...' Jason had almost forgotten about the strange experience at the little shop, but it all came back. Richard walked into Jason's room, "Hey, do you remember that weird shop we got these things in?" he was holding his own identical cuff. "I don't even remember packing this thing."
"Same here!" Jason replied. "What did the old lady say about them?" The two boys looked at their cuffs before Jason notice Richard putting his on. "What are you doing?" He asks. "What does it look like I'm doing?" Richard answered while fasting the cuff onto his left wrist, "I think it looks pretty good!"
Jason had to agree, the cuff did look sort of cool on his best friend, he wondered if it'd look good on his thin wrists too. He fastened it onto his right wrist, surprising it fit perfectly. As soon as he tied the leather strings he felt a strange sensation overtake him.
"Yo," Richard said, his look concerned, "I feel weird."
Both teens suddenly felt a warm silver-white glow all over their bodies with Jason too panicked to speak as Richard yells, "What's happening?!" As the silver on the cuffs glows red, Jason and Richard find themselves being drawn toward each other as if by magnetic force. With moments, the two teens smashed into each other while a flash of white light explodes. The flash resides to reveal a single teenage youth where Jason and Richard were standing, the two friends having somehow merged into one person. The fused teen opened his eyes and, slightly confused, looked around before looking down to notice his body, a smile appearing on his face as he finds a mirror. He sees a 6'6" foot tall youth with broad shoulders in his reflection, essentially having Jason's tall and elegant stature and Richard’s toned muscle mass. Also having Jason's curly hair with a dash of Richard's auburn hair, the youth is handsome with the former's nose and blue eyes and the latter's cleft. Even his outfit is a composite of Jason and Richard's clothes, taking off his his shirt to check himself out
further taking note of his his well-shaped pecs and six-pack abs along with the budge in his pants. He flexed his arm and felt the rock-hard biceps before tracing his fingers down his abs, letting out a moan before stopping himself.
“Woah dude, We’re huge!” The youth said to himself, sounding like Jason and Richard speaking in perfect unison before it gradually turned into a blend of their voices. "This is so weird..." "I know. I'm us...we're me..." "You're giving us a headache..." The youth soon noticed the cuffs and realized they fused Jason and Richard together, wondering if taking them off could split him back into the two. But a part of him thought to stay like this a bit longer. “Well,” the composite youth says to himself in the mirror as if a means for his components to talk to each other, "How about we take a dip in the lake." "Since it's just 'me', how about we skinny dip?" "You've read our mind" The youth takes off his clothes and heads over to the edge of the lake near the cabin, taking a running jump into the waters off of the pier that jutted ten feet into the lake.
Surging up, he headed towards an anchored platform in the middle of the lake. While it would have take Jason or Richard at least ten minutes to reach it, in which time they would have had to stop and rest at least once, the fused youth had twice their stamina and reached the platform in just a few short minutes, never stopping once. Surprised by how easy he found the distance, he did a few laps back and forth between the platform and the pier before getting up on the platform to enjoy the sunny day. Lying in the sunshine, he thought about what had happened to him and the two distinct individuals he was three hours ago. Jason is nice and well-manned with dreams of becoming a famous movie director and a girlfriend his age, having learned to fish from his dad. Richard, on while friendly, can be coy and egotistical at times with a preference for video games and hot guys. Being a fusion of the two, the bicurious youth is essentially a middle ground of his components' personalities with both their loves and dislikes as his own.
"I'm Jason...and Richard..." He began talking to himself. "I'm them and they're me..." "How about..." "Jarick? I like it." The fused youth named Jarick then gives himself a fist bump. "We should go back in and get dressed." "Alright." With the youth prepares to swim back to shore and proceed back into the cabin to get his clothes on.
