Nate stands and stretches yawning loudly and glances over at the clock on the stove, he can just make it out from the living room and its already 10pm. He might as well get ready for bed and call it a night. Big day at the office tomorrow with his new boss giving a presentation. A loud click at the front door draws his attention and he glances over watching the door open. His roommate walking in and tossing his gym bag on the floor.
"Hey Aidan." Nate casually waves at him. They met last year at the office and get on well enough Nate decided to share an apartment with Aidan that neither of them could have afforded otherwise. They were friendly, but didn't run in the same circles outside the office. Nate was a geek, Aidan was a jock a few years younger than him. In a way Nate wishes he had the good looks and opportunities Aidan seemed to enjoy wasting.
"Sup?" the blond haired blue eyes man said. He strolled over the fridge and pulled out a protein shake and began to slurp it down.
"Just going to bed. Have a good night. If your gonna watch Netflix keep the volume down a little, I got a thing with Rick in the morning." Nate hated saying the name of his new boss but that was the way things were, the guy was younger than him and already making twice his salary. Rick rhymes with prick. It's how he learned his new bosses name.
"Sure thing. 'night" Aidan gave him a nod and walked to the sofa, going slack and dumping his bulk on to it then reaching for the remote.
Nate walked to his room, pushed the door open and walked in to the bathroom flipping on the light and meeting his own gaze in the mirror. With another long exhale he inspected his face. He was looking ok tonight. A little less tired and stressed than he expected. Even his hair looked good as he inspected his scalp for signs of balding, a normal thirty year old activity.
But then something caught his eye. The small scar on his cheek from the fall he had a couple years ago was a part of his face he had grown used to, and it was gone. He pulled his shirt off and looked at his chest. The freckles and moles of age were not there, his chest was shockingly smooth. His skin felt firmer than it had before. He looked up and met his gaze in the mirror with a gasp "What the fuuu-"
He realized immediately what was happening. He was getting younger....
