The button was pressed and yet nothing on the TV had changed. Just the same old sports channel Tristan was trying to get off of. Tristan said "Man, guess I'll go get..." then coughed a bit as his voice seemed to be a bit off. Jerome looked to Tristan and was about to ask if he wanted a glass of water, and then got a good look at Tristan.
"Um, Dude your a chick..." Jerome said trying to keep things calm, but as Tristan looked down at their thin arms and chest pushing their shirt out more than usual... Well Tristan dropped the remote and went to the bathroom as quickly as she could and nearly stumbled once or twice as her center of gravity had changed. As Tristan pulled herself to the bathroom mirror Jerome grabbed the remote that Tristan had dropped and took a look at it. There was a bunch of different buttons which had body parts or bodily aspects including gender... was it possible that this could've? Nah probably not right?
In the bathroom Tristan looked at herself, her clothes hadn't changed which made it more apparent that she wasn't wearing a bra and her nipples were showing through her thin shirt. However she wasn't very busy looking at her chest, but more at her face. Her hair was about the same length but seemed puffier, no fluffier. Was she cute? Her hands migrated to her tummy as she was looking at her face, and she noted that while it wasn't firm it certainly wasn't pudgy. Tristan may not have had a single article of clothing to work this body with nor was it one he was 100% comfortable with yet, but it was a body that Tristan thought was attractive.
Jerome walked next to the open bathroom and asked "Think the remote did this?" ... a silence "Think if I press this gender button you'll turn back to normal?"
Tristan not really paying attention to what Jerome was saying asked "Do I look cute?"
This through Jerome for a loop and he asked "You in your right head man? Something transforms you in an instant and the first thing you think is how good you look?"
Tristan turned to Jerome a slight blush on her cheeks and said "Eheh... I guess I should try to find some way to turn back right? I don't really have clothes for this body and yeah... It's just I've always kind of felt like an ugly duck, but... I feel pretty and I kind of like that..."
There was something about the softness of her voice, the cute face paired with her slight embarrassment, and the ill-fitting clothes that were a little too loose in some places but a little too clingy in others that left Jerome feeling a little hard for his male roommate. Sure he wasn't a he right now and wasn't really acting like himself, but deep down Tristan was still Tristan. He pressed the gender button while pointing at Tristan and the fat pudgy nerd was back.
"Feeling more like yourself man?" Jerome asked.
"...I'm going to bed..." Tristan said as he just walked past Jerome not even facing him. Jerome was having a hard time telling whether or not Tristan was just tired or if there was a sadness in his voice. Jerome put the remote down in front the the TV and decided to go to bed as well. That thing was just too weird to deal with right now. The two roommates were in their own rooms trying to get to sleep. In the morning...
