Lou picked up the freshly embroidered jockstrap, and smiled. He headed straight to his room. Lou put it on and posed in front of the mirror, then in front of his laptop with the camera recording. He felt like he was bigger and stronger while he wore his lucky jockstrap. He measured himself, and recorded the measure. He wore his jockstrap 24/7 for the next week. He measured himself a week later and was pleasantly surprised to find that he'd grown a lot in the week. His ankles were visible on all his long pants, and he couldn't button the top button on his shirts. Weirdly, his hair was turning blond at the roots and his pubic hairs had tripled in number and looked lighter at their roots. His weight training had also improved dramatically. He was bench pressing 250 lbs now. His muscles were growing more defined.
His grandmother put it down to puberty and a growth spurt.
Vinnie was frustrated. He hadn't been able to find Ryan. He suspected Horst or Carter, but they played it straight, and kept begging Vinnie to return their friend.
Weirdly, none of the other students, teachers or even Ryan's family seemed to notice that Ryan was missing. After four weeks, Vinnie who had noticed his kid brother's growth spurt earlier, now noticed that Lou was starting to look like the missing Ryan Standish.
"Lou, are you wearing a jockstrap?" Vinnie said looking up into his kid brother's eyes. The eyes had been dark brown, but were now hazel colored.
Lou backed up against the wall of the bathroom where Vinnie confronted him. Then he moved forward making Vinnie step back.
"Yeah, I'm an athlete unlike you. So yeah, I'm wearing my jockstrap," Lou acknowledged as he dropped his athletic shorts to show his jockstrap. He added, "See it's my jockstrap. My name is embroidered on it."
"Where did you get it, Lou?"
"Grandmother got it for me. Where did you think I got it?"
"Listen, Lou something happened at school a few weeks ago. This jock Ryan Standish got me angry, and I changed him into a jockstrap. I think you're wearing him, Lou."
"Right, Vinnie. I'm wearing your high school's star athlete? And you changed a two hundred pound stud into a 3 ounce piece of fabric? What are you talking about? Is this some weird joke?"
"No, Lou, I'm totally serious. Even if you don't believe me, humor me, please. Take off the jockstrap, put it in the tub, let me try to change Ryan back into a man. If it works, you will know I told the truth. If it doesn't work, you can put it back on."
Lou shook his head, and smirked.
"Okay, but if all you want to see is my manhood is bigger than yours now, you could just have asked. As you can see it is."
He stepped out of Ryan and tossed the twisted jockstrap into the tub.
Vinnie stepped forward and clutching his medallion with one hand and extending the other hand over the tub, concentrated. He said, "Ryan Standish, you are not a jockstrap. You are human."
Lou snickered.
The jockstrap moved on its own. It rocked back and forth untwisting and growing. It grew to the size of a big house cat. But it seemed to flicker, and pull back into just a jockstrap. Then it would start to grow again. It was the size of a German Shepherd when it shrank back into an ordinary jockstrap. Vinnie was sweating from exertion. He took a deep breath, grabbed his medallion with both hands, and demanded, "Ryan Standish be human!"
Lou stood there naked with his eyes wide open, and his jaw gaping as he watched his jockstrap grow to mansize.
