“Oh boy, I can’t believe I’m going to get to be a big boy!”
“Well, I said you could use the age gel to become older there’s no guarantee you’ll be big like I was. After all, I started working out when I was 12 and was lucky to go through puberty early.”
“That’s okay, I don’t need big muscles to enjoy being a big boy though it would be cool. Can I use the gel now?”
“Sure, just remember what I said.”
“Oh, right. May I borrow a pair of your boxers?”
Danny went over to the dresser and grabbed a clear pair of boxers from his drawer, “Here, hopefully these won’t be too big on you when you transform.”
Praneel took the underwear and went into the bathroom to change. When he returned he was wearing nothing but the oversized boxers which fit like shorts coming down to his knees and hanging loosely. They probably would have fallen off if not for the elastic wasteband.
