"Fuck, the candle flame changed color. That means Chad is transformed. I have to put him on and be wearing him when the flame goes out, or he'll become human again!" Rick ranted.
He had checked his gym bag, locker, and the laundromat. Everywhere he had drawn the required sigil. He was standing in Derek's room glaring at the underwear in the drawer. Where was Chad? Derek was away at college, the laundromat was closed. Had he made the sigil wrong?
He checked the underwear in Chad's bedroom drawers. Just regular underwear. He checked Chad's hamper, and bathroom. Then he went back in Thad's room.
He looked in Derek's hamper. Dirty underwear, and it was still warm. Derek must've come home, and taken Chad!
Rick bit his lip. If Derek was wearing Chad when the candle went out. Everything should work out. If he's in Derek's suitcase, gym bag or locker, maybe not?
Rick grabbed Chad's phone. Maybe if he texted Derek from Chad's phone, he could track down his new undies before Derek figured out what happened.
He texted Derek, "Wassup!"
"Chad, you jerk, are you up to a challenge? I just changed my shorts. This pair won't come off until June, bet you can't wear the same pair of underwear until the end of July!"
Rick cursed under his breath. He recalled Chad and Derek's history of stupid bets. If Derek had bet someone he wouldn't take his underwear off until June, he wouldn't even if he knew his underwear was really his brother.
