In the morning, Jeff wakes up, and once again, for just a moment he forgets that he now has stumps. Then he tries getting out of bed, and it all comes back to him. His shame turns him on even more.
Jeff crawls to the bathroom, going through the doggy door, to find Aiden, wearing only his underwear, taking a leak. Jake had half expected cartoon briefs, but on second thought, maybe Aiden was too mature for that.
Aiden finishes up, then notices Jeff behind him. "Oh, sorry, I forgot, I should probably lock the doggy door when I'm in here, huh?"
"Yeah," Jeff says. "Do you mind?" Jeff tilts his head towards the door.
Aiden leaves, and Jeff takes a leak. Then he goes number 2, using the floor bidet to rinse himself off.
Aiden is waiting outside the bathroom, wearing a shirt and gym shorts. "Um, your parents said to shower you in the morning."
Jeff bites off an angry response. He does need a shower, and he can't go two weeks without one, so he'll have to do it sooner or later.
"All right, get some clean clothes for me, and I'll wait here," Jeff says. He sits on his butt, leaning back against the wall so he doesn't have to rely on his leg stumps to hold him up. Aiden fetches clothes for himself, and for Jeff, and they head into the bathroom.
"So, what do I do?" asks Aiden, seeming even more embarrassed than Jeff.
"Get the water running, then...well, undress me, and yourself, then put me on the bench in the shower," Jeff says. He can't look the boy in the eye, choosing to stare at the floor instead.
Aiden hesitates, then takes off his shorts and shirt. Then he turns away from Jeff, and pulls his underwear down, stepping out of them. Jeff is mooned by Aiden as he does so, and Jeff can't help but gape when Aiden's hole is visible for a split second, between his hairless skinny butt cheeks.
Jeff looks away again when Aiden turns around, not wanting to seem like he was staring. When Aiden reaches down to pull Jeff's shirt off, Aiden's junk is right in his face, and he can't help but look at it. He had never expected to be inches from a hairless 12-year-old boner, especially not at his age. Then Aiden has Jeff's shirt off, and Jeff lays on his side to make it easier for Aiden to pull his underwear off.
Then, his sense of helplessness at needing a younger boy to undress him, turns him on again. Jeff wonders why he's like this, why he would want to be helpless. If Aiden notices his boner, he doesn't comment on it, but when Aiden picks him up, straining to lift Jeff, the teen's boner presses into Aiden's own dick, and Jeff realizes Aiden had sprung a boner at some point too. The contact feels good, Jeff's boner had been without attention for so long, just quick wipe downs with a wash cloth by his father.
Aiden sets Jeff down, and quickly turns away. Jeff sits in silence as Aiden washes his own hair, then washes Jeff's. Jeff's own boner is still there, while Aiden's has subsided. Aiden washes Jeff's body, erection included, and Jeff finds himself getting increasingly angry at Aiden for taking this job. What gives Aiden the right to think he's qualified to 'look after' Jeff?
When the shower is done, Aiden towels Jeff and himself off, then sets Jeff down on the floor mat. Aiden dresses himself first, something that makes Jeff even angrier. When Aiden, fully clothed, shows Jeff the t-shirt he grabbed for him, Jeff explodes.
"Why the fuck did you pick that shirt out?" asks Jeff. "I'm not a kid like you, why would I want to wear a Captain America shirt?"
"I'm sorry," Aiden say, "I just thought-"
"Thought what, how much of an idiot child you are?" Jeff says, his irrational rage blinding him to Aiden's hurt expression. "And I saw you looking at my junk in the shower, what kind of sicko are you? You're a freak!"
"Fine, you don't need me, I'm just doing everything for you but yeah, no need for me here, how about you dress yourself!" Aiden turns to leave, and Jeff, angry and humiliated, watches him go.
Jeff sits on the bathroom floor, on all four stumps, and as his anger subsides, he realizes he made a mistake. He really can't get dressed without Aiden. He's as much embarrassed by his overreaction now as anything else, but he doesn't want the give Aiden the satisfaction of an apology. And if he asks Aiden to dress him, Aiden will know how much being naked bothers him. Jeff will have to stay naked, and hope Aiden cracks first.
He can already hear Aiden watching Avatar again, and Jeff doesn't want to miss it, so he crawls on his stumps, forcing himself through the power of willful teenage pride to crawl around the couch and crawl right back into the laying down position he'd been in the day before. He doesn't look directly at Aiden, but out of the corner of his eyes, he can see Aiden is keeping his attention on the TV.
