Luke sat on the bed, still catching his breath from everything that had happened. The the medallion in Dave's hand felt strangely significant now. He glanced over at Luke, who was smirking at him while lazily pulling on his jeans now.
"You know," Dave said, picking up Luke’s baseball cap from the dresser, "we never tested this thing properly."
"What do you mean?" Luke asked, raising an eyebrow.
Dave twirled the cap between his fingers. "If I put this on while wearing the medallion, I’ll turn into you right. Then we'd be swapped!"
Luke chuckled. "You really want to mess with this thing more after what just happened? it was fun but im not sure if i will be into it with my self?"
"Come on, don’t tell me you’re not at least a little curious." Dave grinned. "Besides, it’s just for fun."
Luke sighed but gave a half-smile. "Fine. Just don't freak out when works and your straight and feeling odd seeing your own body."
With a dramatic flourish, Dave placed the cap on his head and the thing around his neck. Instantly, the medallion flashed with a brief glow. He let out a startled breath, and Luke watched as Dave’s body began to shift. His face reshaped, his skin lightened slightly, and his hair shortened into Luke’s usual cut. His body adjusted to Luke’s leaner build, and within seconds, Dave was now a perfect copy of him.
"Holy shit," Luke in Dave’s body—breathed out.
Dave, now looking exactly like Luke now, laughed. "Dude, this is insane. im you!"
Luke ran his hands down Daves arms, feeling the slight difference muscle tone from his out of body exorcise now. "This is so weird… but kinda cool."
Dave grinned mischievously and turned toward Luke. "You know, since we’re already like this… maybe we should have a little more different fun now im in your body fun."
Luke raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Dave stepped closer. "I mean, we could mess around again. Just a little this time, im not feeling the straightness you said i will." He smirked. "Think about it—you're me, I’m you. It’s like… kissing yourself, but not really."
Luke hesitated for a moment, but then curiosity got the better of him, feeling a suppressing attraction to his own body,. "Alright," he said, shaking his head with a small laugh. "Why not? This whole day has already been insane, with well me being you and doing stuff with you in your body and now i guess i get to have some fun with my own body now" he smiled just thinking of the fun he going to have with his new fresh vergen body.
Dave—now Luke—grinned before leaning in. Their lips met in a soft but eager kiss. It was strange yet exhilarating, feeling his own lips from the other side. Luke—now Dave—wrapped his arms around him, pulling him closer as they deepened the kiss. The sensation was new, yet familiar, and neither of them seemed eager to pull away.
They were so lost in the moment that neither of them noticed the sound of the front door opening.
"Luke, honey, I’m home a little ear—"
Luke’s mom’s voice cut through the room like a knife. Both boys froze mid-kiss, slowly turning their heads toward the doorway.
There stood Luke’s mother, wide-eyed and slack-jawed, staring at what she thought was her son passionately making out with his best friend.
Silence. A long, horrible silence.
Luke—still in Dave’s body—felt panic creep up his spine. Dave—still in Luke’s body—was equally frozen, his lips still slightly parted as if he hadn’t processed what just happened.
Luke’s mom opened her mouth, closed it, then opened it again. "Luke…?"
Dave swallowed hard. "Uh… this isn’t what it looks like?"
Luke smacked his forehead. "Oh my God, that’s the worst thing you could've said right now."
His mom just stood there, utterly speechless.
