In the morning, Aiden showers Jeff, and when Jeff gets a boner this time, Aiden takes care of it.
Jeff feels so much relief. Yeah, it's a kid doing it, but it somehow turns him on more to know he has to rely on a kid he'd normally be able to beat in a fight with one hand tied behind his back. Jeff is grateful to his parents for picking Aiden. Jeff realizes it's better for it to be another boy, and not some random adult. His dad never would have done this either.
When they get out of the shower, Aiden holds up the Captain America shirt he'd gotten for Jeff the day before. "Want to wear this, or should I get you something else?"
"Actually, I...do you promise you won't tell anyone?" Jeff asks.
"Yeah, I can keep secrets," Aiden says.
"It kind of makes it more exciting if I'm naked," Jeff says. "But my parents are embarrassed by it. Do you mind if I stay like this?"
"Go ahead, I don't care," Aiden says. Aiden brushes Jeff's teeth, and the two walk and crawl side by side back to the living room to resume watching their show.

After a midafternoon hand job, Aiden takes advantage of Jeff's post-orgasm attitude to pry for more answers.
"Jeff, are you sure you've always been like this?" Aiden asks. "Because I'm pretty sure I remember you differently."
Jeff looks at Aiden, wide-eyed. "Yeah, of course, ha ha," Jeff says quickly. "You must have me confused with someone else." Aiden doesn't believe it. He decides to search Jeff's room.
"I'll be right back," Aiden says. "I need a bathroom break."
Aiden walks down the hall, and loudly opens and shuts the bathroom door. Then he silently walks to Jeff's room, and eases the door open. He closes it behind him, fairly sure he didn't make too much noise.
Aiden looks through Jeff's drawers. Nothing. Jeff's room doesn't have much in it, which makes sense, possessions aren't very useful to someone without hands. Jeff has a shelf full of souvenirs and knickknacks, and a lot of posters on the walls. The closet has more shirts, and some warm sleeveless vests. Even a few hats. Nothing suspicious.
He's about to give up, when he realizes his own favorite hiding spot is under his bed. He checks inside the gap, and sees something. He pulls out a laptop, with a USB device attached. It says Chronivac on the side.
Why would handless Jeff even need a laptop? Aiden turns it on, and sees it's password protected.
"What are you doing?" Jeff asks, shoving his head through the doggy door.
"Uh, sorry, just, um, looking for something," Aiden says, voice going even higher pitched.
"Put it back, and stay out of my room from now on!" Jeff yells. Aiden might normally be intimidated by that coming from Jeff's deeper voice...but it's hard to be intimidated by a guy who crawls like a dog everywhere he goes.
"Jeff, come one, I know you're lying," Aiden says, looking Jeff squarely in the eyes. He stands up, towering over the teenager, keeping eye contact. "Tell the truth."
Jeff backs up a little, but Aiden follows him. Aiden can't see from this angle, but he would bet money Jeff is turned on at that moment.
After a long silence, Jeff gives in. "No one is supposed to remember it happened. I found this device that lets me alter reality, and, well, I wanted to try being like this. It was supposed to only be for like an hour, in my own room, but the device broke, and I've been trapped like this for the last week."
Aiden is skeptical, but the evidence is hard to deny. "And the house? All your special devices, your doggy doors?"
"All changed instantly," Jeff says. "My parents too, and other family members have come over, and they all remembered me like this too. I don't get how you aren't remember things the way they do."
Aiden sits back down on Jeff's bed, and Jeff crawls over to lay beside him. Aiden can't resist taking another glance at Jeff's naked body as Jeff gets in position, and yep, Jeff has a boner.
"I'll try to fix it," Aiden says. "I'm good with computers, well, I'm learning, anyway. What's the password?"
"moonwalk123," Jeff says.
Aiden is amazed at everything the app can supposedly do. He could do anything with this! But after an hour of trying, he gets the same error message Jeff was getting. The Chronivac is busted.
"How did it break?" Aiden asks. He sees Jeff's face go red. "Come on, Jeff, tell me, it could be important."
"I sort of, you know, shot jizz on it," Jeff says.
Aiden laughs at that, and Jeff ends up laughing too.
Aiden takes the device out to the living room, intending to try again later. They get back to their show, since they're almost at the end.
