Jeff tenses when Max ruffles his hair, “h-hey… cut it out,” he says.
Max stops ruffling his brother’s hair, ‘hehe… now he knows how it feels,’ he thinks to himself, “sorry… I just can’t help it! You are so darn adorable!”
Jeff blushes, “sh-shut up, Max,” he says.
Max grins, “chill, bro,” he says, “I’m just teasing”.
Jeff scowls, “STOP teasing then,” he pipes.
Max grins, “no promises,” he says, “so, back to my question”.
Jeff thinks for a while before letting out a sigh, “I guess… I guess we could go to the local pool,” he then says.
Max smiles, “alright, then let’s get our swim trunks on and get going”.
Jeff gives a nod and walks to his wardrobe, opening a drawer in which he keeps his swimwear, wincing when he notices that all his “cool, big-boy” swim shorts have adjusted to suit his age, the now 8-year-old pulls out a baggy swim shorts with a Spider-Man print.
Max manages to stifle a chuckle, “get changed,” he says, “I’ll get changed myself and get everything we need packed, then meet me downstairs”.
Jeff just nods his head, grinning to himself, Max turns and leaves the room, ‘hehe… this is so much fun,’ he thinks to himself, ‘finally I get to be the boss around here… hehe… and there is nothing that SQUIRT can do about it! Hahaha!’
An hour later Max and Jeff arrive at the local outdoor pool and find some chairs near the pool, Jeff feels so humiliated as he looks down at the Spider-Man swim shorts he is wearing, ‘why did this have to happen,’ he asks himself, ‘I hope this isn’t permanent!’
“Hey, Jeff,” Max says, smiling, “let’s head to the kid’s pool”.
Jeff grimaces, clenching his fits, but he then lets out a sigh, ‘there is no use, no one knows that I some shit error transformed me into a kid,’ he thinks to himself, ‘so… I better try and enjoy myself… god… I feel so helpless, small and weak. This is so fucking humiliating!’
“Jeff?”
Jeff looks up at his brother, feeling sick to his stomach by seeing his LITTLE brother towering over him, “y-yeah… let’s go,” he then says, turning and starting to head towards the pool where other kids already are enjoying themselves.
Max follows Jeff, ‘he must feel so helpless and humiliated,’ he thinks to himself, smirking inwardly, ‘its fun seeing him squirm, I might have some more fun with him, or decide to transform us back, making him think the “error” is only temporary, which would give me the opportunity to mess with him some more… hehe… I have always wanted an obedient little puppy… hm… though I do love reptiles too! Hehe… we’ll see what I’ll decide upon’.
Unaware to Max, one of the life guards has his eyes on Jeff, ‘that kid has an amazing body,’ the 25-year-old thinks to himself, ‘he looks so much better than that bitch of a lying “girlfriend” I have’. A smirk appears on the young man’s face, ‘what a good opportunity to test out my Chronivac-app!’
Meanwhile Max and Jeff are having fun with a beach ball, Jeff starting to actually enjoy himself, ‘actually, being a kid again isn’t that bad,’ he thinks to himself.
Max, noticing the change, grins inwardly, ‘looks like he’s starting to accept and adapt,’ he thinks to himself, the 14-year-old smiles, ‘I think… I’ll keep us this way, this is the bond I’ve always wished for to have with Jeff. Hehe… who knew that I WOULD be the cool big brother instead of him! Hehe!’
“You seem to have calmed down pretty quickly, Jeff,” Max then says.
“Yeah, I… I’m actually starting to enjoy myself,” Jeff says, “I… I’m sorry for flipping out earlier”.
Max smiles, “that’s okay,” he says, “when I was your age, I had a lively imagination, to be honest, I still have that”.
‘He really does think he has always been the older sibling,’ Jeff thinks to himself, looking up at his former little brother. The longer he looks at Max, Jeff starts to feel strange, a feeling of longing and admiration growing in him, Jeff doesn’t notice as his mind shifts, ‘Max is such a cool big brother,’ he finds himself thinking.
Max notices the look in Jeff’s eyes and grins inwardly, ‘that was quick,’ he thinks to himself, ‘looks like his mind has adjusted to his new age,’ the teen smiles at Jeff, “what are you looking at,” he then asks.
Jeff blushes a little, “n-nothing,” he mumbles, “it… it’s just that… I think you are cool… I wanna be like you!”
Max smiles, “aaaw, that means a lot to me, Jeff,” he says, “I know we never really do much together, and that our bond isn’t as it should be. So, I want us to do lots of things together, I wouldn’t mind you joining me and my friend in some of our activities”.
Jeff’s eyes widen, “really? Y-you really mean that?”
Max nods, his smile growing, “yup, I know me and my friends have been mean to you in the past,” he says, “but I promise, THAT is over, and I’ll make sure my friends will be nice to you!”
Jeff’s eyes sparkle at that and he runs over to Max, which is a little awkward since he is waist deep in the water, and gives his big brother a hug, “THANK YOU,” he squeaks.
Max hugs Jeff back, smiling, “hehe… you are welcome,” he says, ‘my plan worked better than I thought,’ he then thinks to himself, smirking inwardly, ‘I’ve always told you, when YOU had been the oldest of us, that I’d make a much better big brother than you, Jeff! Hehe! That’s what you get for not including me in your activities, for being mean to me… THIS is how it’s supposed to be! This is the bond I have always wished for we would have!’
Jeff smiles up at Max, “it was fun, but I’d like to take a break now,” he says.
Max nods, “alright, let’s head back to our chairs and chill for a while,” he says before grabbing the beach ball and both exit the water, walking back to where they had set up, not noticing the lifeguard watching them.
