It was around eight pm when Vinnie returned home, there was a note on the door went to
the movies with mom and dad, see ya at nine your bro.
Vinnie was happy, no one to interrupt! Vinnie went to his bedroom, stripped Ryan off, put
on a pair of shorts (Ryan didn't need to see any more of him then need be.) and swiftly
changed Ryan back.
Ryan said, "Dude, I promise I will never do that again, you know tossing your jockstrap up
to the sky."
"Yeah, I know some of why you did it, why don't we go to the kitchen table and finish our
homework?" Vinnie asked
Ryan said, "By the way thanks for not ditching me, or taking me home I did not want to
deal with dad on a good day, when he's drunk forget about it!"
"Your welcome, you know Ryan when we were together like that, I had a sort of a mental
link from you. I only had the surface thoughts, but I could not leave you to face that! When
did the abuse start?" Vinnie asked.
"When I was five," Ryan said, knowing that there was no need for pretense any more.
Vinnie was shocked! Outraged! "You are never going back there again!"
They sat down to do homework. When dad came home he asked, "Who's your friend Vin?"
"Dad this is Ryan and we adopted him back when he was five," Vinnie stated.
Dad asked, "We did what?"
Vinnie said, "I wish Ryan was my brother."
Dad said, "That's nice but you didn't ask permission to have a guest."
Vinnie stood up and shouted, "YOU ARE MY BROTHER, RYAN." Vinnie tried to repeat his
movements to activate the medal and do magic like he had before.
Dad asked, "What's gotten into you Vinnie? Do we need to call a doctor? Maybe your friend
should go home now."
Vinnie said, "I'm sorry. I was trying something and it didn't work. Ryan and I are doing
homework together. Can he at least stay till we finish?"
Dad said, "That's fine. You just should have asked first."
Ryan and Vinnie finished their homework and Dad even allowed them to go into Vinnie's
bedroom for a while.
Vinnie said, "Let's try again. We've got to figure out something to keep you from going
back to your home."
Vinnie tried a few more times and still nothing.
Ryan said, "Don't worry about it. I'm used to it by now."
Vinnie said, "That's the problem. You're so used to being bullied you don't see that it's
wrong to bully others. We've got to find a way to change this. Let's at least ask if you can
stay here tonight."
They asked and Vinnie's dad called Ryan's dad and Ryan's dad didn't care. So Ryan and
Vinnie continued to try magic. (Like typical teenagers, they didn't think to try asking an
adult for help.) Finally they gave up and went to bed. Vinnie offered Ryan a spare set of
pajamas. It was cramped in the bed but Vinnie didn't want Ryan to sleep on the floor.
During the night, Ryan dreamed that he was still a jockstrap. It was a pleasant dream. Ryan
felt for the first time in his life like someone cared about him. It felt like Vinnie was hiding
him from the big bad bully his father was. In Ryan's gratitude, he started to care about
Vinnie. He started coaching Vinnie and helping him to become stronger and better able to
stand up to bullies.
Ryan also became fascinated by Vinnie's balls. Ryan had never been interested in guys
before but after a day of intimate contact with Vinnie's balls, Ryan had gotten used to it.
The initial disgust Ryan felt about being a jockstrap had faded away.
The alarm woke Vinnie up but he was still half asleep as he walked to the bathroom. He
was brushing his teeth before he realized Ryan wasn't there. Then when he was stepping
into the shower, he realized he woke up wearing a jockstrap under his pajamas.
Vinnie thought, "That's not like me to wear a jockstrap to bed. This isn't even my jockstrap.
Oh wait, this is Ryan."
Then Ryan woke up and thought to Vinnie, "Good morning."
Vinnie thought to Ryan, "Did you change yourself into a jockstrap?"
Ryan thought, "No, I don't know how it happened but it's okay."
Vinnie thought, "IT'S OKAY? Do you want to be a jockstrap?"
Ryan thought, "No, I don't want to be a jockstrap. But now I don't have to go home. I can
hang with you all day until we figure out how the magic works. I wonder why it changed me
into a jockstrap twice but failed to change me into your brother?"
Vinnie thought, "I shouldn't wear you. It was bad enough wearing you yesterday but now
having you so close to my balls . . ."
Ryan thought, "Hey Vinnie, I'm a jockstrap. There's nothing strange about wearing a
jockstrap. The only thing that is strange is that I'm a thinking jockstrap. But that only
makes me better than other jockstraps. You have to wear me. How else can I help you do
better in the gym?"
Ryan also thought to himself, "How else can I support your balls and keep them from
injury." But Ryan tried to keep that thought quiet hoping Vinnie wouldn't pick up on it.
