The Ointment Store

Darren Offers the Man Some Ointment

"Here, take some of this," Darren said, scooping out some of the ointment with his fingers. "I just gave it to my boyfriend for his birthday."

"What is it?" the man asked.

"The guy I bought it from said it has sexual properties. Maybe it can help you bag a boyfriend."

The man shrugged and held out his hand. "Can't hurt," he said. Then Darren spread the lotion on the man's hand. The next wish the man made would come true. But, of course, Darren still had some of it on his own hand, which meant that the next wish he made would come true too.

Then the man went his separate way, leaving Darren and Ben alone. They kissed again, then continued their way to Ben's apartment, hand-in-hand.
