— Max, what the hell! Is... is that you?! — Chris muttered nervously, his eyes wide with shock as he stared at the girl standing before him in nothing but translucent blue lingerie, tugging at her hair as if trying to pull it out.
— Goddamn, yes! Of course, it’s me! — Max shrieked, his voice sounding strange, higher and softer than usual. He yanked at his hair again, but it wouldn’t come off, as if it was part of his body. His fingers were trembling, and panic was evident in his eyes. — What the fuck is going on? It’s just a wig! Just a wig, Chris!
Max suddenly spun around and stepped closer to Chris, staring him straight in the eyes.
— Damn! It’s your face! It’s still you, but your body, fuck! It’s so creepy, — Chris stammered, his gaze sliding down Max's figure, as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He slowly shook his head, trying to process what was happening. — Max, damn, you look like... like a girl. A real one, fuck!
— Well, thanks, Captain! — Max shot back sarcastically, but his voice lacked confidence. He looked down at his new body, his slender arms, and the curves that hadn’t been there before. His fingers trembled as he ran his hand over the fabric of the bra, the straps digging into his shoulders. Under his palm, he could definitely feel the new volume of his breasts.
— Chris, these are real tits... I... I can feel them, and— Max cut himself off when he glanced at his friend and felt something strange rise inside him, something completely unfamiliar. He noticed how his gaze softened, how his body began reacting to external stimuli, to Chris being near. Max quickly pulled away, almost as if trying to get rid of the feeling.
— Hey, what’s up with you... you blushing?!
Max quickly turned away, feeling heat spread across his face and neck. His heart was pounding, and every cell in his body felt more sensitive than before. He pressed his palm to his chest, trying to calm down, but that strange, almost ticklish wave of emotions wouldn’t go away.
— Fuck off, Chris! — Max tried to stifle a nervous laugh, but his voice sounded nothing like it usually did. He looked at his friend again and noticed how Chris was looking at him, evaluating, but with a confused expression.
Chris froze, his eyes narrowing as if he were trying to recognize his friend in this girl. But the longer he looked, the more something inside him changed. His gaze grew distant, as if he were staring at a stranger.
— Um... do we know each other? — he finally managed to say, taking a step back.
Max froze, as if his legs refused to move. He felt something inside him squeeze painfully. His lips parted, but no words came out. He just stared at Chris in confusion, feeling his heart constrict from the unexpected words, then suddenly blurted out:
— What? — Max’s head snapped up, his eyes wide with horror. — Chris, it’s me, Max! Have you lost your fucking mind?
Chris’s eyes went wide, and he took a couple of steps back, clearly uncomfortable. His hand reached up to the back of his neck as he looked away.
— Miss, I think you’re mistaken, — Chris said slowly, his voice sounding cautious, but with a hint of politeness. He looked around as if searching for someone who could explain what was going on. — I don’t know any Max. And... um, are you sure you’re okay? You look a bit... confused.
Max felt his legs start to give way beneath him. He clenched his fists, trying to stay balanced, but his new body felt so fragile, so alien. He tugged at his hair again, but it wouldn’t come off, as if it was part of him. His voice trembled when he spoke:
— Chris, it’s me, Max! Are you out of your damn mind? We were just standing here, and I put on this fucking wig, and then... — He fell silent, realizing how insane his words sounded. His gaze dropped to his hands, his thin fingers with nails that had never been there before. He felt his throat tighten with panic.
Chris looked at him with clear confusion. His eyes moved down Max’s figure, pausing on details that clearly unsettled him. He nervously scratched the back of his head and cleared his throat:
— Listen, miss, I don’t know what you’re smoking, but... maybe you should go home? Or call someone? You look... well, not too good.
Max’s heart started racing. He stepped forward, trying to grab Chris’s arm, but Chris jerked away sharply, as if afraid of the touch. It was strange, because Max had always been the leader in their group, and now it felt like he had completely different feelings.
— Chris, fuck, it’s me! — Max almost shouted, his voice high and trembling. — You know me! We’re friends, damn it! We were just joking about this wig, and now... — He stopped, feeling the tears welling up in his eyes. His new body was reacting to emotions so quickly, so intensely, that he could barely hold himself together.
Chris looked at him with clear distrust. His eyes narrowed as if he was trying to find something familiar in this girl. But the longer he stared, the more his expression became detached. He shook his head:
— Miss, I don’t know what you want, but... I think you’re mistaken. I don’t know any Max. And... — he hesitated, his eyes once again moving down her body, — maybe you should get dressed. This isn’t the safest place for... well, for that kind of outfit.
Max felt his legs give way. He grabbed the wall to keep from falling. His head was spinning, and his ears were ringing. He looked back at Chris, but there was no recognition in his eyes anymore. His friend, his best friend, was looking at him like a stranger.
— Chris... — Max whispered, but his voice was so quiet that it was barely audible. He felt his body start to tremble, as if it were shaking from the inside. He closed his eyes, trying to gather his thoughts, but when he opened them again, Chris was already backing away, glancing over his shoulder with clear disbelief.
— Hey, wait! — Max shouted, but his voice sounded weak, almost helpless. He took a step forward, but his legs gave out, and he fell to his knees. His hands shook as he tried to stand, but there was no strength left in him. He felt his consciousness starting to fade, as if he were being pulled into some dark vortex.
And then everything around him changed.
Max felt his body falling through the ground. He squeezed his eyes shut, expecting an impact, but instead he found himself in soft arms. He opened his eyes and saw that he was in a small room he’d never seen before. It was cozy, with soft lighting and the smell of expensive perfume.
He felt someone’s arms around him and quickly turned. A man stood before him, a man he’d never seen before. He was tall, with dark hair and piercing eyes. His hands were warm, and his smile was seductive. Something hard and elongated... Max already knew what, was pressing against his stomach, but it didn’t feel repulsive. He didn’t even notice it.
— Lily, — the man whispered, leaning in close. — You’re so beautiful...
Max felt his heart pounding. He wanted to push the man away, but his body wouldn’t obey. His hands reached out to the man on their own, and his lips parted for a kiss. He felt his mind slipping, as if he were being pulled into some strange, unfamiliar world.
Inside, everything was screaming that this was wrong, that it wasn’t him, but his body reacted as if it were natural. He felt his thoughts begin to change, as if his identity was slowly dissolving, giving way to something new, something foreign.
— Lily, — the man whispered again, kissing his neck. — You’re so gorgeous...
Max closed his eyes, feeling his mind slipping away. He couldn’t resist anymore. His body, his thoughts, his desires — none of it belonged to him anymore. He was Lily now, thanks to this magical wig, though inside he still remained himself, feeling a deep discomfort and shame for everything he was doing and feeling right now.
