Saturday!

Your morning has been amazing, you got up early and well rested. You took your time in the shower, working on your hygiene and shaved all your bits :)

Aiden has been here for an hour or so, he seems 'ok' but something is definitely off, hes almost reserved?

The sun is beating down and the temp is high, you both grab a towel and head on out to the pool. Ok, so to do this without it being in any way sexual, seems easy enough.

You watch as Aiden strips of his shirt and shorts, expecting to see swimwear, what you instead see is a white pair of aussiebums, just regular underwear, hes not facing you, hes almost making an effort not to face you? Huh, his ass looks amazing tho, the taught fabric stretched over his muscular cheeks.

Aiden, without turning dives into the pool, you take the opportunity to quickly strip down to your swimwear and dive in without him seeing you, yes

You horse around a little, do some laps and talk shit, he seems more relaxed.

"I have a confession to make" Aiden says

"Oh? shoot" You feign surprise, you know where this is going, but you need to decide how you handle it.

"I'm really confused by some things, since we were out here last night, my mind has been foggy, or focused I cant decide" Aiden says

"Explain?" You poke

"Well, its weird, I mean, I've never thought about you in a sexual way, well not really" Aiden

Whoop, there it is. You pause and listen, you look at him, your expression seeking him to continue.

"I mean, I've always known you had a nice ass, its like you won the gay lottery, anyone can appreciate that" Aiden continues

Again, you simply listen

"But until last night, I have never thought about.. well, I guess, like. I mean I've been pretty much hard since, and I'm hard right now talking about it" Aiden confesses

You can NOT help yourself, you look down, at his underwear, the water distorting any chance you might have had of seeing it. You look back at Aiden, he doesn't seem upset or stressed or worried, he just looks like he is waiting for you to make sense of it.

You decide, you cannot take advantage of him. Dylan at work, maybe even Jarrod and David, you chalk that up to exploration and friends with benefits, you don't know them that well. Mr Laurent is a different story, but you feel like you may have missed that opportunity when you didn't go see him after work.

"Its not your fault Aiden" You finally speak

"Sorry? How do you mean" Aiden asks

Aiden is not in any way spiritual, hes practical, level headed and believes in science, I mean, its what he studied. So you need to explain this in a way, that doesnt make you sound like a crack head, which means polishing it up a little, not 'I took a magic potion'.

"Ok, so Ill try explain it best I can" You say

Aiden looks at you expectantly, your mind still forcing your eyes to scan over his underwear, damn water!

"I ingested an unknown substance, its intention was poorly explained and vague. However, if I had to guess, it seems to have increased the pheromones I produce, making me more attractive to others. Again, however, if any of my interactions are even in the slightest bit sexual, it seems to really fuck with who ever I'm with" You explain

"When I pulled your shorts down last night" Aiden says, more to himself than you

"Yes" You confirm

"Ok, so what affects have you observed so far" Aiden asks

"Lets just say, last night is the first nights rest I have had in nearly a week since taking it" You explain

"Understood, so whilst I'm really not inclined to believe in such things, it really does explain, why that specific time was when my mind shifted" Aiden says

You look blankly at him, hes the first person you have told, and whilst you aren't sure if he believes you, its obviously fitting into his preferred narrative.

"Any other effects?" Aiden asks

"You tell me" You reply

"What to you mean" Aiden asks

"Well, you tell me, how does it feel exactly" You inquire

"Well, lets say this substance did what you indicate, that's fine, but it doesn't solve my immediate problem" Aiden says

"Immediate problem?" You ask

"Well, I'm fucking rock hard from talking about your ass" Aiden says

"But you know what it is, you know its not exactly real" You say

"Feels pretty real to me" Aiden claims

"But you know it isn't" You push back

"Thats the thing tho, its you, and I don't care" He explains

You stand silently in the pool, the water splashing at your chest, you're kind of speechless, he knows, and he doesn't care. Is this the potion or is this Aiden acknowledging the potion and still not caring.

"So, how do we solve this" Aiden says while his hand slips into the water and grabs the front of his underwear.
