Tipping the Scales

Davis walked home with a spring in his step, the sound of his former bully's squeaky sobs keeping him cozy on the chilly March evening. After arriving home, he immediately went to the bathroom to shower off after his near beating, only to make a surprising discovery.

"Whoa, is it...bigger?" he asked after removing his underwear. "Hmm. Hard to tell, but I think it grew almost an inch! Wait a second! I could use the orb to make any change I want now."

He looked at his nude reflection in the mirror. Davis had always taken care of himself, and even though he was smaller than average in most ways, he was proud of his slim frame. He always dreamed of meeting a tall, broad-shouldered hunk that would sweep him off his feet. Being slender and soft seemed like the perfect complement to his hard-bodied fantasy lover. Why change himself?

"Although...," Davis mused, "I could lose the acne. And that mole on my thigh. And, eww, when did my chest hair get so dark? Okay, do your thing, orb!"

Davis held the orb and imagined himself smooth and blemish free, but instead of seeing the changes he wanted, he heard a voice in his head.

"Your Path of Harmony has been chosen," the voice said. "Changes to others will bring balance."

Davis knew he should have been shocked to hear the orb talking. Then again, merely holding a magic glass ball that fell from the sky with a bolt of lightning should -- at the very least -- have him question reality. Yet, all he felt was calm.

"I guess it only works on other people?" he mumbled. "And that brings me balance, somehow?"

Davis pondered what to do next with his incredible power as he washed away the day's worries and fears along with the dirt. Would balance bring him closer to the man of his dreams? As the warm water soothed him, he pictured one of his favorite tall, shirtless hunks. Someone who loved the same bands and games that Davis did. Someone with dark hair and eyes, strong hands and, of course, a large, girthy cock. Usually, by now in the fantasy, Davis was already pumping his own stiff dick. But for some reason, his imaginary lover did not get him hard.

Weird, thought Davis.
