A second male friend. (At the start of the series)

Walking through the school gate was different today, nothing big just the new sensation of the earrings I’d put on today. Bring a hand up I played with one of the N’s that hung down from my ears. I found laying around in park yesterday, as if someone had just carelessly thrown them away, they had been plain, normal, etc but neither had I been looking for anything amazing.

The walk to class was a breeze and the moment I step in I was met with the normal greeting by the louder of my two friends.”Hey! Toin I found something good! No great!” My friend Kenichi shouted waving me over, It was hard to not be excited as I knew with him that there was only one kind of thing he would be this loud about.

Speeding over to Kenichi’s desk and leaning in conspiratorially, he pulled from within his desk a brown bag that held the prize. The grin on my face grew as the next part of our ritual started, my hand shot forward yanking out the magazine.

“Mine now!” My selfishness was a bit of an in-joke between the three of us, that meant a little roughhousing as I'd take something for a little brief moment before eventually handing it back. Honestly I’d have liked to keep the things I take since typically it’s stuff I want but, I like these guys, they're my friends. Even if I wanted it I valued the time we spend together, other people can suck it though.

This time turned a little strange as my hand sped by his and grabbed hold of the magazine without any resistance. Kenichi didn’t do anything even as I brought the prize close to my chest, no anger, no moves to retrieve it or exasperation at the fact I’d just taken the most anticipated porn mag right out of his hands.

Instead he just sat there with a huge smile and snickered at my antics. “Take your time to enjoy!” Finally in an act closer to himself as he clasped his hands together and did his best puppy eye impression. “Just remember to give your good buddy a chance to look.” His eyes were watering and he tried to quiver his lip.

It frankly didn’t look anything close to a puppy, maybe a monkey like his last name, but not a puppy. Only reason I wasn’t dismissing him out of hand is because we’re friends. Though the way he’s acting just doesn’t match up, at all. Maybe just a small test first.

“So hey, Kenichi. If I were to never let you ever peek inside at this-” Lifting the mag to eye level for him ”It would be totally cool right?” I couldn’t help shift a little as I spoke.

Cupping his chin he looked rather deep in thought for a few moments before decisively nodding. “Yeah it's only natural with you after all. Always wanting stuff to yourself and only you.”

This just had me a little confused, whatever I’ll figure this out later and instead just ogle the glories that lay inside my prize. Pulling my chair over next to his, I plopped down and opened the porn magazine. “For now, let's enjoy this together as we wait for class to start and chickenshit to arrive. Heard you encouraged him to attempt to confess yesterday, my money is that he lived up to his name, again.”

Next to me Kenichi only heaved a sigh “Yup, I keep trying to get him to cross that line, but well.” Giving a tired shrug and a 'What can you do' smile at the failure of his latest attempt to get our last friend Rito to finally spit his feelings out for Haruna.

At most I wish Rito luck, and that he’d have the balls to one day say it to her face. Seriously we’re all eighteen here, it's about time for him to have at least feel how a rejection or acceptance is like. He needed to get with the program as me and Kenichi both had our own experience with being rejected. And I stood ahead of Kenichi having had a girlfriend.

Getting comfortable we settled into banter about my prize. Things along the lines of this chick has a smashing set of tits, her breasts are bigger than my preferred size, accusations of blasphemy for that last one and a normal game of would you hit it?

Our giggling and games came to an abrupt end when a admonishing shout from the front of the room made us jump “Kenichi! Stop bothering Toin and leave him to his reading undisturbed, class is starting.”

Oh shit, shit, shiiiit I flailed around as I attempted to appear a decent student… only to freeze, wait a moment. Honekawa the man with a total stick up his butt about taking his classes seriously only admonished Kenichi, not me who had a pornographic magazine in the open while clearly reading it.

Pulling my chair back to my desk and taking my seat with the magazine still openly in my hands. For a moment all I did was just look down at the cover of it which displayed its content clearly with a completely nude model on the front on her back with her arms out beckoning the reader to crack it open and get off to it.

Frowning in thought I did a small test raising the magazine up high I waved it around to see if Honekawa only yelling at Kenichi was a fluke, after a little while without any reaction from him I changed what I was doing. Instead leaning to the side a bit I held the lewd magazine in front of Haruna, Rito's crush that sat to my right.

Upon her sight being blocked by an image of a nude woman propositioning the viewer she blushed a deep red and looked away while doing her best to keep herself busy. It’s kinda amusing but it does confirm with absolute certainty that something is going on, and it seems to be only for me. As that reaction is nothing like her normal response when Kenichi who is a much closer to her does anything perverted. The fact it only applied to me had me completely pumped as it just the way I’d like it if I ever had powers like this!

However, this wasn’t enough to just convince me to give myself into my desires and let alone do it without knowing how it might affect my friends or more importantly myself. I know that I couldn’t have gotten away with this yesterday, with the only thing since that that has changed about me. At that one of my hands shot up to lightly touch the earrings I found. They were the most notable change about my person since yesterday. I’d wager they're the source by first guess.

Still the question of how strong was the effect, what exactly was it making people explain away my actions and did it have more effects that making other people accepting of my actions. Glancing around the room several ideas popped into my mind of what I could do to test this.

First I could do some more extensive testing with my porn magazine seeing if going further than stuffing it in other people's faces and waving it around gets a reaction. Maybe doing something with Haruna in front of Rito, if anyone would jump to her defense if they thought she was being wronged then it would be him. Maybe something completely off the wall or something other than those ideas.
