Shifting Summer: Confidence

Sitting by the side of the hotel pool, Charles was having a miserable time. With pasty white skin, he had to lather himself in sunscreen just to keep himself from baking and burning due to the threat of just a single beam of sunlight hitting him. Despite his apprehension for being outside in the sweltering heat, the nerdy man was roped into tagging along to a weekend getaway with his friends.

To pass the time and get out of the stuffed hotel room, Charles found himself resting poolside under the protection of a trusty beach umbrella. However, given his body issues, he had no real intention of swimming. Instead, he focused on the fellow hotel guests and let his eyes wander to explore what several of them are doing. He saw the hunky guys that he was always so jealous of, due to the fact that their bodies seemed to permanently have the golden-tint of a suntan and also the fact that they were just so hunky. Looking as they approached a few bikini-clad girls, Charles only felt more envious of their physiques and natural charm. He couldn’t help but wish that he had the confidence and bodies of guys like that. Sitting there still, his mind began to wander about just how amazing it would be to look like that. No longer having to worry about burning from a normal sunny day, having a physique that drew all attention to himself, and his persona gaining a confidence that would never falter...

His eyes continued to wander around the pool, eventually stumbling upon a woman seemingly looking at him. But Charles quickly dismissed the idea, especially since the woman was a total stunner in every possible way. With sandy brown hair, a toned body that was showcased by a snug-fitting bikini, and a beautiful smile, it made no sense why she would set her sights on the pale frail man with muddy brown eyes and embarrassingly thin and flat brown hair. However, as he continued to stare, she tipped her sunglasses down further and her eyes had a wild look that only drew Charles in further. It was clear that for some reason, the woman was interested in him. As he continued his prolonged stares at the stunning woman, it became clear that he shared the sentiment towards her.

Continuing to stare across the pool, he watched in disbelief as the woman began to try and draw him in, motioning a finger to tell him to come over to her. Sitting up from his seat, he awkwardly pointed to himself and mouthed the word “Me?” to her, which caused her to smile and nod her head towards him. Despite intense anxiety and fear of embarrassing himself, Charles decided that it made no sense to pass up the opportunity to be with a gorgeous woman like her. Attempting to be more confident like he wished, his feet moved slowly at first, bracing himself as he took the first step away from his chair and one step closer to his summer love interest. 

However, as he began to take a wider step, the slippery surface near the pool attempted to foil his plan. He slipped and stumbled, attempting to catch his balance before he ultimately completely tripped and fell into the refreshingly cool pool. As soon as he lost his footing and tumbled down into the water, Charles cursed out loud as he assumed that he had now completely blown his chance due to his clumsiness. 

Attempting to remedy his embarrassing situation, he tried his best attempt at breaching the water in a “sexy” way. Running his hands through his hair, he pushed up and exited the water as the hot summer heat hit his drenched face. However, the version of Charles that is exiting the water was much different from what he used to look like. Now instead of thin brown hair, the new Charles had an impressive mane of hair that was almost jet black in color. 

In fact, the entire body he had was completely different as well. Instead of a frail frame, his body had magically packed on tons of muscles that gave him an impressive physique that could easily model and be Instagram famous. On top of that, his skin had grown a few shades darker as it gained an additionally tanned complexion that gave the impression of someone who enjoyed the heat and to use it as an excuse to display his body.

Standing up and continuing to look over, he found his brunette bombshell who was still staring at him with the same lustful stare in her eyes. She continued to motion for him to move closer to her, which left Charles excited for the possibilities still since he hadn’t blown his chance. Running his hands through his hair once more, he stood up and began to walk towards the ladder to exit the pool. With each passing step, Charles felt weirdly uncomfortable as he felt a body that seemed thicker and heftier than from his usual frame. However, looking down, he grew aghast as he caught sight of his now impressive body. It was strange, but as he took each additional step, it felt more like second nature to him. But, why wouldn’t it? It was the body he had always had.

As he continued to wade through the water, his eyes continued to wander down to stare at his beefy chest and the biceps that now flared his arms further outward than they used to. His hands moved up to his face, his fingers grazing his stubble-covered face that adorned his angular features. It was no wonder that a woman like her would be into her, he remembered all of the hard work he had put in to gain this impressive form. Splitting his time between his nerdy endeavors like clubs in robotics and science and the gym, it was incredibly impressive to everyone (including himself) that he was still able to remain at the top of his class in college. 

Of course, this had led to several opportunities for the hunky nerd as well, including tons of articles and photoshoots involving the incredible “hunky scientist”. By this point, he had gained such a level of popularity that he often found himself getting knowing stares from both teenage girls who wished to date a smart hunk like him and nerdy guys who wished nothing more than to be like him. He loved to interact with them for the most part, but he had been secretly wishing for a break from constantly being a photo accessory for people. So, when his fellow nerdy friends mentioned this trip, he jumped at the opportunity to escape for a while.

Finally reaching the ladder, he quickly pulled himself up and began to walk towards the woman. She had displayed clear interest in him and he would hate to keep her waiting, that nerdy personality fueling this thoughtfulness when most other jocks wouldn’t care in the slightest. He began to walk towards the woman, looking down again at the buff physique that he previously could have never imagined himself getting. By this point, Charles felt so good about himself that no mental changes could even occur in time before Charles began to walk with an impressive swagger.

At long last, Charles finally reached the foot of the woman’s lounge chair. Now with a dream body that everyone desired to have, it didn’t take much until the now dreamy man began to feel an intense level of confidence that no magic could ever artificially provide. “Well hello there gorgeous, what are you doing here all alone?” he said, which caused the girl to state that she was just here to relax and enjoy the view. Upon finishing her sentence, she looked him up and down, which caused Charles to chuckle in bashfulness. “Do you mind if I join you then? My name’s Charlie...” he said, going by the nickname he had bestowed upon himself. While he loved the name Charles, it didn’t feel like an appropriate name for a hunky man like himself. Upon the woman inviting him to sit next to her, the two of them began to chat with one another about their vast love of science, fitness, and the innate power of being confident. Despite nerdy Charles not having any luck in that department, the hunky Charlie had it in spades…

Shifting Summer: Popularity

For weeks now, the campus of Rolling Hills University had been plagued with suspicious emails that vowed to grant their wishes should an individual respond. The dean had made several statements to the students in both verbal and written forms, telling them plainly to not respond to the email under any circumstances on the off chance that this mysterious account had nefarious plans.

While the rest of the campus was in a panic and feared some sort of retaliation, a trio of nerds (Chester, Phil, and Garrett) had not fallen victim to the campus-wide pandemonium. For the most part, they actually found the situation rather hilarious. As computer science majors that had part-time jobs in campus IT, they had spent months warning the campus about any weak points in the school’s security system. Now that their warnings had actually come to fruition, they found it quite amusing to actually have been ahead of the curve and tell the campus that they told them so.

Despite this slight cockiness directed at the staff of the university, they lacked this same type of demeanor when it came to the asshole jocks that found time to ignore the panic and spend their free time taunting them. Previously, the three freshmen had reported the jocks for their behaviors, but of course, the campus did nothing to remedy the situation due to them being the star players on the incredibly popular football team. In fact, their reports only furthered their torment as the jocks focused even heavier on their tauntings, even going as far as to get physical and push them around. As the trio exited out of their classrooms and walked towards the quad, the three men mentally prepared for their daily torment from the jocks. 

While all of the boys were ridiculed and tormented by the jocks, the red-headed Chester often found himself getting the brunt of the punishment. As he exited the building, he gasped as a jock pulled him by the collar and threw him to the ground. While landing, the resounding tone of a snap led him to worry about somehow breaking one of arms from the impact of the fall. However, as he pulled his head up from the pavement, he got his answer for the cause of the snap as he found his thick pair of glasses completely shattered with the plastic frames snapped right at the bridge. 

While Chester attempted to pick up the shattered remnants scattered across the pavement, the jocks then began to move their nonsensical rage to the remaining two members. With messy brown hair, hazel eyes, and a puggish nose, the added weight caused by his endless college meal plan gave Phil a flabby gut and a thick pair of moobs that fully made him undesirable to any of the girls he ever tried to court. Due to knowing his unlucky nature with women and his negative self-image, the chubby Phil was not fazed in the slightest as the jocks began to taunt him and hurl fat jokes his way. However, the jocks soon grew to realize this fact, which caused them to try and amp it up as they grabbed the nerd’s graphic tee and tugged on it. With a loud high-pitched rip, Phil cried out in horror as the jocks tore open his shirt and revealed his blubbery figure to the entire diag. After a slight moment of silence due to everyone’s shock, the sea of co-eds began to cackle and laugh at the embarrassed nerd.

Finally, the jocks devoted their attention to Garrett, the last member of the nerdy trio. While Garrett’s other friends hadn’t been the best looking guys, Garrett differed from them. With slight curly hair, Garrett had a physique that was toned but not at all packed with any muscle. From his years of running track in high school, he was able to have a healthy lifestyle and decent genes that allowed him to avoid any college weight gain or be worried about severe sunburn. His golden-tanned skin was impressive, but that didn’t matter to the jocks. Given the fact that he was still associated with the other nerds, he was not pardoned from their torment. Despite being conventionally more attractive than most of the average-looking jocks, they still dwarfed him in terms of muscle, so they had no struggles with quickly grabbing him and throwing him in the nearest trash can.

As the jocks pulled out their phones and recorded the aftermath of their torment while chucking, the nerds quickly reassembled together and made a break for it to their shared apartment in complete embarrassment. Upon reaching their place, the trio slammed their bedroom doors and attempted to compose themselves.

While Phil pulled off his tattered shirt and put on another shirt, Chester was grabbing one of his several spare sets of glasses from his desk as Garrett got into the shower to clean the stench of iced coffee and other garbage off of himself. As they all cleaned themselves off and sat at their computer desks, the trio were all in sync as they pulled open their emails. Rage and shame was infecting their minds, so they couldn’t think of anything other than those spam emails spreading around campus. Even if it was a hoax, it didn’t hurt to voice their frustrations into the deep void of the internet. In unison, the three of them all began to compose emails that had the same general message: I wish me and my friends were more popular than the football jocks.

Pressing send, each guy breathed a sigh of relief as the email allowed them to purge their negative emotions of their terrible and upsetting day. Shutting their screens off, the trio all exited their bedrooms and began to hang out in their shared living room. Turning the TV on, the three of them were all transfixed as a marathon of CW superhero shows was currently underway. As they watched Supergirl, The Flash, and Superman all win and give criminals their comeuppance, the trio all felt better and longed for a way to have some sort of revenge on those jocks. Before too long, the trio all fell asleep on their couch and dreamed of being popular just like how their emails all described it.

Waking up the next morning, the trio that awoke was much different from the one that fell asleep the night prior. With Chester, his red hair was replaced with thick brown hair that was now fitted under a backwards baseball cap. His body had gained a tanned quality, and with it brought a slightly athletic frame that was a far cry from the twig arms and flat torso he previously had. Laying there in only a pair of grey shorts, he was oblivious to the fact that a hefty bulge was pressing against the fabric as he thought all about revenge. On top of that, those thick frames of glasses were completely rewritten out of existence, giving him perfect vision now and finalizing his new identity as Chet, the douchebag guy who loved to workout and bro-out with his two best friends.

As Phil groaned and awoke on the couch, his hands stretched out and down his body. However, when he would usually find a thick gut bulging out and providing resistance, this was nowhere to be found on the new Phil. In fact, his body was practically fat-free and replaced with an impressive frame equipped with solid biceps and a nice six-pack of abs. While Chet was practically shirtless, this was not the case for Phil as he was decked out in a pair of shorts and an oversized black shirt. Despite now being in a buff body and gaining a new identity, the impressive man was still uncomfortable being shirtless and resorted to wearing oversized clothing to hide his physique. As memories began to flood his mind, the new persona of Preston began to emerge and rewrite his life into one of being a moody sensitive influencer who found himself constantly thirsted over by gays and emo teenage girls.

Last but certainly not least, Garrett himself was not immune to these incredible body and life changes. Despite having the best physique of the bunch, the body he now had was even better than the previous one. His pectorals grew slightly beefier as his biceps grew thicker and his abs more prominent against his well-tanned body. Laying on the couch and still tossing and turning, Garrett’s life was beginning to undergo a mental battle against the life of Greyson, the hotshot fuckboi who wanted nothing more than to bed as many women (and occasionally men) as possible.

As the three guys all woke up in unison, their new realities were cemented as they found themselves transported to a rented house filled with lavish décor and top of the line electronics. However, the three guys were completely oblivious to the changes as they each went about getting ready for the day. “Yo bro, we need to record our video!” Preston said, which caused the other two guys to nod in agreement. Walking out into their backyard, Preston set up the camera and led the boys through a video of them dancing for their sea of followers. 

With a combined set of followers of over 50 million fans, they were currently some of the biggest stars on TikTok. Their slew of endorsement deals and viral videos had allowed them to outright purchase a house just outside of campus while they continued to attend college. Of course, this had led to a lot of tiffs with the football jocks as they vied for control of campus, but after just one threat of sicking their legion of fans onto them and getting them cancelled, the jocks had no choice but to back off. While the original Chester, Phil, and Garrett were unable to remain around for their new lives, they should be happy to know that they did in fact eventually get their revenge…

Shifting Summer: Acceptance

For Thomas, he had loved his relationship of three years with his boyfriend Eric, but there was a catch. Despite having a healthy relationship and an incredibly active sex life, there was always one aspect of his relationship that caused stress in his life: Eric’s family. No matter how hard he tried, Thomas had always struggled to fit in with his boyfriend’s family. He wasn’t sure if it was due to them still being uncomfortable with their boyfriend’s sexuality or the fact that his pale complexion stuck out like a sore thumb in his boyfriend’s highly-melanated family, but it constantly made him spiral and search for answers. Despite Eric saying that his family loves him but just hadn’t been able to fully get to know him yet, there was still a part of Thomas that viewed his boyfriend’s statement as just trying to save face and give his family the benefit of the doubt.

With the family’s annual Labor Day cookout looming in the horizon, Thomas was beginning to stress out once more. He knew it was dumb, but given that summer was ending and he was about to be busy going back to graduate school and being a TA, he knew that his availability to interact with them was severely limited and he wanted to make a great impression for once. As the couple began to head to bed the night prior to the event, Thomas couldn’t help but wish that Eric’s family would finally accept him and treat him like part of the family.

----------

As Eric awoke the next morning, his hand aimlessly searched for his boyfriend to give each other some warm cuddles. But when his search came up empty and there was no indication of any body heat still in the bed, Eric groggily sat up from his bed and began to search for his boyfriend. After checking the bathroom and the living room of their apartment, Eric soon began to grow worried about where his boyfriend could have gone. Was he that nervous about the cookout that he fled in the early morning? 

However, as he made another lap around the smaller apartment, Eric finally began to pick up on the sound of rustling in the unused spare bedroom that the couple had turned into an office. “Hello?” Eric said, his steps growing lighter just in case there was a home intruder scavenging through their belongings. Hearing the creaks of an office chair reverberating through the walls, Eric began to consider that his boyfriend was there messing around on his desktop to play some video games before he awoke. Pulling open the door, Eric’s facial expressions went from a look of relief to panic as he caught the sight of a nearly naked black man sitting in his chair. “Who the fuck are you?” Eric cried out, watching as the man turned in his chair to face him. The intruder that was casually sitting in his chair was extremely buff, clearly indicated by the sunbeams that showcased and shimmered across his broad chest and rippling six-pack. Opening his mouth, the intruder’s booming voice echoed across the room, saying a simple “The fuck do you mean who am I? It’s Thomas…” 

Upon finishing his sentence, the man’s voice turned into a slight sneer as he looked at Eric’s shell-shocked face. “What the hell are you talking about? My boyfriend is a nerdy white guy, not some ripped black guy!” Eric responded, his face now severely stuck in a look of disbelief by what was happening. As the man casually began to recount their various dates and the secrets that they shared with each other late at night, Eric couldn’t believe that it was true… his boyfriend had completely transformed overnight!

“H-how did this happen?” Eric said, his chest heaving as he could feel a slight panic attack starting to spur within him. 

“Fuck if I know babe. All I know is that I wished that your family would accept me and then I woke up like this. I think I look pretty good though…” Thomas said as he flashed a cocky grin and flexed for Eric. 

“Why does it matter if they like you or not?” Eric replied, his anger beginning to rise at Thomas’ strange behavior. This wasn’t the sweet and eternally-anxious boyfriend that he had fallen in love with. Instead, he’d been replaced with not only a new rich darker complexion but an entirely new personality. 

Staring at his boyfriend still in absolute shock, Eric was appalled when Thomas told him to get on his knees and pleasure him, saying that his morning wood was aching for release. While he couldn’t deny that he was turned on by this new body, it was an absolute boner-killer to watch his good-natured boyfriend be so extremely tainted by cocky new impulses and desires.

Heading into one of their bathrooms, Eric told Thomas to start getting ready for the cookout while he attempted to understand how this happened. To his annoyance, Eric was completely ignored by the new Thomas, who was instead pulling down his white briefs to explore the new thick cock he possessed. Pulling out his phone, Eric sat on the toilet in disbelief as he saw all of the couple’s former photos on social media replaced with this new man. The couple’s journey to Comic-Con now altered to replace Thomas’ former look of pure joy with a look of annoyance along with many others. Along with this, new photos and videos had manifested on Eric’s account, now showcasing Thomas working out in the gym while Eric was stuck on the sidelines recording his boyfriend’s workouts.

To his disbelief, he saw his own family responding under those videos, giving incredible words of encouragement to their “future son-in-law”. He couldn’t believe it, but this new body truly did make Thomas a hit with Eric’s family. Needing to clear his head, Eric got into the shower and spent 30 minutes letting the water run down his forehead and give him some sort of temporary relief from this crazy new life he found himself in.

After finishing up and going back into his bedroom, Eric gasped as he caught sight of the new Thomas completely naked and flexing into the mirror affixed to the back of the bedroom door. “Bro, I was checking myself out!” Thomas groaned, which only elicited an eye-roll from Eric as he got dressed and made his new boyfriend do the same. 

For both of them, the car ride to the public park where the party was taking place was completely silent. While Eric was completely in awe of the stranger now sitting next to him and unsure of how to talk to him, Thomas paid his boyfriend no mind as he was too busy checking himself out in the side mirrors and looking down at his buff body. 

To Thomas’ relief, the party was an absolute hit for the new man. Eric’s family sat at length with Thomas and inquired about his fitness journey and how his career was going as a personal trainer, leaving their youngest son stuck talking to second and third cousins who weren’t blessed with the gift of gab. Standing under the park pavilion, Eric just kept looking over and staring at Thomas interacting with his older brother and having a flex-off between the two of them. He was annoyed to see Thomas succumb to the same sort of vanity rituals that he had spent his life surrounded by. 

As a result of this, Eric’s inability to gain intense muscle mass or even have any interest in athletics had left him particularly isolated from his family. Upon entering college and meeting Thomas, it was a relief for Eric to find someone who was interested in the same “nerdy” things as him and not as obsessed with self-image. But as he stared at the man his boyfriend had become, he knew that the real Thomas was completely gone. He couldn’t believe that his boyfriend would sacrifice it all to fit in with Eric’s family, but what is done is done. Despite it hurting him to think like this, Eric knew that this would probably be the last family meeting that Thomas would be invited to and the last day of their three-year relationship.
