That must have been a hard push off, Jae thought. He wondered just how strong Eric was, and very was the answer his mind came too. Jae's eyes followed the line of Eric's arms, and the corded muscles there. The teen made himself look away least he be called out for his ogling. It was a small comfort that Jae was no slouch in that department either. He was lithe but toned and packed with endurance.
"My magic stuff?" Jae couldn't help but laugh, because it was true. A sudden bought of magical puberty twisted his life upside down and changed everything that he knew of himself. His looks, his family. . . With some effort Jae pushed those thoughts from his mind. It was easy to slip back into the ease of his conversation with Eric.
Jae glanced around them, but found no one interested in the two of them. He swam forward and said in a soft, conspiratorial manor. "I came into my latent magic." He said, "And it turns out I'm a merman." While he still felt bold, Jae shifted forth then back. For a brief moment his hair turned brilliant red, and his legs shifted into a baby blue fish tail with long, elegant fins. Only for a moment, and his legs returned along with his glossy black hair.
"What about you?"
