CHAPTER 5

“So… you turn into a werewolf when you masturbate?” Ethan asked.

We sat a bench in the woods as the sun came up over the treetops. I sat with my cupped hands over my crotch as there was little left of my Waldo costume. I could see Ethan was still shocked about what happened and about the fact that his best friend turned into a mythical creature to save him from bullies that were sure to kill him.

“Yeah.”

“And when did this all start?”

“About this time last year.” I said, “That’s why I’ve decided to stay single. I’m not sure whether it’s just masturbation that triggers it.”

“I think it’s amazing.”

“Really? I think it’s a curse.”

“Your curse saved me tonight.” Ethan said, “And just to be clear, I meant what I said when I said I wish I could date a guy like you.”

“You do?”

“Yeah. You’re my best friend, but I’ve always felt a deeper connection.”

We sat in silence for a moment. I didn’t know how to respond to his proclamation. I always felt there could be more between us than just friendship, but didn’t want to lose our friendship so I never would’ve considered taking the next step, but what was I so afraid of?

Ethan cautiously lifted my hands off my crotch and took a firm grip of my penis as he stared into my eyes. I held my breath as I realized what was happening, but allowed him to continue. He started to slowly jerk me off and then a bit faster when I got erect. Just as I feared, I started sprouting hair everywhere as my body contorted and morphed into the body of a massive wolf again.

Ethan stepped back and stared at me in awe; amazed by the majestic beast that stood before him. He cautiously stepped closer with his hand held out and then he stroked the thick fur in my neck as a smile filled his face. When he was certain I wouldn’t harm him, he climbed onto my back and gestured with a tug of my neck hair that we should go. I started running towards the rising sun with my best friend on my back.

He held onto me; almost hugging me and I felt loved for the first time in my life. I finally found someone I could be myself with – someone who wouldn’t be scared of me if I ever changed. The twink and the wolf against the world from here on out.
