Chapter 2: Building Tension
Nick and Brian pushed the locker room door open, welcomed by the room's hushed atmosphere. Soft whispers escaped from the corners while the gentle clanging of metal lockers reverberated through the white-walled space. A shiver ran down Brian's spine, uncertain if it stemmed from a mix of arousal or apprehension.
They chose individual cubicles located next to each other, providing a semblance of privacy while remaining close.
Soft terrycloth towels were within arm's reach, and the aroma of clean linen filled the locker room.
They both retreated to their individual cubicles for a shower, but Nick knew he could make profound changes even when separated. Nick frowned in concentration as he worked. As Brian felt alone in his shower, surrounded by steam and hot water, he felt flush as Nick's magic took a gentle hold of his form. Gentle ripples crossed his figure, while a tingling sensation began to dance along his nerves - not unpleasant, but wholly unfamiliar.
The water seemed to patter in time around him as delicate wisps of steam swirled around his body. He closed his eyes, allowing the warm beads and Nick's soothing spell to transform his body further.
