Muscle theft
"Nice twig arms, Danny-boy," Chad sneered, leaning against the weight rack as Daniel struggled to bench press just the bar. "You gonna cry when it crushes you?" The gym smelled like stale sweat and ammonia, the air thick with the grunts of bigger men lifting heavier things.
Daniel's arms trembled, the bar wobbling above his chest. He hated this placeāhated the way Chad's biceps flexed when he laughed, hated how his own reflection in the mirrors looked like a stick figure next to the others. He clenched his teeth and pushed the bar up, just barely locking his elbows before setting it back on the rack with a dull clang.
Chad snatched the bar off the rack one-handed, loading plates with casual ease. "Watch and learn, twig," he said, lying back and lifting the weight like it was nothing. His chest rose, his abs tight under the thin fabric of his tank top, veins popping along his forearms. Daniel couldn't look away.
Something prickled under his skināa weird warmth, like pins and needles, but deeper. Chad's grin faltered for a second, his arms twitching mid-rep. Daniel blinked. Was it just the light, or did Chad's bicep look... smaller?
Chad finished his set and sat up, rubbing his shoulder with a frown. "The fuck..." he muttered, flexing his arm like he was checking for something. Daniel exhaled sharply, suddenly aware of his own bodyāhis arms felt heavier, his shoulders oddly full. He glanced down. His shirt clung tighter than before.
Chad's fingers dug into his own bicep, his face twisting in confusion. "What the hell?" His voice cracked, high and unsteady, as if the confidence had been physically squeezed out of him. Daniel stood frozen, his pulse hammering in his throatānot from exertion now, but from something else. His sleeves strained against his arms, the fabric pulling taut where it had hung loose minutes before.
Chad staggered to his feet, his tank top suddenly baggy around his shoulders. "Did youā?" He lurched forward, grabbing Daniel by the collar, but his grip was weak, trembling. Daniel should've been scared. Instead, he felt... hungry. The prickling warmth surged again, radiating from where Chad's fingers touched his skin. Chad gasped, jerking his hand back like he'd been burned. His arms were visibly thinner now, his once-defined deltoids softening, his neck less corded.
Daniel flexed without thinking. His elbow popped audibly, his forearm swelling against his wristwatch strap. The buckle snapped. "Oh shit," he breathed, watching the veins rise under his own skināthick, roping things that hadn't been there before.
Chad stumbled back into the weight rack, his breathing shallow. "Stop it," he whispered. His voice was differentāhigher, reedier. His jawline blurred, his cheekbones less sharp. Daniel stepped closer, and Chad flinched. The dynamic had shifted, violently, irreversibly. Daniel towered over him now, his shadow swallowing Chad's shrinking frame.
The gym's background noiseāthe clanging plates, the thudding treadmillsāfaded into white noise. Daniel reached out, gripping Chad's shoulder. Not to push him away. To pull him closer. His fingers dug in, and Chad whimpered, his collarbone sharpening under Daniel's palm as if the flesh were melting away beneath it. The warmth between them wasn't sweat. It was transfer.
Daniel's back muscles rippled, his shirt seams splitting with a series of small, decisive pops. The fabric gave way entirely, exposing a torso that was no longer skinnyābroadened, hardened, carved with new ridges of muscle that flexed with each breath. Chad whimpered, his once-bulging arms now twig-thin, his tank top sagging off his collapsing frame. The veins in Daniel's neck throbbed as he inhaledādeep, greedyāand something moved between them, invisible but tangible, like steam rising from Chad's shrinking body into Daniel's expanding one.
Chad's knees buckled. He clutched at his own chest, his pecs deflating under his fingers like punctured balloons. "What are you doing?" he gasped, but his voice was thin now, reedyāa boy's voice, not a man's. Daniel didn't answer. His jaw clenched as heat flooded his groin, his cock swelling against his shorts, thickening, lengthening in a way that made his breath hitch. Chad's legs spasmed, his own bulge visibly shrinking, his sweatpants loosening as if the flesh beneath was evaporating.
"M-more..."
Daniel's head tipped back, his nostrils flaring as he grabbed Chad by the thorat. Memoriesānot his ownāflickered behind his eyelids: Chad laughing as he pinned some faceless kid against a locker, Chad flexing in a mirror, Chad fucking a girl with cocky, practiced thrusts. The images seared into Daniel's mind, vivid and invasive, and with them came a rush of knowingāhow to throw a punch, how to arch his back during a deadlift, how to hook a finger just so behind a girl's knee to make her gasp. His tongue dragged over his teeth, wet and eager. He could taste Chad's confidence, metallic and salty, like blood and pre-cum.
Chad's knees hit the rubber floor mat with a wet slap, his body collapsing inward like a deflating balloon. His fingersāonce thick and calloused from years of liftingānow scrabbled weakly against his own ribs, which jutted sharply under skin gone slack and pale. Daniel loomed over him, his own body a living paradox, every inch swelling with stolen vitality. The air between them hummed, thick with the scent of iron and salt, as if Chad's very essence were being cooked out of him.
Daniel's tongue flicked out again, catching the taste of Chad's fear in the airāsour, electric. His throat worked instinctively, swallowing nothing and everything at once. A wet, guttural sound tore from Chad's lips as his biceps visibly withered, the skin sagging loose around bone. Daniel could feel itāthe dense, coiled power unraveling from Chad's limbs and slithering into his own, his muscles pulsing with fresh growth. His cock twitched against his thigh, heavy and insistent, the fabric of his shorts straining obscenely as inches of stolen length packed into his groin.
Chad's hands clawed at his own chest, his pecs flattening beneath his fingers like dough deflating. "N-noā" His voice cracked into a whimper, his Adam's apple bobbing weakly under paper-thin skin. Daniel exhaled sharply, his own neck thickening, his trachea broadening to accommodate the rush of stolen testosterone flooding his veins. MemoriesāChad's memoriesāburst behind his eyelids in jagged flashes: the weight of a girl's thighs bracketing his hips, the smug stretch of his own biceps filling a sleeve, the hot rush of dominance as some faceless loser cowered under his glare. Daniel groaned, his hips jerking forward as his cock surged another half-inch, the head now visibly tenting his shorts.
Chad collapsed onto his side, his sweatpants pooling around his ankles as his legs thinned to sticks. His once-prominent bulge was gone, swallowed by fabric now three sizes too big. Daniel's hand dropped to his own crotch, palming the monstrous outline thereā*his* now, thick and veined and twitching with every stolen pulse of Chad's stolen virility. A wet patch bloomed at the tip, pre-cum soaking through the fabric.
The transfer wasn't just physical. Daniel's mind flexed, his thoughts gaining a brash, swaggering edge that hadn't been there before. He knewā*knew*āhow to roll his shoulders to make his delts pop, how to smirk just crooked enough to make girls bite their lips. His tongue traced his teeth, now slightly sharper, and he imagined the phantom weight of Chad's ego dissolving on his taste budsāsalty, metallic, addictive.
Chad whimpered, his body folding in on itself like a discarded puppet. His hairāonce thick and glossyāthinned into patchy strands, his jawline softening into something boyish, undefined. Daniel crouched over him, his new muscles casting Chad in shadow. "Look at you," Daniel murmured, his voice deeper, richer, threaded with Chad's own discarded confidence. He gripped Chad's wristāso brittle nowāand pressed it against his own swelling bicep. "Feel that? That's yours."
Chad's breath hitched, his eyes wide and glassy. His lips moved soundlessly, but Daniel didn't need to hear itāhe knew what Chad was losing because he was drinking it down greedily, gulp after gulp, until nothing remained but a hollowed-out husk gasping at his feet.
