“Are you doing ok? You seem jumpy–no one’s going to notice, I promise.”
It was a few days later, and the longer Jeremiah had stewed on the strange shit he’d witnessed in Terry’s, or Terrance’s room that afternoon, the more angry he had gotten. It was clearly a honeypot–he was hoping to get Jeremiah on video having sex, and then expose him. But what fucking right did he, or they, have to do any of that shit to him? Maybe in another life, Jeremiah would have been able to be open about his sexuality–the world was changing fast. Hell, if he did make it to the pros, maybe he could come out then and help change some minds. But it was his fucking decision to make, not some stranger’s, so they could raise their own profile at his own expense. Still, was this the right decision? He stepped into the dorm building while Terry held the door open for him, and then followed him upstairs to his room, pretending to not know where they were going after he’d followed him before.
It was that…change, which still confused him the most. How had Terrance gone from being that five and a half foot wisp of a twink to being Terry–six two, 250 pounds of muscle–in the course of a second? He still found it hard to believe what he’d seen with his own eyes. He was going to get to the bottom of it, in any case, and after a nice rough up, he was sure Terrance, or Terry, or whoever they were, would be happy enough to go find someone else’s life to fuck up. Terry unlocked the door with another wink at Jeremiah, who did his best not to look too flustered in return, and followed him inside. As soon as they were in, before the door even closed, Terry was stripping off his shirt–but Jeremiah didn’t give him a chance to do much else. He grabbed him by the head, tangled in fabric, and slammed him into the wall beside them.
“You fucker–you think my life is a fucking joke, eh? Think it’s fucking funny, ruining someone’s fucking life?” he shouted, and started kicking at him where he’d fallen and was struggling–with one solid kick to the chin, however, he stopped moving. Worried he might have killed him, he hauled the shirt away from Terry’s face and felt for a pulse–it was there, he was just unconscious for the moment, which gave Jeremiah plenty of time to find that strange device, and see if he could solve the other piece of this puzzle.
It was on Terry’s desk, where he’d picked it up before. It looked like a really thick smartphone, with an operating system he’d never seen before. As soon as he picked it up, the screen flashed a message:
“Chronivac 5.0 has detected a new user. Download manual?”
It had a yes/no prompt, and he his yes–not really caring–and felt his brain start…exploding for a few seconds. When it stopped, he looked down at the device in his hands, and realized that it had downloaded the instructions right into his brain. This thing was a Chronivac, and this thing could…change people. Make them different in about every single way possible. It seemed impossible, but between his sudden burst of knowledge from the thing, and what he’d seen happen with Terry/Terrance the day before…could it really be true?
He found Terrance’s profile, and sure enough, he was currently in the middle of a transformation–a profile he’d called Terry. He reverted him, and watched as the massive hunk on the floor shrank, and a few seconds later the twink was there, moaning slightly and nursing the side of his face where he’d struck the wall. He looked up at Jeremiah, standing over him with the Chronivac in his hand–his eyes went wide and he lunged, but Jeremiah stepped back, swung, and sent him careening back, before finding the freeze command on Terrance’s profile. In a moment, he was stiff as a statue on the ground, obviously in a panic.
“You fucker–you little fuck!” Jeremiah screamed at him, “This was your fucking plan? Not only would you get me to fuck you, you were then…what, going to make a video of it? Show the whole fucking campus?” He looked around, and sure enough, there were a few small, inconspicuous spy cameras on some of the shelves around the room. He grabbed them, stomped on them, and then started looking for more. Terrance was desperately fighting his frozen body, but every muscle had locked solid–even drawing breath was a struggle. How in the world had a brute like Jeremiah even figured him out? This was supposed to be the easy one! He had a few articles that were going to take the whole year to pull off–and now he’d been brought low by some closeted fucking football player.
Jeremiah sat down on the bed, and tried to control himself. He’d done it–he’d won, but he didn’t feel any better. This fuck–this machine. It could fuck with everything. Terrance could just wipe his memory of this, he could get him one way or another. No–this…he was going to have to do something about this, to get rid of this rat permanently. He scrolled through some menus, and found the settings he needed–making Terrance obedient to his commands, first and foremost, and then unfreezing his mouth, so he could talk–after ordering him not to scream or try and get help.
“Look, we can work this out,” Terrance said, “I’m sorry–this was shitty to do, but you can help me! That’s what this was really about. I…needed an inside guy, to get to the rest of the football team. I wasn’t going to leak it, I really wasn’t!”
“What, you would just blackmail me for the rest of my life?”
“No!”
It was a lie, and they both knew it. Jeremiah was going to have to make sure this fucker couldn’t talk–or that…he’d never want to talk. A bit of an idea was starting to occur to him, and with this Chronivac thing, he could do it easily. “Well, first of all, you should know that ‘Terry’ isn’t really my type at all. If you really want me to fuck you, then we’re going to have to fix you up a bit first. But why don’t you take a quick nap, Terrance? I’ll wake you up when you’re ready.”
Before Terry could even beg, Jeremiah had put him to sleep with the chronivac, and started working on a new custom profile for the little faggot. Little did he know, but he’d just solved a few of Jeremiah’s problems–he certainly wasn’t going to have to worry about going without sex anymore–not with Terrance helping him out from now on.
