Just Desserts

Special Guest Appearance Courtesy of The Body Swap Clique

I had gone shopping at my local WalMart store the other day and decided to browse through the magazine section. My eye caught a glimpse of a very handsome model on the cover of a men’s fashion magazine, one of a kind apparently since there were no others like it on the shelf. Upon closer inspection, I discovered the model was Matt Bomer, an actor I recognized from a few TV shows I had seen. I wasn’t particularly a fan of his but for some reason I had an overwhelming desire to buy the magazine and that compulsion and excitement only got deeper as I stood in line to pay for it.
I got to my house and set the magazine down on the table while I took off my jacket and went to hang it up. Imagine my surprise when, instead of the magazine I had purchased, I found a tabloid paper upon my return. How had that gotten there? The front page had a picture of the Amell cousins Robbie and Stephen rather than Matt. Curious, I opened the paper to find Matt on the second page yet every page after blank. Strange tabloid with only two stories in it.
Cavanaugh’s Celebrity Chatter
Matt Bomer: Sexiest Gay Man Alive?

I couldn’t help but stare at that handsome face and those beautiful eyes. It was like he was gazing straight into my soul. Dam, did all gay guys look this hot? Mind you I’m not gay. I didn’t deny “them” their lifestyle but I wanted nothing to do with “them”. My philosophy had always been “you don’t bother me and I won’t bother you”. Yet I envied him despite him being one of “them”.  As I stood there looking at the picture I could have sworn a jolt of electricity passed into me from his eyes but I thought nothing further of it until an intense pain overwhelmed my entire body. My insides were rearranging themselves to align with my lengthening legs and torso, the bones crunching sickeningly as they expanded. What was happening to me? I doubled over from the pain until suddenly a euphoric bliss overtook me as my muscles blossomed and molded themselves into powerful carved works of art. By the time the changes ceased my clothes were unable to contain the new me. I was standing stark naked, panting heavily from the phantom orgasm I had just experienced.
I rushed to my bathroom so I could check myself out, excited yet dreading what I might see. What a glorious sight I beheld, my body now looking much younger and muscular than before with a vitality I hadn’t felt in years coursing through my veins. My skin had darkened to a great tan shade and I had lost all my body hair. My body was beautiful, like a sculptured masterpiece by Michelangelo. One other fact didn’t escape my notice either: my package was a beast befitting of this body. Then I glanced up at my face…

Unfortunately, my head was not in sync with the rest of my body. What a joke I would be having a young god’s body with an old man’s face. I was lamenting how cruel Fate could be when my head began to pulse. As I stood gaping into the mirror I watched as my thin gray hair grew longer while becoming thicker and black, followed by my features reshaping to become classically handsome with a chiseled jaw. Finally, my eyes went from muddy brown to piercing blue. I couldn’t get enough of myself. I looked like Matt Bomer! I was enjoying the idea of having the body of a stud. Ah, the women would go crazy over me now.
“Men will, too.”
“I don’t care about the men.”
“Well of course you do Michael!”
I can’t believe I’m standing here naked arguing with myself. “My name isn’t…”
“Of course it is. Michael David Bomer.”
 “No! I’m not related to… “
“Yes, you are. You’re his identical twin. Identical in every way. People can’t tell you apart. Michael and Matt Bomer – the two sexiest gay men on the planet.”
I felt dizzy. The room began to blur in and out until finally I found myself in a much larger luxurious apartment, dressed quite stylishly in a gray suit, white shirt, and tie. I had great clothes sense like my brother.

“No, no, no. I’m not Michael.” This couldn’t be happening. Please wake me up!
“You are awake, Michael.” I spun around to see a stranger talking to me. “I’m Mr. Cavanaugh… you know… Cavanaugh’s Celebrity Chatter.”
“You… you did this to me?”
“Actually, you did it to yourself. I just helped a bit with the details.”
“But I’m not Michael. I’m still me.”
“And you always will be aware of who you were but I’m quite sure you are now Michael. Your memories, mannerisms, everything about you is Michael.”
I had the perfect body, the perfect life, and I was the one thing I despised most. I was one of “them”.
“Just desserts, don’t you think? Don’t forget you have a dinner date with Matt and his husband in an hour. You don’t want to be late.”
Memories flooded into my head. I remembered I had a very handsome date waiting for me. Much to my disgust and delight, the thought of picking him up for the evening started to arouse me. My body, my beautiful god-like body, was betraying me. I was anticipating the pleasure coming later after dinner.
 “Enjoy your new life.” With that Mr. Cavanaugh disappeared, his laughter echoing in my head.
“Wait… you can’t leave me like this I…” but he was gone. I knew there was no going back. I sighed, the old part of me cringing as I resigned myself to who I now was. I was Matt’s twin and I loved my brother above all else. I went to the mirror to make sure I was ready for my date. My reflection stared back at me with those beautiful soul-piercing eyes and sexy smile. I guess there were worse fates than being Michael.
Mr. Cavanaugh sat in his study relaxing after a job well done, contemplating who might read his tabloid next.
