Off was currently laying in bed, he was staring at the black old book. "Why does love have to do with switching bodies, love is-is something I don't know about" the male said while his fingers traced the outline of the book. "I wonder.....if we'll be able to switch back." The male uttered, it had been almost two weeks now, and the two still hadn't switched back.

Gun was nice, he tried his hardest to be normal off for a day but when it was only them two, he was a clingy clumsy over hyper kid. No matter how annoying it was, in a small sense it was endearing. Off still paid for small things when none were looking. He had visited Gun's mother and she seemed very nice. It seemed Gun and her were really close, sometimes off would take advantage of that.

He would sit with her and talk even if it were small interactions, Off felt slight jealousy for Gun. The way his family seemed so caring even when they would struggle with financial Billings.

Off walked near the window and looked at the rising sun. Off had woken up way before the sun-he couldn't sleep. His mind always drifted to the younger or to a possible reason they switched. Off kept the book but never chose to read it, too tired to read the constant bullshit about

Switching bodies is because you love the other or you switched bodies with your true love

It was annoying to read as Off wasn't much of a fan for love. He had never grown up with the thought of falling or being in love-no he wasn't afraid to love it's just he never experienced that emotion of fulfilling peace.

Off looked out the window, the dull dark sky slowly looking bright with life as the sun began to rise. Today wasn't a school day, so he would meet Gun elsewhere. He walked near the mirror and looked at himself-Gun-he chuckled a bit. "I never realized you have cute chubby cheeks. You look adorable?" Off touched the tan skin, his fingers tracing the outlines. "Your cute"

"And that's how me and tea were able to get free ice cream" the male cheerful spoke while munching on his own ice cream smiling in content. "Hey are you listening" Gun frowned and off couldn't help but be surprised, he never frowned and seeing himself frown just shocked him a bit-not to say everything that was happening now wasn't a shocking thing.

"I am listening Gun. I'm just thinking about a few things." Off confessed and he also tasted his ice cream.

"Like....what?" Gun questioned softly. He knew very well that Off was reserved, he could tell by the way his room was filled with many books and his phone practically void of anything but 3 phone numbers-Mom, Dad, and Tay-the only number with the most calls was Tay which had 4 calls the most.

"I wonder if we'll ever switch back." Off said softly. Gun looked at Off and placed his hand over the other. Both males felt the sparks, it was a small spark that meant nothing.

"I know we will." Gun smiled trying to reassure both himself and the other. Off could only stare. He wouldn't Lie, he found Gun annoying in some moments but slowly grew found of him, Gun was the only person who actually understood what Off is going through.

Gun was entering his house and small tears formed in his eyes. "I miss you" he whispered, he really missed his home, he missed his parents his sister, he missed just being at the dinner table and laughing about stupid useless things. He missed being with his family.

Gun was happy he switched, it showed him someone else's view and what they went through but he only hated it because he missed his family. He missed just being able to joke around with his sister or hug his father even just listen to his mother talking. He just missed his old life. What he told off in the ice cream shop was more to comfort himself than off. Deep down he wished they would switch back already he missed what he once had-but each time he had that thought guilt would pull at him. He felt guilty, he was living Off's life. Off was rich beyond belief and yet it seemed so cold and distant, he felt lonely even when he had money to buy him whatever he wanted. He wondered how off felt all that time living an opulent life yet feeling so alone.
