“Kevin?”
“Yeah… I don’t know why, but…” He stood up quickly. “Do you think that might be my name?”
“I don’t know. Maybe?”
“Kevin sounds like a good name to me. Call me Kevin.”
I pulled my t-shirt down over my head and slid my arms into the holes as I straightened it.
“Do I look like a Kevin?”
“What does a Kevin look like?” I chuckled.
“Me, I guess.”
“Then, Kevin, it is. Hey, Kevin, I think you might want to take a shower too. I don’t have any clothes that will fit you, but you can put these back on.” I sniffed. He was indeed rather ripe.
“I can do that.” He stood up and started taking his clothes off before turning to me. “Is this alright?”
I chuckled as I turned towards him. “There are towels in the basket by the sink. Do you… remember how to use the shower?”
He nodded. “Weirdly, yes. It’s strange the things I remember and don’t. I think that I remember more things than I did yesterday.”
“Good. I’ll…” I stared at him as he threw his shirt on the bed and started undoing his pants. “I’ll just be in there.” I pointed, and he grinned so happily at me that it made my heart skip a beat.
“I’ll be back.” He pulled his pants down and kicked them off as he walked into the bathroom, showing me his perfectly toned bubble butt. Jesus, I wanted to do some very bad things to him, and this was not helping. I had to stop myself from ripping my clothes off and grabbing him before throwing him onto my bed.
What the fuck was happening to me?
No one had ever caused me such visceral feelings before, and I had no idea who he actually was. Hell, he didn’t know who the fuck he was.
I heard the shower turn on and his giggle as the water hit him.
Today was going to be a very weird day.
I had no idea how true that was going to be.

LANDON
My feet hurt.
We had knocked on several doors, and everyone was happy to see Heath, but they knew absolutely nothing about me. It was worrisome, and that felt like a new emotion for me. Old me, the person I couldn’t remember, he must have known what it was like to worry about something. But in my limited time as… Kevin, I hadn’t ever felt it before.
I hated it.
One person after another told us that they had never seen me before. It was exhausting and made me feel like perhaps I didn’t matter. There had to be someone here who knew me, wasn’t there? If not, how the fuck did I get here?
“We’lltryJudy’s place next. She’s a bit of an eccentric. I barely know her. She keeps to herself most of the time.” Heath put his hand on my lower back as we walked to what appeared to be the edge of the village. “She lives right outside of town.”
I glanced around and saw a small house sitting across from a tiny stream. A bridge spanned the water. Magic finds it difficult to live in water.
I stopped in my tracks. “Hey! I just… Do you know very much about magic?”
“Enough.”
“Does magic find water difficult to live in?”
