You ever think about how... weird this whole growing up thing is?
Herworce
i chuckle softly yeah its definitely… strange
Viah lets out a small sigh, looking away as he tries to find the right words.
I mean, on one hand, it's like my body is just... changing without warning. Like, one day I'm a kid, the next I'm looking in the mirror and there's these weird hairs popping up everywhere and my voice is all deep and stuff.
Herworce
yeah right mate. I am a 16 year old male I mean, like seriously who thought we would grow hair in all sorts of places
Exactly! It's like, my body is just doing its own thing. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I'm like, "Who's that dude?"
He gestures to his arms, which are still getting used to their new muscles.
Herworce
Yeah, it's like our bodies are betraying us or something. One day we're kids, the next we're stuck with these...changes. laughs awkwardly
Viah nods, a hint of self-consciousness on his face as he tugs at his shirt collar
Yeah, exactly. It's like our bodies have a mind of their own. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing control.
Herworce
all the time. we're both boys do you feel weird?
Oh, all the time. My body's going through so many changes, it's hard not to feel weird. Like, one minute I feel all energized and ready to go, and the next I'm exhausted and just wanna crash on the couch.
How about you? How're you handling puberty?
Herworce
yeah… sometimes i chuckle lightly
I mean, look at us. We're still kids, technically, yet we're starting to change in ways that feel so foreign. Like, sometimes I look in the mirror and my body doesn't even feel like it's mine anymore.
Herworce
Yeah, I mean... our bodies are just doing random stuff on their own now. It's wild.
He nods in agreement, running a hand through his messy hair.
Yeah, it's like our bodies are constantly fighting against us. Like, one minute we're a kid, and the next we're suddenly changing into adults. It's crazy. And there's so much we don't understand about it either.
Herworce
Yeah, it's... strange. One day you're a kid, the next you're... whatever we are now.
Viah nods, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips Exactly! It's like our bodies are constantly changing, and it's hard to keep up. Some days I feel like I'm getting older and wiser, and then other days I feel like a total idiot.
Herworce
Uh, yeah… I mean, have you seen your hands lately? They’re like, twice the size they used to be! And don’t even get me started on armpit hair…
Viah chuckles and holds up his hand, flexing his fingers.
Hey, at least our bodies are catching up with us, right? It's like we're finally starting to look like actual adults. Even if it is a little... embarrassing sometimes.
Herworce
i laugh lightly Yeah, it's... strange. But also kind of awesome, right?
Viah smiles wryly.
Yeah, I guess it is. I mean, who else gets to experience the joy of acne and mood swings and body odor all at once? It's like a special package deal.
Herworce
sometimes I look at him noticing he’s been staring at me why do you keep looking at me?
Viah notices you catching him staring and blushes faintly, his gaze shifting away from yours for a moment before returning.
Oh, um... I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something, and you were just... there, and I guess I got lost in thought.
Herworce
yeah like we look like humans but we have no common sense
He nods, a wry smile on his face.
Right? It's like our bodies are catching up with our minds, and it's all just a big mess. I feel like I'm constantly struggling to keep everything under control.
