Title: The Ox~Chapter 1.
Author:FlippinKMoon
Rating: R-ish to be on the safe side
Pairing: Roger/John
Summary: John undergoes a strange transformation whilst tuning his bass while Keith and Roger look on.
Comments: Somewhat based off of Animorphs as well (but John isn’t battling evil aliens). This isn’t true as far as I know but it would be frickin’ sweet if it were.
John sat in the studio, tuning his bass. Keith was lying on the couch across from him, babbling somewhat incoherently about some friend of his he met in a bar. John smiled and continued to tune his bass. The sound of the door opening interrupted him. He looked up to see Roger standing in the doorway. His heart fluttered as he watched the little singer’s lips curl into a smile the moment their eyes met.
“Almost done tuning, Ox?” Roger asked.
John smiled, picturing an ox trying to tune a bass. He looked up at Roger.
“Almost, Rog,” John replied.
At that moment, John nearly collapsed due to a blinding headache. He set his bass down so as not to fall on it. He felt as if something was coming out of the side of his head. He fell to the floor and noticed that his hands were no longer hands but hooves. He felt and saw little black hairs start to poke out everywhere. He felt something shoot out of his spine. Suddenly he watched his nose grow out from his face as if it were a snout. He looked up at Roger who was staring in shock. John struggled to his feet to realize he could only stand on all fours. His clothing was in tatters below him. He staggered to the mirror to see a Cape Buffalo staring back at him.
“What the hell?” John managed to say.
He turned around to look at Keith and Roger who were still staring.
“John?” Keith asked. “We were only kidding about the whole “Ox” thing.”
John snorted. He scraped the floor with his hoof. Keith stood on the couch as if to get to higher ground for safety. The buffalo in John wanted to charge him. John shut his eyes and suddenly found himself naked on all fours. He felt his face. Nothing. He didn’t have horns or hooves. He rose carefully to his feet. He looked up at Roger who was unable to avert his eyes. Keith looked from Roger to John and then back to Roger. He was the only one privy to John and Roger’s secret relations. He smiled.
“I’ll leave you two here for a moment,” he said with a wink.
“Good God, John! What happened?” a voice asked causing all three to snap around.
Pete stood in the doorway, eyes wide in shock.
“He was trying to impersonate the Incredible Hulk,” Keith said wryly.
John blushed.
“Actually, I just wasn’t feeling well and I think I may have a fever…” John said, not covering up too well.
Pete sighed. “Borrow one of my robes so that you can get home and we’ll record later.”
John nodded. He looked at Roger.
“I’ll come with you.” Roger said, feeling John’s need for him.
John smiled and the two left the studio. Keith looked back at Pete
“Well, I have nothing to do… Do you want to go get drunk off our asses and then climb Big Ben?” Keith asked.
“I’ll pass,” Pete replied.
Keith shrugged and left Pete alone in the dressing room. Pete looked down at the shredded clothing on the floor.
“Incredible Hulk?”
