Van felt his head was killing him, as if he had the headache of all headaches, slightly opening his eyes didn't make things easier, he could see the rusted metal that made up sewers walls spinning in front of his eyes, making him feel like he was about to vomit.
"Uhh" he tried to ignore the pain, sitting up and taking his hands to his temple, trying to rub away the dizziness, he knew chasing that thing would be dangerous but he never expected it to hurt so much.
He momentarily forgot about the pain when he saw a few locks of pink hair dangling in front of his eyes, trying to ignore this, thinking it was probably some old disposed wig, he tried to throw it away, only for it to pull from his scalp, making him whine like a little baby, "Ahhhhhh!"
After yelling, he took a hand to his head, where the soreness had been replaced by a different kind of pain, only for him to noticed something, the hair he was touching was just too soft and long to be his own, he did have bangs but they weren't long enough to form what he was touching now, twin tails, what exactly had happened to his hair?
Van grunted as he opened his eyes once again, the pink locks were blocking part of his sight, he grunted but tried his best to ignore it, something that was quite easy when he looked down, seeing what looked like a lithe body, clad in a corset -like pink coat with long brown sleeves, beneath it he could see a white blouse and on the upper part he could see a green ribbon resting atop two small mounds.
"..." looking at the small mounds Van shuddered, where those breasts? A poke on them made it clear they were at lest part of his chest, while they didn't seem as large as Elaine's, from his perspective any breasts on his chest were just to big, not to mention the short red skirt that allowed him to see two long legs covered in black boots with a link trim that reached all the way to his thigh.
"Oh no..." he mumbled, the whinny voice coming out of him confirmed his fear, Nadia, that stupid beam had turned him into Nadia! "Agh I can't believe this!" he shouted, tugging from his now long pink locks, he dreaded to see what Elaine would...
"Elaine!" the lightbulb went on as he remembered her name, she had also been caught on that damn beam, did that mean she had been turned into someone else? Or was he the only one affected?
Looking around for any sign of his bracer friend, Van only found the unconscious body of Swim, and looking behind his own back Van also noticed a bunch of debris blocked the way.
"Oh great the party splits, just want we needed!" he sighed as he placed his hands on his hips, getting out of here would be a pain, being somehow stuck in a girl's body was just icing on the cake.
But tried not to think about that, he still had to wake up Swin and check out if he was still him or someone else, walking up to the unconscious boy he kneeled next to him and proceeded to carefully brought him back to consciousness by slapping him as hard Nadia's hand allowed him to, "Wake up!" he shouted, repeating the chant with each slap he gave, until eventually Swin's opened.
"Uhh..." was the only sound coming out of him, by the pained look on his face, Van could only assume he was also suffering side effects of fighting that beast, but was he still Swin?
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" the loud scream that came out of Swin as he looked at his own hands seemed to indicate the answer was no, his interest shifting from his hand to his face as he started to touch it, punching his own cheeks as of trying to wake up from a nightmare, buy all of this stopped when "Swin" looked at "Nadia", "You... you know how this happened? Did you do this Nadia?"
Van rolled his eyes, "I think the beast did this" he shrugged his shoulders, he was sure yet but it was the most probable choice, "And I'm not Nadia" he said, crossing his arms, being mistaken by a kid was annoying but he didn't really have a choice at the moment.
"Then who are you?" asked "Swin", getting up and making Van sigh as he realised the size difference between them, before he could barely call the kid tall but now he had to look up to him.
"Van" he admitted, trying to get it over now, hopefully this embarrassing situation would be just an awakening memory once they find the beast and force it to swap them back.
"Van?" whoever was inside Swin's body repeated, his confused face shifting from bewilderment to contain a chuckle, a chuckle that escaped his borrowed lips and become a laugh, "Hahahahaha, awww~" "Swin" tried to cooe as he walked to Van, seemingly not noticing his now masculine voice didn't sound feminine at all, not that he seemed to mind, placing a hand atop of Van's head, "You look so cute as Nadia, Van, ir should I call you Na-chan now?"
"Grrrr" Van didn't know what bothered him more, being headpated like he was a little kid or being called Nadia's nickname, not wanted to stand another second of this humiliation he decided to slap away "Swin's" hand, "Who do you think you are to tease me!? I'm not a little kid!" he shouted, wildly swinging his arms skywards, as a brat would do.
"Not helping your case, Van, as for who I am" the phrase was followed by a small vow, "Elaine Auclair, A-rank bracer, at your service, Na-chan" she said looking straight at his face, a smirk resting on her own.
Van could feel his face getting warmer, why of all people did he had to end up with her? Quickly looking away, he spotted Nadia's teddie bear where she stuffed her needless, now the fluffy being was covered in sewer water and reeked of wastes, but it was Nadia's weapon of choice and he might needed it to defend himself if they ran into something, not to mention the brat would probably be mad if he lost it, so taking a few shaky steps Van picked up the dirty stuffed bear.
"Awwwww~" Elaine cooed again, when he turned to see her, he found her hands were resting on her cheeks as she looked at him, again something that might have looked cute now looked odd, "You look so innocent right now Na-chan, except for the sewer waste, but that doesn't matter, why don't you tell me about Swin?"
"Stop that, Elaine! I'm not Nadia!" Van whined, his friend's smirk only making him angrier, he just couldn't stand looking at that smirk right now, "If you think.this is fun you can stay right here teasing me all you want, but I'm gonna find a way out!" he yelled, stomping away.
Or at least he tried, he only got a few steps away before tripping, internally cursing Nadia's heels he braced himself for impact, but before his face could touch the sewers his fall was stopped.
"You have to be more careful Van, Nadia would be mad if you come back covered in mud" the voice of Swin said, tilting his head he was able to see Elaine had stooped his fall, the braced had dropped the mocking and now her borrowed face had a more stoic expression but something was wrong.
Something in Elaine's face was making him fell odd, that messy brown hair, those orange eyes, the smooth face, the sharp expression and the way she was holding him, all of this was making him feel warm, like his face was burning, has Swin always been this handsome?
"Van?" Elaine asked, raising an eyebrow, helping her friend back on her feet, her worry grew as she saw him turning back his face, refusing to look at her, stumbling away, "You need help? I know it can be hard to walk on heels, specially in a place like this"
"I'm fi-fine!" Van shouted, his borrowed voice cracking, he couldn't even look at Elaine, she would notice how much he was blushing, it was impossible not to notice! He needed to get out of this body now!
