Kel appeared above me. “Really?”
“Yes! Better than with my contacts or glasses. Better than ever before!”
“Do you feel any pain? Any lingering stinging or stabbing sensations? Do your muscles or bones ache?”
“Nope. I feel fan-fucking-tastic.”
His eyes fluttered. “I… wow. Yeah, okay then. That’s awesome,” he said, undoing the binding on my head.
“You sound surprised. Why do you sound surprised?” I asked as he untied my wrists.
“I’m not surprised,” he said, freeing my ankles. “I’m just really glad it worked!”
I sat up. “Was there a possibility it wasn’t going to?” I said, shifting so my legs dangled off the side while he tapped on his screens.
“I wasn’t sure it would.”
“WHAT?”
He looked over his shoulder. “Kidding! I was fairly certain it would work.”
“What the actual fuck, Kelvin?!”
“I’m just a little surprised there were no side effects.” He handed me a towel to clean the cum off my abdomen and thighs. “I’d hypothesized that my new method would reduce them, but not eliminate them entirely.”
“What side effects?” The tingle was still pleasant, but had turned into an itch all over my body. Though the towel wiping the cum off my skin felt great. “What the fuck did you do to me?”
“I fixed your vision.”
“I meant how, jackass.” I tossed the cummy towel at him, which he caught with the reflexes of an MLB infielder.
“Well…” His smile was just on this side of deranged. “You now have trillions of nanobots coursing through your blood.”
“Fucking WHAT?” I felt lightheaded and gripped the bed to steady myself. “Nanobots? What the fuck are you talking about?”
“Yes. Nanobots. A tenth the size of a red blood cell, able to repair or replace every single cell in your body. No more bad eyesight. No hearing or hair loss when you’re older. You’ll still need to work out, but one rep will do the work of ten, and your muscles will be repaired before you even rack the weight. You’ll never develop cancer or get an infection. Basically, for the rest of your life, since there’s enough fuel to last seventy years. You’ll be faster, stronger, with better reflexes and more endurance than any normal man.”
My head swam. “Did you turn me into fucking Spider-Man?”
Kel laughed. “No, no. Not superhuman, but better than normal. Better than you were.” He looked down at my flaccid penis. “Oh, and it made your cock bigger too. Right before you came, it grew maybe another inch. Was pretty hot to watch, actually.”
My soft cock sat on top of my balls. It looked bigger. Thicker. I picked it up and squeezed it just to make sure it wasn’t half hard or something. Nope. Totally limp.
The room spun faster, and the tingling itch made my skin hot. “Why did it… they… whatever do that? I was happy with my size. You seemed to like it.”
“I did.” He smirked, and I had the urge to get up and kiss him, but didn’t think I’d be good on my feet. “I honestly don’t know. But are you mad about it?”
“I guess not.” I looked at my dick again and then him. “So what was…” The prickling receded from my scalp, hands, and feet, but it stopped being pleasurable altogether. “What was… why did it hurt? And then not hurt?”
He leaned against one of the giant tanks behind the gurney. I finally saw the things that had covered my body were sensors with little needles. Each one was attached to the computer array with wiring, and the tanks with tubing. “The pain can be attributed to the bots doing their first repair mission. It should’ve continued over the next few weeks, but I guess they wanted to get it all done at once.”
“They wanted? Like they have a personality?”
“No. Just an AI to find and repair damage.”
“Why did it feel good?” My legs and arms were itch-free, but I scratched my lower back where the sensation was getting worse.
“That I’m unsure about.” He turned one of the screens to face me, displaying charts and numbers I could see perfectly well, but was too distracted by the increasing itch to read. “When my father did the procedure on me, it hurt, but it wasn’t the agony you were in. And then my body stung and ached for about a month afterward. But I’m guessing my new techniques, like having you nude to vent excess heat, making the bots enter your body from multiple points instead of just your shoulder, plus the tweaks I made to his original nanobot design, had some… interesting consequences.”
