Furiously pouring from the showerhead, it covered up the noise of his groaning as he laid it. There was no doubt that this was his egg. Aiden was a layer, just like me. He looked absolutely terrified. I knew from the in-game encyclopedia that if you were discovered, really bad things could happen to you and your family. Aiden looked frantic to say something. I covered his mouth, only letting a squeak out. "Watch me." I sat. He only gave me a small nod. I then took a squat and I got a tutorial for the egg laying minigame. I could tell there was an egg inside me at the start of the game. Basically, there was a pattern of core squeezes you had to do to get the egg out of your body. You had to match the particular pattern 3 times in a row to complete the challenge. You only got 10 tries to get it right. It took time for me to get it right. I missed the cue entirely the first time. The second and third one I got, but the next one I messed up. It was halfway out of my ass when it slid back up. I had to start over again. I got the next 3 in a row perfectly. My egg was the same size and color as Aiden's. Aiden gasped.
We were in the same boat. But we had the same problem. "How are we going to get them out of here?" he asked me in a whisper. I was going to crush mine and let it go down the drain. They were just useless balls, as far as I was concerned. When I did it, he looked shocked. He did not seem to be too keen on crushing his. I asked if it was alright for me to do it. He paused for a moment before nodding. I stomped down on it and aimed the shower head to wash away the mess. Once they were all gone, we were in the clear. I pat him on the shoulder to encourage him. Aiden gave a sigh of relief and smiled. "Thank you. My eggs always come in the mornings. I have to keep them inside until I get home." he said softly. The water pressure of the shower was still raging. "Let's clean up and get out of here." I said. He held up a washcloth. I looked at him. "Can I get your back for you?" he asked. I shrugged and let him do it if that was how Aiden truly felt. It felt good to let someone clean all the hard-to-reach spots on my body. When he was done, I did the same thing for Aiden. It was only fair of me.
Turning off the showerhead, we were able to get out of there. Nobody even seemed to notice that we were in there together. That was great for us. Aiden lent me a spare towel and we dried off together in the locker room. That was good. I did not want to stand there dripping wet. Air drying would take a while. Aiden had a new outfit on. A black set of spats were in the bag along with an identical top to the one he was wearing before. His fingerless gloves were back on as well. He sat down on the benches and watched as he saw me put the same clothes I had from before back on. His nose crinkled up in distaste. "You didn't pack a change of clothes with you!? Those are going to stink of sweat." he said. I just shrugged. "I'm new in town. I did not even know where I could find a gym. I got directions to come here. Since I was here, I thought I could use some working out." I told him. Aiden smiled and said "Working out does feel great." I smiled back. It was time to go. I had to find a place to stay, and I found that there was a motel on the rougher side of town that had a room for $600 a month.
