The rain hammered against the glass, and bored out of your mind, you rummaged through the dusty "mystery box" beneath the coffee table. Your fingers closed around something soft and unusually firm. You pulled it out: a plush doll, small and strangely detailed, shaped like a miniature male figure. What made you pause was the definite, softly sculpted male anatomy attached.

What a bizarre thing to find, you thought, turning it over. You brought it closer, intending only to examine the fabric. You gently ran your thumb over the velvety plush—a simple, idle touch to test the texture.

Miles away, at his friend's noisy apartment, Leo was laughing at a joke when a sudden, sharp jolt—a dizzying rush of sensation—hit him low. He gasped, his back arching almost imperceptibly, his laughter immediately dying in his throat. He stumbled slightly, grabbing the edge of the counter, his mind scrambling to understand the intense, electric feeling that had just ripped through him.

"Dude, you okay?" his friend asked over the music. "Yeah, fine," Leo managed, his voice sounding tight, his heart inexplicably racing. "Just... weird cramp."

Back at your apartment, you were still studying the doll, admiring the quality of the stitching. You gave the plushie one more, firmer squeeze before dropping it back into the box, satisfied that you'd found the strangest thing you owned.

Meanwhile, Leo, still leaning against the counter, let out a low, involuntary sound, his eyes squeezing shut. The feeling was back, amplified, leaving him breathless and utterly confused. Neither of you knew that an invisible, embarrassing connection had just been activated, all thanks to a strange plush toy.
