Andrew and Daniel are fraternal twins, born from different eggs. They bear some resemblance, but their features differ by about fifty percent. Upon close observation, even their skin tones exhibit slight variations. Andrew's skin leans towards a bronze complexion compared to Daniel's.
Naturally, there is no need for deliberate comparisons since they are inseparable. During early embryonic development, the twin embryos engaged in a process of mutual absorption, resulting in a balanced rivalry. Rather than developing into separate entities, they became a conjoined duo with two heads, capturing the avid interest of medical professionals.
Daniel, with short hair, was the first to awaken in bed. His head rested on the right side, while Andrew, sporting long hair, dozed off on the left.
For them, it was an ordinary morning. Daniel took charge of their shared body, rising and making his way to the bathroom.
The only discernible distinction in their physique, compared to typical individuals, lies in the presence of a partially fused spine and an additional head. Their spines converged at the waist, rendering them virtually identical to a normal male from the navel downward, with one exception: they possess two distinct scrotums while sharing a single penis.
As one moves closer to their heads, the contrasting hues of their skin become increasingly apparent, a testament to their conjoined twin disposition.
They share virtually the entire body, encompassing sensations and control. The only variance arises in the higher degree of control each exercises over their respective upper arm on their individual side. However, as Andrew remains sound asleep, Daniel assumes control over Andrew's left hand.
This unique bodily configuration obviates the need for extensive mastery of bodily control. Their primary objective lies in learning how to lend their advantageous hand to their sibling when required, such as for driving.
Daniel removes their sole pair of undergarments and stands before the bathroom's custom-made full-length mirror.
"I wonder what warrants documentation about this!"
Last week, during Daniel's slumber, Andrew clandestinely signed a contract with a medical institution at 2 a.m. The agreement necessitates recording the shared condition of their bodies three times daily for the upcoming year. The comprehensive form includes minute details, even encompassing their shared external genitalia...
Evidently, Andrew flawlessly emulated Daniel's handwriting and affixed both names to the contract.
Initially, Daniel felt a tinge of annoyance since the "one-year commitment" was Andrew's initiative. However, upon glimpsing the somewhat extravagant compensation, he ultimately relented.
The funds hold great significance for them, especially considering Daniel's wife, Amanda, actively pursuing conception.
"Wow!"
Abruptly, the bathroom door swings open as Amanda, attired in work garments, hurries inside, clutching a shoulder bag and keys, visibly startled by her husband's unclothed state.
"Hey, dear, why... are you back?"
"Oh, I simply forgot my phone!"
Amanda points to her phone, inadvertently left in a corner, and maneuvers past Daniel.
Subsequently, Amanda catches sight of the other head, belonging to Andrew, peacefully resting on her husband's body.
"After we fell asleep last night, did Andrew surreptitiously stay up late again?" Amanda voices her frustration. "You need to take charge of your 'other half'; it's not conducive to our future children!"
Daniel shrugs helplessly and bids Amanda farewell with a kiss.
"Oh, by the way, Andrew might be joining Casey for a rock party tonight, you know..."
As Amanda reaches the doorway, she overhears Daniel's remark and rubs her forehead in exasperation. "Fine, but he...you better be home before eleven, and absolutely no drinking! I detest the scent of alcohol on your breath!"
