be discreet

It's not much later, in Isabella's room, that she asks:

"So... is Alex really a dom?"

Comments

[mrmage]

Snuggle. "I presume a bunch of teens go into activism when they're about this old, but I don't really have it in me. I understand the problem and such, but other than convincing individual people that switches are in fact a thing," shrug.

[eclipsi]

"Okay. She might bring it up; she does know you're a switch. But it shouldn't be hard to steer her elsewhere."

[mrmage]

"It's not that I don't want to talk about being a switch, I'm just not gonna be very clear about or forthcoming with information on how it's interacted with my history."

[eclipsi]

Nod, nod. Pet pet.

[mrmage]

Snuggle.

[eclipsi]

"To be honest she's not likely to focus on your childhood in particular. More like, 'do you get that thing where you go into a store and you can see the cashier decide you're a sub who had an accident at the barber'."

[mrmage]

He giggles. "I mean, I have had this happen recently, yes."

[eclipsi]

"Aw, pet." Pet pet.

[mrmage]

"The collar's more indicative than anything. I don't mind it that much, and I don't think I act all that subby most of the time. And I'm definitely not gonna walk around without the collar, heck yeah I belong to you."

[eclipsi]

"Good boy." She kisses the top of his head. "I like you submissive to me but I don't require you to be submissive at me, let alone when I'm not around, if that makes sense."

[mrmage]

"It does, and yeah, I've kinda noticed this," he grins. "I could be submissive at you if you wanted. Wouldn't change all that much, I'm pretty much on the edges of subspace whenever you're around."

[eclipsi]

"I like you how you are. I'm actually kind of tickled by the fact that you run around not acting particularly subby until I in particular give you a push."

[mrmage]

He laughs. "Yes, I think I can see the appeal."

[eclipsi]

She kisses his head again.

[mrmage]

Eeeee.

"I love you."

[eclipsi]

"Good." Snuggle.

[mrmage]

Snuggle!

[eclipsi]

And train ride!

And they are picked up at the station by Alex.

[catalexis]

"Get in the car, we have dinner reservations."

[mrmage]

"Oh, nice, where are we eating? Also, maybe a bit early, but," he opens his bag to rummage through it for an egg-shaped candy, and offers it to Alex. "Happy Easter!"

[catalexis]

"Ooh, thanks! Brazilian barbecue place, it's a bit of a drive, good thing your train wasn't late. Hope you're hungry, it's all you can eat."

[mrmage]

"Yeah, ravenous."

[eclipsi]

"They'll bring us meat, some of it weird meat, and there's a salad bar. And grilled pineapple."

[mrmage]

"What's weird meat?"

[eclipsi]

"I think one time there were rabbit hearts?"
