be discreet

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

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

Comments

[mrmage]

"I don't mean just existing. Although, well, yeah, that, too. But... you know, this is easier to deal with, with you."

[eclipsi]

"If you say so, lovely."

[mrmage]

"It is," he insists. "You're the best."

[eclipsi]

She kisses the top of his head.

[mrmage]

He sighs. "I have to- it sounds maybe childish or something, but I have to stay positive. If I can't fix it, then I can't, and like you said, it's only until I turn eighteen."

[eclipsi]

"That's probably the best attitude under the circumstances. I'm just a malcontent."

[mrmage]

"Yeah, I know. I love you."

[eclipsi]

Kiss.

[mrmage]

Kiss! "So, someone mentioned an egg hunt?"

[eclipsi]

And lo, there is an egg hunt!

[mrmage]

Wheee egg hunt! This is fun!

[catalexis]

Alex finds many eggs. Alex finds the most eggs.

[mrmage]

Sadde finds the least, but still has loads of fun, given that, you know, first time.

[eclipsi]

His egg count is perfectly respectable. Isabella finds as many eggs as she plans to eat and then stops.

[mrmage]

Ooh, right, there's the eating part of the egg hunt!

...well, he'll probably share with other people, he's not a super huge fan of sweets.

[eclipsi]

The eggs have different things inside so a lively round of trading (and accepting donations) ensues.

[mrmage]

Yup! Om not eating a whole lot and donating most of the candies nom!

[catalexis]

"Bella, your sub's broken, he doesn't like chocolate, you need to send him in for repairs."

[mrmage]

"I do like chocolate! It's nice."

[catalexis]

"You're like barely eating any."

[mrmage]

"It's just nice, it's not literally the tastiest thing ever," he shrugs.

[catalexis]

"Yeah, what is?"

[mrmage]

"Um. I dunno, I don't actually like food all that much, really."

[catalexis]

"You don't like food? I know you didn't literally never taste anything for two years but still aren't eclipsed supposed to be crazy about food."

[mrmage]

"I guess I developed the other way around? I got used to not eating a whole lot, so I... don't. I'm not picky, I'll eat whatever, and it doesn't serve any purposes other than making sure I don't feel hungry."
