The Talk

Sex conversation NO SEX INVOLVED

I was sitting on Bruno's bed today, watching my boyfriend as he took care of his rats.

My mind had been on some not so innocent dreams I have been having involving my boyfriend.

I wondered about how things may eventually progress. Who would be the one to start it? Knowing how shy and insecure Bruno could be, I would probably have to be the one to get the ball rolling on that.

How would he react if I told him, one day, that I was ready? Would he ever feel ready? Or would he shy away like he always does when in an uncomfortable situation?

I was startled out of my thoughts when Bruno sat down beside me.

"Are you okay amor? You're very quiet." He asked, sounding worried. I gave him a shy but reassuring smile.

"I'm okay, mi vida. Just thinking about something."

"What is it?" He asked. I looked at him, making a quick decision to just talk to him.

In truth I had been thinking about at least talking to him about these things for a while, I'm just not sure how to start.

"Just something I want to talk to you about. It's just a...difficult thing to talk about. Not bad though! Just...um...a bit uncomfortable." I trailed off.

"I'm here Cariño. Whatever you need, I am here." He replied as he took my hands. I smiled at him and gave him a gentle kiss.

"I love you, Bruno, more than you can imagine. And I know I want to be with you for a very long time. I also know, that there will come a day when we will want to take our relationship to the next level. So I thought we could talk about that."

"About being intimate with each other?" He asked blushing.

"Yes. I know that neither of us is ready for that. But I thought that if we had this conversation now, we'll be better prepared for when we decide that we're ready. I just want to make sure we're on the same page when we get to that point."

"What do you think we need to talk about exactly?" He asked, watching me curiously.

"Well, I don't expect to get this conversation completely done today, but I think we should talk about what we would want out of our relationship. Things like what we would feel comfortable with, things we would be willing or not willing to try. Some form of communication so we could tell the other person if we are uncomfortable."

"Those are good things to talk about. How about we start with the communication. Did you have something in mind?"

"Maybe. Remember when we were in grade school, we had that color system to indicate how we were doing that day?" I asked.

"Yeah. In class it was about our behavior."

"Yep. I thought we can do something similar. The instigator could ask 'What's your color?'. The other person can answer with Green if they are comfortable, yellow if they're uncertain but want to try and red if they don't want it."

"That makes sense. I like the sound of that. That way neither of us feels like we're being pushed into something we don't want." He replied, and I smiled. "How about what we feel comfortable with?"

"Would you like to start mi Vida? We can start with easier things."

"Like?"

"Do you like the idea of aftercare? That is cuddling after we're finished. Similar to what we do now? Just holding each other and gentle kisses and maybe running our fingers through each others' hair." I replied. He nodded, before looking down nervously. I frowned in concern.

"Are you okay Bruno? We can end the conversation here if you need to." I ask, gently. The last thing I want is to push him too far. He looked up, nervous and a little vulnerable.

"I uh...I wanted to talk to you about...you." He mumbled. I gave him an encouraging smile as he looked up at me. He took a deep breath, holding it for a moment. "I want to learn what makes you feel good."

"I don't really know yet what I like, that is something we can both figure out for ourselves later. I don't see myself as being too adventurous thought, when it comes to...that..." I replied. I felt myself blushing at that, and even Bruno looked a bit uncomfortable. I took a deep breath to calm myself and my wandering thoughts.

"Be honest mi vida." I began, and he looked up. "What's your color right now?"

"Um...y-yellow..." He replied.

"Thank you Cariño. Like I said earlier, we don't need to get through this whole conversation today. I'm quite happy with what we've talked about. This conversation has gone very well. I think this is a subject that we need to take our time on."

He nodded, and I guided the talk to lighter topics. We moved on to his rats and their lives.

Over the next few weeks we both initiated the intimacy conversation. We talked about what we liked, what made us feel good, and even talked about the possibility of children.

We both decided we wanted children. Bruno feels he would be a good Papa, if given the chance. I agree with him.

He did tell me about his fears when it came to having children of his own. He worries about the children being hated by the villagers because of him. He fears bringing his kids bad luck, or doing something that make them hate him.

I listen to him talk about his fears, and I even tell him about my fears. He admitted he was surprised that I was worried about not being a good Mama in the future.

We talked at length about the possibility of having children, and I assuaged him of most of his fears. We promise that if we have kids that we would go through everything together.

When the day finally came that we were ready to take the next step in our relationship, we were both comfortable and went into the step smoothly.

At the end of the night, we were both glad we had taken the time to talk everything out.

We both went to sleep that night in each other's arms. Feeling happy, satisfied and loved.

That just shows communication is key.
