Gothic: Cashton

Dedication: @punkc0cks
Calum gazes at himself in a mirror, applying dark rings of eyeliner around his once soft brown eyes. It seems that in the less than 24 hours he's been with Ashton, he's felt himself darken, and he likes it. Normally, Calum isn't one for make up. Its itchy and smudges too easily, but tonight it feels right. The black circles around his eyes match his black mood. Ashton peeks his head into Calum's tent and observes the tan boy standing before him in barely anything. Hes absolutely stunning, and Ashton almost wants to tell him to put more clothes on so no one else can see so much of his beauty. Calum glances at Ashton in the mirror and sets down his eyeliner.

"I can see you, daddy" he says with a sigh. Ashton clears his throat and enters the tent fully, taking Calum by the hips from behind.

"You look beautiful, baby boy" he whispers, allowing his tongue to graze over the skin just below Calum's ear. Calum shivers and turns to face Ashton. Ashton gasps and cups Calum's cheeks.

"Wh-what did you do to your pretty eyes?" He asks. Calum flutters his eyelashes and cocks his head to the side.

"What do you mean, Daddy?" He asks. Ashton runs a thumb near Calum's eye and frowns

"All this black shit. Why's it there?" He asks. Calum smiles rather eerily.

"It makes me look pretty. Plus it matches how I feel." He explains. Ashton feels rather uneasy, but ignores it.

"How does black match how you feel? Do you feel sad? Angry?" He half expects Calum to say yes, but he knows he has almost full control of Calum's emotions. Calum pulls away and looks in the mirror, adding more black to the already thick rings of it.

"I feel dark." He replies simply. Ashton frowns.

"I want you to take it off" he commands. Calum pouts up at him.

"But Daddy I like it" he whines. Ashton raises a hand to slap him, but Calum grabs his wrist.

"I'm taking it off." Ashton allows his hand to come to rest at his side, and Calum turns to the mirror, beginning to wipe the eyeliner from around his eyes. He wishes he could be the one doing the slapping this time. Ashton taps Calum's bum lightly as he finishes.

"Better?" Calum asks. Ashton strokes Calum's hair back slightly.

"Much better. Now come on with Daddy the shows gonna begin soon, and you need to help me prepare the freaks" he says. Calum allows Ashton to lead him out of the tent. One thing Calum learned was that there had been an entirely different tent the night he was taken dedicated to 'freaks'. When Ashton told him, he expected a faux bearded lady, maybe someone extremely tall, but what he saw was completely different. There was a family that Ashton gave lizard qualities, the little girl, Critter, who had cat parts, a person with two heads, one male and one female who sang duets. It kind of makes Calum sick that they were all normal people before Ashton changed them. He still wonders what else Ashton can do, but he doesn't dare ask. He feels darker, that he knows, and sometimes he feels like he could tear Ashton's throat out and not think twice about leaving him on the ground to bleed out and die, but most of the time he fears him.

Ashton leads Calum to the main tent that's already filled with audience members. Calum shivers. Its his first performance. Ashton slides something around his neck, and Calum hears a click. Ashton steps away and chuckles.

"There you go, my little pet" he murmurs. Calum looks down slightly to see Ashton has clipped a collar and leash around his neck.

"Is this some kinky sex stuff?" Calum asks. Ashton slaps Calum's face.

"Don't sass me!" He shouts. Calum recoils.

"I'm sorry, Daddy" he whispers. Ashton kisses the cheek that he slapped, and it seems to ease the sting.

"Alright. I'm sorry I slapped you, but Calum you need to learn to behave" he explains. Calum nods.

"I'll behave, Daddy I promise" he assures eagerly. Ashton nods and pats Calum's head.

"Ready to make your debut?" He asks. Calum nods quickly. Ashton smiles down at his little pet and straightens his shoulders, adjusting his dress jacket to his liking. Showtime he thinks to himself before gripping Calum's hand and making them both appear in the center of the circle, Calum suddenly on his hands and knees.

"Good evening" he says, making his voice amplify with ease. Calum feels himself losing control as Ashton is in his most powerful state here in front of the people. The attention feeds his demons, making them grow and latch on to whatever and whoever they please. Calum wraps his arms around Ashton's leg, leaning his head against him submissively. Ashton grins. "My name is Freakshow, and this is my little pet" he announces. The crowd explodes with applauds. Ashton feeds on it. He raises his cane in the air, much like he had the night he took Calum. "Prepare for the show of your lifetime!" He shouts. He rotates in order to view the entire crowd fully. He throws the can into the air and it disappears in smoke. Calum feels a burning pain at his backsid, and looks back to see a shaggy Brown tail sprouting from him. Ashton raises him into the air without touching him.

"My lovely pet has decided to put a little show on for you" he announces. Calum holds back screams as he feels the structure of his bones changing and reforming. Color begins to fade to grey and black, and Calum looks down at himself to see paws instead of hands and feet. Ashton has turned him into a dog! He looks down at Ashton from where he's still floating above him. Ashton gives him a smirk and gestures to the now complete dog above him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, observe my obidient little doggy" he shouts. The crowd goes completely nuts. Ashton allows Calum back to the ground, and forces Calum to sit by his feet. Calum barks and Ashton chuckles.

"My pet says enjoy the show" with that, they both disappear. They reappear backstage, Calum back to his normal human self.

"Wh-what? Why did you do that to me? That fucking hurt!" Calum shouts. Ashton yanks harshly on Calum's hair.

"Don't raise your voice at me! I made you special!" Ashton roars.

"I'm not special I'm a freak!" Calum shouts back. Ashton's eyes glow with pure rage.

"If you're going to act like a freak you'll be treated like a freak!" Ashton says, grabbing Calum's hair again. He drags him out of the tent to a different one where the freaks await their turn at public humiliation. He opens a cage and throws Calum inside against something warm.

"You'll come out when you can behave!"

I'm gonna do something new with dedications.

What's in the cage with Calum?

Closest answer gets a dedication!
