Josh turns onto his back, waking gently on his own. Not by the sunlight, nor by anyone or an alarm clock or his phone. None of that. He stretches out, rubbing his eyes. He's sore but well-rested. Josh rolls over to check his phone but what he grabs is not a phone. It's the dildo from last night. Josh eyes it, then looks up, vision still drowsy. He's not in his own bed; he's in the bed in Dan's playroom. He must've fallen asleep here last night after their last round of rough play. A pretty nasty spanking, if Josh remembers correctly. He sits up and grabs his boxer-briefs off the floor, pulling them on before wandering downstairs.
Josh finds Dan in front of his wall-mounted wide screen television, watching the news and eating a bowl of cereal in his boxers and a t-shirt. Josh's t-shirt. Josh has to admit that seeing Dan in such a casual setting is pretty wonderful in and of itself, but the fact that Dan is wearing his shirt just makes his stomach feel kind of funny. In a good way though.
“Josh,” Dan says, “why are you still wearing the cuffs?”
Josh looks down at his wrists. Oh yeah. He'd never actually taken them off. He unbuckles the leather and sits them on the steps, going over to the couch to sit with Dan. Josh usually isn't a fan of the news but he can lean on Dan's shoulder to watch so that makes it worth it. The news is talking about the Olympics coming up and Dan huffs.
“That's gonna fuck up traffic so bad,” he sighs, taking a mouthful of cereal.
Josh draws his feet up underneath him and he's all curled up on Dan's shoulder now. Dan notices and pulls Josh closer, kind of into his lap.
“Did my puppy sleep well?” he asks softly. Josh nods. “Good.” Kiss on the forehead. “You were so tired last night that you fell asleep on me when I was telling you about some of the bondage devices I have but I couldn't bear to wake you up and take you home so I let you sleep there.” Dan pets Josh's hair and Josh smiles.
“Thank you,” he says softly. Josh sighs, resting his head against Dan's chest. “You're the best master ever.” He giggles.
“Josh,” Dan says, lifting Josh's chin. Josh blushes. “I don't really want this to be a full time BDSM relationship.” Josh's face drops a bit and Dan quickly shakes his head. “No, not like that. I mean, I'd rather it be a regular relationship with BDSM involved rather than just a Master and pet thing.”
“Really?” Josh asks, sitting up. Dan nods and Josh smiles, kissing Dan full on the lips. “I'd love that. A relationship.”
“Consider it done then,” Dan says. He gives Josh's bum a soft rub and when Josh winces Dan sighs. “I gave you a rough one last night didn't I.”
“Yeah,” Josh says softly. He gives Dan more kisses. “But it's okay.” Kiss. “Because it's you.” Kiss. “And you're my boyfriend now.” Kiss. “And I liked it.” Kiss.
Dan pushes Josh's hair from his eyes. “My puppy needs a haircut,” he says.
“I like my hair longer like this,” Josh says. Dan smiles, playing with a particularly long lock.
