Nova Lux's POV

"What brought this on?" I ask.

He shrugs.

"I don't know. But I do know how it made me feel" he says.

"And you want to explore it?" I ask.

I'm still in shock.

I can usually tell when a man is eager or has been eager for some time to try this sort of thing.

But Sora?!

I'm shocked to say the least.

I would have never guessed it.

But I guess curiosity comes in different forms.

I stand up, pacing in front of him and he watches me.

"Well? What d'you-?" He starts, but I hold my hand up and he's immediately quiet, waiting on my next word.

How did I never fucking notice?!

"I'm thinking" I explain.

He nods.

Then I come to a decision.

"Sora, you're a very attractive individual, but I don't know if-"

He stands up, towering over me.

"What are you doing?" I ask him.

He undoes the bathrobe and drops it on the couch, leaving him once again, in just the sweatpants looking into my face as he does so.

He gets on his knees, maintaining eye contact and he looks up at me.

"What do you want me to do to change your mind?" He asks.

My heart plummets.

His voice is soft and his eyes are eager.

I look at him kneeling in front of me.

He's serious about this.

He's so serious.

I walk around his lower frame.

I wait until I'm behind him and I lean down to speak in his ear.

"What did I tell you about your posture Itsuki?" I ask, almost whispering to him.

He shivers lightly and immediately straightens his back.

I watch his muscles go taut with anticipation.

I almost want to run my fingers down them.

I chuckle to myself, remembering what happened last time I did that.

He thought I wouldn't notice, but I did.

His position is almost perfect.

I lower myself down and take his hands, facing them palms up on his thighs.

Then I straighten myself up, holding his jaw and making him look at me straight in my eyes.

I never even noticed how dark and brown his eyes are.

I'm noticing a lot of new things today.

"Perfect" I say, before I can stop myself.

His lips part slightly.

I let go of his face and he is still staring after me.

"Fine" I say.

He snaps out of his daze.

"What?" He asks.

"Fine. I'll let you try" I say, knowing I'm too deep in now.

His face lights up with a smile and I look away, not wanting to get sucked in.

I sit on my couch, opposite, leaving him kneeling there.

I take a deep breath.

"Come and sit with me" I tell him.

He immediately gets up and sits with me.

"If we're going to do this, we're going to do it right." I say.

He nods.

"I'm going to send you a list. I need you to fill it out before anything." I say.

I can't believe I'm agreeing to this?!

"What kind of list?" He asks me.

"A bdsm test. It's going to tell me exactly what you're into and what I should expect from you" I tell him.

"Okay. And will we go over it together?" He asks.

I shrug.

"That's up to you. I'll go over it once by myself in private and then I'll go over it again with you provided you don't shit yourself after looking at the list." I say.

He chuckles.

"How bad can it be?" He asks.

I hold in a laugh.

He's in for a shock.

"If we're compatible, then we'll talk about boundaries and safe words. A safe word is a random and unexpected word, used during play, to make things come to an immediate stop. There is no judgment. No disappointment. And no pressure." I tell him.

He nods.

"As soon as you say your safe word, or when the play ends by itself, aftercare is mandatory. The list will include aftercare options, but I'll always ask.

He nods.

"What happens, if I change my mind about the options on the list?" He asks.

"Then always feel free to discuss it with me. Comfort for both of us is necessary" I say simply.

"Okay it makes sense" he responds.

"And what about you? Do you need aftercare?" He asks.

I'm silent.

I've never been asked that before.

Only one person has even ever volunteered to give me aftercare.

But that was a long time ago.

"I- I suppose aftercare for me is important, but you're is my priority, given the... dynamic" I say, shrugging and ignoring the fact that this is the first time I've ever cracked like this when answering a question.

"Are you ready for me to continue?" I ask.

He nods his head.

"Let's make this very clear." I start.

"This, is not a boyfriend and girlfriend type of relationship. It's a relationship of sorts, but not that kind" I say.

"That's fine" he says in response.

"Good" I say.

He smiles.

He seems happy to receive praise.

I'll have to take note of it.

"Just for the sake of knowledge... what would you call this?" He asks, pointing between the pair of us.

"I am a dom" I respond.

"And for the sake of experimenting on your part, you are a sub. You are not my sub and I am not your dom. you're free to do what you like with who you like. Just get tested regularly and let me know" I say.

He crinkles his nose as if he has something to say, but then he decides against it.

"What if I want you to be my dom?" He asks.

My heart races a mile a minute.

What is he suggesting?

I instantly shrug it off.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get there." I say.

I mentally kick myself.

I should cut out even the thought!

But I can't help but wonder myself.

We talk a little bit more about it until it gets to time for me to be waking up.

I don't think me and Sora could train today if I dragged him out of the door myself.

I'm exhausted from staying awake.

I see light outside, so I give him his dry clothes and I send him away, promising to give him the list the next time we meet.

I don't have any lessons with the kids today, so I crash right back to bed.

It usually takes me a while to sleep.

But this time, as soon as my head touches the pillow...

I'm out.
