The Devil In I

To the contrary, I think you’ll find my insouciance to be refreshingly bracing. Good guess, though. Tribe Loony Moony all the way, here.

No, I won't. Now, answer my question. Are you a submissive or a switch?

And now you’re profiling me, Sir. I’ll have you know, you can always count on me for an honest answer in class. I’m a delightful addition to any lecture.

It's not what you do that'll cause trouble, it's your attitude. But, I have to ask, are you a submissive or a switch? I'd ask if you were Dominant but I have my doubts.

That’s a lot of blanket negativism. Personally I prefer not to think of it terms of lacking something so much as an endearing abundance of free-spirited charm.

Free-spirited charm would be lovely...if it's for a Switch. I'll keep my eye on you, though. You seem to be one to cause trouble in my class.

Still having a hard time imagining actually wanting to pursue that as a career. To each their own, though, and if you get a kick out of it, more power to ya.

I did want to pursue a career in it because I know obedience doesn't come just from a firm grip but from a psychological perspective. I'm sure you'll be in my class soon, though. You seem to be lacking in a bit of...structure.

Jesus. Obedience instructor. How’d you get into that gig?

Like any person who applies for a position in the career of their choice. I sent in my resumé, had an interview, got hired, and here I am teaching Obedience to students who obviously lack it. I have yet to see you in my class and I know I will one day. Tell me your name.

Your approach to breakfast is impressively strategic.

As the professor for Obedience, I would hope people would see me as such. I keep everything structured and on a schedule, but breaking it from time to time on my own is beneficial.

I was only teasing. Are you allowed to drink on the job? Assuming you work here, of course.

Well, I do work here but I'm sitting at home. I would never drink before five in the afternoon, though. Who might you be, though?

Coffee is bad for you. 

Many things are bad for someone. But, even then, it's one cup. It can't hurt. Though, I suppose I could have a mimosa to make things interesting.

Won’t be a slow morning for long with all that fiber, hombre.

I do know how fiber works but it hasn't exactly caused me to go faster than normal. I did have a banana to balance that out, though.

Tidy up | Gray&Collin

What was he doing? Going to see a student in his room. Had he gone mad? Possibly, but Collin was determined to help him in any which way possible. Making his way towards the student dorms, he ran a hand through his hair before sighing heavily in nervousness. When was the last time he even had a massage? Almost a year ago. 'No, don't you dare go down that path, Collin Payne. You are an educated, well-mannered man. You can get past this and learn to move on.' He scolded himself mentally, looking to his watch as he stood in front of the dorms. He had been here for a bit, trying to muster up the courage to go in. Looking at his reflection in the glass door, he made his way inside before stepping out again. 'Stop being a fucking pussy! Get in there!' He scolded himself once more, nodding firmly once and finally going inside.

Lucky you. Better than you’re entire life being dictated by a man with enough money to claim himself king of whatever the fuck lawfirm he works for. I know we don’t particularity live in a work of half-measures. I mean, most people. Switches have the fine privilege of toeing the line between submissive and domination. Who said you can’t have two lovers? One for either desire? Or find someone who works both till your satisfied? Sex should be..fun and mind blowing. If you’re not getting that or some part of you is’nt complete. Well, then it’s rather pointless. Sir. You should have better than a frustrating mess. It’s unique. I like that. Makes me smile. 

And that's where you and I share similar feelings towards our parentals. My mothers dictated my position in society by breeding me to be a submissive. I am not happy with this since it contradicts my own instincts. You, at least, have the option to rebel. If I did, my mothers would disown me. I love them, though, which is saddening in it's own right. We do have that privilege, Gray, though I'm not sure it'll work out to our own advantage. Hopefully the both of us will find claims that are to our liking and are flexible. As for me? I'm not one to have multiple lovers in a relationship. Just one is perfect for me, really. Does it really make you smile? Hopefully it's not a smile that indicates sinister behavior, haha!

It shows. I mean, not in a bad way. Not really. Just sort of use to one thing and then…well, evidently you start to see the differences. There’s no way to put that without sounding like I’m lording my money over you. Of course Sir. I give good obedience. Hey, not saying I don’t see the appeal. Slender body, easy to throw around. Hell, I’d put you over my lap but I’m just aware enough to know that body type doesn’t mean shit when it comes to this sort of things.  I really do rather enjoy that name. 

Oh, I'd never assume someone was flaunting their riches in my direction. I've got my own means of income so I'm not worried about societal status due to economic influx. That's what I like to hear, pet. I know you can see the appeal, as I see it in myself...which is also why it bothers me. I'm a conflicted man with a need to dominate as well as be dominated. One is instinct and the other is conditioned reaction. It's nothing but a frustrating mess. No matter, I'll be fine. I'm pleased to hear you enjoy my new little nickname for you.

I have not and you caught me in that. I've only ever been to public school and then here...as well as other colleges to further my education. I'm sure I will love it because that shows obedience. But, you're absolutely right in your accusations, Gray. They want me to be the one to rest my head in their lap or turn me over their knee. I wish I could tell them exactly what you've said but I would end up forced to my knees and wriggling out of their grip. And I'm glad you couldn't forget, petit garçon.

And what? You’re not going to give me some spiel about how I should call you that because of the respect of your position? Or some such? Well, Mr. Jones is my father. That’s a terrible thing to compare me too. I’m much more fun. Well, you’re certainly not a mountain sized guy. You’re not..what’s the polite way of putting this. Thick? That says, size is often not a indicator of domination. Hm, if you’d like? Can’t say I wouldn’t mind wandering a museum or two with some pleasant company on my arm. 

No, why should I? You're a switch like myself as well as the fact that you're not my student. Once you are, though, I'd expect to be called Sir or Professor from then on...even after you're finished with my class. I would never compare you, truly, to your father nor anyone's parent for that matter. I know I'm not thick, I've never been and never will be. My bone structure and metabolism don't exactly let me build much of a body. Not that I want to look like a mountain man or anything. I believe that as well, that size doesn't determine domination but so many people do have such a criteria. They don't feel a small man such as myself has the capability of a Dominant. Or you on my arm, Gray. Don't forget that.
