Baptisms Of Fire

Eric & Cinderella 10/4

Eric couldn’t keep a smile off his face as he perceived that Cinderella looked very happy to be here and excited to do their scene. He walked over and sat on the couch next to her, bringing a small bag of his own. He ran his fingers lightly through her hair. “Good girl,” he praised, motif how she was managing to stay in position even though she looked like she wanted to move. “I have some things for you to wear,” he explained, pulling them one by one out of the bag. First he showed her the soft grey ears he had gotten.

Cinderella smiled softly at the praise, and enjoyed the feeling of his hand in her hair. It was like being petted, she thought to herself. When he mentioned he had some things for her to wear, Cinderella clapped her hands excitedly and then looked at the ears. “Oh, I love them!” she exclaimed and reached out a hand to touch them, but stopped herself short, and pulled her hand back. He never said she could, she probably shouldn’t just reach for things that weren’t hers, it was rude. 

Eric loved how excited she was about everything, it was refreshing and made him think that this would be easy. "I'm glad you like them," he replied with a big smile. "And thank you for not touching them without permission, but you may touch them if you like. They're your things for today." He reached in the bag again and pulled out two options for a tail, one with a plug and one that would simply clip onto her clothes. "I didn't know what you would be comfortable with," he explained. "You may choose whichever you want."

Eric & Cinderella 10/4

Eric was a little nervous, but determined not to let it show once Cinderella arrived. It had been a long time since he’d dommed anyone, and he wanted this to go well, especially since it was her first time trying pet play. He heard the knock on the door, and hurried to open it, smiling softly as he saw her kneeling there. “You may crawl in and kneel by the couch for right now,” he explained, pointing to where he had set a pillow on the floor. “I’ll take care of this and set it in the guest room,” he added as he picked up her bag and brought it inside.

Cinderella smiled softly as the door opened and she replied with a cheerful. “Hi!” then added a “Yes, Sir. Thank you.” and nodded her head as he explained her orders and picked up her bag. She crawled inside and tried not to look around too much, knowing that she didn’t want to get distracted and not follow the order, and that she would probably have time to explore things later. When she arrived at the pillow, Cinderella put her knees on it and knelt quietly, her hands rested in her lap and her head bowed as she waited to be told what to do next. She was hoping she wouldn’t have to kneel very long because she wasn’t sure how good she would be at that, she was too excited to want to be still.

A Chat | Gaston & Eric | 9.27

Eric sighed. “Yeah. I wanted to see more places too. I mean, I never got to go to France, for one.” He tried not to think about it too much, there were other, new places to explore. “Mostly privately,” he replied. “But we could talk about doing something public.”

“It’s very beautiful,” he said fondly, wishing he had some pictures of his home that he could show Eric. Gaston gave a nod as Eric spoke. Taking everything completely sexual off the table limited their points, and something told him after last time Peter would not be too happy with them doing bathroom play again. “I do enjoy taking the pup on walks, and playing outside, if the weather is nice. I have also taken human pups out to go to the bathroom outside, though there are other alternatives. I do hope at the very least, if we were to do such a scene, Peter would be okay with you wearing a tail plug.”

Eric smiled at the fondness in Gaston's voice as he talked about his home. "I would like all of those things," he said a little shyly. "especially playing outside. And I could go to the bathroom outside if it wasn't too public, I think." He shrugged. "I think he would be okay with that, I mean. It's not really sexual. But I guess we should probably wait a bit before we do another scene so that he doesn't feel insecure."

Eric smiled fondly as he thought about his home, though it was always tinged with sadness now because he wasn’t sure that he would ever be there again. “Massachusetts,” he replied softly. “Right by the ocean.” He perked up a bit at the discussion of what pet play things Gaston enjoyed. “We could try that sometime, sir, if you wanted,” he suggested, then chewed his lip, wondering how Peter would react. It was non sexual, anyway.

“I have never been, I had wanted to visit more places during my time in America,” he said, and wondered now if he would ever get that chance. So many things had changed since they had found themselves in this fairytale world. Gaston smiled softly at Eric. “I would like that. It is something that could very easily be non sexual in nature. Do you enjoy being in pupspace in public or only privately?”

Eric sighed. "Yeah. I wanted to see more places too. I mean, I never got to go to France, for one." He tried not to think about it too much, there were other, new places to explore. "Mostly privately," he replied. "But we could talk about doing something public."

Eric raised an eyebrow. “You’re from France, right?” He didn’t remember ever knowing much about Gaston’s life before he came to Grimm’s, and now, of course, France was further away than ever. “I don’t mind you asking at all, but I’m not completely sure yet myself, other than that we’re doing pet play.”

“Yes, Lyon, France specifically. It’s strange to think that I’ve been- or I was- in America for years already. Where are you from, before Grimm’s?” he asked, and looked over at the Switch. Gaston gave a soft smile. “Ah, that should be fun. I do enjoy pet play myself. I’m fond of obedience sort of things, training things, and various play activities. Most that I have done pet play with have been puppies. Do you need someone to run ideas off of?”

Eric smiled fondly as he thought about his home, though it was always tinged with sadness now because he wasn't sure that he would ever be there again. "Massachusetts," he replied softly. "Right by the ocean." He perked up a bit at the discussion of what pet play things Gaston enjoyed.

Eric nodded, smiling. “I keep meaning to go to the market,” he commented, then his eyes lit up, remembering something. “Oh! I meant to tell you–partly because of your encouragement, asking about if I dommed and stuff, I’m doing a scene on Tuesday where I will be!” He was really excited to be doing more scenes and branching out in terms of the people he talked to and hung out with.

“It is very nice, I go quite often. It reminds me of home, in a way,” he commented, remembering how they often would go and get fresh ingredients for whatever they would be eating that day, not overly processed things days or weeks in advance. “That’s good, I do hope you enjoy yourself,” he said, and smiled at Eric’s obvious enthusiasm. “If you do not mind my asking, what will you be doing?”

Eric raised an eyebrow. "You're from France, right?" He didn't remember ever knowing much about Gaston's life before he came to Grimm's, and now, of course, France was further away than ever. "I don't mind you asking at all, but I'm not completely sure yet myself, other than that we're doing pet play."

“You always were to me and are. I’ve always loved how you look when you’re in those headspaces. Makes my heart beat so fast.” Peter kissing him once more. “Not sure, just love flying with you and I thought I’d ask you what you think we could add to it? I mean sensory could be fun. Take away your sight maybe.”

Eric smiled. "Maybe we can do a scene soon then where I'm domming someone but you're there, if we can find a sub that would be willing." He raised an eyebrow, heart beating a little faster at the suggestion. "It would push me a little to take away my sight while I was flying, but I trust you. We could do that."

A Chat | Gaston & Eric | 9.27

Eric relaxed into the touch, knowing that Gaston probably wasn’t very surprised. “That’s fine, sir,” he said hastily. He certainly didn’t want Gaston to feel like he couldn’t take care of his own needs while Eric was there. “Truthfully, it doesn’t make me uncomfortable in the slightest.” He perked up a little. “What should I cook for you today, sir?”

Gaston gave a nod as Eric said it was alright to do so, he had no expected the Switch to have issue with it. Truthfully, if it were up to Gaston, he would have no issue masturbating in front of Eric. He was very much an exhibitionist and knowing that someone was watching would please him, but he couldn’t see Peter being okay with such. “I was thinking a chicken stir fry. I picked up some nice vegetables at the market earlier.”

Eric nodded, smiling. "I keep meaning to go to the market," he commented, then his eyes lit up, remembering something. "Oh! I meant to tell you--partly because of your encouragement, asking about if I dommed and stuff, I'm doing a scene on Tuesday where I will be!" He was really excited to be doing more scenes and branching out in terms of the people he talked to and hung out with.

A Chat | Gaston & Eric | 9.27

Eric hung his head a bit, knowing that Gaston would be disappointed with the answer. “I can’t, sir; I’m sorry,” he explained. “Peter’s willing to work with me on that eventually, but just not right now. I won’t be uncomfortable at all if you get aroused,” he explained. “I just can’t help you with it.”

Gaston saw Eric’s head fall and listened to the Switch speak, his hand moved to run through the other’s hair in what he hoped was a comforting gesture. “It’s alright, there’s no need to apologize.” The Dom’s voice was calm, no hint of anger in his tone, because he was not mad. It was the response he had expected, even if it were not the response he wanted. Still, a limit was a limit, and something he would always respect. “Very well. If I so desire to take care of it myself, I may send you into the living room.”

Eric relaxed into the touch, knowing that Gaston probably wasn't very surprised. "That's fine, sir," he said hastily. He certainly didn't want Gaston to feel like he couldn't take care of his own needs while Eric was there. "Truthfully, it doesn't make me uncomfortable in the slightest." He perked up a little. "What should I cook for you today, sir?"

Eric was relieved and pleased that Gaston had listened to him fully and was accepting what he was saying. “Thank you, sir. It’s really nice to know that I have someone that would help me.” He really didn’t think he would ever need it, but that didn’t stop him from appreciating the possibility. “You’re a great Dom and a good friend,” he added.

“You’re welcome, and thank you,” Gaston replied. He knew he was a great Dom, he wouldn’t settle for being anything less. Gaston strove for perfection in all that he did. Satisfied that, that part of the discussion was over, he decided to move on. It wouldn’t matter for the moment, but he wanted to know what had been decided. “What is the decision on bringing me to orgasm after the massage?”

Eric hung his head a bit, knowing that Gaston would be disappointed with the answer. "I can't, sir; I'm sorry," he explained. "Peter's willing to work with me on that eventually, but just not right now. I won't be uncomfortable at all if you get aroused," he explained. "I just can't help you with it."

A Chat | Gaston & Eric | 9.27

Eric sighed softly, not sure how to respond at first. “He’s certainly a very different Dom than you are, sir. But…with all respect, and I really, really do appreciate you looking out for me…I like to think that if something was wrong, I would be able to recognize it and–well, what I’m trying to say is that our relationship is very consensual, even if we have our disagreements or differences like any couple.” He smiled up at the other man, hoping that he had reassured him. “I enjoy your company too.”

Gaston listened quietly as Eric spoke, his eyes on the Switch, giving him his full attention. “Very well,” he said in reply once Eric had finished speaking. If the other had no issue with how he was being treated, the Dom was not going to push the topic. Eric was a grown man, and while Gaston would stand up for any switch or submissive whom he thought was being abused or mistreated, he could not do much if Eric had no issues with it. He had spoken his peace, and that would be that.”If you ever do wish to talk about anything, know that you can always come to me.”

Eric was relieved and pleased that Gaston had listened to him fully and was accepting what he was saying. "Thank you, sir. It's really nice to know that I have someone that would help me." He really didn't think he would ever need it, but that didn't stop him from appreciating the possibility. "You're a great Dom and a good friend," he added.

A Chat | Gaston & Eric | 9.27

Eric read through the messages that Gaston showed him, trying to keep his face composed as he read. Finally he looked up at the Dom. “I appreciate you showing me the messages so that I could see them for myself,” he said. “And I really, truly appreciate that for whatever reason you like me enough to try and look out for me,” he added genuinely. “I won’t deny that Peter and my relationship is changing now that it’s just the two of us, and we have our differences, and our issues to work out.” He swallowed deeply. “But I love him, and that will never change.”

“You’re welcome,” he replied and looked down at the Switch. Gaston felt it was important for Eric to read it, to have all the facts, and not just what he was told by Peter. “I do. We may not have talked much since were were roommates on that one trip, but I do enjoy your company. You’re a good person, a good Switch,” he stated, not adding and you deserve better, though it was on his mind. “I know how that can be, it just concerns me when two people are not on the same page particularly where D/s things are concerned, and I won’t lie, I don’t think Peter is a very good Dom. I never have, though I tried to not let my feelings interfere with the facts. I’m glad that you love him, I just want to be sure everything going on in the relationship is consensual and agreed upon.”

Eric sighed softly, not sure how to respond at first. "He's certainly a very different Dom than you are, sir. But...with all respect, and I really, really do appreciate you looking out for me...I like to think that if something was wrong, I would be able to recognize it and--well, what I'm trying to say is that our relationship is very consensual, even if we have our disagreements or differences like any couple." He smiled up at the other man, hoping that he had reassured him. "I enjoy your company too."

Peter smiled, thus was why he loved Eric so much. He knew what to say and how to say it. He knew how to be more logical. “I don’t know what I’d do without you. Your my anchor…which is fitting because you are like a sea king.” Teasing and kissing him softly. “I could never leave you either. No one can change how I feel about you. So do you feel like scening soon?”

Eric grinned, kissing Peter back, his arm winding around the other’s back. “Nobody can change how I feel about you, either. Yeah, I would like that, and by the way, I’m going to do pet play with Cinderella next week, where I’m domming. Just so you know.”

Peter hummed. “Hmm I always liked watching you be more dominant with Charlie. You both were so pretty.” he grinned, faking biting his neck. “But sounds good to me.” He whispered, pecking his lips once more. “So for a scene, how would you feel about flying during it?”

Eric grinned. "Yeah, we were pretty, weren't we?" He raised an eyebrow at the question. "I hadn't ever thought about it before to be honest, but I'm pretty sure I would be fine with it. What else would it involve?"

A Chat | Gaston & Eric | 9.27

Eric knocked on Gaston’s door, anticipation heavy in his gut. He had been looking forward to this–even if they weren’t doing a proper scene, he hoped that serving Gaston would bring him some of the peace and relaxation that he had felt after their scene. At the same time, he hated how upset Peter had gotten and was at a loss for how to show his fiancé that he didn’t need to be insecure about Eric. “Hello sir,” he greeted Gaston with a small, though genuine, smile and went to kneel on the pillow indicated. “Yes, sir,” he said quietly, pretty sure he knew what they would be discussing.

Once Eric entered the room, Gaston closed the door behind him, then made his way over to the couch. He sat down, his posture relaxed, and moved to pick up the laptop. “I spoke with Peter the other day,” he said as he looked at the screen and pulled up the messages that had been exchanged between the two Dominants. “And I wanted to show you what we discussed. Not in the form of summarizing it for you, but actually allowing you to read what was said. I want you to see how it went from both sides.” Gaston handed the laptop to Eric, then leaned back against the couch. 

Eric read through the messages that Gaston showed him, trying to keep his face composed as he read. Finally he looked up at the Dom. "I appreciate you showing me the messages so that I could see them for myself," he said. "And I really, truly appreciate that for whatever reason you like me enough to try and look out for me," he added genuinely. "I won't deny that Peter and my relationship is changing now that it's just the two of us, and we have our differences, and our issues to work out." He swallowed deeply. "But I love him, and that will never change."

Eric nodded. “I understand,” he replied. He knew how Peter felt because he didn’t know what he would do if he lost him either. “I will work with you, I promise. That’s all I want too,” he said a little sadly. His eyes raised as Peter requested that. He wasn’t sure how he felt about the request. “Not really sir, I mean…what do you mean it’s not safe for me to talk to him about it?”

Peter worked to find the right words for what he meant. “ I mean was him calling me an abuser and thinking that I’m abusive to you'I don’t think he’s a good person to talk to. since he doesn’t know really what’s going on with us or how we work. I feel like he’s going to try and fill your head with ideas that just aren’t right. I know you’re not going to believe him because you really know me but still I just don’t think it’s any of his business to know what we do and how we work does that make more sense?”

Eric frowned. “Yes, it makes more sense, but…don’t you think I should try and explain it to him then? I mean; if I tell him that you’ve ordered me not to talk to him about us he’s definitely not going to get a good impression and he might go to the headmasters or something. He’s a really nice guy, I’m sure if I just clear things up it’ll be fine.”

“ it’s good to know he’s nice to you but the impression he leaves with me is he’s not so nice.” Peter said Eric had a point but it still left him wondering something, “ okay so you defend us I do think that’s a better idea but what if he doesn’t believe you think they’ve brainwashed you into saying that that I’m abusing you into saying that what are you going to do then?”

Eric sighed. "I'm sorry, I don't know why, I guess you guys just got off on a bad foot somehow." He bit his lip. "I don't think I seem very brainwashed. I'll tell him the truth; that especially after our other partner left us, we have some stuff to work out but that we're adults and that's between us and I'm fine, and that I won't ever leave you because I love you."
