#switch rhett

First and foremost, they are best friends and business partners. They have lived their whole lives as equals, so if they were to engage in a kink relationship, they would need balance there, neither one of them ever being fully in control of the other unless they're in a scene. They have tight schedules and busy lives, so all of their scenes would be agreed upon beforehand and planned out. They would agree on who is dom for that night so both could be prepared and ready for that head space, especially because of the nature of competition on the show, they don't know who might have won a game or something that afternoon before a scene and that doesn't need to influence their time together.

Rhett McLaughlin is a big man. He can command a room and a conversation and he often takes care of Link and watches out for him. He would be a good dom and he knows Link like no one else. He's a counter to Link's eagerness and bratty nature. He can easily control him because of his size and let's be honest, he's the most likely person for Link to listen to at all. But Rhett has mentioned before how he's always been trying to shrink and be small and not take up space. He talked about how he'd love to be cuddled buy a huge guy. He trusts Link with everything and could easily give up control to him. Link has a big presence and he would find great ways to make Rhett feel small. Thus, Rhett would make a good dom and sub for Link.

Link Neal is baby and bratty and mischievous and he's thin and small compared to Rhett, easily manhandled. It's difficult for him to give up control, but if anyone can get it from him, it's Rhett. He wants to be told to shut up, he loves to be edged. He wants to be hit and tied up and for everything to be out of his hands for once. He trusts Rhett no matter what and he'd be a perfect sub for him sometimes and an insufferable one other times. But Link also loves control. He would know Rhett's body even better than his own, touching him in exactly the right places to get him riled up or to keep him from coming. He would have every aspect of a scene prepared to the last detail. He would feel anxious because kink can be intense, but the moment he's in dom head space, all the anxieties melt away and he knows what he's doing, knows exactly how to make Rhett feel amazing and keep him in line, though Rhett is rarely bratty. This is an area where he knows he can excel. He has full control over every aspect of it, and though it very rarely comes into play in his daily life, he loves when Rhett surrenders control to him.

They are great at making each other feel good and giving each other exactly what they need no matter who is dom or who is sub. It subtracts the push and pull of their every day relationship and lets them be there for each other. But the key is, it has to be a switch dynamic. Sometimes Link needs control and Rhett needs to feel small. Sometimes Link needs to surrender and Rhett needs that authority. It's a measured push and pull.
