☆ what doesn't kill you ☆

Obviously not right now. Just some knowledge to store away for later.

Consider it stored.

I mean, it’s something you should experience at least once. I’m sure you could get the same result with other instruments though.

I’m...not sure I’m ready for that.

By not on you, I meant that, ideally, the tongue ring would belong to someone else. They’re great for stimulation.

What? Non-pierced people need not apply?

A tongue ring should be in the equation somewhere. Doesn’t necessarily have to be on you.

Are piercings required in this scenario? Aren’t my ears enough?

I think that they would probably be too repressed to go with the name. They can rebrand on the reunion tour after they’ve melted their purity rings into tongue rings.

Oh, are tongue rings the next step in this unrepressing journey?

You are and you’re doing great. A few weeks ago, you wouldn’t have even said the phrase “repressed desires”. Which, by the way, would be a great band name.

For what, a Christian girl group?

And now you’re getting practice unrepressing them. I think that’s a great place to start.

I thought I was doing that.

Ew. How have you kept from punching him?

Have we not already established that I’ve got practice in repressing my desires?

Who knew I would manage to leave the world before Elon Musk did? Please make sure to rub it in his little naked mole rat face.

I’ll be sure to. He usually comes to my parents’ parties.

Honestly, what a way to leave this world though.

At the rate you’re going, you are going to leave this world. 

You will be if you’re smothering me, whether that’s your intention or not. The last sound you’ll hear from my lips is a loud ohhh.

Oh my god.

But it’s so much easier to say than erotic asphyxiation.

And that would be inaccurate, because I’m not doing anything erotic with you.

You weren’t threatening to spank me. I was just taking what I was offered.

Technically, I wasn’t threatening to choke you either. Smothering is a completely different act. 

That was a joke.

I don’t actually love singing that much.

We’re adding choking now? Was the spanking not enough? 

At least I would die doing two things I love. Singing and getting choked.

Carter!

I am glad that you finally recognize that. It is my world. Welcome to it.

I’m going to smother you before the ball drops.

I like to shake my ass, thank you very much. But fine. I will put on the show and you can be a casual observer to my excellence.

Yeah, yeah. It’s your world and we’re all just living in it.
