Forge post

[ostro_goth]

It's still early, but in the morning light, the sound of hammer on anvil is ringing out from the forge.

Teja, after all, is Teja; and in case of any trouble, he starts making blades. There is much trouble among those dear to him, now, and Teja is making a dagger -- fine and thin, of folded steel, pliable and deadly.

The cats are outside, chasing a snarling demonic rabbit between them.-

"So he likes pain. Or at least likes the giver enough to deal with it," Charlie shrugs. He doesn't like pain, and never particularly has, either giving or taking. "you can put yours in, remember how I showed you?"

Charlie likes the new one, the white gold is much brighter than the silver he had in before, against his stomach. And he's starting to tan, being outside in the summer sun. "I wonder how they'll manage being a couple, if they're both immortal. Maybe it's open."

Teja unstraps the top part of his leather forge apron, and allows it to drop down, and then gently takes out the simple barbell he has in it.

"Perhaps open to others, indeed," he says, "or open-ended: - perhaps they are not trying for the future, just for now. 'Now' would be long, for an immortal, and the future endless."

Pause, while he fetches his own piece from a little box, on the shelf above the workbench: it is a captive bead ring, of white gold also, with the dragon diamond set into the bead part.

"It looks lovely upon your skin," he says to Charlie. "It is so lovely to see one's gift upon the body of the beloved; no matter what the symbolism of collars, part of their pleasure would be simply that."

"Open relationships work for some people," he shrugs. "The captive ball looks good on you, Teja," Charlie says softly, enjoying the idea of matching jewelry, even body piercings.

"Is your piercing healing up alright?"

[ostro_goth]

"I would not wish to be open: I am yours, completely and ever!" Teja says. "But I have learned, by now, how different people may be."

Pause.

"And yes, it is -- see! It does not hurt any longer, unless pulled wrong; and most of the time, it is pulled just right."

Charlie smiles crookedly. "Kinky."

He tugs just a little at the ring in his nipple, amused at the reaction.

[ostro_goth]

"Is it kinky if I feel no pain at it, only a sweet, tugging pleasure?" Teja says, smiling.

[licensed-pro.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah," he answers, laughing. "But it's cute."

[ostro_goth]

"Cute?" Teja says. "I?"

[licensed-pro.livejournal.com]

"Believe it," Charlie answers with a smirk.

[ostro_goth]

"I am cute," Teja says, "for taking pleasure in such touch?"

[licensed-pro.livejournal.com]

"It's completely normal, don't worry."

[ostro_goth]

"That I am cute?" Teja says, smiling. "Is normal?"

He is still standing there, the top of the forge apron hanging down, and his shimmering new ring in his nipple.

[licensed-pro.livejournal.com]

"That and that you like this," he flicks the little ring idly. "Being pulled on."

[ostro_goth]

"If it is normal," Teja says, tilting into the touch, "then it is not kinky -- or is kinky normal now?"

[licensed-pro.livejournal.com]

"Mmm, the latter. There will always be some kink in a relationship, or it gets boring really fast."

[ostro_goth]

"And always, something new to discover," Teja says, "and new ideas to try."

Pause.

"One of these days, I will wish to try that which you have done to me."

[licensed-pro.livejournal.com]

"Oh, that narrows it down, which part of what I've done to you are we referring to?"

[ostro_goth]

"I think you called it," he says, "a blow-job?"

[licensed-pro.livejournal.com]

"Well, sometime you could try it. It takes a fair bit of practice to b good at it, or be able to do some of what I did, but of course if you'd like to do that..."

[ostro_goth]

"You could teach me?" Teja says.

[licensed-pro.livejournal.com]

"And who do you suggest I demonstrate on?" he chuckles. "You'd be too mindless to remember it if it were you."

[ostro_goth]

"Complicated," Teja says. "You might instruct me while I try, until you turn mindless yourself."
