“Just not M&Ms. We’ve seen what happens when you try to eat them too fast.” I was delighted with the blush Seb gave at my comment.
“Well it kind of worked out. You both rushed to save me from choking and got all Daddy about it.” Seb wiggled his brows as he brought a slice of beef up to his mouth.
Barking out a laugh, Marco shook his head. “While it did work out to our benefit, no choking on things, unless it’s our co?—”
“Marco,”I chastised, laughing. I darted my eyes towards Sebastian and instead of being horrified he was laughing.
He held his fork up, laden with broccoli gratin, and smiled. “Well, seeing I’ve never done what Daddy Marco is hinting at I’m pretty certain choking and spluttering may happen, but hey, a boy’s gotta learn.” He gave me a look of wide eyed innocence as he ate his food, and Marco, damn him, just grinned like the cat that had gotten the entire container of cream.
“Heathens, the both of you.” My response was received with more muffled laughter. “Okay, so we got you here to get to know you, but also show you what the club’s like without everyone here. You said you’ve not had very much experience with kink or the lifestyle?”
Sebastian nodded, taking a slow sip of his water. “I didn’t really know anything about kink or ageplay while I was living at home. I’ve always loved my stuffies and when I was small my grandmother gave me this adorable tea set. I loved having tea parties with all my teddies. Even when I got older, if I had a bad day at school or college I’d pull out the tea set and play with my teddies until I didn’t feel so bad. My parents freaked out when they caught me. My dad threw the set and my teddies out into the rubbish, and gave me a thrashing for being a weird little freak.” He lowered his glass and sighed. “I snuck out and got them back before the bin men came. I hid them in one of my old school bags. They were among the only things I took with me when my parents kicked me out.”
I couldn’t stop myself from reaching out and touching Sebastian’s hand. How many young people suffered because of their parents’ or families’ unwillingness to accept them for who they were?
Seb looked at us both and smiled sadly. “Things sucked for a while, but the silver lining was I found Miss Rose and Lilly. I may have lost one family but I gained another.”
“You are an amazing young man, Seb.” Marco said what I was thinking and feeling.
“You need to go with what you have. Living at home I would never have been free to be myself. So, in an odd way, I’m kind of thankful to them for kicking me out.” Seb smiled down at his plate. “Besides, it meant I got to meet the two of you.”
“And that, sweetheart, we are very grateful for,” I answered, reaching over the table to grab Marco’s hand with my free one. “After all the things Lilly had told us about you, to find out you were just as sweet and intelligent in person, we both knew that we had to take the opportunity to get to know you.”
Seb looked at both of us with a slight frown turning down his full lips. “I’m totally out of my depth here, and I know what I’mlike. I’ll get attached too fast and become totally clingy. So if you guys are only looking for something short term, I will need you to be honest.” Seb was obviously nervous, but he’d spoken up and not hidden his reservations.
“Roe and I both respect your honesty, and we promise every step of the way we won’t hide anything from you. I’m not a fortune teller so I can’t say what the future holds for us, but I’m not counting anything out.”
I smiled over at Marco, his simple straightforward answer saying exactly how I felt. It was easy to get in deep in the sort of relationships that formed within the kink community. They happened fast, and often deep emotional bonds could form which came from exploring kinks and fetishes. You had to put a lot of trust in a partner or partners, and feelings could often develop and not necessarily be romantic. But I felt in my heart that the feelings that were already developing, even if they were only in the embryonic stage, were definitely romantic. Seb was like a perfect puzzle piece that slotted into the life Marco and I wanted.
“I’m excited to see the playroom.”
I couldn’t help but grin at Seb’s shyly spoken words. I was incredibly proud of the Littles space we’d created inside the club, a cosy oasis in our kinky paradise. I couldn’t wait for Sebastian’s reaction when he saw it.
The conversation flowed easily. Seb and Marco discovered they both shared a love for disaster films. Seb’s eyes lit up when he talked about the store and Lilly, and his excitement when he described the designs he was working on for a range of play clothes for Littles. I loved the idea, and could imagine how the Littles in our community would clamber for one-off original play clothes.
Sebastian moved his fork around on his plate, not really eating anything. I wondered if he’d gotten so swept up inconversation that he’d forgotten to eat or whether it was nerves, but it pinged my Daddy urges.
“Seb, you’ve barely touched your meal. Don’t you like it?”
Seb’s eyes darted down to his plate and his brow furrowed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be wasteful.”
“You’re nothing of the sort, but I imagine remembering to eat when you’re engrossed in conversation is a problem.”
He grinned and nodded. “I tend to forget to eat a lot.”
“Well, lucky you have two Daddies who will help make sure you don’t skip meals.” I looked at his plate purposefully then back to Seb. “I don’t know all your food preferences yet but once I do, I’d like to make sure you don’t skip meals, and that you have a few meals that don’t consist of cup noodles.”
Seb somehow managed to gasp and laugh at the same time. “I can’t believe Lilly blabbed about that.”
“To be fair, I did ask her what sort of thing you liked to eat, and she may have mentioned that you live off pot noodles and toasted sandwiches.”
“I would like to refute that. Sometimes I have beans.” Seb smiled cheekily.
“You’re talking tins of baked beans, aren’t you?” I wrinkled my nose. I’d never in my life seen the appeal of them.
“Yep.” Seb grinned.
“How would you feel if we told you that pot noodles and toasted sandwiches were a treat food from now on, and that we’ll make sure you have a proper lunch and dinner?” Marco asked, throwing a wink my way. He picked up on what I was doing. I wanted to see how Sebastian took to us guiding him.
