Page 75 of Full Body Hit, Part 1

Hey, baby. How’s your day been?

Chase let his breath out slowly, feeling his shoulders sag as if his body were preparing to collapse in someone’s arms. He hated that he was always complaining to Aunix, probably making him worry, but his daddy had told him to never hold this stuff back, so he didn’t have a choice.

It was liberating not having the option of keeping these hurts to himself.

Charlie

Kind of shitty but better now that I’m talking to you

How’s your day been?

Aunix

What’s made your day shitty?

Trust Aunix to ignore the rest of that message.

Charlie

Urgh just work again

Aunix

That asshole coworker giving you trouble again?

Charlie

No actually he’s been ignoring me mostly

My work team hasn’t been doing too well on the project we’re working on and it just sucks to try so hard and fail

Aunix

Damn, you could have described my work day too

That made Chase stop short. It was stupid, but he’d imagined that his daddy did everything perfectly. That work was easy for him despite having described it as physically taxing.

Aunix

Sorry your day has been crappy, baby. It happens to the best of us, but that doesn’t make it suck any less

What do you do when you feel like this? After a tough day at work, I mean. What do you do to feel better?

Charlie

Ummmmm I dunno. Is wallowing an option?

Aunix

No, baby. Something to help you, not punish you

Charlie

Well…this is kind of silly but I used to like to nest

I know that’s only for heats but I dunno it felt good. I’d only do it for a little bit though promise
