Catching up with friends

"It's been way too long, dude." Avery's friend Gilbert said after they exchanged a bear hug, before the man gestured inside his house and said, "Come on in, you and I have got a lot to shoot the shit about."

Avery smiled at the man as he nodded and followed him down a rather messy hallway, through a door, and into the man's cramped living room. The man then promptly handed him a beer and Avery chuckled as he said, "Still a fan of the rona, eh?"

"There are many things that a global pandemic and a stint in the army will do to you, but make me dislike good lager is thankfully not one such thing." Gilbert responded as he sat down on one of the sofas with a groan.

Avery soon followed suit, sitting on a couch nearby, before he cracked open the lid and lifted the thing up to his lips.

He and Gilbert had been friends since childhood, and the man had seen Avery in some of his more awkward moments, and been there for him like a brother more times that Avery could count. A level of kindness he rarely got to show back as the man was, other than being a little messy, very well grounded.

Hence, his ears pricked up after they'd finished small talking some more and the man leaned back into his sofa and groaned, "You're really selling me on your lifestyle here."

"You're converting to the deviant cause?" Avery replied, teasing the other man. He had been the first person to, albeit accidentally, learn of Avery's initial fascination with the art of domination and at first he hadn't exactly approved. Hence, his scoff and then sigh.

"I don't know." He then murmured honestly as he took a sip from his can, "I guess all that time following orders like a good little toy soldier made me rethink my relationship with power and authority and I can kind of see what you guys find so hot about it."

"Well," Avery said with a smile, "If you ever feel like exploring your desires more, there's a pretty decent club I know. There'll be plenty of available subs there as well as doms to help you get started in the lifestyle."

The man looked at him with some hesitation for a minute before he exclaimed, "Ah, what the fuck!" He then chugged down the remainder of his can of rona and proclaimed, after a loud sigh, "Yeah I'm not looking for a sub..."

Avery scanned the other man over for a bit before thinking about what the man had just said and then saying curtly and rather unhelpfully, "Ah, I see."

"You happen to know any good... uh... you know, doms?" The man then asked with a slightly awkward chuckle.

"I know plenty," Avery eventually replied, before clarifying, "But you're going to have to give a lot more details about what you're looking for if you want my recommendations to really mean anything other than I think they're good at what they do in a general."

The other man groaned before he shook his head and said, "Yeah, no. Sharing my kinks with you sounds weird as fuck. Maybe I'll just go check out that club you mentioned. If it has a lot of subs, its got to have a lot of doms, right?"

Avery accepted the man's rebuffing with a sly smile before he replied, "Usually you'd be right, but the club I was thinking of is a very... discreet location. Entering as a prospective dom is quite easy, I'd have just had to recommend you. But entering as a prospective sub, that'll require a bit more from you."

"I am more than fine with discreet, just tell me what shit I'd have to do." The man huffed in answer.

"Well, you'd go through a few weeks of basic training first."

"Basic Training?" The man asked with a raised eyebrow, "Don't tell me I'd be attending some boot camp for degenerates?"

"No, of course not." Avery replied as he placed his now empty can beside him, "All training is done one-on-one. So you'll be paired up with an experienced dom who will guide you through exploring your kinks. Whatever those are."

"Alright so I have to attend a few sex seminars, is that what you're telling me?"

"If by attend a few sex seminars you mean a total of 4 weeks spent living as the temporary sub of the aforementioned dom, then yes. That is about it."

"4 weeks?! What the fuck kind of training is this?"

Avery laughed before he said, "The club I am talking about is one that is geared towards training up subs who are trustworthy and good enough to be paired up with some of the most obsessively private people in the country. So, I imagine it'll probably be a lot of filter-esque training meant to test your seriousness in submission."

Gilbert looked at him with a vacant expression before he asked, "Any chance I could, you know, try a few things out with said dom before I agree to undergo such training?"

"Of course." Avery said with a nod, "I have a few friends at the club who'd probably be interested in training you, so, I guess I should ask, are you into still into stupidly large breasted women?"

"Naturally." The other man replied sarcastically before lowering his gaze a little as he muttered, "But I am actually more interested in a male dom."

"Alright I'll give a friend your number and he should contact you in a few days." Avery then said with a grin before he got up and walked over to the fridge and emptied it of another two cans before saying, "Now, no more talk about sex before this gets weird."

"Hey, Alex, what you doing?" Alex heard his work friend ask in an exaggerated rolling fashion as she walked into the backroom, catching him right in the middle of checking his phone for any texts from his daddy now that it was his lunch break.

Alex gave the woman a glare as he replied, "You know what I am doing."

The woman smiled deviously as she nodded and leaned against the wall next to him and said, "I always knew you know? It was so obvious from our first interaction."

Alex rolled his eyes as he asked, rhetorically, "Who could've ever guessed I was gay? You must be psychic, Lydia. It isn't like I openly state as much on all my social media that you follow me on."

"Oh no I'm not talking about that." The woman said, her smile growing even more devious as she leaned in closer and said, "I'm talking about your new little secret. The one you hide beneath all your sexy new jeans and yet openly display with that cute collar of yours."

Alex blushed furiously at the woman's words making his next statement completely absurd sounding, "I-I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh come on." The woman replied teasingly as she leaned in closer, her breath tickling Alex's neck, "You are a sub, aren't you?"

Alex did his best to create some distance as he replied, embarrassed, "That is none of your business."

"Ah, don't be like that." The woman cooed, "I just want to know because there is this group chat I've really been wanting to invite you to for a while, but the problem is you can only join if you're a sub."

It took Alex a moment to process the implications of the woman's words, but before he could voice his many questions, the manager came in and shot him a look, making Alex gulp as he saw that he was two minutes over his lunch break.

As he walked over to go stand back behind the counter, the woman made a phone sign with her hand and blew him a teasing kiss. Alex blushed as he pondered whether or not he should agree to join this strange group chat Lydia was a part of.

However, after thinking about it for a bit, he decided to do what he always did in such matters, he contacted his daddy and asked if it was okay. Alex only saw the reply after he had finished with work and the man had basically said that he was happy with Alex talking with other subs, but not to agree to anything further without asking him.

It wasn't like Alex would ever do that anyway, so he texted Lydia and confessed his status as a sub. A few minutes later, he was added to a group chat whose name was just a load of sex-related emojis, and the first thing he saw was a photo of a woman on her knees with a 12 inch dildo in her ass smiling up at a camera with two thumbs up.

And, the moment he joined, Alex was suddenly hounded by questions. All of which made him blush.

After the first barrage of questions was finished, Lydia began DM'ing him a bunch of stuff about all the others so that he wouldn't feel as though he was out of the loop. This meant, in some instances, before he even saw their face, Alex had been told all of their most devious kinks and fetishes.

Once he was all filled in, Lydia must have given a secret code to proceed with another round of 20 questions as Alex found himself being asked a lot of stuff. This time it was all stuff about his daddy, but this time they commented more openly on their thoughts on his answers.

Most of them found his answers to be "adorable" as, they then explained, the kind of stuff they were into was far more intense. Alex, having up till this point thought Leah was an **** case, suddenly found himself overwhelmed by images he very much did not enjoy thinking about.

So, after he told everyone he was tired, he muted the group chat and jumped into his bed. Dearly hoping his daddy never made him do half the shit he'd just heard about.
