"Typical" sunday

Sunday, July 5th

Celine opened her eyes slowly, blinded by the light that hit her in the face through the open window. It was but a moment of serenity before she felt it. The headache, which only served as the starting domino. When the headache hit her, so did the nausea. For the standards of the university she was going to attend, she hadn't even drank that much. But for her own standard, she drank a lot. She'd never been good at handling **** and the hangover she was experiencing right now wasn't a surprise at all.

Celine slowly made her way out of bed, putting on some comfortable clothes. She made her way over to the living room, which was empty. Celine looked around and noticed that Madelynn's keys were missing from the keyring. After checking Madelynn's bedroom, which was empty, she decided to hang out on the couch and watch some series.

It hadn't taken long before the door opened. By now, Celine had begun to feel a lot better. When the door opened, Madelynn walked in dressed in one of her numerous workout outfits consisting out of very tight, form fitting leggings and a sports top that left her midriff bare. A sweaty midriff at that. Her long blonde and blue hair was tied up in a high ponytail.

"Hey" Madelynn panted. "Feeling alright?" she smiled at her.

-"Yea, better now" Celine stammered as she was looking at her roommate with amazement. "You came home later than me... right?" she inquired, to which Madelynn nodded. "How in gods name are you up already, not to mention working out even?" she exclaimed in shock.

"Yeah. You know I don't get hangovers hon'" Madelynn said as she walked into the bathroom. Whilst Madelynn was busy in the bathroom, Celine continued watching her series while laying on the couch. Within minutes, Celine was asleep.

Celine woke up on the couch, feeling refreshed this time, when she felt a gentle shake at her shoulder. Madelynn was sitting next to her on the couch, gently trying to wake her.

"Wakey wakey sleepy" Madelynn said in hushed tone, being mindful of the hangover Celine had.

-"Hey Maddy." Celine was confused for a second, she clearly remembered Madelynn going to the bathroom to get washed up, but she was still wearing a similar outfit now. It was a second later that she noticed Madelynn had changed one workout outfit for another after showering.

-"What time is it?" Celine asked, making a move to sit upright.

"It's only 13:00."

-"Ah crap, I've been asleep for two hours!"

"Relax Celine, it's Sunday. Nowhere to be." Madelynn calmed her roommate. "I have something for you." Madelynn said as she handed a couple of papers to Celine.

-"What's this?" Celine asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Have a look."

As Celine flipped through the pages her eyes lit up with excitement and joy. Every page seeming to either intrigue or surprise her.

-"I'm glad you filled this in. Barely any hard limits and a lot of 'want to try', I see" Celine smiled at her friend.

"Yup. It's not on there so I put it under comments, but cutting my hair is a hard limit, just so you know."

-"I suspected as much." The girls laughed at this.

"Also, Celine, my safeword is pineapple." Madelynn said seriously. The serious face she was putting up with it however, is not something she could hold for long, as they both broke out in laughter again.

When their laughter calmed down a bit Celine asked "So pineapple huh? how'd you think of pineapple?"

"I just love pineapple" Madelynn said matter of factly. Now that Celine had Madelynn's checklist, all that remained was a formal 'seal the deal'. Celine got up from the couch, leaving Madelynn behind with a questioning look on her face, and ran to her bedroom. When she came out of her bedroom, Celine was carrying a piece of paper.

-"Come." Celine said as she walked over to the dining table, on which she put the papers.

"What's this?" Madelynn inquired when she reached the table.

-"This is a very basic BDSM 'contract'. We need to sign one each and keep it somewhere safe. It's not a real contract of course, but it's more of an agreement between us. A sign that we're both consensually entering into a BDSM relation." Celine explained.

"Do we really need that?" Madelynn raised an eyebrow at her.

-"Well, we probably don't. But I'm going to have to insist." Celine pressed.

"Alright. Here goes." Madelynn picked up the pen Celine had brought and signed both copies. She was now officially part of a BDSM relationship. Madelynn let out a sigh of relief.

-"So, should we talk about how we're going to give shape to this relation?" Celine asked a bit shyly.

"Yes. We should. But before we say anything, I need to tell you something." Celine was taken a bit off guard by this comment.

-"Alright, what is it Maddy?" she responded.

"Today while I was showering, I was thinking about... this. This whole BDSM stuff. And I came to a couple of conclusions that I should tell you before we do anything." Madelynn's face was cast to the floor while she said this. "First off, I came to the conclusion that I need to be honest with you about how I feel. How I feel about you specifically. We're best friends, we've been for ages. And I love you, like a best friend, like a sister. But there is a chance it might be more than that. I might have romantic feelings for you, but I'm not sure yet."

-"Oh..." Celine was taken aback by this, but recovered rather quickly. "You know I love you too Maddy. And if you're being honest, so will I. I have had a crush on you for a while now. And I'm just being honest, not trying to achieve anything this way. I just want you to know, and when you figure it out, come talk to me. Alright?"

Madelynn nodded.

-"And what were the other conclusions you reached?" Celine said after a bit of a silence.

"The other conclusions were about the BDSM itself. I was thinking that we agreed to something that gives me, the submissive, way too much say over how things are going to play out. And I was thinking I'd rather... well... I prefer if I had less say. Before the party you told me that you'd go at my pace and that I'd be the one to choose when we do what and stuff... And I kind of want to let you do that." Madelynn said, if even possible, she had started looking even more at the ground than before. "Ever since you told me about all this and the stuff we might do regarding it I've been thinking about this. And I've finally concluded that it should be you that gives the pace. It should be you that decides we try new things. And yes, I even mean this when it comes to sexual stuff."

Celine swallowed hard.

-"That's a rather decisive conclusion Maddy, are you sure about that?" Celine responded. Madelynn looked her best friend in the eyes. Her green eyes staring deep into Celine's. Then she only nodded her head in a firm yes, but said nothing.

-"Alright. Even when it comes to making behaviour rules, that apply outside of sessions as well?"

"Yes." Madelynn said sternly.

-"How will you object when you fundamentally don't want a rule? When it's a hard limit?"

"I'll use my safeword, and we'll talk about it after."

-"It seems like you've thought it through carefully..."

"Yes, Celine, I have, as long as you take it slow and don't hurt me... In a bad way. Please agree?" Madelynn said in a meek voice.

-"Alright then." Celine thought for a second. "Since we're going to be going to different classes and have different schedules, we're gonna have to decide on the context of the relationship. What days should we dedicate to it?"

"Every day."

-"But what about class?"

"Well, we won't be near, but we can just stay in the dynamic all the time. If either of us needs a break we can discuss it. If we're not close to one another we can't do BDSM stuff anyway. But staying true to the dynamic even when we're apart gives room for some sneaky assignments or something even when we're not close." Madelynn explained. Celine noticed Madelynn had done her homework, she was using terms she hadn't before. Madelynn really wanted this.

-"Alright then, agreed. 24/7 dynamic. We're going to slowly build it up though."

"Yes please!" Madelynn said with a smile.

-"I have a first rule for you, and it's going into effect immediately."

"Oeh, a rule already. Let's hear it!"

-"This one is going to be easy for you, as you already do it 80% of the time. Anyway, the rule is as follows: from this point onward, you're only allowed to wear form fitting, semi-revealing or sexy clothing, unless I allow you to do otherwise."

"Easy!" Madelynn grinned at Celine.

-"How about we start this dynamic off the right way?"
