Collector of Sins (StainedCrimson and Exellda) 18+

[StainedCrimson]

Silas let the other touch him and talk. It seems as though the other needs it and that it is helping the albino to sort his thoughts. He's not overly into having his nipples played with, but that doesn't stop his body from responding to the stimulation by pebbling up. Still, there's no other reaction to the touches. "Are you questioning my honor pet?" He asks finally, in a deceptively soft voice but there's an edge wrapped in the softness.

 

That is one line almost guaranteed punishment in his family. Silas may not be Father, not formally, but everyone knows to agree with Father when he says 'the crow flies white' and to not question him. On honor particularly. As Tony is an outsider, and new, he gets some slack but there is a very fine line of how much leeway the heir is willing to be with his pet.

 

Taking a long, slow breath at the other's question, he lets it out quietly and slowly before answering. "I do tend to be the initiator That doesn't mean I'm against the other party initiating now and then." Shifting, Silas makes eye contact with Tony without really moving. "However, in your case making that first full step might be necessary." This part is said softly, almost as though he's thinking aloud. When the albino mentions his heat limit Silas moves his hand and nudges the other to get out. "Not tonight I'm not. You've had a long day and tomorrow may be another one."

 

He pours himself another cup after finishing his previous one. "I'll be in here a little bit longer, but if you're done you may go get ready for bed. We have an early morning." In the morning they'll have breakfast with his father after all. He steadily makes his way through the remainder of the bottle, and after the last swallow lets out a faint sigh. It's not that he's deprived, but needs do tend to build up and need releasing now and then. After closing his eyes for a few moments, he pushes up and makes his way back to his room.

 

Uncaring that he's naked, he walks to the room leaving the bottle, cup and robe behind. The sake has given him a slight buzz but only enough to take the top edge off. He heads to the bathroom to wash up before making his way to bed. Slipping under the covers, Silas stretches prepared to fall asleep. In the morning someone comes to wake them up by knocking on the door. "Young Master? You asked to be woken up at this time." The servant then leaves as Silas gives a low growl as he shifted to wake up.

 

Slowly he wakes up and gets up to dress and get ready. "Are you ready pet?" He husks out, coming out of the bathroom in a traditional yukata. Tugging on a sleeve to straighten it out, he prepares to head to where they'll be meeting with his father. Once both of them are ready they are led to a tea room that overlooks a small garden with a sakura tree and koi pond. In the room at a prepared table is an older man, much like what one could expect Silas to look once he enters his 50's or 60's. In other words, a very hot older man who looks younger than one would expect. "Silas! Welcome! Sit my boy!" It is only when they get closer that the truth can be seen. The older man is thin, and clearly not fairing well physically.

 

"Hello father." Silas greets with a small, but warm smile as he seats himself. Near him is a cushion that is meant for Tony to sit on.

[Exellda]

Nothing was said in reply when Yuzuuki asked Tony about his 'honor'. The albino felt that his master should know what and where that question came from. He could never be sure what his master would do or not do. It would be wonderful if his master would keep his promises, but Tony was so use to broken promises that he wasn't getting his hopes up. He figured his master understood what he meant, at least enough that Tony didn't feel the need to explain himself any further. When his master pushed him away, Tony wasn't sure if he should be surprised or not.

 

The albino was beginning to realize that not only was his master exceedingly perceptive, but also, at least he appeared to be, kind among other things. Normally, in the past, master's disregarded his feelings, emotional and physical health. And yet, here he was now, with a master who seemed in tune with his needs, or perhaps he was an actual decent person, maybe both. After being pushed away, Tony stood there for a moment before excusing himself. It was strange to him that his master hadn't really touched him much since getting here. For better or worse, he didn't know... But if he was being honest, there was a part of him that was relieved. Ever since he got here he hadn't really been 'in the mood'. While he was attracted to his master, and sure, there were moments he felt slightly aroused, it never got any further than that.

 

Making his way out of the spring, he absentmindedly wrapped the towel around him in an attempt to dry off. The albino wondered inside and made his way to the bathroom. He felt the need to wash his face off with cold water. After that, he dropped off his towel, not minding being naked so long as he was alone or with his master. Tony found himself getting excited when he reached the bedroom. He looked forward to bundling himself in the blankets. Plus, sleep sounded awfully wonderful right about now. Tony laid down and wrapped himself in the blankets, but not all of them as he wanted to save some for his master, until he was practically a burrito. Within minutes he was able to fall asleep.

 

Unfortunately for him his dreams were once again plagued with nightmares. At some point during the night he unwrapped himself because he got too hot. Tony forced himself back to sleep and tossed and turned for part of the night. However, not too long after he fell asleep he got up to use the restroom. After falling asleep once again, about an hour later he awoke from a vivid nightmare that startled him awake. Tony then laid there in complete silence, feeling quite miserable from the lack of sleep he was getting. He stared blankly at the ceiling for a long while, then around the room, then his sleeping master. Tony decided to scoot a little closer and after several minutes, thankfully, he fell asleep again.

 

Usually it was easy for him to wake up in the morning, but today was one of those days... Tony didn't even wake up until his master was getting out of bed. He groggily and stiffly got out of bed and got himself dressed to the best of his abilities. Today he was supposed to see his master's father, which was a rare situation. Tony was surprisingly nervous, not to mention tired- no exhausted would be a better word. After he was dressed, he sat on the blankets for a little longer, closing his eyes... His tired eyes closed only briefly but flew open when his master came back. He nodded, "One second..." He said before slipping past the other male and into the bathroom where he got his hands wet and washed his face really quick. The albino pat his face, making his cheeks go slightly pink. He tried his best to hide his tiredness from his master, so he perked up instead. After that he was ready to go.

 

Returning to his master's side, the albino follows along silently. He enjoyed the scenery around this place... It was beautiful. He found himself led to a tea room. Once his master sat down, Tony looked about the room and spotted the extra cushion. He hesitated for a moment, briefly wondering if it was for him or not... But in the end he finally sat down. Hearing the other males voice made Tony shy away slightly, but his eyes glanced over the features of the new male. Yuuzuki looked like his father, they were both attractive men. However, there was one distinct difference, the father seemed frailer. But Tony wasn't stupid, he knew all too well that if this man was the father to his master, then this man was a powerful one, be it physical strength or not.

 

The albino had no idea what to do. So he shyly placed his hands in his lap, unsure if he should say or do anything. He didn't want to be rude. Did he even have a right to talk to someone of such high status? Tony would sit there quietly until he was either addressed or it was okay to eat.

[StainedCrimson]

The older man glances at Tony in brief curiosity, but soon turns back to Silas, smile still in place. "I hear you've been busy lately." He comments with a slightly raised eyebrow as a servant brings in a tray with the tea items. Silas smoothly sets up the items in front of himself and begins making the match tea while a faint smile forms but offers no comment to his father's words. Laughing softly the older man folds his arms in the sleeves of his yukata. "Alright, keep your secrets then." He huffs before sighing softly. "It's been a relief to see how well you've been adjusting to running things though as your father I can't help but wish you had chosen a different path." Speaking softly, the elder version of Silas seems to sadden and gain a few years of age.

 

Silas gently settles a cup in front of his father and begins making some more before speaking. "You always made it clear that I was free to choose my own path. While I may have considered it at one point or another there was nothing that caught my attention enough to make me desire doing something else." Silas rolls a shoulder in a minor shrug as he fills his own cup then puts some in a cup for Tony as well. "Besides, there are few things that would have offered me the challenges and opportunities that I have now. I have no regrets about the path I've chosen."

 

This seems to allay Silas' father's concerns somewhat as he relaxes minutely. Soon both men are sipping at the tea while beginning to take food from the array before them. Once Silas' father begins to eat, Silas gets Tony a plate and gestures for him to get some food before eating his own. They eat silently for a few moments before the older man finally gives in after numerous glances at Tony. "Just who have you brought in Silas?" He asks finally, looking fully at Tony and doesn't look away from the albino as he speaks.

 

Silas huffs slightly while setting his chopsticks down. "He is a gift. Apparently it was determined I needed a pet." He states dryly with a verbal equivalent of an eye roll. His father jolts and looks at Silas incredulously before laughing. Silas stares blankly at his father for a moment before resuming eating, but not before a brief smile can be seen.

 

Slowly the chuckles die down as the older male shakes his head. "I see... And I can guess who gave you such a 'gift'." He murmurs with a pleased sigh. "I take it then that your pet is the reason for the increased activity around your home... Do you not plan to home then?" He asks in a more serious, but curious, tone. Silas tilts his head in thought then gives a slow shake of his head. "Not anytime in the near future at the very least. Perhaps l will reconsider when needed." Silas says eventually in a soft thoughtful tone. While he knows his father is not in the best health, there is no immediate concern nor need for him to be in the Family Home.

 

After a returned nod the two talk a little more, breakfast is concluded and Silas gives a formal bow before taking his leave without checking to see if Tony is following him. They soon return to the room but he keeps walking until they reach a path that leads out into one of the garden paths.

[Exellda]

The albino simple sits quietly, a little anxiously while watching the other two men chat. It isn't until his master gives him a plate that he actually begins to eat. He tries to be polite eating quietly, listening and trying not to stare. When the inevitable topic regarding why *he* is here comes up, Tony finds himself shrinking slightly from the attention. So, his master's father had no idea about him yet? Well... Not that it was his business, it was really up to his master what information he shared.

 

From what he gathered, Yuuzuki looked like his father and followed in his footsteps... So did that mean he got his... 'attitude' from his mother? Or was his master always like this? Suppose he would ask later. The conversation about him lasted longer than he would have liked but... He felt... How to word it... Oh yeah, 'unwanted'. Tony felt a little unwanted by the way Silas, his master, talked about him. While he knew that he probably wasn't the best gift, he didn't sound too happy to have him... He tried to focus on the fact that his master's other name was 'Silas' instead of dwelling over the fact that there was still a high possibility that his master was not satisfied with him.

 

The whole time Tony was silent. He enjoyed the food and said his thanks. And when everything was said and done and his master got up to leave, the albino followed suit. So far Tony hadn't felt the need to talk, while eating he wasn't even sure if he was supposed to. There was also the fact that he was shy and anxious, as meeting his master's father was intimidating to him. He wasn't worried that his silence came off as rude. He was only a pet and if he was supposed to talk he would have been asked directly.

 

It was when Silas came to a stop that Tony paused as well. He had followed the other male without even thinking about it and it was only now that he realized that his master didn't stop at the bedroom. Tony blinks a couple times. By now the sun had risen a bit. He didn't look directly at the sky as it would blind him. He merely closed the space between him and his master and casually looped his arm around his master's left arm. Tony doesn't really look up, nor anywhere for that matter. Actually, the albino sighs, content with the food he just ate, with his eyes completely closed. It's unlike him, but he huddles a little closer to his master. At first he is silent, thinking about whether he should break the silence to begin with, but after a moment he caves, "So... that was your father, huh?" He hums, "You definitely look like him and take after him..." But his brows furrowed, "Hmmmn, but you seem... More closed off than he is. Do you take after your mother in that regards?" He asked curiously.

 

"...and... you didn't sound too happy while talking about me. I'm sorry if I do not satisfy you, I know I didn't make that great of a gift... I suppose you could always return me..." He said, feeling hurt by his own words, his free hand clenched into a fist. Admittedly, despite himself and everything that had happened, despite the fact that they hadn't been together for long, Tony was already feeling a sense of attachment to Yuuzuki. Perhaps that was why he had been so bold as to cling onto his master's arm like this.

[StainedCrimson]

When Tony breaks the silence first, Silas glances over him in surprise but is also curious as to what the other will say. Hearing the questions, he gives a slight nod."That was my father, yes. However, don't let his demeanor fool you. As open as he may have seemed there was a lot he didn't say and much he was thinking. That man is very shrewd." Shifting slight, Silas shrugs. "s for my mother, I suppose you could say that I take after her in some ways but neither are particularly reserved."

 

Of his small blood-related family, Silas is a bit different as he carries both the aura of his father and the charisma of both parents, but is more introspective and deliberate in his words and actions. Not that either of them are reckless or thoughtless. They wouldn't be doing as well as they are if his parents were the careless types.

 

When the smaller male talks about Silas not sounding happy about having Tony and returning him, Silas turns to face the other with a small frown. "What makes you think that my displeasure was targeted towards you? Have I given you reason to believe I am the sort who will tolerate things that I am unhappy with silently?" With a soft sigh, he shakes his head. "If nothing else I would have thought you would have taken the changes I've undertaken to care for you as a sign that I have no intention or returning you, and I think I've already told you that I'll address you with any corrections I may want. Which, for now, is for you to stop acting like I'll be getting rid of you at any moment. You can think of it as my not wanting to waste my investment into you if that helps."

 

With that, heedless of the other's hold on him which pleases him, he continues their walk for a little while. Eventually they make their way back to the main section of the house and are escorted out to a waiting car. Settling inside he lets out a soft yawn as the car begins to move. "Let's see... I have an appointment before lunch and then nothing for the rest of the evening." Silas murmurs while looking at his phone. They first stop is is a tailor where he has a few suits being made, and is needed to make sure they are going to fit properly before the final sewing is done.

 

The tailor takes roughly an hour and then they leave to go to another business where a business deal is to be finalized. Going in Tony gets several types of looks, many of which are of surprise and confusion, though no one says anything. When seated in a conference room, those he's meeting with clearly wish to say something but Silas speaks before they have the chance. "Everything is in order I presume?" Sitting down he idly wonders where he should take his pretty pet to eat for lunch.

[Exellda]

Something about the way his master explains that he intends to keep Tony makes something in his mind click. This guy... was serious. It just felt like the world stopped for him. Everything inside of him told him that he was hearing things. But no, his master was not the type to just 'tolerate' things, he was yakuza after all. As far as he heard, they were not the kind of people to let things slide. He was definitely the type to fix or make it better somehow. Which, in this case, if his master was unhappy with him... Tony wouldn't be here right now.

 

"I see..." He says after a while of silence. "Then I hope your happy being stuck with me." It was hard for him to accept the fact that his master actually wanted him... However what he said made sense and his way of thinking was filled with holes. Tony supposed he could try to warm up to Yuuzuki even further... Though, he was hesitant to do so considering his past... Again, his master did make it seem convincing... And the more he thought about it... The more he was willing to accept the fact.

 

After that little talk they walk a little further, ending up in a car. They ended up at a tailors shop, which Tony has never actually been to one before. The albino is keen to watch the tailor work. It's mostly measurements and a pin-up here and there but Tony has some knowledge about sewing in general. Watching someone else do it professionally is very inspiring for someone like him... Not that Tony plans to make a career, more like he likes the idea of being able to make his own clothes. Aside from that, Tony thinks his master looks dashing in a well fitted suit. The trip is anything but boring for Tony.

 

When they leave, they ended up going to a business that Tony isn't familiar with. It wasn't like he could really look around though... Seeing as he felt numerous people's eyes on him at all times. Tony was never one to hold so much attention at once. He was shy like that. A one-on-one was fine... But Tony felt like he could only look at the floor ahead of him or his master. The prying eyes made him nervous and so he followed his master even closer than before.That's not to say he can't get use to it. If brought into this place again he would do better. Finally, they get to a room where his master sits down and Tony doesn't know what to do with himself. The albino is a little fidgety for a moment before standing at his side. The albino has no idea why they are there, who these people were, their relationship with his master, what's going on... He's looking forward to the part where they leave.

[StainedCrimson]

Silas notices Tony fidgeting and nervous. Without looking away from the businessmen, he puts a hand on Tony's lower back and gently applies pressure until the other is kneeling next to him. Once the other is in position, he gently strokes and pets the soft white strands. The others watch curiously but choose to not comment on the odd sight, instead slowly focusing their gaze back on to him. "Of course Yuuzuki-san. Though I do hope you'll forgive us for our lapse in manners. It is most unusual for anyone, especially you, to have others with you." One of the younger men comments, though of the four he is the only one close to Silas in age based on appearance.

 

At the comment and more glances at his pet, he raises an eyebrow while leaning back. "I see. Is this going to pose a problem?" He asks in a cool calm tone which makes the others either freeze or flinch slight. The eldest man quickly shakes his head and gives a nervous laugh. "Of course not! It's just taken us by surprise is all." Another nods as well and quickly pulls out some paperwork. "N-now then. You're more than welcome to look the contract over before we sign and if there are any changes or issues we can discuss them and do further revisions." With a nervous smile a slim folder is handed over with Silas does take the time to read through, though it appears more like skimming due to how quickly he finishes.

 

"Everything seems in order. I see no need for more negotiation or revision." The others give faint sighs of relief before quickly smiling. "We're glad to hear that Yuzuuki-san. Once we sign we'll be sure to make copies for all parties." Nodding his ascent the forms are soon signed and copies made and handed out. That done, he stands and brushes some imaginary lint from his shoulder. "A pleasure doing business. Now if you'll excuse me." With a nod of his head he turns and leaves without waiting for a response after making sure that Tony is following along.

 

Once back in the car they head out to a nice little restaurant for lunch. "Alright pet, find something you'd like to eat." He orders after they both sit at a table. When the waiter comes he orders a glass of wine and blackened chicken alfredo for his main dish. Checking his phone he lets out a small sound of approval before tucking it away. "After this we'll be heading home for the day."

[Exellda]

The moment his masters hand touched him was also the same moment Tony closed his eyes, almost seemingly like he was going to flinch. He is clearly nervous with all the prying eyes on him. However, his master must have notice his discomfort because he soon found himself kneeling. This new position was very effective in hiding him but also calm his nerves a little. Tony felt like he could relax and be more at ease. The additional head pets was very nice too... Tony was almost shocked at how attentive his master seemed. He cared enough to do this, and for that, he was grateful.

 

Without meaning to, Tony slowly starts to lean into his masters hand at first, until eventually he's actually starting to lean against his leg as well. The albino chooses to ignore what is said at the meeting. Instead, he is quiet, seeking whatever comfort and attention Silas is willing to give him at this time. Using him as a distraction for now turned out to be a great idea because the meeting seem to pass by fairly quickly. So quickly, in fact, that when his master got up, Tony jolted a little because he had been half asleep. He rises from his spot and follows his master in quick pursuit.

 

It was a short ride to the next location, a restaurant for lunch. Ah, yes, Tony reminds himself that he is the spoiled one. To have a master kind enough to take him out and even go out to eat with him. Tony looks at what his master got, then at what he got. Essentially the same thing, only, Tony loved seafood. Aside from the water, he ordered himself the alfredo with shrimp. Sure, shrimp does cost a little more, all seafood has a surplus charge, but he couldn't help himself... Besides, his master did not object to his selection. Maybe that was because they were in public? Hmmn, no, he was sure his master would have said otherwise is he did not approve of his choice. Shrimp was fine, for now, at least. Though, if his master really did not like it... Tony thought, at the very least, perhaps he could make it up to him... Later at home.

 

Tony seems to perk up when he mentions that they would be going home. So they were done for the day? Okay. That gave them a lot of time... to do... whatever. That... might actually be nice. "Oh..? Is it leisure time? Or are you still going to be working on something when we get home?" Just because they were going home didn't mean that his master would not busy himself with whatever matters that needed to be done. In any case, Tony was relieved to be going home. Even if his master worded at home, it would be calmer. He could lounge around. Relax. And maybe, if he brought up the courage, play with his master a little. If he couldn't do it, then maybe he would settle for cuddles... or something that wasn't too... intense?

[StainedCrimson]

Silas doesn't even notice the cost difference in the food, but does note that his pet had gone for seafood over anything else. Settling into his own food, he takes a bite as the albino asks his questions. "I have some work that requires my attention, but it shouldn't take too long." Mostly he has to deal with some correspondence among his people as well as check on his little captive.

 

He had had another meeting, but it was rescheduled due to receiving word that the landscaping was done. Once they finish and head back, Silas guides Tony out to the back yard with a hand on the albino's lower back. "Now, if anything needs to be fixed or changed let me know." The words are stated simply as he opens the door without flourish. The sight that greets them is almost a mini-oasis. There is plenty of shade throughout the space, even though the fair-skinned male should still wear sunscreen or clothing to cover up in, as well as large flat stones set in a path.

 

Near the door is a set of chairs and a table, in the other corner is a hammock and yet another a bench. "Go on, explore. I'll be in my office." After a few pets to the soft white hair, he turns back in to finish his work so that he can relax for the remainder of the day. Settling in his chair, he lets out a soft sigh while rolling his shoulders before focusing on the computer. Soon Silas is typing away as he sends off emails, checks his schedule, and other miscellaneous tasks that take him a few hours to complete. Once done he turns off the computer and leans back in the chair with a sigh, eyes closed.

[Exellda]

Lunch was over quickly. Tony was full and satisfied. The ride home was a quiet one but that was okay. When they finally get home, they walked inside- but Tony suddenly felt his master's hand on his lower back, guiding him. Soon, he found himself led to the back yard and much to his amazement, it was... totally different. Instantly, he recalled their conversation the other day... Tony had mentioned wanting to be outside... And now... Tony was speechless as his master left to go work.

 

For a moment, Tony stood there in silence, just looking. Then, slowly, Tony starts to wonder around. He takes in the sight before him, observing everything within the vicinity. He appreciates the obvious attention to detail, everything from the smartly placed shadows, to the stone path, the chairs and table, the hammock, all the greenery... Tony felt his heart flutter as he looked around. His master did this... for him? To think that he also trusted him enough to stay here, by himself on top of that. That meant a great deal to him. The change to the backyard meant a lot to him. Tony wonders of the to the hammock once he is done looking around. Time was lost while he was wondering around. He struggles a moment to get on, but once he does, he lays down and stares up at the sky for a little while.

 

He relaxes there for a moment, watching the clouds until his sight becomes blurry with sudden tears. Tony allows them to fall, crying silently. There wasn't a particular reason he was crying, or at least, he wasn't upset. He was overwhelmed with emotion, most of which he never experienced before. He was happy. It was so bizarre... He was crying because he was happy? This had never happened to him before. Tony started to wipe away his tears, sniffling and curling up in a ball. He laid there, holding himself for a moment. A small, happy smile forms on his lips. He can't remember the last time he was this happy.

 

At some point he must have dozed off, not for too long. It was a little nap. Tony realized that he needed to stop taking so many naps. The albino gets up, wobbly, from the hammock. He yawns and stretches quickly, deciding to check up on his master. He makes his way inside, to his master's office space. Peering in, he sees his master is leaning back in his chair, eyes closed. Tony approaches his master and places his hand on his shoulder. The albino is more willing to do things for his master who has given him so much. It wasn't the materialistic things that made Tony happy, it was the thought behind them- though, that's not to say he doesn't like materialistic items.

 

"Thank you." He utters softly, leaning down and pressing his lips to Yuuzuki's cheek. There was nothing he could complain about, at least for now. To be honest, Tony considered siting on his master's lap, but was that okay to do in the office chair? Maybe somewhere else, like the couch, would be a better spot. Tony feels ready enough to at least show his appreciation thus far. If that meant that he could kiss his master, maybe be in his arms for a bit... or maybe even a little more than that, he was okay with it. "Looks like you are finished with your work. Guess that means you are now free to do something else, now?" He was a little shy about asking if his master wanted to do something together. He didn't care what they did, he just wanted to be around him... Maybe be a little cuddly... Maybe... Yes, they had been around each other all day, but he they hadn't actually done anything together by themselves. He had considered asking his master if he wanted to even be around him. Perhaps he wanted some alone time? Or maybe he didn't want to be bothered right now?

[StainedCrimson]

The moment the handle turns and the door is pushed open, Silas comes back from his mental drift. He wouldn't be the next head of his family if he was easily caught unaware after all. Still, he knows it is most likely his pretty little pet and is soon proven right, though the kiss and touch surprise him slightly as Tony hasn't proven to be all that affectionate this early on. Having the albino initiate contact causes him to feel pleased that his efforts and time haven't been wasted, and have in fact encouraged the other to warm up to him.

 

Cracking an eye open, he glances at his pet who seems to be a bit antsy and shy. Inwardly grinning at the sight, as well as noticing that Tony has glanced at his lap a few times, Silas raises an eyebrow. "You're welcome pet." Shifting slightly while keeping the partial gaze on the other, his head tilts slightly. "I suppose that's true. Was there something you wanted to do with me right now?" His tone carries an undercurrent of teasing, but internally Silas is genuinely curious as to what the other will request.

 

Straightening up, the young owner rolls his neck and shoulders to relieve some of the tension as he waits for a response. Checking to make sure his computer is shut down, his gaze returns to the albino. "Well? Any requests or do I need to decide for you?" His tone is light, almost teasing, but his deadpan look makes it almost seem as if he's either a bit impatient or just hard to read. Granted he had briefly entertained the thought of having his pet "thank" him by kneeling down and pleasuring him to help with the ever present tension that he always carries, but had nearly as quickly dismissed it as the relationship is too fragile and new to suggest that even if only teasing or to see how the other male would respond.

 

Soon though... Silas thinks to himself. While not a player or manwhore by any means, he is used to regular sex and will be seeking that stress relief soon. Whether from his pet or elsewhere depends on how things have developed.

[Exellda]

If he didn't know any better, Tony felt like he could hear his master teasing him? Was that right? Tony had originally come here to thank his master... He really wanted to show him how much he had warmed up to him in this short time. Silas had a profound effect on him and his health, both physically and mentally. Sure, he had his traumas... But that didn't mean Tony had forgotten how to sweeten up for his masters- or in most cases, do his actual job of pleasing his masters. He felt like it was the least he could do after his master had done all of this for him. And sure, he might be nervous about it, but he felt that his master... He... He was different from all the others.

 

The suggestive implications from his master makes him blush a little. He glances away out of shyness before narrowing back onto his master, "I... I've never really had a choice before..." He says at first. The idea of choosing what he wanted to do... just made his heart pound. In these situations he usually could suggest things and then from there his masters either took his advice, or completely ignored it. In the end, he never really got to say exactly what he wanted, let alone get what he wanted. It was almost a strange and foreign idea to him, though, highly appealing.

 

When it's all said and done, for now, Tony decides to play it safe and says, "Well... Could you decide this time..? If that's okay?" He could think of a couple things. Yes, he did want to be cuddled, but... Since getting here, he was surprised his master hadn't requested of him yet or forced him for that matter. Still, it was a relief for Tony. He had a chance to warm up to him by now. He felt like... Maybe it was time. He liked this master a lot so far. Yuuzuki has been very good to him, treated him like a person and not an object. Tony had never been so pampered in his life... and now... He honestly felt like he could- for once -look forward to what may come next, in the future as well. "..whatever you would like." Tony could be very easily swayed if coaxed or teased into it. He has to be eased into it, so to speak.

Silas chuckles while standing up from the chair. "Pet, what I would decide on I doubt you're ready for." He states simply in a mild tone. Patting the other on the head he hums for a moment in thought. "Instead we'll just lay on the couch and watch a movie." Walking by the other, he leads the way back out to the living room and waves towards the closet. "Go get a blanket while I put something on."

 

Settling on the couch so he's laid out along the length of the couch, while propped up against the arm rest, he goes through the movies with the remote before settling on some random action comedy. When Tony joins him, he arranges them so that the albino is laying partially on top with the blanket wrapped around them. Once settled he starts the movie.

 

Absently he runs his fingers through the other's hair, not really watching the movie or having other motives, but just drifting and letting himself relax. Soon Silas is lightly drifting, not asleep just yet, but feeling warm and relax as he pets the smaller male. For him that isn't something that has happened in a long time, and his profession doesn't exactly allow for or encourage many close relationships. Not even within the family.

 

By the time the movie is over, Silas has almost fallen asleep but manages to rouse himself to look down at Tony. "Are you awake pet? It's getting close to dinner time." He states quietly while taking care to not move too much should the other have fallen asleep.

[Exellda]

One thing is for certain, his master was smart. Silas had done a great job pointing out that he probably wasn't ready. But he didn't even ask, or give Tony a chance to deny him, rather, he instead chose a simpler route. He felt conflicted over it, whether he was ready or not, he knew he had a job to do. He both wanted to pursue the topic and to let it drop. For now, he dropped it. His master didn't allow him much time to talk about it right now anyway.

 

A movie sounded nice. Tony could barely remember the last time he watched a movie, let alone with his master. There's a clear excitement that takes over him when he leaves to grab a blanket. The albino returns, seeing that his master selected a movie and settles in close. The male is not nearly as hesitant as he was when he first arrived. It is clear that Tony has taken a liking to Silas by the mere fact that he chose to lay with him - on him - during the movie. Tony watches the movie, but he's also leaning into his master as much as he can, within reason and comfort. The position allows Tony to press his ear into his master's chest, hearing his heartbeat. Hearing that along with his master running his hand through his hair would have put him to sleep- had he not taken a small nap earlier. The albino was wide awake for the movie, watching it, and occasionally thinking about his master... What he wanted to say, and whether he should say it or not.

 

Eventually, the movie comes to an end and by now, his master had been so close to sleeping. Tony had only got a glance, but his master looked so peaceful. Maybe he was tired and more stressed than he realized. Usually Tony often worried for himself so much that he hardly worried about the others around him. It was... different... Like a breath of fresh air. The albino blinks and looks up at his master who is calling him. Tony is very comfortable where he is right now, but things must be done.

 

So instead of moving to get off, Tony moves to sit up a little, slightly scooting closer to his masters face. In this position he looks down at his master who seems to be coming out of his drowsiness. "Master..?" He says at first, "I thought I mentioned it before but... I find you very attractive, do you know that?" Let's see where this conversation goes. "I feel that it should go without saying that I have put some trust in you since we've met." One of his hands slide up and in an almost curious manner Tony starts to touch Silas' face. "I... am thankful... grateful... and relieved... and I appreciate that you're so kind to me, gentle, and taking your time with me." His master was being very understanding with his trauma.

 

"And I know I might not..." Tony paused, "The easiest person... or pet. I am glad you seem to respect my boundaries... However..." Tony shifts, sitting up and straddling his master's lap, crossing his arms over his chest. "You doubted that I was ready and, I just want to say- you were right and wrong." Of course he isn't just going to say that and not back it up. "I would have liked to opportunity to have said 'no' or 'yes'. What you would have decided didn't matter. Hearing you say it, matters to me. I know you said I could decide, but I was genuinely curious to see what you would want from me first-" For a moment there he pouted, and then he picked it up again. "Even if I wasn't ready- I guess I at least want the option- a choice."

 

Tony isn't sure if he's explaining this right, but he's kind of blabbing about it now. "Besides-" His hands go to his hips, "I would like to think I'm the kind of guy who, with some teasing, can be talked into anything. And some things I may not need any teasing. If you wanted a blow job, you could have just asked. Hand job, okay. Thigh fucking- Does that interest you?" And then he huffs, "And yes, I would probably have sex with you but- and maybe I am not ready for it, I don't know. But What I do know is that you gave up before trying. So long as I'm consenting, I'll go with pretty much anything. And I am sure you'll find out very quickly if I don't want to do something." He explains, not really having a plan afterwards. "At least for a first time- or in general, persistence, but also patience can be rewarded greatly."

 

"That said, of course you can touch me, play, fondle- and so on. I'm your pet. Not only that, but I'll tell you if I don't wish to be messed with. I respect your boundaries, you respect mine. So if you're busy with work or something and don't want to be bothered, it's fine if you tell me to leave. I won't take it personally, so long as you don't suddenly start treating me like shit." Tony doesn't talk a lot, often. When he does talk a lot, it's usually something that's been brewing on his mind and feels that it should be expressed out loud- that is, if the situation makes it possible. "U-uh, I know I kind of went on a long tangent, but... Are we eating here?" Is he cooking tonight? Tony assumed they would eat at home. They were much too comfortable to go out right now.

[StainedCrimson]

As the other begins to speak, Silas blinks away the lingering drowsiness before raising an eyebrow as his pet begins to ramble and rant a bit. Well now, this is unexpected. However... Suddenly sitting up, he grabs hold of the albino's chin gently, but firmly. "That's all well and good you think that pet, but remember. No matter how kind or thoughtful I've been to you, I am still the master. My decisions will always come first and foremost, regardless of how you think or feel about them." He states while maintaining eye contact.

 

Without seeming to blink he leans in closer. "Sometimes those decisions will make you happy, scared, upset, or confused. As my pet it is not your place to argue or fight me about them. Nor will I tolerate that, but I will listen to to your concerns and wishes provided you tell me them respectfully and when appropriate." It wouldn't do for Tony to do such in front of business associates or rivals after all. "All that aside, should I start seeing more of this playful and teasing side of you then I may be willing to play with you more." He suddenly grins and nips Tony's lip before standing up and dumping the other on the couch.

 

As he stands and stretches, Silas muses over the question for dinner. "Yes, we will be eating at home. I don't feel like going out again today." He states after a moment while keeping an eye on the other out of his peripheral. "Go ahead and get started on dinner. After we'll go for a walk or sit out in the yard before settling down for the night." With that he lifts Tony off of the couch, sets him on his feet, turns him towards the kitchen and sends the albino on his way with a playful smack to the ass.

 

Laughing softly to himself, Silas then folds up the blanket before shutting off the TV and putting it away. With nothing else to do until dinner is ready, he gets a book and sits down to read to pass the time.

[Exellda]

His master sure was a tease, now that he was getting a glimpse of this side of him. The albino pouted a little when he found himself suddenly on the couch. One of his hands went to his lips, lightly brushing over them as his master talked more. He was just taking this all in, everything his master said was not taken lightly, of course. He was okay with staying home for dinner. Honestly, Tony was peopled out. He was looking forward to alone time with his master, and the simple thought of looking forward to it was definitely something that didn't happen often.

 

Silas sends him off to the kitchen and Tony covers his buttocks momentarily, a light blush flushing over his cheeks as he left. Once entering the kitchen, he focused now on the task at hand. It would be no good if he tried cooking while distracted with his thoughts. And so, the albino looked about the kitchen, exploring it's contents and not having the slightest idea what he should make for dinner. He stills, thinking about what he should make before settling on something simple. He felt a little hungry by now, and so he thought it would be wise to make something that wouldn't take several hours.

 

Tony ends up putting on an apron, then pushes up his sleeves. Tony begins to move about the kitchen, grabbing whatever utensils or cookware he would need. Then, he reached into the fridge and then the cabinets to get whatever ingredients he would need. Tony readies the rice first seeing as it would need to cook. While that is heating, Tony preps the veggies. He seems to know his way around a knife enough to cut the veggies nice and quick. And because he had just enough time, he decided to cut some salmon into chunks and thinly sliced pieces. The albino is cutting away at the fish slowly until the rice is done. Setting aside the rice to cool, he finishes what he was doing. Next up is the seaweed, which, by now the rice had cooled enough to use. In the end, Tony manages to make four sushi rolls which cut to make six rolls each, four salmon sashimi rolls, there's left over rice as well. Tony brews some tea, and while that heats, he plates the meal for the both of them, grabs the soy sauce, two saucers, two cups, chopsticks... On each plate there is a little bit of wasabi and ginger set to the side. A third plate is there filled with the excess sushi.

 

The albino went ahead and set the table for the both of them. "Dinner is served." He says loud enough so his master can hear him. There he stands, proudly in an apron, while awaiting his master.
