Let's summon demons (closed)

Bryn snickered and leaned up for a kiss. "Never. You just have to accept the fact that you're completely adorable."

"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, Sebastian." Bryn kissed him back, slowly tangling his hands in his human's hair. "And I think you're very beautiful."

Bryn gave him a sharp smile when he blushed, pleased that he'd managed to fluster his human with a few well-deserved compliments. He leaned up against Sebastian with a self-satisfied hum. "Good!"

Bryn sighed, pressing closer to Sebastian with a quiet whine. "Do we have to?"

Bryn leaned into him with another whine, kissing slowly up Sebastian's jaw in a bid to distract him. "C'mon sweetheart, just stay with me for a little longer. Lemme love on you."

Bryn whined wrapping his arms around Sebastian's neck with a pout. "Can't we just stay here for a little while? I don't want to… to be collared again. I don't wanna have to stop touching you."

Bryn slipped into his lap immediately, wrapping his legs around Sebastian's waist and curling up against the boy's chest. He let out a mournful sigh. "I wish we could," he murmured, face buried in Sebastian's neck. "I don't wanna have to face the world yet."

Bryn sighed and tilted his head up so Sebastian caught him on the lips, pulling away a few seconds later. "Yeah. I… I get it. Let's get all dolled up for your friend."

Bryn scrunched up his nose. "Nah, go for a less wrinkled one," he suggested, stepping into the green romper Sebastian had seemed to like earlier. He groped around the other boxes when he was done, finally landing on the tiny black box that held his new collar and leash. "You'll look more formal."

Bryn looked down at it with a strange mix of dread and determination. He didn't dare crack open the lid to peek even though he knew the damn thing was harmless, just bit his lip nervously and handed it over to Sebastian with a shaky breath. "Yeah. Could you…?"

It was a simple thing, little more than a thin metal band with an obvious lock on the front and a little hook for the black silk leash. It was as comfortable as any collar he'd seen and far less gaudy than most, but he still felt like he was choking as it clicked into place around his throat. Panic bubbled through him, hot and fizzy and a lot closer to shame that he'd like. "S-Sebastian?"

Bryn all but collapsed into his chest, wrapping his arms weakly around his human's neck with a soft shuddering breath. He hid away from the world, face pressed into Sebastian's shoulder until the only things that existed were comforting arms and a person who loved him. Until he could almost ignore the collar, cold and heavy around his neck. "I hate this," he whispered.

Bryn sighed mournfully and snuggled closer. "Promise?" His voice was small. His eyes peered up at Sebastian warily, scanning his face for any sign of uncertainty.

Bryn pursed his lips and then, after a few moments of soft silence, leaned up to kiss him gently. "We're gonna be okay, right? No matter what happens at this lunch today?"

Bryn whined when Sebastian pulled away, leaning into each kiss like it might be their last. He kept his arms around the human's neck. He couldn't bear to pull away. Not yet. "I love you."
