( that gets a smile. scott wonders why he gets touched over such strange things, but he supposes this is what his life's become. )

For what it's worth, I want to be good for you, too.

But you're already doing a pretty great job, Hope.

[howyoupunch]

[ Another pause. ]

What are you doing, Scott.

[tictacs]

I think it's called "honestly talking about my feelings".

[howyoupunch]

Then I'm confused. I know I'm great, but what exactly am I doing a pretty good job of?

[tictacs]

Not ruining what you have with the "nice guy" that I apparently am.

I don't know, I just--don't want you to worry. About that.

Because it sounded like you were, a little bit.

[howyoupunch]

Oh don't put it in quotes that makes it look worse.

The word I would use is concerned.

You don't need to do anything that you don't want to do just because you've found out that I'm maybe a little kinkier than you thought.

[tictacs]

Yeah, Hope. I know you're weak to me. It's okay.

But there's also that possibility that I'm curious about it

[howyoupunch]

Curious about what exactly? Because if you're curious about how much of a beating you can take we can definitely keep that in the gym. And you already know the answer to that anyway, which seems to be a lot.

[tictacs]

I'm taking that as a compliment

But no it just

Trust right? It involves a lot of trust?

For lack of a better word the thought of that makes me uh

happy

[howyoupunch]

Trust and a degree of masochism.

[ There's a decently sized pause, as she thinks this over. ]

How much do you trust me? And what do you think you would be into?

[tictacs]

If you were telling me how to dismantle a bomb and told me to cut a wire, I'd cut it

And also, really weird--probably saying something about my past and trauma and so on--but

cuffs?

[howyoupunch]

[ Oh wow Scott, you really know how to make a girl fall in love with you, so son of a bitch. ]

That's not that weird.

[ Another pause. ]

We're going to need a safe word.

[tictacs]

How do you pick a good one?

( because, yeah, he's serious. )

[howyoupunch]

Something easy to say quickly, easy to distinguish from groaning and not likely to come up during sex on it's own. Shorter is better.

[tictacs]

Orange?

Oranges will probably never come up during sex, right?

[howyoupunch]

As long as you're not secretly into food related things then orange should be fine.

My last one was wingspan so I'm going to stick with it, though I'm pretty sure with what you're asking I won't be needing it.

[tictacs]

We'll work our way up.

I am kind of hoping to be able to work our way up.

[howyoupunch]

We'll start with me tying you up and go from there. Maybe I'll even pull your hair if you're good.

[tictacs]

Jesus

( warmth prickles on scott's neck like nothing else. )

That's yeah. Yeah let's do that.

God I'll try to be good.

[howyoupunch]

Will you? Because I'm not so sure that you know how to be good, Scott. You're going to have to prove it.

[tictacs]

We can all agree that so far I have never let you down, can't we?

[howyoupunch]

Rule number one. Play along, Scott.

[tictacs]

What?

Oh.

That wa

Oh my God I get it now.

[howyoupunch]

Maybe do some reading before we actually do this. Believe it or not I don't actually like upsetting you.

[tictacs]

I'm not upset so much as blushing at the thought of being naughty.
