A Darker Descent

Elusive-

Journal entry #250

Berryswainer and I have set up another date! Oh my, I don't believe I've ever been quite so excited for anything. I have read back over some of my previous entries and I must say, I'm quite surprised at how quickly this all fell into place. I know at one point I thought that surely if I were like this I would never give into it. I guess I surprise even myself. I wish I could make the night go by faster, as tomorrow seems to be taunting me by every tick of my clock. It's almost the first hours of tomorrow, and if it ever reaches then I doubt I'll get any sleep at all. I can't believe after a full week that everything is still so exciting, that nothing is numbing. It's like there is no way I could get tired of this. Well, I suppose I should try to get some sleep. I couldn't live with myself if I wasn't wide awake for him.~ Lil' Sir Elusive

Berryswainer's Diary- Oh me and Elusive have had so much fun these past ten days! The absolute BEST days of my life! I have a date planned for me and him, and I know he'll enjoy it. I haven't thrown a party in awhile, but this private celebration will be more fun than any traditional party could ever be. - Berryswainer Amadeus Bubble.

The sun rises on a fairly busy morning rush by store owners to get their supplies, and a much more manic pony in his shop working hard to get his orders worked through. Elusive smiles at his work , more impressed by his new-found ability with multitasking than his  time. His date was still more than two hours away and here he had already finished all his orders for the day. He thought for a moment and decided to do inventory. It had been some time since he'd done it, so he felt it may be good to do while he had some time.

Within an hour he had double-checked inventory, organized his entire boutique, drawn out eight new designs for dresses and ten for tuxedos, and found himself in the middle of a conversation with Onyx over the differing aesthetics of pony culture. In truth, he was beyond bored. He'd never been so efficient before. His mind was usually stressed and clouded when deadlines loomed, but lately it was so clear that it was hard to find himself taking more than an hour sewing together full suits. He finally decided he ought to get to work on a new wardrobe for himself. He wasn't sure what would change just yet, and the thought of it made him happy, it meant he would have something to occupy him for a while.

Berryswainer walked through Ponyville casually smiling to everyone that passed, getting a few strange stares still over his mane, though most ponies were already getting used to it. His smile turned to a wide grin as he approached the Carousel Boutique. He had a very special day planned with Elusive, but he figured it would be okay with Elusive if he showed up a little early. He went to knock, but noticed the door was cracked. Normally this was an invitation, so it took little convincing for Berryswainer to simply open the door and walk in, though he was sure to close and lock it behind him.

Elusive sat, reading his newest book as he made the finishing touches to his second garment since beginning his project. He was a bit embarrassed to call these part of his newest ensemble, but was well beyond pleased with how they turned out. He'd not heard a sound as his friend stepped in and leaned against the wall behind him, and was entirely unaware of the voyeur as he changed into his first outfit to see how it looked.

The leather was snug, and hardly a thing like what he was used to wearing. He figured a corset would be an easy starting point for leather work, but he knew he would just die if he knew anyone ever saw him in this. He made it a perfect fit, and his activities lately made sure he had the right build for it. The one thing he liked was the new pair of pants he'd fashioned. They were slim fitting in a way he had never been able to manage with regular cloth.

"Well well, somepony sure knows what looks good on him." Berryswainer's words made Elusive jump and turn too quickly to keep his balance, sending him stumbling to the floor. His face flushed a deep red as his friend approached.

"B-berryswainer. H-how long have you been there?" Elusive managed a smile, embarrassed beyond belief at his position.

Berryswainer smiled and chuckled. "Oh, long enough. So, when were you planning on showing me your new outfit?" He knelt beside Elusive, letting the new knife teasingly trace along his neck just too lightly to break the skin.

Elusive sharply inhaled as his blush seemed to worsen. "Oh, you're n-not fair, darling. You are a horrible tease at times."

"Says the pony in self-made lengerie." Berryswainer smiled a bit wider at seeing his friend already so far along without even getting hurt yet. "Are you really just that eager? Or maybe you have other reasons?" He chuckled.

"Wh-what do you mean other reasons?" Elusive thought for a moment and remembered a part in the book where there was a mention of humiliation. As soon as the memory surfaced, his face lit up as red as it could. "N-no way. I can NOT like that, no no no no no no no NO!"

Berryswainer raised an eyebrow, tilting Elusive's chin with the blade. "What can't you like, Elusive?" He chuckled. "We BOTH know you enjoy this activity." He playfully traces the cold steel over the unicorn's lips, pricking his lower lip slightly.

Elusive shivered as he looked up to the earth pony, his cheeks still red as he tried to figure out the best way to express his sudden outburst. He collected his thoughts, about all he could collect of himself in this position, and took a deep breath. "I read in the book that some ponies like me also enjoy, well, other things besides just pain. One of them was, well..." The unicorn trailed off, his cheeks lighting back up before he gulped and forced himself to finish. "Some ponies also enjoy being h-humiliated." With that, the blushing pony turned his head to the right, leaving his finally nearly healed black eye facing up.

"Well, you ARE in mare's lingerie, so there might be something to the idea that you enjoy it." Berryswainer bent down to lick at Elusive's cheek. "Because the embarrassment seems to add to your excitement my dearest Elusive." He smirked rather playfully.

Elusive shivered once more, this time the action joined by a soft sigh as he felt his friend's tongue against his cheek. "S-so, you really think that, that I might like it? That I would enjoy being, h-humiliated?" The unicorn flushed with the last word, biting his lower lip and wincing from touching the fresh cut, the pain sending a chill down his spine. "H-how would we find out? You know, for sure?"

"Well... We want to start out small. I mean, we can't just parade you around in this outfit. Your reputation would be ruined, and that would hurt your business. We need to be smart..." Berryswainer thought and soon a sadistic grin spread across his face. "I have the PERFECT idea!"

Elusive couldn't help but bite his lip again, groaning softly from the pain and biting a bit harder before smiling. "Whatever you wish, darl-" He paused briefly before giving a devious smirk, hoping to cause a little surprise. "I mean, Master."

Berryswainer grinned. "You must have read my mind, as that title relates to the plan!" He forced Elusive to his knees, binding the unicorn's hands behind him and to his ankles, ensuring he could not stand. He then placed one of Onyx's larger collars around the bound stallion's neck. "I'll be right back!" He left, bouncing and giggling manically.

Elusive spent a moment taking in his position. He was bound to his knees, dressed in lingerie meant for a mare, with a collar about his rather slender neck meant for a cat. He had to bite his lip again, doing so for a situation which the very act only worsened, for he had found the downside to using leather for slim pants. They had no give in the area they desperately needed to at the moment.

Elusive heard the door to the boutique open after a time, Berryswainer's voice noticeably in the middle of a conversation. The unicorn listened closer and could tell from his speech he was barely keeping himself from his new sadistic laugh, which had really grown on him. "I'm telling you Butterscotch, you'll LOVE my new pet. He's obedient and very clean."

"What breed did you say he was?"

Berryswainer let out a laugh. "Oh, you'll see."

The two entered the room where Elusive was tied up, facing the doorway. Berryswainer promptly grinned as Butterscotch nearly recoiled in shock at seeing the unicorn. Elusive was blood red, a little blood having trickled down his chin from his lip. He was panting quite heavily as he first shuddered before beginning to squirm slightly, quite apparently left mute by the situation, though a simple look just beneath his waist said he far from disliked it all, confirming to both he and Berryswainer that this was just another bit of fun to be had.

Berryswainer laughs as he walks to Elusive, bending to scratch his chin like an animal's, winking to the dumbstruck Butterscotch. "Elusive and I are... involved." He leans in to kiss the unicorn softly on his lips, Elusive almost eagerly kissing him back and sinking back a little as the earth pony pulled away. "As you can plainly tell, we are far from normal, and I must confess, I brought you here to confirm one of Elusive's unusual interests." He hugs Butterscotch but quickly pulls away with a blush at realizing he was also excited by the whole thing, Elusive letting out a soft, low growl at his friend embracing Butterscotch. After realizing what he'd done, his own blush worsens.

Butterscotch stares blankly for a moment, letting everything sink in. After a few seconds, he steps towards Elusive and curiously pets the unicorn. He is rewarded with a far from civilized bark from the usually highly classy Elusive, and returned it with a smile. "That's a good pony, good boy."

Berryswainer chuckled. "Now this IS interesting. I'm intrigued."

Butterscotch chuckles softly as he looks Elusive over, stopping just past his waist with a smile and a slight blush before looking to Berryswainer. "I can only assume that your pet is very interested?"

Berryswainer grins. "He very much enjoys being a pet, as much as I enjoy owning him. We trust you'll keep this quiet? We don't want word getting out."

Butterscotch smiles and nods. "Oh, of course. Such a pet can't be put at risk, now." He stands and walks to the earth pony. "Though, do feel free to let me know if you every need somepony to watch him for you." He winks.

"Why Butterscotch, how very forward of you! I never would have expected." He laughs a little and smiles. "Now, if you would excuse me, I'd prefer some... private play time with my pet." He winked as well.

Butterscotch nodded and headed out, locking the boutique as he left.

Elusive looked up to his friend, still obviously embarrassed, but seeming much more playful than before.

"Now Elusive, about that growl." Berryswainer walked forward and pushed Elusive to his back, cutting him for his jealous display, the knife soon lay forgotten, however, as sadism gave way to a much more universal, though equally carnal, desire.

Elusive-

Journal entry #251

Today was very... interesting. I must say it was both the most enjoyable and least dignified day of my life. I have never called Berryswainer Master before, not have I been exactly, well, punished, by him before. I never thought how the two things would feel, but I think, I think I couldn't have possibly imagined how much I truly loved it. I doubt I could make myself call him that again in person, but... well, it is much shorter to write. The punishment though, it felt different from the rest of his efforts to harm me. Usually, he will keep it very shallow, very slow and calculated, trying to get a reaction from me while he has his fun, but this was entirely different. It reminded me of our first time opening up about all this, that punch, how it didn't feel as, well, intense, I guess, as when it was in a more aggressive setting. He was sure not to cut too deep, true, but it was far from calm. I felt his heart in every cut. With every motion that broke my skin, it felt like he owned me, like he was making sure I knew. Speaking of owning, I guess he truly does now. I still haven't taken off the collar. I honestly can't believe I was jealous over a hug. I mean, I growled. I GROWLED! Why does everything I enjoy lately seem so wrong but feel so blissfully, amazingly right?! Why can't I just surrender to myself like Master? He doesn't even question when I act up, or when I think I've sunken even deeper, he just lets it happen. Of course, now I believe he'll be punishing me for acting up. Hmmm, maybe I will tomorrow. I think I'm sure enough in this by now, so it seems about time I try something without thinking it to death. I just really hope Butterscotch doesn't have any issue keeping things secret. Not that I don't trust him, but it isn't exactly a little secret, I mean, the wrong eyes could easily think it as an abusive relationship. Oh my, he doesn't truly think Master is malicious in his abuse, does he? No, no way he could think that Master would do it with such intent. Now that I've time to think again, it feels like I've forgotten something, like an important meeting. Wait, Canterlot... Dear Solaris! I've got a fashion show to attend! I'd entirely forgotten! Oh dear, what will Master think? What will he say? Will he hate me for having to leave? Oh my, what will the other mares and gentlecolts think  if they see me with a blackened eye, or cuts all about me? What will come of my business? I'll be out of a job, and then where will I turn, what will I do? I have to go, I've too much to think about, how will I tell Master? Oh, this is just the absolute WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!~ Lil' Sir Elusive

Berryswainer- This "humiliation" fetish of Elusive's is extremely fun. He's so adorable in his collar! And it's so fun making him squirm. I've been thinking, and I think I should ask Elusive to be my official colt-friend. After all, if it feels like love, looks like love, and acts like love, it must be love right? If he says yes, it will be the absolute BEST, POSSIBLE, THING! Huh, funny, that sounds like something Elusive would say. Ah well, I plan to ask him next time we're intimate, so if, no, WHEN he says yes, I can cut a heart into his chest, above his, as a sign of our love. Well, Gummette is chewing at my leg, so I better go and feed her. I'm so excited! - Berryswainer Amadeus Bubble.
