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.

Adorably Dark

Scooter and Silver Belle approached the door to the Carousel boutique with their usual youthful energy. Upon reaching the door, however, Scooter stopped, a bit nervous. "Wait, Silver, are you sure your big brother won't mind us playing in the Boutique? I don't wanna get another lecture."

Silver rolls his eyes. "Yeah yeah yeah, don't worry about it Scoots. Besides, what Elusive doesn't know won't hurt him."

Scooter raised an eyebrow but sighed and smiled. "Yeah, I guess you're right, Silv." He chuckles a bit before looking to see a book lying on the ground. "Wait, what the hay is that?"

Silver looks back and levitates the book over, earning a disapproving grunt from Scooter as well as a mumbled 'Show off'. Silver shrugged it off as the two looked at the title. "What kind of book is this?"

"I don't have a clue. That's a really weird name for a book, don't you think?"

Silver gasped and smiled. "Hey, maybe it's a horror story!"

Scooter's eyes widened as he smiled. "Whoa, we've GOT to read this. Let's go and set up a fort. We can get a flashlight and turn out everything else! I'm sure Elusive has something we can use."

Silver nodded as he opened the door and the two colts rushed in. "He won't mind us using some fabric. You get the flashlight and I'll set up the fort."

"Can do!" Scooter rushed to find a flashlight while Silver Belle worked to set up a fort of fabric before turning out all the lights. Scooter hurried over to the fort and crawled in. "Ooh, this is gonna be good!"

Silver levitated the light and turned it on as he read the title in his best spooky voice he could. "Blood and Desire: a Sadist's Guidebook" He opened it to chaper one and began reading, though he stopped before long, looking confusedly with Scooter at the pages. "Wait, this isn't a story!"

"Yeah, but then what is it?" Scooter kept reading a little longer before his eyes spring open and he nearly leaps back. "Whoa! What the HAY kinda book it this?!"

"What? What did it say, Scoot?"

"I-it's t-talking about things like c-c-cutting another pony, and whipping them, f-f-for fun!" The pegasus panted softly as his wings remained extended behind him, twitching very slightly.

Silver blushed a little as he pointed to them. "Uh... Scooter, your uh, your wings are acting funny."

Scooter looked back as his face lit up bright red. "Dear Solaris! What the buck is going on?!"

"Scooter! We do not use the Princes' names like that!" With a glare, Silver send a weak blast from his horn at his friend, zapping him and sending him tumbling out of the fort.

"Ow! Hey, th-that hurt Silver." His blush remained, his wings also remaining extended as he sat there, his 'gears' turning in his head as he started to process what just happened.

Silver let out a somewhat self-rightous 'humph' from within the fort. "Serves you right for using that language!"

Scooter didn't reply, but instead merely sat up in place as he stared at the fort.

Silver came from the fort and walked to Scooter, looking a bit worried. "Hey... are you okay buddy?"

Scooter's blush grew a bit worse as he knew his wings were still up, now knowing why they were. "O-oh, heheh. Uh, yeah, it's cool Silv. I'm just, thinking."

"About...?"

"Well, ya know, just well..." He flushed further, unsure how to explain something he barely understood himself, though for lack of better words, he simply decided to be blunt. "I think I kinda liked it, ya know, when you zapped me?"

Silver blushed, confused in a number of ways. "Wait, what, now?"

"Hey, look, I'm just as confused as you are, okay? I mean, it's weird, it hurt, like, kinda bad, but it kinda didn't too, like it felt kinda good, I guess. Ya know what I mean? Like it hurt, but it didn't."

"I have no idea what you're talking about. I've never felt that." He flushed a bit, thinking over the idea and remembering what happened. "Although, well, it did feel, you know, kind of, um, fun, to uh, to zap you." He looked away and kicked his hoof on the floor shyly.

Scooter inched back a little. "Wait wait wait wait wait wait! There's no way we ACTUALLY liked that, right? I mean, that'd just be kinda messed up, wouldn't it?"

"Well, I mean, other ponies like it too. Plus, it's common enough for at least somepony to write a book on it, so it can't be that bad, right?"

Scooter blushed and looked away, his attention being drawn to a few things in the now dark room that he'd missed before, a small notebook over all else. "Hold on a sec, what's that over there?"

"Oh, that's Elusive's journal, I think. He must have left it behind."

"Oh yeah, that's right, he left for Canterlot, didn't he?" The pegasus thought briefly before smiling and jumping to his feet before rushing over to the journal and holding it up. "We gotta read this while we can!"

Silver hesitates for a moment before sighing. "Okay, but if he finds out, I'm denying everything."

"Oh don't be such a chicken! He won't find out if we put it back." He smiled as he opened it up to a random page, reading about a slow day at work before getting bored and moving further in, soon finding himself in the 200's of the entries. After a very short time, his face flushed as his wings sprung to attention. "Whoa... Uh, Silver, you're not going to believe this."

The unicorn looked over his friend's shoulder. "What is it?!"

"First off, if I may say so, your brother has beautiful hoofwriting, but second, he and Bubble Berry got into a fight and he apparently enjoyed getting hit!"

"Oh yeah, I think I remember when they were fighting. Huh. That explains why they spend so much time together now."

Scooter blinks, looking to his friend. "Seriously? That's all you have to say about finding out that your brother enjoys being hurt, while you're pretty much entirely the opposite?"

"Living with Elusive, you learn to just take everything without getting too surprised. It helps deal with his 'Oh, woe is me!' moments."

Scooter blinks again. "You have a valid point. Though, now I wonder about Bubble."

Silver looks around and notices a pink book under the bed. "Why is there a book there?" He pulls it out and looks at it. "Hey, I think this is Bubble Berry's journal."

Scooter tilts his head to figure out why it would be there his face flushing as his wings fluff out when the thought of them in the same bed crosses his mind. "Ah, for buck's sake!"

Silver giggles a bit. "Wings giving you trouble?"

Scooter growls and gives Silver a quick jab to the shoulder. "Shut up. Just read the stupid thing."

He shoves Scooter back and chuckles. "Alright alright I will." He opens it. "... I mean, if I can read the thing. Bubble doesn't exactly have delicate caligraphy."

Scooter laughs loudly, falling to the floor and gripping his sides. "Dear Solaris, what a perfect couple!"

"What did I say about that language?!" He zaps the pegasus again.

"Ouch! Hey!" He blushed. "Knock that off already. You know it makes me feel weird."

"Then don't make me use it again." He starts reading the journal until he gets to a more relevant entry. After reading it he whistles. "Bubble Berry is craaaaaazy!"

Scooter stands up and looks at the entry. "What in Equestria are you talking about?" He reads it and slowly looks up to Silver, backing away a bit.

"Yeah, he's gone completely loopy."

Scooter grabs a ruler and pokes Silver's cheek softly. "You're not crazy too, are you?"

Silver smiles and chuckles. "Nah, don't worry, I'm not crazy." He grins. "Or am I?" He playfully tackles his friend, pinning him, Scooter letting him as he feigns helplessness.

"Oh no, I've got a crazy colt on top of me and I can't fight back! What will I do?!" He laughs briefly, but as he looks to Silver on top of him, the laugh fades as his blush returns.

Silver bites Scooter's neck playfully, following it with a playful growl. "Grrr you have no way to escape."

Scooter blushes more as he bites his lip a bit. "Heheh, uh, yeah. Uh, hey, maybe we should go outside, huh?" He chuckled nervously.

Silver cocked his head to the side. "Is something wrong Scoots? Why are you blushing?"

The pegasus simply flushed worse still, now having trouble finding a suitable excuse. "O-oh, uh, you know, I uh, I'm..." He blinks as he comes up with an idea. "I'm allergic to biting?" He chuckles and smiles nervously."

Silver raises and eyebrow. "Scooter..." His horn sparks somewhat threateningly. "Tell me the REAL reason.

Scooter gulped as his mind whirled about, trying to decide whether or not to tell, and amidst it all, letting slip two words he knew immediately after that he would regret speaking. "Make me."

A grin slowly creeps onto SIlvers face until it spans from ear to ear. On a strange impulse, he replied: "If you insist." With that, the unicorn zapped his friend for a few full seconds, letting loose the longest bolt he'd ever managed.

Scooter groaned out, panting rather hard after it, looking up to Silver with now flushing cheeks. "I-I think, I think I really do l-like it. M-maybe even..." He panted still, his mind boggled by thoughts he could barely understand.

"Maybe even what?!" The unicorn impatiently yelled.

Scooter stared almost blankly at his friend for a moment before reaching up and pulling him into a brief kiss before pulling away, flushing furiously. "Y-y-y-you..." He stuttered.

Silver simply stared, eyes wide, mouth agape, his normally marshmallow white cheeks hot and red. "I- d- jus- wh-" He struggled to form a sentence.

Scooter, again feeling it best to just go with what he felt was right, shoved his friend's arms out from under him and pulled him down into another, longer kiss. After pulling away he smiled softly. "Okay, not a maybe on that last one. Sorry."

Silver giggles incoherently at first before pulling himself together and blushing. "M-maybe we could, uh, get our cutiemarks by being coltfriends?"

Scooter blushes and chuckles. "Well, I don't see what we have to lose." He smiles but soon blushes again. "Uh, just one thing, Silver... Um, what exactly do coltfriends DO?"

"Oh that's easy!" He nuzzles Scooter. "They cuddle and snuggle and go on dates, basically everything we do as Cutiemark Crusaders, just with more hugging and kissing and we start doing lots of stuff with just the two of us."

Scooter chuckles and holds Silver close. He then grins and whispers. "So, could we maybe kiss again? I really liked that part." He then blushed as he looked away some.

Silver smiles and blushes. "S-sure." He pulls his friend close, tenderly running a hand through his purple mane as he tenderly kisses Scooter, his eyes closing as he does, Scooter soon eases into the kiss, closing his eyes as well. It doesn't last long, however, as moments into the kiss the Boutique door opens as Berryswainer walks inside.

"Anypony home? I forgot my journal an- Whoa! I didn't realize I was interrupting anything."

Scooter jumped, his wings reacting and giving him quite an extra, unexpected push that nearly sends him into a wall as he pants, his fairly thin shirt obviously burnt from his getting zapped.

Berryswainer raises an eyebrow. "What have you two been up to, here?"

Silver glances to Scooter. "Er-, n-nothing, Bubble Berry!"

Scooter chuckled nervously and put on an obvious fake smile. "Y-yeah, ya know, just, just uh, playing around in the Boutique. Heh, heh."

Berryswainer sees his journal. "You foals didn't touch my journal, did you?" He picks it up and looks to the colts. "Okay, seriously, what happened? I promise I won't tell. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

Scooter bit his lip, looking to Silver for a second before sighing. He takes a deep breath and begins telling the whole story in as few breaths as possible. "Okay, so Silver and me were on our way to the Boutique to play around for the day and just hang out since AB is busy working with AJ, so we got here and we saw a book on the ground, so we picked it up and looked at it and thought it was a scary story so we came in and made a fort and got a flashlight and started reading it, only it wasn't a story, and I read a little further and saw it was a book about hurting ponies and I stumbled back and blushed and my wings went up for some reason but I couldn't figure out why and I took Solaris's name in vain, so Silver zapped me with his horn. It wasn't a big one or anything but it hurt, but it didn't hurt too and it was weird and so I told him and he said he kinda liked zapping me and I saw Elusive's journal and I read it and read about you two and your fight and I told Silver Belle and  he wasn't surprised and explained it was because of Elusive being a drama queen and I noticed he had amazing hoofwriting and then we found yours and tried to read it and he commented on your bad hoofwriting and I laughed and took Solaris's name in vain again and he zapped me again and I told him to stop because it felt weird and he told me to stop making him and he read your journal and called you crazy and I poked him with a ruler and asked him if he was crazy and he joked around saying he might be and tackled me and I let him pin me down and he bit my neck playfully and I liked it but I didn't tell him, instead I told him that I wanted to do something else and he asked why I was blushing so I said I was allergic to biting and he growled and his horn glowed and he asked what the real reason was and I couldn't think so I told him to make me and he smiled really big and said 'If you insist.' and he zapped me really hard and for a good while and then I kissed him and told him I liked him and then we talked about how maybe being coltfriends could get us our cutiemarks and we kissed again and then again and then you came in and now I guess we're coltfriends now, but please don't hurt us, or at least not Silver, I don't know that I'll like it, but I know he won't and please just don't be mad Bubble Berry!" He takes a deep breath and braces himself as though expecting to be hit.

Berryswainer nods and looks at the two. "Huh. I kinda expected Silver to be like Elusive, but I guess I was wrong." He thinks for a moment. "I guess it's okay that you two have this relationship, just don't try anything new without advice from me or Elusive first, okay?"

Silver and Scooter jump up and rush to hug him. Scooter is the first to speak. "Oh, thank you so much for not being mad Bubble! We'll be sure to do what you said, but, well, is there anything good for newer foals to try? I kinda wanna make sure I actually like it and it's not just something weird with Silver zapping me."

Berryswainer smiles. "Trust me, most ponies wouldn't enjoy that kind of shock. This pretty much proves you're like his brother Elusive. Just be careful, okay? And don't tell anypony else. Most ponies don't really understand ponies like us."

Scooter blushes pretty badly, nodding before looking to Silver and back to Berryswainer. "Okay, Bubble. We'll be sure to be careful. But, uh, what should we do? I mean the zapping thing is all we know right now, and it's kinda messing up my clothes." He looks down in thought before gasping with inspiration. "I know! Should we just do it without clothes on?! That way we wouldn't ruin them and nopony would know!" He smiles up to Berryswainer, his eyes still beaming his childish innocence despite recents events.

Berryswainer blushed as he quickly responded. "No! No! Bad idea! Just, er, have Elusive fix them or something."

"Awe! But Elusive's gonna be gone to Cantelot for almost a month! What do we do until then?" Scooter pouted as he gave Berryswainer the best 'pitiful puppy' look he could.

Berryswainer sighed and made a choice. "Look, I've got an old knife, you guys can play with that, mkay? Just, keep it a secret, okay? If anypony finds out, you didn't get it from me, got it?" He hands Silver an old knife, the blade sharp and gleaming, both colts staring at it with wide, wondrous eyes.

Scooter pipes up quickly. "Ooh, hey, can we please use that without clothes? Huh, can we? Please?! Please please please please please please?!"

"Wh- No!" Berryswainer blushed as he awkwardly tried to explain. "Look, doing stuff without clothes is, er, only for couples who... um... love each other very much." He gives Scooter a firm look. "And I mean STALLIONS, NOT young colts like you two. You are both way too young for that."

Scooter looks defiantly at Berryswainer. "Any why not?! Silver and me are both colts. We should have about the same things under our clothes, plus we've already had to bathe together before, so even if we did we would've already noticed it before."

Berryswainer sighs. "Okay, look. Can I just be honest with you guys? If I am, not a WORD of this leaves this room, okay?"

Scooter and Silve nods eagerly. "Not a word, promise!"

Berryswainer takes a deep breath. "Okay, first of all, have your parents told you about sex?"

Scooter quickly pulled inward as he dropped his head, his mane drooping slightly. "Well, uh..."

Silver blushed. "We kinda got a crash course from AppleJack after Grandpa Smith had a senile moments and talked about things he shouldn't have."

Berryswainer sighed. "Okay, well, I don't have to explain that. Anyway, naked stuff leads to that. That's the kind of pleasure you get from these activities. Scoots, you're a masochist, you like getting hurt. Your wings stand up when you're excited, sexually. Silver, you're a sadist, like me, you like hurting other ponies."

Scooter flushes and looks up, his mane returning to normal as his wings fluff up again. "Uh..."

"So, yeah, that's why I advise against you guys doing stuff like this, wait until you're fifteen at least, or until you get your cutiemarks. Both are pretty good milestones of maturity for this."

Scooter puts his hand to his chin in thought then looks to you with his head cocked. "So, how are we supposed to play with the knife with clothes on without leaving noticeable wounds? What if Silver stays clothed and the knife doesn't go below my waist?"

Berryswainer nods. "Yeah, that'll work."

Silver grins, looking at Scooter. "Can we try it now?!"

Berryswainer hesitates. "Well... sure, I don't see why not. Better to be supervised your first time anyways."

Scooter wastes little time getting his now somewhat ragged shirt off, though he seems quite hesitant to undress further, despite his previous eagerness. "Okay, uh, you'll show him kinda what to do, right, Bubble? I mean, I just, I don't know much about all this but I know those things can be dangerous."

Berryswainer nods. "Okay, silver. Just try a straight line down the middle of his chest."

Silver walks up, lightly tracing the knife down Scooter's orange chest, gulping as he applies pressure, the blade gliding quite smoothly through his friend's skin for the small cut. The action brings Scooter to bite his lip as he holds back a moan, though his body, his wings especially, say everything there was to be said as the feathery appendages open fully behind him. Almost as though on instinct, Silver leans in and licks up the fresh blood as Berryswainer mumbles from just beside them. "I am so going to the moon for this..."

A notable 'thump' is heard from just behind Berryswainer as a very surprised Elusive stands, his suitcase on the ground, his eyes wide and mouth open wider.

Silver's eyes widen as he tries to speak before moving away from licking Scooters' chest. However, he soon jumps back and smiles sheepishly. "Er, I mean, Elusive! What a surprise!"

Berryswainer grins widely before remembering the scene. "Just for the record, I only walked in recently."

Elusive looked the scene over, recognizing the knife in Silver's hand wuite quickly before collecting himself and speaking. "I came back because something happened at the castle and the show was cancelled until further notice. Might I ask why my little brother happens to have the old knife you used on me for our first unofficial date in his hand and why he was licking up blood from a freshly cut Scooter?" He glares at everyone before seeing Scooters wings up, then raising an eyebrow. "At least one of you has a lot of explaining to do." His horn glows as he closes the door and locks it up tight. "And nopony is leaving until I get answers."

Silver steps forward. "Okay, basically, me and Scooter were playing, okay? And then I zapped him for saying something and he liked it, and I did too, so we played and I zapped him more, then we kissed several time, now we're coltfriends, then Bubble came in, explained everything, told us to be careful, and Scooterr talked him into helping us learn to do stuff that wouldn't leave obvious signs."

Elusive nodded and looked to Berryswainer. "Might I see you for a moment in the kitchen, in private?" He glared. "Master." He lifted his suitcase by hand as he walked to the kitchen, setting it down calmly and walking to wait just outside the door to it.

Berryswainer nods, honestly somewhat scared of Elusive at the time. "Uh, sure." He turned to the colts. "Don't do anything. We're in enough trouble already." He walks into the kitchen.

"Silver Belle, if scooter has one more cut or bruise on him when we get back, you are grounded. Do you understand?" Without really waiting on an answer, he walked into the kitchen. "Bubble, I swear to Solaris, if you don't teach him right, I will use you as my personal mannequin for a fortnight! Are we clear?!"

Berryswainer gulped, but soon looked confused. "You, uh, you want me to teach him?"

The unicorn grabbed a nearby pair of scissors, breaking them and holding one of the blades to the earth pony's face as he glared. "If my little brother is like you, I expect you to help him out, but if I find even ONE cut or bruise on him after your teachings you will be standing like a statue and hoping my aim with a needle is as accurate with live ponies as it is with my usual stands. Now are we clear?"

Berryswainer gulped and nodded. "Crystal."

Elusive immediately brightened up, smiling widely as he slammed the blade nearly an inch into his hardwood counter top. "Good, now should we get some privacy for my welcome home session or shall we take the opportunity to give them some better experience?"

Berryswainer jumps a bit at the action. "First, have I ever told you how very very scary you can be? And secondly, I think we should teach them." He hears something from the other room and walks to check on it. "You aren't planning on grounding him for making out, are you?"

"First, no, you haven't but then it's never been much worth noting until now, and secondly, no, but tell them I want them in here now." He levitates the other blade as he takes a seat on the table.

Berryswainer calls out to them to come into the kitchen. The two rather quickly end their kissing session before walking into the kitchen, licking their lips of each other.

As the two come into the doorway, Elusive sends the blade flying directly between their head, slightly grazing Scooter's cheek and leaving a very small cut. "Ouch! What the Hay was that for?" The pegasus yelled out, his face turning red from more than just the light trickle of crimson from the cut.

"Elusive, are you crazy?!" Silver Belle yelled before hugging Scooter and kissing the cut on his cheek.

Elusive let out a giggle before standing up. "Oh, maybe a little, but at least now I know the whole coltfriend part of the story was true." He crouched and turned Silver's face to his, giving his little brother a rather firm, though brief kiss before standing back up and walking to Berryswainer. "Now then, Master has offered you both a great learning opportunity. He's decided you two are allowed to sit in on your session, and maybe even practice with us."

Berryswainer's and Scooter's jaws drop, Scooter simply staring dumbfounded as Silver tries to understand what just happened. Berryswainer is the first of them to speak. "D-did you just kiss your brother?!"

Silver quickly gathers enough mind to speak. "Wh-what exactly are we doing?" He looks between Scooter and his big brother.

Elusive grins and kisses Berryswainer lovingly. "Oh, I did, Master. He tastes rather sweet, don't you agree?" He then looks to the foals. "As for what we're doing, as soon as Berryswainer here collects himself and gives me an answer, he'll show me the session I've been needing for far too long now and that he damn well owes me right now."

Silver Belle's jaw drops as his face turns a deep red from his brother's language and comment. Before even getting a chance to respond, Berryswainer shrugs with a 'When in Rome!' type expression as kisses his coltfriend passionately and removes his shirt. "Remember, this is all PRIVATE, okay guys?" The two foals nod.

Scooter giggles and whispers to Silver. "Your brother's right about that, ya know, you do taste pretty sweet."

Silver Belle blushes darkly, swatting Scooter on the back of the head. "Oh hush you!"

Berryswainer chuckles a little as he playfully bites Elusive's lip and traces his hand over the unicorn's pants. "They're so adorable."

"Mmm, maybe too much for their own good. Though if I were you..." He gripped Berryswainers mane and pulled him closer. "I'd correct the little sadist on his treatment etiquette. I believe there are two places a sub is to be slapped and he missed them both." He grins darkly as Scooter rubbed the back of his head, getting a little scared again.

Berryswainer smirked as he caressed Elusive's cheek. "Now, Silver, you need to slap your submissive here" He pulls back and slaps Elusive hard across the face. "or here." He then roughly spanks the unicorn. "Okay?" Silver nodded as his jaw hung open, with Scooter's, both of them getting a bit aroused.

Elusive panted softly as he smirked still. "Oh come on, Bubble, I got slapped harder by an old mare on the ride back! Stop holding back already. They can learn from watching just as well." His smirk grew almost defiant as he practically presented his cheek to Berryswainer.

With a growl, Berryswainer slapped Elusive with all he could, senidng the unicorn sprawling to the floor panting. He then knelt by him as he drew his knife. "It appears I need to teach you how to behave again." He gives a malicious grin.

As Silver see the way his brother is being treated, a smile involuntarily creeps onto his face. Scooter blushes some as the display makes his wings fluff up quite quickly, and he takes advantage of their motion to nudge Silver with them, trying to make it seem unintentional. Silver jumps a bit as he looks to the pegasus. "Y-yeah, Scooter?"

Elusive seems to almost relax somewhat at seeing the knife in his coltfriend's hand. He blushes some as he smiles. "Well, if Master believes I should be taught anew, who am I to say 'no'?"

Berryswainer grins. "Good pony!" He kisses his coltfriend deeply as he makes slow, shallow cuts along the unicorn's chest. It hardly takes even a moment for Elusive to return the kiss passionately as he groans into it from the cuts.

Scooter flushed slightly as he tried to think of how Elusive would play off his situation. "Huh? O-oh, heh. Sorry about that. Still getting used to these things acting up." He pretends to attempt to fold them back up. Silver nods and reaches out to lightly stroke one of the wings, curious about just how sensitive they are. Scooter shivers, practically jumping back. He bites his lip as he blushes pretty badly.

Berryswainer breaks the kiss and licks up the blood from the fresh cuts. He then smirks to Elusive. "I had a fun idea when you were gone, and we simply must try it."

Elusive pants softly as he looks to the earth pony. "I am at my Master's command."

At that statement, Scooter flushes a bit more, inwardly considering using the term 'Master' for Silver, though not sure how it would come across. Silver smirks and giggles mischeviously. "Are your wings really that sensitive?" He steps closer to the pegasus and rubs the wing more, making Scooter shudder from the touch and bite his lip more. "Y-yeah, Silv. They really are."

Berryswainer chuckles and grabs Elusive's chin, pulling him closer. "Open your mouth and extend your tongue."

Elusive happily obeyed, presenting his tongue to his coltfriend who quickly nicked the tip of it, making the unicorn shudder briefly before his earth pony coltfriend kissed him deeply once more, suckling on the now bleeding tongue as the two shared a new kind of kiss between them.

Silver smirks and uses his new blade to nick his coltfriend's cheek as he teasingly licks the wing. Scooter shudders again as he gives a light moan, his wing twitching slightly.

Elusive soon breaks the kiss with Berryswainer as he looks to him with a serious expression. "You know that if Solaris finds out about this, that we are both off to the moon, right?"

"Assuming Artemis doesn't get us first, in which case we're going to the sun, but hopefully they won't find out." Berryswainer chuckles. "And if we do, all we can do is enjoy the moment, right?"

Elusive grins and it soon grows into a very dark one. "Then why not indulge a little in our deviance? We have a chance and hardly a reason not to, given what we've already done." He licks his lips with his still bleeding tongue.

Berryswainer smirks. "Then what should we teach them first?"

"I'll let you be the judge of your first lesson for my sadistic little brother, but I know that if a colt is going to kiss him, said colt better damn well know how to do it."

Elusive's eyes shift to Scooter who, upon noticing blushed badly. "W-wait, what?"

The two stallions walk to the colts, kneeling to their level, Elusive looking to Scooter as Berryswainer looks to Silver Belle, the two younger ponies both blushing.

Elusive is the first to speak. "Now now, don't be shy. I believe you'll find blood tastes pretty good too." He lifts the pegasus's chin, the colt's face hot and blood red as the unicorn pulls him into a soft kiss, letting it slowly grow deeper. The first taste the young pegasus gets of blood brings him to be quite aggressive in wanting more, reaching up and pulling himself closer to the stallion.

Berryswainer chuckles softly and smiles. "Alright, kid. Now you're gonna learn how to threat your masochistic partner right. Firm dominance is key. You don't have to be cruel, just ensure disobedience will not be tolerated. Okay?" The colt nodded quickly. "Now, Silver, in a kiss, you need to show aggression, okay? Like this." Without hesitation, the earth pony kisses Silver deeply and aggressively, making the colt's eyes widen as his inexperienced muscles attempt to keep up with mild success.

Elusive pulls from his kiss with a somewhat displeased expression. "Now look. I understand that you're new to this, so I'll be gentle with scolding for now. You are being too aggressive. A good sub treads a fine line in a good kiss. You must be eager and passionate, yes, but but it is not your place to lead. Just as well, it is not your job to simply let it all be. Do not under any circumstances go limp so long as you remain conscious. Understand?"

The pegasus flushed brightly. "I, I think so." He thought for a moment. "Also, why exactly are you being gentle? Isn't that kinda counterproductive here?"

Berryswainer pulled from his kiss as well, nodding to Silver. "Good, you're getting better. Remember you lead and control everything. Just keep in mind that, even though you decide what happens, you must be sure not to force your sub to do anything they don't enjoy. Okay?"

The unicorn nodded. "A-alright."

Berryswainer smiled. "Here, you'll enjoy this." He handed the colt a leash and a small collar with a silver bell on it. "Elusive kept this after he got Onyx  some new collars, so you guys can use it."

Silver smiled, his mind racing with thoughts on how all it could be used.

Scooter blushes as he looks to see the collar before Elusive pulls his chin over, making the pegasus face him again. "Here's something to get you two started. I want you to bite my tongue and keep the blood in your mouth for my little brother." The unicorn let his tongue out, Scooter hesitating before doing as he was told, biting Elusive's tongue as a good bit of blood spurts into the colt's mouth and he does his best to keep it there as he turns to his coltfriend.

Berryswainer smirks and give Silver Belle a small push towards Scooter. Silver walks closer slowly. Scooter looks back to Elusive, who nods, before dropping to his knees before his coltfriend, leting his eyes rest on the collar before moving to Silver's eyes. He smiles softly as Silver blushes a dark red then affixes the collar on Scooter's neck, the silver bell jingling a little. Scooter's smile brightens up as he looks up, wanting to kiss his coltfriend but giving him the lead.Silver pulls Scooter up and kisses him deeply, the two letting out soft moans as they share the fresh blood between them.

Before long, a knock is heard at the door. Elusive quickly turns to it and undresses except for his panties before pulling on a robe and messing up his mane. "I'll handle this. You watch the foals."

The two end their kiss as they look nervously towards the door. After a moment they hear Elusive. "Scotch! Darling, come in, come in! Go ahead and make yourself at home. I'll be back out in a moment." Elusive walks back into the kitchen and speaks softly. "Okay you two. We have a guest. He's much more understanding than most ponies, but let's be decent here. Silver, you know the spell to help with woulds. Fix Scooter up enough to stop the bleeding. Scooter, get dressed. Berryswainer, go entertain Scotch for a moment while I get cleaned up." The foals do as they were told, Silver stopping all of Scooter's bleeding and Scooter getting dressed soon after. Berryswainer chuckles a little as he heads out to talk to Butterscotch. Elusive groans and quickly patches up the burns in Scooter's shirt before sending them out and fixing his own wounds before getting dressed and fixing his mane. He then  looks in a mirror to make sure he looked presentable, stopping and looking at his nicked tongue, the full situation flowing back into his mind. "I've gone down a dark road, and I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to turn back." He sighs and looks a moment longer before smiling softly. "But then again, I don't think I've ever been happier. Besides, I've already bought my ticket to the moon, I may as well enjoy myself until time comes to go, hmm?" He chuckled and set the mirror down before walking out to join the conversation in the main room.
