Aces and Hearts

Leo sat at a table in the corner of a club, sighing faintly to himself.
It was his birthday, and none of his friends had remembered. Work as a farmhand had been frustrating and stressful.
Hell, everything was stressful and tiring lately. He sighed, resting his head on the table. Ugh. He needed an adventure... Something new.

Leo was a thin, young stallion, with a flat chest. Light muscles stood out along his body, but they were nothing too special;
Just detail from work. He had tan, light brown fur, and a golden mane, short and scraggy, with a few strands that never stayed out of his eyes. He wore a simple pair of jeans and a tight black t-shirt; He tried not to wear anything more androgynous, he'd been mistaken for a mare in the past, even having people go so far as to teasingly call him a "femboy".

A tall stallion, by the name of Ace, watched from nearby, smirking. Leo was a friend of his, and he'd been growing more and more melancholic lately, he'd heard. Disillusioned with his life in general... Good thing he had a good idea for how to spice up Leo's life. Oh yes.

With a chuckle, he walked over.

"Hey, Leo." He said, calmly. Leo looked up, smiling.

"Oh, hey Ace." He said, softly, looking the stallion up and down. It'd been a while since he had seen this friend; He'd been away for a while.

Ace was a tall, handsome stallion. With a head of curly, white hair, and a soft, royal purple
coat of fur. He wore a simple, button-up black shirt, and a pair of matching slacks; A simple work outfit, assumedly.
His blue eyes twinkled mischievously every time he looked around. He'd always been the most handsome, the most noticeable of their
friend group, which made the rest of them happy that he was usually away whenever they trolled bars together to find mares.

Ace sat at the table, with a grin.

"Good to be back in town... I've been off in Manehattan dealing with some clients." He said, with a sly smirk.
Leo had never found out what exactly Ace's job was... He decided now was the time to ask. He smiled.

"So... What kind of "Clients" do you deal with?" He asked.

"Oh, nothing special..." Ace grinned.

"I help people condition their slaves, make them obedient." He said, waving a hand dismissively. Leo blinked.

"... What." He said, staring at Ace in shock.

After a few seconds of silence, Ace laughed loudly.

"I'm kidding! Come on, Leo, give me a break." He rolled his eyes.

"I'm a lawyer... See why I said the other thing? People hate lawyers more." He laughed. He was lying through his teeth;
He knew Leo was a bit of a... Sub, for sure. The way he acted, the way he dressed. Ace's profession was, in fact, helping masters
train their slaves; It was a surprisingly well-paying job, once you knew how to get work. It was no different than a dog trainer...
Collar them, condition them, feed them, keep them in a cage... Or whatever the client asked for.
Ace had trained all kinds of slaves. Puppysluts, breeders, femboys, everything. But for Leo, he had a different idea...
He smirked. He'd have to be a little more sly about this. Leo smiled.

"Haha..." He laughed awkwardly. Ace smirked.

"So, can I get you a drink?" He asked, smoothly. Leo shrugged.

"Sure... I'm almost finished with this one." He said, quietly, staring at the mostly empty glass.

"What are you having?" Ace asked. Leo, once again, shrugged, sighing quietly.

"I dunno... You're paying, get me the most expensive thing!" He joked, with a soft laugh.

Ace smirked. This would be easier than he'd thought, actually... He walked up to the bar, getting him and Leo a drink each.
As he turned, a quick sleight of hand slipped a small pill into Leo's drink. It rapidly dissolved, until the only difference in
the drink was a slightly lighter colour. Of course, the dim lighting of the bar would cover that up.

Ace smiled charmingly as he sat across from Leo, sliding him his drink. The stallion thanked him, sighing as he cradled his drink, looking over the top of it at his friend.
"I really just wish things could... I dunno, be more interesting." He said, softly. Ace nodded.

"I understand." He said, with a faint smile.

"I can help, you know. Whatever you want in the world... I can find it for you." He said, with a faint purr, that made Leo shiver.

"What, you want to be my daddy?" He teased. Ace had to hold himself back from cackling, only a faint smile on his face.

"No, no, of course not..." He said, lowly, licking his lips.

Leo sighed, and upturned his drink, drinking deeply. Ace watched with a devious grin, which was wiped away as Leo put his empty
glass down, smacking his lips.

"Wow... That tasted good..." He said. Ace chuckled.

"Want to go for a walk? Get some fresh air?" He asked, cheerily. Leo nodded. Ace resisted the urge to sigh in relief.
It would be a lot easier to move Leo around once the drug hit, if they weren't in the bar. People got suspicious otherwise.

The two headed outside, into the cool, chilly air. Leo stumbled slightly, letting out a groan.

"Augh... My head..." He shook his head softly. Ace helped him stand up straight.

"Hah, the drink must be hitting you hard..." He said, quietly, leading the stallion down the street.
Soon they were in a quiet alley, away from the street. Leo stumbled again, leaning on a wall, letting out a faint groan.

"Ohh..." He stumbled into Ace, the stallion catching him, and looking down at Leo. The stallion looked at Ace with blearly suspicion...
But suddenly, Ace leant forward, and deeply kissed the drugged stallion, a small moan escaping Leo as he slipped into a deep, relaxed sleep.
Ace smiled, and picked Leo up like a newlywed, jogging off, whistling cheerfully.

This was going to be good.
