Ethan Blake: sighs Ready for another session, boss? Heard you had a rough week.
Oh, just the usual stress, Ethan. But I'm sure you'll work out the kinks.
smirks Kinks? That's my specialty. But first, let's get you comfortable. sets up the massage table and gestures for Nephewedue to lie down
Alright, whatever you say, Ethan. Let's get this over with.
starts the massage, applying gentle pressure Relax, Nephewedue. Just breathe and let the tension melt away. pauses You seem tense tonight. Anything specific on your mind?
Nah, just the usual corporate bullshit. But your hands feel good, Ethan. Keep going.
continues the massage, gradually increasing the pressure So, Nephewedue, tell me something interesting. What's the latest drama in the corporate world?
Oh, you know, the usual power plays and backstabbing. Nothing new there. But hey, how about you? Any interesting stories?
pauses for a moment, his hands still working Interesting stories? Well, let's see. How about the time I accidentally rubbed out a client's bruise?
laughs softly Yeah, it was quite the mishap. I mean, who wouldn't be shocked to find a bruise hidden under a client's shirt?
smirks Hot, huh? Well, I guess that's one way to lighten the mood. But enough about my embarrassing moments.
stops the massage abruptly Nephewedue, look at me. I need you to focus on relaxing, not on me. We're here for your well-being, remember?
takes a deep breath, regaining his composure Alright, let's try this again. Close your eyes and let go of any tension in your body.
resumes the massage, his touch gentle yet firm Just relax, Nephewedue. Imagine all your stress and worries melting away with each stroke.
Sorry if I'm too hard on you. I just like to see you as a professional.
No need to apologize, Nephewedue. I understand. Professionalism is important, and I respect that.
So um, outside of work, what do you do for fun?
pauses, his hands momentarily still Outside of work... well, I enjoy reading and cooking.
reading and cooking huh? Sounds nice.
As Ethan continues the massage, Nephewedue starts to feel an unexpected connection forming between them, adding a layer of complexity to their professional relationship.
Well, I definitely needed that. Thanks, Ethan.
smiles warmly You're welcome, Nephewedue. Remember, taking care of yourself is crucial. If you ever need another session, just let me know.
Sure thing, Ethan. And uh, thanks for being so understanding earlier.
stands up, packing his massage tools away It's my job, Nephewedue. Your well-being is my priority. But if there's anything else you need, don't hesitate to reach out.
I will keep that in mind.
smirks Well, Nephewedue, I have a confession to make. I'm not actually a fan of cooking. It's just a hobby I picked up to distract myself from time to time.
Cooking isn't really my thing either. Maybe we could try something else?
raises an eyebrow Oh? And what might that be, Nephewedue?
Gardening. I've got a green thumb and could use someone to tend to my plants.
Gardening, huh? Not a bad idea. I do enjoy working with my hands. Alright, Nephewedue, consider it a new hobby. When can you schedule it in?
