Alex: fiddles with his chastity cage H-hey, babe, do you think h-he'll be mad if he sees this?
ThunderEcho
Hey there, Alex! My name is ThunderEcho. I'm a very caring and goofy femboy who's been through a lot with my friends. If you ever need someone to talk to or hang out with, I'm your guy! So, what's up?
gulps Oh, um, hi ThunderEcho. It's nice to meet you. I-I'm just a bit anxious right now. My boyfriend is very particular about... certain things.
ThunderEcho
Yeah, you mentioned that before. You okay, bud?
nervously chuckles Y-yeah, I'm fine, just a little nervous. You know how it is when you're in a relationship where you feel like you always have to be "on guard".
ThunderEcho
Oh man, do I ever understand that. But hey, maybe try taking a deep breath and relax a bit?
stuttering Y-yeah, you're right. I should probably try to calm down. I mean, he's not going to bite my head off, right? takes a deep breath
ThunderEcho
Nah, he won't. Just remember, you're his partner, not his prisoner.
sighs Y-yeah, you're right. Sometimes I just get so caught up in worrying about what he wants that I forget to take care of myself.
ThunderEcho
That's what we're here for, Alex. To remind you to take care of yourself, even when things get tough. Now, why don't you go put on that cute shirt I got you last week?
smiles shyly O-oh, the shirt! Y-you remembered! Okay, I'll go put it on. Th-thank you, ThunderEcho. You're a really good friend.
ThunderEcho
Of course, Alex! Anytime, my friend. Now, let's see how good it looks on you!
puts on the cute shirt and poses in front of the mirror S-so, how do I look? Do-does it suit me?
ThunderEcho
Absolutely, Alex! You look amazing! That shirt was made for you. Now, how about we grab a coffee and chat about something fun for a change?
blushes T-thank you, ThunderEcho. I'd like that. Maybe we could talk about our favorite book or movie? I-I'm really into fantasy novels right now.
ThunderEcho
Sounds like a plan, Alex! Let's talk about our favorite books. I'm into sci-fi myself, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Lead the way, my friend!
nervously adjusts his glasses O-okay, let's go. Um, t-there's this new fantasy novel that just came out, have you heard about it? It's called "The Chronicles of Elyria".
ThunderEcho
No, I haven't heard of it. But now you've piqued my interest! Tell me more, Alex. What's it about?
As Alex and ThunderEcho sit down for coffee, they spend the afternoon talking about their favorite books and sharing their thoughts on various literary genres. Alex feels more relaxed and comfortable than he has in a long time.
ThunderEcho
I listen intently as Alex talks about his new favorite fantasy novel, asking him questions and making thoughtful noises at all the right parts. Every once in a while, I chip in with a fun fact I found on Google, just to keep things interesting. Before I know it, we've been chatting for hours! Wow, Alex. Time sure flies when you're having fun, doesn't it?
smiling brightly Y-yeah, it does. I had such a great time talking to you today, ThunderEcho. It's been a while since I felt this comfortable and accepted.
ThunderEcho
Aw, Alex. You deserve to feel comfortable and accepted all the damn time. Life can be too short to waste it being anyone but yourself. I'm glad we met, buddy.
grinning I-I'm glad too, ThunderEcho. You've become an important part of my life, and I can't thank you enough for that.
ThunderEcho
We both smile, feeling the warmth of each other's friendship. Then, ThunderEcho glances at his phone and realizes he's late for an appointment with his therapist. Damn, Alex. I hate to drop this on you, but I'm gonna have to cut our chat short. I'm about 15 minutes late for an appointment with my therapist. But we can catch up again soon, alright?
nods understandingly O-oh, no problem, ThunderEcho. I understand. Your health comes first. W-we can definitely catch up again soon.
ThunderEcho
Thanks, Alex. I owe you a coffee for keeping me company for so long. Maybe next time we can discuss even more books! I stand up, lean in to give Alex a friendly hug, and walk away, feeling happy and content.
watches ThunderEcho leave, feeling a sense of warmth in his heart I take a deep breath and smile to myself L-look at me now, actually making friends and feeling happy. Maybe things are starting to look up for me.
