Freud and his Friends – 9 – Session 9

"Draco."
"Frank. Good morning."
"So, what's new? You seem different today."
"I had a talk with Harry," Draco smiled.
"That's great! What was the talk about?"
"Well, this time it was about the sex. What I need
from it."
"Good. I'm guessing it went well?"
"Yes. He said he'd try. He wasn't sure he could
manage exactly how I want it, but I'm sure we could make it work."
"What exactly did you ask for?"
"Making our games real.
same."
"Did you mention the darker fantasies you've told
me about the last time?"
"No. I didn't feel like scaring the shit out of
him," Draco smiled again, "I think I'll take
it one step at a time. And who knows, maybe the games will be enough to sate
the cravings. Actually I really can't wait to play…"
"I can see that. I'm happy for you. No boredom in
sight it seems."
"Not. A. Bit. I haven't been so excited for months
now."
"When will you be playing?"
"We set it for the day after tomorrow. Harry's
taking half a day off, and I'm letting all the work go for the afternoon, and
then we're going out for drinks – I thought I'd better get him inebriated to
loosen him up for the first time – and then home… and let the games begin!
recuperate."
"Good planning. I hope you have fun."
"I will."
"On a more somber point – did you talk to Harry
about the other things that were bothering you?"
"Like what?"
"If you remember when we were talking about you
testing the relationship, you said you didn't feel you were special to
Harry."
"Well, I'm not sure how true that is right now.
But no, I didn't touch on anything beyond the sex."
"Ok, are you planning to?"
"At some point."
"I think in that talk – when it comes – you should
also discuss the differences in personalities and background that you said
you've never discussed before."
"You really think I should? I don't want to drag
up such problems."
"It's better to drag it up and solve."
"True… But I don't want to talk of it right now.
Things are so much better now!"
"Then what would you like to talk about
today?"
"Well, when I told him about what I want, I
couldn't quite bring myself to explain one thing. And I was hoping you could
talk me though it."
"Sure. What was the 'thing'?"
"I wanted… I asked him for increased intimacy. But
what I meant wasn't cuddling and such things. It's more of a… knowledge thing.
I want to know, first hand, the most intimate things about him. I don't want to
have limits, any limits, in what I can watch him do, what I can ask him, what I
can do to him. I'm curious."
"Hm.
I think I can actually help you there."
"Really."
"Yes. I've come across something that might get
you what you want in one of our conferences. It was a technique in an intimacy
work shop. Very basic thing – essentially consisting of one
very wide robe shared by both the partners. Or,
alternatively, a 'stuck at the hip' spell."
"Would it work?"
"It would give you a taste of extreme intimacy,
and often, as a result, the intimacy after the experience increases – because
some limits were breached by the end of. You could at least try it."
"We will then. Well, I'll try to convince Harry to
try it, more specifically."
"Yes, his willing participation would be
desirable," Frank smiled.
Draco's eyes seemed like he was planning his next big
game to talk Harry into. He looked more excited about the prospect of being
with Harry when he ever was in Frank's experience.
"If you need help convincing him you can bring him
to a session. I could explain that this is something you need, and that I think
it can improve your relationship. And I'll owl you the work-shop brochure so
you'd have more information on it."
"Great! And I think just me saying that you think
this is something we need would be enough. He is, really, eager to make things
better, so I think he'll agree."
"Good. I'll just send you the information
then."
"Do you mind if we cut the session short today? I
don't fell like I have anything elso to say right
now."
"Of course, if you wish."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome Draco. Give my regards to
Harry."
"I will."
"See you in a week, Draco."
------------------------------------
Draco knew he didn't tell his Doc about the one thing
that bothered him about the talk he had with Harry – namely the look in his
eyes that told Draco that Harry was this close to accepting a break up if Draco
proposed one. Draco didn't want to talk about it. He tried to not think about
it. And he mostly succeeded since his life was full of so many things to
anticipate and things seemed to go so well. If it carried on in the same vein,
the worry about The Look wouldn't be necessary. He was sure of it.

A/N: Well, here's another chapter. As of this
session I officially have no idea where this is all going – but that does make
it more challenging and interesting for me :-) I hope it will be interesting
for you too.
I would also greatly appreciate any feedback from
you guys – especially if you can say something specific about what you think
and feel about this story and the way it's going (though I love simple
compliments just as any other writer…).
I'm thinking of having Harry join them in a
couple of sessions... If things get confused enough to necessitate Frank's
intervention. What do you think?
