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. And him taking his pleasure as he liked so that I can do the same."
"Did you mention the darker fantasies you've told me about the last time?"
"No. I didn't fell 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! …And just in case, we have the whole day after that to 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.
