Prompt: Letter A : Ax
Rating: K+/T I guess….
Often Hänschen thought of a particular phrase: "have an ax to grind". This phrase could be used almost every minute of his life, seeing as it meant having a self-serving reason for doing something.
He couldn't think of one time where that phrase couldn't be used…at least the meaning of phrase.
When he was nine years old, he had tripped his younger sister, resulting in his mother leaving the kitchen to calm her…and leaving the fresh baked cookies unguarded.
Twelve years old he had managed to score a trip to Berlin…just by sucking up to his eldest brother for the two weeks.
Fifteen years old and he had gained pleasure and release… by seducing Ernst.
He thought that the seduction would be just another gain on his part… but what he didn't plan on was that one time did not suppress his urges.
Neither did the next.
Or the next.
It never faded.
And slowly, he no longer had a feeling of self-serving. Yes, he needed and craved the meetings, but now… Ernst needed to yearn for it as well.
