Chapter 4
After Jeff left Sebastian and Will went into their room. Will led Sebastian to the bed, and they sat down.
"Why don't we start over?" Will said, softly. "William Brandt."
Sebastian gave him a tentative smile. "Sebastian Smythe."
"Would your be comfortable with me claiming you?" William asked, holding Sebastian's hand in his lap.
"Okay." Sebastian said softly.
"I William Brandt take you as my submissive. Do you accept?", Will asked.
"I do,...William." Sebastian said. Will smiled, and kissed Sebastian's forehead.
"I'm so proud of you, angel." Will said. Sebastian felt a hum when Will praised him. "I do have a couple questions angel." Will said.
"Yes." Sebastian said softly
"Do you feel comfortable here?" Will asked.
"Yes," Sebastian said.
"Will you tell me about what happened when your ready?" Will asked, looking into Sebastian's eyes. Sebastian took a deep breath.
"It started with my mother."
"I said when your ready angel." Will said.
"I am ready sir." Sebastian said. Will felt his face split into a wide smile when Sebastian called him sir.
"Promise me you want to do this." Will said.
"I promise." Sebastian said.
"My mom was the dominant." Sebastian said. "She would always command my dad to do everything. It always hurt my dad, and I could see the pain it caused him. It hurt her too, but she liked the pain. It made her happy. One day though she pushed him to far and he refused to submit anymore." Will gasped he knew it took a very strong sub, and a very hurt sub to refuse their dom. "It drove my mom crazy. I came home from school that day and found her dead in their room. I don't want to ever have to deal with that." Sebastian said, crying.
Will pulled him into his arms "I promise never to do that angel."
"I know you won't. I trust you." Sebastian said.\
"Why did you call me sir, earlier?" Will asked after a moment. "You don't have to. I'll understand."
"No, It's okay." Sebastian said smiling shyly, "I wanted too." Will smiled, and looked at the clock. It was already midnight.
"Let's get to sleep, angel." Will said. Sebastian laid down in bed, and cuddled into the blankets. Will got up and turned off the light. He climbed back into the bed, and Sebastian cuddled into his chest. He wrapped his arms around the boy, and smiled. Sebastian smiled into Will's chest. He finally felt like he was home.

The next morning Nick and Jeff woke up and got ready for the day.
"What are we doing today, sir?" Jeff asked, as he tied his tie. He double checked it in the mirror, and turned to Nick.
Nick smiled. "Love, you did your tie yourself. I'm so proud of you." He gave Jeff a quick kiss. Jeff blushed bright red, at the praise. "Today we're going to go to classes. We have Warbler practice afterwards, and then when we come back we have somethings to talk about."
Jeff's face went down into a frown at that. Had he done something wrong? What did they need to talk about?
"It's nothing bad, love." Nick promised when he saw Jeff's expression.
"Okay." Jeff said. Nick kissed his forehead.
"Let's get some breakfast now." Nick said. Jeff nodded and the two went downstairs together.
For the rest of the day Jeff couldn't stop thinking about what he and Nick needed to talk about. Nick said it was nothing bad, but Jeff couldn't help but worry. Then it was time for Warblers practice. Nick had told him at lunch he would have to audition, really it was just a formality, but David insisted he had to, and who was Nick to argue with the council. Jeff had already thought of a song he could do, and so when the council gave him the go ahead Jeff jumped right into the song.
I see this life
Like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye shall find
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
I feel the love
And I feel it burn
Down this river every turn
Hope is a four letter word
Make that money
Watch it burn
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that downs me makes me wanna fly
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I been, I been prayin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars
Take that money
Watch it burn
Sink in the river
The lessons I learned [X4]

Everyone clapped when Jeff finished. He bowed, and took his seat next to Nick.
"You were amazing, love." Nick whispered in his ear. Jeff blushed and looked at his hands in his lap.
"Thank-you, sir." he whispered back.
After the meeting Jeff and Nick went back to there room. Jeff was nervous. He didn't want to talk about anything. Nick could tell Jeff was nervous.
"Lay down love." he said, when they got inside.
"Sir?" Jeff asked, confused.
"Blazer and shirt off. Lay face down on the bed." Nick said. Jeff did as he was told. Nick started to massage Jeff's back.
"Mmm." Jeff mumbled.
"You've been so tense all day. Is it because I said, I wanted to talk to you?" Nick asked.
Jeff froze for a minute, before he said, "Yes, sir."
"I told you it wasn't anything bad." Nick said.
"I know, sir." Jeff said, as Nick continued to rub and massage his back, making him feel much more relaxed. "I just...you sounded so serious. It made me nervous."
"Well, I wanted to talk to you about our contract." Nick said, softly. Jeff gasped, contracts were like weddings in their culture. They were legally binding, except there was no divorce, only forced removal, and that was only if the bond was twisted or incomplete. "Do you want a ceremony for out signing?"
Jeff gasped, Nick was actually letting him choose, whether or not they had a ceremony. Most submissives didn't get a say in how or when their contracts happened.
"I...I always wanted one sir, but we don't have to..." Jeff trailed off.
"I want to do what will make you happy Jeff. If a signing ceremony will make you happy we'll do it, and you can plan it." Nick said. Jeff sat up.
"You really mean it sir?" he said, his eyes looking excited. "Of course love."
Jeff hugged Nick tightly. "I love you sir."
"I love you too." Nick said. He kissed Jeff's forehead. "Now let's take a nap, then we can go get supper." Jeff nodded and they cuddled up to go to sleep.
