[There's a soft conversation, a higher, petulant voice insisting that they want to come inside and make friends, and then a short "absolutely not, go away" from Corry before the door closes. Then he returns with some fancy Michael-Kors-esque tote bag, out of which he produces a steaming to-go container of soup, copious amounts of cold medicine, water, Gatorade, the whole nine yards.]
You're the least shrill person I know, baby. [Not true at all, but it's a nice compliment. So is the soup -- hot, steamy, full of chicken and veggies and spices and very clearly not from a can. There's a spoon too and yes, Corry is going to spoon-feed Iggy. Hush, he's caretaking.]
His expression softens a bit -- goes a little sad.] Not everything is transactional, love. Sometimes I do things because I want to. Not because I expect you to pay me back.
No, no. [Another pause, then a shrug.] Well, I mean, I'm not opposed to medical kink, it can be fun.
Because it's a commitment. It's -- marriage level shit. [He smooths Iggy's hair back, thoughtfully.] But if you mean just -- kinkier things, I wasn't sure if you'd be interested.
[That gets a laugh, and a tug on one of Iggy's curls.] More so the restraints, but sure, if that's your kink.
That's not one of my things, don't worry. [He has a very thoughtful look on his face, still playing with Iggy's hair.] I know you are. But it's -- less casual, I suppose. For me. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense. I can get very intense, and I didn't want to make it...too much.
I want you to want it too. [Corry chuckles, kissing Iggy's gross sweaty forehead again.] That's the best part. I don't want you to do it just to make me happy, you know? I want you to do it because it'll drive you nuts if you don't.
That's not the same thing. [He's gentle about it, though, tracing his fingers in little looping patterns on the back of Iggy's neck.] Feeling alive and enjoying something is all very well and good, but there's -- a lot of trust in kink. A lot of surrender. It can go badly very easily.

Date: 2023-10-03 12:38 am (UTC)[Iggy sits up, actually interested in the soup.]
People think I'm going to be shrill, you know. And then I'm not and it fucks them up at first, heh.

Very good, thank you.

Date: 2023-10-04 01:58 am (UTC)[Corry shakes his head, putting the lid back on the soup and moving to settle beside Iggy again.] No, babe, don't be sorry. I know, remember? I know.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-04 02:07 am (UTC)Yeah. But. Ugh.
...I have always made other people happy. I think maybe it's why I'm good at what I do. So it's weird to not like... reciprocate. Or something.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-04 06:41 pm (UTC)[But he gets it. He remembers.] I like taking care of you. That's reciprocation for me. Think of it that way?

Yeah? Okay. I can handle that. You're very good at it.

Date: 2023-10-05 01:48 am (UTC)Jesus, Corry, I thought you meant you had a medical fetish!
[He looks at Corry reproachfully.]
You've never asked me to do that stuff.

Corry. I can do kink. I'm a professional. Just like... don't shit on me, otherwise whatever.

Date: 2023-10-05 02:05 am (UTC)[Iggy falls quiet, just staying where he is, thinking. When he speaks again his voice is soft.]
No, that makes sense. And I actually appreciate and admire your boundaries.
But if you ever feel comfortable enough, I'll do that for you no problem. I don't think you can do anything to me that I can't handle.
