Rest and Restraint - Rope Art

Today started out bad. First, it was an overcast day, then Nixie couldn’t get his hair right, which always puts him in a bad mood, then the water in the house wasn’t working right, and they were in a rush to get to the church. They still had to stop and get some breakfast. Nowhere better to do that than Dan’s Dango. By far the best food shop in Burrowgatory. The company there and the food always put Nixie in a better mood. Dan was still kinda put-offish, but was warming up to Nixie, and Shibani was so charismatic that everyone liked them. 

Out of his doll form, into his bun form he went, as it was less noticeable they were having a bad hair day. They were too proud to be out and about without looking their best. They straightened their silky fur and headed out. They had a car, but rarely used it. Nixie wasn’t a fan of driving. They preferred to walk everywhere. A short walk later, they were at Dan’s. Walking in, there was a line about 4 buns long. Just his luck, there would be a line when he was in a hurry.

Well, there was nothing to do but wait. They had to eat. No one seemed to come in behind them though. Finally, after a long wait, it was their turn. 

“Hey Shibani, I’d like…” Nixie started. Shibani looked at them and cut them off.

“You need to relax. You are too stressed. Let me help. We are empty anyway.” Shibani said with his normal calm, cool voice. 

“But I’m in a hurry.” Nixie replied. His patient was already thin, and he didn’t like where this was going. It sounded like Shibani had some plans, but it was hard to tell what they were. 

“No, no, i insist, no dango until you’ve relaxed. I have just the thing for you, doll.” Shibani was heading to the back of the store. “Well, come on now.” He insisted. Nixie let out a huge sigh and started to follow him. They never could turn down a cute person anyway. They followed Shibani to the back of the store. It looked like Dan wasn’t there at the moment. That just meant more room for Shibani and Nixie. Shibani went straight to his pillow pile. Nixie followed closely, wandering what the plan was. 

Shibani sat in his pillow pile, and patted for Nixie to come next to them. Nixie climbed up on the pile and sat next to Shibani. “Come on, I need you in your doll form.” Shibani had said. Nixie was nervous, knowing that their hair didn’t look perfect. But he supposed if Shibani was the only one to see them, that wouldn’t be a bad thing. Nixie shifted into their doll form, acutely aware of the few hairs out of place. Shibani seemed not to notice. He crawled over to Nixie and put his hands on their shoulders.  

Shibani started to gently rub Nixie’s shoulders, as Nixie let out a contented sigh. They had been under stress today and a shoulder rub seemed like just the thing needed to take care of that. Shibani was both gentle, and thorough. Before he knew it, Nixie had forgotten what all the stress was about. They had forgotten they wanted to go to church, they had forgotten that their hair wasn’t perfect, and they had forgotten they were even hungry. 

“Here, lets try something else.” Shibani said, as he started to strip Nixie. Nixie wasn’t sure what was going on, but when a cute bun wants you stripped, by the demons, you let them strip you. Soon, Nixie stood in just their underwear, bare chested, and ready for whatever came next. Shibani had put a blindfold on Nixie, so they didn’t know what to expect next. Soft, smooth rope drug across their chest. Over the shoulders, around the chest, on the arms. Down around the groin. The rope seemed to caress every inch of their body, as Nixie was slowly turned into Shibani’s personal canvas.
