Orange stared across the bar at a super hot leather daddy. He had a large nose, deep-set eyes, and a neatly-trimmed beard. He looked up and met Orange's eyes over his glass. Orange quickly ducked his head, flustered. He hadn't meant to actually get noticed.
"Excuse me." He looked up to see the hot guy standing next to him. He was wearing a fishnet top and leather shorts, and he looked like he could easily carry Orange. Which was saying something, because Orange was a pretty large guy. "You know, people who stare at me usually buy me a drink."
"Yeah. Uh, I-- Sorry, I just--" The man's expression softened and he set a hand on Orange's arm.
"Relax, cub." Orange blushed and moved away from his touch. The man shrugged and leaned on the bar. "I like your shirt."
Orange looked sheepishly down at his Indiana Jones t-shirt. It was a stupid thing to wear to a gay bar, but he didn't have any 'clubbing' outfits.
"I'm Moth. They/them." The man held out his hand. Orange nervously shook it.
"Orange."
"Orange..." Moth echoed. They smiled and took a drink from their glass. "You here with anyone?"
"No. I just came in for a couple drinks. I--I'm probably gonna go soon."
"You could always come home with me, cub." Moth winked and Orange flushed, quickly turning away.
"I'm not that kind of guy, thank you."
"Understood." Moth held up their hands in surrender. "Just thought a handsome guy like you..."
"Don't you have some twink who wants your attention?" Orange snapped. "You could have anyone in this bar, so stop wasting your time with me."
Moth blinked at him and he ducked his head.
"I don't think I'm wasting my time on you. But I'll leave you be." They turned to walk away.
"Wait." They paused and looked over their shoulder at him. "I--I didn't mean... I'm just-- Fuck, I'm terrible at this."
"Relax, Orange." They smiled comfortingly. "You're doing fine."
"I'm not used to getting hit on."
"I could get you used to it." Moth winked and leaned closer. "Though, it would be a lot easier in a more... private place."
"I've never-- um, I don't think..." Orange blushed, stuffing his hands in his pockets. "I've never done it."
"You're a virgin?" He slowly nodded. "Well, it's your choice."
"I just... I can't... It's weird..."
"What is? Sex? Yeah, it's weird. But I can take it slow if you want."
"I have this... thing." Orange instinctively lifted a hand to his neck, picking at the collar around his throat. Moth smiled, a mischievous sparkle in their eyes.
"Well, cub, I happen to be very good at... 'things.'" Orange looked into their dark eyes and they winked.
"Really?"
"Sure. I own a porn company, so..." Orange's eyes widened. "Oh, no. No, I didn't mean you had to-- Shit, I guess I'm bad at this, too."
"So, you're... You know about petplay?"
"I know about a lot of things," Moth laughed. Orange slowly nodded, thinking for a moment. "Think about it, cub."
"Can you go slow? Like... really slow?" They nodded. Orange deeply inhaled and nodded. Moth set their empty glass on the bar and put some money under the glass. They left the bar and Orange followed them out.
"You mind me calling you cub?"
"I mean, I usually go for pup, but... cub actually isn't too bad."
"Sounds good... pup." Orange blushed and Moth hailed a cab. "Your place or mine?"
"Um..."
"Or we could go somewhere neutral. A hotel or something?"
"Yeah."
"Hotel?" Orange nodded. They got in the cab and Moth gave the driver directions to a hotel. It was a fancy hotel, one that only the rich tourists stayed in when they came to town. Moth got them a room and two keys, and Orange quietly followed them up the elevator to the room.
"Huh." He looked around the hotel room. It was a fancy suite with a separate bedroom. Orange had never stayed in a hotel room this nice.
"You wanna take the lead?" Moth asked. Their voice was gentle and they were watching Orange attentively.
"I don't know how..." He shrank in on himself, staring at his feet.
"Shh. It's okay." They put a gentle hand on his arm. "Why don't you sit down? Let me see if they gave us any good snacks."
They went to the mini-kitchen and rummaged through the snack bin.
"Don't we have to pay for those?" Orange asked nervously. He sat in a chair, fiddling his thumbs. Moth shrugged and grabbed a packet of something.
"How's microwave popcorn sound?" They tossed the packet in the microwave and pressed the button. "So, tell me about yourself, cub."
"Uh... well, my name is Orange. And I, uh, I'm gay."
"Lovely. I'm queer, as well." The popcorn began to pop. "You seem very familiar with your kink. How long have you been doing petplay?"
"Um, about ten years."
"Are you a submissive? Switch? Dom?"
"Sub," Orange mumbled.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of, pup." The microwave beeped and Moth took the bag out. They joined Orange, sitting on the couch next to the chair. "Have you ever had a Dominant?"
"N--No."
"You've always played alone?"
