My next day, a Monday, was as busy as it always was, but of course this night I wasn't going to see my friend Matt. I kind of wanted to though, even though we have a pretty obvious pattern that didn't need to be broken. I just couldn't really stop thinking about when he had hypnotized me last night. It just felt so good, so relaxing.... I loved it. I wanted Matt to drop me again. But eh, a schedule is a schedule. No point in changing it up, honestly. I'd just see him tomorrow, might as well wait.
I arrived at his apartment Tuesday afternoon around 5, picking up groceries on my way from work. Since he and I saw each other so often, we figured we might as well just have keys to each others' houses, to make things convenient. I stepped inside as soon as I unlocked the door, rushing over to his small kitchen to set down the groceries. Matt turned to me from in front of his oven that he was turning on, wearing an apron, and stated in confusion, "Jeez, you didn't have get all that! There's just two of us, y'know?"
I smirked at him, "I KNOW that, but I figured it's always nice to have leftovers. Good to meal prep for the week, y'know?"
He rolled his eyes and nodded. "Yeah, alright. Well let me get started on our LARGE dinner, then." We both chatted about today and yesterday. Nothing was ever big news of course, so we would get to talking about what movies or shows we might wanna watch together. After dinner had been served, he asked me as we ate, "So, what is it we are watching tonight?"
I held up my hand as I was chewing. That idiot just had to ask me as soon as I take a bite full of chicken. Gulping, I said, "I figured we would go old school this time. I know I tend to suggest a lot of Disney, but this one really is a classic. The Jungle Book!"
Matt smiled and nodded as he poked at his food with his fork. "Ah, that is a good one. But it seems almost a little contextual. Is there a reason you picked it?"
I furrowed my brow. "What are you tryna get at? I mean, it's a classic from my childhood, or like, everyone's childhood. What about that is contextual?"
He patted my shoulder and chuckled. "I'm just messing with you. I was only saying 'contextual' because, y'know, there's that scene with the snake. It's really the only thing I remember from that movie."
I turned to my food again and thought for a moment. "Oh!" I said aloud in realization, "Kaa, the snake. Hypnosis, I get it now. Pshhh, I didn'teven think about it."
He took another bite full and chuckled some more, "Took ya long enough."
I nodded. "Yeah, yeah... hey listen.... I was thinking about last hangout, and the whole hypnosis thing we did. Well, I've BEEN thinking about it. Like, a strange amount." He faced me, looking me in the eyes and motioned for me to continue. "Well um, I was thinking maybe we could have another session? I mean, I'm not even feeling all that stressed anymore to be honest, but I just kinda... wanna be dropped again. I want to be dropped deeper."
Matt smiled and nodded. "Good boy. Going deeper WOULD feel good, wouldn't it?"
I shook my head. "Good boy? Why did you call me that?"
"Shhhh," Matt cooed as he lightly grasped my forearm, "don't think so hard about it. Whatever I say is just fine. I am never wrong. You were a good boy for telling me about this. I can drop you deeper, just like you asked."
I sat for a moment, uncertain of how to respond. But as I looked into his eyes, I remembered... remembered? I don't know if that is the right word... but something... a thought, a voice in my mind... obey...
I blinked and stammered, "R-right, sorry. You're never wrong. I don't know why I questioned you for a second there." I chuckled lightly.
His face remained unchanged, and he kept his hand on my arm. There was a look in his eyes... determination. "Now, all you have to do is ask politely to be dropped again. Won't you be a good boy and say the magic word?"
My eyes were glued on his eyes now. I couldn't look away if I wanted to. I barely had to think before I answered. I really wanted to be dropped. "Please drop me, Matt."
"Mhm," he hummed, "There's a good boy. Why don't you go sit down on the couch and wait while I clean up the dishes?"
"Okay." I blankly said in agreement, getting up for his sofa and sitting down. I was waiting for Matt to finish the dishes. I was sitting and waiting. Why.. was that all I could think about now? He told me to sit and wait for him to the dishes, and I'm doing that. And.. nothing else? Do I have nothing else I could do to keep myself busy? My phone... but Matt didn't say phone. He said to sit and wait. He didn't mention the word phone. So.. I shouldn't use my phone. I should sit and wait. I should sit and wait for Matt. Sit and wait...
Matt was finished soon enough, and slouched down on the seat next to me. We turned to face each other, both having a bit of excitement in our eyes. He reached over and ever so gently held my chin, settling my vision directly into his. "Look into my eyes," he commanded softly, "are you ready to drop deeper for Matt?"
I stared back into those beautiful green pools. Deep, deep green pools... "I am ready to drop deeper for Matt."
"Very good. I need you to be a good boy for me. Sleep now."
