"Rae?" Aster asked as he waved his hand in front of her listless face. Her pupil dilated hiding her green eyes, as her mouth hung open without reply.
"Rae, this isn't funny," Aster stated as he shook her shoulders, no response.
"No way it actually worked..." He didn't want to believe it, she was actually hypnotized.
"Damn it this is so cliche. Rae, can you hear?" He asked as he pulled back from her lifeless body. He had no clue what to do at this point, he was sent a random spam email stating, 'Anyone who watches this video will be hypnotized [Real] [Not Clickbait]'. Not believing it, but finding it funny he decided to show it to his childhood friend, Rae.
To his surprise though, she was actually hypnotized, the video worked.
"Yes...I can hear you." The words were slurred and slow like they came out of someone else's mouth.
"Tell me the name of the guy you dated in high school that you didn't want me to know about." He asked, she had kept this person's name a secret from him for now 9 years.
Her lips moved slowly forming each letter before speaking them aloud; "Trevor". She then fell asleep again with an empty stare on her face.
"Of course, it was that bastard," Aster cursed, "You seriously went out with that dumbass who couldn't pass a 5th-grade math test?"
"Yes," She answered.
"Was a rhetorical question," His thoughts drifted as he stared at her body, at her ample chest that moved with her breathing, "Was he your first time?"
Her eyebrows furrowed as she hesitated before answering, "No."
"Who was?" He could feel his lower member push against his boxers and jeans as he continued his line of questioning. It felt good knowing how much power he held over her mind right now.
She looked up at the ceiling for several seconds before responding, "Tony, sophomore year of college."
"Tell me about the experience." He wondered as his dick pulsed, painfully pressing against his clothes.
Aster watched as Rae thought hard trying to recall every detail of their sexual encounter together. After a few minutes, she began talking more freely than earlier when under hypnosis.
He listened intently as she spoke, "I was drunk with Jennifer after our last final for the semester. We all got massively wasted and the rest of the night got hazy. I remember sporadic moments of the night. Tony came over to check that everything was okay, and Jennifer pulled him into the room with us. He was nervous, unsure of what was happening, but in her state, she didn't care. They started making out while I sat there watching them kiss passionately. Then suddenly, my head hit something soft. When I opened my eyes, I saw Anthony laying between Jennifer's legs. Something was awoken inside me as I wobbled over to them, and injected myself into their moment. As soon as we made eye contact, he stopped kissing her neck and turned towards me. Our mouths met in unison as if by some sort of telepathic connection. My hands grabbed onto both sides of his face as mine explored down his torso until reaching to his cock. The next time I came to, Jen was kissing me as Tony fucked me from behind."
Aster's hands had unconsciously moved to rub his length overtop his pants as she recalled her story. He couldn't hide the growing jealousy he had for Tony. He had Rae's first time, and it was a threesome? Lucky son of a bitch. His mind clouded by jealousy and lust he asked, "Did you ever want to sleep with me?"
The short pause, was the longest two seconds of Aster's life, "No." The answer came like a bucket of cold water.
"Why not?" He already knew the answer, but wanted to hear it from her.
"Because you're a brother to me." She answered quickly, her eyes never leaving his.
His heart dropped, he had hoped for another reason, but wasn't surprised.
"Then why won't you let me date anyone either? Every time I have a first date, you always find someway to ruin it for me." He asked, his voice low and full of emotion.
"Because I felt that if you got a girlfriend she would force us to stop talking." She explained.
"You can't have it both ways." He was visibly annoyed, "Do you want me to date any other girls?"
"No." She shook her head
"You are jealous of the attention I would give them." He stated.
"I'm jealous of the attention you would give them." She repeated.
"You want me all to yourself." He said matter-of-factly.
She nodded, "I want you all to myself."
"Me or your most recent ex-boyfriend." He asked, nervously, "If you had to choose, who would you pick?"
Rae didn't reply as her mind searched for the answer, she stared off into space blankly as she tried to decide which one she loved more. Finally, she responded softly, "I don't know."
"Who do you trust more?" He asked a different question.
"You."
"Who knows you better?"
"You."
"If you saw us both on dates with other girls, which would hurt you more?"
"You." As if a broken record she kept answering the same.
"Then why did you go out with him?"
"I felt if I didn't begin settling down soon, I would never get married," Rae admitted.
"I'm the one you call every night. I'm the one you tell everything to. You rant about your boyfriends, you cry on my shoulder after every breakup. You ruin my chances with any other girl." He listed off his view of how she used him over their years of friendship, "Did you never realize I was in love with you?"
"I did." In her state, she answered him honestly.
Aster stood up and began pacing the room, trying to calm himself down, "Did you tease me all those nights, just to keep me from getting over you?"
"Yes."
"Explain yourself," He demanded
"I knew if I was your first kiss, you would compare every girl to me. I then saw you making out with Kelly and knew it was not enough so I went further. I purposefully didn't tell you I was changing in my room, so you would see me naked. Left the shower only in a towel, so you never forget. Cuddled up next to you in thin night clothes, all so you never leave. I figured this would all be satisfactory to keep you by my side. Then I got a call from Jess. She gushed over how perfect you were, how much better you were than every other guy she dated. Ending with how she wanted to go the extra step and have sex with you. It hurt me as I felt you were drifting away from me. I got you drunk that night with the intention of stealing your first time, but I couldn't do it. So whenever you had a new date, I pretended to need you for something. Sabotaged your chances with the girls by talking bad about you to them, making up stories that ruined their interest in you." She went into detail over the years of manipulation she did to keep him by her side.
"You needed me. You couldn't imagine a life without me. So you ruined every relationship I ever had."
"I needed you. I couldn't imagine a life without you. So I ruined every relationship you ever had."
"I tried to be a nice person. A kind and considerate guy, hopeful you would eventually give me a shot. You never did though. You manipulated me every step of the way. Used me as you saw fit without care for how I felt." He explained, his anger rising again at the thought of what she put him through.
The room fell silent as Rae limply waited for the next question.
"Stand up." He demanded, expectantly, prepared to pay her back for the years of mental pain she put him through. But she remained still.
"Of course, it doesn't work that way," He sighed, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him. He couldn't force the subject to move while hypnotized.
