Your Greatest Treasure

"Okay, watch your step! We're almost there."

"Alright, alright...Hey! Don't shove so hard!"

"Sorry, I'm just so excited!"

"Clearly."

"Aaaaand....ta-da!"

Your eyes are freed from darkness and lavender scented hand sanitizer and light floods them. You squint a bit, recoiling from the sudden exposure to harsh light and take a quick view of your surroundings. Your partner has taken you down to what seems to be their basement. Filled with random tools, out of season decorations, and a gently humming water heater. However, this normal sight for you is undercut by what seems to have been what they were so insistent on showing you.

A...mask?

It wasn't anything special. The mask's face was split in color: half-red and half-white. The eyes were striking, solid red; almost seeming to be glowing with the light reflecting off of them. But the mouth...that's what got you.
It was curled in a large smile, the mouth wide open in a perpetual laugh. The mouth's interior was black, almost like a void. Something about it catches you off guard; the way the smile stretched and seemed to reach the eyes of the inanimate object. As if the mask was laughing itself, despite the fact no sounds were being made. It...certainly was an interesting mask.

Suddenly, the sound of fingers snapping wakes you from your short stupor. You jump a bit, and face your partner; wearing a slightly pleased expression.

"I take it that means you like it?" they chirp, a smile lighting their face.

You glance back at the mask, then meet your partners gaze.

"It's something, all right." you respond, "That smile is really..."

"Creepy? Yeah, I know! I knew that yard sale would have something you fancied!"

You chuckle, your heart warming at their excitement.

But, even though you're not quite looking at it anymore you can still see the smile of the mask in your mind's eye.

"So!"

You look up, and your partner has moved to the table the mask is on. They picked it up with their hands and are playing with it. Slowly passing in between hands and shooting you a cheeky look.

"...so?"

"Put it on! I wanna see you wear it!"

Your heart skips a beat...what? Over a silly little mask? You quickly brush it off.

"Oooh, no." you protest, crossing your arms in front of you, "That thing is not going on my face."

"Come on! I'd bet you'd look all stupid in it!~", they teased, waving it slightly in front of you.

Your eyes, catch on the motion. Like a metronome, the abyss-like mouth seems to widen; the smile taking up so much space it seemed like it could swallow you whole...

You force yourself to tear away from the mask's gaze, and have your back facing from your partner; arms folded in mock protest.

"Not gonna happen!~" you say, unconvincingly to even you.

A silence fills the room for just a moment; long enough to make you question if they decided to drop it. Then, you felt an arm wrap around your shoulders and neck. Your partner rests their chin in the crook of your neck and, with their best puppy-dog eyes, tried to convince you to slip it on.

"Oh, pleeeeaaase... Won't you wear this mask for little ol' me? Your partner who you love oh, so much?"

...Damn.

You know you can't resist those eyes. It seems like the mask isn't the only thing that has a hold on you.

"If I must..." you surrender, gently taking the mask from them.

With a soft "Squee!', they take a step back and watch you with the mask with expectant eyes. Again, you take a look at the mask that has captivated you in such a short amount of time. You give it a quick look and...tear it away again; lest you find yourself getting sucked back into it.

With a sigh, you flip the mask. You slowly bring the mask up to your face and feel the plastic cover your face. You remember to hold it with one hand, since you don't remember seeing a strap to keep it in place.

It feels...like a mask. Honestly, you don't know what you were expecting. Something more special with the way it's been pulling you in for the past few minutes. But...no. It just feels like a mask you'd wear from Halloween as a kid. The material pressing against your skin and the feeling of your own hot breath around your mouth. It feels...so...

"...ridiculous."

The word slips tumbles out before you can stop it. You feel heat around your face, and not just from your own breath. This mask is so absurd, it's flustering you. It's a little embarrassing...

"What? No...." your partner giggles, barely stifling a laugh.

You glance at them. Through the tinted lens, you see your partner covering their mouth; a pitiful attempt to try to not laugh at you. Their eyes welling up with mirthful tears, trying not to look for fear of erupting into laughter. Something about the way they're trying so desperately not to break into giggles is so...

Funny.

You let out a small chuckle. Why not? You're no stranger to being the butt of the joke, so what's a little humoring them? You begin to let out a small chortle, relishing in this moment you two are sharing. Unfortunately, your partner took the chuckle as a sign to let loose. They began to collapse onto the floor with a swarm of chortles, tears now fully beginning to fall down their face.

You...find yourself following in their lead. Those smaller laughs beginning to grow in volume, allowing yourself to (𝘴𝘯𝘳𝘬!) engage in the deluge of laughter. Both of your guffaws begin to echo across the concrete wahalls of the basement, which only makes you both hehe laugh more! It's funny haha! You haven't laughed this hahard is so ha! long! Its feeheeheels so good!

After a bit your pahartner calms down! You hear the telling snrk! sigh of someone content with aha! good belly laugh. So hehe! you feel it's appropriate to stop now!

Hehehe! Okay...now!

Hahahaha!

Hehe why...hehe!

"Honey? Hun, are you okay?"

You hear Their voice. Without thought, with the mask's laugh still reverberating within your ears, you move towards your Lover. Bringing yourself before their radiant visage, you take a knee and await their orders. Without words. What are they needed for. You serve and obey your treasure! Your treasure's will is all; you live to serve. You find pleasure in service. You serve your treasure.

"What's with the kneeling? Come on, baby. Talk to me!" they say, panic dripping into their voice.

"Yes, my love? What will you have of me?" you respond autonomously, devotion evident.

They recoil, most likely not expecting you realizing your place.

"Why...are you talking like that? Is this a prank?" they ask, leaning towards you suspiciously. Clearly, They are skeptical of your dedication to them. No matter, you will make your subservience clear to them.

You take one of Their hands into yours and give it a deep kiss; marking it with your saliva. They blush, not expecting that act of submissiveness. You continue to mar their hand with your spit, a silent sign of your unwavering obedience to Them.

After a bit, you stop. You rest on your legs now, hands resting on your knees. Then, with as much passion as you can muster, you pour your heart into declaring your devotion.

"I have learned my place. Beneath you, in service to you. My will is now bound to you, my treasure. My duty is to protect and guard you. To ensure that every need and desire you could ever have is met. Any wish you have is a command I shall carry out to the best of my ability. So long as I wear this mask, I hear and I obey your every word."

Silence settles upon you two for a bit. They are clearly processing the face that the partner they were teasing moments ago are now their hapless, obedient little puppet. After a bit, you catch a smirk begin to form on their face. The expression sends your heart aflutter, as if you were still your own person.

"Anything?" They ask sensually, strutting towards your kneeling form.

"Anything, my treasure." you say. You can't help but let a bit of your own desire leak into your voice.

They gently grab the collar of your shirt and tug it up towards Their face. They look upon you with a combination of love and desire.

"Well, then..." They say, whispering into your ear. "Let's test that, shall we?~"

You chuckle.

"Yes, my treasure.~"
