"Thanks for telling me. That was a very good answer. And I get how you feel. There's nothing more I crave than being giving someone the love they deserve and getting the same in return." I smiled at him and he rubbed my shoulder.

"Um I never actually thanked you properly for being there when...you know...that happened." I cringed at the thought and clenched my fist. Ever since those two men tried to...I have been feeling not so great about myself but I've hid the way I felt cuz I didn't want people thinking I was weak. The only touch that made me feel protected was Theo's and I hadn't even known him for long but it just felt right.

"You don't have to thank me, Vienna. If you ever want to talk about it or just need someone to be with you, I'm always gonna be there." I nodded and looked at my lap.

"So, h-how does this thing work? What do we do?" I asked awkwardly changing the topic. I heard Theo let out a little chuckle.

"Well, someone's a keen bean. But, let's take it slow. This is all about trust and I want you to be able to trust me before we go any further. I'll introduce little things to you and give you a few rules that you have to follow but calling me daddy and more intense stuff can wait. Does that sound good to you?" I blushed just at the thought of that and nodded my head. I liked how he was going slow and letting me think things through. "If you wanna go slower or faster at any time, just let me know okay?" I nodded again, not being able to speak and he lifted my chin up with his finger.

"First rule, always answer in words."

I melted. His voice was commanding and stern at the same time soft and nurturing. I bit my lip and my eyes just widened a little. I couldn't believe this was actually happening. Oh lord.

"Yes, Theo." I blushed and he leaned in to kiss my forehead. I probably looked like a tomato.

"I know you've never been in littlespace before and you're probably confused what it even feels like but you'll know when you slip. I've seen a few little traits in you and it's adorable."

"What do you mean? I've been little?" I quizzed.

"Well I don't know about that but I've seen the way you act and little things you do. Your mannerisms change slightly and I feel like you'll settle in perfectly. Just keep an open mind and see how you go." My mouth formed an o shape and I blushed.

"I never knew that...I do feel fuzzy every time you use that voice. It makes me feel different." I admitted and he smiled at me sweetly.

"Does it, now? You'll hear a lot of it, that's for sure," he chuckled and I giggled along with him.

"C-can I know all the rules?"

"Yes of course. But before that, I wanted to make sure of something. I'm a very monogamous person and to put it straight, I don't like sharing. If we're gonna give this a try, I want to be the only person you're seeing, if that makes sense. And You'll obviously be the only person I'm seeing. I hope you're okay with that?" He sounded hopeful and he looked at me, expecting an answer.

I hadn't even thought of seeing someone else after meeting him, if I was being honest. "I wasn't even thinking about that. I like you and I don't wanna see anyone else." I said and he sighed. He smiled at me and I smiled back. I liked what we had and I didn't want anything else. Being exclusive sounded good to me.

"Thank you, I really appreciate that. I like you too and I don't even like the thought of you with someone else" I laughed at that and shook my head. He was being possessive in a good way and it was kind of hot. "So as for the rules. They're pretty easy to follow.
1. Use your words.
2. Make sure you eat 3 meals a day
3. If somethings bothering you, talk to me. Even if it's a small thing. I don't want you to be sad or upset about anything.
4. No swearing
5. No lying
6. Always use your manners. Say please and thank you to not only me, but everyone.
7. Drink at least 5 cups of water a day
8. Give me lots of hugs."

I chuckled at the last one and hugged him as he said that. "I understand! They don't sound too bad. Except the swearing and water. Do I get punished if I break them?"

"Yes, love. I'll give out the punishments as we go. Don't worry, I won't do anything that you're uncomfortable with."

He was being so nice. Even though I was anxious about this whole thing, I had a really good feeling about it. He made me feel safe. All these rules weren't even really rules. They were just things to keep me safe and healthy and I liked that. I didn't really take care of myself and this was just helping me with that.

"Thank you! Can I have some rules for you too??" I asked and he smiled at me before nodding. "I like cuddles and I wanna be cuddled a lot. I also want you to get me icecream anytime I want." I said as sternly as I could but he just laughed loudly.

"The first one, yes. But the second one, I'll decide if you deserve the icecream. Things like that are rewards. If you are a good girl, you'll get all the ice cream you want." He chuckled and I whined. It was worth a try. When he said good girl, my heart skipped a beat. I don't know why that work made me feel so...so...warm.

"Ugh fine! Can we get icecream right now?" I asked hopefully and he sighed with a smile.

"I guess you've been really good today. Let's go get your favourite gelato. What flavour are you feeling like today?"

"BUBBLEGUM!" I replied without wasting a second and he laughed.

We walked to my car and I let him drive us to the gelato place.
