Harley's POV:
I was very warm. Ugh, I tried rolling over but I was cocooned within the warmth. I rubbed my eyes, blinking. I was in Theo's bed, wrapped in about a dozen blankets. I unwrapped myself and noticed I had light gray sweatpants on, along with Theo's shirt. I stood up and looked in Theo's mirror, and I looked pretty normal. I used the scrunchie that was still around my wrist to pull my hair into a messy bun.
I heard talking downstairs, so I followed the noise and went down stairs and into the living room, where everyone was. Theo was on the couch, playing Call of Duty, with Sawyer and Brad on each side of him. Will was on the big armchair again, looking right back at me. The others were around the pool table, talking and sipping cans of beers.
Will gestured to me with open arms, "Rise and Shine, sleepyhead." Theo didn't even turn his attention from the TV, He just said, "Hey, Harley. Have a nice nap.?" I didn't even bother to answer him. I turned around and headed to the kitchen, where I had left my phone. I texted Quinn
H: Hey, you busy? Want to hang?
Q: Nah, just watching tv with Parker. Thought you were with Theo?
H: I am. But the gang is here.
Q: ohhhhh, ur uncomfortable

Q: see ya angelface
I took my phone and went upstairs, when Will appeared behind me on the staircase. "Where do you think you're going?" I kept walking upstairs and into the spare room that Theo had shown me last night. I opened the closet and looked at the clothes Theo had for me. "Out." I simply answered. Will chuckled, "Yeah, okay. Be more specific." Will leaked dominance into his voice, making it impossible not to tell him.
"The carnival. With Parker and Quinn." " And you think you are going with them by yourself?" "Uh yeah?" I said, grabbing different items of clothing to change into. Clothes that I never would normally wear. I was feeling a little rebellious. Maybe I didn't need to be Theo's little girl, I could be me, without being scared. Since it seemed he didn't really care enough to even notice me now. "Hey, Harley, look at me." I turned and looked up at him. He studied my face for a second.
"Okay, fine. But I am coming with you." He said. I sighed. "Okay." He looked down at the clothes I had mindlessly picked out. 'Why don't you pick out clothes you actually like?" I nodded. "Do you want help changing?" I thought for a second. If he did, I might slip and then I don't know what would happen. I shook my head, "no, thank you." "Okay, come back to the living room when you are done."
I nodded. I put the clothes back and pulled others out of the closet. I went into the bathroom and undressed, removing the white undergarment that I never used, and throwing it out. I pulled on the lace underwear and bra, both black, and then pulled on ripped blue jeans. Then I pulled over a black camisole and pulled on a white and black patterned flannel. I tugged my hair out of the messy bun, and ran a comb through my hair, creating loose waves. No make up today, I let myself be bare and beautiful. I went and found my white vans, which were right near my backpack. I slide them on, grabbing my phone, heading back downstairs.
I went into the living room, and the three idiots were still playing COD, and Will was standing, cross armed, by the door. "Ready, Harley?" He asked. He didn't really change much. He was in blacks jeans, his timberland boots, and a black t-shirt, with a black leather jacket over it. His gold chain shining over the black. I nodded, "yeah." At this Theo turned his head from the screen, making Brad and Sawyer squawk because they were killed. Theo's eyes skimmed my body, he stood up. "What's happening?" Will went to speak, but I cut him off. "We are going out. We'll be back later." Theo gapped at me, and I walked out of the room, Will close on my heels.
I got out the front door and down the walkway, only to realize that I didn't have a car. I stopped, and Will chuckled, "Come on, doll." He gestured to his jeep. Typical black Jeep Wrangler. He opened the door to the passenger seat, I got in and buckled myself, while he closed the door.
Theo had come outside and looked like he was arguing with Will. Will kept shrugging and laughing, while Theo got angrier and angrier. Theo kept gesturing to me. Theo went to approach the jeep, but Will stuck out his arm, blocking him. Will shook his head. Theo tried taking another step, pushing on Theo's arm. Will gave Theo a small push, and Theo looked back at him shocked. Will shook his head one last time and got into the car, starting it, and pulling out. Theo stood there, watching us drive away. I looked at Will, and he said, " Don't worry about it, Har. Theo is just possessive. He'll get over it." "I think he likes little Harley better." I admitted to him. Will kind of froze when I said that, but when he noticed that I noticed. He had a half smile. "Theo is a complicated guy, Har. He is one of those doms that constantly need their little to be little, because they don't know what to do when they aren't. That's why the first thing Theo did was to call me last night. He didn't know where to start. Plus, it doesn't help that Theo was once a little."
I was shocked. "What?" "Yeah, Theo is a switch. He used to be a little. A couple months ago, his dom did some pretty bad shit and his dom left, and Theo never submitted again. He refused too. He became a dom, and became so dominant, that the rest of us just let him lead." I tried to imagine Theo a little and I couldn't. "Waitttt, his dom? As in a guy?" Will chuckled, "Yeah, pretty confusing. I think our Theo goes both ways. Or at least his little side was attracted to men." I was even more confused. Curiosity got the best of me.
"What about you?" He glanced at me, "What about me?" I explained further, " What is your history with all of it?" "Oh, you mean in the dom community?" I nodded.
" I knew I was a dom since I was 14. I just knew it. I became friends with the gang around the time, and little by little all of us were a part of the dom community. I've never actually had a little girl of my own. Just never found the right one. And no, I wouldn't switch up, and go for a little boy. I want a girl, through and through. But with the whole Theo situation, when his dom left, it left Theo in a fragile state. He depended on that person 24/7 for years, so he didn't know what to do with himself. I cared for him until he got back on his feet. Quite literally in some ways. When Theo got into littlespace, he went far into it. Took him awhile to get back to normal, then it was as if he flipped a switch, he needed a little to feel complete. That's what I mean when he is possessive. But other than that, that's my dom story."
"when you say Theo went deep into little space...?" "That nursery you saw and were in? That used to be Theo's nursery. He used all of that. Actually it took me like half a year to toilet train him again. He was really dependent on me." The way Will kept talking about Theo, sounded endearing. "You cared for him." I said. Will nodded, "In a way, yeah. But not that way I would care for my own little girl. He is my best friend and he needed support." I still couldn't believe Theo of all people was a little before. Will broke my thoughts, "Enough of that for now. Why don't we forget all about that community and go have a blast tonight. We deserve it!"
We pulled into the parking lot and I nodded, "That sounds great." Will laughed and I joined in, as he swung into a parking spot. He stopped the car and got out, running to my door, opening in and gesturing with his hands, "For you, my queen." He said, in a British accent. I giggled and took his hand, sliding out of the car. "Why, thank you, kind sir."
He closed the door and locked the truck. Slinging an arm over my shoulder, "Come on, Lele. Let's go have some fun." I laughed, "Quinn used to call me that when we were kids, everyone kept making fun of us because my name was Harley and she was Quinn, so she shortened it to Lele." Will chuckled, "I like it. Harley and Quinn. Up to endless mischief. We should make a movie. Costumes and all." I laughed out loud. Will followed.
We approached the gate and I knew tonight would be a blast. I break from everything stressful. In a way..... I felt free....
