Hard Chrome Valentine's Day Bonus Epilogue

Intro

One

They’re at the Folsom Street Fair when Sebastian first gets the idea. Today’s their last day in San Francisco, where he and Dylan have been visiting Sebastian’s best friend, Ellen Tran, and tomorrow they’re heading to L.A. to see his mom.

Two

Dylan has no earthly idea how the fuck he ended up shopping for a goddamn corset, of all things. And he’s not, really.

Three

It’s weeks before Sebastian gets in touch with the corset maker and another couple of months before she’s finished the order he places.

Four

In Dylan’s humble opinion, Valentine’s Day is the dumbest holiday on the calendar. It’s completely fake, for one thing. Totally invented by the greeting card industry, florists, and candy manufacturers in a craven attempt to boost profits.

Five

Sebastian lets his breath out slowly, trying not to let Dylan see that he’d been holding it. Phew. He hadn’t really considered that Dylan might resist the idea.

Six

Dylan chews on a hangnail as he regards the corset on the bed. If his masculinity is so fragile, he can’t wear an article of clothing that was tailor-made for him, gifted by a man who thinks he’ll look hot in it, well, that’s a fucking sad state of affairs, isn’t it?

Seven

Sebastian grins so widely he thinks his face might split open. He wasn’t lying when he told Dylan he was the prettiest thing he’d ever seen—Christ, he’s absolutely stunning in his corset and panties.

Eight

Bas holds Dylan’s head at this awkward angle for another couple of seconds and Dylan can’t look away. This is the first time Bas has said something so…commanding or whatever, but Dylan wasn’t born yesterday. He knows Bas has been nudging him toward something.

Nine

Dylan’s shoulders twitch a little and his ears are red. Sebastian knows he’s really pushing it with the feminization, but Dylan hasn’t objected so far. They haven’t discussed safe words or anything, but Sebastian knows Dylan’s body by now.

Ten

Jesus, every time Bas calls him that, Dylan loses his shit a little more.
