    Summary

    “Don’t shut down, Izzy, not now.” It was rare his husband did this anymore. They’d got to an excellent place with communication. The rare occasions he did this were just markers of especially bad days. But it made Stede wonder…

    He moved his hand up from Izzy’s cheek, into his hair, and gripped, just hard enough to make Izzy’s eyes widen but making sure he didn’t hurt him. “Is this what you need my love?” he asked, his tone a mixture of soft and yet firm somehow. Izzy felt his grip on the glass loosen a little, but Stede was quick to react, grabbing the wine and reaching back to place it on the side. “Words, Izzy. Is this what you need?”

    Izzy heard a whimper slip from his own lips, and his eyelids flutter ever so slightly, and the fog began to swirl in his head again, beginning to displace the hammering pain. His lips parted slowly, raising a hand to rest on Stede’s chest to try and keep himself present, just for a minute longer. “Yeah…” he almost croaked out, hand slowly fisting into Stede’s shirt.

     

    Stede and Izzy are just starting to explore Izzy's need for subspace. They don't always get it right, but Stede is more than willing to learn for him...
