The Gift

“Brian, this is crazy. We can’t buy a wedding gift at Slings & Eros.”

“Sunshine, look at the couple we’re buying a gift for.”

“But there’s nothing tasteful here. The only thing this place has are things for kinky play and that’s not appropriate for an occasion like this.”

“Now, now, you just have to be creative with your interpretation of the word tasteful. Remember, you’re talking to a very selective shopper.”

“You have a strange sense of shopping etiquette. I still remember that sling you bought Michael and Ben as a housewarming gift.”

“First of all, Justin, that was a gift for inviting us to the worst set-up of a dinner I’ve ever experienced.”

“Point well taken. That was a borderline set-up. They deserved a little bit of a comeuppance.”

“And second, that was over six years ago. Even I have matured since that long ago time.”

“And now another of our friends is actually tying the knot.”

“Do you remember everyone’s reaction when we finally did?”

“Yeah, and I remember when they all got pissed off because no one was invited.”

“Well, we had the wedding that was truly us.”

“But we did miss out on a lot of great gifts.”

“Like a water buffalo.”

“Point well taken. So what are we getting them.”

“Knowing them, I thought this would be the perfect gift.”

“Oh my god, Brian. Can we get them engraved?”

“But of course, we’ll have the date and their initials engraved on each one.”

Three weeks later...

“Hey.”

“Hey. Guess what we got in the mail.”

“I don’t guess.”

“Sorry, don’t know what I was thinking. We got the thank you note from the grooms.”

“And...”

“Here, let me read it to you.

Dear Brian & Justin,
Thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful and generous gifts. We love them and used them frequently, particularly on our honeymoon. Drew never wore a cock-ring before, but he said if it’s gold, AND from Brian and Justin, it must be a worthwhile accessory. Although, I wish I’d reminded Drew about the fact that certain things shouldn’t be worn when going through the metal detectors at the airport. That truly started our honeymoon off on an interesting note. Hugs & Kisses, Emmett

All that could be heard from the loft was boisterous laughter.
