The boy I mentioned last time? He's still mine, wearing an even more personally important collar than he was at the time.
This isn't always easy, despite experience and good intentions on everyone's part. He's new (but within all applicable rules of eligibility, you dirty-minded people), and he has issues.
But he's also adorable, fiercely smart, and seems to fit in with my quirky personality as well as anyone I've ever known. He's conquered lots of adversity but still bears scars from the battles, and I know something about that. His huge desire to submit does not always translate into an ability to take the next logical steps, and that makes it challenging at times.
But I'm not going anywhere. If he is not the right boy for me, then there is no "right boy for me." If he's not Mr. Right ("boy right?"), then Mr. Right isn't out there.
He's going to play with others (with permission), as will I, but he is mine. This makes him intensely happy, and not much has been able to make him intensely happy. It's just not going to be a whirlwind romance.
But aren't the good things always the ones you have to work for?
