Frank and I had gone over all sorts of rules with lists of punishments and rewards and went over safewords and everything while we were eating. They were all fine with me, they made me a little happy, actually. There was something about someone giving me rules that I really liked. It was Saturday afternoon and the two of us were just having fun while I tried to teach him different colors.

"This one is pink," I said, pointing to an article of clothing while we held hands.

"I thought this was pink," Frank said.

"That one is just a lighter pink while this is darker," I said.

"What's this?" Frank asked.

He pointed to a shirt that looked like a mix between pink, red, and brown.

"I don't know," I replied. "What colors do you know so far, daddy?"

"Um, there's pink, blue, green, purple, red, brown, orange, yellow," Frank listed, pointing to the different articles of clothing.

I smiled at him, leaning over to kiss his cheek. There were some other clothes with different colors but we just didn't know a name for them. Frank looked over at me suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed.

"I just realized, we've never seen ourselves in color, we've only ever seen each other," Frank remarked then smiled.

He stood up, pulling me with him and dragging me into his bathroom. I froze when I saw the mirror and I could see him do the same. I've seen my hair when it fell in my eyes but I hadn't realized just how bright it was. The red locks fell around my face to my shoulders as it framed my pale face. I blushed and saw my cheeks turn pink from it. My eyes were hazel, just like Frank's. My lips were light pink and rather pretty. I looked at my outfit and furrowed my eyebrows. I had a yellow sweater with a dark green skirt. It looked...bad?

"Wait, do not all colors look good together?" I asked, looking at myself.

Frank stopped staring at himself and looked at me. He didn't have a problem because he usually just wore all black, like how he was now with his black jeans and black t-shirt.

"No, I don't think that matches at all," Frank stated.

We looked at each other and started laughing.

"I must've been walking around dressing like a fool my whole life!" I exclaimed as I laughed.

Frank smiled, giving me a kiss.

"You still look absolutely beautiful," he said in adoration.

I gave him a hug, burying my face into his shoulder. We walked back out into his bedroom and I looked over at the corner of the room enviously. Jamia had a whole bunch of stuffies that were sitting on a chair. In fact, she had everything I could've ever wanted. There were toys and art supplies that Frank bought her. She had a large closet and plenty of pacis and snacks. She had Frank.

"Daddy, can we go shopping?" I asked.

"What do you wanna get, baby boy?" Frank asked.

"Can I get a paci and maybe a stuffy too?" I begged, sticking out my bottom lip and giving him puppy dog eyes.

"Well, I can't say no to a pretty face like that," Frank agreed.

I squealed happily, giving him a kiss and pulling him along with me down the stairs. I want Frank to spoil me like he does Jamia.

"Baby, do you have homework to do?" Frank asked.

"Yes," I stated.

"As soon as we get back then you have to do it," Frank said. "You don't want to put it off until last minute."

"But--"

"You will do it or I'm not taking you to the mall," he said.

"But then after I'm done can we still cuddle?" I asked.

I didn't want to waste time on our weekend just doing homework, I wanted to spend it all with him.

"Of course we can, little one," Frank reassured.

He kissed my cheek and we headed out the door. My clothes still didn't match but I didn't really care at the moment. We got into his car, driving off to the mall that was only a few blocks away. By the time we got there, I was so excited I was bouncing a little. Frank only chuckled as he parked the car and we got out.

As soon as we got inside, I could tell he was acting a little bit weird. He kept his hands in his pockets, looking around at the store windows and the other people nervously. I frowned, watching him as we walked.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Frank asked.

"You seem nervous," I remarked.

"Oh I'm just worried that someone I know might see us together," he explained. "You know, someone who might tell Jamia about our relationship."

I nodded understandingly but wanted nothing more than to just be able to hold his hand and kiss his cheek. We walked into a store and Frank lead me over to the corner of it where the pacifiers were.

"Pick any one you want," he said.

I felt his hand on my back and suddenly everything was bright and colorful. It made me feel happier.

There were many different ones in all sorts of colors. I was conflicted between getting a light green one or a light pink one. I just wished there was hazel. I bit my lip, feeling drawn towards the pink one as I lifted it up. It was light pink with white polka dots and a white little handle sort of thing on the end. I held it up for Frank to see and he smiled.

"I think it's perfect for you," Frank said.

I blushed and he went to the register to pay for it. Frank then walked with me to the toy store on the other side of the mall. We weren't touching so the world was just full of dull greys that made me a little sad. I could tell from the look on Frank's face that it made him a little sad too.

We got to the store and I looked around at everything. There were toy cars and big dollhouses, stuffed animals and electronic robots. I walked over to the stuffies and felt his hand on me again to help me see the colors. His touch was so warm and comforting and I never wanted him to let go of me. I felt drawn towards one, probably because it was the most colorful. It was a simple little bear with bright green fur. It seemed to be almost glowing. I looked closer and saw that its eyes were hazel, which made smile.

"I want this one!" I exclaimed.

He smiled and kissed my forehead. We paid for this too and I happily walked out of the store, looking down at my new bear as Frank had his hands in his pockets. We went into a different store so Daddy could buy a new pair of jeans before we left. I smiled happily as we drove back to Frank's house and I waved my bear's arms around, making little sounds.

"What are you gonna name it?" Frank asked.

I thought for a moment as Frank reached over and rested a hand on my knee. Now that I could see in colors, the answer to that seemed so obvious.

"I'm gonna name her Flo!" I declared.

"Yeah? Why's that?" Frank asked with a chuckle. "Does she remind you of the lady from the commercials?"

I pouted and shook my head. "Because Flo is short for Fluorescent and the bear is very bright."

Frank squeezed my knee lovingly. "My baby is so smart."

I smiled proudly and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you, daddy."

"Anytime, baby boy."

He turned the music up and I smiled happily, hugging Flo to my chest. It was starting to get a little bit late by the time we got home.

"You gotta do your homework now," Frank said as we stepped inside.

I crossed my arms and pouted. "I don't wanna."

"Homework, now," Frank ordered. "I will take your stuffie away."

I frowned as I grabbed my bag and sat down at the kitchen table. I pulled out my textbook and my notebook and began doing my homework sadly. A few moments later and Frank sat beside me with a pile of papers.

"What are you doing, daddy?" I asked.

"Well, I've gotta grade my students' papers too," Frank replied.

I smiled softly as I went back to my work. A half an hour later and I was frustrated and stuck on a problem. I looked up at Frank, who was marking something down on someone's paper.

"Daddy, can you help me?" I asked. "I don't get it."

He smiled and leaned closer, looking over the problem. He told me how to do it and explained it but wouldn't just give me the answer no matter how much I pouted and pleaded.

"Baby, I'm a teacher and I know that you need to do the work yourself to learn," Frank said.

"But, daddy, we can have more time together if you just told me the answers," I begged, giving him my best puppy dog eyes.

"And there'll still be time after you do your homework," Frank said.

I straddling his hips on his chair, kissing softly on his neck. I felt his hands on my hips as he lifted me up and sat me back into my own while I pouted.

"You do your homework first," Frank stated, then leaned in close to my ear with a hand on my thigh. "And then after we can have so much fun."

He squeezed my thigh and I shuddered, looking up at him. Frank smirked, going back to grading papers. I turned back to my textbook, feeling the warm tightening in my stomach just thinking about all that we could do. I tried to focus on my work as best as I could to finish it as fast as possible. My cheeks were still flushed pink and my heart was starting to beat faster.

"I'm done!" I exclaimed, shutting my book quickly.

Soon enough I was in Frank's lap, kissing him heatedly.
