Art and Sole: Part 3

 “Art and Sole”

PART 3

“Alright let’s get this party started!” Kazzy exclaimed as she took one of the DVDs from June and popped it in and the two flopped down onto the low couch. Both of them were absolutely enthralled by the series which was loosely based on Puss in Boots about the exploits of a gentleman cat in the Italian countryside. It had such a soothing and calming charm to it and the art and animation style was stunning to behold. By the end of the first episode Kazzy had finished her drink and looked to June.

“Freshen up your drink?” She inquired with a grin as June downed the rest of her glass in one gulp.

“Hit me!” She replied, holding it towards the goblin. Kazzy had forgotten to mention that this batch of limoncello was made with a particularly strong brand of vodka and yeah June was feeling it already. Kazzy quickly ran to the kitchen to refill both glasses and returned, handing one off to June who was now feeling very chilled out to the point where she got more comfortable, sliding off her slippers and curling up at the end of the couch with her feet tucked against her. However the sudden shift caused a shooting pain in her foot. She winced as she grabbed onto it and let out a soft groan. Kazzy had just started episode 2 when her attention was drawn to June and could see her pained expression.

“You okay?” She inquired with eyes wide. 

“Yeah I’m good. I ran a marathon today at work and my feet are killing me.” She replied with a pleasant smile. Immediately Kazzy sat up and set her glass down on the end table before motioning her hand towards June and then patting her lap.

“Okay, hand’em over.” She requested with a stern look on her face to which June looked on in confusion.

“Wait wha-EEP!” She began to reply before Kazzy reached over, grabbing her ankles and yanking the femboys feet into her lap.

“I will not sit idly by while a friend is in need!” She explained with a smirk as she placed her hands on June's feet sending chills down the femboy’s spine; another Pavlovian response. June sat up slightly resting on her elbows feeling rather nervous by the whole scenario despite the booze in her bloodstream.

“Oh no that’s okay you don’t ha-ooooOOOOOOooooooooooh!” June began to say before breaking into a long moan as Kazzy’s surprisingly strong hands squeezed the femboys feet tight. Junes' eyes rolled back, falling flat onto the couch with the biggest smile across her face as Kazzy gave her a very deep and soothing foot massage. It was heavenly! 

“How does that feel, hon?” Kazzy said in a soft almost sensual voice as June looked down at her. The side of her head facing June had the hair tucked behind one ear while golden locks spiraled down the other side as she gazed down at June’s feet with such a serine and loving look on her face. June could tell right away this woman had no other intention than to selflessly ease her pain in more ways than one. Maybe it was because she was tipsy but at that moment she began to feel very emotional. 

Why couldn’t you be a guy?

“EEHEE!” June squeaked as Kazzy’s fingernail accidentally grazed along her right arch. The goblin didn’t turn to June or even look up but her eyes widened for a moment and then they slowly turned towards June. Then she made the face that June was all too familiar with and absolutely lived for; a mischievous smile!

“Oh goodness! Is someone *gasp*….ticklish?” Kazzy inquired in a comical manner turning towards the squirmy femboy who could only whimper in response as she clutched her hands to her cheeks and clenched her feet together tight. June was in no way seductive but she did have her own unique way of enticing others. She had the adorably shy submissive routine down to an art form that she used on anyone she was comfortable with hoping they’d take the bait and tickle her silly!

“And you’re not pulling away? How very interesting.” Kazzy continued as she placed one hand across the top of June’s ankles and with the gentle touch of butterfly kisses she fluttered her fingertips up and down the femboys soles.

“Kazeeeeeeeeheeheeheeheeheeee!” June whined and giggled as she grasped at her face but struggled to keep her feet right where they were. It was unreal how ticklish her feet felt right now! Was it the booze or was it something else entirely?

“I’m barely even holding you and you aren’t even telling me to stop! Could it beeeeeee that you like it? Or even *gasp* love it?” She inquired further in that sweet and playful tone as her fluttering became a gentle skittering of nails along her fleshy soles. June squealed like mad and was definitely enjoying herself but realized if things were going to continue this way, she had to come clean.

“Hohohohold oooon!” She exclaimed as she sat up quickly and grabbed Kazzy’s hands, catching her breath.

“As much as I absolutely love this, there’s something I need to tell you.” She said as the anxiety began to well up not knowing how Kazzy would react to the truth about her. Kazzy blinked in confusion for a moment and then smirked while also having a hyper excited little dance in her head over hearing how much June loved being tickled!

“Don’t tell me you’re actually a raccoon! I couldn’t stand such a bombshell to be dropped!” She replied in a dramatic fashion causing June to burst out laughing once more as she fell back on the couch. June then took a deep calming breath as the liquid courage worked its magic just as Kazzy went back to the gentle massage.

“It’s like…um…I’m…..a…guy…” She finally forced out clenching her eyes tight for a moment before opening one and looking up at Kazzy. The goblin was utterly frozen in place looking straight ahead with eyes wide and seemed to stare into space blankly. After a few moments she then slowly turned to June who was absolutely terrified! Suddenly her face erupted into the most joyous squealing display June had ever seen! 

“Oh my god June, that’s fantastic!” She squealed happily as June was rendered absolutely dumbfounded.

“R…really?” She inquired with an amused expression to which Kazzy nodded back.

“Yeah, so am I!” Kazzy replied happily as June seemed to have no reaction at all. Her face was completely neutral and indifferent as if this were the most unimportant bit of info she could have heard. But the reality was her brain had refused to process this information as a means of protecting itself!

“I’m sorry?” She finally replied in a calm and collected voice as the beaming Kazzy nodded, looked down as she unzipped the top of her onesie and pulled the flaps aside revealing her very flat and very male chest. June’s eye began to twitch as this revelation began hammering away at her mental defenses until it finally leaked in and she became unresponsive for a full minute.

June.exe has stopped working and needs to close.

“June? Hellooooooo? Earth to Juuuune!” Kazzy called out as she waved her hands in front of the catatonic femboys face.

“Boobs! But you have boobs!” June unexpectedly exclaimed, her face now very much showing fear and panic as Kazzy blinked for a moment before having a horrible realization, hands now crossed over her mouth.

“Oh nooooooo! Oh…oh June I am so sorry! As much as social awareness has changed things, the public school system is a very political work environment and there are still plenty of parents who would feel uncomfortable with a femboy teaching their kids. So I kinda…um…wear chest inserts while…at work…” She began to explain feeling so horribly guilty with a very awkward and embarrassed smile on her face.

June was technically processing everything Kazzy was saying but she was also reevaluating everything that had happened so far and realized something. This loving, compassionate, amazing woman who had made her feel so comfortable and had until moments ago been playfully tickling her feet…WAS A GUY!!! And perhaps there could have been a chance to salvage the rest of evening if not for what happened next. June was brought back to awareness by a loud gasp from Kazzy who now stared down with deep red blushing cheeks and both hands covering her mouth…

…June was rock hard and it was sticking straight up under her sweatpants.

June looked down as her eyes welled up before she completely freaked out, letting out a painful wail and yanked her feet away. She then curled up and doubled over, head tilted down against her knees as the utter humiliation consumed her!

“J…June? It’s…it’s okay re-“ Kazzy began to interject before the red-panda turned to her with the most terrified look and suddenly jumped up and bolted for the door, swinging it open wildly and disappearing down the hallway without a word. Kazzy felt heartbroken for the poor thing but also ashamed for the part she had to play in all this.

“Dammit Kazzy…” She mumbled to herself as she facepalmed. Once back in her apartment June slammed the door shut and then fell into it, sliding down to the floor as the tears poured out of her in torrents. Marinating in all the painful events of this horrible day she let out an anguished blood curdling scream and would cry hysterically for the rest of the night. She had allowed herself to become vulnerable and open up to someone but of course she ruined it. She had never felt so very worthless and pathetic in her entire life.  

For the next 3 days June locked herself away in her apartment and slipped into a depression-induced lethargy; sleeping away most of each day. She had accrued a staggering number of sick days at work she had never used since even while sick she had worked remotely from home and was intent on using them as long as it took. She had shut off her phone and would wake up just long enough to eat or use the bathroom before crawling back into bed and crying herself to sleep. Occasionally she’d hear a knock on her door knowing it was Kazzy making her cringe and whimper painfully only wanting her to forget she ever existed and move on with her life!

On day 3 she was walking from the bathroom back to her bedroom when she heard a fairly louder knock causing her stop and look towards the door.

“Juuuuune? If you’re there you better answer the door if you know what’s good for you!” A mature and irritated voice called out. It was Mab; in her miserable state she had even neglected the woman she had become undyingly loyal to for so many years. Slowly the door opened and Mab began to speak.

“Why haven’t you been answering your phone?! Do you have any idea how worried I’ve be-*” She began to say in an authoritative tone before June stepped into view, looking completely disheveled with dark rings under her eyes and a distant look of absolute misery. In the span of 2 seconds Mab shifted from disciplinarian to worried sick mother as she dropped to her knees and clutched Junes' cheeks softly.

“Oh my god June you look awful! What happened?!” She inquired gazing at June with unbridled compassion. Tears began to stream down Junes' cheeks as the sobbing resumed.

“M…M…MAAAAAAAB!!” She cried out as she fell into her mistress's arms, bawling profusely. Mab would spend the next half hour on Junes couch as the hysterical femboy told her the sad tale of all that had transpired 3 days earlier.

“…and then she said…I am too!” June exclaimed as she got to the climax of the story. Mab’s eyes went wide as she placed her fingers against her temple.

“Oh sweet Jesus. Let me guess; the moment you realized you were being tickled by a guy…” Mab began to inquire as June interjected.

“Yup…pup tent…full mast…” She replied as she placed her head back in her hands. Mab leaned on one arm and rolled her eyes slightly.

“June…you do realize that this reaction to someone seeing your boner is pretty ridiculous don’t you? Hell plenty of people would be flattered that they turned someone on like that.” Mab commented with a smirk.

“YOU DON’T KNOW HER!!” June shot back loudly causing Mab to flinch and recoil slightly, never having seen June act this way before. And granted June did know it was ridiculous for her to be acting this way having only known Kazzy for such a short time but she had never been made to feel so comfortable and at ease by anyone so quickly. She felt like she ruined something that could have been amazing.

“She’s…so good and sweet…and…pure…and I feel like I tainted her purity with my filthy body!” June continued as she struggled to hold back the tears. Mab blinked and realized that discovering Kazzy was a guy totally redefined how June felt about her. She was crushing on her something fierce!

“To be fair you don’t really know her either. And she’s also a grown adult; I’m certain she has the emotional maturity to deal with a spontaneous chub. Has she made any attempts to talk to you at all since then?” Mab added as June looked away and winced slightly.

“She’s been knocking at my door for the past 2 days but I just can’t bring myself to answer.” June replied as her voice trembled. Mab thought to herself for a moment as to the best course of action. She knew June better than she knew herself and was well aware that the femboy was way stronger and more determined than she would ever admit to herself especially regarding her loyalty to people she considered to be her friends. Mab took a deep cleansing breath as she slipped back into a more domineering cadence.

“So your plan is to burn through all of your sick days? And then what?” She inquired in a firm tone as June looked up at her, recognizing the tone of voice meaning Mab was taking the gloves off. 

“First thing you’re going to do is go take a shower; you stink. Then what you’re going to do is get cleaned up, get dressed, march up to Kazzy’s apartment and sort this out with her. If she’s truly as sincere and compassionate as you claim then you owe her at least that much.” Mab instructed as June cowered, the very idea filling her with dread!

“M…Mab…I don’t know if I can…” June began to whimper in response. Mab realized this must be serious if June was at a point where she was even resistant to a direct request from her mistress. She shook her head slowly in disappointment as she then looked at June with cold eyes. June had rarely seen that look but feared it more than most; the idea of her mistress being unhappy with her being so unbearable! Mab knew this was the only way June could move past this regardless of the outcome. She needed closure of some kind. 

She just needed a push.

“I didn’t want to have to do this June but it seems you’ve forced my hand.” She said in a monotone voice as June's eyes widened in fear. No she wouldn’t! She couldn’t!

“Your mistress commands it.” Mab added in a firm tone of voice, her intense feline eyes burning a hole straight through June who was frozen like a deer in the headlights. June knew that when Mab used that phrase, there was no way out and if she even attempted to resist, she would be punished severely for it! She dared not even make a sound to indicate her anxiety, simply nodding in response. Mab smiled softly, leaning over and placing a gentle kiss on the femboy’s forehead.

“You know I love you dearly and I also know you can do this. I’ll see myself out.” Mab said in a sweet tone as she released June and stood. The femboy sat there wide eyed and trembling horribly as the reality began to sink in of what she had to do. She had to look into Kazzy’s beautiful, kind eyes and…

“Don’t overthink this June. Just do what needs to be done.” Mab added as she opened the door. 

“We’re still on for coffee on Sunday right?” She inquired momentarily turning back.

“Y…yeah sure.” June replied nervously as Mab smiled warmly at her. 

“Love ya hon.” Mab said sweetly as she left the room. 

That shower was one of the longest June had ever taken as she mulled over so much indecision, doubt and paralyzing fear. She didn’t cry though, she felt like she had run dry at this point but she still felt like she could go into a full on panic attack at any moment. She got dressed, putting on her favorite “cute” outfit; pink overalls and a long sleeved white and blue striped shirt. Her intent wasn’t to entice but rather maybe if she looked adorable enough, Kazzy would soften the blow.

June stood outside Kazzy’s apartment door for about 5 minutes unable to move. How could she face her? How could she after humiliating herself the way she did? She slowly raised her hand about to knock but the door opened before she had the chance. Kazzy stood there in surprise as they locked eyes. 

“J…June!” Kazzy chirped in surprise as her expression became visibility troubled and awkward which felt like daggers in June's heart. The red panda femboy felt horrible for being responsible in ridding her face of that beaming smile. The way the light pouring through the window behind her gave her a heavenly glow and made June feel like she had committed blasphemy against a true Angel.

 “Um…” June began to stammer nervously before Kazzy stepped to one side.

“Please come in June. There’s something I need to talk to you about.” Kazzy said in a soft but nervous voice making June cringe with embarrassment. This was going to be bad. 

Slowly she entered as Kazzy closed the door behind her…
