Conditioned and brushed
Added 2022-07-28 22:10:52 +0000 UTCYou and your partner realise that they may have created a conditioned response within you.

You made a soft noise as your partner’s fingers gently ran through your hair. You felt memories float to the surface. Memories of them doing a hair brushing an induction. Of them playing with your mind as they played with your hair. You knew that this was different.
All the same, you felt your mind relaxing, gently. Softly, with each motion of their hand over your scalp. You were safe, it was just the two of you. You let your eyes close, the noise of the tv fading into the background as you let yourself focus on this sensation.
“You enjoying something, babe?” Your partner sounded slightly amused, as they stopped. You looked up at them, still feeling slightly hazy.
“I, uh, yeah.” You smiled up at them.
They grinned back, and resumed.
“I mean, it makes sense. I’ve done this to relax your body and mind so many times before. It just makes sense that you’d automatically unwind as I played with your hair. You’re so good at letting my conditioning in, aren’t you, my love?” You nodded softly into their lap.
They laughed, gently. “That’s it. Just sink, and drift for me. Just taking a moment to enjoy being relaxed, and peaceful, away from the rest of the world. Until it’s time to come back up for me now. Up into the waking world, still feeling peaceful, and gentle. There we go.”
