Cleaning

“Okay toy. Are you ready?” You were. This had become your favourite part of the year, a chance to examine yourself, and to reflect. As your partner knelt down with you, you turned onto your back, and placed your head in their lap, looking up into their eyes.
They smiled down at you, and cupped their hands around your head, beginning to massage your scalp. “Right then toy. Relax for me, drop deep for me. Deeper and deeper with every movement of my fingers on your head. Feeling so peaceful, so wonderful.”
You began to slip under, almost instantly. You were so conditioned to their voice by this point, it was so easy to give in. “Letting your mind be carried away by my voice. Letting your thoughts empty away. Cleaning your mind of any excess stress for me.”
Their fingers felt wonderful, moving in small circles on the side of your head. Each motion felt like they were gently reshaping your mind. Taking away some of the year’s stresses, and worries, and leaving it open to new things. Just like every year.
This had started as a way to let you and them reflect on your relationship, a ritual of sorts, to allow habits to fall away, and to think about where you both wanted to go with this in the new year. It had, since then, become something to simply signify the new year.
