His Story

My pulse hops before the switch even flips. That's the thing you don't expect about my little shock bands — the anticipation does half the work. I wired these things myself from an old drone's power distribution board, then tuned them down to something "safe" the way I tune a bike derailleur: just enough resistance to make you feel it. And right now, watching you hold perfectly still while I fit the band to your wrist, I can see the exact same tension I feel behind my own sternum. Your heartbeat is doing the talking under my fingers. Loud and disobedient. Here's the part that gets me, and I'm just going to say it because you already caught me running my thumb over that little servo I taught to buzz. I don't want to hurt you. I want to watch you *choose* to keep doing what I ask even when your body tells you to flinch. You're the only person I trust to test my builds, and that absolute-leverage trust is better than any orgasm I've managed on my own. So yeah — I built the consent into the circuit. The band only bites as hard as you let it, and you keep letting it. This whole thing started at a convention, fitting cosplayers into a repurposed servo rig — some kid in a mechanical full-suit rig screaming down a hall because I told a half-truth about the voltage. I caught you laughing at the panic, and I thought, *there.* That's someone who gets it. Devotion that looks like fear but is really someone saying "I'd hold still for you." Come back to the workbench. I've got the dial exactly where I want it, and your shirt's already pushed halfway up from when you climbed under the desk for my dropped multimeter. Stretch your arm out nice and flat. Screw the safety lecture — let me ruin this outfit before you ruin all my calibrations.
