Chapter Text
It has been about a week since Anthony had officially came back to Smosh, and to Ian, it was better than ever, he had his best friend who he swore that he was on the same wavelength as him back and it felt like a breath of fresh air. It helped him even more when Ian was sitting outside of Anthony's house, music playing low on the speakers, the sun shining down.
When Anthony came back, him and Ian decided to ride to work together sometimes, especially when they knew that they both were going to be there a while that day, it would be better to have that company while heading home.
Today they were going to be doing a shoot with bbno$ for the music video that they were doing with him called "Submissive and Breedable". They were told to wear comfortable light clothes so Ian was just in some shorts and a t-shirt while Anthony was running out of the house in shorts that were shorter than his and a tighter t-shirt, showing off all the muscle that he had gained.
"Are you really taking to the part today?" Ian asked as Anthony sat in the passengers seat, putting his backpack between his legs on the floorboard, calves flexing and releasing as he moved to get more comfortable where he was sitting.
"Hey, Kiana said to dress in comfortable, light clothes. And what if I do look breedable? I am going to be on my knees begging later anyways," Anthony argued back, watching a slight glint in Ian's eyes at that last part.
Ian's sexuality, unlike Anthony's, was a big question mark, he wasn't too sure what he liked, or who he liked, he was more of the type of person who would say he likes everyone, and apparently in the moment, that also included his best friend who was going on about how he was going to be on his knees begging later for a part of one of the shoots that they were going be doing.
"Remember we are going to be doing that TikTok first for the Smosh account to be teasing that we are doing something with bbno$ and then we are going to be doing the actual video shoot," Ian said watching Anthony nod and look out the window, subconsciously spreading his legs slightly to get more comfortable in the seat, humming along to the Frank Ocean song that was playing on Ian's bluetooth.
As they pulled up to the set, they smiled at their friends and crew, talking to everyone about what they were going to be doing, going to see Courtney and Amanda who were going to be the "dominant" ones in the video, Amanda as a dominatrix and Courtney being along the same lines.
"You two aren't going to be getting dressed for this TikTok, we just wanted to go on and get Court and Amanda in their things because they have a lot more going on," Kiana said approaching the two men who were looking at their outfits in the corner of the room, it made their stomachs flip while staring them down.
The two men nodded as they looked over at the leashes that were sitting on one of the tables, they were about to have to put collars on, they were about to really be doing this.
"Alright boys, get those collars on and Anthony you are with Courtney and Ian you are with Amanda," Kiana said watching the women walk towards the men and talk to the both of them, for them, this was just a normal day.
"Do you need help with the collar?" Courtney asked Anthony, getting a shake of the head in response before sliding it on himself, sticking two fingers between his neck and the collar to test if it was too tight or not.
The sight of Anthony being in a collar and having the leash attached to it made the butterflies swarm like mad in Ian's stomach, he didn't think that it would be this hot watching your best friend get tugged slightly by a leash that one of your friends is holding. Deep down past the attractiveness of it all, there was jealousy, he wanted to be the one tugging on that leash.
Ian's mouth was dry, he already had his collar on helped by Amanda, all he could do was stare at Anthony's neck, how the dark leather collar complimented his tattoos on his neck and his tan skin due to the weather outside being hotter. It made him look beautiful, and Ian in that moment, wanted to just devour him.
"Alright everyone, ladies you two look amazing, we are going to be doing this shoot now, bbno$ is inside filming some of the indoor shoots so it is just going to be you two for the outside ones," Kiana said looking at Ian and Antony who nodded and got on all fours, looking at each other.
It was a simple shoot, they were supposed to be acting like dogs and sniffing each other occasionally and eventually they moved to the kitchen where Ian was going to be eating some chips and Anthony was going to be doing a "trick", it was just spinning in a circle and shaking hands.
Ian was looking from the distance, seeing Anthony have these big, begging eyes as he was shaking Courtney's hand, it was adorable, and he was loving every second of it. "You are sure enjoying watching your friend be all submissive," Amanda said watching Ian turn around and look half heartedly offended at her words.
"Respectfully, I am not stupid, I see how you look at him," Amanda said hearing Ian's breath get sucked in aggressively, was he really making it that obvious to everyone around him? Was he making it this obvious to Anthony himself and he was just being kind and not letting him know?
As if Ian could breathe before, the air really did get knocked out of him when he was watching this next scene that was going to happen with Courtney and Anthony, he was really going to be begging this time.
"Beg, beg!" Courtney said in a sing song voice watching Anthony sit up on his knees, looking at her with the biggest most innocent looking eyes. "Please, please, give it to me, please, mommy!" Anthony said, desperate and high pitched, Ian knew it was for the camera, but a million thoughts rushed through his head on how he would love to hear Anthony beg for him like that.
"Good boy!" Courtney praised while rubbing Anthony's head as he smiled up at her, tongue sticking out slightly as he was "panting".
Ian knew that he was going to have to take this seriously, he knew that even though it was definitely not a serious video, he was still going to have to do everything he needed to do, which included also being on his knees for Amanda as she gave him some food.
While Ian was doing his scenes with Amanda, Anthony was standing off to the side talking to Courtney about something. "You know for a man your size, I would have never thought of you as the submissive type," Courtney said making Anthony laugh and shrug, he knew that in the bedroom he was submissive, but he sort of let that slip today in front of everyone.
"Honestly? For the longest time I didn't believe it either myself, I let myself believe the stereotype that men like me are supposed to be the dominate type, that we are supposed to be the one demanding our partners, but especially since coming out, it kind of flipped in my mind," Anthony said watching Courtney nod, smiling still at her friend.
Courtney was the first one to know that Anthony was gay, they were talking about celebrity crushes a few days ago at lunch and Anthony said out loud that one of his crushes was Zac Efron. Immediately realizing what he said, he wanted to run away, hide in himself, leave again, but all Courtney did was nod and rub Anthony's hand gently while other people were getting their lunches and sitting down as well. Later on, Anthony came out to her and of course, was met with immense love, so for the moment, Courtney was the only one who knew for sure.
Once Ian and Amanda were done, bbno$ was up and he was doing some things as well and everyone was just sitting and watching, Ian and Amanda on one side of the back area, Anthony and Courtney on the other.
"Why don't you just go and talk to him? It is Anthony, dude, the same man who just got on his knees for a very taken woman and called her mommy, I think this is the least of his worries," Amanda said getting a quiet groan out of Ian, covering his face, trying to get the mental picture out of his mind.
In all reality, Ian desperately wanted to let Anthony know, he wanted to tell him and tell the rest of the world that he was gay, and more importantly, that he liked Anthony, but his fears will always get the best of him. "I just don't want him to leave again, Amanda, what if telling him scares him off? I'd never forgive myself if I was the reason why he left," Ian said sighing to himself.
Amanda nodded, respecting his reason and leaving it at that, even though she truly does believe that Anthony will feel the same, that is not her place to say or do anything about, it was Ian's time, and if he was not ready then he wasn't ready. She knows that he will be ready when he wants to be ready.
"Alright boys, let's go and get some makeup on you all and then we can start the music video!" Kiana said watching Ian and Anthony both get up and take their collars off for the moment, heading back to makeup and wardrobe.
"They are totally in love with each other," Amanda said looking at Courtney who also nodded, smiling at her as they watched them get ready with some dark, heavy eyeliner around the eyes. "Really brings you back to when you were a kid, huh, Anthony?" Amanda said walking in and seeing the two men who were now in all black. Anthony nodded and smiled, he was going to be with her now while Ian was going to be with Courtney.
It was Anthony's turn first, he was sitting in a leather chair, all collared up while Amanda was walking all around him with a whip, watching Anthony as he got those big submissive eyes again while mouthing along to the lyrics to the song that was playing in the background, spreading his legs when Amanda pushed them apart.
Ian's mouth was dry again, looking at these scenes from one of the camera's that was showing everything, he swore that he had to swallow three or four times to get some saliva going in his mouth. "You okay there, Ian?" Courtney asked cocking her head slightly to the side, watching the man nod and swallow, finally getting the saliva that he was desperate for.
Not wanting to poke and prod, Courtney walked away and got ready for her shoot with Ian that was going to be coming up soon since Anthony is really playing the submissive part to a tee. "Alright perfect Anthony, Ian and Courtney, it is your turn!" Kiana called watching the two head to a lair like place, it was more like a sex dungeon.
"Ian seems more awkward to get into that submissive role than you are, you just took it," Amanda said listening to Anthony laugh quietly and shrugging, leaning against the wall, his eyeliner was slightly smudged, but that made the role better according to the directors.
"Ian always seemed more of the secret dominant type, like he would want to be called daddy or some shit," Amanda said watching Anthony's face turn a little bit, he did give off that vibe, but he would have never admitted that to Amanda.
A few hours later and the shoot is finally done, and of course, Anthony has to ride back home with Ian.
"Can't believe we actually did that," Anthony said putting his backpack back between his legs, looking at himself in the mirror, he decided that he was going to wash his face once he got home, he has a special face cleanser anyways.
Ian nodded, chewing on his bottom lip as they drove off the set, listening back to the radio that was playing, trying to think of anything else in this moment besides wanting to put one of those collars on Anthony himself.
"Is something wrong? Was it all too much? i understand if it was," Anthony said moving his bag, suddenly hearing some shackling noises in it that weren't there before. The noise sent a fire down Ian's spine, he knew exactly what that noise was, it was the collar, Anthony stole one of the damn collars.
"You kinky son of a bitch," Ian said laughing watching Anthony's face go red with embarrassment. "Y-Yeah, don't tell them though, I am pretty sure they will beat my ass if they find that out," Anthony said watching Ian laugh and nod.
The car grew silent, it was a silence that had something tinged with it, it was want, a want that neither one of them knew was there until they were looking at each other, now parked in front of Anthony's house. They both had words that they wanted to say, but neither one of them knew what to say.
Anthony sighed, he knew it was better just to do it now and get it over with, "Ian, I have something to-" he said before being cut off, "I'm gay, Anthony," Ian said probably louder than intended, but those inside thoughts were coming outside whether he wanted them to or not.
When it was silent, Ian thought about just killing himself right then and there, Anthony was probably going to say that he could pay him back for the gas or some shit, not that he was gay. The embarrassment was burning on his face before the tension was cut and lips were on him, it was Anthony, Anthony was kissing him.
A couple minutes passed before Anthony finally pulled back, a small string of saliva connected the two still. "Do you want to maybe come inside?" Anthony said getting an immediate nod out of Ian as he turned the engine off on his car and the two of them got out.
Looks like they were going to be using that leash after all.
