Ty grinned. He knew what would be the perfect gift for that hung strait-laced Brendan. It would be a three-
part gift and Ty would be there to see, hear and feel Brendan's reactions.
When Brendan got home from school, the young stud was talking on his cell phone. It was Mary Beth, and she
had called while he was talking to Sue. Both wanted him to be their steady boyfriend, but being Big Man On
Campus and single had its perks. Brendan made a mental note to buy more condoms. He managed to finally talk
Mary Beth off the phone, and he grabbed a glass of milk and headed up to his room. He murmured to himself that
it would be nice if for a change he was not the expected to perform. If there was a way he could just lay
back and enjoy himself. There was big black shiny box sitting in the middle of his bedroom floor.
The tag read "Happy Birthday, Brendan! A little something for the birthday boy from his secret admirer.
Guess who?"
Ty chuckled to himself as Brendan read it aloud. He could sense fleeting images of different people that
Brendan thought might have given him this big gift. He closed the door behind himself, set the milk down, and
started to rip open the black shiny paper to get inside the plain brown box inside. Inside the black crepe
paper, Brendan found a shiny black outfit. At first, he thought it was a wet suit, but as he held it up and
examined the hood, he saw it was a bondage dog suit. He was angry, embarrassed, and intrigued. He locked his
door, and closed his blinds. Then he held the costume up in front of him. He wondered who could have sent it.
The images flitting through his mind surprised and intrigued Ty. There was Mary Beth, and Sue, but there was
also Dustin, Trevor, Vice Principal Carlyle, Coach Vincenzo, Marco Ruiz, Sammy Cohn, Steve Hanks, Burt the
janitor, the gay guy from Starbucks (Ty grinned Brendan imagined this guy because Brendan didn't know his
name), and more. Keith from shop, the short Asian guy from math named Nick Chan, the special ed guy Danny,
Charlene the fat dumpy girl, Lattimore Griggs the local auto mechanic, Hannibal Tweed the truant officer,
their fifth grade teacher Ms. Dahlia Emerson, and even Brendan's kid brother Brock who always wanted a dog,
but Brendan's dad was allergic. The images began to narrow into the most likely, and to whom Brendan secretly
found most exciting or frightening in the role of his owner.
Ty had transformed himself into the dog suit, and it was via Brendan's holding him that he saw deep into
Brendan's surprisingly complex yet simple mind and soul. He wanted Brendan to put him on, and Brendan wanted
to put on the suit. He shouldn't have been surprised at how fast Brendan could strip, but he was.
Brendan seemed to know intuitively thanks to Ty just how to put on his new costume. He secured buckles,
straps, and ties just like an old pro. He didn't put on the paw mitts yet though. He felt something else was
missing. He dug around in the box and found a dildo tail, and a dog collar with a big metal tag hanging from
it. He shoved the butt plug up his ass and wagged his new tail with glee. Then he examined the dog tag. It
read simply, "PROPERTY OF___________________", but the name was blank. He held it tight in his palm and
imagined who he was property of....Ty made the name engrave on the tag while Brendan held it. Then Brendan put
the collar on and secured his mitts. He dropped to all fours, and then something unexpected happened...
