Inside the cabin, Marzo was helping dry up Crash inside the bathroom. He was grateful the place had so many rugs and carpets to step over, since the two left enough puddles across the floor to endanger the hardwood floors. The stallion’s chastity cage was resting on top of the counter beside the sink, the lock undone and the key right beside it. Marzo was standing by the door with his arms crossed, now wearing a bathrobe to cover himself up. Crash was wearing Eirjan’s robe, and was sitting on top of the toilet seat with his face in his hands; he wasn’t crying, but his breaths were obviously strained as he struggled to keep his eyes dry.

Marzo sighed and turned his head, making sure he didn’t overhear any frantic footsteps or apologies outside the door. For the time being, his priority was making sure that Crash was okay after that disastrous fuckup. He needed to keep his muzzle shut, not wanting to accidentally mutter out something in anger. After closing his eyes to exhale slowly, Marzo looked back at the stallion and asked, “Are you okay?”

“Y-Yeah, yeah…” His whimpering voice made that answer sound like a lie, but he quickly pulled his head up and took a deep breath. Much to Marzo’s relief, the pegasus wasn’t crying or tearing up. Of course, that didn’t stop the zebra from leaning in and giving him a strong hug. Crash nearly broke down when he hugged Marzo in return, but he managed to sound more genuine when he muttered, “T-Thank you, Marzo…”

“It’s okay, buddy~” He waited until Crash pulled away to show him a warm, sympathetic smile. Marzo also leaned in and planted a peck on the stallion’s lips, which he reciprocated with the slightest blush. That seemed to help get Crash to smile the slightest bit, but he was still slouched on top of the toilet seat with an uneasy look. Marzo squatted down so the two could talk face-to-face.

“Okay, so… First of all, you should not feel guilty about leaving like that. You got yourself out of an awkward situation, and I’ll make sure that he understands that too. Alright?”

Crash tried not to wince while nodding his head silently. He breathed out with a huff before closing his head and pulling his head down. “Ughhhh… I can’t believe he actually said that.”

“Neither can I…” Marzo tensed up for a split-second, and silently exhaled through his nostrils so he wouldn’t get too pissed-off. Fortunately, he knew exactly what to say by the time he got Crash’s attention. “But… sometimes when couples try new things, they might perceive things differently without thinking, you know?”

“Yeah… Yeah, I suppose…” When he pulled his head back up, Crash still shook his head while looking down at the floor. “Still though… ugh, that was… I don’t even know what to think…”

“Well, hopefully later today you two can talk things out in private.” Marzo was able to sigh more relaxedly after that point. “Although, I wouldn’t blame you if you need some time to collect yourself.”

“Yeah, I… I might need that, actually…” Crash tried not to feel so guilty, but it felt like this ski-cation was already ruined. When he looked over at the sink, he groaned and turned away from the cage. “Ugh, I don’t even want to look at that right now.”

“Hey I get it, man…” Marzo quickly picked up the cage and key, and tucked them into his robe’s pocket for safe-keeping. He took a second to think things over before asking, “Hey, uhhh… Maybe we should try doing something else? Like, something non-sexual so we can be in a better mindset later on?”

“Yeah, I’m definitely not feeling up for sex right now…” Saying that out loud made him cringe and cover his face. “Ugh…”

“Hmmmm…” Marzo pursed his lips tightly together in thought. “... well… we are staying at a ski-resort right now. Maybe we could go out for lunch and hit the slopes?”

That suggestion got Crash’s ears to perk up the tiniest bit. He looked up from his hands to see the friendly smile on Marzo’s face, and he looked over at the door for a split-second. “Ummm… You mean like, all four of us, or…”

“Well, how about this…” Marzo stood up with his arms crossed, and gave a slight shrug of his head as he thought over his idea. “I’ll go out and talk with Erjan and Lost. If you want, you and I could go out together, and they could go out for their own thing.”

“Hmmmm…” Crash’s muzzle skewed in contemplation. “... well… I did bring a snowboard instead of skis.”

“Ooh, nice!” Marzo’s face lit up with a surprised smile. “That’s perfect then! There are actually different slopes for boarders and skiers, so they could go skiing while we did our own thing.”

“Hmmm… that might work, actually…” Despite his apprehension, Crash didn’t see much issue with Marzo’s plan to dismiss it. But even with a more notable smile, he couldn’t help asking, “So, ummm… how about what happens after that?”

“You shouldn’t need to think about that right now. This is a vacation, remember?” While keeping a warm smile on his face, Marzo motioned back to the door and added in a more confident tone, “And I’ll make sure that Eirjan helps Lost just as much as I’m helping you~”

Crash may have been nervous, but he trusted Marzo enough to nod his head and smile back at him. “Ummm… o-okay then.”

“Hmmmm…” Marzo took a second to think things over even more, and tapped his chin with a finger while humming. Crash tilted his head a little, while the zebra grew a contemplative smirk on his face. “You know… there’s something else I want to do while we’re alone, but I promise I won’t push you if you’re not up for it. Okay?”

“Uhhh… S-Sure, I guess…” Crash rubbed one of arms sheepishly as he blushed a little. “W… What were you thinking?”

“Well…” Marzo reached back into the pocket of his robe, and pulled out Crash’s chastity cage. “Despite what happened, I was able to see that you weren’t physically uncomfortable in this while in the hot-tub. It wasn’t painful or anything, was it?”

The sight of that cage was making him feel more hesitant, but Crash was able to pause long enough to think it over and shrug with a shake of his head. “Ehhhh… not really, no…”

“Well, how about this? If you’re willing to trust me, I was hoping that maybe, you could put this cage back on and go on the slopes with me. I promise that I won’t try anything sexual while we’re out boarding, and I’ll even let you hold on to the key. All I want is for you to get comfortable with it and see how it feels in a more casual manner. But like I said, there’s no pressure if you wanna say no.”

Crash opened his muzzle for a second, but he remained silent while looking between Marzo and the cage in his hand. There was clearly some apprehension on his face, but his cheeks blushed the longer he thought it over. He eventually looked back up at the zebra while his muzzle was skewed. “... Well, ummm… honestly, I--”

-Knock! Knock! Knock!-

The sound of someone knocking the bathroom door made both of them turn their heads, interrupting Crash’s response. Through the door, Eirjan’s voice spoke up softly.

“Hey, is everything alright in there? I think Lost is in the other bathroom, and I can’t find my robe…”

Crash blushed as he glanced down at his garment. “Oh, sorry about that!” said Marzo towards the closed door. “Crash has it on right now.”

“Ooh, lemme see!~”

Marzo sighed and rolled his eyes, smiling when he reached for the doorknob. “You alright with Eirjan coming in?”

Crash just nodded without complaint, but kept his robe tightly in place before the door opened. The zebra poked his head in, and let out a cutesy squee in response to the stallion bundled in his garment. The robe was a size or two too small for the pegasus’ build, but that just made him more adorable while blushing with his head lowered. Eirjan took a moment to glance back out in the hallway, before slipping in and closing the door behind him. “Well, Lost seems to be doing alright…”

Marzo and Eirjan were both happy to see Crash smile in slight relief after hearing that. Of course, the pegasus still sighed hoarsely while averting his eyes. “Ummm… Y… You can tell him that I’m okay too… uhhh…”

His hesitant pause was enough to make him cringe and wrinkle his muzzle as it pointed away from both zebras. “... would… would he be okay if we… w-waited until this afternoon to talk? I, uhhh… I was talking with Marzo, and…”

Eirjan looked over at his partner, who merely shrugged and wrapped an arm around Crash’s back. He pulled in the stallion close to his side and admitted, “Yeah, I mentioned the idea of the two of us boarding together. And if you’re willing to help out, you could volunteer to take Lost Way on the ski paths.”

“Ooh, that’s a good idea! Maybe I coul--Oh!” Eirjan’s head yanked back a little in surprise when he glanced down and saw the chastity cage in Marzo’s hand. He took a moment to look back at Crash, which made the stallion blush and cross his legs bashfully. Eirjan huffed with a light smirk, but Marzo gave him a nudge to catch his attention.

“Actually, since you’re here…” Marzo grew a more devious grin when he darted his eyes between both equines. After taking a moment to admire Crash’s body wrapped in the skimpy robe, he turned to Eirjan and asked, “You brought your cage too, didn’t you? The plastic one in your luggage bag?”

“Hmph~ I sure did…” Eirjan shot a more comforting smile towards Crash, and then motioned back to the door. “Should I… go get it?~”

“If you wouldn’t mind, yes please.” Marzo looked back at Crash as well, letting him see how casually both of them were treating the item in their own relationship. Eirjan quickly exited the bathroom while still in the buff, and Marzo helped pull Crash back up to his feet. When the pegasus was back to standing upright, he tried to ask something to break his personal silence.

“S-So, did… did Eirjan ever wear his cage on the slopes? Heh heh…”

Marzo huffed a little to Crash’s nervous chuckle, but kept a confident grin when he nodded his head. “Actually he has! Granted, he used some slightly larger sizes than the one he has now, but I don’t think it would be an issue…”

Crash bit his lip and nodded, but he was feeling more unsure about what Marzo was planning. His ears perked up when he overheard Eirjan shout out, “I found it!~”

The zebra returned a moment later, grinning wide while holding the uniquely-shaped hunk of purple plastic. It was notably smaller than Crash’s metal cage, but also had a wider girth to make up for the shorter length. Crash leaned in with his eyes narrowed, needing a moment to assess how that particular model worked. However, he quickly pulled back when Marzo knelt down right in front of Eirjan’s naked body. “Ooh, wonderful… Would you be okay with showing him?”

“Yeah, sure thing! Luckily I don’t have blue-balls…” Eirjan widened his legs and placed his hands on the sides of his hips, standing proudly before Marzo’s smirking muzzle. The tatted zebra chuckled and gave his partner a light smack on the ass as a reward. He then looked back at Crash’s blushing face, and made sure he was paying attention when he grabbed hold of Eirjan’s package with both hands.

“Alright, check this out… Unlike your cage, which just goes around the outside, this one is designed to keep Eirjan inside of his sheathe~” He turned on the sink for a moment, and ran the plastic cage under some ice-cold water to aid in the process. Eirjan made sure to close his eyes and take a couple deep breaths, doing everything he could to remain flaccid in front of Crash. When Marzo brought the cage back to his partner’s crotch, he quickly clasped the anchoring base around the zebra’s balls while the sheathe was still soft. Eirjan sucked some air through his teeth, and clenched his eyes tighter when he felt that tight ring of plastic wrapping around his balls and member at the same time.

“Alright, just a little more…” Marzo worked as diligently as he could with his tongue sticking out of his muzzle. Despite feeling the distinct twitches of Eirjan’s sheathe trying to stir from sudden blood-flow, Marzo was able to work the cage and plastic cap over the tip just in time. Crash noticed an open slot at the top of the device, which was large enough for the cocktip to have free access. Before Eirjan could get any chance to get erect, a swift latch of the pre-attached lock was applied to clamp the device shut. “Aha! There we go…”

Marzo smirked in satisfaction and stood back up, leaving Eirjan to stand freely in his cage. The red-striped zebra groaned through his teeth, and he tensed up long enough to adjust to that tight plastic concealing around his girth. When he finally breathed out with a shaky sigh, he was able to smile through his blush and stand shamelessly in his new equipment. “Nnnnghhh… O-Oh wow…”

Since the bathroom had a full-sized mirror beside the sink, Eirjan was able to turn and admire his reflection for a moment. The purple cage stood out against his white and red fur, but also kept his member tucked away in its sheath with only a small cap in its place. The device was much more intimidating than Crash’s cage, and left the pegasus biting his lip pensively. But when he looked back up at Eirjan’s face, he could tell that the constriction and pressure was less of an issue for him.

“Mmmmm~” Marzo savored the sight of his partner’s cage with a smirk and a lick of his lips. “My goodness, that does look good… It’s not too much for you, is it?”

“Nnnghhh, n-no… Not really…” Eirjan tried not to cover his crotch while standing in the nude, and he scratched the back of his neck with a nervous chuckle. “Heh heh… Honestly, I was worried how well it’d fit.”

“Wait, have you not worn that yet?!” Crash blurted that remark while gawking at Eirjan’s casual nature. “Whoa… Jeeze, talk about a risky purchase.”

“Hmph~ Well, I’ve worn it before a couple times… But only for a minute or two at most.” Eirjan took a couple more calming breaths, and settled with a bitten lip when he felt his member settling more comfortably within the tight plastic. “Mmmphhh… But yeah, I know that it fits me well enough…”

Eirjan took another moment to make sure everything was alright, and breathed out pertly while holding his key. He looked back at the cage that Crash was supposed to wear, and hummed with a slight skew of his muzzle. He glanced back at Marzo, and shared a knowing look that the tatted zebra seemed to notice instantly. He smiled back at Eirjan with an approving nod, but didn’t say anything when he looked over at Crash.

“Sooooo… you wanna try putting yours back on?” Eirjan gave the stallion a warm, coaxing smile as he looked between his blush and the cage. “I mean… If I’m able to wear mine on the slopes, you could easily handle that thing~”

Crash felt a bit conflicted as he exhaled through his nostrils, his muzzle clenched in apprehension. He meagerly took the cage to hold in his hand, feeling its weight and the cold steel against his palm. He knew that there wasn’t much of a physical issue with his cage, and he’d likely handle wearing it for a non-sexual trial-run; but when he took notice of that lock connected to the cage’s base, Crash averted his eyes and winced a little. “Hmmmm…”

“If you want…” Eirjan decided to sweeten the deal by reaching out his hand, holding out the key to his own cage. “... you could hold onto my key if you want~”

Crash went wide-eyed in shock, and reeled back from the key with both hands raised. “Whoooaaaa… Dude, I can’t do that.”

“Are you sure, hun?” Even Marzo seemed a bit unsure as he raised a brow in Eirjan’s direction. “You said yourself you’ve only worn it for a few minutes at a time. You sure you wanna go skiing in that without the key?”

“Well, the slopes have good service, right? As long as you guys keep your phones on, I could easily contact either of you if I need it.” Eirjan looked back at Marzo to hear his rebuttal, and was met with only an open muzzle for a couple seconds. Marzo ended up shrugging without much of a defense, while Crash’s cheeks remained heavily blushed. Eirjan held out his key once more, remaining insistent. “I promise it’ll be alright, Crash. I’ll even let you keep your key as well. All you gotta do is trust us~”

Eirjan and Marzo were both smiling at the pegasus, leaving him in a precarious moment as he tightened his muzzle. However, even though he was still blushing, he also tried to cover his crotch as discreetly as he could. Unfortunately, Marzo was quick to notice the stallion’s hand-placement, and chuckled with a raised brow.

“Heh heh~ You’re getting hard already, aren’t you?”

“Mnnnghhh…” Crash lowered his head with an embarrassed shudder, only able to nod weakly.

“Hmmm…” Eirjan grew a cheekier smile to match Marzo’s, and he leaned in to ask Crash, “Well, in that case… You want us to help stop that?~”

Marzo nudged his partner with a scoff. Meanwhile, Crash bit his lip and rolled his eyes to better think things over. “Ummm… w-well uhhh…”

Considering what he went through earlier, the pegasus definitely felt a bit of conflict about the idea. But when he looked up at both of the smiling zebras, he couldn’t help feeling a little less wary. He knew it was a crazy idea, but Crash only needed a second to breathe out before reaching a hand out.

“I… I do trust you guys a lot…” Blushing hard, Crash reluctantly took Eirjan’s key before looking away with an embarrassed wince. Marzo and Eirjan smiled back at each other, with the former taking the initiative to kneel down in front of Crash. Seeing the cage in his hand, Crash had to clench his eyes shut and focus on his breathing. “Hnnnnghhhh… O… Okay then…”

Marzo got himself between Crash’s legs, with a hand over each knee so he could easily pull them apart. But first, he made sure to ask the stallion, “So, are you alright with wearing the cage for this afternoon? I promise I’ll be on my best behavior.”

Hearing the sincerity in his voice, Crash mustered a weak and shaky smile when he gave a nod. “Ummm… S-Sure, I… I consent~”

“Perfect~” Marzo carefully parted the robe so he could get a good look at the thick, semi-flaccid member dangling between Crash’s legs. Eirjan may have seen more than enough of the pegasus already, but he respectfully turned his head for privacy sake. Since the chastity cage was already opened and unlocked, it was easy enough for Marzo to slip the anchoring base around Crash’s balls. The stallion’s semi-soft cock was gently caressed inside of the metal device, eliciting a harsh gasp when the cold metal touched his sensitive flesh. In less than a second, Marzo got the entire length packed inside of the phallic device just in the nick of time. Just as Crash groaned from the sudden coldness and pressure around his cock, his ears twitched when he overheard the metallic click of the lock.

“Mmmnnnfffff…” Crash clenched his eyes and shuddered hard, his legs tensed up from the re-locking already. But as he continued taking deep breaths, he was fortunate to feel his member slowly settling inside the cage’s confines. Marzo smirked with a satisfied huff, and reached up to remove Crash’s robe.

“Therrrrreee you go… Much better~” Marzo placed the robe on the counter by the sink, leaving Crash naked in that cage once more. He then turned his head towards Eirjan, and perked his brows when he looked down at his cage. “Hmph~ Any issues yet, big guy?”

“Nope! I’m actually pretty comfy right now…” Eirjan looked down at his cage with a carefree smile, and even gave it a light tap with his hand to watch it dangle a little. Despite the fact that his cage was more than a third smaller in size to Crash’s, he was handling the device surprisingly well. Crash had to look away from him briefly, just so the sight wouldn’t make his own cage uncomfortably tighter.

“Are you alright, buddy?” Marzo reached over and gave Crash a supportive pat on the back. Aside from a shaky exhale and deepening blush, the stallion was able to nod and pull himself to his feet.

“Mmmmphhhh… Oh, jeez…” Much like Eirjan, Crash couldn’t resist reaching down and giving his cage a couple of careful prods. He sighed in slight relief from how painless the device currently felt, even while he continued to throb inside the polished metal. “Oof… H-Hopefully there aren’t any metal-detectors at the resort.”

Marzo quickly covered his muzzle with a hand, but the other two could clearly hear him struggling not to laugh. Crash then took notice of Eirjan’s reaction, as the zebra huffed and crossed his arms with an embarrassed wince. After a couple seconds, Marzo let go of his muzzle long enough to nudge him playfully from the side. “Yeah, that would be inconvenient, wouldn’t it, Eirjan?~”

“D-Dude, come on…” Eirjan looked away with a scoff, but Crash could see him trying not to smirk in obvious recollection.

“Don’t worry though,” assured Marzo when he turned back to Crash. “I highly doubt you’ll deal with that around here. Although I should obviously warn you about going through any airports~”

“Ugh!” Eirjan rolled his eyes in annoyance. “That was one time, dude…”

Crash blinked a couple times while staring between the zebras. He didn’t say anything, but he read between the lines well enough to blush all wide-eyed. Eirjan was the first to notice his reaction, and sighed before clarifying, “Uhh, it happened years ago. Actually, it was before I met Marzo here.”

“Yeah, and I didn’t find out about it until a year into dating! He was really embarrassed to tell me~”

“W-Well, yeah! I didn’t realize the lock was metal!”

“At least you had the key~”

Eirjan paused after that last jab from Marzo, which made him tighten his muzzle and glance back at Crash. The pegasus was standing awkwardly with both of their keys in his hand, and biting his bottom lip pensively. Eirjan looked like he wanted to say something, but that brief moment of thought was swept aside with a sharp huff. “Heh… W-Well, I don’t think the key will be as important now as it was back then…”

Crash opened his muzzle for a second, but remained silent when he looked back down at the keys. Even with his apprehensions on full display like his locked-cock, he was able to stop himself from asking for any further confirmation. Since this was meant to be a trust-experiment, he waited a moment before speaking up reassuringly.

“Well, ummm…” Crash took a deep breath, and mustered up a genuine smile for both zebras to see. “... If it helps, I promise to keep your key safe, Eirjan.”

Eirjan smiled back at him warmly. “Thank you, Crash.”

Crash lowered his head sheepishly, but still looked back at him while smiling in return. Marzo went up to the stallion’s side, and wrapped an arm around his back. “And I promise I’ll keep him and both keys safe on the slopes. All you need to worry about is getting Lost’s head straight.”

The mention of Lost Way made Crash tighten his muzzle a little; however, he was grateful enough to smile at Marzo in silence. Eirjan helped improve the mood even more when he responded confidently. “Don’t worry, Marzo. I’ll make sure to treat him right~”

He gave Crash a wink in accompaniment, which was enough to make the pegasus smile and shuffle with a blush. Still wearing nothing but his cage, Eirjan took his robe back and sauntered back out of the bathroom. “Alright, Imma tell Lost what’s up. Have fun, fellas~”

Just like that, Eirjan disappeared from sight and went back down the hall. Marzo turned back to smirk at the mostly-nude Crash, while the pegasus shivered from the sudden coldness. The zebra motioned towards the open doorway and said, “C’mon, Crash. Let’s get you in something war--”

“GAHH!!” The sound of a startled voice elsewhere caught Marzo and Crash off-guard. Their heads turned just before hearing Lost Way shout out, “W-What the heck?! Eirjan, what’re you wearing?!”

“What, you don’t like it?~”

“Well, uhhh… I mean, I do, I’m just confused…”

“Well, don’t worry about it, Losty. Consider this a little ‘Trust Experiment’...”

Marzo smiled and nodded to himself approvingly. “Hmph~ I think Eirjan will do just fine without either of us…”

He then took Crash’s hand, and led the caged stallion out of the bathroom to head towards the spare room. “Alright, let’s go!”

[hr]

After both of the caged participants were bundled up and had their equipment, they went with each other’s partners out of the cabin to enjoy the resort’s amenities. Due to how large the mountain and ski resort really were, Marzo and Eirjan were able to take their dates out to different restaurants for lunch. This allowed both of them to better converse with Crash and Lost on personal levels, without worrying about any stigmas or personal qualms. Eirjan and Marzo also kept in regular contact through texts, ensuring that both of them could get through to their friends and help them out.

Crash and Marzo ended up having a great time on the beginner slopes together, even if the pegasus spent over half an hour fumbling on his snowboard. Marzo’s black-diamond experience really helped out, as he was able to get Crash to handle higher speeds without overthinking. The two were only able to enjoy the slopes for a few hours, since the resort actually closed before sundown for safety reasons. But by the time Crash was riding down his final hillside, he was able to handle the Amateur course with Marzo close by his side.

And just before the two were set to return to the cabin, Crash insisted on watching Marzo conquering one of the black-diamond hills himself. Despite some slight reluctance, Marzo was coaxed into showing off his skills before the day was through. Crash found himself a great vantage view from a picnic table off a restaurant balcony, and he watched with a smile when he recognized the zebra’s loud colors at the top of a massive hillside. Marzo ended up shooting down the slopes like a bullet, showing off some phenomenal skills on his board. Compared to how casually he and Crash were riding the bunny slopes earlier, the zebra looked like a genuine professional as he zipped between crevices and flew off snowy ramps.

“Whoa…” Crash was mesmerized by the sight of Marzo’s skills, completely forgetting about the chastity cage around his cock. In fact, due to how much fun he and Marzo had snowboarding together, he was only briefly reminded of his cage a couple times during the whole afternoon. It was jarring how easily he was able to overlook such a significant piece of equipment, although that may have been the point Marzo was trying to make. Either way, Crash was grateful that throughout their shared fun, he never lost his or Eirjan’s keys; they were both still secure in the stallion’s front chest-pocket, and neither needed to be used.

Meanwhile on the other end of the resort, Lost Way and Eirjan enjoyed each other’s company while skiing together. Unlike Crash and Marzo, the other couple actually moved up to the Amateur slopes a lot sooner than expected. Unfortunately, Lost Way definitely caused Eirjan to laugh a couple times when he repeatedly ate powder and fell on his face. He was lucky not to injure himself too badly, and even more fortunate to have an experienced skier like Eirjan by his side.

Before the two started their skiing adventure, Eirjan and Lost Way shared a very deep discussion during their lunch. Eirjan was grateful he didn’t need to say anything too blunt, since Lost was already aware of how badly he screwed up. So instead of leacuring the zebra about his poor choice of words, Eirjan decided to go a different route. Since Crash was trying to enjoy himself on the slopes while caged, it seemed only fair for Eirjan to share that same experience in a purely non-sexual manner.

In the beginning, Lost Way had more than his fair share of questions about Eirjan’s unique equipment. Despite remaining tightly sheathed in that plastic cap, the red zebra didn’t show much discomfort through their entire session. Lost Way made sure to ask him about it regularly, not wanting to end up in an emergency situation while out in the middle of the snowy woods. If it was Crash wearing a device that small or intense, there was no doubt that he’d be begging to be unlocked after twenty minutes. But much to Lost Way’s surprise, and even Eirjan’s, no frantic calls to Marzo or Crash were needed as Eirjan remained comfortably confined in his cage the whole time.

“Holy crap, dude…” Lost Way had just slid down the final section of the hillside, and rode right up towards Eirjan. The red zebra had already finished his run, and was standing against a light pole with a tired smile and blushing cheeks. He looked genuinely impressed by Lost Way’s progress, since he got down the Intermediate slope much better than most newbies. Meanwhile, Lost could only scoff after stopping in front of him, and shook his head in amazement. “Jeeze, how the heck are you able to stand without groaning or anything?”

Eirjan just giggled and rolled his eyes. “Ehh, what can I say? This isn’t the craziest thing I’ve done while caged. It probably helps that everything is freezing cold, y’know?”

Lost opened his muzzle briefly, but then shrugged without much debate. “Huh… Actually, that makes a lot of sense.”

“Plus, I’ve actually worn way smaller devices than this one…” Eirjan looked around before sliding up towards him, still smiling behind his thick goggles. “Just be glad we’re doing this after I got that Prince Albert piercing a while back. I used to have a flat-ended cage, which basically just pushed everything in like a tuck-job. But after I got my piercings, I had to move to cages where they didn’t need to be removed.”

“Ahh, that makes sense…” Lost Way nodded with a sheepish blush, clearly unsure about having this kind of discussion out in public. Even though the two were alone in such a spacious resort space, he had no idea how well their voices could travel across snow. But instead of dwelling over such a hypothetical, he took a breath and asked Eirjan, “So, like… have you ever had any issues with cages?”

“Oh, yeah. Like, I think everyone has at least one experience after a while, you know?” Eirjan blushed a little with an embarrassed eye roll. “Just for the record, you should never assume that plastic cages can be worn through airports. Trust me, TSA has a terrible sense of humor.”

“Well, I could’ve told you that one.” Lost Way chuckled a little, but nodded to Eirjan’s point regardless. “But yeah, I get what you mean. There’s no way I could ever deal with something like that.”

“Yeah, not many guys could handle that…” Eirjan took a moment to tilt his head slightly, and he stared down Lost a bit firmer than before. “... and I know for a fact that Crash could never do that.”

That mention made Lost’s smile drop in an instant. He sighed hard enough to let out a pained whinny through his muzzle, and he lowered his head. “... y… yeah…”

“And he also wouldn’t appreciate being glued for a scenario like that either.”

“I know! I know! Ughhh…” Lost Way groaned and covered his face while sighing hoarsely. Eirjan tried not to appear too upset, but he still crossed his arms and waited patiently for a response. After a few seconds, Lost kept his eyes closed when he lowered his hand. “I… I don’t know why I said that. I just… I was lost in the moment, that’s all.”

“Well, that’s a heck of a thing to mention for Crash’s first time…” After looking around again, Eirjan glanced back at him and asked with a raised brow, “You… You don’t actually want that to happen, do you?”

“NO!” Lost Way actually gawked at him in response. “Are you crazy?! Of course not!”

“Well, saying it like you did might make him assume you want that for real…”

That made Lost Way wince. Hard. He hung his head in shame, and pinched the bridge of his snout with a cringed look. “Nnnnghhh… God, I screwed up big time…”

“Well, the good thing is that you can still fix it.” Eirjan placed a hand on Lost’s shoulder, prompting him to reopen his eyes and look back at him. While smiling back at the zebra warmly, Eirjan spoke in a kind and informative tone. “Now then… the two of us have been riding up and down these hills for… what, three hours now?”

Lost Way couldn’t reach into his pocket to check his phone without pulling off his gloves, so all he could do was shrug awkwardly. “Uhhhh… I think so, yeah?”

“And during this whole session, have I complained about my sheathe-cage at all?”

Lost’s muzzle remained open for a few seconds, but he was able to give a response after looking down at his crotch. “Ummm… N-No, you… You haven’t…”

“That’s right. I was able to handle this cage very easily, even while out here exerting a lot of physical activity…” With that last point stated, Eirjan took the opportunity to lean in with a growing smirk. He stared down Lost through his goggles, and perked his brows when he added, “And if I’m able to wear my cage for this long… I have a feeling that you could handle wearing one like Crash’s for a single session back at the cabin~”

Lost Way reeled his head back wide-eyed. “W-What?!”

“You heard me.” Eirjan smirked a little wider, and narrowed his eyes on the blushing zebra. “You said earlier that you would do anything to make up for that mishap with Crash, right?”

Lost’s open muzzle eventually closed with a strong exhale. “Ughh… I… I did…”

“And if he were to ask for you to wear a chastity cage yourself, just for one time, would that be a dealbreaker for you?”

Lost’s muzzle closed shut, and he breathed out through his nostrils before shaking his head. “N… No… No, I’d agree to do it for him.”

“Dawww, you answered that pretty quickly~” Eirjan beamed a little wider with a cheerful nod. “Well, the reason I’m asking is because Marzo and I were thinking that could be a good way to help you understand the kink a little better…”

Lost Way didn’t say anything at first, but he didn’t show much reluctance or defensiveness in his expression. He eventually nodded his head in understanding, but asked Eirjan, “So… Y-You were wanting me to… to wear one of those things?”

“Mmhmm~” He then raised a finger to clarify, “Oh, actually we were thinking that you could wear it for Marzo. The idea was that after we went back, I could tend to Crash while you were with him…”

Both of Lost’s brows raised up slowly. “Oh… OH.”

“Yeah, well… We were planning to have fun anyway, right? So why not implement that now?~”

“Right, right… Yeah, I get what you mean…” Lost Way chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his neck while blushing under his goggles. “S-So, like… You want me to hang with Marzo, huh?”

“That’s right. That is, if you’re okay with me taking Crash’s reins for you~” Eirjan kept his arms crossed while perking his brows with a playful grin. Luckily, Lost was comfortable enough to roll his eyes with a scoff and nod approvingly.

“Well, I’m definitely not against you two having fun…” Despite knowing how weird it was to say that sort of thing about his partner with another guy, Lost didn’t feel much of a stigma at all about it when it came to someone like Eirjan. Heck, he’d probably approve of witnessing Crash being spitroasted by the two if they asked him kindly enough. But at that moment, Lost was thinking of more important things when he added, “Just… as long as he’s up for that just as much as you are.”

“Oh, of course! Don’t worry, Marzo and I already talked it all out with him too.” Eirjan got up a little closer to him, with his smile morphing to a more sensual-looking smirk. “With that being said though… I should let you know that Marzo was very insistent on you abiding by the rules before we head back~”

With the way Eirjan worded that in such a devilish tone, it was obvious that he wasn’t bullshitting that claim. Considering how quickly Marzo intervened when the hot-tub session went south, Lost Way could only assume that the zebra meant serious business. He didn’t even need to ask for clarification before nodding his head quickly. “Uhhh… S-Sure, yeah…”

“Good.” Eirjan placed both his hands on Lost’s shoulders, holding him close while the two were isolated at the bottom of the hill. The zebra stared Lost down with a hungrier smile on his muzzle, and chuckled before speaking sultrily. “Now then… While we were on the chairlift earlier, I received a text from Marzo regarding what to do when we returned. And if you were willing, Marzo wanted you to try doing something very special…”

With the way Eirjan’s grin was widening, Lost Way gulped in growing realization. Regardless of what Eirjan was going to say, he had a feeling that he was expected to abide regardless. He wasn’t sure how to feel, but the tightening in his snow-pants did more for his thought process than his thundering heart. Eirjan pulled his smartphone out of his pocket, and removed one of his gloves so he could activate the screen and swipe over to his texts. “So, Lost… Before I tell you what he wanted you to do, I have to ask… Would you be willing to do something in front of Crash to prov--”

“Yes.” Lost Way purposely spoke up before Eirjan could finish his question, and nodded with great insistence. “I… I’ll do it. Whatever it is, just… Just show me.”

Eirjan smiled warmly back at him. “I’m very glad you said that, Lost~”

With that, Eirjan turned his phone around so the screen was pointed at the zebra. “Okay, read the last text box on Marzo’s end…”

Lost Way leaned in after a nervous exhale, and narrowed his eyes to peer through his thick goggles lenses and the phone’s glare. It was from a private chat between Eirjan and Marzo, with the last text-bubble being a lengthy set of instructions from the latter. Lost spent a minute slowly reading through the details, instantly gasping in silence halfway through. But regardless, his eyes kept scrolling through the text while blushing heavily, his lips tightly pursed…

“... Holy…” Lost Way breathed out weakly, and bit his lip when he looked back at Eirjan. “Ummm… So, do I… Have to say it exactly like that?”

“Well, I’m sure you could improvise a little if needed,” said Eirjan with a shrug before taking his phone back. “But the important thing would be you actually asking him in front of Crash. Are you able to do that at least?”

Despite the slight twinge on his skewing muzzle, Lost Way only averted his eyes for a second before breathing out reluctantly. “Mmmmphhh… I… I suppose I could do that…”

“Good. Because I’m going to make sure you do it~”

“Oh, come on!”

[hr]

Even though it was still mid-afternoon, most of the mountainside was already clearing out as the sun began to disappear behind the snowy peaks. Due to the resort’s strict rules regarding activities after-dark, both sets of couples were set to return to their cabin just after four. Eirjan and Marzo were fortunate to know the ins and outs of resorts like these, so they were able to get Lost and Crash away from most of the family crowds before they got too packed or rowdy. By the time all four of them were heading back, all of them felt thoroughly wiped-out and satisfied from their shared winter fun.

Marzo and Crash were the first to return to their cabin, intentionally so. Much to the pegasus’ relief, his chastity cage proved to be anything but a hindrance of any kind. He was very careful in making sure both his and Eirjan’s keys were safe, and handed both of them to Marzo before undressing himself. He quickly got out of his cold winter clothing, but remained in the one-piece pair of long-johns that covered everything but his head, hands and feet. Marzo chose to strip himself down to just a jockstrap for now, and even turned up the heat in the cabin to help encourage group nudity later on. But for now, he was waiting beside Crash as the two spooned on the living room couch.

“Mmmmmm…” Marzo smiled while hugging the pegasus tightly from behind, appreciating his body warmth while near-nude. Crash smiled with a contentful sigh, appreciating the close contact while waiting for their partners. Neither of them said too much after undressing, but Marzo was the first to speak up while rubbing Crash’s thigh. “So… Are you ready to talk with Lost when he gets back?”

“Umm… Yeah, I am…” Crash nodded without much pause, sounding a lot less flustered about the idea than earlier. Even though there was a slight skew across his muzzle, he only needed a brief exhale to confirm his thoughts. By the time he and Marzo overheard some footsteps outside the front door, his heart rate only increased a little bit. He pulled himself away from Marzo’s embrace, and sat upright by the time the door opened up.

“Hey, guys!” Eirjan was the first to strut into the cabin, choosing to leave his ski equipment out by the front door. He was quick to pull off his winter gear while Lost Way awkwardly shuffled in from behind. The zebra froze with a heavy blush when he saw his partner on the couch; Crash bit his lip briefly, but he smiled the slightest when he gave a light wave. Lost struggled not to cringe through his own smile, and looked back at Eirjan just as he got out of his long-johns. “Whoo, those slopes were great! I can’t believe how clear the hills were this weekend!”

“Honestly. Yeah…” Marzo sat upright on the couch as well, and wrapped an arm around Crash’s back. “I guess we showed up on one of the slower parts of the month. Although the snack bars were still crowded like usual.”

“Ugh, you guys too?” Eirjan chuckled with a shake of his head, and took notice of his partner’s attire (or lack thereof) when he raised a brow. “Hmmmm… Should I be the first to strip down?”

“Well, let’s wait a moment…” Marzo took that moment to stare back at Lost Way, who winced and rubbed one of his forearms awkwardly. He pulled off his coat and snow-pants, but chose to remain in his sweats like Crash currently was. With the two looking at one another with deep blushes, Marzo spoke up in a direct tone of voice. “Okay, guys. Is… there anything either of you wish to say?”

Lost Way closed his eyes and lifted a hand, looking like a guilty kid forced to make a confession in a crowded classroom. But with everyone’s eyes focused on him, he only needed to exhale before looking back at Crash. “Honey, I… I’m really sorry for what I said. A-And it didn’t mean anything, okay? I swear that’s not something I was thinking about or anything. I think I just… I wasn’t sure what all was in the kink, and I was just saying whatever to try and make the mood hotter. And, well… you can see how that went. Heh heh…”

He hoped that his weak chuckle would be enough to show some humility, but he dampened his smile almost instantly. Crash still nodded while his muzzle was clenched shut, able to understand that reasoning enough to accept it as truthful. After a brief sigh, Crash spoke up for the first time on the matter. “Well… First of all, I believe you when you say you wouldn’t, like… actually do that.”

“Oh, absolutely I wouldn’t!” Lost Way reassured that point with both hands raised. “I was just saying dumb stuff.”

“A-Although, ummm…”

Crash looked away with a more discomforted look on his face. Eirjan and Lost both looked concerned, while Marzo sat beside the stallion with a tighter hold. Crash breathed out more shakily, and broke his pause by adding, “W-When you… When you were talking about me keeping it ‘locked away,’ it was… it was like you weren’t interested in me like that, and it made me feel really insecure.”

Lost Way’s face dropped like a stone, and he covered his eyes with a hand while shaking his head. Eirjan sighed in sympathy and patted Lost on the back, but kept a close eye on Crash after that admission. Before the zebra could give any more apologies, Crash was able to add insistently, “I know that’s not what you meant, though. Okay? I know you love my equipment just as much as I love yours.”

“W-Well, yeah!” Lost flusteredly put his hand down and looked back at Crash with an immediate nod. “Honey, I just said that stuff because I thought that was part of it! Like, you wear the cage, and then you get teased for it. That was what I was thinking…”

That remark got Crash and Marzo to skew their muzzles with befuddled stares on the zebra. Lost Way only noted their stares for a second before averting his eyes and cringing hard. Eirjan pulled in Lost close to his side, and spoke up on his behalf with a hand raised. “Okay, in his defense, the two of us had a long talk about what chastity is actually about. He only knew about the kink from porn, and clearly didn’t do the appropriate research. However…”

He used that moment to turn his head back towards Lost, and widened his smirk immensely. “... I believe there’s something else that Lost Way was needing to ask~”

The zebra closed his eyes and took a deep breath, only needing a second before sighing contentedly. After feeling Eirjan pat his back again, he reopened his eyes to glance back at Crash and Marzo. The pegasus had his head tilted with puzzlement, while Marzo narrowed his eyes in intrigue. Lost Way hesitated long enough for the blush on his cheeks to turn beet-red, before he blurted out with a groan, “Uhhhh… I, uhhh… I… Iwaswantingtotryonemyselfplease…”

Crash’s eyes widened quite a bit, while Marzo just scoffed from the zebra’s shoddy presentation. Even Eirjan couldn’t resist giving Lost a hard nudge from the side. “Oh, come on, dude!” Eirjan shot him a stern, scoffing smirk while mockingly shaking his head. “You can do better than that.”

“I agree,” added Marzo while crossing his arms. “Say it like a big boy~”

“Nnnnghhh…” Lost Way covered his face with both hands, while the other zebras just snickered like a couple of pervy teens. Crash tried not to giggle himself, but was still smiling with a slightly flattered blush on his face. After another hoarse exhale, Lost Way groaned under his breath and tried to speak more articulately.

“Ughhh… D… D-Do…” Lost stopped for a split second to tense up in embarrassment, and then relaxed quickly enough to ask his question in a casual manner. “... Do you have a spare cage that I… I m-may wear, please?”

Marzo grinned rather wide while giving the zebra a smug and satisfied nod. “Ooh, that’s a very good job. Well done~” Both he and Eirjan gave light claps like they were on a golf course after Lost scored a birdie. The zebra in question crossed his arms and looked away from them with a grumble; however, he was able to see from Crash’s flustered smile that his question was a big thing to ask.

“Are… Are you sure?” Crash tilted his head while looking between the zebra’s face and his crotch. “I mean… You never did it before…”

“Yeah, I know, but…” Lost Way seemed uncomfortable while blushing heavier, but he quickly huffed and motioned back towards Eirjan. “Look, if he can go up and down those slopes while wearing one all afternoon, then… I don’t have much of an excuse, do I?”

“Heck, HE managed to do it too!” Marzo hugged Crash tightly from the side with a prideful smile. “And he didn’t even ask for a break~”

Crash lowered his head while smiling bashfully, but he didn’t try to dismiss Marzo’s claims. And with all three of them giving such positive feedback, there wasn’t much of a chance of Lost Way backing out of this arrangement. He had to close his eyes with another breath, but he resigned himself with another nod by the time he looked back at Marzo and Crash.

“So, uhhh… do you have one that’ll fit me? Or…”

Marzo scoffed hard, perhaps a little too much in response to that question. “... seriously, dude?” He raised a brow while smirking at Lost. “No offense, but… I’m fairly certain that any cages that fit us would automatically be big enough for you~”

Lost’s head reeled back a little while gawking at him open-mouthed. However, even as his blush intensified with embarrassment, his muzzle ended up tightening with a look of realization. As much as he hated to admit it, he knew just as well as Marzo that he was the “smallest” of the group in that department; and while that may have not been an issue by any means, it also made Marzo’s opinion bluntly true.

“... hmph.” Aside from that slightly-offended huff, all that Lost Way could do was roll his eyes and mutter under his breath, “that’s a cheap shot.”

“Hey, you like cheap shots, remember?~” Marzo was the first to pull himself up from the couch, pausing long enough to ask the pegasus, “So Crash, are you alright with me taking Lost off your hands for a bit?”

“Oh! Uhhh… Y-Yeah, sure!” Crash stood up after Marzo did, and quickly walked up to give Lost a supportive peck on the cheek. Lost took that opportunity to hug his boyfriend tightly as a last-second apology, and also gave him a kiss on the lips as well. Marzo and Eirjan gave each other a trusting nuzzle to their snouts, smirking with a shared look of understanding and unbridled trust. After a solidifying fist-bump, the zebras went off to claim their friends.

“Ummm, good luck! Heh heh…” Crash gave an awkward wave before he was escorted off, practically pushed down the hallway by the grinning Eirjan. As he took the pegasus away, he promptly kicked off his underwear and left it on the floor behind him. Less than a minute after the two disappeared past an open doorway, Crash’s long-johns were tossed out of the guest-room before the door was closed shut. Marzo chuckled from the couple’s abrupt exit, and shrugged his shoulders when he turned his focus back to Lost.

“Well then…” As soon as he locked eyes with the blushing zebra, Lost Way gulped audibly. Marzo held out an arm towards the now empty hallway, and said with a sultry purr, “Come on, Lost… Let’s see which fits you best~”

Lost Way struggled not to cringe, and reluctantly followed Marzo out of the living room. “Hnnghh, well, I suppose I cou--Wait, what do you mean ‘Which?’ H-How many chastity cages did you bring?!”

Marzo just rolled his eyes all innocently, like he was expecting a fake halo to appear over his head. “... Not too many~”

That response just made Lost Way more unnerved while being led to the other bedroom. “Oh, jeez…”
