Beachside playtime

As he had many times before, a red dragon walked along a beach to meet up with an aquatic friend. For the first time though, he was bringing things with him: 4 water bottles strapped to his body. He had something quite different in mind that he wanted to do with his friend Lantern...
Reaching the usual flat rock, the dragon waited... And before long, a familiar aquatic monster poked its head from the water. "Been a little while, huh? Are you ready for... Why do you have those bottles?"
The dragon smiled. "Well, have a peek in my mind...~"
"Another request, then... Fine by me." As always, the light from Lantern's photophore turned a deep purple, and the dragon felt him enter their mind. What was in there was quite a bit different from what Lantern was expecting: He saw himself on the beach, pinned in place by the dragon as he gasps at the air with a blue blush! "...Wait, what?"
Before Lantern could react, the dragon jumped down from the rock and picked him up, carrying him from the water! Lantern immediately closed his mouth and sealed his gills, puffing his cheeks and holding in the water he'd happened to have as he struggled in the dragon's grip. But, he couldn't get free, just watching the water get farther and farther away...
About 30 feet from the water, the dragon set Lantern down, the fish monster looking up at him and speaking into his mind instead of out loud. "Y-you know I can't breathe out here!"
"Oh, I know, that's why I brought these bottles! Wanted to get you back for that prank last time, and figured you might be interested in trying out breathplay yourself~"
The dragon was right; Lantern had fantasized in the past about how the dragon felt while low on breath, and did always want to try that himself, but had always been too nervous to try. Already, he could feel himself getting aroused as his fear faded, knowing he could trust the dragon. "...Well... Push me as far as you like~"
"With pleasure~" To make sure Lantern doesn't move, the dragon pinned him in place, just like in the image they'd shown him before. It wasn't taking long for signs of the fish needing to breathe to make themselves clear; a blush was already starting to form on their face. He kept calm for now though, feeling his need to breathe gradually get worse...
"Well, don't let me have all the fun, do your hypnosis thing!"
"Oh, right! I was kind of distracted..." Lantern's photophore began to glow green, as it always did when he used this ability of his. "You have a water bubble around your head." Immediately, the dragon held his breath and puffed his cheeks as he saw his head was submerged. Obviously, the water wasn't really there, but the dragon wholeheartedly believed it was. Nonexistent bubbles rose from his nostrils as he smiled at Lantern.
"You know, in a way, this'll be our first breath holding contest! O-of course, I'm gonna lose, I'm not good at this..." Lantern did his best to keep holding in what water he had, but little grunts were starting to be audible from him.
"Hey, I don't really have a good breath either, so maybe..." The dragon used the mental connection between him and Lantern to talk, not wanting to waste his "limited" air.
Over another minute, both scaly friends kept holding their breath, but indeed, it was becoming clear who'd be winning this breath holding contest. Lantern became more and more restless over time, his chest heaving and gills quivering as water began to slowly leak out of him. Meanwhile, the dragon pinning him was still doing just fine despite his lungs only being about a third of the way full.
"I...I-I need water..." Lantern covers his mouth with one of his flippers, starting to squirm under the dragon.
"You're not getting any until you start gasping~" While he wasn't used to being dominant with Lantern, the dragon would certainly admit this was a nice change of pace.
Though he knew full well that he couldn't possible overpower the dragon, Lantern started to instinctively struggle to get free, his blush beginning to turn purple. By now, he'd lost quite a bit of water, and his cheeks had mostly deflated. Not having anywhere near as much experience as the dragon, Lantern could feel himself nearing his limit, looking up at them with a pleading expression as his eyes begin to water. "I-I'm... G-gonna breathe!"
The dragon puffed some air from his nostrils with a smile, seeing bubbles as he did. "Now you're gonna know what it's like for me when I breathe water~"
With a few more heaves of his chest, the last of Lantern's water was forced from him, the fish now just holding back from inhaling. But, as his blush began turning blue, he just couldn't manage it any more. He opened his mouth wide... "HUUAAA! HUU, HUUUA!" Lantern's first ever breath of air rushed into him, stinging his insides and burning his gills! He instinctively kept gasping, but no breath was coming, the air uselessly venting through his mouth and gills-
Then, with some splashing, relief at last. While Lantern had been distracted by the pain, the dragon had pulled one of the bottles free, uncapped it, and poured its water into his gasping mouth. Lantern gratefully inhaled the water he was given, the burning of his body being soothed by the gasp that was now doing something for him. With a fresh breath of water held in him again, Lantern quickly calmed down. "Th-thanks for that... Man, that's what you go through when you're drowning?" He blushed in arousal, realizing he'd gotten fully erect from his attempted breaths of air.
"P-probably pretty close..." The dragon was fully erect as well, though not just from having seen his friend starting to suffocate. With the imaginary water bubble still on his head, he was still "forced" to hold his breath, and his lungs were beginning to burn by now, a purple blush on his face. He'd been caught with very little air in him when Lantern had made him believe the water bubble was there...
Lantern smiled at the dragon. "Having fun with that water bubble there?"
"I-it's neat... B-but I think I'm gonna breathe soon..."
"...Well, you're mostly right. Inhale." As Lantern's photophore tinted green again and the command resonated in the dragon's mind, an intense urge to breathe formed. For once, he fought it; never in his life had he wanted to breathe more than right then, even when Lantern had pushed him to his limit in the past, but he held shut, whimpering in his intense struggle...
A second had passed - a new record for the dragon resisting Lantern's hypnosis. Then, the dragon's maw opened wide as he gasped, feeling the nonexistent water rushing down his throat. It was quite interesting from Lantern's point of view; after the dragon's gasp, they went into a coughing fit as if they were choking on something, before they'd gasp again and simply repeat that. But, the dragon believed himself to be drowning, slurping and gurgling as flurries of bubbles were sent out with each cough.
So thorough was the dragon's belief, he was quickly getting one of the other usual effects of it: His cock was fully erect and aching, intensely aroused from the imagined drowning... With another gasp of "water", he came, patterning the sand of the beach with his cum. Each gasp led to another spurt, and the dragon collapsed onto the ground, freeing Lantern at last as he writhed in pain and pleasure. Despite not truly being drowning, his face was blue, his coughing and choked gasps keeping him from getting enough oxygen-
"Th-the water bubble is gone." With the imagined water bubble out of the way, the dragon coughed up the water he still believed to be in his lungs before finally getting the air he'd been breathing all along. He bucked his hips a few times as his orgasm slowed down and stopped, and he panted as he smiled at Lantern. "M-man, drowning on land feels weird..."
"W-well, I'm getting close to that myself again..." Lantern has gotten a slight purple blush again at this point.
"Oh, right, hang on!" The dragon uncapped a second bottle, and Lantern opened their mouth to take in a breath of the water the dragon then poured in, the fish's breathless blush fading away again.
With a fresh supply of water in his body again, Lantern smiled. "Thanks... Now, what do I make you believe next...~ Ah, got it. First, hold your breath."
"What have you got planned?" Despite being unsure what'll be happening, the dragon did as he was told, taking a deep breath before holding it and puffing his cheeks.
"Just felt like expanding on something from last time... You're a quadrupedal fish, and you're not good at holding your breath. Entering the water will not occur to you." Immediately, the dragon's vision blurred some, his aquatic eyes not the best at seeing on land. Keeping his gills firmly shut, he smiled at Lantern. "Well, we've got a good amount of time... How about I stop being the only one to be getting pleasure here?~"
Lantern smiled and rolled onto their back, presenting his twin claspers. "Go on, have your way with me~" The dragon nodded and stood over Lantern, still fully erect despite having cum only a minute or so ago. Holding onto the fish, the dragon lined up his cock with Lantern's rear before penetrating them, both of the two internally moaning some.
About a minute in, as the dragon humped his friend, he felt his gills growing uncomfortable, his body beginning to need water... He tried to ignore it, but after another 30 seconds, the need to breathe was making his gills burn, his lips quivering as water started to leak from him. Shivering a little, the dragon paused, uncapping the third water bottle and inhaling its contents, quickly feeling better. Lantern tried to hide his surprise at that, watching the definitely not aquatic dragon inhale water as if it were air...
The dragon now felt an odd weight in his chest, but he chalked that up to just not being used to holding in a breath of water like this. The feeling of that weight was oddly hot for whatever reason, substantially adding to his pleasure and making his cock throb harder as he resumed fucking Lantern. Just another half minute later, both partners were bordering on orgasms, and one more thrust from the dragon was enough to send both of them over the edge.
They both moaned, Lantern losing a bit of water in the process as his claspers spurted cum into the air, and the dragon's cock into him, distracting both from their need to breathe. Lantern ended up getting quite a bit of his cum on himself, and his belly expanded some with all the dragon's cum, but he didn't mind either of these. Once they both began to come down from their climaxes, Lantern smirked and his photophore lit up green as he used his hypnosis once again. "All my previous commands are invalid."
"HMRGH!" Immediately, the dragon regained awareness of being an air breather, and realized the weight in his chest was the water he'd inhaled! Just a moment later, he went into a coughing fit as he forced out said water, getting some of it on Lantern in the process. The feeling was still hot to the dragon despite the pain, and his orgasm was extended by several seconds before it finally fully stopped.
"Did you like being a fish for a little while?~" Lantern smiled up at the dragon standing over him, starting to have a little strain in holding his breath again.
"Y-you tricked me into breathing water... Think you deserve a punishment~" The dragon pulls loose the last water bottle, uncapping it as Lantern opened their mouth to accept the lifegiving water... Before the dragon simply dumped it on the ground away from them.
"H-hey, no!" Lantern tried to grab at the water with his fins, but it was fruitless, not even getting a drop of it.
"You've drowned me a lot of times... It's about time I returned the favor~" The dragon took a few steps away from Lantern, before sitting down and watching them. "Kind of a shame it won't take long... Oh well."
Instinctively, now that he had the chance, Lantern began to flop and pull himself toward the sea, but it was slow going, his body not made for this environment. It took him a second to go a foot, fighting his own weight as he gradually used up the oxygen in what water he could hold inside him. It was at least looking like he could make it in time...
Then, the dragon grabbed Lantern, slinging him across their back. "Nope, you're not going anywhere but AWAY from there for now~" They started walking away from the water with him as his own water began to slowly leak from his gills. In this element, Lantern was powerless to stop the dragon... But, to some degree, he DID want to try this out, so he didn't use his hypnosis despite how easily it would let him escape.
After a little while of walking, reaching some grass, the dragon set Lantern down, water spurting from the fish's mouth. Then, the dragon sat down again. "You know, I think this is your first time touching grass... How's it feel?"
The dragon was right; Lantern had never experienced grass before. It was an extremely alien feeling, essentially having many small, soft spikes poking at him. "I-it's weird..." Lantern did his best to press his fins to his mouth to hold in his water better, but it hardly helped, most of the leakage happening through his gills as he gained a purple blush once again.
"Well, you probably won't be experiencing it much longer before you pass out."
Lantern struggled more and more, losing more water as even his cheeks began to deflate. Again, his instincts forced him to struggle, starting to flop again as his gills burned. But, his coordination was suffering, and he wasn't getting anywhere, as if he would've made it back to the water like this anyway.
Finally, Lantern was once again approaching his limit, shivering as his blush now became blue. "G-get me back... G-gonna breathe..."
"Go ahead and breathe, then! I'm breathing just fine, what's stopping you?" The dragon laughed, starting to masturbate as he watched Lantern just about to start truly suffocating.
As much as he tried to stop himself, Lantern soon had no choice but to take the dragon's suggestion. The very last of his water leaked out onto the ground, and he opened his mouth wide. "HUUUUA!" Once again, air uselessly rushed into the fish's body as he started to "drown", a soreness quickly forming inside him as his insides began drying out.
"There you go... There's no water coming just yet, not until you're unconscious."
Lantern kept fitfully gasping, his frantic flopping soon stopped by the dragon setting a paw on him to pin him down so he didn't hurt himself. Of course, no matter how much the fish gasped, no oxygen was coming, his suffocating body unable to process the air around and inside him. His blue blush gradually spread across his face as his coughs and gasps became more hoarse and raspy, and he still squirmed as much as he could.
Finally, mercifully, the pain started to fade after about 30 seconds, Lantern's struggles slowing as his body started to go numb. His head was swimming as much as he wished his body was, as he was beginning to turn blue all over... But, now that the pain was just about gone, and despite his recent orgasm, Lantern found himself getting horny as his oxygen continued to drain. Was this how the dragon felt when he'd drown them?
As the dragon lifted their paw off him again, Lantern moved, but not toward the ocean. Instead, he gathered his fading strength and rolled onto his side, then his back, smiling at the dragon and making sure they saw his erections. With his consciousness dimming, it was hard to make out the dragon's response, but he managed it. "Wait, really? You're already hard again?"
"G-guess so...heh..." As much as he wanted to masturbate, flipping over had taken nearly all the strength Lantern had left, and he simply lay limp, weakly and slowly breathing. But, it didn't seem doing anything would be necessary; his arousal was gradually increasing regardless, the throbbing of his claspers being one of the few things he could still feel... And, in a new record for his shortest time between climaxes, Lantern weakly came on himself again, smiling as his eyes started to roll back...
Lantern shuddered a few times, not even able to make himself breathe any more, and entirely lost his awareness, passing out at last. The dragon stopped masturbating at this point, draping the unconscious, air-drowned fish across his back and starting to head back to the water. "About time I wasn't the one to drown... Man, I didn't expect him to enjoy it that much!"
Once he got most of the way in the water, the dragon tilted himself to let Lantern fall off and submerge, then waited. Before too long, he could already see Lantern's body returning to its normal color, the water around them soaking their gills again and refilling their dry body... And soon, they slowly opened their eyes, coughing up a few bubbles.
The dragon felt Lantern's mind connect to his again. "...I-I guess you're not the only one of us that likes drowning now."
"It's so cool that you happened to be an aquaphile too! We're gonna have so much more fun with these!"
"Maybe not "aquaphile", since aqua means water. More like... "Aerophile", I'd say." Lantern is entirely back to his normal colors, even his blush gone as he starts cleaning the cum off himself.
"Aerophile, that's a neat name for it! And, um... Sorry I was so forceful about that whole thing. Just thought it'd be cool for you to finally see what it's like."
"Oh, I don't mind, I could've made you stop whenever I wanted. Speaking of that, just in case I missed something, all my previous commands are invalid."
The dragon felt no different. "You didn't do anything else between when you last cleared it and now, don't worry."
"Alright, just had to be sure... Hey, did you cum while I was out? I've got an idea."
"No, I didn't. What's up?"
"Cum." Immediately, the dragon bucked his hips as he came, a surprised moan ringing out. It definitely didn't feel nearly as good as a regular orgasm, and didn't go as long as one, but it was still good. Coming down from it after just a few seconds, the dragon panted a little. "O-okay, that's something you can do... Please don't do it again though, it's nowhere near as good as a proper orgasm."
"Figured that'd be the case. Alright, never again unless you ask."
The dragon sighed as he knew it was time to bid farewell to his friend once again. "Guess we should head our separate ways again now, huh?"
"Yeah, think we're both just about spent now... Do you want a condition this time? Forgot to ask before."
"Go ahead, these are always fun!"
"Alright, already got one in mind. Whenever you yawn, you'll believe yourself to be underwater for the next minute."
"Oh, that's gonna be fun! I'll tell you all about the awkwardness that brings me next time we meet up~"
"Looking forward to it~" Lantern and the dragon hugged, saying their goodbyes, and Lantern swam off while the dragon returned to the land. Interested in what his new condition will be like, the dragon yawned, and his surroundings gained a blue tint, bubbles leaving his mouth. With a smile between his puffed cheeks, he continued on his way, wondering what this will have his life be like until he next meets with Lantern.
