Chapter Text
"Shu, look here! Ike sent me this message, he's inviting us to a party!"
The said boy took a look on his bestfriend's phone, reading himself the text. He thought it was almost strange since the grey haired one didn't usually like going to places where the music was so loud you couldn't hear people talking. And the alcohol, the strong smell of cigarettes. No, it wasn't made for them. For him, at least.
Shu threw an incertain gaze to the younger, moving slowly his head. "I don't think I'll go, Mysta, even if we don't see Ike since he left"
"Why not?" the other raised his voice, pouting. "It's just a night around, nothing will happen to us! Well, yes, Ike doesn't do things like this so often, but we can trust him, he's been our third member for almost three years already" Mysta continued trying to convince him.
But Shu still wasn't sure enough about the proposal. It would have been nice to spend more time with his friends, doing something they didn't normally do, tho. And, how could he not be hit by the puppy face Mysta made? The taller avoided his eyes with a little flush on his cheeks; he hated the way it always affected him. It was just so cute, he seemed so innocent.
"Okay, okay, fine. We'll go to that freak party"
Yeah, fuck off. Mysta said it right, just some joyful hours and it would have been over.
"But I'm doing it just for you and Ikey, got it?" he rapidly added, going up the stairs to prepare himself. "I don't want to hear your cries until next month"
"Yes, captain!"
They were at Shu's house, after a good sleepless night spent between games and anime. They did live alone, so it was routine for Mysta stay with Shu five days out seven at least; the raven haired wasn't even bothered though, he appreciated his company a lot.
They first met at the elementary school, even if they didn't talk to each other at all, not a single "Hi". But after, they randomly were in the same class at high school. Their friendship began and never ripped once. Shu now had a brother, and so had Mysta. But it was kinda weird, 'cause they were so different from one other in every possible context. The orange haired one was empathetic, was very easy for him to make friendships; maybe thanks to his hilarious laughter, or the fact that he was always on his way if someone needed his help, but Shu couldn't find an answer to that. He felt deep admiration for his friend because he wasn't like him, and sometimes it was very pitiful. Shu didn't know how to attract other's attention, he didn't know how to express affection sometimes. Fortunately, with Mysta, well, words weren't needed at all. Their bond spoke for them.
But that night maybe something would have changed in Shu.
Like Mysta said earlier, Ike Eveland, a friend of their, sent them an invitation to a party located in one of the city's most well-known bar, but it would have taken more than an hour to get there by walking so they had to call a taxi; none of them had a drivers license yet.
The taller heard two knocks at his bedroom door, where he was actually changing clothes into something more...serious? He didn't understand.
"It's open, Mysta" he said throwing a look, watching the other coming closer. He could feel his gaze, a bit of pink on his cheeks. "What?"
"I hope you're not going to wear those things, right?" he asked raising an eyebrow, and the silence got him even more confused. "Right...?"
The taller one looked at his own reflection, adjusting the top part on his shoulders. "Why? It's not so bad, is it?"
"You're fucking kidding me, Shu" Mysta moved his head, sighing deeply. "Listen, I know this is the kind of clothes you like... But it's not meant for one night out! You should put on something more sexy and confident!"
For Shu this was like a deja-vu, an already lived moment. It wasn't the first time Mysta had scolded him because of his introverted being, he couldn't help but hide himself from other bad eyes. He never wore tight trousers or tshirts that showed his biceps; 'cause he had some, of course he did. He was pretty athletic, tall and with muscular asset. Mysta was skinny too, but the boy was much less strong.
"You have to show the world how handsome you are, man"
The pink on Shu's baby face became dark red and he couldn't hold eyes contact with the other anymore; he started to pinch fingers while looking out his window, thinking about the party. Before he could realize he saw Mysta unwrap all his clothes from the closet one after another, muttering, until they were all crushed on the floor.
"Ehy!"
"We'll clean after, okay? It's a problem, Shu, a real one!" he said back pointing at his empty wardrobe. "You don't have anything suitable! I looked everywhere, but you don't even have a white shirt! ...okay, I will go home and take an outfit for you, don't try to stop me."
Shu didn't have other choices but let him go, he knew he wouldn't change his mind easily. So he watched his bestfriend going away from the bedroom, hearing right after the main door closing; he now was alone, like it had never happened in a while. He sighed looking back at the mirror.
Shu did wait for him, patiently sitting on the edge of the bed. It was 6pm, and the party was at 9pm. They had three more hours.
As the raven haired heard the door opening again, he ran downstairs still in the same clothes. They glanced at the other, in Shu's eyes was clear the worry. Was he going to wear skirt and thigh high?
"I know that gaze of yours, Yamino" Mysta began walking past him, going again to the bedroom. "I have here some of my favourite garments. I'll change the image you have of yourself"
"Mysta-"
"Take them and go, I'll be waiting here"
Shu took silently the bag and turned back to his room. "I'll kill you if I'm going to came out in a maid dress"
Mysta laughed hard at the threat but denying firmly. "You don't have to worry about this. Even if I appreciate this kind of things, I won't put you in danger, Shu" he raised shoulders, then suddenly smiling maliciuosly. "...You sure you don't want to try?"
"Mysta! What the frick!?" the taller looked at him shocked, quickly covering his chest with the arms.
His nerves were burning with anger to hear how much the other was laughing; but he clenched his fists and gave him the back without a word, silently reddening. Once he was alone, he put on the new outfit composed by a white shirt and a black pair of trousers with side slits that showed up till mid-thigh. Well, it could have been worse than that, he thought. But before he could throw away the bag, he noticed something hidden in a different plastic bag. When he checked it, his eyes were wide open. He found a pair of black belts. He knew they weren't just normal belts, he once accidentaly saw what they were originally used for, before people started wearing them around and making them a sensual fashion.
He had to kill Mysta, after this. God. Shu put those damn belts on around his neck, chest and waist, so he looked at the reflection on the mirror, and he never felt more sexier. He seemed more delicious, his waist smaller due to the belts, his hips were perfectly wrapped by the trousers, and the bottom part... Well, he would have fucked himself. Shu slapped his own cheeks to regain his posture, clearing his voice before reordening the bedroom. He reached Mysta downstairs, which spurted all the water he was drinking when he saw Shu's appereance.
"Holy shit, man"
The raven haired decided to not speak, he hid his face behind the hands instead, the dark locks covering even more. He heard some steps in front of him before a gentle touch on the shoulder; he opened his finger just enough to look at Mysta. The orange one was smiling soflty, almost melting Shu's heart. It was surprising to see him with such an expression as he was always so chaotic and active.
"Why aren't you talking...?" Shu whispered in the silence, oddly uncomfortable around his bestfriend. "You're fricking me out, My-"
"I feel like you're finally growing, Shu, seriously" he calmly talked back. "I've never seen you like this before, with such a good provocative outfit. It suits you, under a certain point of view... You'll have all the men at your feet, tonight"
"S-Shut up! It was all good until you said- that!" Shu stuttered trying to cover the other's mouth but failing.
Mysta ran away from Shu again laughing his insides out; he deeply loved provocating him, he was an open book.
"Let's finish the last things before having dinner, shall we?" Mysta asked after regaining some breath, putting hands towards him for a pause.
"Yeah..."
---------------
It was 8:15 pm, the party was starting soon and they were ready to reach the bar's position. Shu grabbed the home keys from the short table next to the entrance and waited for Mysta to close the main door. After they crossed the road and waited for the taxi. Shu wasn't really paying attention, he just listened to his own steps on the old concrete with eyes lost in the space. For the same reason, Mysta waved a hand in front of his face waking him up.
"Are you okay?" he asked rising an eyebrow. "Y'know, I don't want to go there alone" he lately laughed trying to recollect Shu's smile.
And it seemed working. "I was just distracted, that's all! I won't leave you, don't worry!"
After almost forty minutes of driving in the middle of the large city, surrounded by the enormous traffic, the bar sign appeared as bright as the sun. They were arrived.
Mysta got out sighing, observing around with curiosity on his face. He had never been there, not even once, but everything from the outside gave the impression of being luxury and spectacular. He stayed by Shu's side, smiling again. He knew his bestfriend was tense, he could tell by his closed posture.
"I'm sure the inside is even better. I can already hear the music! Let's go, Shu!"
As they entered, the music was loud in their ears, the impact was that strong that Shu had to cover at least one of them with a suffering face. He groaned turning to Mysta, who was in pain just like him, but the adrenaline was much more stronger in his body; the orange's eyes were already on the dance floor, seeing people all around dancing with the hands in the air without any worries. He didn't waste any time as he grabbed Shu's arm and tugged him to the centre of the giant hall; all eyes were on them. The taller could feel them clearly on his face, on his body, as the strangers were curious about the new guys. He reddened so fast.
"Mysta, we should have something to drink, shouldn't we?" but his gaze screamed "help me"
"You're right, I'm so sorry..." the other nodded catching without problems his agony.
Yeah, he shouldn't have pushed him into something like that without asking him before.
By the way, the reached the bar man and took a sit in front of him, oddly free. They looked at each other, then at the drink menu on the table; it was full of choises, from the analcoholic ones to the strongest in the world. Shu wasn't a cocktail lover, he usually prefered the ones with less alcohol as possible because the burning taste was absolutely not for him. He wanted to try something out of limits, tho.
"Listen, Mysta" he called him by putting a hand on his arm. "I will drink tonight, okay? I won't exagerate, but I don't know how much I can tolerate... If I'll try to do something fricking stupid stop me immediately!"
"I wouldn't even believe in myself, Shu" he laughed ironically, pointing at the menu. "I'd like to go tipsy with you, as a celebration for your transformation!" he added after, gaining the attention of the barman. "Two sazerac, please!"
"At your service" nodded the young man, around thirty years old.
Mysta noticed something while he was looking around in extreme excitement; the three bar men, like also all the security guards near the corners, and like the dozens of waiters, had on their work uniform the same image of a lion, under two letters: KS. What did that mean? But before he could mention it, he noticed another element.
"Why do you still have that on?" he asked Shu.
The said raven boy looked down at himself grabbing with both hands the extremes of his jacket, gazing back at the orange with confusion as he seemed to have seen the worst nightmare. Shu tried to ask him what he meant, but the other didn't let him move as he stood up and yanked off the coat. It didn't take more than two seconds for Shu to understand his bestfriend's goal. Even if he was frustrated by his Action, he calmed down covering his face with elbows on the bar counter.
"Are you happy now?"
"Damn, Shu!" the orange raised eyes to the ceiling. "Show the world the motherfuckin' asset you have! If I wasn't your friend I would have asked you out with this stuff on! There's no need to hide, here! Look, those people are already too drunk to make fun of you"
Shu listened to the stupid speech, but too unfocused to be able to think of an answer. It wasn't easy for him, at all. A little voice in his head said that Mysta was right, though.
After a big big sigh, Shu nodded, now attracted by the cocktail before him. "I will try, I promise. But, Mysta... Where the frick is Ike?"
"He invited us, but didn't let us know nothing more" he thought in high voice, rising shoulders. "We'll recognize him, don't worry. Let's enjoy the alcohol now, shall we?"
--------------
His cocktail vanished way more easily than he expected, his throat burned like hell and he couldn't stop the first coughs to come out. Why the hell did he let Mysta choose something like that for their first shot? Shu observed distracted the empty glass in his hand, clicking the tongue as the whisky was still too fresh in his mouth. Okay, he could do it. He was okay.
The raven haired looked at his friend. "We are not really going to get drunk immediately, aren't we? We should go somewhere else doing something else, right?"
"Twenty minutes ago you begged me to not have fun, and now? Aw, are you afraid you're not able to absorb all the alcohol, Shu?"
The taller gave him a soft punch on the shoulder, taking back his coat from the other's grip with an almost offended expression. "It's not like this! I just don't want to sit here for the rest of the party. I should have stayed at home wrapped in my purple blancket!"
"Okay, okay, Shu!" Mysta laughed. "We should go dancing, mh?"
"I agree... Since I have some alcohol in my body, I hope it will take control for me" he murmured the last part so Mysta wouldn't hear it. "But first I'll give the jacket to the waiter, be right back"
As he said, he took some steps away and went looking for a free waiter that could take care of it until they left. He found one, a young boy on his twenties; he gave him the black coat asking with gentle voice where was the closet, so he could take it back later. After a while Mysta saw his friend come back, disoriented due all the loud noises; he couldn't help but think how well those belts fit him, how sexy he was. The orange noticed only after what was he doing; sexualizing Shu? No, he could never. He was his brother. But at the same time he couldn't get off his eyes from the tall and athletic figure.
Mysta tried with all himself to act natural when the raven spoke near his ear. "It was so confusing over there, I had to search for entire minutes! Was this bar really that big from the outside?"
"I don't think so... But if all these guys are here there must be a good reason, right?" Mysta pointed the dance hall. "They're having the best time of their lives!"
Without a response Shu grabbed Mysta's wrist and dragged him almost running through the crowd of screaming people. What happened to the insecure Shu? Once in the middle of the floor, he began to move to the rhythm, the black and purple locks free to cover his pretty and now a bit pink face; the bass of the music made their chests quiver and isolated the external world, wrapping them alone in paradise. Both began to feel the alcohol rising in their bodies, warming up and urging them to forget who they were for just one night. Mysta saw a smile on Shu's lips and immediately he convinced himself he's done a great work. Finally he was able to see the hidden part of his friend.
They soon learned that was normal for the others to dance and rub against strangers, and multiple times happened that someone leaned on Shu's back and invited him to dance without any shame, specifically girls, or made him spin on himself holding his hand up. It was actually fun, he thought.
But suddenly he felt two strong arms wrapping his waist and pulling him against a solid chest not letting him any chances of escaping. Shu froze widening his eyes, putting immediately his hands around the stranger's wrists. A hot breath tickled his neck, the stanch of alcohol and cigarettes went though him making his nose wrinckle. He shivered as the man rested his chin on his shoulder.
"There's no need to be afraid, kid. I won't hurt you"
The raspy voice echoed too near, too strong for his likes.
"Let me go"
Shu desperately moved eyes for Mysta, but he couldn't find him anywhere. It happened so fast that he had lost sight of him, and now he was really scared. The raven tried to turn to see his face, but the other was quicker to prevent it and wrapped a hand around his neck; Shu could feel his own hearbeat increasing under his fat fingers.
"L-let me go!"
"You indeed heard him, didn't you?"
A third voice appeared from behind them, more deep and frightening. The one who was holding the raven almost fell to the ground with weak knees, but Shu felt something inside of him, a wave of positivity: freedom.
"M-Milord-"
"Enough. Set him free, now" the other man blocked his words. "You know pretty well there will be consequences, mr, if you terrorize our clients. I confide in your intelligence."
"I-I would never d-do it, Milord. My sincere apologies"
Shu was freed the second later, but pushed away roughly; before he could stumble, his savior caught him holding him tighly in his grasp. It was a mistake for Shu to look up. He saw a pair of golden eyes brighter than gold, with a feline cut that stared at him; he had black hair too, gathered at the nape of his neck but long enough to fall softly over his shoulders.
"I-I- you saved my life, I owe you everything" Shu stuttered once on his feet again, trembling.
"I couldn't let him do what you didn't want to, it's a moral condition of mine. We assure our clients security and amusement"
"...Do you work here?" Shu realized just now that he heard twice "our clients" from him.
"Yes, I do. I'm close to the bosses, I help them capturing those creep men and I make sure they won't come back so easily. You know, who makes one mistake will always make them" he talked back nodding, and then raised an eyebrow, biting his bottom lip. "I have an idea"
"What...?"
"Would you like to meet the boss?"
The proposal got Shu unprepared. He opened his mouth to give him an answer, but closing it way sooner not knowing what to say.
"I'm sorry, maybe I spoke without thinking. I didn't even tell you my name yet, my apologies. I'm Vox Akuma, but here I'm called Milord. May I know yours?"
Shu felt his heart in his ears, the blood running to the cheeks. He wasn't used to all that kindness, gallantry in his gestures and words. Perhaps he could trust him, he saved him after all. He didn't seem a bad person.
"I'm Shu Yamino, nice to meet you" Shu smiled a little. "Uhm...I should go back to my friend... I lost him before you arrived and I don't know where he might be. Could... Could you please help me?"
"Of course I can" Vox nodded smiling back at him. "But you won't need to look for him, I exactly know where he is"
That sentence caught his attention, and he relaxed his shoulders. "Really?"
"Yeah, certainly. And there might be your friend, too, Ike Eveland"
"How... How did you know?" Shu stopped his steps right there, starting to worrying a little. It was so weird.
"The boy is an abitual client here, he came to me and asked if I could guide you and your bestfriend to him, after your arrive. And so I am doing, he gave me a little description of your aestethic, too, so I could recognize you among the crowd. Ike usually waits at one of the private rooms, he likes...the kind of services we offer."
Vox turned his head towards the raven, silently proud of himself. He adored seeing his confused face, he seemed so innocent that almost made his heart melt; wait, what heart? His cold-stoned heart.
"It's your first time here, am I right?"
"Yes... It is" Shu cleared his voice tugging some black locks behind his ear. "Sincerely... I'm not the kind of person that likes this places, I'm not a drinker, I prefer peace and tranquility. To be honest, I'm here just to make my friends happy"
He didn't know why he was saying all those things to a stranger, opening himself like that wasn't really his style. It was the alcohol in his veins.
"I see. Well, I hope you're enjoying this opportunity by the way"
"Y-yeah, I'm having some fun" he added too fast.
"We're arrived" Vox announced after some time, stopping before two closed red courtains. "You're free to open and enter"
Shu looked one last time at the other behind him with insecurity in his eyes, like there was still something off inside of him, something that was trying to warn him. However, the raven opened the courtains with both arms and made himself an entrance into the spacious room. Just as Vox told him, Ike and Mysta were there, chatting on the comfortable sofa like nothing happened. They were smiling while drinking, already two empy glasses on the luxurious table.
Ike stood up as he saw Shu. "Shu! It's been a while!"
"Hi, Ike! Nice to see you again" the raven smiled hugging the other, his fresh perfume in his nose. "How have you been abroad?"
"I were just telling Mysta, but you arrived in time" the grey sat on the couch letting Shu beside him.
------
Shu didn't know how much time had passed, maybe twenty minutes or maybe three hours. They enjoyed the chatting a lot tho; Ike travelled alone to Japan due to his job, he was a novelist. The raven and the orange rememberd clearly the moment Ike told them about his decision, he felt like he had to discover more things, he was lacking of ispiration for his newest book. Thankfully he found a lot more than just ispiration.
The three were so focused on their little moment that they didn't hear the first knocks at the wall. Only in a second time they recognized an unfamiliar voice.
"Shu Yamino" the waiter called once in the private room, his face preciously covered behind a white mask.
"Y-Yeah?" Shu stood up while his heart increased the speed.
"The boss wants to have a talk with you. If you want to follow me"
"T-the boss...?" the raven talked back widening his eyes, turning to Mysta and Ike.
"Yes, you have hit his attention indeed." the other spoke still composed, it was hard even to see his chest moving. He was patiently waiting, and it made the taller even more anxious.
"Shu" he heard Ike from behind him, noticing his difficulty. "It's a great thing! They never want anyone in their offices, plus, I've never found a bar cooler than this"
"Go on" Mysta added, cheeks pink due the alcohol but clean enough to speak on his own. "I'm sure it won't be bad"
"It won't be certainly, I assure myself" the waiter. "Now, mr. Yamino, the boss would like to discuss with you"
Shu soon nodded at the young man and did only few steps before looking again at his bestfriend in lack of confidence. He wanted their smiles, their support. He got them both. He had no idea why the boss wanted to see him, but the anxiety inside wasn't leaving him for a second and was gripping his stomach tightly. Shu could still feel the dizziness behind his purple eyes, the legs almost moving without command. He looked at the waiter, even if all he could see was his back; he was wearing the same white outfit as the others employers, not a minimum thing off position.
The only huge detail was the mask. The others didn't have it, the clients could see their perfect faces, there wasn't a bit of mistery. Then why did he had to? Shu noticed later that his composture was weird, too, not in a negative way. In other words, this young man just walked straight on his back, not a step longer than the previous. He was confident and precise, elegant and almost noble. It scared him. He was so different from his colleagues.
The raven soon realized that the way they were taking was also quite different. After leaving the tent where there were his best friends, they took some long corridors and as they went on the music got less and less loud: they were moving away from the dance floor. Soon Shu entered a very dissimilar area, which seemed to have nothing to do with the actual bar. The ceiling was pretty higher now, the walls were red with decorations in dark wood, some paintings and gold statues placed over furnitures adorned the angles. His steps were muffled by black and red carpets. Where the frick did he end up? In an extra luxurious dream?
They continued for a little more, until the waiter stopped before a giant entrance composed by two smaller wood doors. "This is the boss' office." he said in a whisper. He then knocked twice.
"Come in" they heard from the other side of the door.
The entrance opened, but it wasn't by his guide's doing. Shu found himself in front of a huge room, he didn't know how to describe it properly but he clearly felt that he did not belong to that environment, too serious and perhaps suffocating for him. The interior of the room was not so different from the outside, the red and black patterns still mixed with some extra golden details that gave a prosperous air. Who knows what kind of person their leader was, surely he must have been a snob with all that money owned. He himself knew economically wealthy people like him and they had never made a good impression on him; they thought they were superior to the others, cooler, even more trustworthy in the society.
"You must be Shu Yamino" he heard, and contrary to his expectations it wasn't an old voice at all. "You can come closer, I won't bite" he laughed after.
For the raven was not possible to look at him due the size of the room, it was so spacious that he had difficulty focusing on the faces; no, actually it wasn't that big; the culprit was the amount of alcohol that still moved his body and blurred his sight, and that was the lie Shu continued to repeat to himself. Shu shut his eyes twice trying to regain some lucidity and moved closer as requested, now being able to see the two guys who were behind the doors, surely the same ones who welcomed him: he noticed they were wearing white masks and butler suits, too. Despite being dizzy, it did not take long for him to make two plus two and to understand that the ones with the cover on their flesh were the personal staff of the boss, the closest to him.
The tall guy caught with the tail of his eyes the guide leaving without a word, and heard soon after the creacking of the double doors. He was alone, alone, around the strong boss. Well, he could not do anything but stare at his back as the other wasn't facing him. All he could see were a pair of tight jeans that highlighted the leg muscles gained with he dared not imagine how much training, and a beige shirt perfectly fitting. Black hair, slightly shoulder-length. No, without doubt he was young, very young; the same age, perhaps?
"You're probably gonna ask why I called you here, right?"
His voice echoed once again in the large area, sending unexplained shivers down his body. The raven stayed quiet, still frozen in place.
"I want an answer, Shu"
"Y-yes!" the said boy tilted his head, reddening. Damn. "I was worried about it..."
"Thank you" the other nodded only to be seen by Shu, whose heart was beating a lot faster than before. "Take a sit, you're my guest"
And so the raven haired sat on the nearest couch, sinking into the soft and savoring in silence the smell of leather; the silence was heavy, he almost couldn't breath properly. He sighed biting his lower lip while observing tensed the boss' moves. He still didn't show his appearence, and it was driving Shu crazy. Was he a killer? Maybe he didn't want to expose himself because he was hunted down by the police and every little mistake could have cost him dearly. Was that so? He was going to die soon. He didn't even said Mysta goodb-
"Here. Drink it" his words cut off Shu's thoughts and made him jolt.
The raven looked up and oh lord. His eyes and mouth opened instinctively at the sight in front of him, trying to speak but only letting out meaningless whispers. He wouldn't have lied if he had said he was ethereal and sexy. That lewd consideration had him weak, reddening even more. He couldn't move his gaze off of him, though, it was like he had been captured by the most handsome thug in the whole world. His purple eyes were lost in a pair of golden and brilliant irises, inside which he could see a thousand and more emotions but erased by coldness; their faces were just few inches away, the raven could feel the other's hot breath. He didn't appear bothered by that, Shu was a mess of burning flesh instead, starting from his cheeks. The detail didn't go wasted by the boss, who smiled a little and got up now towering him.
"I don't think you're deaf, puppet" he said out of nowhere, pointing with a head shift a full glass on the table. "I told you to drink it. Will you do it for me, mh?"
The raven gulped soundly his own saliva making himself small in the shoulders; he started to feel cold without the jacket, plus the pressing presence in front of him was obscuring his mind.
"What is it? You don't accept things from strangers, like mama told you?" the boss made fun of him laughing. "I assume you want me to introduce myself first, so we won't be strangers anymore"
Shu watched him in silence as he stepped back only to take a sit beside him, too close as their hips were touching through the pants fabric. The raven tried to not peek at his thighs, he wrinkled his face to the other side in an attempt to not fall for his high appeal which was almost impossible in that situation. His perfume was so strong. All he could do momentary was waiting for his voice to come out and break the awkward silence.
"My name's Luca Kanekuro, I own this place with my siblings. You may know Luca Kaneshiro"
That name wasn't new to his ears, but was hard to remember where he had heard it for the first time. He nodded anyway, brave enough to reciprocate the look he felt burning on him all the time.
"I'm kinda jealous of him now, y'know?" he grinned licking his lips. "Fortunately at the moment I'm alone here, my siblings are out for other important questions"
"...And-" Shu started to speak lightly nearly interrupting the other. "What does it have to do with me...?"
"Vox told me you could be a great company. He saw you earlier with that shit man, I'm sorry it had happened to you" he seemed sincere. "I'm just looking for some good time, nothing more" Luca raised shoulders. "I won't kill you, if it's in your worries, not today at least" he added fast, taking the other in surprise.
The black haired then began to laugh harder at Shu's expression, mixed in fear and confusion. He thought the boy was very fun, perhaps innocent enough to catch completely his curiosity; he had no problem admitting that he wasn't missing a lot before he lost control. At that point there would have been serious problems for the new little friend.
"I'm fine now" Shu whispered softly, returning to stare at his boots in lack of courage.
"I will ask once again, but for the last time, Shu" he changed completely his voice, dangerously lowering it while leaning closer to the other's left ear. "All in one gulp, puppet"
Say that a war was shaking up inside Shu was an understatement. A part of him wanted to blindly follow his request, to obey even if it would be dangerous, even if he had known him for less than ten minutes. He said he just needed to spend some time so it wouldn't have been a mistake, maybe. On the other hand, his rational and insecure part was coming back stronger than before, thanks also to the almost vanished effects of the previously ingested cocktails. That part would have preferred to die than drink something he didn't even know what it was. Yeah, the second choice was the best.
"Actually, like I told Vox...I don't like drinking a lot-"
"Well, I'll just have to use strong manners with you then, bad bad puppet" Luca growled without letting him finish his sentence, getting up so easily and fast that Shu didn't even see him.
Before he could realize he felt himself grabbed by the hair with such force that he had to pull his head back and look at the ceiling. He choked on himself with extreme fright trying to wave his legs or arms so as to hit him, but he quickly perceived Luca's weight on his thighs; doing so he immobilized his bottom half, he couldn't move one muscle under the massive strenght. Immediately after was his hands' turn. The boss captured both wrists with one hand and moved them upwards so they wouldn't bother him. Shu was finally under his complete control. Luca took some seconds to admire him in all his cute fear, towering him again with his imponent height; pride spread inside his chest making him smile.
"P-please, don't-!" Shu squeaked under breath, moving his head. "Don't do it!"
"I'm not doing anything, puppet, see? If you just had listened to me sooner this wouldn't have happened" Luca approached his face again, half-lidded eyes but full of fiery and lust. He did know what he was doing. "But you couldn't help yourself and now you're paying for your actions. You'll never rip me off, Shu"
Luca whispered another word or two before grabbing the glass still full behind him and bringing it close to Shu's tempting lips, which he squeezed tightly. Shu heard a growl from the other, a deep one that for the millionth time made him arch his back with chills.
Suddenly he no longer felt the floor under his feet, his back sliding a little lower on the couch. He opened his eyes after leaving them closed for too long and like a punch to the stomach he realized what Luca did. He saw his legs wide open and between them Luca attaching his crotch to his own. With a minimum of movement he could have perceived everything. The sudden but lewd position sent electric shocks directly to Shu's lower abdomen, where Luca had his eyes. It surely didn't pass over him.
"Open it" the boss ordered pushing the edge of the glass against his still shutted mouth.
Shu meowled squeezing hard his eyes, denying with all the strenght he possessed: the only thing he could do. He tried to break free from the other's grasp on his wrists, with the only consequence of having forced Luca to tighten even more. How stupid. What happened next made his heart drop few beats.
Luca thrusted forward mercilessly, straight to the intimacy of the other still lying down. The rubbing stole an involuntary and sonorous moan from his lips, unexpected but equally sweet and sensual to the leader's ears. He urgently wanted to hear more of it.
He smiled with a deep and short laugh. "I finally have your attention, uh? Seems you didn't want anything else but this" Luca whispered without looking at the raven, instead focusing on his lower part.
He did it again, slamming with more cruelty to his crotch while pushing his wrists down to keep him still. Shu once again moaned loudly, opening slightly his lips; that was the opportunity the boss was waiting for. He lowered the entire liquid down the other's throat, watching him while he started coughing violently. Luca soon set him free, going straight back on his feet; he licked the remnants from the glass humming happily, cleaning himself with the tongue and putting down the finally empty crystal. In the background, Shu was catching his breath with a hand around his red neck.
"W-what the fuck did you just give me!?"
"Don't worry about it, puppet" Kanekuro put two fingers under his chin forcing him to look up. "It was just a little bit of Kaneshiro's Aphrodisiac"
