  Chapter 1: Strawberries

  “Why are you still here, Cait?” Kai questioned as he walked into the security room. “New guy is running late,” she replied; scribbling something on her pastel orange notebook. “What about you?” She questioned back. Kai lifted his left wrist up and stared at his dark brown leather watch. 10:48PM. “I still have a bit more time to go,” he sighed as he shoved his hand back into his pocket. “Hey,” he said as he walked closer to the camera, “Have you seen Akino by any chance?” “I don’t think so,” Cait scanned through the camera, “I think I saw him go into C Wing? I-” “Thanks,” Kai interrupted her as he waved goodbye. C Wing? That’s where people for- Kai’s heart sank a bit; he stared at the white marble floors, trying not to make eye contact with anyone as he rushed to C Wing.

  Small muffle cries. Kai turned into the first hall to the right. The sounds became louder and clearer. “Shut the fuck you, whore,” He hears a man yell not too far away. “Please, stop,” He heard someone reply. That sounded like Akino.

  Kai walks into the room and it took all his willpower to not run over to them and kill the guy hurting Akino. This. This is your job. You’ve done this so many times. Get his info, and escort him outside.

  Kai looks at Akino. His lime green shirt torn in half; black shorts and boxers were thrown to the other side of the room. The man’s dick was out. Kai but his tongue, trying not to burst, but ultimately failed. Kai grabs the guy by his neck and throws him to the floor. “Well, well, what do we have here?” Kai spats. Akino got up from the dark oak table and slides to the floor and begins sobbing. Kai looks back at the client and begins kicking him in the stomach. “Stop,” the guy grunts in pain, trying to get up. “What?” Kai drags him by his hair and throws him to the floor once again, “You want me to stop? You sick fuck. You didn’t stop when Aki begged. You think-” The client hunches over, covering his head. “-That I would show some type of mercy? Apologize to him!”

  “Sorry.”

  “Louder.”

  “Sorry!”

  “LOUDER.”

  “I’m sorry!”

  Kai looks back at Akino; Akino stared down, not even paying any type of attention to the guy. “There’s your answer.” Kai smirked as he directed his attention back to the client. “Kai,” Akino whispered under his breath. Kai blinked a few times, snapping out of it. He looked at the man- his face was pale and couldn’t stop shivering. Crap, I got too emotional. “If I ever see you here ever again, mark my words, I will personally cut off your dick and shove it in your ass. Now, scram!” Kai barked, making the client bolt up, grabs his clothing and runs out.

  “Aki,” Kai calls out; he took a second glimpse at the completely torn apart room, “What happened?” Akino shivered a bit and shook his head. Kai pinches the bridge of his nose; both stayed quiet for a few minutes. “You know,” Kai takes of his jacket, kneeled, and places the jacket over Akino, “If you don’t want to tell me, I might have to see the tapes.” “Don’t!” Akino cried out and grabbed Kai’s hand, “I don’t want you to see. Please,” Akino begged, “Please delete it.” Kai looked at Akino; his bleached blond hair is completely messed up, cuts on his rosy lips, scratches over his body and a few bite marks slowly started to become visible. Kai felt Akino’s cold hand trembling.

  “Alright,” Kai agrees, “I’ll delete when I come in tomorrow. Okay?” Akino nods, taking his hand off Kai. Kai gets up, followed by Akino. “Um,” Akino mumbled as he realized the jacket only fits him midthigh; he pulls the jacket lower, trying to cover himself even more. “Here,” Kai walked over to get Akino’s shorts and boxer and hands them over to him; Kai turns around.

  “You don’t have to turn around, don’t forget I’m a stripper. I’m used to it,” Akino looks at his stained black boxers and stuffs them in the jacket’s pocket; he then quickly puts on his black shorts.

  “Just cause you’re used to it, doesn’t mean anything. You’re doing your job- and a great one at that- but that doesn’t define you; it doesn’t mean I should try to have a free pass. I respect you, Aki, please don’t look down on me.”

  Akino’s heart skipped a beat. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.” Akino whispered as he pulled the jacket up a bit and covered his mouth.

  “It’s fine. Just, remember that. Are you done?”

  “Yeah.”

  “Okay. If you want,” Kai says as he turns around and faces Akino, “I can call a cab for you? Maybe take a week off?”

  “No, I don’t want to go home.”

  “Oh. Hotel?”

  “I’m actually a bit low in cash. Which is why I have this sort of job to begin with.”

  “I see,” Kai rubs the back of his head, “Well. You can stay with me, if you want. Just, if you can help me a bit with cooking and cleaning, we can call it a fair trade?”

  “Deal.” Akino smiled.

  Kai looks at his watch. “I have to sign out already. Meet you at front?”

  Akino nodded. Akino watched Kai walk off as he clutched onto the jacket he gave him; he heart began pounding out of his chest. “Ah,” Akino mumbled to himself; he slapped his cheek a few times. He scanned the room and found his phone thrown across the room; he walks out, never wanting to see the room ever again.

  He noticed people staring at him. They knew. Look at them laughing. Akino looked away and ran to the front of the building. “Aki,” Kai yelled out as soon as he came into view, “Ready?” “Yeah,” Akino slightly smiled. Kai directed his attention to some coworkers and excuses Akino and himself and they walked out of the building.

  The ride to the apartment was short and quiet. Kai kept staring at Akino from the corner of his eye, checking to see if he was alright, while Akino stared at his own hands that laid on his lap. “We’re here,” Kai announced as he turns off the car, “Come on,” Kai patted Akino’s head. “A-Alright,” Akino stuttered, “This place is huge.” Akino eyed the light grey sidewalk that heads straight to the red brick apartment. “I got it cause it was close to work,” Kai tried shrugging it off, “You coming?” Kai called off as he noticed Akino stayed behind. “Yeah!” Akino snapped out of it and followed him.

  Kai turns the silver knob and fully opened the door, letting Akino in. The apartment was white title and colourless walls; it almost looked like no one lived there. “Make yourself feel at home,” Kai threw his keys onto the oak counter top and went into another room. Akino looked down and moved his hands into his pockets and looked back at the direction Kai left. After a few minutes, Akino looked at the white coffee table, noticing a silver frame picture. It was of young Kai with his hair shoulder length, hugging an older woman while smiling; Akino felt a bit flustered. “Gonna shower?” Kai asked as he came back holding some clothes, “Sorry, they might fit you big. We can pick up some of your clothes tomorrow, if you like.” “Thank you.” Akino grabbed the clothes and hugged them close to his chest. “The bathroom is in the hall, second door to the right. I’ll be fixing up the guest room,” Kai smiled.

  Akino nodded and followed the way. He opened the door, put the clean clothes and phone by the sink, and turned on the shower faucet. He takes off the jacket, throws it on the floor and pulls his shorts off. In an instance, Akino felt strange.

  Dirty. Filthy. Whore.

  Everything that happened rushed back into his head. Akino grabbed a white towel and wrapped it around his whole body. He slowly creaked the door open and tip-toes out, follo
wing the noise he heard coming from a different room. He peeked in and noticed Kai assembling the air mattress. “Kai,” Akino hesitated. “Aki, that was fast,” Kai replied, still not facing Akino, “How was it?” Akino stayed quiet.

  “Aki?” Kai questioned as he turned around, “What happened?” “I couldn’t. With everything that happened today, I just… Couldn’t be alone,” Akino walked towards Kai, “Join me.” “What?” Kai managed to ask under his breath as he stared into Akino’s hazel eyes. “If you can be in that room, somehow. Maybe face the other way or something…” Akino’s face turned hot. “S-Sure,” Kai got up, “After you.”

  “Not something you say to someone in a towel,” Akino mumbled.

  “What?”

  “Nothing, I said nothing.”

  They both entered the bathroom. “I won’t open my eyes, nor turn back to see you,” Kai reassured Akino as he faces the door, “I promise; I’ll be right here, so take your time.” Akino dropped the towel, and the sound of the towel dropping made Kai’s shoulders shake. “You okay?” Akino asked as entered the shower. “Yeah,” Kai’s ears turned red, “Not used to anyone using my shower, is all.” Akino grabbed the shampoo bottle, pumped it a few times, and rubbed it in his hair. He then grabbed the lavender bar soap. “So, the lady in the picture,” Akino waited for a response.

  “What about her?”

  “She’s beautiful.”

  “Yeah,” Kai replied after an awkward silence.

  Akino’s lip twitch and accidentally dropped the soap; he quickly picked it up, hoping Kai didn’t notice. “You okay?” Kai asked, somewhat loud. “Yeah,” Akino quickly answered and stared at Kai, checking if he turned around, “I’m fine.” Akino’s skin felt hot as he began washing his body with the soap bar. Was it because he knew it was the same soap bar Kai uses? Akino shook his head, trying to get the image out of his head; pumped conditioner and rubbed it in his hair. Smells sweet; he smiles a bit and rinses his hair.

  Akino turns off the water and puts on the same towel back on. He walks out of the shower, dries himself off, and puts on the oversized shirt and slipped into the PJ bottoms. “Alright, I’m done,” Akino announced. Kai turned around and smiled, “Great.” “Great,” Akino mumbled as he slightly blushed; he stuffs his phone into his pocket and grabs his dirty clothes. Kai opens the restroom door and heads to the hallway.

  “The guest bedroom is further down the hall to the left. Mine is across the restroom, if you need anything.

  “Wait,” Akino protested, holding onto Kai’s arm with his free hand; Kai lifts an eyebrow. “Is it possible if I could sleep in your bed tonight?” Kai looks at Akino from head to toe, knowing how cute he looks. “Alright,” Kai looked away, “I’m just gonna grab some clothes and shower real quick.” Kai opened his closet and pulled off a shirt; he went to his drawer and grabbed some boxers and shorts. He then excused himself out and closed his bedroom’s door behind him.

  Akino places his dirty clothes on the floor near the hamper; he stood still, unsure if he’s allowed to touch anything. The only thing that looked out of place, was the enormous dark oak framed bed; too big for just one person. Akino walks up to the bed and touches the dark blue quilts. Maybe he would bring lots of girls here. Akino tries to push that thought out of his mind as he places his phone on the white nightstand; he undid the covers and laid on his bed, resting his head on a single pillow. Akino tried thinking of something else, but the thought of Kai pleasing someone keeps rushing to his head. Akino places his hand on his chest, then moved it slowly to his side.

  Akino can imagine Kai kneeling on the edge of the bed wearing nothing but just a towel wrapped tightly around his waist; water dripping down his soft skin. “Aki,” Akino can imagine Kai whispering, “My lovely Aki.” Kai crawled closer to Akino, staring at him. Akino ran his right hand to his pelvis, but stops as soon as he remembers what happened to him earlier today.

  “Aki,” Kai whispered, as he planted small kisses down Akino’s neck. “Ah,” Akino whisper under his hot breath. “Show me,” Kai begged in a low voice as Akino lifts his shirt up; Kai runs his wet fingers down to Akino’s lower stomach. Akino lowers his PJ’s mid-thigh; Kai carelessly gripped Akino’s shaft, moving it slowly up and down.

  “Say my name,” Kai begged once more; he stuck out his tongue and slapped Akino’s dick against it.

  “Kai,” Akino quivered.

  “Again.” Kai licks Akino’s dick from base to tip.

  “Kai,” Akino responded a bit louder.

  “Come,” Kai whispers, lustfully, “Come for Daddy.”

  Akino bit his bottom lip and arched his back. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Akino gasps, realizing he’s about 5 seconds away from Kai seeing him play with himself on his bed. Akino lowers his shirt back down, pulls up his PJs and covers himself with the quilt. “Go ahead,” Akino said, trying to catch his breath. Kai walked in with his dirty clothes in his hands and places them in the hamper. “You’re okay? Your face is red,” Kai questions as he stares at Akino.

  “Yeah,” Akino quickly replied as he turned over and faced the night stand. “Alright,” Kai sang as he grabbed a grey ponytail holder from one of his drawers. He then began braiding his hair back and sat on the edge of his bed. “Just going to put the alarm,” Kai said as he held his phone and quickly put it in the charging dock. "Hey, you need a charger, right?" Kai asked, "What phone do you have?" Oh, I totally forgot. "iPear 8," Akino replies and turns around and looks at him; Kai looks in his drawer and pulls out an old, beaten up cord. "I actually own the number 7, so I'm not sure if this would work, also... it's a bit old," Kai hands Akino the cord, somewhat embarrassed. "Thank you," Akino replied as he grabbed the charger. He connects it to the wall outlet. He then grabs his phone and plugs it in, though it doesn't charge. He twists the cord around his phone in a few different directions and then it finally starts charging. Akino carefully puts his phone down and lays back in bed, facing the wall. "We can get you a new one tomorrow. In fact, we should get your stuff as well," Kai laid on the bed, turned over and faced Akino’s back. “Night Aki,” Kai whispers as he pets Akino’s head. Kai grabbed his side of the quilt and turned over the other way.

  Kai wakes up to the sound of small whimpers. “Aki?” Kai squints, trying to open his eyes; Akino’s breath became short yet harsh. “Aki,” Kai said once again, now facing Akino’s back, “Wake up.” Kai began shaking Akino’s shoulders somewhat rough. Akino gasps loudly, swallows hard and began panicking. “It was just a dream,” Kai reassures Akino, rubbing his back, trying to calm him down; Akino covers his eyes with both hands and began crying. “Aki,” Kai whispers, hugging Akino with his left arm, “I’m sorry. I don’t know what to do to help. If I can distract you for a bit… then, don’t think about anything else, okay?” Akino nodded.

  “Good,” Kai responses as he rests his head on Akino’s back. Akino entwines his hands with Kai’s and closes his eyes.

  Smells like strawberries.

  Chapter 2: Beer

  The alarm went off. Kai grunts as he reaches his hand out and turns it off. “Time to get up,” he yawns. Kai looks around and notices Akino is missing. Maybe he went home. Probably for the best. Suddenly, the fire alarm went off. Kai jumps out of bed, and rushes out the room. He checks every room and notices Akino in the kitchen.

  “Sorry, I didn’t mean for that to happen!” Akino panics as he locks eyes with him.

  “Are you alright?”

  “Yeah, I’m sorry. I picked up the heat way too high.” Akino looks down. Kai scanned him, then the rest of the room; he sighed in relief when he saw everything was okay. “What?” Akino questioned as he told of the olive-green apron. “Nothing, just checking,” Kai replied without skipping a beat.

  “I can’t cook well,” Akino admits as he serves Kai his food, “But I hope I can get some more practice in the future.” Akino puts the plate and silverware on the glass dining table, then serves himself as well. “Hopefully, this would do for now,” Akino adds, tryi
ng to convince himself. Kai pulls the chair out and sits down in front of his play. “Thank you for the food,” he sang as he clapped his hands together, taking a huge bite. Akino places his food and silverware next to Kai’s and sits down.

  “Ack!” Akino coughs as he tastes the food, “This is so awful! Don’t eat it!” Akino slams Kai’s hand down. Kai softly laughs, “It tastes fine to me.”

  “I’m going to get you sick.”

  “What’s the worst that can happen? Not be able to for a week? You don’t want me to stay here with you?”

  “I-” Akino stuttered, making Kai chuckle.

  Kai retrieves his hand and begins eating, trying not to make a sound; Kai’s phone went off in his bedroom. “Sorry, I need to take this,” Kai excuses himself; Akino nods. Akino stares at Kai’s ass as he walks away; Akino quickly looks away and stares down at his plate. God, I can’t believe I made this crap, Akino thought as he got up from his chair, went to the rubbish, and throws his food in and puts the plate and silverware in the sink. I should throw his away as well.

  “Aki, what are you doing?” Kai whispers behind Akino; Akino gasps. “Don’t do that!” Akino yells as he turns around. “Sorry,” Kai sang as he smiled, “I have to pull a double shift. Which is good, cause I can get to the tape earlier. “Yeah, thank you,” Akino scratched the back of his head, “Just make sure to-” “Not see it, I know.” “Alright. Thanks again. “Anything for you,” Kai smiles, “Oh, give me your phone number?” “Sure,” Akino happily replied; they switch phones, put their phone numbers in and switched back. “Great, now I can get going,” Kai said as he puts his phone by his plump lips, “Maybe we can watch a movie later?” Akino nods, not trusting his voice. Kai walks back into his room, grabs a brown leather bag, says bye, grabs his keys, and walks out.

  He can’t be straight, can he? Asking for my number while making a stupid face. And what was that about watching a movie? What if he wants to… do it? Akino whispers to himself and covers his face.
