[Open for business | Leo and Aydin | Back for more]

[fluctuationfeels]

[Same place as always. It was getting more and more familiar now as the weeks turned into months. Leo and Aydin were becoming part of the block. They were familiar faces now, instead of fresh and new. Familiar, but still beautiful.]

Comments

[remnantremnants]

Boys boys boys boys boys! [The man said gleefully as he approached the wall where Aydin and Leo were leaning and smoking. He looked utterly out of place there, as if he had wondered out of the wine club or the opera.]

You are a sight for sore eyes, let me tell you. It's as if you're brilliance is taking every bit of grey out of this city. Truly! [He clapped his hands together, grinning at the pair of them.]

[asilaparapet]

[As the man spoke Aydin blinked and looked around a little like, maybe he was talking to someone else] are you okay Sir?

[maybe he was high or got some really good news, either way he was crazy]

[remnantremnants]

Okay? I am more than okay, sweet boy! My word, you remind me of Freja Beha Erichson. That dark hair and those eyes. Positively divine. [The man reached out his hand to try and gently pet Aydin's cheek but was abruptly slapped away by Leo who proceeded to glare at him with the icy feline stare he always encompassed.]

Pardon me. I do apologize. I'm here to buy so there's no need for that.

[asilaparapet]

[Aydin blushed as the man spoke to him so kindly, he wasn't use to this sort of attention and who was Freja] erm thank you

[he gave Leo a little smile, trying to make him feel better about this guy. He didn't like Leo smacking a potential client, he could get in real trouble one day] you're looking to buy Stud?

[Aydin sounded so nervous but it seemed to work in the past]

[remnantremnants]

Oho! Yes. Yes absolutely. [The man smiled widely, once again looking over both boys as if he had never seen anything so wonderful before. He stopped on Aydin's face, staring an apparent drunken trance before he spoke again.] My my my. Such handsome fellows.

Let's you and I visit a motel together, my dark eyed beauty. Yes?

[For Aydin]

[professional_johns]

[Frank was dressed in tight trousers that accentuated his long skinny legs, and a loose scarf. With his hands in his pockets he eyed the boys both, then Aydin more closely.

[He sauntered close.] You clean?

[asilaparapet]

[Aydin looked at him and nodded] Yeah?

[He gulped and tried to be confident like Leo] are you looking?

[professional_johns]

Yep, yep. Looking. I've got eyes and all that. [He grinned, a wide smile that made him seem like Clopin or some kind of jester for a moment.] You on your feet all day kid? Rough skin? Athlete's foot?

[asilaparapet]

[Aydin gulped and nodded] I'm on them all day. I don't think I've got Athlete's foot.

[he never really looked at his feet that much] erm would you like that?

[professional_johns]

No, no. [Frank laughed briefly.] That's just fine kid. Just fine.

What's your rates? You got a room?

[smokeyjoe]

[Aurthur stalked up to the boys as if he was Lion hunting its prey, he stopped abruptly in front of Leo and smirked] You look nice

[his words sounded cold and sharp as he eyes up the piece of meat] are you free boy?

[1/2]

[fluctuationfeels]

[Leo felt his blood run cold as the man spoke to him. It had been months since they'd arrived in New York, but no amount of time would be enough for him to forget that face. He saw him every day reflected in the scars burnt onto his skin. His first week as a street walker had been scary enough, but this man had pushed it into the stuff of nightmares.]

[2/2]

[fluctuationfeels]

Nothing in life is free. [He said sharply, trying to push through his initial shock and rise up over his fear.] Especially not me.

[smokeyjoe]

[He smirked showing his teeth and growling as he reached out a hand towards the burn on his shoulder] well I know your price don't I

[Arthur tilted his head as he looked over Leo] so Snowflake? are you sure you're not for sale?

[fluctuationfeels]

[Leo felt a wave of terror hit him as the man reached out and touched. He took a deep breath through his nostrils, instinctively tensing up.

Every single nerve in him told him not to go. The last time had frightened him beyond measure and scarred him for life. Then again... Aydin had already had two clients today. Two. What did he have? Nothing at all.]

I... I don't know.

[smokeyjoe]

[He traced his finger along the burn making little circles along his collar bone and up his neck] you don't seem to know anything today pet

[He leant in towards him and licked his lips slowly] come on, let's go to the hotel. I know you want to

[Aurthur grinned and tugged at Leo's shirt]come snowflake

[vacant_icon]

[ After his last run-in with Aydin, he'd been thinking about that boy a lot.

The curve on his lips.
The colour of his eyes.
The sway of his hips.
How good he'd look covered in blood-

However that night he was just there to sample, walking up to Aydin with that sickly sweet smile that was followed by a sickly sweet smell. ]

Hi again!

[asilaparapet]

erm hi [he was trying to place the face, did he have this guy before] again

[vacant_icon]

[ Cameron crossed his arms across his chest, tapping his heel on the sidewalk before he sighed, furrowing his perfect brows at Aydin.]

You helped me find my way home a few months ago. [ He shook his off, waving his perfectly manicured hand at Aydin. ]

Anyway, I want to know if you're available right now. You're my size and I need your help with something.

[asilaparapet]

[Aydin nodded and smiled at him] I did.. sorry I'm not good with faces

[he chuckled and watched his hand move around] Yeah, I can do that

[Though how would he charge for this?] it's going to be $40?

[vacant_icon]

[ Cameron shrugged, digging in his purse to pull out two twenty dollar notes for Aydin, sort of waving them at the boy. ]

Here, now come on! I need a new outfit by tonight. Because like hell I can turn up to a club wearing something I've already worn!

[mrdmiller]

[ It had taken some time and courage, but eventually, Douglas found himself on Leo's road again.

He paced himself round the corner for a good five minutes, practising his words, tripping over the right ones and wrong ones before he just gave up, walking around the corner.

He was stopped in his tracks by how perfect Leo looked in that split light of the dying day.

He kept his steps steady as his mind fell over itself. ]

Hello again Leo. It's been a while, hasn't it?

[fluctuationfeels]

[The last person he had been expecting to see was Douglas. After their first time together, Leo thought that maybe he'd been too forward and scared the nervous man off. The second time they had met the man had only looked at him and given him the lightest exploration touches. It was hardly worth the hundred dollars Douglas had given him.

He remembered him well of course, it was hard to forget such encounters they were so few and far between. A spark of friendly recognition crossed his expression as he gave the man a friendly smile.]

Hey there. Yeah, really. It's been like another month. Are you... Doing okay? [He sincerely hoped the answer was yes.]

[mrdmiller]

[ The passage of time did nothing for his nerves but light a fire under them and make them dance to the rhythm of his heart, seeming to double in time as he stood in front of Leo.

He attempted to pull all his thoughts together, even with them slamming against the sides of his heart and rattling his worn out ribs. ]

A month exactly. Seem's we have a bit of a habit forming now don't we!

[ He gave the boy a light smile, nodding slowly before he turned and motioned out with his hand. ] I am, but are you free right now?

[fluctuationfeels]

Now? [Leo looked around him, but there was no sign of Aydin returning any time soon. So far his day had been slow. He would be grateful of an easy time and Douglas had been exactly that so far. He was genuinely relieved to hear the man was okay, too. Knowing you're dying couldn't have been easy.]

Yeah, actually I am. [He offered another smile.] You got your car?
