@^Taehyung^ Hoseok was pleased to see a positive reaction from the other, bringing a slight smile to his lips. “Hm..” he sighed, pausing in thought. “What do you like to do for fun?”
@$Hoseok$ His smile only growing at the other's words Taehyung was quick to nod, leaning forward on his feet as he watched the larger male. Having been curious about the other man especially his likes and dislikes, having been surprised to hear some of them already. "Ask me anything you like!".
@^Taehyung^ "Well, I think you're interesting." he replies, turning to face Taehyung once again. "It would be nice if I could know you better. I have plenty of questions, and I'm sure you do to."
@$Hoseok$ Shaking his head the smaller offered the male a gentle smile, tilting his head to one side as he continued eyeing the other. In fact he had been enjoying their conversation not having had the chance to relax for some time, not to mention the lack of pressure to do anything else. "You needn't apologize you certainly aren't boring me- I know I'm definitely not an interesting individual".
@^Taehyung^ He just sort of laughs to himself, leaning his head back against the cupboard. "I don't usually come here to make small talk, so I apologize if I'm boring you."
@$Hoseok$ his own lips the slave couldn't help but squirm when hearing the larger males response, wondering if it was a bad thing that he was hardly the most talkative of the slaves or even es. His eyes widening as he continued to talk the smaller could feel the blush rising upon his cheeks, quick to play with his own sleeves as he spoke about his preferences. "O-oh... that would be very noisy"
@^Taehyung^ Hoseok sort of chuckled, grinning at the other's choice of words. It wasn't too often the brothel was either of those things, let alone the people. "Mm I'm not a fan of silence." he started, looking over at Taehyung, "I like making the quiet ones scream." He let his gaze linger for a moment, soon turning to look up at the ceiling. "And making messes is just too much fun~."
@$Hoseok$ Nodding in agreement Taehyung soon sighed as he contently leant back against the kitchen counter, glad he had finished cleaning everything as it was a silent fear he punished for the mess. Soon enough tilting his head to one side as he watched the other man, finding his mannerisms rather unique especially how he spoke. "It does... I quite like things when they're quiet and calm".
@^Taehyung^ Hoseok simply continues to put the clean dishes away, only glancing over when he felt eyes on him. He gave a nod, and shut the cupboard once placing the last dish away. He turned back around to lean back on the counter, crossing his arms over his chest and looking across the room to the clock. "Mm.. time moves so slow like this."
@$Hoseok$ The slaves smile softened even further as the larger male helped him place the dishes away, sighing in content as the smaller tipped his head to one side. Humming under his breath Taehyung soon turned and peeked upwards at the elder, fondly watching him as he smoothed down his sweater and tugged down his sleeves. "Thank you...".
@^Taehyung^ Hoseok's stature relaxed as time went on, and only felt more inclined to stay. He stood when he noticed Taehyung having a hard time putting away the dishes, so he walked over to help. He carefully took the cup out of Tae's hand, reaching up himself to properly slide it into the cupboard.
@$Hoseok$ Feeling utterly shy around the larger male, the simple comment practically had the slaves cheeks on fire. A squirm his only indication that he had heard the man, otherwise focused on washing the dishes. Soon enough he was finished, standing on the tips of his toes to put them away.
@^Taehyung^ He blinked when Taehyung responded like he did, his own faint blush on his cheeks now. He smiled and chuckled as he watched Taehyung go wash the dishes. “..cute.”
@$Hoseok$ Still not truly understanding the mass of what the other was saying and implying the slim slave merely hummed and nuzzled into the warm palm, encouraging the little to his cheek as he'd always been an affectionate young boy. Soon enough letting out a tiny gasp as he remembered their empty cups, scurrying to wash and put them away.
@^Taehyung^ He sighed out, placing his hand back onto Taehyung’s cheek. “Yes; I’ll take care of the situation.” He stared down at the younger male. “Mm..” he hummed, now just thinking to himself.
@$Hoseok$ With a small squeaking noise of surprise the smaller male gasped as a gentle hand reached out for him, suddenly pressed into the large chest as a hand raised his chin. Peering upwards at the elder male his lips naturally parted at the swipe, his eyes large with curiosity and pure innocence the notion rather shocking to him. "I-I am?".
@^Taehyung^ Hoseok instinctively reached out to lift Taehyung’s chin, gently pulling him closer. “I’m buying you. Money isn’t an issue.” he reassured vaguely. His thumb raised to swipe across the other’s lower lip, wiping the small wound clean. He pulled his hand away and away the blood. “You’re mine now.”
@$Hoseok$ His head tilting to one side the slave continued gnawing on his own lip, tasting the slight tinge of blood as his worry manifested itself. Eventually his long lashes fluttered to a close his eyes instead locking on the floor as he spoke quietly, hands curled into the sleeves of his sweater. "T-the man who brought me here said I had to work it off... that it was a punishment to my parents".
@^Taehyung^ He felt his chest tightened at seeing the reaction, and a pleased grin spread to his lips. He set his cup down, leaning an elbow on the counter. “I’ll pay the money you owe.”
@$Hoseok$ With his cheeks already aflame the slave was quick to finish off his tea and lock his eyes onto his sock clad feet, unable to comprehend just how shy the simple comment had left him. Even before the brothel he had never been too close to anybody and hadn't been a recipient of such compliments, confusion brimming in his deep eyes as he watched the other. "How?".
@^Taehyung^ Once gaining the other’s approval, Hoseok stated what had been on his mind for a while. “You’re too pretty for a place like this.” He glances at Taehyung’s lips. Hoseok didn’t want to see anyone else’s marks on Tae’s body; except for his own. “You should let me help you.”
@$Hoseok$ Whilst Taehyung usually hated to jump into any conclusions he had ultimately believed that all the customer's would be rude and abusive, the man who had brought him to the brothel having whispered so many threats that the slim male was terrified. But alas so far nobody had outright hurt him, his lashes fluttering as he hid his face behind the mug of his tea. His cheeks already turning pink as he gave the male his hesitant approval, wondering what he wanted to say.
@^Taehyung^ Hoseok was tempted to be inquisitive as well, but refrained due to his anxiety over getting too close. He admired Taehyung’s innocence, and was easily drawn closer. So he picked and chose his responses carefully. He decided to pester Taehyung more, “Can I give you a compliment?”
@$Hoseok$ His eyes widening at the length of time the slave merely nodded in confirmation of the answer, wondering why the other even felt the need to spend so much time at the brothel. But alas he wasn't the type to be overly nosy and he didn't want to anger the larger male, soon nodding along to his question. "I've been here for a week.. it hasn't been long at all".
@^Taehyung^ “Mm..” he hums, leaning back a bit. He purses his lips slightly, looking up in thought. “A few months?” He looks back at Taehyung, “I assume you haven’t been here long.”
@$Hoseok$ Unsure if the customer would find him rude for asking any questions the slim slave at first kept quiet, legs swinging as he took tiny sips of his own tea. His baggy sweater keeping him nice and warm as the nights were certainly getting chillier, his small shivers apparent of such a thing. "H-how long have you been coming here?". Unable to contain his curiosity the smaller nibbled on his lower lip whilst speaking, working the plump flesh between his teeth.
@^Taehyung^ "Mm.. It's sweet." he hummed. He could feel the eyes on him, and of course looked to see. Hoseok let his eyes lock with the younger, a faint grin on his lips in reaction. He took another sip of his drink, this time keeping his own gaze train onto Taehyung.
@$Hoseok$ Admittedly Taehyung had made no effort to explore the brothel or to familiarize himself with the regular customers. In fact he had spent the past week hiding in both the garden and kitchen, trying to convince himself that nothing bad was going to happen. After all the man who had dragged him to the brothel had been quite descriptive regarding how he would be treated. His eyes locked on the older male Taehyung soon smiled as he complimented the tea, sipping at his own. "Thank you... I'm glad you like it".
@^Taehyung^ Though it wasn't how Hoseok had intended to spend his evening, he was rather enjoying his time. It had been too long since he had last been able to sit down and relax- even if it did mean spending that time in a brothel. It was still nice. He picked up the cup of tea and brought it to his lips, taking a small sip before setting it back down. "It's good. I like it."
@$Hoseok$ The simple act of preparing some tea for the older male was enough to bring Taehyung some comfort- recalling when he had done the same thing for friends and family. Eventually he began a delicate humming whilst he busied himself about the kitchen, ensuring the tea would be perfect as he certainly didn't want to let the male down. "I hope you enjoy". Offering a light smile the slim slave placed the cup in front of the other, holding his own to warm his hands.
I think Joshua has to leave. I've been too preoccupied with school and I'm in a too horrible mindset to be rping. I'll probably be back someday and will hopefully, actually be active at that point. Good luck and best wishes to everyone!
