❛ aris

@『 ✮ 』aris bang。 turning around only upon hearing the popping sound of a bottle opening, he raises a brow at the other's comment. jaegyu isn't really good at keeping calm, and the way aris teases him sets gasoline on fire. it's always been like this, and it probably won't change any time soon, either.
"i can tell from the look on your face before and after you've ed me", he mutters in response, eyeing the glass for a few moments.

"oh, i can totally tell you've been wasting your time on someone", he then muses, "someone, and something. how about you make up for it, big boy?"
he tilts his head to the side, making his way over to sit down just next to where the other's standing, leaning his elbow on the counter.

"i came over cause i missed you, yeah", he mutters, glancing at the older one's chest for a moment before lifting a hand to trace down a thin line from where aris' chin is down to where the light robe overlaps to cover his chest, his index curling a little to tug at it in a rather playful manner.
"my assignments are all finished, my cats are fed, i've showered, eaten, my to do list for the day's almost done. what's missing... is your inside of me, your hands around my neck and your marks all over me. oh, and, since i'm feeling a little creative and want to change things up a little every once in a while, a nap in your arms."
as he speaks, he innocently lifts his leg a little to let it rub at the other's crotch.

@『 ✧ 』jaegyu kwang。 unique is an under statement but truth be told, aris has never met anyone like kwang jaegyu.

jaegyu is peculiar, a good peculiar. he's outspoken, real and raw. aris could remember very vividly the first night they met and he could still laugh to himself remembering how he almost costed aris his career when he drunkenly yelled at a bar, trying to stop aris from leaving, something along the lines of "don't go, i haven't yet!"

it was rather an amusing yet risky memory but looking at jaegyu letting himself in, aris just shook his head as he closed the door as the boy droned on. he lifts his head and crosses his arms, "nice to see you too, jae." he replied, before he stalked over to his bar to pour himself a drink. "that's some confidence you have right there. how do you even know they don't satisfy me?" aris says before he tilts the cold glass to sip his drink.

aris and jaegyu have been sharing a bed for a while now ever since the first night they met, sure. jaegyu has always been fun and as a compliment, aris never failed to feel rather completely spent and satisfied every time he'd jaegyu. the boy wasn't exactly like anyone, he's like some perfect match to keep up with aris' desires and well, stamina. "i was preoccupied, as you can already tell, that's why i couldn't answer your messages." he shrugs as he plopped himself back to the couch. "sorry about dinner last night too, i was caught up with work." he apologized about the dinner he promised the boy the night before. aris' has been stressing to produce his next album and that's actually why he called over hyeri...

to relieve stress.

moving his hand to mix his drink on the glass, he tilted his head and looked at the younger male. "what do you want anyway?" he asks, taking the boy's message as a joke. although with jaegyu, suggestive messages like that are not a joke 90% of the time. before the boy could even respond, he cheekily added, "that's how much you missed my ? that much that you came over yourself to get some?"

@『 ✮ 』eunice cho。 the beating of his heart echoed on his ears like a ringing and it drove his anxiety to skyrocket, making his whole body shake in fear and panic. he dry-heaved as he felt arms wrap around his shoulders, enveloping him in warmth. however, he was too distracted to completely feel the affection and worry that came along with the gesture. aris' mind was only focused on the nightmare that happened rather vividly in his slumber.

and what followed was his tears dropping unconsciously as he panted from the incredible exertion of emotions deep within him. slowly, her voice began replacing the ringing on his ears, and he looked up to see a worried expression painted across eunice's angelic features. aris' slowly remembered where he was and who slept beside him before the chaos that was his nightmare.

"you're safe now." how he wish he could believe her words.

god knows how much he wants to believe such words from the people who cared for him.

swallowing, letting himself calm down, aris moved away from eunice's arms and sat on the edge of the bed, placing his head in between his hands. he took a moment to restore his composure, flustered that eunice saw his breakdown at this ungodly hour. "i'm sorry," his voice was rather weak and silent. "you didn't have to see that," aris felt rather distant. how could he show this weakness pathetically like this.

standing up from the bed, he turned to face eunice, unable to find the words to say. he stared at her face for a moment, his eyes void of any emotion. aris' chest heaves up and down rather dramatically. "that wasn't something i wanted you to see," he paused, trying to find the right words but he was left rather empty, and so he left the air hanging, looking at eunice to watch her reaction carefully.

@『 ✮ 』aris bang。 throughout the night eunice would find herself falling asleep and waking up at the most inordinate times, yet it wasn't normally like her to be such a light sleeper. she's woken up again at the slightest movement, withholding the sigh that wanted so desperately to spill from her lips. there wasn't much a luxury of wondering why sleep doesn't evoke her because concern overtook her waking moments upon sparing a glance at the troubled presence beside her.

even under this dim lighting, eunice could tell from his twisted expression that he was having a nightmare. it pained her to see aris like this, he was always the person who reached his hand out to her when her own thoughts troubled her – even when she knew he was battling through scars of his own. he never told her, but she knew as much. eunice sits up and turns the bedside lamp on, allowing for some light to gather in the room.

just as she was about to reach out and wake him herself, he had shot up awake. "aris!" eunice calls out, sitting up and moving close to his shaken form. wrapping her arms around him in an attempt to console him, she starts to gently rub his back.

"it's okay, you're safe. take a deep breath," eunice mutters softly, she didn't know why she was telling him that he was safe. maybe because to her it felt like aris was always running away from his own pains, such words of reassurance felt right. "you're safe now."

still, a part of her stings with the feeling of indignation. she wanted aris to confide in her as much she had confided in him – and she wonders if he will be honest with her when she asks.

@『 ✮ 』aris bang。 'annoyance, nothing but annoyance', jaegyu thinks as he fumbles with the cashmere of his couch's covers, 'nothing but annoyance i feel towards this guy'.
truth be told, it wasn't right or fair to be this mad at aris, but jaegyu couldn't care less in that moment - oh, he could get very, very draining when he doesn't get what he wants.

his eyes are seemingly glued to the display of his phone. " can't even shoot a quick reply, huh?", he mutters as he reaches out to pet vuitton's back gracefully, earning a content little meow and some purrs. despite jaegyu feeling upset over the fact that there had been no reaction from aris to his very... suggestive text for nearly two hours now, his cats are surprisingly calm around him. rolling onto his back and pulling vuitton onto his stomach, he lets his hand brush over his soft fur, the vibrations of his purring soothing him a little. but seriously, jaegyu wants aris, and he wants him now.

so after a good more 10 minutes of waiting, he lifts the cat and places him onto the floor, then he gets up, dressed in a plain white shirt, some black shorts and a cropped cardigan, and walks out of his apartment - if aris didn't reply, he'd just come over and knock at his door. that's fine with him. all he knows is that he wants to see him - and in jaegyu's world that means that he /is/ going to see him.

on his way to mentioned man's apartment, jaegyu notices a woman he doesn't recognize - quickly, something clicks in his brain. how dare he call over someone else when he's just a few floors away?
arriving at the door, jaegyu's quick to knock at the door. he's usually quite good at covering up his sulkiness, however right now, he just feels betrayed - especially with that look the other's giving him. before saying anything, his gaze wanders down his body. then, he pulls out his phone and as he wants to show him the message he'd sent to him, he notices that it's marked as read by now.

"uh, isn't that obvious?" and before you know it, he allows himself in, his gaze ghosting over his frame again. "been working out?", he asks as if he's clueless; then he falls silent for a few moments.
"when will you learn that you can as many es as you want, only i will really satisfy you? what a waste of energy."

@『 ✧ 』jaegyu kwang。 the sweat trickled down his neck, down his back as he grunts against the skin of the female. his pants echoed and bounced against the walls of his rooms and he bites down on his lower lip as he reels in the release of his pent up frustrations since the beginning of the week. the up and down of his chest signified his satisfaction as he rolled off of the female who, of course, signed an nda about their tryst. "thank you," he breathes as he lifts an arm to cover his eyes, calming himself after multiple rounds of .

it's become his coping mechanism to release his stress through such activities that can keep his mind occupied. aris isn't one to really get attached, thus, it made it easier for him to maintain such transactional relationships that do not complicate his career.

sitting up on his bed, he bid goodbye to the female as she made her way out of the apartment, already familiar with the turns and crooks of the place like the back of her hand. messing with his hair, aris moved away from the blankets in his full glory. bending down to pick up his velvet robe, he wrapped himself in the soft material of the robe before stalking over to his living room, picking up his phone from where he discarded it when she came.

just as he was reading through the messages he missed in the three hours he spent with her, a message came all of a sudden that made his eyebrow rise and a smirk painted on his lips.

from: little kid.
i miss your :<

scoffing at the vulgar message, he shook his head at the kid and prepared to answer the text. however, he was interrupted at the urgent knocking on his door. making a face of confusion, he stared at the door for a moment; thinking if he was expecting anyone in particular. - none. tilting his head, he scratches his nape, stalking off to open the door. and to his surprise, jaegyu stood there with the biggest pout on his lips. "what are you even doing here?" aris asks, a confused expression on his face.

@『 ✮ 』eunice cho。 the dim lights began flickering on and off, and his skin trickled in goosebumps. fear began sinking in his bloodstream and his eyes looked around helplessly before it settled on the door shut closed a few steps away from him. his legs shook helplessly as he attempted to get up from the seemingly familiar couch. he shook from head to toe as the place began getting a lot more vividly familiar to his eyes.

just as he began slowly making his way to the door, the heavy steps began echoing and the creak of the boards of the stairs made his eyes widen in realization. he was back in the god forsaken house in australia, and he wanted to run towards the door desperately but his feet won't let him run. instead, he drops to his knees and began crawling towards the door, screaming and sobbing. "no! please don't!" he rasped but the voice that came out wasn't his voice. it was a voice of a child. "don't kill me please!"

just as he grasped the door knob of the lock door, the familiar voice of his step father rang right behind his head, "you piece of " and that's the last thing he heard before his sight was obstructed by a black piece of plastic, choking him.

"NO!" he screamed in broken sobs as he opened his eyes, feeling his body heated up and sweating. aris let himself glance around the room, pushing himself in a crouching position, wrapping his arms around himself, oblivious on the presence beside him.

it was yet another night where he is haunted by the past that never seem to leave him alone.

/ i hope you find this alright! i tried my best to not get overboard. lmao uwu /
