Time really stopped at that moment for Kian. He wasn't expecting this, he didn't know how to react. He was flustered as the man kissed him.
Arsen's lips curled up on the side, smirking before separating. "I believe that would answer your question, young one" he gets up from his seat and sets the money down before walking off into the crowd on the dance floor.
Kian was still in a daze, not fully processing it. He turns to where the male disappeared off to.
He had to admit, he was disappointed the male left him hanging. He didn't even get his number. He sighed at the thought and looked back at his phone reading the text of his brother.
~~
a week has passed since that day and Kian founds himself back in that place.
He drank until he was drunk, his head already on the counter with 10 empty glasses in front of him as he had quickly drank them while muttering a few things angrily. Eventually, his eyes finally gave up and he fell asleep right there and then.
His brother was texting him again and again though Kian had turned his phone off.
The bartender had reminded Kian earlier to take it easy. He should've known it never worked. Why bother.
The bartender sighs as he dried the glass he'd just washed, not knowing what to do. He figured someone would probably call Kian and he'd have to answer, tell the person to come and bring him home.
Kian would hum from time to time and mutter some things while passed out. He didn't even notice that the male from before had sat right beside him.
The bartender looked at the two as Arsen picks up the younger adult, he was hesitant to let the older take him.
"I'll take him" Arsen tells the bartender who had no choice but to bow as he saw him off.
Kian was not heavy at all and he didn't budge when the male picked him up. As they got into the older male's car, Kian had his head rested on the other's shoulder and Arsen didn't mind.
Kian somehow felt a sense of warm and comfort when he was held by the male, he somewhat felt safe, or maybe that was just the effect of the alcohol.
Arriving at his place, Arsen took the male's jacket off and set the younger down on his bed. Looking at him now, he was actually rather thin. It wasn't obvious with the layers of clothes he wore but now you can clearly see.
A few hours passed and soon the sun came up. The next day, Kian felt the consequences of his actions. His head was throbbing in pain and he felt nauseous. He slowly opened his eyes and once coming to it, he looked around to see an unfamiliar place. He looked down to find that he was only on his boxers. He felt a sense of panic overcome him for a while before calming down and thinking of a calm way to deal with this. He was so confused as he tried to remember the events of last night but nothing came up. The last thing he remembered was that he was in a bar drinking.
He turned to look beside him, almost jumping out of the bed to see Arsen, he freaked out and a sense of panic was plastered on his face, did something happen last night?!
"Stop looking at me like I'm some monster"
Kian immediately flinched when he heard him speak. He quickly got up and took the mattress to instinctively cover himself up,
"Are you a woman?" Arsen let out a chuckle, his deep voice resonating around the room as he sat up.
"Y-you! What did you do to me?!" He asked in panic especially since he felt his whole body was soar, he didn't know that it was just soar from the alcohol. His mind itself was still processing the fact that he was unconscious the whole night and somehow the male before him took him to this room and slept with him with only their underwear on. "Please tell me I'm wrong" He mutters to himself though the male could hear it. He was embarrassed for passing out and even more for the things he didn't know he might've done.
"I didn't do anything. I could've but I don't do anything without permission. You were too passed out to even drunkenly mutter anything so if you had decided to sue I have no excuse." Arsen flips his hair back.
"…" Kian simply looks at him for a moment. 'he's thought that far?'
Kian clicked his tongue in annoyance and he soon managed to calm down. He placed the mattress down as the male made it clear that nothing happened "good" He laid back down on the bed and leaned on a pillow.
"Did you want to do it?" Arsen looks at him with a teasing smirk.
"Pfft- as if" Kian rolls his eyes.
Arsen raises an eyebrow "don't act so cocky. I didn't say I wanted to either. I have my taste and you're too thin, it'll hurt to do."
Kian didn't respond to that. Instead, he looked around and noticed he couldn't find his phone "where's my phone?" He asked with a serious voice as he looked around the bed.
"I threw it away. It was so noisy"
Kun scrunched his eyebrows at the male. He didn't buy it one bit. Seeing this, Arsen gave in, taking it from the bedside table and handing it to him.
Kian hurriedly takes it, quickly checking his notifications, seeing many miscalls and texts from his brother. He goes to text him that he just woke up and that he was in a friends house, safe.
As he did so, Arsen left the room and soon came back with a glass of water, handing it over to Kian.
"Hm? how will I know if that water is safe? That you didn't put any drug in it?" He asked cautiously.
He noticed the contact of the male on a piece of paper behind his phone and he just scoffed but kept it there in the case.
"Why would I drug you? You're not an important person. What will I get out of drugging a poor college student?" Arsen spoke, continuing to stay unfazed.
Kian was still hesitant but still grabbed it and took a sip.
As he did, his eyes trail over to the male in front of him, he had a view of the male's fit body. He was masculine, with perfectly defined abs and just the right muscle in his biceps. Kian hadn't noticed that he was blushing, hence the smirk on Arsen's face.
"When you're done, wash up. I'll have someone take you home." Arsen left the room to pick up a call.
Kian's brother had responded and asked where he was. He just said his friend's house. "I'll send my driver to pick you up and buy you things for the hangover, send me the address" his brother texts him. Kian sighs. He heard the male enter, looking up, he spoke, "someone will pick me up. Can I send them the address?"
"Alright. Is it your boyfriend? I must say he's quite possessive" Arsen comments and Kian shakes his head, chuckling. "I don't have a boyfriend" he gets off the bed and puts his clothes on from yesterday.
His brother quickly called for the driver and texted him back "he'll be there in 30 minutes or so"
Kian thanked his brother then closed his phone his phone, looking at the male. "Are you just going to watch me?"
Arsen scoffs "what? I can't do that?"
Kian rolls his eyes, buttoning the last of his buttons. "It'll take 30 minutes."
Arsen only hums and continues to look at him, "you know you're quite good looking. You're more on the feminine side. Just gain a little bit of weight and you'd look-"
"Can you stop?" Kian spoke, scoffing "I didn't ask you to evaluate my appearance. I don't care about my appearance"
Arsen looks at him "I'm just saying, if you want to improve yourself-"
"Look, not everyone has the luxury to care about how they look. People like me have others things to worry about. Okay?"
Arsen let's out a sigh "Do you want to have that luxury?"
Kian chuckles "who wouldn't? Isn't that why everyone's working hard?"
Arsen nods "that's true." He looks at him. "You know I'm interested in you right?"
"No."
"Well, now you know"
"Not that. I know you are, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten out of your way to bring me here. You're offering to give me money in exchange for my body right? My answer is no"
"Hm?" Arsen chuckles "I wasn't offering that. I'm saying work for me in the future"
"I want to be a doctor"
"Then be my doctor? My personal doctor. You're taking chemistry right? You could-"
"I'm sure you can find other people more suitable."
"But it's rare to find someone I can trust" Arsen looks him in the eye and Kian scoffs.
"You're saying you can trust me after just meeting me once?" Kian looks at him confused
"Twice, and yes. I can see you take pride in yourself and you won't do things for money" Arsen smiles and Kian just looks at him with a blank expression.
"…."
"Well, anyways, think about it. Contact me if you've come to a decision" he hands Kian a business card.
