Because it was Sunday, there were not that many inside their work building. Free went in with his pass from the sidedoors which were generally used only by employees. When recognizing the young man, a lady behind the main front desk greets him by waving her hand.
"Hi, kid," one of the guys from the fourth floor greets him when they pass each other on the hallway to the elevators. "Are you alone? Where is Palboss?" That was one of the many names people here like to call Don. And since Free was usually seen with his famous guardian, people couldn't help but ask about him.
"Today I am," Free answers smiling, keeps walking. After getting in the elevator, he calls the third floor where he would be meeting with Milo.
After spending so much time here in general Free was pretty sure this whole building doesn't have a single person who wouldn't at least recognize the name Don Palenne. Man was a freaking celebrity here. Even if Free himself was usually the one being in the spotlight because of his looks and outgoing personality, there was someone even more popular, for better and worse. When people heard Frees surname, Don Palenne was immediately brought to the discussion.
Sure, some seriously hated that man. Don has warned Free about that before. But after what Free has heard around, from Don himself and from others like Mark and Nadin, he seriously think the bottom reason was simple envy. If not proudly, but at least shamelessly, Don has indeed taken advange of his luck and skills when he got in this building. And after didn't surely even hide it. Didn't try to explain himself. Even after being constantly underestimated, Don didn't give a damn about the others or their opinions. He just did what he want. When he successfully dealed multiple cases some others have refused to take or even abandoned, his skills were commonly acknowledged. He silently pointed out that there was a reason why he was in without the normal roads others need to take to get here. He has unequalled skills. Were better than many others. Did his job well.
And that know-how appearance Don has also attract people who knowingly wanted to work with him. Those who seriously liked him. Maybe not personally, but his leadership abilities and skills were indeed unquestionable. He act like a man of trust. Of course, Free was one of them, his admirer. From the beginning Don has felt as a person with unique and unshakeable aura. Someway similar to Frees, but even stronger. Maybe that was the main reason why Free got influenced by Don so strongly in the first place. He just couldn't ignore the man who wear such a powerful aura.
Of course now Free knows his lover better. His first expression of Don was not wrong from the very truth. But like a top of an iceberg. Young man was now standing at the back of their floor, staring Dons clean and nicely organized desk. Obsessive. Precise. Leaning on to his habits. But when you could see under that all, there were uncontrollable amount of feelings, ready to explode.
Free gives a smile and sits down. To avoid that explosion he intend to work hard, learn more. And in the end become someone who would overpower Dons dangerous mind. And calm it down. For good.
Letting his mind wander, Free suddenly realizes he didn't find anything for Don during his shopping break just now. Not that young man intently searched of anything particular, but he simple didn't see anything Don would even care to have. Being so simple and clean about what he owns, random items were meaningless. Maybe just offering to actually clear that hangover of his and have some messy time together would be the most satisfying thing to have..? Not that it would be any surprise though. And not that it would be totally for Don..
But before he could carry out that plan, Free should concentrate on the plan about his current case. That's why he was here now. His plans were ready. The only thing left was to confirm Milo approve them.
When Milo then finally came in and actually heard what Free has planned, he wasn't so sure about it, but didn't bluntly refuse it either. It was indeed very interesting. Totally different what Milo has usually done. It could work? "Aren't you just taking advange of the fact your suspects are students and you yourself just wanna have some extreme school life experience here?" Milo smirks, totally reading others real thoughts behind the lines. "There is no guarantee you will even get that close with them. More like have a little chat and that's it. Not enough."
"You are the one who wanted a kid talk to kids," Free tsihs, grinning back, not actually hiding his flank motive in his plan. "How else I can approach them other than going right to them? The rest is just a bonus for me."
"Sure. First we need to contact their coach and make a fake agreement suggestion," Milo states out loud. "I have a friend working under Teens magazine. We could do an sport interview. Sides with those idols." Thinking. He has no problem to go with this plan. And he wasn't so heartless toward his underling here he couldn't help kid have his experience of the sweet school life. "Then, should we get a professional to do your makeup?" he asks after making his mind. "We have one in this building. A former make-up artist."
Surprised even hearing such, Free turns his amazed eyes on Milo. "You think I need to wear a makeup..?"
- - -
After getting all done for the day, Free comes back home. As always nowadays, Don has pull out every material of his very case and was reviewing it all. The kitchen table, as well as the table in the living area, looked like Dons office desk; full of papers and notes. Of course in nice order. Man himself was sitting on the couch, talking on the phone. But even in the middle of his call he pays his attention to Free when young man comes in. "Welcome home," Don says, moving the phone a little further from his mouth, looking properly toward Free. He lets his eyes go carefully through Frees changed appearance after noticing young man wearing make-up and very outstanding clothes. Sure, this kid would pass any Idol candidate test just with his looks. After giving a smile Don turns his eyes back on the paper he was holding.
Free couldn't help feeling a little out. He knew very well he shouldn't let his personal glitchs take a hold of himself this easily. But constantly losing his time with Don against working, even inside this apartment, especially when this case was indeed so personal to Don.. It made him lose his calm. No matter how mature he tried to be, sometimes his old habits and arrogant personality came out. Sometimes he could back off. Sometimes not. Now he felt damn pissed off.
"No. Just keep an eye on him. Let me know if there seem to be some changes in his schedules," Don notifys when Free walks next to him. And puts a lubricant and a bag of condoms on the table. Dons whole focus turn immediately on Free, man staring first what the younger brought with him. Then actually eyeing Free who kneels down in front of Don, slowly opening Dons belt while looking back. "I need to go now. Something urgent came out," Don ends his call and lows his hand. "What are you doing all of a sudden?" Smiling. Not exactly upset of this sudden turn. But feeling very confused.
"I'm pissed off," Free annoynces while moving the belt away complitely and throwing it behind him on the floor. "And punishing you."
"How this is a punishment?" Don couldn't believe what he was hearing. He moves his hand and was about to touch Frees head, but the young man slaps it back. That slap hit straight to Dons nerves. But that wasn't anger Don felt. Slowly man lows his hand, sighing out.
"You are not allowed to touch me before I give you permission, okay?" other smiles, opens the chipper and takes Dons front out. Just a touch from Free instantly made Don a little harder.
Don hums. He couldn't think anything particular why Aki would be angry now all of a sudden. He wasn't really angry, was he? But before he could even think about it more, young man takes it all in his mouth and starts to suck, moving his hand too. Watching it from this perspective looked ingredible hot. Aki even turned his look once toward him, making Dons face turn warmer. When Don think about it, this was the second time ever Aki was doing this to him. The first time was when the younger seduced him, the day when this physical relationship started, growing slowly even stronger from that. It was also the first time in Dons life someone actually pushed him down, was knowingly trying to dominate him, control him. That might have been even stronger impulse to drop his guard than the actual physical desire. He surely didn't mind. Aki usually let Don take the lead and do as he pleased. That meant Don was always the one pleasuring him. Making sure his body was relaxed and feeling good. That was the most premier to Don.
It didn't take long to get Don even more harder. After ripping open one of the condom seals, Free takes it in his mouth and places it on using his mouth, sucking it a little more. Then he gets up and slowly removes his new shirt, showing his trained upper body. "Remember, you are not allowed to touch me," Free repeats his words, looking passionately to Dons eyes. "If you do there is no point doing this.."
"I heard you. Can you explain me why? I wonder how you count this as a punishment," Don smiles. He liked this side of Akis behavior, being the dominant one. It felt like Don was giving last of his controls to him. And it was kind of freeing.
Free smirks once. "You can't tell?" he asks back while taking off his jeans, grabs the a lubricant with him and sits on Don, squeezing some lube on his fingers. "You will see. 'Cause right now I'm feeling damn irritated. I really tried clear to myself it's not that big of a deal, since we agreed to never mix the work and personal issues too much.. But I can't stand this.." Young man was spreading the lotion slowly around his behind, taking his time, then taking a hold of his own front, slowly starting to jerk it. Don could only watch this pleasuring sight, actually realizing he really needed to hold back to not move his hands, touch the other. "I noticed something," Free keeps, while sitting on Don he was rubbing his body against Dons front, not even intent to get it in yet. Only fingering himself to relax the area. "I might be quite obsessive myself too. Sometimes I hate it when I have to share you like this.. And since you are making my mind this messy because of something this stupid I want to do the same to you," he leans closer to Dons face, so close their lips almost touch, jerking himself even harder. "I know how to make you angry. As a punishment."
Don thinks he was starting to understand what other meant. Was the young man.. actually feeling jealous of something?
"You know I plan to use this body of mine -," Free whispers to Dons ear, kissing mans neck and touching his front with his other hand, moving it closer to his behind, like taking it in, but doesn't. "- to get closer my goals in the field. To get what I need."
"..."
Dons heart skip the beat. He suddenly felt uneasy. But still so restless. Akis words confused him, but his body started to beg more.
Free moves his face back in front of the olders, looking at him, taking their lips together. Speaking whispering. "But it's all for the job, right? To get the job done." He lets Don get in a little, then slowly moving so he could finally take the rest in, breathing slowly out, right next to Dons ear, letting him hear that broken sigh. "And you were so nice to even buy me those clothes of mine. What I'm going to wear to get their attention." Free moves his body a little, massaging his behind, but not so much Don would move inside him. At the same time he leans behind, jerking himself even stronger. "I let them see me more.."
"..."
"Let them want me more.. Afford them more."
Older guys facial look changes a little, locks on Akis eyes. His heart was beating fast. He wanted to move. Silent that mouth..
"Did you just get even harder?" Free could see Don looking extremely tense. Somehow that made Free feel even more pleasant. Made him want to tease Don even more. So as a reward he moves his body just a little. "Hearing the truth can't possible bother you, right? I'm just doing as you taught me to do. Blend in. Get closer. Learn more. Do my share to get the job done.. I'm doing it all for you. Everything. For you," he whispers, smiling to Don. The more he spoke these nonsenses the more close he went to his climax. And the more Don seem to get distressed. This act was very intensive even Free started to struggle to be able to continue, not break his act. "That look of yours..," he notes quietly, moving now his lower body even more while touching himself. "Is that anger? Are you angry at me if I let others have their share? When I'm just doing as you taught me? Is it something else? What ever it is.." finally Free leans closer to Don, whispering to his ears. "Damn, that's hot..," he bites gently Dons neck. Letting himself come without a stronger movement. Right on Don.
Hell yes. This was a punishment...
While breathing deeply back in and out, leaning on Dons shoulder, Free laughs a little. "I didn't mean to come just yet, but that was.. too much," he sniffs. Raising his look back up, touching Dons face. "I'm not used to fake in front of you like this.." He moves his lips closer. Eyeing how other was looking awfully angry still. Uneasy. Holding. Still behaving so nicely. "You know... I didn't say I would share my body with them like this. Just that I will use my looks, you know. Don't get me wrong. And I'm pretty sure how much you are enduring right now. To not move. Since I ask you not to. How irritate you must be after thinking I would let someone else touch me. Is it the same? The jealousy I'm sometimes feeling? Or do you even feel it like I do? I hate it. Share you. You are mine. You should be only mine.. I finally get you back so why can't I have you when I want..?"
Don doesn't answer. He wanted to move. Desperately. Quiet those words..
"The foreplay is over," younger then finally states out. "You can touch me n-" The moment Free lets him, Don pushs Free to lie on the couch, moving himself just a little deeper in. And letting himself cum. That very moment. Right away.
Don breaths out with a harsh moan, what Free has never ever heard before. Unbelieving, Free moves his eyes to Don who was leaning his face on the youngers chest. Did Don.. just come? And actually moaned? "Did y-" Free was about to ask, but Don puts his hand in front his mouth to stop him speaking. After a small moment, Don straightens his back, looking Free while removing himself and taking the full condom away. He grabs a new one from the table, opening it with his teeth, intently eyeing Free with lusting eyes. "If this is how you start to act when you feel jealous, I will definitely create more situations like this," he speaks with hoarse voice, putting the condom on him. Then he thrusts back in, leaning to kiss the young man, muting his moan.

"Want to take a shower together?" Don asks while letting his right hand fingers move around Frees naked body next to him. He was leaning his head on his left hand, carefully eyeing the light skin area he was touching. They were still lying on the couch.
Free hums back. "Just give me a minute. This freaking make-up hurts my eyes. I can't believe how some people can wear this everyday..," he opens his tired eyes to meet Dons. The same moment he could see Dons right wrist being black and blue colored. And Free raises his hand to take a hold of it. "Does it hurt?" he asks then, realizing his stunt must have cause the swelling and bruises. Even the upper hand seem to got new bruises.
"A little. But it's fine."
"You should be more gentler to your hand. It looks awful.."
"You are the one who seduced me. How I could possible hold on," Don moves his fingers around Frees. "Besides this hand gets bruises now even from simple touch. It's not that big of a deal. They are only light injures. It might take over half a year to heal back as it used to be."
"But it hurts, right?" Free tsihs, hating how unconcerned other seem to be.
Older smiles. "I said it's fine," playing with Frees fingers. "You can hurt me as much as you wish. I can tolerate it. If it's you I don't even mind." Then he stops. Thinks awhile. And speaks again. "Hey, Aki.." Free kept eyeing Don, waiting man to keep on. The look on mans face was suddenly more serious. "You should know. This case of mine is something I started over a year ago. Every now and then I have made progress and now that it's actually on I will take every time necessary to win it. That means I'm making this case my priority." He moves his body a bit higher, properly meeting Frees eyes. "Outside of work, you are my priority. But it's like you said. Don't mix work and private life. I did so once and no doubt you won easily. Don't do that to me."
"Yeah, I get it," Free sighs, feeling a little embarrassed now. "I wasn't angry 'cause you didn't have time for me or anything, don't get me wrong."
"You got jealous because of me working, did you not? Got pissed off because of Sakari Ihan, right?" Don asks with a wide smile. "Did I misunderstand?"
Who was the one feeling moody this very morning?! "It's just that I thought I would definitely cure your hangover when I get back," Free moves his body and hides his face on Dons upper body. "Didn't think you would be working again. Then.. I got pissed off. And thought to take my time with you anyway. That's all."
Don stares Free, then closes his eyes sighing. "Now what is that? You are thinking weird things inside your head again. How cute."
Free lows his head even more. "Shut up.."
"Not that I mind," man kisses Frees shoulder. "You are always so uncontrollable that it's really freshing. Amusing. I like that side of you.. And hate it.." Suddenly Dons phone makes a sound on the other side of the couch. Someone was calling him. Don just stares the phone on his feet, then gets back to touching Frees body.
"Answer it," Free raises his head from the hide, meeting Dons glance.
"I'm not available right now," Don whispers, biting Frees shoulder gently. "Very busy right now.."
- - -
"Sorry. I might have talk too much before. Put you on the spot," Don says to Sakari while smiling apologetically. They were once again sitting at the bar counter at Sakaris regular pub. Since it's been days Don visit the place, confront the man he has bothered earlier was the first thing him to do to get the guilty feel out of his system. "You sure can hold your liqueur, sir."
"You did drink a lot," Sakari laughs back, actually showing this very casual good mood out. He definitely wasn't sorry about their last meeting. "But do not worry. You didn't speak too much. But I must warn you, being too honest in front of wrong people will do harm."
Younger stares Sakari, then turns his eyes away, humming. "It's just that.. my job is stressful enough. And keeping all together gets harder the more I..," Don sighs, doesn't end his words. "May I ask what exactly you do for living?"
"I buy and sell stocks," Sakari answers honestly. "Nothing marvellous."
"Wow. I kind of imagined something different. Don't really know why. So stock broker. Must be peaceful job.."
"It is," older man clarifys and turns to look at Don who was calmly eyeing his own class. "Well I do have this another job of mine."
"Another?" now younger man meets with his eyes while drinking from his glass.
"Like you have your dayjob, you also have those other jobs," Sakari explains. "I have my dayjob and do a little work elsewhere just to... kill time. And do it for passion, of course."
Hearing man made Don instantly a little charged. He even needed to glance their bartender to make sure man was far enough to not hear them. "How much did I actually talk earlier..? I was wasted. Don't take me too seriously when I'm drunk.."
"I told you, nothing too much. But I have a nice idea now. Of what kind of person you really are."
Don doesn't drop his eyes from Sakari. But was visibly growing more confused. What if he did speak too much and this man knew now what he has. He should be alert. That was how Don plan to play now. Make the man think he got him up handed.
"You do not need to give me that look. What ever you said stays between us," man points out calmly, drinking from his drink.
Sighing doubting, Don shakes his head once while finally looking away. "Sure. Can I then hear what is this passion work you do?"
"I kill people for fun."
Dons eyes went wider when he turns to look at the man next to him. He seriously doesn't even need to fake surprised, that was a very bold move from this older man, speak so honestly. When man doesn't say anything but they just stare each other in silence, Don has to act and look around them. Bartender wasn't near. Other customers were far. No one else definitely heard that just now, which was fortunate. "Are you nuts," Don tsihs quietly, giving man very confused look. "You can't speak like that out loud."
"That's what upset you?" man laughs back. "Normally they would be shocked by only hearing something like that. Not by where they hear it. Don't you think? Your reaction is very interesting."
Don realizes his point. Grows even more confused. "No, I..," he stays staring Sakari who was just calmly smiling back to him, waiting others next reaction. But since the situation was so out of his control, Don simple stands up. "I'm sorry. I need.. some air," he walks pass the older man and leaves. When he gets out, he couldn't help this wide smile getting on his lips. He walks forward, holding his head, trying to keep his calm. The mixed feelings in him were slowly waving, him trying to separate that fake excitement from the real one.
This moment here was what he's been waiting for. Now he can start his actual game.
