Welcome to Gaia! ::

Maion listened to the guy as he spoke, wondering if his words held a double meaning... was he trying to hint that he didn't want Maion to get too clingy? If so, Maion could do that.... it wasn't as if he wasn't used to this work by now. Love them and leave them, make them think that you are the centre of their universe and have them begging for more. He had been taught that time and time again; and with time it had become easier... especially since he had never had any real attraction to his 'client' before. With Daisuke... he just needed to remind himself, This is just a business transaction.

"She saved me some boys who were bullying me because I stopped doing their homework.” He smiled softly and nodded as the other revealed details of his past, something that Maion avoided doing... he hated the sympathy he saw in others eyes, he hated the way others saw him a vulnerable target to be stolen for their own games. No, it was easier to stay silent about such matters. "She sounds like a good friend." He said, eating his food and smiling with a slight tilt of his head, his long black hair flowing around him and framing his features. "I am glad Daisuke-san has someone like that."

“Wow…this is amazing." He allowed his eyes to wander to the chef for a moment, "Yes, he is very talented." Was his only comment before returning his attention to Daisuke.

When Daisuke continued to speak Maion couldn't help but chuckle a little, he even leaned over to whisper to the other after they spoke; I can always just work out at the gym later if I get too scarred.”

"Of course... you could always use me for a work out too." Forward was something Maion could be also, and he knew all too well that teasing and building up the excitement were the ways to get what he wanted.... money to survive. Only by being the best did he get a reputation that intrigued even those who hadn't sampled him. Maion knew what he was, a slut, and there were many keen to remind him of that fact... though he didn't always need to sell his body for what he wanted, sometimes his company were enough. How lonely a world he lived in.....

Yet, as Daisuke spoke again he couldn't help but be taken aback. Especially when the guy stood up and left so abruptly. Startled for a moment all Maion could do was stare after the guy.

It took a moment longer for his decision to be made, and once on his feet he followed after Daisuke. He slowed down when the guy came into view, where had the happy and flirtatious guy that had picked him up gone? What had changed? Had Maion somehow said or done something wrong? Confusion kept his thoughts busy even as he followed his heart... a heart he tried to keep hidden while working, a heart that was hurt and damaged with every insult against him.

He hesitated as he approached Diasuke's back, but having no other option he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around the guys torso, resting his head on the guys shoulder. "Don't just walk away from me.... you didn't even wait for an answer." He said softly, his voice no more than a whisper... what was it about this man that called to him? Was it possible this was all a game? Was it possible he was trying to draw Maion closer to him? Too late. He was caught.

Releasing the guy he bowed low, his little imp like wings flapping until they lay flat on his head. "If you wish my company, I will give it to you willingly. For however long you require."

Maion's own actions coupled with Daisuke's words caught him off guard, gone was the gentle flirtations that he relied on like a shield... for a moment all he could do was look up at the other, and blush at the gentle caress. Maybe this really had been a game... a game Maion had fallen for.... hook, line, and sinker....

“And I want you for the whole vacation…I don’t want anyone else to have you but me.”

Maion nodded and bowed slightly, "As you wish." With some clients he would have added the 'master', but with Daisuke he held that back, not completely willing to give that last slice of control over to the guy. This was the first time anyone had wanted Maion beyond a day... and it left him feeling suddenly exposed and unsure; even as his mind whispered that this was a good thing, this was what he had been aiming for. Who could resist a blank cheque for a weeks worth of time? Easy money, probably enough to pay his school fees for the year if not longer.

Allowing the other to take him by the hand he followed, his brow furrowing a little at the Daisuke's words.... Maion was used to receiving gifts and tokens after his time with a client, was even used to being spoilt to expensive food and treats while on a 'date'; but this didn't seem to make sense... unless... did Maion's clothes offend the guy so much? He had thought the other had reacted positively to his skinny legged jeans and tight top.

Everything happened in a flurry of colour and confusion for Maion after that... from the shopping to the order to pack some things.

Inside his room he froze for a moment. What had he just got himself into? His cabin was far from luxurious, as with most staff lodgings. There was a TV, bed, wardrobe, ensuite shower, and a chair next to the window. "Elijah." He called, forcing himself into action so that the other wasn't left waiting. "We are moving for a little while." Talking to Elijah helped him regain his slipping composure, regain the mask of indifference that he always tried to use when his emotions threatened to overwhelm him.

Walking to the wardrobe he pulled out a few of his suits, some more jeans, a few shirts and a jumper. He could always request to come back should he need more... right? He tossed in his toothbrush and other toiletries, his sun glasses, his brush and all of Elijah's things. A small bag in hand he exited to see Daisuke still waiting. "I hope I didn't make you wait too long sexy." He teased, even as his heart felt like it had skipped a beat... what was with this guy? Could he really spend a week trapped in his company without losing himself completely?

Entering the grandest suite on the ship nearly took Maion's breath away. Wow.... this guy was loaded! "Thank you." He said, Elijah scurrying past his legs to make himself at home. His eyes wandered around, as if trying to process everything but before long he dropped his bag and walked towards Daisuke, a purposeful swagger in his every movement. Placing a hand either side of the guys cheeks he smiled softly before leaning up to kiss him. "You have been very generous to me.... I will be sure to return the favour."

Leave them wanting more, he told himself as he returned to his bag and went up the bedroom. A large king size bed greeted him, the thing looked like it was made from clouds. Walking past it he opened up the wardrobe, carefully pushing the guys expensive wardrobe to one side so he could hang up the few of his garments that would get too creased in his bag, the rest he left folded before tucking the bag under the bed. He wasn't really sure what he was expected to do, and ten minutes later he heard Daisuke approach him.

Arms encased him and words surrounded him. He turned in those arms until he was facing the guy, placing both hands upon his chest while he looked into his eyes. "Yes." He said in answer, allowing only a moments pause before reaching up to steal another kiss.

Maion enjoyed physical contact, but still, with this guy it was almost as if he couldn't resist.

Pulling back from the kiss and embrace, he stood before the guy, placing a hand on his hip and he smirked flirtatiously. He needed to take back some control, needed to make this guy lose it. "So.... shall I give you a private viewing of those clothes you just bought for me?" With each word he had slowly began to pull up his tight shirt, revealing small hints of flesh.

As the words; “I would…very much love to watch that.” left Daisuke's lips Maion couldn't help but think Gotcha! Though that thought didn't last long. Once again Daisuke threw him a curve ball, kissing him with a fire few knew before leaving him on the bed wanting more.... scrunching up his fist in the bedding he listened to every word, and the more that was said the more Maion regretted his actions.

Something had changed in the other. Almost as if a second personality had emerged, which Maion supposed probably had. What Maion couldn't figure out... was what had changed? Was it possible Maion had pushed too much or managed to displease the guy in someway? Despite the guys flirtatious words was it possible he simply wanted to flirt and be teased? Fine! He could do that.

“Lets go rest out on the balcony, there you can rub some sun lotion onto me before I put some on you.” Maion nodded softly, "Yes." Was his only reply. Though he paused for a moment letting Daisuke get ahead of him, if things continued this way his reputation would be shattered... why was he having such trouble with one man? A complex man, sure, but a man all the same.

A fresh determination settled in, and as Elijah drifted towards him he couldn't help but pet him swiftly for support before heading to the balcony. So, the guy wanted to relax with him? That shouldn't be too hard. Of course, the moment he caught a glimpse at the guys body he found his eyes drawn to it... it took his sheer will power to pull his eyes away, stepping towards he readied himself for the task ahead. "Just relax." He said softly, smiling up at the guy despite the coldness he saw returned, "I'll take good care of you."

Maion hated this wall of ice that had appeared, and that was why he took his time with the cream, giving a slight massage as he went. "I am sorry." He found himself saying, "If I offended you in someway...." His words were quiet, trailing off into nothingness.... but each had been heartfelt. He still wasn't completely sure what he had done, but clearly he had done something.

Maion was used to clients being cruel and cold to him, but for those who took that approach they usually started out that way... none of this switching, that was what had him so off guard.

Running his hands back up the guys back towards his neck, he leaned in and placed a soft kiss to the back of his neck, lingering for a moment before pulling away. Taking another squeeze of the cream he moved to do Daisuke's legs. Remaining silent. Maion wasn't sure his words would be welcome now, but maybe his tender actions would sooth the beast.

Maion frowned a little as Daisuke spoke; “Its not that you did anything but rather I was being to over bearing I guess you could say.” He shook his head, as if that action alone was enough to refrute the idea. Maion hadn't found the guy overbearing at all, if anything he had been the one doing the pushing.

Slightly reluctantly he took off his shirt, ensuring that he was faced away as he lifted it over his head so the other couldn't see his face. It took a little manovering to get over his head wings but that was something he had long grown used to. He was only thankful they had finally stopped growing.

Returning the kiss Maion allowed his own passion to leak through, a small smile sprawled across his lips. When Daisuke apologised Maion raised a finger to the guys lips and shook his head. "You have done nothing wrong. You may treat me however you see fit.... you will not be a burden on me, and I swear to keep what you tell me a secret." He grinned a little playfully... "Not that anyone would believe me." The reputation of a Hosts would haunt him forever.

Hat? It took a moment for Maion to realise what Daisuke was talking about, and instinct had him flinching backwards a little. "Sorry," He said, raising his hand to touch one of the wings. "I am afraid it is impossible for you to try them on." He smiled with a slight tilt of his head; "I suppose you will find out soon enough anyway..." He said a little defeated before lowering himself to a kneel, using his hands to show Daisuke where the wings grew from his head. However what surprised Maion more was what he said next... "Please, you may do anything to me.... but please, don't pull them." A sadness littered his eyes. In the past they had been pulled, torn and plucked... all things that had caused him great agony.

The surprised kept coming as Maion found himself revealing the most private of his secrets, and to a guy he barely knew... but perhaps that was why he was doing this; after this week it was unlikely they would meet again... and it would be nice to share for once. Yes, this man was dangerous. Maion's kryptonite. "My mother owed a large amount of money, and agreed to rent out her womb for... an experiment." he smiled, as if relatively unaffected by the whole situation, though if the other looked closely at his eyes he would likely see the pain that resided there. "My DNA was merged with a bird while I was in the womb."

He fell silent then. His memory taking him back to a time he would rather forget. Sterile conditions. Doctors. Needles. Bright lights. Conditioning.... now that he knew that there was so much more than that prison he prayed they would continue to allow his freedom.

“Why would I ever harm you." Maion didn't say anything to that, simply shrugged lightly. Daisuke hadn't seemed like the type to hurt him intentionally... yet at least, but the past told him all to well that things could change quickly.

With the compliment Maion found a soft blush covering his face, and as the other reached for his head wing again he didn't flinch. "thank you." He said softly, bring his arms up and around Daisuke's neck. Rubbing his neck softly with his thumb.

Maion wasn't sure why Daisuke had taken to pinching him, but he could tell the guy meant it as playful so despite jumping a little he didn't say anything against the action. Yet as the guy started to speak he found his blush returning with avengeance. Maion was far from shy when it came to sex, but speaking so bluntly and openly about it had caught him off guard. "I understand." He said softly, leaning down to rest his head on Daisukes for a moment, enjoying the brief contact.

Unsure if the guy wanted him to remain on his lap or not, it took him a moment to decide but he found himself settling and snuggling into the guys side. Surprised when he was picked up so easily he found his arms automatically reaching for the comfort of the guys neck. It didn't take long for them to return to the bedroom.

“If you give me a great show…I will let you choose dinner for us and order what ever you want for your pet.”

He grinned over at the guy playfully. Maion had offered to show off the new clothes he had been bought, and since he had noted where the guy had packed them earlier he slid of the bed with a sensual grace before moving gently towards their hiding place. Pulling the draw open he retrieved several of the items, out of his rear pocket he pulled out a satin blindfold; something he kept handy 'just in case'.... it was amazing what such a thing could be used for.

If Daisuke wanted a show... then he would give him something he was not expecting. Approaching him he took the blindfold asking softly; "May I?" Before leaning over to tie it gentle across the eyes. Running his fingers down Daisuke's face, shoulder, and arm, he took his hand and placed it on his bare chest. "Trust me." He said, enjoying the slight hint of power and control he received from the act. Maion's heart beat thundered strongly within his chest.

With those words spoken he introduced Daisuke to a world of touch and sound. Teasing him with his body, the different feel of material, the sounds of accessories clanging together. He moved around him, kissing him in random places and times to keep his attention from stalling and growing bored. Playing for the senses that Daisuke still possessed he hoped his little 'show' was enough to tantalise the guy.... Maion didn't want him to be able to compare him to anyone else.

Maion had been surprised at how he had literally melted in this mans arms, almost as if he had come to life again. He had had no issue telling him what he liked, when and how... though he was sure his cheeks held a pink blush most of the time.

Trying not to think too much he simply lay trying to catch his breath. Accepting the warmth of Daisuke, placing a hand on his chest. His memories fresh, the tenderness of his body a constant reminder of what they did. He nodded as Dasiuke described it as amazing, not entirely sure he was capable of speech; plus he had no idea what he would say in response to such a compliment.

"Now I feel hungry again...." Smiling softly at the man Maion couldn't resist leaning forward to teasingly whisper; "That is what happens when you have a good workout."

Taking the phone he ordered what he believed Daisuke would enjoy, far from the most expensive items on the menu; but sometimes quality didn't always come with a high price tag.

Of course his little slice of peace was shattered a moment later with a knock at the door, something that wouldn't normally distract or upset him... but the way Daisuke responded? Well, that had him worried. Coupled with his pleading words to remain out of sight made Maion want to hide. As quietly as he could he gathered his clothes and slipped them on, suddenly regretting the skinny jeans. He did his best to sort the bedding out before sitting on the floor.... his little head wings laying flat on his head while he cradled his knees to himself. Each word of the conversation pieced his heart, and had Elijah not pawed his way towards him would probably would have started to cry.... not for himself, but for Daisuke.

Perhaps, he was fortunate not having parents. Sure, there was a woman out there who had carried and birthed him... but he had only met her once since then.... she was the reason he had never tried to remove his head wings; since the first thing she had said to him was 'You are truly beautiful'. Right now, he felt as if he had somehow done something wrong. The woman below was far from accepting this situation.... so much for Maion's plan to play the piano and help Daisuke relax out of his icy exterior.

A door slammed. Glass shattered. And Maion knew he could no longer linger out of sight. Cautiously he stood and made his way downstairs. He didn't say anything at first, seeing the mess before allowing his eyes to flow towards his client. The first thing he noticed was blood. Reflexes took over as he rushed to his side. "You are bleeding." Taking him by the arm he used the guys elbow to guide him to the piano stool before retrieving the first aid kit... the good thing with all these rooms was they kit was kept in the same place. "Let me see...." He soothed, making no mention of what had just happened. Knowing all too well that he probably wouldn't accept it... Maion wasn't even sure his presence was welcome here right now... maybe he should have left?

Using a pair of tweezers he removed the small shards of glass, but was thankful to discover that none of the wounds appeared that bad. Still, he took out an antiseptic wipe so he could clean them before grabbing a bandage. "Would you like me to fetch the doctor to check you out?" He asked, concern clearly furrowing his brows. Done with everything he could he slipped to sit next to Daisuke on the stool, leaning back so that his elbows caused several notes to be played. Remaining silent for a moment it was a shock even to him when he finally spoke....

"I hope I am not out of place.... but I am sorry for the inconvenience I have caused you." He sighed, leaning forward and bring his arms round so they rested on his legs. "Is there anything I can do for you?" Was all he could think of asking, not wanting to make the situation worst... part of him had wanted to offer to dress as a female, Maion even kept a kimono for just such an occasion.... not that he dressed as such often, he was simply prepared for anything his clients may throw at him, or at least he hoped he was.

Maion could tell from the stretched out silence that the guy was hurting. It seemed that his mothers reaction had truly damaged him... had he expected her to accept? Probably, who wouldn't want their mother to understand.... even Maion, a man without a true mother sought her approval.

Running his hand up and down Daisuke's arm, Maion hoped to bring him a shred of comfort. Still, he remained silent. Despite the guys words Maion got the distinct impression that he wanted a break away from him, which was probably the only reason why he let the guy clean up the glass. Normally he would have taken over and done it himself. It didn't take him long to be done, and a moment after he was knelt down in front of Maion. Without a word Maion slipped his arms around the guys neck and rested his forehead on Daisuke's forehead, hoping that the small sliver of contact would help ease his pain. Despite it all, it seemed the guy wanted to to continue to spend the week together; and that was the only reason Maion remained silent, afraid that if he spoke Daisuke would believe he was trying to escape him now.... when in reality he just wanted to be of use to him.

After being lead to the living room Maion allowed himself to be pulled into his lap and nuzzled. The slight growth of whiskers just teasing the sensitive flesh there. "We can go any where you wish." He said softly, trying to keep his smile one of happiness and pleasure, rather than soft melancholy. Yet as Daisuke spoke again Maion found himself squeezing his eyes shut. He couldn't help but believe the guy was forcing himself to flirt.... placing a hand on Daisuke's heart he snuggled in before speaking. "Please.... don't force yourself. I won't run away no matter how you treat me.... you don't need to pretend around me." He found himself saying, and what shocked Maion was the fact that he meant every word. This man who kissed so passionately, that held him while he melted, that made him genuinely smile rather than simply those smiles kept locked away for business..... Yes, for this man it was hard not to show the real him.

He placed a kiss on Daisuke's cheek, neck and shoulder then. Wanting to remind him of the fun they had had not too long before, wanting to be a distraction in this man's pain filled world. Had that been what he was escaping from? He had said that no one knew the truth of him back home....

"I am happy to wear whatever you want." He closed his eyes while allowing his head to rest on Daisuke's shoulder. "Think of me as your personal doll.... I have several swimsuits; from shorts to Speedo's. Though I will not object to something belonging to a woman. I would not object if you asked me dress as such to be shown off as a woman instead of man... if it would help bring back your true smile.... well, I would do anything."

He paused then, not really wanting to say more incase it revealed how much Maion was growing to like the guy. As the question about food fell on his ears he couldn't help but smile a little. "I ordered Chinese style food. Homemade chicken balls in sweet sour sauce. Coupled with rice, a small portion of Bean sprout beef, and shredded duck with all the trimmings. I hope it is to your liking." When Maion didn't eat at his friend's little cafe he would venture here, liking the freshness and unusual flavours.

Maion's eyes wandered towards the piano, and before he knew what he was doing he kissed Daisuke's cheek before sliding off his lap. He remained silent as he walked barefooted towards the piano, that natural grace gliding with every movement. Taking a seat in front of the thing he paused long enough to run the back of his hand over the cold keys.... before playing. This particular piece, was one his own creation... something that he hoped would express the roller coaster of his emotions. He had been learning the piano for many years, and since accepting this job it was a skill he tried to keep well versed in, especially since it was a great way to attracted a new client.... right now? Well, he simply hoped he could help sooth the breaking heart of Daisuke.

In his head he sang many words, 'Just close your eyes.... you'll be alright... come morning light.... you will all be safe.... and sound', but he didn't dare sing them out loud. He played until there was a knock at the door. "Let me get that." He said with a smile before leaving the piano to answer the door.

Maion recognised the delivery boy, "Thank you, Dante." He said taking the delicious smelling food and the complimentary wine off him. Not wanting to linger with the door open too long, just incase Daisuke's mother came back, he had Dante close the door while he made his way to the kitchen. Taking the dishes out he took the warming lids off the plates before summoning Daisuke over. "What can I tempt you with?" He asked softly, wanting to make sure that his client ate well.... even as another part whispered that that wasn't the only reason for his kindness.

When Daisuke gave his reply Maion started to dish out two meals, ensure to give the other more of the meat since that was the most expensive part. Maion was happy with the vegetables, simply glad that he would get food in his stomach. Before taking up this job he had struggled to survive, the bills for school and living too much to bare... and in order to attempt to keep going he had allowed himself to go hungry for days at a time. Sometimes strangers would take pity on him.... but not always.

The question asked shocked Maion; “Why is it…that when most people would have run at these types of situation’s you stayed." It was one that he had to contemplate for a moment since he wasn't completely sure... or perhaps he was simply reluctant to allow himself to go there. Turning in the others embrace he said softly; "You looked so sad... I couldn't just leave you. No one should be alone when they are in that much pain...." Maion had always wished as a child that someone would heed his call, would just hold him rather than stare at him as if he was below a living object. He could remember them bringing a dog into the institute, and experiment to see how their animal sides would react.... that dog had been treated better than the kid who had dared try to play with it. He could still smell the blood.

Taking some of the duck and opening the chicken balls so he could take the chicken out he placed it on a plate and whistled for Elijah who came running without hesitation.

He forced himself to smile, not wanting to allow himself to sink into the past. He was soon distracted again though, happily allowing himself to be pulled onto Daisuke's lap so that he could feed the guy.

“After this lets rest out on the patio for awhile then you can find something sexy to wear to the Jacuzzi alright.” Maion nodded softly, continuing to feed Daisuke the last of his meal. "My pleasure." He murmured before finding his attention drawn towards Elijah. His smile soften a little as he looked at his friend, feeling strangely safer with him here. "He is very protective...." He said softly, "...though he won't hurt you unless he believed you a threat. I wouldn't recommend trying to pet him though." He chuckled softly, "He likes to bite."

A while later found himself drawn into the others embrace again on the patio. Snuggling next to the guy so that he could still feel the warmth of the sun if he desired. He fell silent as the conversation turned to himself... he knew all too well that he had been extremely brief earlier; trying his best not to reveal too much.... but could he really take that approach now? He had already revealed more to this man than he had to any other.... he had never shared the details of his DNA before, only with those he already knew knew did he contemplate discussing it with.

Yes, this was indeed a dangerous man. He had known that the moment he had lay eyes upon him. Attraction made you do stupid things. "Eh...." He said, blushing softly as he tried to decide what to do. The guy was offering him an 'out' but for some reason it felt wrong taking it. "I...." He started after a long silence, "...don't know what I would have done; since this is how I am have I never allowed myself to linger on thoughts of being born differently. Unlike most... I would never have been born had it not been for the experiment, my mother would have been killed rather than bartering with her womb had the research not took place." He gulped a little, really believing every word. "Beyond this ship.... well, I am currently studying. I use the money I earn here to survive since I am independant." He had been 'independant' since he had run away at fifteen. He had managed to run for two years, before getting caught. For the year that followed he had been chained and bound to a cell... only be granted his freedom at eighteen. To this day he wasn't sure why they had let him go... perhaps to see how he would or could survive on his own? Would the path he followed surprise them?

"I am currently training in biology, with a minor in chemisty. At the moment I am participating in a research programme attempting to fine a way to introduce antibodies into the blood stream quicker." He gulped again, finding his attention drawn to Daisuke's chest since he couldn't bring himself to look at the guy in the eyes right now. "I want to try and save people...." he mumbled a little. Falling silent then since he didn't know what else to say. He really wasn't very good at this.

He flinched a little, but found himself saying in no more than a whisper. "I'm sorry... I am not very good at.... sharing."
