Work Text:
The room was dim, liquor on the table. 2 glasses sat nearby. Marius sat at the couch with his client beside. He isn’t one to like such an environment, a club. However, one of their important clients prefers such an arrangement rather than any other location he wanted. Business is business. He put up a front, finally seeing the end when the client signature is on the document. Excitement bubbles within him from the thought of home rather than closing the deal. They clink glass, closing the deal. Before Marius could dart out as politely as he could, the client stops him. “Hey, what’s the rush for? A CEO should know how to enjoy such a nice setting.” The client smirks, seeming to contact the outside staff, giving a signal. The door opens and a row of people enter. One of them seems to be the staff or manager, wearing a suit. Very contrasting to the rest that wear seductive clothing. Males and females mixed in the row. Marius tries to hide his dismay at the situation while the client sounds his satisfaction to the manager.
“Why don’t you pick first? I’ve frequent here quite a bit. This is your first, isn't it? Go ahead." Marius forced a smile out before gazing at the selection. He noticed the smiles they all had, probably instructed by the manager. His eyes fixed on one guy. Even though their hair is long and eye color is different, they look awfully familiar. Marius points to him. “I’ll select that person.” The client looks amused. “Sure, then I’ll pick those 2 girls. The rest can leave.”
The guy settles beside Marius, closer to the client while the girls swiftly settle beside the client all clingy. The client waved to their glass, prompting the girls to prepare his cup. The guy moves to prepare Marius’. “Here boss~” One of the girls held the glass to the client’s mouth while the other had her hand under his mouth. Marius feels himself cringing at the sight. He glanced at the guy who seemed to have the same internal reaction before his gaze landed on him. They lock eyes with each other. “You’re new huh? Go serve the glass to the CEO.” The client chuckles. Both of them did not move. “Don’t mind him, he’s new. How about I help?” One of the girls flashes a smile at the client before going to Marius after permitting. He takes a sip from the glass, letting the girl return to the client side.
The client suggests playing games involving the escorts. With each round going by, another glass is drunk by the loser. Marius took note of how the guy he selected somehow won most of the games. The ones he lost seem to be purposeful, ensuring the client did not get too mad. Though, the losing streak seems to make them lose interest. His focus shifts to the girls, briefly at the guy. “Why don’t you all kneel on the ground and show us a little of what you’ve got~” Marius grew confused at their words. It clears up when the three of them kneel, the girls nuzzling at the guy. “Boss~ Let me be by your side. I miss your warmth.” “I miss your touch. May I sit beside you and even help you with a glass, boss~” The girls’ voice slurs seductively, not breaking eye contact with him. The client adjusts the girls’ clothes to reveal more, taking the chance to feel them. He glanced at the guy, as if waiting to see him perform. Marius locks eyes with the guy. “Boss, let me return to your side. I’ll do whatever you want.” Marius nods, immediately signaling him to return to the couch. The client chuckles. “That’s no fun Mr. Hagen. Have a little fun with them, right?” The girls immediately nod, moaning when the client gropes their boobs. Marius clears his throat. “Isn’t this a little…” The client glanced over. “Ah, not used to it huh? Well, I’ll open another room with them. Have your fun with him. Or do you want an experienced girl for your first?” Marius shakes his head, awaiting for them to leave.
“You, I know you don’t I?” The guy slumps in his seat. “How did you notice?” Marius chuckles. “Your strategic playing, your physique.” His hand reaches out to touch Luke’s wig. “Damn, that’s actually good quality.” Luke scoffs, crossing his arms. “Of course. Just cause it’s a disguise, doesn’t mean the quality has to be sacrificed.” “So why were you one of the line up? Is your work not earning money?” Marius jokes. Luke rolls his eyes. “It gets me by. I don’t need stacks like yours, thank you. I’m doing some investigating work.” Marius head tilt. “Aren’t you not supposed to say that out loud?” Luke points to the door. “This room is sound proof unless they open the door. Plus, most of the rooms even if they have surveillance, there’s no audio. Private rooms like this one don't have any. There’s big shots that use such advantages to discuss private matters. With no audio source to bug, I have to go undercover instead.” Marius thought about it for a while. “I’m curious, how did they agree to let you work? Any training? Seeing as before… you…” Marius smirks, his eyes narrowed at Luke. The other awkwardly glanced to the floor, clearing his throat. “There’s training. How to… work with customers. They allowed me the job because of my bar skills.” “Oh? What have they taught? I want to get a glimpse of it.” Luke scoffs but his face starts to blush. “I didn't know the Pax CEO was that much of a pervert. Getting service at a club. That will be an interesting scoop for news reporters.” Marius chuckles. “Yeah, this CEO has turned into a big pervert. Come on, let me see it. You’re in a disguise anyways. You’re not Luke, you’re…” “Lux. That’s the name I gave.” Marius nods before his eyes linger on, waiting for Luke.
Luke sighs before he approaches, his body pressing right up against. “Boss, have you been enjoying yourself?” His smirks widened seeing Luke while he tried to ignore the thumbing in his chest. “Not really, you probably noticed when the client was still around. How are you gonna make me happy?” He noticed the subtle clenching of Luke’s jaw. “Would you like me to pour a glass or something more physical?” Marius' eyes widened when Luke’s hand slid up his thighs. “You-” Luke giggles, taking in Marius' flustered look. “Physical. Let me see how far you’ll go. Show me what a good girl you are~” Marius brushes a stray lock of hair aside before holding his hair. Luke grows nervous. His chest tightened. “I’m not-” Marius cuts him off. “Nah. Gonna refuse when the client asks? Maybe I should report to the manager.” His hands drift to trace the outline of Luke's revealing outfits. “This… may be better with a skirt-” Luke shifts away, turning aside. He feels his face turn warm at the thought.
His focus gets grounded when he feels a jacket over him. He glanced at Marius. “Don’t do such undercover jobs if you can’t play the role fully. Shouldn’t sacrifice this much. Are you able to quit or do I have to buy you out?” He looks back, seeing sincerity in his eyes. “I’ll just let myself get fired when I refuse to go any further. I can defend myself anyway if things turn south.” Marius frowned slightly before leaning closer. “Quit before anyone else sees how cute and pretty you look.” Luke stood back up, feeling his heart race from the compliment. “The blush suits you Luke. Not Lux.” Marius stood up, eyes fixated at the reddened guy. “I expect my jacket to be returned to me by midnight. Tell them you’re gonna leave early or use the jacket as a reason to leave.” Before he could respond, Marius heads to the door and exits.
Luke stood in the room, his hand gripping on Marius’ jacket. His cologne faintly hung onto the jacket. He wears the jacket, realizing it is slightly larger than himself. Somehow it felt warm and nice. ‘When is he ever this cool and…’ Luke feels his chest tightened even more, in disbelief he would ever have found Marius hot.
