The market is, objectively speaking, a miserable place. Precious few of the merchandise are happy to be there, nude and bound and collared - sometimes even caged - free for every prospective customer to examine. Few of the customers are happy either. Prices are high, and the press of so many bodies create a stifling atmosphere.
All in all, it is exactly what Jade had expected. He strolls leisurely through the market, not particularly bothered by what is going on around him. It was one of the reasons he had been chosen for this assignment. Today is his first day at the market; he's meant to speak with the vendors, make connections, and walk away with a cheap but handy acquisition.
He's working on the last part now. It's surprisingly difficult to find someone useful and docile, but still with some spirit left - he does not trust the older slaves who are complacent with the system.
It's during his second time looping through the market that someone catches his eye - for all the wrong reasons. He stops, stares at the familiar figure in front of him, an uncharacteristically surprised expression flashing over his face.
Then he's smiling again. He's still unsure if this is a good turn of events, but perhaps he could use this to his advantage.
"My my, I didn't expect to see you here."

The most he's gotten out of other guys that is comparable to this is his hair being pulled on in the throes of passion and he likes that, too, but it's not half as intoxicating as being steered into whatever direction another man wants. He's not sure he'll be able to walk after this. His legs are weak from holding up his body, shaking too much, and now he's also trying not to spurt onto Jade's clothes which requires more restraint than he's capable of. His muscles visibly contract; he wishes he knew what to do, but all he can see is himself spreading his legs for a shadowy figure and Jade watching over them.
"You'll watch, tomorrow?" His voice is weak and raw when he breathes against Jade's cheek. "Please."
no subject
He inhales sharply, trying to will away the stutter in his breath. "Since you asked so nicely..." Precome is still beading from the head of Shinjirou's cock, trickling down the shaft, and each movement of Jade's hand leaves behind sticky trails. He has to take another deep breath before he feels steady enough to continue speaking. "I'll consider it."
Shinjirou must be getting close now, and Jade gives his cock one more tug, to bring him even closer to the edge. Then, without warning, he stops.
Both his hands go to rest around Shinjirou's hips, and he smiles, confident and steady once more now that the immediacy of the situation is gone. "I think that's enough for tonight."
no subject
"Yes, please. Please consider it." He's right on the edge, lower abdomen tightening in a spasm and he fears he will lose it right there -- and then the warm, firm grip is gone.
No, he's not one to whine, normally. Yet normally he's allowed to get off. And so a low whine does spill out, his mouth quickly pressed into Jade's throat to stifle himself. "No." His yearning is a thick layer on his otherwise breathless voice. He leans back to look at Jade, who seems a bit blurry. "Why?"
no subject
"You have a long day ahead of you tomorrow." His voice is still a bit breathy, but Jade isn't too concerned. It's not like Shinjirou is in any state to notice, desperate as he is. "You'll need your rest."
He pushes at his shoulders lightly. "Get up and come with me. I have a futon set up for you in my bedroom."
no subject
"I can't sleep like this."
Without a doubt he knows that Jade won't want him to touch himself. No, he needs to learn some discipline and keep his hands off his aching cock. His fingers flex and he cups himself without skin touching skin, merely giving an idea of what it'd be like ... just one, two pulls and he could come, he's certain.
He's unsteady on the way to the bedroom, waiting at the door for Jade to let him in; it's less a sign of being obedient and more that he needs to catch his breath.
no subject
The futon is laid out neatly on the ground right next to Jade's own bed. It's nothing fancy, but it's comfortable enough, with a light quilt to ward off the chill. "Lie down," Jade says, knowing the fabric will feel temptingly good against Shinjirou's bare skin. But what is the point of a challenge if it's too easy?
no subject
"Is this your way of making sure I won't try to escape?" The blanket rustles when he moves. He can't find a position that is at the same time comfortable and not tantalizing. It doesn't help that his thighs have already become sticky as well as part of the fabric and his stomach. "I won't, so ... please let me finish."
no subject
He doesn't plan on explaining himself, especially when Shinjirou isn't supposed to be doing any asking. But these are still the early days; there's plenty of time to continue disciplining him later, when he's more likely to take those lessons to heart. "Do you remember what you said earlier? You can be good. Well, here's your chance to prove it."
no subject
"Prove it, like this?" Why can't he start proving himself tomorrow, he thinks, why does it have to be right away and in this manner. He falters, hugging himself beneath the blanket. "I ... will sleep now."

He feels guilty, almost, as the water sends the mess swirling down the drain, but it's always been easy for him to shake off vague, half-formed feelings. He's cool and composed again when he steps out of the bathroom, limbs heavy with lazy satisfaction. After making sure Shinjirou hadn't come, he climbs into his own bed and lets tiredness overtake him.
At exactly seven o'clock the next morning, he wakes without an alarm to prompt him. After a few minutes to mentally schedule his day, he rises, goes to crouch beside Shinjirou again, and shakes him firmly on the shoulder.
"Good morning. It's time to wake up."
no subject
Disoriented -- and with a headache he quickly notices as he's shooting up and away from the hand -- he looks left and right. Trying to make sense of his whereabouts.
As soon as he remembers, he wishes he wouldn't. A dark, cool heaviness plummets into his stomach and he reaches for the collar. Yes, it's still there. And he remembers the way he behaved just a few hours ago, too. Cringing, he glances at Jade.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm awake. Thanks for the heart attack."
no subject
"I'll try to be more gentle next time." He says, clearly not meaning it. "Now, go make some breakfast. I'm in the mood for eggs and toast today. I'd like to have tea, but you can brew some coffee for yourself if you need it."
With how much and how quickly he had drunk last night, Jade would be very much surprised if Shinjirou doesn't have at least a small hangover.
no subject
Hot water, hell, even ice cold water sounds like heaven to him. Washing the sweat and come off his body won't erase the past, but it'd at least take the constant reminder away.
"Shit, my head hurts," he murmurs, trying to get up without losing, nor tangling himself up in the blanket.
no subject
Shinjirou is beginning to grow rebellious again, he can tell. It was probably due to embarrassment, or perhaps shame, or maybe he's beginning to resent his situation now that he's sober again. But whatever his reasons, Jade can't tolerate dissent.
no subject
And he hates that Jade will look at it and know that he's the reason for this sight and in turn, Shinjirou will be forced to remember even more distinctly how desperate he was.
Nevermind. If he runs off to the kitchen quickly, then he can wear the apron for a bit until breakfast is ready. It's not the greatest strategy he's ever come up with, true, but he's not looking for great solutions here.
no subject
Carefully, he runs two of his fingers along the edge of one of the bigger stains on Shinjirou's thigh, feeling some of the dried crust peel off and flake onto the futon. He'll need to be washed before his guest comes, but for now, Jade finds that he enjoys seeing him so visibly marked.
He raises his eyes again, looking directly at Shinjirou. "You did do well last night, you know."
no subject
Especially in his position. A slave.
He shudders, glancing at Jade when he hears him speak up again. It feels like ants crawling under his skin and heat rises into his face. He shouldn't feel proud; he does, but biting into his lips keeps him from smiling. "Yeah?"
no subject
"Let's have breakfast." He stands, offering his hand to Shinjirou.
no subject
Letting himself be helped up, he gets up and looks away. Not down, just to the side. He's not like the quiet little virgins Jade could have picked, but he feels inclined to lower his head anyway. Most of the time people fight with him, insult him. He's far from used to being appreciated.
"Yes. Breakfast."
no subject
"Oh, and bring the lubricant into the living room. There's a box in the bottom drawer of the bedside table. Bring that out as well. I don't think we'll need them tonight, but it never hurts to be prepared." He finishes his tea, setting the cup down. "My guest will be here at six. I want you to eat and shower before then, and prepare dinner for two. That should be all."
no subject
Eventually, of course, Jade has to remind him that housework isn't the only thing expected from him. With goosebumps riddling his skin, he brings both the lube and the box into the living room, setting them down on the small table. Would he like to know what's inside that box? He glances at Jade, wondering if he should ask ... he comes to the conclusion that it's not worth his time. Jade won't answer anyway, probably, and even if he did, Shinjirou may not like it.
So he runs off to take a shower as soon as he hears Jade say that it's something he wants Shinjirou to do. It's the first time he truly feels alone again ever since a stranger dragged him off the streets. He makes sure to return after less than 30 minutes have passed, though. Which is a long time, yes, but he's cleaned himself thoroughly and he figures Jade won't mind him enjoying the comfort of hot water as long as it'll also please his guest.
"I'm not hungry. Uh." Hair still somewhat wet, he crosses his arms. "Does the guy have any allergies? It's not that I wanna poison him. Not yet, I guess."
no subject
"Please refrain from poisoning my guests." There's an amused lilt in his tone, though, one that shows he doesn't particularly care either way. Not that he thinks Shinjirou would actually try to poison them; he just doesn't like his guests. They're useful, but that was about it. He dislikes their greed, their small-mindedness, and most of all, the way their behaviour is uncomfortably similar to the mask he had put up.
After a short pause, he adds, "Unless I tell you to do so. But no, he doesn't have any allergies that I know of."
no subject
For all the people scared of him, he doesn't like hurting others. He does it anyway, too often, for reasons he unfortunately already gave away.
It's great that Jade's fridge is full of food and he utilizes the wide range of vegetables to choose from. He snacks on the dish he's making, though if asked what he's doing he'd call it seasoning. He may not be hungry, but whatever this mysterious guest is about to do to him, an empty stomach could be a disadvantage.
