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."

Face impassive, Jade watches his contact work, wishing he could slip away unnoticed. There are other things he can be doing. But Shinjirou would be discouraged, and his contact offended (he does so enjoy having eyes on him, the same way other men enjoy having soft hands and lips wrapped around their cock); so no, leaving isn't an option. With an inward sigh, Jade settles in for a wait, eyes fixed on the scene but not taking anything in.
no subject
Shuddering, he pushes back. He doesn't need to say anything, he thinks. It must be obvious to any observer, but undoubtedly for the man who's buried within him, that he likes this. The slow burn of his body getting accustomed to the girth and weight. On the other hand, the pleasant intimacy throws him off. He releases a sharp breath and lowers his eyes. His first time would have been a lot easier, had that guy treated him more like this.
And that isn't a thought he should be thinking.
no subject
As if he needs to ask. Jade schools his features into neutrality, resisting the urge to sigh. He knows his contact enjoys showing off; he just had no idea how bad it is.
no subject
"I do."
Tasting blood and come, he chews on the inside of his lips and cheeks. Anything to distract himself, anything to muffle his voice. He's successful with that and the only noise that gets out is a drawn-out sigh when the man finally starts moving. On the other hand, he can't prevent the shuddering, the fresh sheet of sweat when his body heat flames up.
no subject
His contact shows no sign of speeding up. He's still moving slow and lazy, making sure that Shinjirou can feel every inch of his cock with each thrust. The sweat makes his hand slip a little - he tightens his grip, blunted nails just barely digging into Shinjirou's skin. "Still good?" He asks, a flawless imitation of a concerned lover.
no subject
The fake intimacy makes his stomach turn more than once. Except for his tied-up state, this is closer to what he imagines making love would be like than simple sex. He doesn't need that. Hell, he doesn't deserve that. Writhing on the floor, he stretches his neck as if to get away though the pull isn't strong enough to wriggle out of the man's hold. His cock, pressed up against his stomach, twitches each time the man gets the angle just right; he doesn't want to come and he isn't allowed on top of that.
What's going to happen if he can't stop himself? Punishment, maybe. And that sounds sort of tempting at the moment.
no subject
So he's determined to keep showing off, Jade thinks, his irritation not quite fading. But this is a good test of Shinjirou's abilities, though he's a little wary on that front as well - he knows Shinjirou well enough by now to sense the pliant, obedient mask beginning to crack.
It makes him tense (he has too much riding on this particular contact, and his own reputation will be at stake if Shinjirou turns violent), but he keeps his face blank and impassive. Inwardly, he wonders if there's a way to signal Shinjirou to work faster.
no subject
"No. Please." Tilting his head, he rubs his face against the man's fingertips, tongue darting out from time to time. "Don't stop."
To prove he's being sincere, he squeezes the man's cock, pushes back. An invitation to go deeper, a plea for more. Using his mouth is still difficult and begging would be more painful than simply embarrassing. This is all he can do: move. And he does, rolling his hips in time with the man's slow thrusts.
The disappointment hopefully won't be as bad if he comes despite being told not to; not as bad as if he cursed the man and kicked him.
no subject
When he thrusts in again, it's a little faster this time, a little deeper. It seems like he's satisfied with Shinjirou's actions. Jade would nod encouragingly, but that's too obvious - the best he can do is incline his head slightly, a brief, very tiny smile flickering across his face the next time Shinjirou looks up.
Like this, it doesn't take too long for the man to finally come. He only really speeds up in the last few seconds, rocking shallowly but rapidly into Shinjirou until he comes with a soft exhale. Another second to catch his breath, then he gives Shinjirou an encouraging pat on the back as he pulls out.
"That was good." He seems barely out of breath. "Thank you. I hope I'll be seeing you again soon."
no subject
It's too gentle. It's good. And he nearly forgets at some point that this is just work, catching the man's gaze and fixating him -- even when he's remembered that he's playing the sort of whore that the guy wants. The flush of his cheek, hidden underneath a layer of drying come, and the twitch of muscles, everyone will be able to see that, but he doesn't fight it for the man who's currently buried inside of him, and for Jade. Not for any of the others.
In the end, it doesn't even seem to matter to the man that a drop of pre-come has appeared on the tip of his cock. Shinjirou sighs quietly, closing his eyes. "I hope so, too." Not.
no subject
"We can discuss that later," he says, calm despite the heady rush of success.
"Why not now?" The man suggests, buttoning himself back up. Carefully, he fits the plug back inside Shinjirou before standing up again. "I'll come back to visit, so stay like this."
He walks away. There's no time to speak with Shinjirou; Jade gives him one last concerned glance and a quick nod, then swiftly follows after his contact. From the corner of his eye, he can already see the audience beginning to circle, vultures closing in on a feast of carrion. Even from this distance, he can see the matching look of hunger on their faces - none of them are going to be gentle, he thinks.
There's nothing he can do except trust that Shinjirou can endure the abuse. He has too much to do before the party ends; it's not until the last few guests trickle out that he finally returns to where Shinjirou is stationed. His contact had already left almost half an hour ago - apparently he had been lying about coming back to see Shinjirou.
For a few seconds he just watches quietly, assessing Shinjirou's state.
no subject
He's melting in their hands until he's completely mellow and tame and his body heat is too intense to feel any pain. How often his body contracts around their cocks and splatters onto the floor he doesn't know -- he's never empty and perhaps he never stops coming either. It's only a few drops after the first few times, then nothing at all.
The last guy props him up against the wall after noticing that he can't hold his balance anymore. That's nice. Shinjirou smiles up at him, the man's sticky mess dripping down his chin. Then he's alone. The plug isn't big enough any longer to keep him shut, almost slipping out of his messy hole.
Belatedly, Shinjirou notices that Jade's back. He glances at him, arms flexing. Now that there are no bodies to keep him warm, he's getting cold and the pressure of bruises blossoming under his skin has returned. He sits upright, favoring one side to the other, breathing in a shallow rhythm. And he watches Jade, waiting for some sort of comment. Approval, disappointment, anything.
no subject
Jade doesn't let any hint of judgement show on his face; none of this is Shinjirou's fault, rather, all his disgust is directed at himself. To Shinjirou, he only smiles encouragingly, crouching down in front of him. His coworker was right. He is sick, sick enough to find Shinjirou's state fascinating, sick enough to still be curious about Shinjirou's breaking point.
None of this is news, exactly. All the more reason not to wallow in his guilt.
"Your throat must be burning," he comments. "Don't talk. Do you want anything to drink?"
no subject
It'd also be great to be free again. Crawling around like a captured bird has been an exciting experience, but now he desperately wants to cover himself. Not to hide from Jade. Mostly from himself.
no subject
"Drink slowly," he warns, raising it to Shinjirou's lips and gently tilting it down. The water inside is still warm. Carefully, he wraps an arm around Shinjirou's shoulders to support him, uncaring of the way it immediately dirties his jacket. It can always be cleaned later.
no subject
Each time someone walks past them, he gets distracted, eyes following the movement. Once the cup is empty, this gets worse and he ends up openly staring at people. Never at their faces, only at their feet. Raising his head is too exhausting.
no subject
"I'm going to unbind you now." He frees Shinjirou arms first, then his legs, neatly setting the ropes and spreader bar to the side. Shinjirou's splintered attention is noted, but Jade doesn't bring it up; the best thing to do would be to remove him from the situation as soon as possible. And that means leaving the room and heading into the showers. "Can you stand?"
no subject
Despite all that, he nods. His legs don't hurt a bit. He should be able to get up on his own -- but that's just misleading. The second he tries to stand, he plops down, knees hitting the floor. His legs are numb, from hips to toes, insects seemingly crawling under his skin. They tickle. Pathetic, how he sits there like a child that hasn't yet learned how to walk.
no subject
"It's alright. Take your time, we're not in any rush." He rubs at Shinjirou's thighs, partly to get his circulation flowing again, partly to draw his attention. Perhaps a reassuring smile would help, but no; Jade doesn't see the need to go to such lengths to offer comfort.
no subject
Eventually, he puts one hand on the wall and tries to pull himself up. His face twists, something in his chest stabbing him from the inside out. He stands, but hunched and uncertain, one hand cupping a dark, swollen bruise on the lower end of his rib cage.
no subject
"I'll help you treat those later," he promises. "I have some cream in my bag."
But first, he has to remove the plug. It's slippery under his fingers; he barely has to tug for it to come sliding out, wet enough that it makes a noise. He leaves Shinjirou leaning against the wall while he stashes it away (out of sight and out of mind, isn't that how it goes?), returning a brief second later.
"Do you think you can walk?" He watches him, eyes dark with concern that he can't entirely hide.
no subject
Shinjirou looks up, in the wrong direction. Someone has just talked to him, right? Blinking, he turns his head until Jade appears before his eyes. Yes, that'd make sense, Jade asking him that. Then what's the answer ... he's slow and his chest hurts when he attempts to straighten. He manages to shuffle forward just fine and that is some sort of walking, he guesses. Shinjirou nods, staring at Jade's shoulder.
no subject
Very literally.
He offers his arm to Shinjirou. "Lean on me. I'd like to leave as soon as possible."
no subject
With Jade's help, he manages to walk all the way to the showers without stumbling. He wonders where the strength in his legs went and when it will return as he stands below the shower head, eyes roaming the new room. As soon as he looks at something new, he's already forgotten about the other corner. Dizzy, he ends up looking at his feet. That's boring, but also not confusing.
no subject
"Just keep looking down," he instructs, burying his fingers into Shinjirou's come-stained hair without hesitation. They're in the shower; they'll both be washed clean when they're done. Gently, he begins massaging the scalp, frowning slightly at the stickiness.
Things had gotten very out of hand tonight. He had never thought- no, that isn't strictly true. He knew just how brutal humans could be when they have power. None of this should be a surprise.
