( he realizes a little too late that he's in over his head, here. men like this, people like this, are always out for themselves and gaon rolls his empty glass against his palm, his mouth suddenly dry, aware of the interest. he's not immune to any of it, of course. the charm works despite himself, pink rising to his cheeks that has nothing to do with the fervor of his current topic. he thinks he likes it more than he's wary of it, which is a particularly dangerous situation to find himself in, given the man in front of him. )

There's no such thing as demons.

( but the effect the stranger is having on him is apparent in the sudden croak of his voice, the way his eyes dart away, out to the crowd again, and then back to the man's eyes, his mouth for a brief second, his eyes again. like he's been caught in a trap, in a spell. there's a pull towards this person that he can't reason away and liquor makes him prone to poor choices on a good day, let alone when he's in a mood. )

Are you? ( he's too close again, blindly sliding his glass onto the bar top, eyebrows lifting in question. ) Prone?

( this isn't where he'd expected this night to go. he'd balked on coming in the first place, begged off a half dozen various excuses for why he couldn't and shouldn't and still wound up guilted and wrangled and trotted out like a prize won. it's part of the job he'd agreed to. it's what's expected of a judge in the public eye. perform, perform, perform. jump, whenever demanded.

but there's something to this, to the little bubble of space here, to this stranger looking at him like he understands that gaon is an exception to the rule here, that he agrees that all this pomp and behaviour is a gross misrepresentation of the system. he sees that gaon doesn't belong here, isn't a part of the games. gaon can feel the little flicker for what it is, that need to not be lumped in with the sort of people kang yohan's reputation tends to attract.

gaon still doesn't know who this man is. he's just drunk enough that there's something enticing about it, that flare of a thrill he'd be barred from if anyone knew, protected from his own impulses at every turn. but this man is beautiful and carries just enough ego that gaon finds it charming rather than repellent and he doesn't have any idea what he's agreeing to except that he knows he wants it. spite. rebellion. his own desire. he could ask for his name, but it's somehow that much more interesting not knowing.

later, maybe.

he shifts his knee forward, urging the man's hand just a scant inch higher, leaning in close enough that their cheeks brush, mouth near his ear. )


How intrigued are you?

( his breath escapes him too quickly, a gust of panic that spreads immediately to all of his extremities. panic isn't ever really something to classify as good, but gaon is alight with it in a way that feels particularly dangerous. the intelligent side of him would say no. any kind of moral conscience or sense of dignity should lead him in any direction besides this one. but all it takes is that one little brush to put just enough weight on the scales and he's never been good with liquor anyway.

he's got enough self-awareness to sit back slowly. anyone paying too close attention would see the way his eyes don't stray from the man's face, the invitation hovering unmet in the space between them. it's the drink that wins him over, in a purely visceral, human way. the man's throat bobs, gaon swallows in echo, reason left somewhere far behind.

he'll regret it come morning. he might regret not doing it more. )


You've got my bill?

( he isn't really expecting an answer. someone else is surely paying for his drinks anyway, that was part of deal in getting him to agree. it's funny to leave it like that, whoever he is, presumptive as he slides off the stool and rights his suit, settles his tie back to where it's meant to be, only just off-balance. )

Two doors down? ( innocuous, low enough to not really be overheard. agreement as he pats the man's arm companionably and then leaves him behind.

doubt creeps in the further away he gets. one door, two. he passes it first, hesitant to beeline directly there, and makes a show of finding a spot to pull his phone out, to feign checking messages while he wonders what kind of game he's walking himself into. is this normal? is he going to be found out in the bathroom like a fool, waiting for some rich asshole who's been playing him this whole time? maybe.

if nothing else he can play at having an actual reason to be in there, right?

he pockets his phone and swings back to the second door -- bathroom, yes -- under the pretense of washing his hands. normal. valid. the music from the floor below makes the tiles under his feet tremble with the bass and he watches himself in the mirror as he runs his hands under the tap, the colour too high in his cheeks, and starts a count on how long he's willing to give this before he taps out. )

( strange how relief and overwhelm both flood him at the same time. relief to have not been wrong, overwhelm at what being right truly entails. because that lock clicks and gaon's throat does too when he swallows, turning to face the stranger as he slinks closer like a predator cornering its prey and gaon knows he's agreed to something much, much bigger than he has before.

this close gaon can smell the intent on him and something deep and well-contained inside of gaon responds with purpose.

he meets the kiss hungrily, with equal fervor. gone is whatever apprehension he'd carried from the bar, eagerly replaced by the thrum of want under his skin, mismatched to the music. graceless hands find the button of the man's jacket and he fumbles it open as he tilts his head, drawing back only just enough that he'll have to follow, step further into gaon's space. his hands disappear under the jacket, skimming across what must be expensive cotton, touching where he probably shouldn't as his lips part to deepen the kiss.

he's never kissed someone he doesn't know everything about already. never kissed someone nameless, an anonymous entity with any kind of past behind him. never done anything like this with a man, for sure, but that's not information he's willing to share right now. not when this is the most interesting thing that's happened in months, in years. not when he's been corralled into behaving for so long. now he wants this. )

( it's been a long time since gaon's been touched. school and then work -- work -- and the way life has taken slow, sure, plodding steps forward has kept intimacy on a back burner with an intentionality he doesn't really like. but he appreciates it here, askance, for the way goosebumps erupt following the path the man's hand has carved up his chest, down his body. every part of him reacts like a plant freshly watered, awake suddenly to his own desire.

he likes the bite of the counter behind him, the threat of teeth at his lip. everything feels so much more, a different level, latent hunger lifting its head where it's been ignored too long. he makes a muffled noise into the man's mouth and doesn't even realize he's rocking into his hand until the countertop catches him on the retreat.

this is stupid. this is dangerous. he could be ruining everything he'd worked towards here and now for something fleeting. his hands drag across the man's chest and twist into the armholes of his waistcoat for leverage as he tries to haul him even closer, shoes slipping against the tile in his haste. just enough drink to make him eager, to let want rule over sense. )


Yes, ( he mutters, letting the counter take more of his weight, legs spreading to fit the man between them, heels braced against the floor. foolish or not, he's ready and willing to make a stupid decision if it means more of this. )

( it makes it almost too real to be given options. had they been delivered by any other means it might have been enough that he'd balk at the entire thing. but he's too deep in it now; he's been deep enough in it since the man had first leaned too close to him, let him get a lungful of the expensive cologne he's surely pressing into gaon's suit now, and it's hard to think of anything except chasing more of whatever this is with the way he's being watched. a butterfly captured, pinned. gaon wants more of whatever is behind the expectant look in the man's eyes.

he wants to be worth that kind of want. )


Fuck me.

( it's barely more than a whisper. it's a shuddering half-admission, his chin lifting, eyes going lidded as his tongue sweeps across his own lip and his teeth follow, sinking into the flesh. he breathes against the man's hands, steadying himself, shoring up his uncertainty against the way their hips fit together just so. he can feel the interest and it bolsters him, makes him a little braver. stupider too, maybe. he should say no. he should leave. what would soohyun think of this?

he curls his fingers around the man's tie and tugs him in close again, just shy of their lips actually touching. )


What do you want?
