Title: A Friend From The Past?


"This is Hunter Clarington." Richard introduced.

"Ah. I see. My new bodyguard, thank you Richard, you may leave now."

Richard nodded and left the room.

Sebastian Smythe. Famous model. Millionaire. Actor. & A member of the Gay Community. Hunter Clarington was given quite the task.

Hunter looked around, gazing at his surroundings. Marble floors, chandeliers, crystal clear windows, and only the finest furniture available. Not to the mention the humongous pool in the back yard. Hunter's eyes widened at the view.

"Like what you see?" Sebastian said with a smirk.

Hunter nodded wordlessly. This was nothing like his house back home in North Carolina. It was extremely small, probably could fit no more than three people at max. But this…. This was practically a mansion. He knew he was supposed to be protecting someone important, but not this important.

"It was my father's, now it's mine. Your room is upstairs, first room on the right." Sebastian said, looking up to the second floor from below.

"Got it. I'll be quick." Hunter said while grabbing his stuff.

Sebastian chuckled, "There's no rush, we basically live together now."

And he was right, they did basically live together. Though Hunter still had a job to fulfill. His task was simple, protect Sebastian Smythe. Now it wasn't like Sebastian was some sort of government official, however he was very popular, which means there were some risks. Hunter knew that and he signed up for the job anyway. It did result in him having to leave his sister alone in their studio apartment back in North Carolina because he had to move here, but his sister encouraged him too. The job paid well and she just wanted him to be happy. When Hunter entered the room the first thing he noticed was that the main light source was a chandelier, a crystal one. Now that was something Hunter would never get used to. He put his suitcase down on the floor next to the bed and let out a sigh of exhaustion. The flight from North Carolina to Washington was not enjoyable. Mostly because of the fact that the flight was extremely early and that he almost lost his luggage at baggage claim. (Don't ask) When he headed back downstairs he looked to see Sebastian standing next to the door, putting a black jacket on.

"Ready?" He said opening the door.

"Where are we going?" Hunter asked grabbing his shoes.

"Well I want to go somewhere special to eat lunch and apparently I have to bring you with me." Sebastian said with an amused eye roll.

"Somewhere special?" Hunter repeated, hoping Sebastian would tell him considering as his bodyguard, he should know.

"You'll see."

Hunter rolled his eyes.

~.~.~.~.~

A maserati… of course.

Sebastian grinned when he saw Hunter's facial expression. "Hop on in Killer." He said. (After he opened the door for Hunter) Which Hunter did not notice because well…. He owned a MASERATI…..

Okay Clarington, you have a job remember? "I think it would be smart if I knew where we are going, I'm supposed to protect you? Aren't I?"

"Yeah from like crazy fans or something. Relax, we're just going downtown." Sebastian said as pulled out of his parking spot. "So tell me about yourself."

"What do you mean?"

"It's not a hard question." He chuckled. "Like what did you do before you came here."

"I worked as a security guard at a Macy's." Hunter said, slightly embarrassed. It wasn't the best job and it sure wasn't something to brag about. Though it paid bills and that's all that mattered.

Sebastian started laughing as they got on the highway. "Really? Security for a clothing store. Man that sounds boring."

"Nice car." Hunter said, attempting to change the subject.

The other man raised his eyebrow. "Another thing that you probably aren't too familiar with a nice ride."

Hunter stayed silent, ignoring the comment.

"I'm guessing you didn't make much back home, working a shitty job, don't know how you could live like that. I know I couldn't."

Again, Hunter stayed silent, but his eyes shifted downwards. (Catching Sebastian's attention.) Guilt swept through his body, maybe he did go a little too far.

"Hey I'm just messing with ya." He said a few moments later as they entered downtown. "Welcome to downtown Seattle." Sebastian said with a smile.

Hunter focused his attention to the city around him. Seattle. He'd read a little bit about the city before he took this job. Despite the comments about rainy weather, he learned that Seattle was quite the city.

"And here we are." Sebastian said as they finally reached their destination. Well.. a parking space but at least they were off the road. They both got out of the car and walked to the side walk. "Jeez it's cold today." He commented rubbing his arms for a brief moment. Surprisingly, Hunter didn't feel it.

~.~.~.~.~

"Uh what is this?" Hunter was completely astonished. The Sebastian Smythe had taken him to…. He didn't even know what to call this. A market of some sorts maybe? It sure looked like one. Bunches of people and small shops selling some of the most random things.

"Pike Place Market."

"Pike Place Market?" I was right.

"Yeah… You know what a market is right?" He asked casually.

Hunter nodded swiftly. "I just mean… You don't seem like the type to go a local market." This was more of something Hunter could imagine him and his sister doing together, or even his mother.

Sebastian chuckled lightly. "Glad you think so much of me." He said making Hunter blush.

"No. No. I didn't mean it like that… Well… maybe I did. But anyway why here?"

"Cause this isn't just a market dumb ass-

Well isn't he nice

It's different. Downtown is known for it.." Sebastian's eyes shortly shifted away from Hunter. "Oh thank god, I'm starving." He said and started to quickly walk inside in the market, Hunter following him.

~.~.~.~.~

"Were in a local place, no one will recognize me you know?" Sebastian said after taking a bite of his sandwich, along with noticing that Hunter was cautiously looking around.

He narrowed his eyes, "Wait then why did you bring me?"

"Mm.. I don't know- why not." He responded in between bites. "Okay I finished, let's move on."

Sebastian ended up practically dragging Hunter through the market. Going from shop to shop buying stuff that even Hunter might consider useless. Even made Hunter carry a few of the things he bought. OK this wasn't that bad. Hunter honestly thought he would be working for some douche, which he did think Sebastian was at first but that's besides the point. Sebastian actually turned out to be a nice guy.

A few people did notice who Sebastian was and even asked for a picture. But surprisingly the model didn't mind, they seemed to make him happy.

"Thanks!" The young girl said and scurried off with her friends.

"Anytime." He said with a wink. The girl practically fainted in response as she walked away.

"She does know you're gay right?" Hunter asked stepping forward.

Sebastian shrugged, "Why? Jealous"." He smirked.

"Uh what..- no." He retorted and shook his head. "So where to next?"

Sebastian laughed and started walking towards the exit of the market. "Follow me." He said, gesturing with his hands. Hunter followed him outside and continued to follow him until they reached some sort of dock, where Sebastian sat on the edge.

"You know this dock is probably really dirty right?" Hunter warned.

"So? I can always wash my clothes. Since when did you care about stuff like that?" Sebastian looked up, since Hunter hadn't sat down yet.

"No I was just- He sighed. "Nevermind." Hunter sat down next to Sebastian as he leaned back onto his arms. "This almost doesn't really seem like legitimate job."

"What do you mean?"

"Not much protecting so far." Hunter said making Sebastian chuckle.

"Well it's your first day and I went somewhere local, course there wouldn't be."

Hunter pursed his lips "Guess so… Thanks for taking me to this." Hunter wasn't dumb, he could see that going to the market wasn't all for Sebastian's own pleasure. Though he was curious why.

"Who said I went here for you?" Sebastian protested.

"Just a hunch." Hunter teased.

"Okay you caught me." Sebastian confessed and raised his hands up as if he was getting arrested.

"Why though?" He asked seriously, he couldn't explain why he wanted to know, but a large but of him wanted to know.

The other man shrugged trying to conceal the real reason he did all this, though Hunter kept a steady gaze on him. "I just wanted to do something nice I guess." He added scratching the back of his neck awkwardly, a light shade of red creeping onto his face.

Hunter noticed it, the whole job situation to him was pretty confusing. He never had a job before where he actually had live with his boss. It seemed a bit.. Personal.

"I guess I never expected you to remember me" Sebastian stated out of the blue.

Hunter's head snapped from the ocean, to Sebastian. "Remember you? Have we met before?"

He nodded, "In high school, I'm pretty sure we had almost every class together."

"Wait you're THAT Sebastian? You've changed a lot! You were always so quiet." Hunter felt stupid that he didn't remember.

"Yeah…" He muttered. Something that didn't change though was the massive crush I had on you…

"Wow…. I never would have guessed." He said again. "Everyone said you had some sort of crush on me, was that true?"

No Answer.

"Wait was that why I was picked for this job?"

Sebastian froze… This was a dumb idea. He started to get up. "Let's head home" But before he could fully stand up Hunter had stopped him, his hand on the model's wrists.

Instead of Hunter accusing Sebastian or getting upset, what he did was the complete opposite. He frowned and then leaned in to kiss him, catching Sebastian off guard. Though even if he was caught by surprise, he fully responded to the kiss, almost desperate. When they finally pulled away Hunter smiled largely.

"This is going to be quite the job."
