oOoOoOo

Alfred hated his job. He spent his days cleaning up the trash and messes of men who did nothing but squander the money of others in order to better themselves, and scrubbing bathrooms of their filth. His hours were long, and borderline illegal, but he needed the money to pay for food and for his small apartment. He didn't live in the best of areas, just down the street from several brothels, and police cars were always roaming the streets. It wasn't as if he lived there by choice-he was a nineteen year old orphan, his parents had died on a plane crash while on vacation, his father's middle class wages leaving nowhere near enough for him to live off of, let alone go to college. They had died right before his junior year of high school, and the boy had hardly been able to graduate-he'd picked up the janitor's job a few months after their death, and had been working it ever since. He sometimes even ran errands for his boss, just to pick up a bit of extra money, and it was one of those which he was doing at this point in time. He rode the bus over to his own street, honestly a bit surprised by the address, wondering what business his boss had in such an area. But Alfred wasn't paid to ask questions, and so he just hopped off the bus, the letter in his hands, and walked up to the little house. It was attached to the brothel, the ones they reserved for their top sellers-Alfred made a face to himself at the thought. There were actually times he'd considered it himself-selling yourself was easier than working 14 hours a day, sometimes more. But he still had his pride, and that was the one thing he refused to let go of. He sighed softly, hesitating for a moment before he knocked on the door. He heard the light thump-thump of footsteps from inside and then the door swung open, a rather irritated voice saying.

"It's too early for a customer, come back la-"

The man froze, one large eyebrow cocking in surprise. He was a rather attractive man, if not a bit on the wiry side as was obvious by the sweatpants he wore that hung low on his hips, and his very bare chest-Alfred's cheeks flushed, forcing his eyes back to his face). A small smirk made its way to the man's lips and he stepped forward, reaching out and trailing his fingers down Alfred's.

"For a cutie like you, though, I might make an exception."

"Ah, n-no, I didn't come here for that! Um, I think I got the wrong address…I'll just be going now!"

When he tried to back up, however, Arthur just snaked an arm around his waist, smirking and pressing up against him, tugging him back into the house.

"Come on, love-I'd make any exception for you. I could show you the best time you've ever had."

"I'm not i-interested!" Alfred squeaked, cheeks flushing deeper scarlet, but Arthur just chuckled and leaned up to kiss his jaw, whispering into his ear.

"Are you quite sure about that, love?"

Alfred blushed impossibly deeper, and Arthur just smirked triumphantly, kissing Alfred's ear and suckling on it a bit, causing a small noise to escape Alfred's throat. Arthur chuckled, tugging him all the way inside and closing the door. Alfred just looked at him, flustered from embarrassment.

"Um, b-but I can't pay you-"

"Oh, belt up. For an oppourtunity to sleep with an adorable piece of ass like you as opposed to those disgusting bastards I normally get, I'll forget about the charge."

Alfred swallowed nervously, nodding, and Arthur took that as a go-ahead, and with a smirk he captured the taller blonde's lips in a heated kiss, his fingers curling in his hair and the other hand holding onto his collar, fumbling with the buttons. Alfred froze for a moment, but then he started kiss him back-he was a young man, and it had been a few years since he'd done anything with someone. He felt Arthur humming in approval as he kissed him back heatedly, his hands on Arthur's waist. The other man moved his hands down to his hips, sneaking them up and massaging at his stomach lightly, undoing more of the buttons on his shirt until his chest was revealed entirely. Arthur broke the kiss, trailing little ones and nipping at the other man's jaw and neck before trailing back up to his mouth and kissing him again. Alfred mewled as Arthur's deft fingers continued to run up his chest, toying with the tender pink buds there, and Arthur took advantage of his parted lips to lick and suck at his lower lip before sliding his tongue inside. He massaged and tangled his tongue with Alfred's the other quickly turning into a quivering, moaning mess at his ministrations. Alfred was beginning to understand how Arthur had earned his position as top dog of his profession, moaning into his mouth. He jumped a bit when he heard a knock at the door, but aside from a light growl Arthur didn't seem to pay it any mind, continuing to kiss him passionately and playing with his nipples, properly distracting Alfred from the disturbance. The knocking persisted, but neither paid any mind to it, both of them breathing heavily as their lips parted slightly, still connected by their tongues. Arthur pulled back all the way at the sound of the lock clicking open, scowling as he looked over at the door.

"Go the fuck away, we're a little busy here!"

The man in the doorway just raised his eyebrows, frowning and crossing his arms as Arthur simply turned away and start kissing at Alfred's neck again, nipping and sucking at intervals, Alfred tilting his neck to give him better access.

"I never sent a customer to you."

"Well, this one just happened to wander in. Wasn't going to pass up on the opportunity, sir." Arthur said almost cheekily, pressing another kiss to Alfred's neck, and the man who Alfred assumed was the owner just gave him a look, tapping his foot.

"Well, you'll have to send him off-that important business owner called and said that he's coming in, and he's taking you for the entire night. I don't think he'd appreciate your…" Alfred gasped softly as Arthur bit down on his collarbone, kissing the spot apologetically, and the owner just rolled his eyes. ""Guest" being here when he arrives"

Arthur scowled, but nodded, starting to redo the buttons on Alfred's shirt as the man left, shutting the door behind him. Arthur sighed softly, pressing a light kiss to Alfred's cheek.

"Sorry about that, love. I'm not letting you go without at least a name and a promise to come back sometime." He murmured, kissing Alfred's ear and nipping it lightly, causing the taller blonde to shiver. "I don't like to leave things unfinished, and I'm not going to let a cutie like you go without showing you the best night you'll ever have."

Alfred squeaked as Arthur nipped at his ear again before pulling away, Alfred looking into his deep emerald eyes, his cheeks flushing even deeper. His heart was hammering in his chest, and he couldn't help the smile on his lips.

"Oh, um, my name is Alfred, Alfred F. Jones. I actually live just down the street…u-um, I suppose I could come back sometime, although I still won't be able to pay you." He flushed even deeper red, all the way to the tips of his ears. Arthur just chuckled softly, kissing his chin as he did up the last button on his collar.

"Alfred's a nice name, suits you. I get bored of the same ol' thing all the time, having a cutie like you is payment enough." He added, poking Alfred's nose and laughing softly. "Please do come by again, though…believe it or not, people like me do get lonely sometimes."

Alfred was surprised when Arthur pressed a soft, almost tender kiss, to his lips, cupping his cheek and letting his hand linger there for a moment even after he'd pulled away. He brushed a few strands of golden hair, tucking them behind Alfred's ear with a smile. Alfred just cleared his throat, nodding and smiling down at him, looking into his eyes.

"I'll definitely try to come by, after work sometime or something. I should get going, though…it was nice to meet you-ah, I don't think I ever caught your name."

"Hm? Oh, it's Arthur." Said blonde smiled, kissing his cheek and brushing his thumb over the cheekbone gently before drawing his hand back and winking. "You better come back soon, cutie. I haven't quite finished with you yet."

Alfred blushed, nodding and trying to ignore the way his heart fluttered in his chest at the thought of seeing Arthur again, doing stuff with him…he shook his head, smiling at Arthur. After a brief moment of indecision he leaned over and pecked him on the lips sweetly, turning bright scarlet as he scuttled away to grab his letter right after and waved at Arthur.

"See ya later, then!"

Alfred smiled to himself, swearing he could see Arthur waving back to him before he closed the door behind himself.

oOoOoOo

Alfred worked all that evening until, only finally making it home around 5 AM, completely exhausted, but…for some reason he couldn't fall asleep, even after a warm shower and cup of cocoa he kept for such purposes. He tossed and turned under his comforter, and finally he just got back out of bed, tugging on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt. He grabbed his keys and phone before he headed outside, simply wandering down the street. After a short while, however, he found himself standing out in front of the little house that belonged to Arthur. He paused for a moment, figuring the other man was probably sleeping-it was rather early in the morning-but…he took a deep breath and walked up the steps, knocking on the door politely. After a long, tense moment he thought the other man was probably asleep and was about to turn and leave, but then the door swung, leaving a slightly irate looking Arthur, a cigarette resting between two fingers.

"What the hell do you want? This better be importa-shit." He sighed, seeming to suddenly recognize who it was, running his fingers through his hair and leaning against the doorway, taking a drag from his cigarette. "Sorry, love, I didn't mean to yell at you…it was just a really long, rough night, and I've gotten maybe half an hour's sleep. I know I told you to come back, but you picked one of the worst possible times…"

"Oh, n-no, I'm sorry…um, I was just having trouble sleeping so I went out for a walk and wound up here. I forgot that you work all night, though, I'm so sorry, I-I should go back home so you can go back to bed. I can come back later, I don't have to work until five-"

Arthur just cut him off by placing a finger over his mouth, chuckling softly and pressing a soft peck to his lips.

"Hush now, love, you can come in." Arthur chuckled, turning and walking inside, gesturing for Alfred to follow him. The younger smiled and followed him in, noticing Arthur's ears turning red as he took note of the rather messy room.

"Ah, sorry about the mess…the customer I had was a complete and utter slob."

"It's okay." Alfred replied, laughing softly and yawning. Arthur just smiled over at him, cleaning up a bit and gesturing to the couch.

"Make yourself at home, I suppose. I still need to clean up a bit…" He made a face at that. "Will you be alright sitting out here until I'm done?"

Alfred nodded, smiling as he sat down on the couch, Arthur smiling back and walked over to kiss his temple and tweak his nose before he went to the bathroom to take a shower and brushed his teeth. Alfred waited on the couch patiently, yawning, and when Arthur stepped back out he suddenly felt his cheeks warm. The other blonde was wearing the same thing he had been when Alfred first saw him, only a pair of rather baggy sweatpants that showed off his defined hipbones and flat stomach quite wonderfully. Alfred swallowed nervously, Arthur simply smirking, jutting his hip out and putting his hand on it.

"Like what you see, cutie?"

Alfred just swallowed again, nodding as Arthur practically sauntered over, his hips swinging a bit teasingly. He sat down on the couch next to him, wrapping his arms around Alfred's neck and kissing his jaw lightly.

"Mm so why did you have trouble sleeping, love?" he murmured, nuzzling against the hollow of his neck a bit. Alfred flushed, a bit flustered.

"I was just, ah, thinking." About you, he added in his head, which didn't help him any. "I'd been working all night, so logically I should have been very tired, but for some reason I couldn't sleep, even after a nice warm shower and some cocoa-ah, sorry, you probably don't want to hear about all that boring stuff." He added, blushing, but Arthur just pressed a kiss to his temple and another to his cheek. He was surprised at how gentle Arthur was being with him, all the light touches and sweet little kisses…it was almost endearing. It had been years since Alfred had someone who treated him so tenderly, and he hadn't expected it out of someone in Arthur's profession-all of the prostitutes he had the unfortunate chance to meet had always been rather rough. But Arthur had been nothing but gentle-well, aside from the little nips and bites he'd peppered all over his neck before, but it wasn't as if Alfred had objected. He flushed at the thought and he could have sworn that Arthur giggled.

"You have to be the most precious thing ever, Alfred." He kissed his cheek again as Alfred sputtered a bit in embarrassment, standing up. "Let me grab a couple things, I'll be right back."

He walked out of the room, returning with a couple pillows and a blanket (clean, thankfully-he always kept spares), setting the pillows against the arm of the couch. He laid down across the cushions, tugging Alfred down onto his chest, the other squeaking a bit in surprise which made Arthur laugh again, cuddling the younger to his chest and draping the blanket over him. He kissed Alfred's temple, chuckling softly.

"Let's get some sleep, alright, love? And then when we awake we can finish what we started." He winked, chuckling at the blush that spread back over Alfred's cheeks. He kissed his lips softly, Alfred kissing him back, the kiss tender-almost loving, if they were willing to admit it. His cheeks were pink when they broke apart and a smile was on his face. He closed his eyes, nuzzling up under Arthur's chin, yawning as the exhaustion finally caught up with him. He snuggled up in Arthur's arms, for some reason feeling completely contented and safe in his embrace, even though they had just met the day before. He yawned again, managing to mumble a soft "G'night, Artie" before he drifted off into a dreamless, sound sleep to the sound of Arthur's soft chuckle.

"It's not really night, but….sleep well, love."

oOoOoOo

Alfred woke up, arms wrapped snugly around Arthur and their legs tangles together, still nuzzling up against his neck. When he finally forced his eyes open he glanced blearily over at the clock across the room, straightening out his glasses so he could see…only to immediately curse and disentangle himself from Arthur, shooting up. It was six o' clock-he was an hour late for work, would be another hour more even if he left right now. He groaned-he had always made it a habit to be at work on time, if not early, not wanting to risk losing his job. He heard Arthur stirring behind him, yawning and sitting up, stretching.

"Mm I'd forgotten it was even possible to sleep for so long." He cast a glance over at Alfred, raising a brow curiously. "What's wro-oh, right, you'd mentioned having to be in work by five. Just call in sick, love, your boss is probably a pretentious arse anyway. Besides, I believe we have some unfinished business…" he smirked, grabbing Alfred's wrist and tugging him back into his lap, beginning to nip, lick, and suck at the exposed skin on his neck. Alfred blushed, a small noise escaping his throat at the touch, which only made the suggestion all the more tempting.

"Nnh but I'd-ahn!-miss out on the money…" Even as he said the words his eyes fluttered shut, tangling his fingers in Arthur's feathery soft hair and tilting his head more to give him better access to the sensitive skin of his neck. He groaned, pulling his phone out and fumbling with the keys, telling his boss that he wouldn't be in-he was forced to bite his lips several times to keep small noises from escaping them, since Arthur hadn't stopped his actions the entire time. He finally hung up after promising his boss he'd make up the hours and then he shut his phone, tossing it aside and turning to face Arthur, the other man busying himself with slipping his hands up Alfred's sweatshirt, tugging both it and the t-shirt underneath over his head and tossing it aside, ruffling Alfred's hair in the process. Arthur let his hands rove over Alfred's chest, occasionally flicking at his nipples, licking the shell of Alfred's ear and biting on the lobe lightly, causing a quiet mewl to escape Alfred's mouth. He could already feel himself getting aroused and he grabbed Arthur's cheeks, smashing their lips together in a hungry, needy kiss. Arthur kissed back with the same ferocity, his tongue licking at Alfred's lower lip. His fingers tangled in Alfred's golden locks, his other hand still rubbing at his chest and eventually trailing around his side. He squeezed Alfred's butt lightly, causing the other to squeak and break the kiss. He chuckled, opening his eyes slightly to look into Alfred's, the blue darkened with lust.

"Just tell me what you want, cutie, and I will do it, and make it ten times better than any lovers you've ever had in the past."

Alfred flushed deeply, looking back into his eyes, hesitating for a moment-it had really been awhile since he'd had anything other than his hand. He swallowed nervously.

"I want…I just want you. Y'know, um….inside me."

"As you wish, love."

Arthur chuckled, flipping their positions so that he was on top of Alfred, straddling his hips. He pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth before he captured his lips in another needy kiss, trailing the kisses down his jaw, his neck, all the way to his collarbone and tanned chest. He smirked when he came to his nipples, taking one of the sensitive buds in his mouth, lapping at it and sucking, using his hand to abuse the other, causing Alfred to writhe and moan loudly. His back arched off the couch and Arthur could feel his erection pressing up against the fabric of his jeans. Arthur continued to suckle and nip at his nipple, his hand now trailing down his chest lightly until he got to his crotch, palming him through the fabric, Alfred mewling loudly. He licked the nipple one last time before looking at Alfred, green eyes almost black from lust.

"Feeling good, love?"

"Oh, God, yes…" Alfred moaned deep in his throat, his next words almost a whine. "Please, Arthur, more…"

"Of course, cutie, your wish is my command." Arthur murmured, kissing back up to Alfred's mouth, kissing him roughly, his tongue dipping inside as he continued to palm him, rubbing a bit, causing the boy underneath him to moan and arch up into the touch more. Arthur paused, causing a whine to escape Alfred's throat, but then he ran his fingers along the waistband of his pants lightly. He was being so slow and gentle, which was so unlike him, but Alfred was different, Arthur actually wanted to spend time, to savour this. He unzipped the jeans and slid them down, along with Alfred's boxers, an tossed them aside. He hummed in approval at what he saw, causing Alfred to blush bright scarlet. He peppered kisses down the boy's chest, stopping right before he got to the area that was simply begging for attention. He hitched Alfred's leg onto his shoulder, smirking at him as he licked at the tip of his head, lapping at the precum that was already coming out.

"Still okay, love?"

"Oh, God, yes, very, very okay…" Alfred moaned, his hips thrusting upward slightly, his voice once again taking that almost whining tone. Arthur chuckled and nodded, letting his tongue ghost over Alfred's cock before he took him in his mouth, sucking and humming and he began to bob his head a bit. Alfred let out a very loud moan, having to use all his will not to buck his hips, to thrust inside that wonderful warmth. Arthur continued with that for a short while, reducing Alfred to a panting, mewling mess easily, and this time the whine was quite evident when he released him from his mouth with a pop. He just smirked, tugging off his sweatpants and boxers before digging around under the pillow where he'd stowed the supplies the night before, popping open the top of the lubricant. He rubbed his fingers to make sure it was warm before positioning one in front of Alfred's entrance, kissing his lips softly.

"Sorry if it hurts, love."

He pushed the first one in, causing Alfred to gasp softly, but then it turned into a moan as Arthur started moving the finger in and out, and then added the second one, then a third, stretching him. It was uncomfortable at first, but then the pleasure was easily overriding the pain and Alfred was moaning and mewling loudly. When he pulled the fingers out Alfred whined once again, but he just hushed him with a kiss, rolling the condom onto his cock and making sure he was properly lubricated before he began to push in slowly. Alfred arched up, moaning loudly and clutching onto Arthur's back. Arthur moaned as well, dipping his head down onto Alfred's shoulder.

"Ahn, f-fuck, Alfred, you're so…good…"

As soon as Alfred was ready Arthur started moving his hips, taking as much care as he was capable of in that moment not to go too fast, but Alfred was just so tight and it felt absolutely amazing. The younger male was rocking his hips in time with his thrusts, and soon enough Arthur heard him cry out, smirking and knowing that he'd found exactly what he'd been looking for, angling his hips to his that spot again and again.

"Ngh, Arthur-a-ah!" Alfred moaned loudly, his toes curling and his eyes fluttering shut, his entire mind seemingly melted by the pure pleasure coursing through his veins. The both of them kept moving harder and faster against each other until Alfred felt that familiar heat coiling and then he orgasmed, clutching onto Arthur tightly, his entire body shuddering with the force of it. Arthur came moments later, crying out Alfred's name. He collapsed onto Alfred's chest, both of them panting, and he pressed a kiss under his chin with a smile.

"So was it as good as you expected?"

"Better." Alfred murmured, kissing the top of his head. Arthur just smirked triumphantly, pulling himself out and discarding the condom. He wrapped his arms around Alfred, the other blonde nuzzling against his cheek sweetly. Their gazes met and for some reason Alfred found himself being drawn into those eyes…he blushed, smiling at Arthur. The other kissed his lips softly, chuckling and cupping his cheek gently. It was weird, that he wanted Alfred to stay-first, he never slept with someone without being paid, and if they even tried to overstay their welcome he would yell at them until they left. But he was content to snuggle up on Alfred's chest, close his eyes briefly and simply listening to his breathing slowly calm down, his heartbeat return to its normal cadence. He hummed contentedly, opening his eyes again and tilting his head so he could look at Alfred, kissing his collarbone lightly.

"Mm so, cutie, you planning on sticking around for a bit?" he asked softly, tucking some of Alfred's golden hair back behind his ear. Alfred just blushed, smiling at him and nodding.

"Sure thing…I don't have to work again until the morning, although I'll probably be pulling a longer shift to make up for missing work today…" He pulled a face at the thought of so many hours of work, but it was completely worth it, in his mind. "I'll have to leave before it gets too late, though, since I assume you don't want me sticking around when you have, ah, other people here."

Alfred was surprised to feel a slight twisting in his gut when he thought of Arthur sleeping with other people-it was ridiculous, they'd only just met, but…there had been a spark, when they kissed, and when they'd made love-and see, he was already referring to it as a sweet act rather than a simple bout of sex. It had felt like so much more than that to him…and he wondered if it had to Arthur too. Arthur just grimaced, nodding and taking Alfred's hand in his own, kissing the fingertips almost absently.

"As if I would let an adorable little thing like you anywhere near those bastards. Sorry about making you miss work though." He added softly, but Alfred just shook his head, laughing softly.

"Oh, believe me, it was well worth it. 'Sides, I can just make up the time tomorrow, it's no big deal."

Arthur just shook his head, sighing and kissing his palm.

"The sex might have been great, but that still doesn't make up for the fact that I made you miss out on precious wages. Tell you what-next time you have a day off, let me take you out somewhere."

Alfred just gaped at him, and then his cheeks flushed and he waved his hands, flustered.

"Ah, n-no, I can't ask you to do something like that just for me! You probably need that money, you should really save it and spend it on something else!" His voice was squeaking now, and Arthur couldn't help but smile at how adorable he looked. "I mean, you're already letting me get away without paying you, and you should spend the money on more important things and-"

"Alfred, love, just hush for a moment." Arthur chuckled, cupping his cheeks and kissing his nose lightly. "Do you realize how little I actually spend money? Aside from the expenses I have to pay my boss, I really don't have to spend anything, so I have a decent amount saved. Just humour me, Al, alright? It's been so long since I've been on a proper date."

Alfred just looked at him, blushing and finally nodding, smiling softly.

"Alright, if you're sure…it's been years since I've been on one either, so it actually might be rather nice to go on a date of some sort."

"Excellent." Arthur beamed, pecking his lips sweetly. "We'll have to plan one for one of your days off, maybe I could even persuade my boss to let me have one as well. Then it can be just me and you again, and-"

A knock came at the door causing both of them to start, Arthur groaning as a voice called out.

"Rounds are starting soon, Arthur, I'll be sending you a customer soon so better be ready!"

"Alright." Arthur called back, sighing softly and giving Alfred an almost sad smile and kissing his lips gently before he moved off of him. "You better get heading off, dear. I'll see you soon, alright?"

"Can do." Alfred nodded, getting up off the couch with the slightest wince-Arthur smirked at that-but then he was shocked to feel strong arms wrapping around him and hugging him tightly. "Thanks for the wonderful evening. I'll try to stop by when I'm not working and make sure I don't interrupt you or anything. See you then!"

Alfred kissed his temple, squeezing him one last time before he let go, grabbing his clothing and throwing them on and pressing one more kiss to Arthur's lips before he left, waving over his shoulder. Arthur waved back, smiling to himself as he watched the other blonde through the window until he was out of sight

oOoOoOo
