Hold Me

Chapter 2

"Bastian, wake up."

"..."

"Bastian..."

Superboy opened his eyes in confusion to the name and, more particularly, to the hand caressing his inner tight.

Oh right... there he was Bastian, not Superboy. The young hero smiled as he responded to his client's fondling with an affectionate kiss.

"Were you dreaming with me?" A black haired guy in his mid-twenties asked with a mischievous smile as the teenager pulled away from the kiss.

The last client of the night used to be him. He went by the name of Herc, short for Heracles. At 27 years of age he had developed a body that would make the Greek hero proud, something that one should expect from someone who gained his life as a wrestler.

Bastian certainly found it comforting to have a client like that coming for him almost every week. He liked the broad shoulders and the defined muscles he had, but most of all he liked the dark blue eyes that would look at him whenever they were together.

Herc also was different from all the other clients the young hero had, the older guy would always talk to him as if they had been friends for years, the wrestler would even try to ask to hang out with him during the week, but Bastian had to refuse those offers, after all, Bastian only existed one night per week.

"Have you thought about my offer?" Herc asked as he started gathering his clothes from the floor, apparently he had taken a shower while the youngster slept.

"I already told you, I only do this job once per week." Bastian stretched on the bed. "The rest of the week I'm busy with other things."

"Are you sure? It would be only for two weeks." The older guy stroked his companion's hair. "And I would pay you the worth of a month of your 'services'."

Though the idea of spending two weeks accompanying the wrestler during his holidays on Canada sounded more than appealing, Superboy knew that it would be suicidal to ask Batman for two weeks off.

"I'm sure"

"Well... I guess I'll see you again in two weeks then." Herc handed some bills to Bastian before giving him a last kiss.

Bastian took his contact lens off once his favorite client left the room. His last encounter of the night was always like that; he would get paid, be left alone and change back to being Superboy, member of the Young Justice.

Using the hotel room's shower and a bottle he always carried when on his weekly routine, he got rid of the blue highlights and messed his hair a bit, he would return his hair to its usual style once he was near the cave.

Once changed into his clothes, Superboy left the room, leaving his life as Bastian until the next week came, but carrying with him the feeling of affection and love that his clients have given to him.

"Did you miss me, boy?" The Kryptonian clone asked while hugging his beloved Wolf, who had practically tackled his master down once he crossed the hangar door.

Sphere soon arrived, some noises coming out of her in look for attention.

"Sphere..." Superboy put a finger over his own lips to ask the alien artifact to be silent. Once she complied, the young hero took care of gently patting her friend while still hugging wolf with his other arm.

"Supey?"

The teenager froze as he looked at his red haired friend, who stood by the area connecting with the lounge, wearing a pair of red boxers with a loose light blue t-shirt as pajamas.

"What are you doing here so early?" Wally yawned as he scratched his side.

"Couldn't sleep..." Superboy maintained his cool, trying to avoid suspicions to fall over him."Me and Wolf went for a walk."

"Oh..." The speedster was still half asleep as to dig more into details. "I woke up hungry, so I was preparing something when I heard Sphere... I can make something for you if you want to."

The dark haired teen nodded as he released Wolf before standing to walk pass his friend, Wally followed him, leaving Sphere to rest in the hangar.

Once in the lounge the speedster resumed 'the process of art' that was preparing a sandwich that could satisfy his needs. Superboy let himself flop into the couch, Wolf lying by his side on the floor.

"... I didn't know you had clothes without your shield." The freckled teen pointed as he noticed the red tank top.

"I... I bought some without it once I started attending school... remember?"

"Oh, right..." Wally finally started to feel more awake as he finished his piece of art. "But... It's the first time you use something without that shield out of school."

"R-rare, but not the first time." Superboy quickly lied. "You just don't spend all your time here, that's why you didn't see me with something like this before."

"Don't whojy." The red haired teen gave bites to his food and talked as he prepared a smaller version of it for his friend. "Onch hojitays" He swallowed. "come, we'll spend more time here with you."

Superboy smiled, it would be fun to have his friends hanging on the cave more often for the next two weeks. Maybe he could take those weeks off from his weekly routine... nah, he enjoyed that too, no reason why he couldn't enjoy both things.

–

After the not so little snack, both young heroes returned to their respective rooms, Superboy accompanied by Wolf as usual.

"I still don't know what I should do with this..."

The Kryptonian clone counted the money he had received that night before hiding it in a box at the back of his underwear drawer, along with the money he had earned the previous weeks.

He had been thinking on what to use that money for... he had already used it to get his contact lens and the gels to dye and un-dye his hair... but that didn't even cover a 10% of what he gained in one night.

"Any ideas?" He turned to Wolf, who had dozed off by the feet of his bed. "Best idea... for now."

The young hero read the hour on the clock over his desk; 4AM... he probably would be able to sleep two or three hours, and as relaxed as he was now, he knew it would be one of those sleeps that would feel like if he had slept for days.
