For Kili setting into the routine of work and occasional sex was easy and difficult at the same time. It seemed their affair or whatever anyone would call it, was just rare session of sex from time to time. It would happen in the office, or he would get a message to meet him at his place. The boy felt apprehensive at first, but then he decided to play by ear. He took any affection he would get, he would be happy of any kiss and of any closeness. At the office it was all the same, cold stiff atmosphere, but the general office showed him lots of sympathy and warmness. Even Thorin the CEO showed him lots of appreciation and respect. He got a higher salary every passing month, and he would fulfill any task given to him without question. His heart ached from time to time seeing the coldness, but the heated sessions would keep him warm inside.
Everything changed nearly eight months after their first time together. One day a beautiful model walked into the office, and before Kili could even say anything she went into the office and kissed Fili deeply. Kili watched the man smile at her, and take her hand. Kili's heart sank, but he immediately made sure his eyes didn't show anything. The next weeks were the worst in Kili's life. He didn't need much, but at least those heated sexual session would calm his nerves. Now it was hell, the girl called Gizelle would walk in anytime she wanted. She would sit in Fili's lap, they would practically make out in the office. Kili without blinking would fulfill any order starting from sending flowers to her, to booking restaurants and buying presents. Kili's heart became cold during those weeks, before he was convinced he loved his boss, but now he was empty. He stopped caring. The third month after Gizelle flipped his life upside down, his life did another upside down flip. Bilbo his beloved guardian had a serious car accident. The doctors' said he would be in a pharmacologically induced coma for at least a week and later he would stay in hospital for a long time. The restaurant needed someone to manage it, but the most pressing issue were the custody rights to Frodo and Ori. Bilbo was the best person in the world in Kili's opinion. He continued the family tradition of taking care of people, and that way he became the foster family for Kili, Nori, Dori, Ori and later his nephew Frodo. Nori and Dori were already eighteen and nineteen, but at the moment of the accident Frodo was just fourteen and Ori sixteen. Kili realized it was his duty as the oldest to help his family.
The next day Fili was surprised to see his secretary waiting for him in the office. He felt a brief moment of pain, he still wanted the boy more than any other person in the world, but it was time to cut the bond. Gizelle was a great companion, and thought she could not make him feel anything more than sympathy she was too greedy to pay attention to details like his desirable male secretary in the office. They boy never reacted to her presence, he was as polite as always. Somehow Fili was hoping the boy would react, show some jealousy or sadness, but he was cold as stone. Fili missed those nights they would spend together, he missed the kisses and the sex. He missed those fancy breakfasts and the long working evenings with sex as an ending note. But it was time to move on. It was time to erase all hope the boy might have, to gain some distance.
"Is there a problem?" Fili asked looking at the boy suspiciously.
"I need to take a leave." The boy finally told him.
"Since when and for how long?" Fili asked his voice ice cold.
"Tomorrow, at least three or four weeks." The boy finally replied.
Fili stared at him in shock. "No!" was his only answer.
"Then I'll leave my resignation at HR." Kili replied coldly.
"Fine!" Fili replied. "Who needs you here anyway." He told the boy not caring what kind of message he was sending.
The boy went out with his head down and went straight to the HR department. He informed the HR he would be gone since the next day and he went back into the office to finish any urgent matters.
