Anything!
« on: September 25, 2012, 08:27:56 pm »
Ykan Nabhendu managed to blend in with the rest of the crew most of the time. Well, that wasn't entirely true... he was pretty, not in a girly sense, just pretty. Most of the ruffians were... well average looking at best. On top of that he had a sort of class to him that the rest seemed to lack. Perhaps it wasn't that he blended in, it was more that he kept a low profile. He didn't fight and wasn't loud like the rest of the crew, he just flew under the radar when he wasn't being hit on.

Most of the time the blonde stuck to the kitchens where he and a few others cooked all the food for everyone on board the Arbitrary Angel. When he wasn't there, well, most people had no clue what he did. They had no idea that he would silently slip off to the captain's room, or go check on the kids in the brig, or orchestrate things behind everyone's back. They had no idea because Ykan didn't want anyone to know these things. He was seemingly just good looking kitchen crew.

It was after the dinner shift and as usual Ykan was standing in a quiet corridor outside the kitchen, standing under a vent and smoking a cigarette. He enjoyed a smoke after dinner, which he barely ate anyway, and this was one of the few nice quiet places to light up. He could of course do it in his room, but then it too would smell like smoke, and why would he want that? No, this was the best spot.

It was going on his third night in a row away from Darvish, and Ari intended to keep the streak up. Maybe he'd go even longer this time around.

He could have stayed another night with Bel, but had quickly decided against it. He needed to find someone new; staying in one place was a sure way of getting found. And the ship was large, but even it had only so many places to hide--and only so many places he even had access to. And Bel...Bel was better than Darvish, but still a dick--and a creepy one, at that. No, it was better to keep moving, try his luck, see if he could find a better sanctuary. Bel was a last resort.

But first, food.

He knew Darvish was going to kill him when he found him, because Darvish would know what this was as well as he did--a small rebellion, a small assertion of his autonomy--so he had to be extra careful, time everything around Darvish's schedule so he had a better chance of avoiding him. Ari waited until dinner was long over before he slipped out of Bel's room and headed to the kitchen. He needed to eat eventually, so hopefully the kitchen had some leftovers still out. Hell, maybe he could even help them out, because fuck, between all this skulking around, he'd also been looking for a job, a purpose, anything. Even just respect from the crew.

Like they could respect a fucktoy.

Moving cautiously, he slipped into the hall and jolted when he saw he wasn't alone, then cursed his nerves. The guy didn't even look anything like Darvish. Just one of the cooks; he'd seen him around.

Ari relaxed again and gave a little wave. "Hey. Hah, guess I missed dinner again, huh?"

Ari.

Ykan knew the white haired boy that approached him, he knew him well. Darvish's toy. Ykan hated that fucker... he had seen the lovely boys that Darvish used up and threw out and each time it broke his heart. He wanted to help them, wanted to intervene... but the captain had expressly forbid it. Darvish was allowed to have his toys and there was nothing that Ykan could do about it.

Fuck that.

He had been helping them for quite some time, secretly and quietly of course, but this one was special. Ari was stronger than the others... and unfortunately that was probably why Darvish liked him so much. This white haired beauty had lasted so much longer than the others had.

"Hey there." He had looked startled at first but then calmed down again. Well he was on edge and that was to be expected. It was good that he was getting out from under Darvish's wing at least. At least his note had worked... but it also meant that Ari was getting fucked by the rest of the scumbag crew. He took another drag of his cigarette and then held out the stick silently offering it to Ari.

The kid had to be tough here, and so treating him like a kid right now... out here, well it wouldn't help him any, he needed to feel empowered. "Mhmmm, dinner's over but I can get you some kitchen scraps if you ask nicely."

Ari readily accepted the cigarette and took a drag of it, and exhaled smoke through his nose. He'd never been much of a smoker; smoked a little when his friends offered, just to do it, but now that he was here...damn, he needed it, needed the relaxant. "Thanks," he said, took another puff, and handed it back over.

"Damn. Food would be great, but if ya got extras of those, too, ya should hook me up," he said, then forced a grin and added, "Pretty please?"

Ugh. He still wasn't very good at this. Wasn't very good at being...forward about shit like this. At least not here. It was one thing back home; he'd always been blunt and self-deprecating, came with being an artsy drama kid--you didn't have much shame or stage-fright or at least learned how to hide it behind a facade--and so he'd been a decent flirt, because he could hide his terror, play the part, and if it failed, he could laugh it off. Sometimes it worked, not that he'd had much experience. But that was with people he liked. People he wanted to date. People he wanted to spend time around and get to know better, go to movies, go to dinner, normal shit.

Not people he wished would choke and die. It made his skin crawl; it made him feel like shit, lower than shit, worthless. It was scary as fuck, too, and in a different way. But he did it. Because he had to.

And because this was his choice.

He slipped closer to the cook and slipped into his role, pictured this as a stage, just another rehearsal with him playing the cocky...whatever he was. He pressed a finger to the man's chest and finger-walked his way to his chin, smiled a sultry smile. "And if ya got room in your bed, I can ask extra nice."

The poor boy was really trying but Ykan knew that Ari was not a slut and did not want to flirt with him. It was purely a preemptive strike, self defense and self preservation. The kid was smart.

Ykan looked Ari in the eyes the whole time, his own magenta ones not showing his thoughts or emotions. It wasn't safe to give away that kind of information here.

Even the sexy, cute little finger walk did nothing for him because it was obvious to him that the white haired boy wasn't sincere... not that the rest of the crew would notice something like that. The blonde grinned and took another drag of his cigarette before giving the teen a sultry look for effect. "Hmmm~ well I suppose I can share a few smokes, some food, and my bed... but you better make it worth it."

With that he turned and nodded for Ari to follow him into the kitchen. Luckily no one seemed to be in the kitchen anymore but it was a constant performance on this ship... never knew who was watching what.

"Darlin', I'll blow your mind," Ari said as he followed Ykan into the kitchen, affecting a casual swagger though his body felt tense, hyper-aware of his surroundings as though that fucker would materialize from the shadows at any moment. If he di catch hide or hair of the douche, he was gone, but for now it seemed safe enough.

He leaned against one of the counters. "So, whatcha got to offer?"

Ykan went about grabbing some chicken and mashed potatoes from the walk in fridge and put some on a plate for the kid, along with some unknown stewed vegetable thing, and stuck it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. When that was done he grabbed a fresh dinner roll and put it on the plate with the rest and slid the whole thing down the counter toward Ari. "That's gunna have to do as far as a food offering... But it turns out I have an extra pack of smokes back in my room. There's probably a little extra space in my bed too."

The blonde retrieved a knife and fork and teasingly held them above the white haired boy's head. "Is that a good enough offer for some of this 'mind blowing'?" He leaned close to Ari, grinning. He was only teasing the poor kid, and it was mostly for show anyway. Part of him just wanted to see what the kid would do.

The height difference between them wasn't all that much--Ari had always been a tall kid and was still growing--so when Ykan held the silverware over his head, he rolled his eyes and reached up to snatch them from his hand.

"Pah, I've done more for less. I don't need a big carrot, s'long as it's juicy, if ya get me." With a sly grin, he leaned in, closing the inches between them, and pressed his lips to Ykan's.

The food offering might not be much, but it wasn't really the food he was most grateful for--it was the sanctuary.

He let the cute young thing kiss him but he didn't open his mouth or kiss him back. He reached behind Ari and picked up the plate. Didn't do the kid much good to have snatched the utensils if he didn't have the food to eat. Ykan pulled away and grinned a bit more. "Well bunny boy..." Ykan chuckled inwardly at calling someone else that for once. "Let's go to my room so you can enjoy your tasty juicy carrot~"

With that he headed toward the door, plate in hand.

Ari was very proud of himself for not breaking character, even as he felt bile rise in his throat. Bunny boy? Tasty juicy carrot?

Barf.

Hurl.

Oh, what the fuck had he started?

Whatever. He could deal.

"Oh yes, after you, kitten," Ari said, and followed along after Ykan as he lead the way, stomach growling. He stuck close beside the other man and went tense once they left the kitchen, ears straining and eyes darting, hyper-vigilant for any signs of Darvish.

Well they managed to make it to his room without incident at least. He knew which ways to go to avoid most people, so it wasn't as much of a problem. Once inside the safety of his small quarters Ykan set the plate down on his desk.

The blond then proceeded to flop down on his bed... which was covered in colorful stuffed animals, and hug one to his chest. He laid there for a moment before sitting up some like he just remembered something, and pulled a pack of cigarettes out from underneath the pile of animals. "Here kiddo, knock yourself out." He said tossing the pack to the kid. "Lemme know when you're done eating ok?" He said before curling up with the stuffed toy once more and rolling over on his side.

Once they were inside the room and the door was closed, Ari could breathe again. He hadn't realized it, but he had been holding his breath and his heart was beating to the point of bursting. He exhaled slowly and let the tension flow out of his muscles--some of it, at least. It never went away completely, and he hadn't forgotten the price that came with safety, selling his body to someone who would hurt him less.

He watched as the guy curled up in bed, and for a moment he just stared. Plushies? Really? Little weird. But he wasn't about to shit on this kindness and with how low he'd been brought, he was in no position to judge.

He caught the cigarettes out of reflex, blinked down at them, and quirked a grin. "Heh, thanks."

Stepping over to the desk, he took a seat at it, set the cigarettes down, and tucked into his meal with gusto. The cigarettes would be a nice dessert. It wasn't long before he's scraped up the final crumbs of his meal and it took some pride and willpower not to lick the plate. He set it aside and glanced over at the cook. "Done."

Ykan had tried not to watch the kid eat, he didn't want to creep him out or anything, but it made him happy to see the kid get a good meal. And to eat it with such enthusiasm. He only watched for a bit and then let his eyes drift closed for a few minutes.

When Ari declared he had finished Ykan opened his eyes again, sat up, and then hopped off the bed. "Good~" He said with a wide grin letting the stuffed animal in his arms fall to the ground. He made his way to where Ari sat and gently guided the other to stand before leading him to the bed.

In a matter of seconds Ykan had the top blanket off of his bed, plushies flying everywhere, the sheet pulled back and Ari pushed onto the bed. The top blanket was discarded on the floor and the sheet was easily tucked around the boy. Ykan smiled down at the other as he stood over the bed, only pausing briefly to ruffle that pretty white hair. "Goodnight kiddo." He said before turning out the light and curling up with the discarded plushies and blanket on the floor.

Ari could only let out a startled sound when the plushies went flying and he found himself shoved down onto the bed, back hitting the soft mattress as he stared up at Ykan in surprise. Fucking hell! This guy didn't waste any time at all! But before his mind could progress much farther than surprise, suddenly Ykan was...

...Tucking the sheet around him?

Ari blinked rapidly up at him as the guy ruffled his hair, wished him good night, turned out the light, and...curled up on the floor. After a moment, he realized he was literally frozen and that his mouth was hanging open, and he shut it before anything could fly in.

What...the...?

"That...that's it...?" he finally managed to get out, staring up at the dark ceiling.

Ykan rolled over on the ground so that he was facing the bed. He hugged one of his plushies to his chest and looked up at the kid in his bed. "Well, yeah. You need to get a good night sleep kid. I mean, it was fun to tease you for appearances but I'm not gunna try anything. Get some rest." It wasn't that he didn't want to, he just didn't want to with a cute kid that didn't really want him.

"Sweet dreams~" He said closing his eyes.

More silence followed as Ari absorbed that, still lying stock still and tense. When he could find his voice again, he managed a quiet, "Thanks..."

He didn't know what else to say. Didn't really know how to react. His entire existence here had been one of stress and fear and violation and loss, the loss of his family, his home, his life, and for the first time since he'd arrived here, for one night he didn't have to be afraid. The guy wasn't going to touch him. And he didn't have to do anything he didn't want to. He just got to sleep, to lay in a fucking bed for once and have that be it.

His throat tightened and he turned over onto his side and curled into a pillow, shutting his eyes tight as they began to burn and hating himself for it, for being so damned weak, because some of the other kids had it worse. Way worse. And hating that even though the guy had reassured him, he still couldn't shut away the fear that at any moment he'd feel hands sliding over him in the dark and it would be the same fucking thing all over again.

Seeing Ari like that was heart breaking. Damn. He wanted to hug the kid and tell him it would be ok, to pet his hair... something to soothe the teen, but it would only scare him. It would only hurt. Ykan thought about leaving the room so Ari could be alone and in peace, but the kid had to learn that Ykan really wouldn't touch him. That he was trust worthy. This kid needed an ally he could trust and Ykan would be that.

He rolled over and tried to pretend he didn't know what kid must be going through. He kept his back to the kid and just cuddled his plushie. They could talk more tomorrow.

Somehow, Ari fell asleep. It wasn't a restful sleep; his sleep hadn't been restful since coming here, but had been plagued by nightmares. It didn't help that he knew he was openly defying Darvish right now, and that things could go very badly later as a result. But it was a better sleep than he'd gotten in what felt like a long time.

He woke up some time later, but didn't move for a long time. Just laid there with his eyes closed, listening. Finally, when his bladder could take it no longer, he sighed and sat up, looking around the room sleepily.

Ykan had kept his word.

Ykan had been up for a while. He had gone off to breakfast duty and locked the kid in, but it didn't seem like Ari had woken up while he was gone. Poor thing needed the rest though. He didn't bother to wake the younger male, figured he'd let him sleep and just set his breakfast down on the desk for Ari. Ykan usually took his meals in his room so it wasn't an odd sight for him to be heading back there with a tray. No one stopped him or asked questions, a newer crew member did whistle at him but Ykan just flipped him off and kept going.

The other looked like he might start a fight but another mate stopped him, after all it was pretty well known that Ykan was the captain's bitch. Most people knew better than to fuck with him. Some assholes, like Darvish, didn't.

When Ari woke up Ykan saw him looking around, perhaps the kid was disoriented? "Good morning kiddo. I made you some breakfast. Are you hungry?"

Ari jumped at the sound of Ykan's voice, then relaxed at the sight of him. He was still on edge, though. Darvish would have noticed his absence by now.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Starvin', actually," he said, scratching the back of his neck. "Um, and I gotta piss like a horse. Please tell me the bathroom's really close by."

Not because he was afraid of not making it there, but because he didn't want  to risk an encounter.
