Pay With Your Body
"Who are you?" The man released Rei's waist before walking closer, leaning closer to inspect his face as he raised a brow.
Kyou shrugged, raising his hands with both his palms turned to the sky. "No one. Just another customer who needs a refill."
"Hmm..." The man hummed before turning his back on Kyou, walking back to Rei who stepped back. "Sadly, you have to find another person to serve you since I'm taking this guy home."
Kyou watched at how the man grabbed Rei's arm, pulling him closer which made the latter gasp in shock. Judging how Rei flinched, he can already tell how tight the man is holding onto his arm. This guy... He mentally cursed at the red-haired omega and the man he started calling smelly old man. Just when he was having a peaceful night away from their damn house, there they go... Completely ruining it. Plus this smelly old man only thinks of himself and releases his pheromones around the entire cafe. His pheromones don't even smell good!
He groaned as he massages his temple, feeling a headache forming. He has to deal with this quickly. He had too much shit in one day after all. He raised his head only to see the man dragging Rei as they walked towards the door of the cafe. Kyou even watched how much the red-hair struggles to remove his arm from the man's grip. It made him feel irritatingly awful at how weak he is that he face-palmed.
He stopped from his thoughts before whispering to himself. "Ahh... He is an omega. What do you expect, Kyou?"
He placed his cup on the nearest table before scrambling towards the two, pulling Rei using his left hand and gripping onto the man's wrist with the other. Rei's eyes widened as his face bumped onto Kyou's chest, feeling his cheeks heating up so he stood up properly. He watched how Kyou force a smile at the man who looked shocked and frustrated at what the black-haired young man did.
Kyou gripped tightly on the man's wrist which he didn't let go of as he tried his best to give his sweetest smile. "Sorry,
"What---" Rei tried to protest but stopped when he saw how Kyou immediately switched from his scary sweet smile to an utterly disgusted face.
"And if 'you' will continue to make a ruckus here, why don't you go out? You're disturbing me." Kyou grimaced, emphasizing the word 'You' as he tilts his head back slightly and makes their gaze follow down to look down at the man.
The man nervously huffed. "H-Huh! What did you say? Do you know who I am?"
"Do I need to know?" Kyou raised a brow, smirking clearly amused before glaring at the man, releasing his pheromone. "No, right?"
Rei found himself staring at Kyou, his hand on his chest and grabbing onto his shirt as he felt his heart throbbing and felt that he was out of breath again but it felt different. He is not trembling like when the man earlier released his pheromones. He felt somehow... Safe? The both of them just watched how fast the man grabbed his suitcase when Kyou released his wrist then hurriedly pay for his meal before walking out of the cafe.
"You." Rei sighed before glancing at Kyou who's still standing beside him, raising a brow at him. "Come with me..."
He grabbed Kyou's arm and pulled him away. The black-haired man obediently followed him which for Rei is weird. They stopped in a hallway that leads to their locker room slash staff room. He gently pushed Kyou towards the wall before crossing his arms, sighing.
"So?" The red hair glared at him. "What are you doing back there?"
Kyou also crossed his arms and leaned on the wall. "You need help, right?
"Y-Yeah. But---"
"I helped you. There's no deeper meaning to it." Kyou sighed, feeling irritated with how he is being questioned.
Why is he being questioned when he is the one who went through the trouble of helping him? Is it his fault that he finds irritating how weak Rei is that he subconsciously decided to help him? He glanced at the red hair and saw how his eyes blinking in shock. He groaned mentally, rolling his eyes in irritation. What does this guy want to hear from him?
"The two of you are irritatingly loud. That's why I helped you." The black-haired sighed, defeated. "And I honestly need a refill."
Rei raised a brow at him. "You? Helping me just because you think we are being loud? Without anything in return?!"
"Yeah," Kyou answered, nodding nonchalantly.
"But..." Rei placed his hand on his chin as he thinks to himself before whispering to himself. "You are the last person I am expecting to help me..."
This time, Kyou raised a brow and leaned closer to him. "Huh? Did you say something?"
"Nothing!" Rei exclaimed, turning his back to hide how red his face is while Kyou just stood there and looked at him like he was suspicious.
Kyou nodded, still raising a brow. "Hmm..."
"A-Ahem! N-Nevertheless..." Rei stuttered before turning his face towards the black-haired man, trying to act serious. "Thank you."
Rei almost cursed himself but prayed that Kyou won't notice how embarrassed he is. He didn't even know why he felt embarrassed! Maybe because he thought Kyou was a bad guy who scorned Omega so much? Did he judge him too fast? But he is still an Alpha so he must have some hidden agen---
"Heh? So you are thankful?" Kyou smirked, leaning and walking closer to Rei.
Rei looked straight onto Kyou's bright yellow eyes which are glinting mischievously. He starts to take a step back, uncrossing his arms but stopped when his back hit on the wall. Kyou placed his hand on his pocket as his face leaned closer to Rei's face, noticing how the latter's eyelid twitched.
"W-What are you doing?" Rei stammered, looking around and avoiding Kyou's intense gaze.
Kyou huffed, looking satisfied at how Rei was reacting before he whispered. "I changed my mind. I would be expecting payment for helping you, after all..."
"P-Payment? L-Like money...." Rei blinked, innocently. "Right?"
"Do you think I need your money?" Kyou raised a brow, smugly smirking. "Pay me. With your body."
"Wha-!!"
Rei just stood there, gaping in shock and feeling nervous at what he heard. What the hell is he thinking? Payment? With his body?! He grabbed onto his shirt, feeling how his heart reacted when he inhaled Kyou's faint pheromone. He mentally groaned. Damn. What the hell with this guy's pheromone? Just when he was about to grab Kyou's shirt and shake him until his soul leaves his body, he was cut off when a deep feminine voice spoke behind them.
"I won't tolerate any form of bullying in my cafe, Kyou."
The both of them turned around to look at the person who talked and saw a tall blue-black short-haired woman standing near them with her arms crossed, raising a brow at Kyou who just stepped back from Rei, shrugging at her. "Is that so? Then get better security and stop accepting shitty customers, Kotone."
