⎾ MOROSIS ⏌

[xDarkWinterx]

Kieran hadn’t asked Miguel merely to be rhetorical, or to tease him. He seriously wanted to know. Kieran had seen the pain against his body, but he didn’t know what he was thinking. He knew questioning Miguel was merely out of being polite. Kieran watched as Miguel shook his head at his question. He already knew the answer, but he didn’t want it to seem like he was ignoring Miguel. Kieran wasn’t mad at him after all, he understood the position he was in as well.

Driving down the street, Kieran didn’t know where he was going. He was merely just driving waiting for Miguel to tell him where to go. Kieran figured Miguel would, when he needed him to turn. He nodded as Miguel spoke responding to his question. ”I would say I told you so, but it wouldn’t do any good...I’m sorry for how Abel treated you.” Kieran spoke softly, as he continued driving. He wasn’t as cruel as not to apologize even if he had done nothing. After all it wasn’t like Abel would apologize for trying to assault him.

Couldn't blame a guy for thinking he might be made fun of. After all, he was sure if the other men caught wind of what went down tonight, they would be cackling at his misfortune for days to come. He thought it was pretty obvious how much pain he was in at the moment, physically. If the male was sincere, then he appreciated his concern. Though it was hardly needed. He could take care of himself.

At the moment, he really didn't care if Kieran got him all the way home. He almost didn't even want to go home. But he also knew they could drive around all night. Abel was probably already having a fit at Kieran for letting him go. He didn't want to cause anymore trouble for the man than he had to. He listened to Kieran speak again. By all means, he had every right to tell him I told you so. He half expected Kieran to be throwing a parade because he knew. He knew and he warned him and Jakob did not heed it. He frowned as Kieran then went on to apologize on behalf of Abel. "Don't apologize for him." he replied quietly. "That a*****e could have just thrown me out of the house. But nooo....Turn left at this next light." Jakob knew that Kieran meant well, but honestly. It wasn't needed. Now if Kieran had been in that room as an active party, then sure. He would have taken his apology. But otherwise, he didn't want to hear it.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

At the moment, he couldn’t blame Miguel for not going home. Kieran wasn’t in the mood either. He wasn’t scared of Abel, after all he knew he would never hurt him. If anything he trusted Abel, even if he was an a*****e. Kieran had known Abel practically almost his whole life. As scary as it seemed to the outside world, he trusted Abel with his life. He knew if he needed anything, he would be there for him as he would do the same for Abel.

Kieran didn’t need Miguel or anyone else understanding their relationship. He knew he had done nothing wrong, especially as he had stopped Abel from hurting Miguel further. Kieran wasn’t the type to participate in Abel’s games. He knew what the man could do. Kieran did not want to be part of such things. He enjoyed things rough, but not enough to kill a man and get a thrill from it.

Listening to Miguel speak, he nodded. Kieran knew his apology wouldn’t compare as Abel’s would. However Abel would never apologize, for he didn’t see himself in the wrong. He listened as Miguel spoke about Abel, hearing he next directions. Kieran moved over from the right lane and into the left. Stopping at the light he glanced toward Miguel. ”Yes, he could have thrown you out of the house, but that would not have been a warning.” He spoke as he soon turned left at the light continuing down the road.

Kieran didn’t mind if Miguel wanted to drive around all night, hell he would even rent a hotel room if Miguel needed to wind down before dragging himself home. He couldn’t blame him for being worried what his boss would think. ”Am I driving you home, or would you rather go somewhere else?” Kieran asked curiously, he wasn’t offering up a hotel for sexual interest but merely so Miguel could gather himself and take the time to heal if need be.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

He couldn't see how anyone could think of Abel as trustworthy. Let alone be friends with him. The man was an absolute nightmare. He could only imagine what a horrible little s**t he must have been growing up. Scratch that, he didn't need that mental image. If he wanted to give himself a sleepless night he could simply think how much worse tonight could have gone. But he preferred to retain the rest of his sanity. It didn't really surprise him that Abel would not apologize for his actions. He seemed the type to be lacking in remorse and viewed reality differently from the rest of society.

Jakob watched as the male nodded to his words. The car gently moving across the lanes to make the next turn. As the car came to a stop, he couldn't help laughing softly at the males words. "Yes because nothing says stay out of my house like beating the crap out of someone and tying them to the rafters." he replied sarcastically. He understood what Kieran meant. That didn't mean he had to like it. He watched the light change and Kieran steer the car down the next street.

He didn't really feel like going home tonight. It wasn't just because of the other men or his boss. More like he didn't want to be alone. It had been a long time since he had such a close encounter. It didn't sit well with him. He wasn't normally this reckless. Hearing the male speak again he shrugged. "Desperate to get rid of me that badly?" he asked. He looked back down at his lap after speaking. He didn't know why he just said that. Kieran had been nothing but nice to him. He shouldn't be such an a*****e to him. "I'm sorry.....I just....Are you doing anything tonight?" he asked curiously.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

Kieran was in no rush to get rid of Miguel. He didn't mind spending time with him. It wasn't as if he was rushing to get home either. From the way Miguel was acting, he didn't think he wanted to go home either. Kieran didn't blame him. He knew what had been done to him had not been expected. If anything Miguel probably thought Abel would be an easy kill and he'd be home in time for dinner, but that was not the case.

Driving he listened as Miguel laughed at his words as if they were funny. Kieran knew Miguel was merely trying to cope with what had happened to him. As he drove, he made a right turn heading in the direction of a hotel he knew close by. Kieran didn't care if Miguel objected after he was the one with the car.

Hearing Miguel speak, Kieran shook his head at his question. ”Not in the least.” He responded was he continued toward the hotel. Kieran glanced at Miguel was he questioned him. He shook his head, ”No, I didn't have any plans tonight… Are you hungry?” Kieran asked knowing the hotel had room service.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Jakob was in absolutely no mood to go home. He'd much prefer to wallow in his own failure. The only problem was, he didn't exactly feel like wallowing alone. Kieran was right about one thing. He underestimated Abel. He'd done his research, dug up more than he needed. He thought he knew Abel and he still got his a** handed to him. It was more than a failure, it was a disgrace.

At the moment bitterness and sarcasm were all he had holding him together. He worried if he gave in to his feelings, he would simply crumble in this very seat. He did not know if Kieran would be accepting of a good old fashioned meltdown. It was kind of hard to tell at the moment seeing as he was being so gentle. Though he would be lying if he said he didn't appreciate his kindness. He watched the male drive down the road he instructed him to take before turning down another. He had no idea where Kieran planned on taking him. It had to be anywhere better than Abel's torture room and being alone with his thoughts at home.

Jakob smiled a bit as the male admitted to not trying to get rid of him. It was good to know he wasn't a complete burden. He sat up a bit as he grew curious to where they were going. He felt the males eyes on him again as he was then questioned. "Starving." he replied honestly. Jakob had eaten before coming out tonight. Somehow though he felt as if he'd gone all day without eating. He wasn't craving anything in particular, though a little comfort food would be great right about now.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

There was no reason for him to get rid of Miguel so fast. After all he wasn't going to throw him on some random curb and drive away. Kieran didn't want to go back home either to deal with Abel. He much rather spend his time with Miguel.

Kieran didn't mind if Miguel asked him where they were going, after all it could was only reasonable. He continued down the road nearing the hotel. Kieran watched as Miguel perked up at his question of food. He smiled as he spoke not surprised he was hungry. Kieran could understand forgetting to eat.

It didn't take long before he pulled into the driveway of the Waldorf Astoria hotel. Kieran drove toward the parking lot. He parked the car turning it off. Kieran slipped out of the car waiting at the back for Miguel.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

There usually didn't have to be a reason for someone to just toss another person out on the curb. In this case though he was happy that Kieran wanted to stick around a little longer. As odd as he found him to be, he was strangely comforted by his company. He was curious enough to want to learn more about him, get to know him if Kieran would let him.

Jakob could only guess where the man might be taking him. At the moment he didn't really care. Just so long as it wasn't somewhere equally or more unpleasant than where he just left. At the mention of food, he felt like he hadn't eaten for days. Maybe it was all that adrenaline or the minor panic attack that was making him hungry. Either way, he knew he could go for something warm and full of carbs.

He sat up a little straighter as the man steered them further down the street and into the parking lot of a large hotel. He stared up at the large building with a curious gaze. The place looked entirely out of his pay grade. Hell, it looked out Kieran's pay grade. Where they staying here? He glanced wearily towards Kieran. As the car was park and the engine was cut, he knew he had no choice but to get out. He unbuckled his seat belt and picked up his bag as he got out of the car. Shutting the door behind him, he walked around the car to join the man at the trunk. His lower back was aching with each step, but he didn't allow it to show on his face.

Jakob quietly followed Kieran across the parking lot and through the large sliding glass doors. The lobby was equally large and elegant. He glanced again towards Kieran, wondering if he was sure about this. He didn't think they could even afford to loiter here. He waited for the male to once again take the lead as he felt completely unsure of where he was supposed to go.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

There was no reason for Miguel to worry about the expense of the hotel. Sure it was above anyone's pay grade but he wasn't going to go to some fleabag motel either. Kieran wasn't likely to answer Miguel if he asked him how much it was. He kept his finances to himself. There was no need to tell Miguel anything after all he was paying for it so he would enjoy himself too with some room service.

Once Miguel was out of the car, Kieran lead the way toward the door. He watched as Miguel seemed unsure of entering the hotel. Kieran continued inside as he walked toward the front desk where a woman stood fiddling with papers. She greeted him but glanced toward Miguel who was dragging behind him. For the looks of it they would be lovers. After all what two men come to an expensive hotel, other than to have sex.

Kieran ignored the looks she was giving them however, especially since it wasn’t any of her business of what was going on between them. He went about arranging a superior king room, which had a large king size bed with a bathroom separately from it. The shower held a walk in shower, as well as a deep soak tub. While room held the bed, 42 inch television, and mini bar. It also came with room service.

He pulled his wallet from his pocket, paying for the room. Kieran didn’t care which floor it was on though anything above the second worked for him. Less traffic, plus less variable. Taking the key, he motioned for Miguel to follow him toward the elevator. Their room was on the third floor. Kieran pushed the elevator button waiting for Miguel to join him inside, before pressing the third floor button.

Leaning against the wall, he stood there watching Miguel. Kieran knew he would have questions but he wasn’t sure he would answer them all. He much preferred if Miguel just enjoyed himself, not ask him anything. The elevator dinged, alerting them they were on the third floor. Kieran waited for the doors to opening, before exiting. He led the way down the hallway toward their room.

Kieran stood at room 304, as he used his key to open the door. He flicked on the light entering the room. Kieran took in the large king size bed. He found asking for two beds was just annoying. One would work better. Kieran kicked off his shoes as he left them by the door. He continued into the room, toward a small table near the bed. Kieran took a seat on the bed, as he grabbed the menu. He looked it over trying to figure out what he wanted to eat.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Jakob wasn't used to going to fancy places. Most of the time it was because he couldn't afford it. But others, he simply didn't see the need to waste so much money on something. He wasn't expecting Kieran to take him to some no name motel off the freeway. But this seemed a little much in his opinion. Guess that was why the man wasn't asking for it.

Getting out of the car, he followed Kieran across the parking lot and into the lobby. He felt a little under-dressed as he took in his surroundings. Kieran on the other hand seemed completely unfazed by his surroundings. Jakob watched him stride towards the check-in desk and talk to the woman behind it. He stood a few feet back while Kieran made all the arrangements as it didn't seem he was needed at the moment. Jakob ignored the curious glance he received from the woman behind the desk. It didn't take much to guess what she must be thinking. Though he didn't really see why it was any of her concern.

Once everything was taken Jakob turned his attention to Kieran, who was motioning for him. He followed the male through the lobby and towards the elevators. The elevator dinged as the doors slid open. He shuffled in behind Kieran and stood off to the side. As he stood there, he could feel the man watching him. He paid him no mind as he instead watched the panel indicating what floor they were on.

When they reached the third floor, the elevator dinged again as the door opens. He waited for Kieran to get out first and followed behind him. He looked around curiously as he walked. The halls were nicely lit and quiet, lined with plush carpet. Jakob followed the man about halfway down the hallway before coming to a room marked 304. He waited beside the man as he pulled out the key card and inserted it into the lock. A moment later, the door was pushed open and the lights were flicked on.

Filing into the room, he followed inside and quietly shut the door behind him. After removing his own shoes, Jakob looked around the room in awe. It was bigger than any room he had stayed in, and nicely decorated to boot. He set his bag down near the television stand as he crossed the room to peak outside the curtains. The view wasn't terribly exciting but then again from the third floor what he possibly expect to see.

After closing the curtains, Jakob turned towards the bed and laid down beside the male. Looking over his shoulder, he read a few items from the menu in his hand. Since he could read everything, he laid his head down while he waited for Kieran to finish with the menu.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

Taking a seat on the bed, Kieran watched as Miguel took in the hotel room. He knew it was a little extravagant but he didn't care. Kieran saw no reason he couldn't spoil Miguel. After all having a bad experience with Abel, he wanted him to feel better. He looked over the menu but kept his eyes on Miguel watching as he continued to explore the room.

Eventually Miguel joined him on the bed, Kieran knew he was looking over his shoulder as he sat there. He already knew what he wanted. Kieran would most likely order a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a Coke. He glanced toward Miguel who laid on the bed beside him. Kieran handed him the menu after deciding what he wanted. ”Here tell me what you want and I'll order. ” He spoke not caring what Miguel wanted. The male could order everything for all he cared.

Kieran stood walking towards the bathroom. He flicked on the light as walked towards the tub. Kieran pulled the plug on the large tub. He turned on the water as he adjusted the temperature. Kieran went back into the bedroom while he waited for the tub to fill.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

He was so tired, both body and mind, he didn't have the energy to worry about Kieran staring. Though he did have to wonder. Why was he being so nice? It wasn't as though he had given him much reason to be. They hardly knew each other. Yet here he was treating him better than most of the men he lived with. Lying down beside the man, he read over his shoulder while Kieran took his time reading over the menu. Jakob had just laid his head down when the man spoke. He looked up, thanked him quietly, and took the menu from his offering hand.

Sitting up on his elbows, Jakob looked over the various items. His eyes bugged out a bit as he took notice of the prices. Just how was Kieran paying for all of this? He wanted to ask, but he was sure that Kieran would just ignore him. He scanned the items a few times over before coming to a decision. He wanted carbs and booze. So a hamburger, fries, and anything one-hundred proof would do.

Noticing Kieran had left he wondered if he was going to take a bath. He didn't really care if he did. After all, he was paying for the room. Though it seemed a little redundant since he had no clean clothes. As the male was coming back, he sat up,wincing a bit as he did. "Here." he said, handing back the menu. "I want a burger and fries. Mind if I crack open something from the minibar?"

 

[xDarkWinterx]

Just because he didn't have a change of clothes, didn't mean he couldn't enjoy a bath. Kieran returned to the bedroom to see what Miguel had decided. He watched as he sat up taking note of him wincing. Kieran took the menu back as he nodded to his order. He didn't mind if Miguel wanted a drink. The male was free to drink anything in the fridge. Kieran walked towards the telephone on the table next to the bed. ”Sure drink whatever you want.” He responded as he picked up the phone as he placed the order over the phone.

Once he finished with the order he turned his attention towards Miguel. ”Food will be here in about forty-five minutes.” Kieran spoke as he moved toward the bathroom. He turned off the water as he went about removing his clothes. Kieran set them on the counter as returned to the tub. He moved as he climbed into the tub. Kieran relaxed as the warm water surrounded him. He closed his eyes leaning his head back as he sat there.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

He saw no reason the man couldn't enjoy a simple bath. He was paying for the room after all. He might as well make the most of his stay. Jakob paid no mind in having Kieran see him wince in his moment of vulnerability. At this point it was no use hiding. They both knew how much he was hurting. He nodded as he was then given permission to raid the bar. While Kieran moved to put in the order, Jakob rose from the bed, and padded over to the minibar. He browsed the various bottles. Some of the options he did not care for, while others.....he was still being considerate of Kieran's wallet. He rummaged a bit more before pulling out a small bottle of Svedka blue raspberry Vodka.

Taking the bottle, he closed up the minibar. He nodded as Kieran spoke. "I should be nice and buzzed by then." he replied, smiling. As the man left him to be alone, he went ahead and made himself more comfortable. He piled the pillows on the bed and picked up the TV remote. He went through a few channels before settling on a random movie. He didn't care if he was unfamiliar with the plot, it was background noise. Opening up the bottle, Jakob tipped back the bottle and took a large first sip. He didn't really care if he got drunk. He just wanted to make the aches and pains in his body to go away. Taking another sip, he leaned back amongst the pillows, enjoying the warmth spreading throughout his body as he drank.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

There was no reason for Miguel to worry about the cost of the money on the hotel, food, or mini bar. After all it wasn’t even his money, everything was being charged to Abel. So Miguel was free to eat, and drink what he wanted. Kieran didn’t mind if Kieran grabbed the hard stuff. He relaxed in the tub for a half an hour, before finally feeling it start to turn cold. Kieran had already washed his body off and his hair a while ago within those thirty minutes. He reached for the drain plug, as he pulled it.

Standing from the water, he reached for the complimentary robe next to the tub. Kieran stepped out, as he wrapped it around his body. He left his clothes where they were, he would likely send them to be cleaned later. Kieran continued back toward the bedroom area. He found Miguel amongst the pillows, drinking small bottles of Svedka blue raspberry Vodka. Kieran didn’t mind, as he went toward the mini bar grabbing himself out a bottle of Jagermeister Spice.

He walked toward the bed, as he took a seat beside Miguel to see what he was watching. Kieran opened the bottle of his chosen alcohol for the evening. He took a few sips from it as he sat there. Kieran was never a fan of regular Jagermeister, but Spice had under tones of cinnamon and Vanilla. He glanced toward Miguel, ”What are you watching?” Kieran asked curiously taking another sip of his drink.
