Jinki almost rolled his eyes at the taller blond. It always was like this whenever they were around each other. “No, but you like it a little too much when you get the summon me,” he scoffed and stepped inside the other’s house. His gaze flickered over the familiar details of the walls and flooring. “You wouldn’t. Our arrangement benefits you as much as it benefits me. You’d lose too much if you ended it.”
The younger immortal followed Aleksei to the living room with silent footsteps. The differences between the two of them were striking, as usual. Jinki always forgot how much more like a mortal the born vampire was than him. Then again, it wasn’t like Aleksei was a walking corpse.
He chuckled, amused by his own thoughts as they stepped into the spacious room. Redenned eyes fell immediately to the man sitting on one of the plush couches, dazedly looking around his new environments. A delicate eyebrow rose in question as he turned to the older vampire.
"A present? For me? You surprise me."Jinki stepped further into the room and walked towards the human, sliding the tip of a claw over the velvety ribbon. "Where did you find him?"
Dull, brown hues flickered a bit, when a finger ran along the velvety bow tied around his neck. He didn’t move an inch however, sitting perfectly still with his hands rested on denim clad thighs. His fingers were lightly curled, the urge to slap the hand away growing stronger by the second but he restrained himself. For now. Instead, he merely refused to look at him, to look at either of them, Much like himself, much to the pleasure of his stubborn nature.
Aleksei on the other hand, merely chuckled at the display of silent defiance, as moving to seat himself in one of the nearby armchairs. “ I caught this one a few weeks ago, he’s indebted to me, badly so. I figured, this would be the best way for him to pay it all back, by working it off, Or well, making non-existent profit by being given as a token of gratitude to my dear business partner. I estimated his worth, even now when he’s completely untrained and unbroken, so to say, it’s quite high. Almost reaching thirty million won. A fine sample. ” He explained calmly as crossing one leg over the other, resting comfortably against the solitary cushion.
Unbroken.
The word made Jianyu swallow thickly, eyes daring to peek at the vampire before him for a sliver of a second, before his defiant demeanor fell back into place and he looked away again, not speaking a word, not moving a millimeter just yet. pliant, for the moment and seeming to be easier to handle than he ever would be. If he could decide himself, of course.
