He watched Hayden as he worked. Nox seemed able to divide his attention like he'd been doing it for a while. Hayden wondered what a guy like him was doing in a bar like this working for the Atharim. He was evil incarnate if you asked his cousin and her intrepid bunch of fanatics. It had been part of his family legacy but not his or his fathers. Though they did get wrangled into the business. It left for interesting work, but Hayden much preferred the bar than the cleaning.
The kid -- and he wasn't much older than that honestly, he was true to his word and only drank the one glass of wine he'd said he would. Two still sat warm on the table in front of him. When he closed up Hayden drank the untouched drink as he sussed out the man before him.
It wasn't a usual thing, but this guy was good looking, he flirted with Hayden and it wouldn't hurt either of them if he tried. Fuck his cousin and her warnings, but that lingering ability sat in the back of Hayden's mind -- he could easily kill him. But there was a certain amount of thrill in that as well.
Nox followed him upstairs and Hayden used his own spare key to open the door he was letting out. Nox didn't seem to mind. There was a small smile on his lips.
What might have been awkward was not. Nox made himself at home, taking off his shoes and putting everything down. He tossed his bag from the bed to the chair in anticipation.
Hayden spoke first. "Are you sure you don't want more." Hayden took a slow sip and swallowed with purpose. Nox's eyes never left his lips. There was a hesitation in his companion's body language so Hayden made the first move. He closed the distance sipping from the wine glass and kissed the man letting the wine trickle into his mouth.
Nox chuckled. "Okay, maybe a little more." And the rest was as they say history.
