“Suzu-kun, if you keep staring at me without saying anything, I’m going to charge you a creep fee.”

Suzu blinked, “Is that a thing?”

“Of course. We get all types that hire us, you know. If you read carefully on the site, it did say my prices were just a ‘base’. Taxes and fees do apply.”

“Have… have you added any fees for me yet?”

Saku laughed, turning to lay on his back, “No Suzu-kun, you’ve been a complete and total gentleman. I’m half-tempted to give you discounts instead.”

“Well, far be it from me to stop you from helping me out,” Suzu teased, just barely dodging the small, decorative pillow that Saku threw his way.

“Oh, you’re so going to pay me the full amount, Suzu-kun. I even expect a generous tip.”

“Don’t get your hopes up too high, I’m already pretty tapped out just paying your base price.”

Saku rolled over again, “Awww did you use up all your savings just to hire me? That’s adorable.”

“N-Not all of my savings!” Suzu protested before muttering, “Just a very substantial amount of it.”

The redhead giggled, “I promise it’ll be worth it. Especially if you give in to making good use of this bed.”

“You seem more eager about it than I would expect of someone who probably gets laid with nearly every job.”

Suzu immediately regretted the comment as it was definitely rude. But with the teasing, he felt so comfortable and now he’s probably just completely pissed the other off.

He waited to hear an offended sound or comment but instead, Saku just laughed again.

“You’re not wrong. Except it’s not nearly every job, it’s every job. I’m very good at what I do, Suzu-kun.”

“I believe it.”

“It also helps that I’m, like, constantly horny so I’m always happy to be satisfied—not that all of my clients can do the job but, eh, good enough.”

Suzu had not expected such bluntness and choked in surprise. Was this what Saku was actually like?

“Sorry, was that too much, Suzu-kun? I mean you made the comment so I figured you wouldn’t care if I was a bit crass.”

“No. I um, told you I wanted you to be comfortable and that isn’t limited to your clothing choice.”

And suddenly, Suzu was breathless as he witnessed what had to be a genuine smile on Saku’s face.

“You’re quite sweet, Suzu-kun. I honestly find it hard to believe you couldn’t get a date on your own merit. Tell me, are you actually an axe murder?”

“Yes, I actually target beautiful, male escorts and take them to resorts so I can off them during a night of passion.”

“Awww, you think I’m beautiful, hm?”

Now Suzu was back to blushing. This was definitely becoming a problem.

“W-Well, of course. I mean, surely you get tired of hearing that.”

“You’d be surprised. I’m the type that enjoys constant compliments.”

Saku yawned and stretched, his top lifting up ever so slightly. Suzu quickly looked away—he was not about to lose his resolve.

“Get some rest Saku, you still have five days of Hinata to experience.”

“I’d make a comment about my stamina but, oof, that man really did a number on me.”

Suzu chuckled as Saku turned over and made himself comfortable. It didn’t take too long before he was sleeping soundly and Suzu let out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding.

He thought this weekend was going to be exhausting enough just trying to fool Arata, but it seemed like he’d have to add fooling himself to the list too. Resisting Saku was going to be quite a trial.
