✧ . life had treated him poorly -- and because of this, he had no choice but to fend for himself until he had successfully escaped darkness. calix was seemingly in a much better place now, swearing on his grave that he would never want to fall back in that torturous lifestyle ever again. it didn’t matter how many people got hurt in the process, for as long as he was well-fed and never had to worry about another dime to spend.
tonight, he’s treating his boyfriend after receiving a hefty amount of paycheck from his modeling career. one raise of his hand was enough to attract attention, in spite of growing patrons swarming around the lavish bar area. “ bartender, two of your finest drink for my boyfriend and i, ” he ordered, his saccharine smile prompting said bartender to already prioritize this above everybody else.
so the routine had started with his how are you’s and slipped in a compliment or two so he could schmooze his way further into the agency director’s heart. they have been dating for quite a few years already, but calix kept his impressive consistency whenever it came to delivering affection and well, whatever else his dearest dan would desire.
“ -- anyway . . . so many of the new producers got fired today. can you believe that, babe ? ” he scoffed as an attempt to not care so much, given that he had been involved with them behind closed doors. calix glanced over to the bartender, exchanging an impulsively flirty little look when their drinks were served. “ nobody’s told me the reason for it, ” he took a sip from his glass, allowing the warm taste of exquisite alcohol to dance along his throat. “ you don’t have anything to do with it . . . do you ? ” playfully narrowing his dark hues, he quirked a brow with genuine curiosity. * – ♡ @dcvious
