The sun shined brightly down onto Magnolia as a man named as Eustass D. Teach pushed his way through the crowded street filled with people, and to a nearby bar that had caught his attention. On his way to Magnolia, he had heard that this bar was one of the best places to have a drink and a bite to eat. Seeing that he had been traveling for a couple of days now, and that he hadn't had a decent thing to eat, Eustass decided that it would not hurt to check this place out. If it was expensive then he'd either seduce someone to pay for his food, or simply fight his way out the bar. Honestly, he had hoped that it was the former, he was a little tired from fighting his way out of things. The Emperor was relentless in chasing him out of his home country, tch, honestly Eustass didn't understand why the Emperor was so pissed off that he had bedded his son. Tch, some people simply didn't understand.

The bar known as the 'Happy Boar' was a simple establishment that was rumored to be one of the best joints within the city. Eustass pushed open the door to the Happy Boar, and entered into the bar to find that it was incredibly crowded with a rowdy bunch of people. Honestly, this placed look like a good location to have a party and get into a bar fight, and if Eustass wasn't so tired he'd join these men in their rowdiness. But for now, Eustass walked up to the bar, ordered him a drink, and found a nice booth in the corner. With a smile, Eustass made himself comfortable and started drinking.

It was only his second day in Fiore and he was already having a blast. He arrived in Hargeon yesterday, the place was beautiful, he saw first-hand the victorian style of architecture. The place was very clean as well, which was a good thing because Hargeon is one of the first place where people from all over Earthland first arrive when reaching Fiore. After enjoying the Azure Beach and the seafood delicacies in the renowned 8-Island Restaurant. He went to Magnolia the next day, with his white tee on and a simple denim shorts and white sneakers to go along with it, he really looked like someone who was there on a vacation. There were lots of attractions like the Kardia Cathedral and the bath house, which Eric was yet to try. It was a shame that he arrived there during a non-festive season, he heard from the locals that they were very lively. The people of Magnolia were also very friendly, part of this was because there were lots of outsiders who visits Magnolia, and most of their income were generated by them and one of them was Eric.

Later on the day he went to a very famous pub among the locals called 'Happy Boar'. Eric found out that the name suited the place very well as he laughed along with a group of men, causing such rowdiness and bringing life to the pub, with of course mugs of beers. He was starting to like Fiore, but it might be too soon for him to judge. He then noticed the gates to the pub swung open as a red haired man walked in. Without knowing why, everything suddenly faded out, his pupils widened and his jaw drop a little. He could also swear he heard some jazz playing inside his head, he had never seen such a beautiful creature before in his life. Following his raw instinct and emotions he stood up, beer in his hand, and walked towards the red haired man, who was then sitting by himself in a booth at the most corner of the pub. "Do you mind if I join you?" he asked politely, flashing a smile at the man, revealing his dazzling teeth.

If the man allowed Eric to join him, Eric would smile even wider, happy that he could spent some time with his new crush. He would sit right next to the red haired man, having quite large arms, it can't be helped that their arms touched a little. After resting his mug of beer on the table, he would look at the man with yet another genuine smile of his, "The name's Eric by the way, what's yours?" he'd opened up a bit, trying to get to know the man more. "and what is someone so gorgeous doing in a pub all by himself?" he'd remarked, throwing in a little compliment to give some hints to the man.

The look that Eustass gave him was more than welcoming, Eric could tell it from looking at the man's captivating golden eyes. In addition to that, he was given the nickname 'handsome' immediately, which he enjoyed being called by the, if not, more handsome man. Eric was happy that their feelings were mutual, and his excitement couldn't be contained any longer. "Ahh Eustass, what a beautiful name," he'd remarked. A sinister-like smile formed across his face, he believed that this would be easier than he had expected. He placed his beefy arms over Eustass shoulders, and leaned closer to the red haired man, his face only inches away from Eustass'. As he spoke, his warm breath could be felt across Eustass' skin. "Well it seems like you're very lucky today, cause this prince charming is inviting you over to his castle.". When Eustass gave even the slightest hint that he accepted the invite, Eric would immediately carry him in his arms. Walking proudly with a smug smile to the hotel he was staying in, which was not very far from the pub.

Being an only child of a wealthy family meant that he had more money than he could ever spent, so he almost always get the best out of things. The hotel he was staying in was pretty grand and to top it off, he was staying in a suite, which costs a lot more than ordinary rooms. Eric carried Eustass to his suite with his fastest walking speed, smiling excitedly the whole way. Once they had reached the suite, which was facing the sea, Eric threw Eustass onto the bed and threw himself in as well, and Eustass will have the time of his life.

Eric had a lot of fun that night, he could say that he was insatiable, as if an incubus had possessed him last night, but Eustass handled him well and quenched his lust. After doing the thing both of them were pretty tired and dozed to sleep right away, and Eric couldn't help but put his arm over Eustass, hugging him closely the entire night. He had never felt so indulged in someone before. The next morning, Eric woke up to a loud sound of someone's cursing and a loud thud. He woke up and immediately looked around, trying to find what had caused him to wake. He first noticed that Eustass was not on his bed, the thought that Eustass left him as a one-night stand partner momentarily broke his heart, until he noticed that Eustass was on the bedroom floor. He chuckled, "What are you doing down there?" he'd say, amused by the situation. He then would look at Eustass in the eyes, "You can leave if you want to, just like the rest of the guys," he'd say, his tone a bit sad at the end, "or you can stay with me just a little bit longer for breakfast, and if that won't make you stay, I'd do you a favor and you can ask me for anything, but just once." he offered with a flashing smile and a wink, he really did not want to let Eustass go, no, he was really into this man for some reason and he would like to know him more. But at the same time he didn't want to force the man to do something he doesn't want to.

Damn it! He was hoping that he'd be able to sneak out of the suite before the handsome jock woke up, but it seems that the divines and their cursed sense of humor and irony had caught up to him. Seriously, he used to have a talent for disappearing in the middle of the night, but between being caught sleeping with the Emperor's son, and falling down while trying to sneak out of this fool's suite; Eustass was honestly starting to wonder where his talent went. Eustass bit down harshly on his lip, with enough force to draw blood, and starred the hunk name Eric down. He didn't know what to say, he felt....odd right now. Why couldn't this guy be like a regular hook up and want to kick him out or leave before other people noticed! Why did he want him to stay so bad, Eustass just starred at the handsome stranger, and slowly continued to get dress. He pulled his pants onto himself while still on the floor, and zipped them (after he got his underwear on), but he couldn't find his shirt. Eric offered a decent deal, and Eustass would have been stupid not to take it. A little confused the magnetism mage nodded his head, "Okay fine I will stay...." he walked over and sat down on the bed. "But I don't understand why, nor do I care, but I am going to cash in that favor." With no place to go and no money, Eustass didn't really have a choice but to stay with this handsome hunk, but still it irritated him nonetheless, to feel like he was being bought.

Eric was more than happy to hear that Eustass was going to stay, he can't let go of a precious find, he was willing to do anything just to be with Eustass. He then stood up and stretched his muscular body. He walked across the room, pass Eustass and towards the bathroom, with his body fully naked, he gave Eustass a smug smile. Before he close the bathroom door, he said to Eustass, "Oh, and I believe that breakfast is already served in the living area, you can start without me.". If Eustass was to go and check the living area out, he will find a tray lined with foods, there were pancakes, omelettes, fried eggs, half-boiled eggs, toasts, butter, jam, sausages, bacon, cut apples, avocados, mangoes, oranges and grapes. There were also two glasses of orange juice, and two bottles of drinking water. Overall it was a set of a perfect healthy breakfast with the right amount of nutrients one needs to start the day. In the living area is a set of couches set around a coffee table and facing a widescreen television, with the remote on the coffee table. There was also the balcony, which was behind the sliding doors, from there one could see the beautiful Lake Scilliora.

Eric didn't shower for that long, he got out of the bathroom, his hair still wet and a towel draped over his waist, below his belly button, low enough that one could see his v-line. Eric, in a towel, went to the living area to check on Eustass, "is everything alright? You need anything else? A shower perhaps? We can ask them to wash your clothes and you can wear the bathrobe while we wait for your clothes to get done." he asked with a dazzling white smile.
