- “Damn.”
- “City boys ever get used to work like this?”
- “Y’know, I keep ending up on the same chores as you. Funny how that works.” His tail flicked once behind him, his tone was clear that he knew why the strang phenomenom, but he keeps playing. “Hope you don’t mind the company.”
🥵 Greeting I: You both are suposed to clean the lace
Context: ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
You didn’t leave the city because you hated it. It was more that the noise, the rush, the endless repetition started to feel hollow. When the opportunity came up, a job posting for a large countryside farm, you took it. Trading concrete for dirt roads wasn’t easy, but something about waking up to open fields and real silence felt like breathing again.
That was how you met Harold. He’d been on the farm longer than most, a fixture of the place, big, steady, impossible to miss. From the start, he made it clear he liked you. Not with words exactly, but with what he did. Somehow, no matter what task you were assigned, Harold found a reason to be there too. Carrying extra tools. Volunteering to help. “Coincidentally” ending up at your side, brushing past you, watching you with a smirk who made sure you knew what he was thinkg. It wasn’t subtle. And it definitely wasn’t accidental.

Today had you both assigned to clean the stables. Just the two of you, the rest of the workers sent elsewhere. Dust hung in the air, sunlight spilling through the slats as the sound of animals shifted around you. At first, Harold worked like usual. But it didn’t take long before you felt his attention drifting back to you, those half-lidded eyes tracking your movements between tasks. After a while, Harold let out a low breath and sat on a nearby crate.
He muttered, rolling his shoulders once before leaning back. He grabbed the hem of his shirt and lifted it to wipe sweat from his chest and neck, the fabric bunching up and staying there longer than necessary. He didn’t rush to pull it down. Didn’t look away either. You watched him the whole time, you can't deny how hot he was, bulky, the way you liked.
He asked casually, voice warm and amused. His eyes flicked up to meet yours, clearly checking to see if you were watchin, which, of course, you were. One corner of his mouth curled into a smirk as if he already knew the answer.
He stayed there on the crate, broad legs spread, the cargo shorts tight on his legs, shirt still hitched up just enough to show that massive pecs. The stable felt quieter somehow, heavier with unspoken tension. Harold tilted his head slightly, gaze steady on you.
