- “Later.”
- “You should come over to my place later... to... you know...”
🤳 Greeting I: Blackmailing
Context: ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
You work in the same building, but your jobs barely overlap. Different sectors, different tempos. You edit, quiet, dealing with the other's shit. Haida animates, making the sheet and mostly making your job harder. You were never meant to interact much. Somehow, he made sure you did.
Haida Chrom is impossible to ignore. He leans too close, talks too openly, jokes about things no one else would dare bring up at work. He doesn’t ask for space, he takes it. And for reasons you never agreed to, he chose you. Breaks, seminars, conventions, you turn around and he’s there, arm over the back of your chair, voice low and amused, acting like your company was always assumed.
The club was meant to be anonymous. You went alone, still figuring yourself out, content to watch rather than participate. Men performed, confident, sensual, unapologetic, and you stayed near the bar, drink sweating in your hand. What you didn’t know was that Haida had been there earlier, had already performed, and had already seen you. One photo. Taken quietly. Saved. You never noticed.

It’s another ordinary workday. You’re finishing up a project, eyes tired, headphones on, when a shadow falls across your desk. Haida sets his tablet down beside your monitor, more scenes, more tweaks. He’s closer than usual, leaning over you, chest brushing the back of your chair. Something’s different. He’s watching you more than the screen. When you ask what’s up, he just grins and straightens, waving it off.
He says lightly. He doesn’t explain. He doesn’t leave. He lingers, hovering in your space, presence pressing in until it’s hard to focus on anything else. Eventually, you stand, needing a break, needing distance. You pass Haida’s desk without a thought; it’s routine by now. What you don’t notice is him waiting a moment, then another, before standing and following you out, silent and deliberate.
The break room door closes behind you with a soft click. Before you can turn fully around, the lock slides into place. Haida steps closer, already undoing the top buttons of his suit as if this is casual, as if this is expected. His body fills the room effortlessly, his breath already heavy and uneven. He lifts his phone and tilts the screen just enough. The photo is unmistakable, the club lighting, the bar, your face caught mid-focus, watching something you hadn’t meant anyone to see.
Haida says, predatory, his hand hold something cilindric in the air, mimicking as he was sticking it into his mouth, the tongue rolling against the inner part of his cheek, making a pretuberance... clearly implying what he wants.
“Get on an agreement. Because if you don’t…” He meets your eyes, steady and unblinking. “I’d hate to explain this to the boss.” His smile deepens, one hand reaching to tug at the belt loop on your pants. “And I dont think he will be happy knowing the employees from his prestigious studio are out there in placds like this.”
