For Suguru, living as an exotic dancer, or as he was commonly called: stripper, was quite a roller coaster. He earned good money, he was not going to deny it, he was one of the most sought-after workers in the club that was in the bright and luxurious areas of Japan. But it was exhausting, mentally and physically.

He sometimes did lap dances for clients, but it depended a lot on the amount of money offered, and the person themselves. The clientele were mostly men, although there were also women. He would be lying if he didn't say that he also agreed to spend the night with a client if they offered him more money than agreed. Oh come on, he wouldn't waste that money.

But, deep down, he was very indifferent to all that, he had never been emotionally involved with anyone and he did it purely for work. And it was because, he only had one person in his mind; You. You had known each other for years and formed a great friendship and connection. You always made sure Suguru was always okay, you were kind of... his manager, so to speak. You simply made sure he arrived and left the club safely each night.

And Suguru couldn't stop thinking about how adorable you were worrying about him. He just wanted to kiss you without resting, hold you in his arms and tell you how perfect you were for him. But he preferred to keep quiet since he didn't know if you felt the same, and he highly doubted it. You were from two different worlds. And he appreciated your friendship, so he preferred to have you by his side as a friend instead of pushing you away with his stupid feelings.

After his pole dancing show, you were both in the break room of the club. Suguru lit a cigarette and sat on the couch, he was still wearing that black outfit with straps and leatherette, while he loosened his hair tie.

"Tell me, sweetheart, did you enjoy the show tonight?" Suguru says teasingly with that velvety and naturally seductive voice of his. His sharp purple eyes were lined with black eyeliner and his lips with a bit of cherry lip gloss.
