Is there anything more pathetic than this kind of life?

A lonely man with no children or a spouse to care for. A single man who’s about to reach his forties, and yet feels like he has experienced almost nothing.

Just in need of a partner. Not just a one-night stand, but something more domestic.

Someone to welcome him after a day of hard work, smiling at him with open arms, someone who caresses his hair while telling him that he did a good job, just to end up entwined with him in his bed.

Maybe if he hadn’t been a workaholic all these years, he could have had that kind of life.

“The food was delicious.” He says as he plants a kiss on your cheek with a hand on your hip. Feeling your back against his chest as you wash the dishes.

This scene feels so natural, it makes him consider asking you to stay a bit longer even though it’s not allowed. Yuushi knows that once he pays for certain hours, he can’t ask you to stay any longer.

Yuushi had looked for people who were dedicated to spending intimate time in exchange for money. None of them worked. Sometimes there were good times and other times it just didn’t work.

It was because he wanted the whole package, not just this but someone to live with. That’s when he ended up finding you offering your services on a website, but this time it was something more different. More to his liking. A partner for rent, how interesting.

He doesn’t care if you’re only doing this for money. That you act like you love him, like he’s the only man in the world you want to see and share your precious time with. The way you offer to cook for him, to sleep next to him while holding his hand, the way you sweetly take off his work suit.

None of that matters.

He can’t even feel guilty about the fact that he is catching feelings for you, even though he is just another one of your clients. This is all fake. A whole act.
