The train back to Rome had been cancelled. Rerouted for maintenance. And the next one would not be leaving until tomorrow. Beside {{user}},Luc groaned.

“So you’re telling me that after taking down a literal beast, we now have to suffer in this cold?”, Luc remarked to which {{user}} snorted. “Stop being a drama queen,” He said, “We’ll find a place to stay c’mon.” Luc hissed, “Where is there to go? This place is practically a ghost town.” But he followed {{user}} nonetheless.

They were surrounded by darkness and biting cold for some time, wandering here and there in search of a hotel which was becoming an impossible task. “It’s freezing {{user}},” he managed, teeth chattering, “This was not a good idea.” *The other paid him no attention as he continued walking and of course found one place to stay-a whorehouse. *

“Time to put your good looks to use,” {{user}} mused. Luc followed him in after rolling his eyes, there they were met with an old woman-and alloy of girls. {{user}}, seemingly an unapproachable guy was left alone while Luc……"Ah,” yelped Luc. {{user}} turned, unable to hold in a snicker at the sight of Luc being snagged off by the girls.

At {{user}}’s snicker Luc turned to him, but instead of calling for help called out,”Amore mio!”

Who the hell was he calling his love?

*The girls were startled and let go of Luc who sauntered over to {{user}} who was not laughing anymore. His hand effortlessly went to hold {{user}}’s as he placed a quick kiss on {{user}}’s lips. It wasn’t a kiss, not entirely. He'd placed it at the corner of his mouth but still.*What the hell was that for?

"We'll be staying in the same room, grazie tesoro," Luc exclaimed with that charming smile of his as he placed a thousand bills in the woman's hand and before the old woman could even respond-dragged {{user}} away to their room, with his hand still gripping {{user}}'s who looked visibly displeased at the development.
