( RAFAEL SILVA, CIS-MALE, HE/HIM ) ALEJANDRO FLORES the 27 year old is said to have lived here for ALL HIS LIFE. We heard they grew up to become a/an DANCER AT THE PLAYPEN and resident in ASHFORD GARDENS. They are known to be PROTECTIVE and CLOSED OFF which makes sense when you think about how they were a OLDER HALF BROTHER TO YAZMIN FLORES who went missing 5 years ago. Maybe this year will change things for them.

;; backstory

after having lost his younger sister yazmin flores, he was first on a personal mission to find her himself. hating that the government was failing them, or worse. he has never lost hope that she is out there, all of them are. still till this day honors her by wearing a bracelet that she had made for him, never taking it off. it was a reminder that the flores keep together - that she won't end up like their aunt.

alejandro likes to be around people, his friends, his family, anyone, meaning strangers that end up calling him at night for paid company. using the playpen that his uncle owns, he fought to get up there, bringing in a different kind of client - like downlow men that love to cheat on their wives, etc. he didn't care, for him this was his own way of not just making good bucks, but to go ahead and fill that void that he hates to remind himself. the void of being alone, scared of being alone in case he is now the next flores to be taken. yet with the idea of being around strangers does make it dangerous, he also uses it to see if this could be a way to catch the person that took his sister, killed his aunt. in hopes they take him and he can be of help. keeping his location with some of his friends, so they know where he is. even if he is reminded of how reckless he's being.

as for his friends, he's always there for them. if they need him, he'll stop everything going on to be there for them. telling himself you never know when it'll be the last time they'll be there, ask for your help and the blame comes upon him. taking care of others first than ever taking care of himself - which he is working on, or so he again tells himself.

he was a good student when in school, started college for one year but then everything with his sister happened, he couldn't go back. he just couldn't. he wishes that one day when his sister comes back that he'll return to school again and finish what he started, but right now he just doesn't see that in his cards. being a male dancer, escort and a cam boy is enough for him, he makes more money this way than trying to go into being a writer. even though he still writes - just having never finished writing any of the books or ideas he's started or thought of.

this was a lot, even for him - but he was dealing with it alright for the time being. just as he was about to go outside for a bit, he spotted gabe and he stood there, watching him. unsure if to bother him or take him with him. " - fuck .." taking a deep breath, he walked over towards gabe, reaching out to him and taking his hand. " want to ... come outside ? it's... less people out there right now.. " tugging him slightly, he didn't let him go, letting their hands lace together as he just hoped the older male would come with.

jumping from person to person, he went to look for someone, not sure who just yet, but then as he spotted her he thought for a moment if he should even come up to her. his feet on the other hand were making the choice for him. " well, looks like this is how we get to be face to face huh .. how... how are you, rae? " there was a softness to his voice as he looked at the one he use to call his best friend.

of course alejandro was going to be roaming around, he wasn't going to stick just with his date. he was needing to see what was going on, catch up - maybe even try to linger around to maybe check up on if people are doing okay. coming up next to sav, he gave her a soft smile as he didn't look at her just yet. " you know, if we really wanted to, we can out fucking dance everyone here... am i right? " it was just then he glanced down, smirking.

alejandro made it right up to the bar to get himself another drink, which he noticed jaxon near by. smiling to himself, he took the beer and walked over to bump playfully against the male. " did you come here alone -- or are you just people watching? " he asked, looking out at the crowd for a moment before glancing back at jax. " been a minute, huh? "

" so, still up for if this place gets boring we take the food, run and make our own party, yeah? " he laughed, jumping out of the car that eddy just parked. looking over at the male, he smiled quickly moving to meet him before grabbing his hand, lacing them together. a date, something he didn't expect, but he was happy to not be coming to this alone. not caring what anyone would think, he was just happy to be here for once, ignoring everything else. " what is the game plan inside, look for people we know, or just go in and dance? " alejandro asked, slowly starting to make his way inside along edward.

[seatiides]

the running water fades in with the low buzz of his old toaster oven, letting it warm up the leftovers nicer than whatever his busted microwave could do. he'll need to fix that next. looking into his fridge to put out something to drink too, all he's got left is a quarter of orange juice and a can of coke. he'd forgot to put more to cool. he still won't do it tonight, taking the can and setting it out for ale. gabe finally leans on his counter for a second, sighing low as he sets his gaze on the door to his bathroom. since he's got his text, this is the first time the fisherman can actually relax. he's been on edge lately, that text hadn't helped. but he's safe now, and gabe can breathe. a ding resonates, and he burns the tip of his fingers slipping the food out on a plate.

he slides the half pizza and bread on the small table, and it's taken without convincing. " relax big boy, it's not going anywhere. " seeing ale chow down on reheated frozen pizza and garlic bread is somewhat amusing, a lazy chuckle escaping his lips for it. gabe grabs one last thing from his pantry, a generic brand box of chocolate chip cookies to put on the table too. if there are two sure things about him, it's that his cabinet will be dry but there will be sugar.

" yeah, yeah. you better be ready when i cash that in. " there is a very unserious note in his voice, he couldn't be more dismissive about it. he doesn't help for a reward, or a debt to collect. he just . . . does. alejandro is safe from whatever favors he thinks gabe will someday come for. he picks up three cookies from the box, biting down on one as he moves back to the couch. he's got cigarettes that still needs rolling. " you don't owe me anything, ever. " he breathes it out through half full mouth, an urge to make himself clear. " m'just glad you're, y'know, here. " and he leaves it at that, doesn't really need to reiterate what he thinks of alejandro being in strangers' rooms.

taking a paper, he packs it with tobacco, expert fingers rolling it by the time he's done chewing up on the whole cookie. " need to finish this, but take the bed if you're tired. i'll take the couch. " he doesn't want to rush him into eating and sleeping, but he doesn't want the other to feel like he has to wait for him either. but then gabe goes silent for a little bit, his mind running back to the car, to the moment when ale had felt so small all of the sudden. scared and looking for warmth into his jacket and against his shoulder. maybe space isn't what he needs for tonight. " or wait up and we go when i've got a pack worth. " not the first time they'd sleep on the same bed. and maybe ale won't ask if he feels like he's done too much of asking for the day. so gabe offers.

[alejandroxflores]

okay, so maybe he was eating like someone who hadn’t seen food in days, but really it was just because he couldn’t remember the last time he’d actually been able to sit down and enjoy something as simple as a slice of pizza. “ shit… yeah, yeah, my bad. ” he laughed along with him, cracking open the soda can and taking a slow sip. gradually, he felt himself unwind. the tension slipped from his shoulders, like some invisible weight had finally been lifted. just being around gabe did that to him. not many people could make him feel relaxed, make him feel safe, but gabe always could. it was something he never stopped being grateful for, having someone like him in his corner.

then the cookie came into view, and everything changed. his face lit up instantly. “ you seriously know me so fucking well, don’t you? ” he took a bite of the cookie and then another of the pizza, a low groan escaping him at the comfort of it. the familiar taste sent warmth through him, setting his senses alight and making him feel grounded in a way he hadn’t in a long time.

as gabe walked off, his gaze followed him without thinking. he watched what he was starting to do, recognizing the routine from before, and slowly made his way over to sit beside him with the plate. he dropped down with a soft thud and just watched him work. “ you say that, but i do owe you a lot. you’ve always done so much for me without needing to be asked. and when i do ask, you never say no. even when maybe you should have. a couple times. ” a faint blush crept across his face as he looked down at the plate, absently fiddling with the plastic corners.

“ i’m happy i’m here too, gabe. ” when he glanced back up, everything he felt was written plainly in his eyes. this wasn’t some passing thing, not a fling. it was more than that, something deeper, something that scared him. he couldn’t stop thinking about what might happen if he ever made a move, if it would ruin everything between them. he couldn’t lose him. he wouldn’t.

at gabe’s words, he nudged him hard, then set the empty plate on the table and leaned back into the couch. he pulled his feet up and chuckled quietly to himself. “ you know i’m going to wait up, right? i sleep better with you anyway. ” the admission lingered in the air for a moment. he stared at him, then cleared his throat and pointed toward the rolling paper. “ you still haven’t taught me how to do that. if you did, i could’ve helped you. and we could be… you know… ” he trailed off, knowing he probably shouldn’t say anything more.

edward had truly done it in many questionable and odd places, but the backrooms at a strip club was up there. he wasn't against it though, it just added to the rush he was feeling from being so intimate again with his best friend. a feeling he had truly missed. "i know, jandro." he whispered. knowing there was no way he was letting the man go.

he almost shivered when he felt alejandro's lips traverse down his body. missing how they felt on his body. nobody else edward had ever met could do it like alejandro did. just the feel of his mouth on his skin made him want more, and more. he tilted his head down, and watched, smirking when he saw that jandro was now on his knees. a sight edward had been yearning to see again, since he first laid eyes on alejandro on that stage.

He no longer felt overdressed. Sitting there in just his briefs, never one to feel uncomfortable in such a situation or in anything he wore or didn't wear. and he could tell by the look in alejandro's eyes, he was enjoying his view from below.

edward adjusted himself to sit up. eyes not moving from alejandro, watching him move to press his tongue along his tight underwear, feeling everything through the fabric. he was teasing him, and edward was loving every second of it.

he then watched as alejandro lightly pulled at his underwear until it slipped to expose his rock hard cock. tilting his head back once again as he felt alejandro's tongue on his shaft, feeling the warmth of jandro's mouth as he wrapped his lips around edward's cock. the man looking back down, smiling lightly as he locked eyes with alejandro. his hand moving to rest atop his friend's head. feeling it move up and down. causing edward to lean back, and let out heavy breaths with every movement.

"fuck yeah baby...." he whispered. "you're all mine..."

[alejandroxflores]

alejandro's goal right now were to make eddy feel good, show him even through this action that he missed him. relaxing his throat to take more inches from the male's cock, he pushed himself all the way down until his nose pressed against eddy's base. slightly gagging around him, tears slightly forming onto his eyes, he held onto the man's thighs for support before pulling back all the way, panting. making sure to rush a hand in to warp around him, stroking him to keep the pleasure going. " i'm all yours huh -- always so selfish... " he winked, teasing him as he leaned in to kiss the tip of his cock. "but yeah.. i might be all yours.. " warping his lips back around him, alejandro knew what he needed to do as he just was going down on him. working a hand down on the base of his cock, the other hand roaming up eddy's chest, teasing his nipples before finding his hand, lacing them together as he was just going to town, eyes never once looking away from watching the pleasure rushing those eyes before him, tasting him on his tongue.

[eddyxstne]

Eddy's confident smirk grew into more of an almost grin when the man spoke. Their lips meeting again and Edward pulling the man in closer with just his hand placed on Alejandro's back. Edward could feel his cock growing harder beneath Alejandro, his lips pushing against Ale's as he lifted his hand to rest at the back of the other's head.

edward listened to alejandro, but didn't speak. not wanting to ruin it with words. he rested his other hand on alejandro's back, feeling his body arch as their bodies moved in unison. he broke his silence as his shirt was pulled from his body and tossed aside, leaving the space between them again, and eddy could only look up at the man in awe, staring for a brief moment. "i want you so fucking bad, alejandro." he muttered before pulling the other close again and closing the gap. lifting his head to allow the man to kiss his neck. a feeling that drove edward wild.

he moved his hand from alejandro's back, and pulled at his own jeans. tilting his head down to kiss alejandro's cheek. returning the fazvor and pressing his lips against the man's neck. pulling at the button of his jeans, knowing where he wanted this to go.

[alejandroxflores]

" well you fucking have all of me, baby.. " really grinding down against him, it was then when he started to feel that this was really not going to end with them running off somewhere. this was going to happen right here right now.

once eddy's shirt was gone and he felt the man under him starting to try and get his pants off, he licked at his lips, kissing from his lips, to his neck, down his chest - making sure to give attention to one of his nipples all while he was sliding down between his lips. kissing his abs all the way down to his bulge where he looked up at eddy as he was now on his knees between him. smirking up at him, he started to help him out of his jeans, quickly as he was laughing getting those shoes off and having eddy just sitting there with just his underwear where he adjusted himself up to lick up the clothed shaft, as he arched his back - the dancer in him wanting to drive him crazy, but the man with feelings wanting to make him remember what he would always do for him. " miss the way you taste... " with those last words, alejandro hooked his fingers onto the waist band of the man's underwear, slipping them slightly down before really going in and licking at the thick vein exposed before him. warping his lips around the tip of the mans cock, he never once looked away as he started to bob his head up and down his length.

[eddyxstne]

edward smile into it as he practically refused to pull his lips away from alejandro. it had truly been a minute since he had kiss anybody to be honest, but he was glad to be breaking his dry streak with alejandro. there was no way he could have expected this to be the outcome of tonight, hell he didn't even think they'd get as far as an actual conversation, but he wasn't complaining. he held his hand at alejandro's waist, almost squeezing the man. the bottom of his hand resting on his waistband.

he pushed his hand, helping alejandro to move to his lap. his hand holding tight to the man as if he were to slide off, but there was zero chance that edward would let that happen. his other hand resting a little higher, just to the side of alejandro's chest. this obviously hadn't been the first time they had shared a moment like this, but there was something special about it. edward didn't want it to end, and by the looks of things, it wasn't going to any time soon.

he moved his hand away from alejandro's waist and held his back. pulling him in closer as if he could get any closer. he heard the whispers of the other man. an almost confused look shot across edward's face, as he reluctantly pulled away. "do you want to stop?" he asked, his face resting against his friend's. lips linger in front of alejandro's, ready to close the gap once again.

[alejandroxflores]

that was all he needed to know. in that moment, he understood this wasn’t something that would ever really end, not if he had any say in it. the pull between them, the aching need to feel edward’s body against his like he had never been gone, was too strong to ignore. no one else had ever come close to making him feel the way eddy did. his body made that painfully clear, the snug fit of his blue underwear tightening with every passing second, the clear sign of his cock starting to stir to life.

he licked his lips, a slow smirk tugging at them as his hand slid down edward’s broad chest, lower and lower, his head shaking faintly. “ i don’t ever want this to stop… eddy… ” he closed the distance again, grinding his hips against the clothed man beneath him. his hand slipped between them, alejandro palming at edward through the fabric, already knowing exactly what would drive him wild. they knew each other’s bodies so well it felt like second nature, like he could trace every line and curve from memory alone. “ need you… god, i need you so bad. ”

he didn’t care where they were. nothing else mattered. he arched into him, rolling his hips, chasing the heat and friction between them. “ tell me how you want me… tell me how bad you need me… ” he said, tugged edward’s shirt off, tossing it aside before leaning in to kiss and nip at his neck, still moving against him. his underwear slipped lower at the back, inch by inch, leaving him exposed and offering himself completely.

edward couldn't help but smirk a little wider when alejandro spoke, flickering his eyes downward for a split second as he debated making a joke, but made it anyway "and by the looks of it, that's the only thing you had covered, b" a joke that just like edward was extremely childish and almost easy, but in his mind, alejandro had set him up for it. he even felt a little bad for it when he heard what the man had to say next. of course he had his back. he always had. if edward was being honest, with the amount of 'friends' he had surroudning him back in high school, alejandro was the only one who really stuck with him. especially after the accident.

if edward was being honest it had been a while since he had been in a situation similar to this, and was a llittle glad that alejandro was the one breaking his dry streak. he hadn't come to the club looking to find himself in one of the backrooms with his best friend, but maybe if he knew things were going to lead down this particular path, he would have made an appearance at the playpen a lot sooner.

edwards moment of weakness was interupted by the sound of ale's voice once again. a sound that could always knock him out of any funk he was in. it was nice to hear that his friend didn't hate him for not reaching out. he had truly been trying to give alejandro the space he thought he deserved, and eddy had never been good at vibing when to take a step back and when to make a fuss. so he had been extra careful with this.

"it did mean something, Jandro." Edward muttered, barely audible as he looked at the man sat close to him. as they rested against one another he could see that look in alejandro's eyes, a look he had seen many times before. hearing alejandro admit that he was scared made edward feel even worse for not being there, but at the same time, he was glad he was here now. he tilted his head upward, their noses touching as the space between them grew smaller.

"I ain't going anywhere, babe." he whispered, as if it wasn't just them two there. the sadness in his eyes fading away as he looked into alejandros'. turning his head to the left, completely closing the gap. his lips pressing against ale's as he pushed his entire body forward. moving his hand to alejandro's waist. hoping he wouldn't regret this decision, and that alejandro wouldn't pull away from it.

[alejandroxflores]

hearing that it had actually meant something changed everything for alejandro. the words hit him straight in the chest and stayed there, warm and terrifying and hopeful all at once. stupid high school love wasn’t supposed to last, not for people like them. that’s what he’d always told himself. just friends. that was safer, but looking at edward now, so close he could feel his breath, that lie finally fell apart.

the room was familiar, somewhere he’d brought plenty of men before, but tonight it felt different. heavier. real. alejandro was still in nothing but his underwear from work, skin bare and exposed, while eddy stood there fully dressed, steady and solid. the contrast made him feel vulnerable in a way that had nothing to do with clothes.

when edward admitted it meant something to him too, alejandro’s chest ached. “ neither am i, baby. ” he murmured, already stepping closer. his bare chest brushed edward’s shirt and he shivered at the contact, like he’d been cold this whole time without realizing it. then their lips met, hard and desperate, years of holding back crashing together all at once. alejandro grabbed his shoulders to steady himself, kissing him like he was starving.

alejandro climbed into his lap without breaking the kiss, one leg sliding over his thigh as he straddled him. skin against denim, hands in edward’s hair, mouths moving slow and messy and hungry. every breath felt shared, every touch grounding. the kisses softened after a moment, deeper and slower, foreheads pressed together between them. alejandro held onto him tight, like if he let go this might disappear. it didn’t feel like lust. it felt like coming home. so he kissed him again, softer this time, and stayed there in edward’s arms, finally done pretending he didn’t want this.

his hands slid down edward’s chest, bunching the fabric of his shirt, tugging him closer like he needed more. their mouths found each other again, slower this time, hotter, lingering. alejandro rolled his hips just slightly, a quiet, needy motion before whispering between heated kisses. " should i stop? "

[ofauraandeyelashes]

Genn: I'm doing okay, I miss you. Sorry I've been so MIA. How are you doing??
