"Alexander Kane has finally found the one?" Tadashi read the headline of the news article.

"So you've seen it too?" Alexander shifted in his seat and turned his attention to his assistant.

"Probably before you did. We couldn't shut it down in time unfortunately, it was published in the blink of an eye." Tadashi made himself comfortable on a leather couch in the office.

The picture following the article was one of the Master and Riley lost in their own world. Hugging like they drew life from each other.

Small mercies; Riley's face was hidden in his shoulder.

"They'll publish another one soon," Alexander said. "To compare it with the first one."

"Oh no one's forgetting Kinky and Vanilla anytime soon. Ballsy move. You already have a fan page. Shut down of course."

"I don't care about that."

"I know you don't, I'm only doing my job."

Alexander didn't say anything about that.

That particular article had made it look like he was married to Mason for the sake of pleasure. It even suggested that they'd rushed to leave because they couldn't keep their hands off each other which was sort of true.

Mason had only smiled when he saw the article. "They have no idea, we make quite the pair," he'd said.

He noticed Tadashi looking at him expectantly. They stared at each other for a while.

"What?" Tadashi asked.

Alexander shook his head and got up, walking around his desk.

"I'm leaving early today," he said.

He'd left early the day before and a few days before that.

"You've got a meeting," Tadashi simply said.

"In about an hour or so. I'll be there."

"Are you– Is everything fine?" Tadashi asked.

Alexander nodded as his head went back to the men in his house. It was slowly becoming all he could think of lately.

He noticed a drift between them. Whatever it was, he chose not to comment on it.

Everyone did what they had to in order to win. As long as no rule was broken, he wouldn't be obligated to intervene. But more than anything, it irritated him.

It didn't make sense the way Jet was so sour all of a sudden. Almost angry.

Maybe he should take him out. Maybe that would help him cool off. But he'd talk to him first. Maybe he'd ask what was wrong first. Fuck, he was losing himself.

"I'll call you," said Tadashi.

"Hm."

"Where have you been going lately?" His assistant asked. "Just out of curiosity."

The words were out of his mouth before Alexander could think better of it. "I just want to see them."

It wasn't awkward silence that followed them like he'd expected. The other man only raised a questioning eyebrow.
