Tales From Dragon Inc.

Distraction

Zarc muttered under his breath as he looked at the doorbell cam outside the front door of his apartment from his office computer. His crazy ex from seven years ago was at his front door ringing the doorbell incessantly. What was wrong with her? It was 10AM on a Wednesday! Clearly he wasn't home!

Yuri walked into Zarc's office with the monthly finance report. When he saw the look on the CEO's face, he frowned. "What's wrong?"

"Remember how I told you about my ex?" Zarc said. Yuri thought for a moment. "Which one? Ray?" Zarc shook his head. "No, Casey."

"Oh, the crazy one. She's the one that keyed your car because you gave her red roses when you first met her in person instead of pink ones, right?" Yuri said. Zarc nodded. "Yeah, that's the one. She apparently remembers where I live even after seven years, and she's at my front door right now, ringing my doorbell nonstop."

"What the hell?" Yuri walked over to Zarc's desk and looked at the computer screen. Casey was now banging on the door and shouting for Zarc. "What is wrong with her?"

"She's insane," Zarc sighed. Yuri nodded and sat down on top of the desk, crossing his legs elegantly. "Wasn't she like... American or something? You were in a long-distance relationship for six months before you met in person, right?"

"Yeah, and she moved back to America when we broke up a month later," Zarc replied. "Actually I had to contact her parents and get them to come to Japan and drag her back home because she was refusing to leave me alone. They said they wouldn't let her leave the country again for at least five years. But apparently she still hasn't forgotten my address."

"Maybe it's time to move to a new home," Yuri suggested. "I mean, you've been living in that apartment for almost eleven years, right? Maybe it's about time to get a proper house."

"You know, I've been considering it," Zarc admitted. "I'd love to get a new place. My apartment is tiny, and I've had my eye on a few nice houses in the suburbs, as well as a few of the abandoned houses in the countryside."

"Ooh, you know those abandoned houses often need heavy renovations," Yuri said. Zarc nodded. "Yes I know, but I've found a few semi-decent ones. And I could renovate them into my dream home too!"

"True," Yuri agreed.

A particularly loud scream of Zarc's name from his ex on the camera startled Yuri into almost falling off the desk. It seemed that Casey had discovered the doorbell camera and was screaming into it. Zarc growled in frustration as he hit the mute button, and Yuri chuckled as he recovered from his mini heart attack. He began rubbing his foot against Zarc's thigh, and walking his fingers up the CEO's arm. "Looks like you could use a distraction~"

Zarc gazed into Yuri's purple eyes and considered the implied offer. Then he leaned in close to the cabbage-head. "Try to stay quiet this time, my sweet blossom~" he purred into Yuri's ear, before kissing his neck. A delicate, barely noticeable shiver of excitement ran down Yuri's spine. This was going to be fun!

Zarc kissed Yuri sweetly about an hour later as he helped the now exhausted and very satisfied cabbage button his shirt back up. "You're always such a pleasure to love on, my dear. You sound so cute trying to stay quiet."

Yuri blushed, still trying to catch his breath. "Sh-shut up... I'm not cute," he mumbled, but Zarc could see him trying not to smile at the sweet compliment. Yuri may act like a jerk to most people in public, but he loved being complimented and showered in affection by his boyfriends.

Besides, the hour-long spicy session definitely did its job of distracting Zarc from his problems. The next time he looked at the cameras, he saw his ex being escorted away from his apartment door by security.
