It was a dark night. The rain pouring and the city looking bright with lights. The colors merging together in the rain puddles making a beautiful collage of pinks, reds, blues, grays, and purples. Leslie was headed to the bar after a long day of work. The work uniform was tight and hot, making it unbearable for him. He liked the rain very much so, especially when he was in his uniform. As he entered the bar, he shook his head from any water that hid itself in his golden locks. He sat at the main bar, wiping his head from any rain water. He asked for a simple drink and laid his head on the desk. A man sat next to him. His hair was kinda messy and he looked a little tense. He ordered a stronger drink than Leslie's. Leslie is a lightweight. He can't handle strong drinks. Leslie got his drink and started taking sips. The man looked at him and smirked.
"What?" Leslie asked.
"Oh nothing..." the man said. "I'm just surprised. You look like a guy that can handle... something stronger." He continued. Leslie kinda took offense.
"Hey! I can handle a little stronger..." He said nervously.
"Yeah... I doubt it." The man said, chuckling. "Let's do a bet. We start with soft drinks, then we go harder. If you're able to met my expectations and stomach at least one strong drink, I'll pay for everything. If you can't... you owe me a favor." He said smirking. Leslie tensed up.
"Fine! Deal!" Leslie said. The man smiled and reached his hand out for a shake.
"By the way, my name is Erysichthon. It's a pleaser to met you." Leslie shook his hand.
"The names Leslie. It's a girl's name I know. My parents just wanted to torture me." He said with a smile. Erysichthon chuckled.
"Well it's a nice name. Let's get to our bet..." He said with a smirk. There was drink after drink after drink. Leslie made it farther then he thought he would considering how much of a lightweight he is. He had around 6 drinks before he was fully wasted. He was on the verge of throwing up. Erysichthon helped him to the bathroom where Leslie threw up his guts, so to say.
"Hey, you don't look so good." Erysichthon told him.
"I'm... fin-" Leslie tried to say but immediately threw up.
"No. You're not. Come on. I'll take you to my place and take care of you there." Erysichthon suggested.
"S-Sure..." Leslie said, wiping the vomit off with his arm. The reason why he said yes was because of his parents. He still lives with them and he didn't want them to see him trashed. He also didn't want his parents to think that Erysichthon was his boyfriend. He wasn't gay, but his parents are convinced he is. Erysichthon helped him clean up and they went to his car. Erysichthon tried to be careful while driving so Leslie doesn't throw up, which would be a lose-lose situation. Leslie would throw up, and it'll be all over his car. Leslie ended up passing out in the car. He woke up in a giant bed. He was confused about where he was, until he saw Erysichthon come in. He had a tray at had a tall glass of water and a nice plate of food. He was surprised because his parents don't even do that. He lifted his head but laid back down because of the pain.
"Oh! Just lay down. Here, drink some water, it'll help." Erysichthon gave him the glass and set the tray on the table. Leslie grabbed the glass. He hesitated but drank some. Then cold water hitting his parched throat was like heaven. The water kinda helped his headache.
"Okay, just lay down. And of you can eat, do so. Just rest." Erysichthon said. Leslie obeyed and laid down. He fell asleep and woke up later with a large lizard on him. He screamed and Erysichthon bursts through the door.
"CHARLIE!" He yelled. The large lizard turned around to look at him. The lizard's tongue acted like a dog panting when he looked at him. The lizard rushed off of Leslie and onto Erysichthon. He chuckled as the large lizard rubbed its head under his.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?" Leslie yelled.
"It's my baby Charlie. He's a Komodo Dragon." Erysichthon said with a smile.
"WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GET IT?!" Leslie yelled in response.
"Oh... I stole him!"
"YOU WHAT?!"
"I stole him! From the zoo! When he was a baby. So I raised him." Erysichthon looked down at Charlie and smiled while talking about him. Leslie was kinda shocked. Erysichthon looked at Leslie and stopped smiling.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Um... nothing... " Leslie responded. He smiled awkwardly and Erysichthon looked at him seriously. Leslie started getting worried. Erysichthon smirked at him.
"Are you scared of him?" He asked.
"What? N-No..." Leslie responded nervously.
"Really? Then come here." He said kinda commandingly. Leslie did as he was told and sat next to Erysichthon. Erysichthon grabbed Leslie's hand and put it on Charlie's head. Leslie panicked at first but slowly started getting used to it. He started petting Charlie's head more and more without Erysichthon's hand leading the way. Erysichthon smirked watching the both of them.
"Hey did you want something to eat? Charlie kinda ate the stuff that I set up for you..." Erysichthon said smiling.
"Um... sure. I would mind something to eat." Leslie said, still petting Charlie. Erysichthon led Leslie toward the kitchen. The house was so big, it was on step away for being a mansion. Leslie was in awe because he's never seen a house so big. They walked to the dining room where Leslie took a seat. Erysichthon went to the kitchen and was making something, that had a interesting smell. He came out and put the plate in front of Leslie.
"Umm... what's this?" Leslie asked confused.
"It's salisbury steak. It's really good in my opinion." Erysichthon said with a smile. Leslie looked at it for a couple of seconds before actually trying it. He really enjoyed it.
"This is actually pretty good!" Leslie said.
"I'd knew you would like it!" Erysichthon cheerfully said. Leslie smiled back shyly.
"I've never had fancy food like this. We could never be able to afford it." Leslie said with a sassed smile.
"Well... I'm here if you need money." Erysichthon suggested. Leslie smiled a bit and chuckled.
"Thanks but no thanks. I don't want to be taking money from someone I just met." Leslie said. Erysichthon shrugged.
"At least I tried." Erysichthon said with a smirk. Leslie chuckled. "I'm surprised that you even accepted the steak I gave you. I would've thought that you would be paranoid about accepting food from a so called 'stranger'. I could've poisoned it." Erysichthon said with a smirk. This made Leslie uneasy.
"B-But you wouldn't to that... r-right?" He asked nervously.
"Well... we'll have to wait and see..." He responded with a smirk and hooded eyes. Leslie felt uneasy. Both mentally and physically. He felt himself getting tired. He ended up passing out right on the table. Erysichthon looked at him and smirked. Erysichthon grabbed Leslie and put him on the table, pushing off the plate that made a crashing noise on the floor. Erysichthon tied him down and got a scalpel. He carefully and precisely removed his skin, cutting threw the little tendons that connected the skin to the muscle and meat. After taking off his skin, he cut the meat into parts. He took off Leslie's parts and fed it to Charlie, who happily ate them. He put the meat into air lock bags and put them in the freezer except for one piece of meat. He grounded up the meat, then packed the meat into a patty shape. He then cooked it with a gravy like sauce. When he was done, he looked at his masterpiece, proud fully.
"Salisbury Steak... my favorite. And apparently it was yours too. Well... I hope you liked they way Addison tasted. She was a nice hunk of meat, and woman. She was so hot." He smirked while looking at the food on the table. "Good think I fucked her before I ate her." He said, his smirk faded and turned into a scowl, and his eyes hooded. He sat down and started eating. He looked at Charlie who was curled up into a ball like a dog. "You know Charlie. I hate acting like a care. But it's all worth it in the end." He ate about 3/4's of it and gave the rest to Charlie. "Eat up baby. You deserve it." He said while petting Charlie's head.
