At Maison Rouge, pleasure is sold by the hour. Haruto has spent years perfecting the art of detachment. As the brothel's most requested companion, he gives his clients what they want -a body, a smile, a fantasy- while keeping his heart carefully locked away. Until David walks in. David doesn't ask for pleasure. He doesn't want conversation. Every week, he books Haruto, wraps himself in his arms... and falls asleep. Nothing more, nothing less. Frustrated by David's emotional distance yet drawn to his quiet vulnerability, Haruto finds himself anticipating visits from the man who never truly sees him. But everything changes when Haruto learns David's real identity and that his arrangement with the man who refuses to touch him extends far beyond Maison Rouge's silk sheets. Forced into each other's lives, they must navigate tangled pasts, sleepless nights, and a fragile desire neither dares to name. Because sometimes, love isn't found in passion... ...but in the arms where you finally sleep. ------------------------------ This is pure fiction.

TW: SELF-HARM This is a BXBXBXB story. Don't like, don't read. "Be careful, Fayez, not to touch anything or anyone. Keep your gloves on at all times, my sweet prince, or who knows what might happen". Fayez is the last-born child of one of the strongest family of vampires that ever existed. According to most, he should have led an easy life, for money was never a problem and he had many servants more than willing to fulfill his wishes. Fayez had everything to be happy, except for the fact that he was a burden to his own parents. See, there was something terribly wrong with his hands: everything he touched became rotten, so he had to keep his gloves on at all times. He was a leathal weapon, one that had to be kept a secret, so that other people wouldn't try to use his curse for their own benefit. When Fayez turned 21, his parents decided that their son could not be kept secluded in their castle any longer, and that it was more than time for him to face the outside world. They sent him to the prestigious ISB - Institute for Supernatural Beings, where every supernatural creature from age 20 to age 30 is given a special training to enhance his natural capabilities. How will the priviledged Fayez, who only ever knew the faces of his family and servants, survive in a place where most of the residents have experienced violence and cruelty from a very young age, and are street smart? More importantly, can this haughty, strong yet inexperienced, touch-depraved young man learn how to love and be loved in return, or is he far too gone already?
