Picking up the boy who would be his fuck meat for the next 24 hours was a lot less interesting than he expected but a bit more sad than he expected.
Damien lived in the more or less "medium-low" region of the city in an apartment complex. They were quite compact buildings thay looked a bit like rundown concrete boxes put on top of each other with the objective of looking a bit like a respectable building. The rusty pipes, the botched painting job to hide some patches of mold or wet marks on the wall, and the clearly broken metal gate at the entrance didn't exactly inspire safety.
If he had been an inspector of some kind, he would've written this place up!
'Not safe, definitely not safe.' Grumbling mentally, Adam went upstairs- He got a few looks from the few people who were there, but he was confident that his intimidating appearance would keep others away. And, well, he has the physical strength to back that up as well as the fighting skills! He stopped at the door of apartment [067] and who answered the door wasn't Damien... But a younger boy- Probably between 15 to 16 years old, quite cute and short, because he looked up at him with wide eyes and a gaping open mouth, his jaw practically on the floor as he looked at him that immediately stirred something inside him. 'Oh, is this the [Plus One] drawback thing?' He knew that this drawback made it so some of the people he fucked would have a plus one that would like to get on the fun- the downside of this, is that he would be marked by the [Sodomania] perk after sex with then, which would make hkm highly promiscuous and horny, almost never rejecting sex from them, and finding sex with them highly addictive.
But because he also had that perk, it also affected whoever he had sex with!
He was quite the... sexual guy, but he could control himself to a certain extent. So, when he saw this boy he immediately felt a bit attracted to him and knew that he could possibly be Damien's [Plus One], so he got even more interested because of how the Drawback works! He knows that whoever he fucks has another person who would want to join in and he gets the [Sodomania] perk effect him as if the two had said perk and used it on him- meaning he doesn't feel the need to deny them sex whenever they ask for it for three months, sex with them feel highly addictive, and his libido goes through the roof as he becomes more promiscuous and horny. 'His brother, perhaps? He is quite adorable- I think I should keep him too.' Oh, so this was the effect of the drawback, huh? He doesn't feel any different, so maybe he would've fucked the younger brother regardless of drawbacks too.
He quicklg snapped out of his thoughts with a grin as he said to- who he assumed was -Damien's younger brother: "Heh. You're not the cute boy I thought I was takin' home with me tonight..." He looked through the gap of the door to see into the apartment, and he saw what he could only describe as a pigs apartment. Trash everywhere on the ground, dirt and grime on the corners, and even a few cockroaches here and there: "...I assume I'm in the right place?" If he is in the right place, there's no way he's letting Damien stay one more day in this shit hole.
"Oh fuck, he's hot-" Maybe he didn't mean to say it out loud, but he didn't seem to notice that he did as he turned to look back and sighed. He took a moment to embarrassingly looked down at the dirty apartment and scream back into it: "Uncle Damien! Your boyfriend's here!" Uncle? Adam's brain quickly and immediately started to make the connections- If he is Damien's nephew, then Damien has either an older brother or older sister (or older sibling, gender is a spectrum) who was way older than he himself is, or said hypothetical older sibling adopted the boy. Or, just maybe, he just calls him that! The boy looked back up at him, he still looked ashamed of being surrounded by the filth around him as he said: "He's, uhm, he was in his room so he should be coming here soo-"
It was at that moment that Damien appeared.
He looked... nervous. Or, maybe, anxious about something? He seemed to take a look back into the apartment before he pushed out of the apartment: "He's not my boyfriend, brat..." It was then that he looked at him and Adam could feel the combined effects of [Natural Actor], [To The Victor] (because he knocked him out yesterday), and [Porn Star]. It took one look for Damien to just stop and take his appearance as a blessing- his jaw had also dropped, and he looked downright adorable. Adam considered collaring him then and there, but he stayed silent. His [Bully] perk did make him intimidating, but it also granted him what he constantly used- Presence. Also known Aura, it is the human pattern recognition protocol installed deep within their monkey brains that analyze everything about somebody and categorize them as a threat. He is big, he is muscular, he and he has something about him that makes him intimidating.
All these had the unforseen consequences of making him unnaturally hot, under the right circumstances.
Like, say, meeting somebody who has been affected by three of his perks? Adam took this opportunity to grin and ask a very important question- a question that decided if he swooped the guy off of his feet and took him to live with him, no questions asked about his home situation or why it looked so bad. "Oh, so..." He leaned in against the door, pushing and flexing his muscles to make himself look bigger and activate some neurons in the boy's sub brain- Big man, big cock, big daddy! He watched in full time as Damien's brain processed how he looked and decided "oh, this is it" because he grew a tent almost immediately: "What am I to you, boy?" He also made sure to take a look at Damien's nephew, and he was looking at him with the same wide-eyed look a doe might have before getting run over by a car.
"I- you're... sir." The words flowed out of his mouth easily soon afte, almost like a damn had been broken: "You're my sir. My... my daddy." If the look of shock and not-so-subtle lust Damien's nephew had given him was any indication of what he was thinking about, the tent in his shorts would. Adam scored two erections in one move, and that was a funny combo! Damien looked downright plowable, but he would need to take him away into his home where he wouldn't have the risk of getting tetanus by stepping into the place... Well, his place is a bit barren, but it is much better than this!
"Good answer, boy. I'm yours, and you're mine." He looked down at the backpack on Damien's hand- it didn't look much, it probably didn't have many clothes inside judging by the way it doesn't look like it weights. And that? That made Adam's horny brain halt... Not enough clothes, not enough friends, got attached to a situationship he was blackmailing, got rejected, lives in a shit hole, has a nephew that seems to like him, probably has an older sibling... It was like he was checking off a bunch of boxes, because Adam's brain came to a conclusion that made him pause: 'Oh... does my [Hard Times] perk make me a magnet for traumatized, neglected or otherwised abused boys?'
Well, the wording on the [Hard Times] perk states that "you are considered a safe and reliable source for anyone who wants practical knowledge of the ins and outs of gay sex", but the whole "safe and reliable" seemed to be turned up to eleven! Well, he is daddy, so it should probably be obvious that his kinks would influence the perks- Oh, mark that another perk that Damien is probably being affected by! Him and his nephew.
"Hey, Tommy you lil shit, get me a damn beer- Who's at the fuckin' door!?"
A deep and growly voice- from years of smoking, he could recognize that -came from deeper into the apartment, and he saw both boys tense. His protective instincts immediately went overdrive as his mind whispered 'can't let that happen to somebody else' into his heart, and he knew there was no way he could walk away- just like he claimed Kaleb, he really wants these two now. 'Fuck, okay, shit.' He mentally cursed him: 'Why the fuck am I such a fuckin' sap!?' His eyes hardened as he looked towards the woman who pushed his boys back into the filthy apartment. Just like the ground, she looked absolutely filthy. She was razor thin, and by disheveled look and wide eyes, she most likely was either drunk or high on something. He immediately checked her arms and found nothing, so he checked her nose and lips and found some traces of a white substance, but he did not make any sharp assumptions beyond "probable drug user" and making small plans on how to get her to overdose.
Damien is 18, right? He could, theoretically, get custody for his nephew if the boy's mother were to die of, who knows, overdose?
"Ooh, who are you? A model or somethin'?" She chuckled at her own joke- Adam saw her yellow and rotting teeth and marked another box in his mind. "Fancy meetin' ya, big boy, lookin' for some fun~? I'll say, the prices are sharp!" He controlled his revulsion and repulsion from showing on his face, using his [Natural Actor] and [Faking It] perks for the first time- Reality bent within his mind and his hatred and slightly murderous desires were put in a tiny, neat little box for later. He was here to find out who she was, what she wanted, and how to get his boys- its too late, he already claimed them, they're his now -out of this place without her calling the police and without outright killing her. He would last long in prison, most likely making many prisoners and even a few guards his bitches, but he would rather not film prison porn. "Unless you'd like the other kind of merchandise... Or the other, other kind."
"Oh, what kind?" He curiously asked, keeping a polite smile on his face. He was an actor, this is his act. Keep it together-
"Oh, this fellow here- He's a natural born slut you see? Born for it!"
-Adam forgot about one thing... [Porn Without Plot], a perk that makes him have sexual encounters straight (or gay) out of porn. Like, you know, forced prostitution! "Oh, really? The two of them? Are they even fresh?" He asked in a curious and netural tone, making sure he relied heavily on his [Faking It] perk that made him oh so good at lying to himself so he wouldn't explode and kill the bitch. He was checking in to see if the boys were virgins, so as to know if she had sold them to somebody else before, but even saying the word "fresh" made his skin crawl and feel disgusted by himself. He was an actor, but that doesn't mean he can't hate his own character sometimes.
"Meh- this one's here a slut-" She pointed to Damien, who seemed to shrink into himself. "But this here? Mah son?" She pointed to "Timmy", her son and Damien's nephew, a grin on her ugly face as she proudly- fucking proudly -stated, with a smug tone: "Fresh as fuck! Never taken a dickin' in his life, tight as a virgin nun's pussy an' ready to take sum dick!" It was clear to him that she was most likely drunk, but drunk lips speak the heart's truth.
"Well, I'll take both!" He smiled- with a swift and "polite" push of his finger, he pressed the woman back into the apartment to make way for his boys to come out of the trash ridden apartment: 'Permanently.' He wanted to say, but kept it together. He really wanted to kill her- you know what? There's a lot of rusty iron things around here... And she's drunk! Who knows? Maybe she didn't stab herself twenty seven times in the chest with a rusty knife! Or maybe she had mistaken a syringe full of air with a rusty and infected needle for her drugs! He contained himself- he needs to make it look like an accident! He can't murder her when there's witnesses around! Even if said witnesses would most likely vouch for him in a court of law. "If you'd be so kind to tell me the price for a night?" He already made plans to make some arrangements... Like, say, giving her a bunch of drugs! But first he needs to make sure Damien can keep Tim's custody...
He already planned to use his [Costume] item to become a lawyer and get their skills while also filing a porn where his character was a lawyer so he could use [Fake It] to convince others he is a lawyer.
Maybe he should do just that!
"Well, eager, aren't ya?" The woman didn't seem to care that he pushed her- she pushed her son and her brother out of the apartment while also putting her hand out: "Well, normally for the whore here I'd charge 50, but since you're taking the virgin boy too... 150!"
"Do keep the change." He smiled, giving her 150 dollars. He already had the notions of a plan in mind: "Oh, and I trust nobody will know? Because if somebody does learn of this exchange, I will destroy you." He asked while using his [Bully] and [Leverage] perks to both have an intimidating stance and know how far he has to push to get the bitch to agree. He felt like he had a meter on his mind, and that if he screamed ["25 stab wounds!"] or something, she'd spontaneously combust from stress... If he pushed hard enough, maybe? 'Another way to kill the bitch?' He noted it down, mentally. He could also use the [Costume] item to dress up as a thief or home invader and get the skills necessary to get into her apartment in the middle of the night without anyone knowing... 'Make that 5 ways to kill her.'
"Well, as long as you don't do anythin' that leaves a mark... Go wild!"
"Excellent." He turned to look at the two boys, feeling dirty as the worst of sinners crawling their way through boiling rivers of pitch and mud, as he said: "Come, now." And turning away. He did not look behind him as he was walking down the hall, he did not look behind him as he walked down the stairs, and he did not look behind him when he heard footsteps quickly catching up to him.
He stopped once he left the apartments, and punched the entrace's metal door.
It immediately flew off the handle, into the outside, skipping five times and landing beside a few bags of trash- there was a cat's scream that echoed in the dark. 'Metal, flew over 55 feet with my punch...' His hands were not hurting and neither were they bleeding, they might get sore or swollen, but he didn't care. He had to punch something! He took a deep breath, shook his hand, and sighed heavily.
"I am going to kill her."
