Chapter Text
“Where the fuck did Ez hide my eyeliner...That fucker had to do it before me getting in here. That bitch.”
Kayn pushed the makeup in the drawer around, back and forth looking for the product. All to no avail.
"Has your brain finally fried you fool? " The deep dark voice in Kayn's head chuckled at the long black haired man struggle to find the eyeliner.
"Shut the fuck up Rhaast, you're not helping me" He groaned, opening another drawer in the vanity. The lights of which flickered slightly, threatning to go out at any second.
" I could. You just have to give up and let me control your meat suit "
Kayn raised his eyes to look at himself in the mirror. Brushing the blue streak on his hair back, adjusting his neatly done hair. His left eye glowed red, knowing that the unwanted brain roommate was watching his actions carefully.
"I know you don't know know what eyeliner is Rhaast. You just want my body and go on a killing spree."
" I know it's mortal shit you put on your face only to cry it off when you're deep throating cock- "
"Shut!" Kayn looked down, gripping the edge of the vanity harshly. " Just shut up. Not tonight. I have work."
Rhaast groaned loudly.
Then, Kayn's body jolted. One of his arms moved on it's own, hand grabbing onto his own jaw. Making him look at himself in the mirror. Kayn gritted his teeth, using his other hand to control the other arm. It took a couple of long seconds, but inevitably, Rhaast let go.
" You owe me a night Kayn. Do not forget it. I am growing impatient. "
"Well, becoming Runeterra's most wanted is not going to get you the night you want. So shut it and let me work."
Rhaast hummed a displeased tone. It made Kayn's head tickle.
Kayn grabbed the eyepatch that sat on his vanity, one decorated with silver details. Tying it around his head and covering the red eye.
"Kayn are you almost done? Aphelios is about to finish his song." Pushing past the curtain, Yone peeked in, his dark long hair swaying along on his neatly done pony tail.
"Almost, I just need to find my eyeliner and that's it." Kayn got back to looking for the item. Slamming the drawer upon finding nothing once again. "Will be out in a second."
Kayn could hear Yone's pen do the clicky noise. Something he knew Yone does when he is thinking.
"... Silver today huh."
Kayn glanced back at Yone. His face remained serious, like every time he had done a passing comment to what Kayn wore out to stage. Today it was silver indeed. Kayn wore a gray sheet mesh crop top, all to show off his nipple piercings that drove some of his clients insane. Followed by some shiny silver shorts that were tight enough to sculpt his ass. Next was a pair of shiny sheer nude colored fishnets, complimented with the shiny silver colored typical stripper boots. It's not his best fit, but it was all that was left in his closet this week.
"Not your favorite?~" Kayn snickered. "I know your whole thing is red and all..."
Kayn would be lying if he said he hadn't been trying to get in Yone's pants since he got there. Kind of glad Sett asked him to join the club after being tresspassed by his last one. Everyone in this one was hot, and he had an agenda for each one. But Yone? He's not fallen for his usual tactics.
"I didn't say that." Yone hummed, looking down at the clipboard.
"Then what are you saying"
" Just beg to suck his dick already shit... "
Kayn scratched the back of his neck, digging his nails into his skin. Keeping that flirty grin on his face and ignoring Rhaast.
"Well..."
The curtain raised and Ezreal emerged. Looking between Yone and Kayn with a curious stare. "What's with the meet up fellas?"
Kayn's eye widened when he immediately noticed Ezreal had been wearing a dark silver outfit tonight. Though in opposite of Kayn, Ezreal was wearing a silver halo on his head and small black wings on his back. Angel of darkness type of stuff in a way. It made Rhaast cackled. All while Ezreal lit up like a christmas tree.
"Oh my god we are matching!!" Ezreal teased and laughed.
"Oh fuck this" Kayn groaned, shaking his head. "I'm fetching yesterdays fit."
"No. You're not allowed to wear the same thing twice in a row." Yone clicked his pen again.
"Huh? Where is that said?!"
Ezreal waltzed passed, still giggling. Sitting one vanity away from Kayn's. "It's said in orientation. Did you not pay attention to Alune?"
"Shut up twinkaloid" Kayn gave the other a half glare. "Also where's my eyeliner!?"
"Up your ass" Ezreal rolled his eyes and looked into the bottom drawer. Tossing it over to him. "Calm down Kayn, you're supposed to be the good angel."
" Yeah... good at spreading your legs. "
Kayn clicked his tongue and started working on his eyeliner. Though through a glimpse in the mirror, he could see that Yone was lowly chuckling. Oh how tired he was already, but alas it was already late.
The second he set the eyeliner down, Aphelios emerged from under the curtain. Dollars hanging on for dear life from the edges of his dark purple outfit. Belts wrapped around his bicepts, thighs and chest.
"You're up Kayn" Yone turned and walked out, the curtain falling closed.
"Break a leg bitch~" Ezreal giggled, munching on some sweet gummy bears as Kayn walked out. Aphelios signing 'good luck' as he passed him.
Walking down the hall towards the glimmering lights and the loud music was something Kayn got used to quickly. The thrill and excitement ran like a drug in his system. One foot out the hallway into the stage, and eyes were immediately on him. Much more with the help of the spotlights that ran around the entire ceiling. There were claps, whistles, cheers and the overall excitement from the crowd.
And once his hand was on that pole, it was show time.
-- -- --
"BWAHAHAHA WHY ARE EZREAL AND KAYN TWINING?"
Sett's laugh echoed in the backroom, all while Kayn cussed under his breath. Sipping on his whiteclaw.
A mini bar was set up in the backrooms so the guys could enjoy alcohol without being harrased after hours.
"It wasn't on purpose" Ezreal's blonde head popped out from behind the counter besides K'sante. Whom was cleaning some of the glasses and putting them in boxes. Seems both Sett and K'sante were on bouncer duty tonight. Kayn hadn't noticed until now the matching tight uniform both wore. Hell, even Yone was wearing one too. The black turtle necks and black tights truly sculped their bodies to be great eye candy.
"But it was cute~ We should plan an outfit together" Ezreal gasped. "We can shop together!"
" Heh. Twinks that shop together get fucked together " Rhaast's voice made Kayn pissed. Oh how he wanted to grab his alter ego by the neck and shake him around like that one kermit meme he saw the other day.
"Doesn't seem like Kayn likes that idea very much..." K'sante chuckled, serving himself whiskey.
Kayn frowned slightly, scratching his neck again while he sighed. " In your dream twinkatron"
"Oh you're no fun" Ezreal sighed. "Aphelios shops with me all the time, it'll be fun! Plus I'll have someone to actually talk to that responds..."
Kayn watched Ezreal grimace in real time, as Aphelios' head turned slightly towards the blonde man. His eyes squinting slightly. Kayn has heard many things specifically about Aphelios. Silent but deadly type being something that was repeated overall, him and Yone being the ones to have knowledge in BDSM. Last time Kayn had delved a finger into that area, he had issues walking for three days.
" You're curious what twisted thoughts the silent boy has in mind at the bedroom, whore "
Of course he does, who wouldn't? Aphelios truly looks like the type of guy Kayn could beat up in a fight. How would someone like that do BDSM?
"Aphelios talks! Well not all the time but he does talk!" Sett raised his finger. "Maybe not loudly, but-"
Aphelios hit Sett with his elbow. Sett whined and pouted at Aphelios, as the latter sipped on some tea looking stuff.
"I think they get the point." Yone was reading the clipboard, only to peer under a page before using his pen and writing.
Kayn had truly hit the golden buzzer with landing in a place with hot guys all over. Everywhere he looked was such an attractive view. Would he stare? he'd try not to. It was enough hearing Rhaast call him horny everytime he even looks at someone for x amount of seconds.
"Is everyone here?"
Alune walked through the door, closing it behind herself as she greeted some with a wave.
"Alunee!" Ezreal smiled, going around the bar to hug the girl. " Where were you!? You missed my set"
"Had to run some errands, and help some of the girls get home too" Alune chuckled. "I'll be here next time I promise"
Ezreal kept pouting and that poutful face made Kayn chuckle.
"Oh Kayn you're still in your outfit?" Alune questioned as she walked over. Sitting along with Kayn. "It's a bit cold in here"
"Eh. The cold never bothered me anyway" He commented, crushing the can in his hands. "Ey Sante, pass me another one"
K'sante did so, sliding it across the bar counter till Kayn stopped the can with his hand.
"Anything going on?" Yone had gotten up from the couch he was sitting in, walking over to the bar and sitting besides Alune. "Did you check on what you told me last time?"
Kayn listened attentively, as much as he could while hearing the low sound of Rhaast humming. Either he was listening because it's Alune or he's just bored.
"About that..." She sighed deeply. "I have bad news."
The entire group basically went silent, now alert.
"So I did a recap of all expenses. Plus all the things that we need to upgrade, and with our current pay out... We won't be able to run at full capacity... at least for a good few months. Even year"
Kayn glanced around, noting everyone's expressions. Some were concern, others were very pensative. Kayn was one of the last ones to join the club so he wasn't completely close to truly understand. But if he knew something, it was that money was everything in the industry. If the facility isn't all that great, clients will not stick around even if the entertainment is good. With that said, it was easy to tell where this story was heading.
"... Anything we can do to help?" Yone broke the silence, tapping his clipboard. Kayn now noting that the clipboard was full with notes of Yone keeping tabs of everything going on tonight.
"Well... if any of you has spare coin. Or contractors that can work the minimum... that would help slightly. But I don't want to ask any of you for sacrifices. Everyone is already doing everything possible to keep this show running." Alune rubbed her hands together.
"But if we can do a little more, we could make it work I think?" Ezreal hovered back around the counted and grabbed some water for Alune. Sliding it across to her.
"We're already working around everyones schedules. Any more and it'll be impossible even to pee."
"Shit..." Kayn opened his second whiteclaw, but with such a somber mood it was a little hard to enjoy the alcohol.
"I was about to say... With how things are, we'd have to come up with something additional for the club" K'sante chimed in.
"Come up with something? Like what?" Ezreal glanced at the tall dark skinned man.
"Uh I don't know... fundraiser?" K'sante shrugged.
"Hehehe... "Help us shake ass for 5 gold " that's a good line for the campaign..." Kayn chuckled.
" You're desperate enough to do it for free " Rhaast's comment almost made Kayn slip up.
"I don't think a fundraiser would be the move to make..." Yone commented. "But the question now would be, what then?"
"... I could probably talk to my modeling agency. But I can't promise anything." Ezreal tapped his lips with a finger as he went into thought.
Aphelios walked behind the counter, grabbing some water. All before taking a brief sip and signing to his sister and the rest of the group gathered by.
"Maybe we should make like an event of sorts. Or maybe we make something to sell..."
"... I think Aphelios is onto something." Yone stated. "But what can we sell?"
"Oh! Oh those cookies that Sett brought that one time!" K'sante glanced at the pink haired one.
"Ah, those were my ma's cookies... she doesn't quite know about the club thing" Sett chuckled.
"Please don't tell me we're gonna shake ass and have a barbecue" Kayn laughed. "If so, I'll bring the fire for the grill"
"You'll set off the smoke detectors" Ezreal looked concerned at the idea, that or the image of Kayn wielding fire.
"Then what can we do?" Alune swirled the water in the glass.
"... what if we just star a band?"
Everyone turned to look at Sett. Both curious and surprised at the suggestion. Kayn could see Sett sort of started sweating from the stares. "I mean... I think that would be a cool idea?"
"We make a band? Mmm..." Ezreal hummed. "... I did take singing lessons when I was younger"
"I have done music related things not so long ago" K'sante seemed to be warming up to the idea.
"... I've done dj sessions before." Yone stated.
Alune smiled, looking at Aphelios. " You have composed a few track yourself right Phel?"
Aphelios nodded.
"Hehehe I can rap a little" Sett smiled brightly. "I think this could work if we put our heads in the game"
"Mmmm" Kayn hummed.
" I want to rap." Rhaast' voice was loud. Even taking Kayn by surprise. " We will rap. "
Kayn sighed. "I have a background in rap"
The way Sett glanced at Kayn with those sparkly eyes of his, it was kind of cute.
"I have no musical knowledge, but I can help with handling band afairs... guess we have the idea" Alune cheered up tremendously in the last two minutes and it showed.
"Hell yeah!" He threw his arm around Kayn, pulling him in and almost making him spill his beer. "We're going to be a band!"
"Hold your horses Sett, we have a lot of plan now." Yone pressed on the clipboard to release the paper he was writing in and flipping it over. Now writing down another thing. "Though with how things are, maybe we should plan to organize things another night. If we plan on making this work, we must be organized"
"I agree" Aphelios signed. "I can make a chat for band things."
"Oooh this is so exciting~" Ezreal smiled, already typing on his phone again what Kayn could assume is those cutesy aesthetic notes he's seen on his instagram sometimes.
By this point of the night, the group was still chattering about on the whole band thing. Meanwhile, Kayn was starting to feel restless. Sure he did good money tonight, but his regulars weren't in. Guess the lack of action and all the substance was slowly getting to him. Call it a crave to get laid. Seeing as everyone was too focused, he discarted the posibility to chime in.
"Well fuckers, cue to leave. Text me when y'all got the chat or whatever" Hopping off the stool, he made his way out. Even when Sett pouted.
"Tired already Kayn? You don't seem like the time to have the 4 am bed time" Ezreal teased, definitely knowing Ezreal has seen his late night posts about vandelizing billboards.
"Nah. Theres still enough work to do out there. I'll let you band nerds sort things out" Kayn flipped Ezreal off before dipping out through the back of the building.
Walking around the building and crossing the street, Kayn could see the glowing sign of the club. Paranoia Point, standing high and mighty. Even if the lights of the i in Paranoia was out of commission. Something that made Kayn chuckle everytime he saw it. Oh how funny words were.
"Hey Rhaast"
" What? "
"Why do you want to rap?" Kayn asked as he walked down the street, back facing the club as the club's sign dimmed and turned off for the night.
" If this banter of idiots is successful. We will be know across the land. " Rhaast sounded quite serious, which was not the usual mocking tone Kayn had gotten used to.
"You want fame..." Kayn chuckled.
" What is there to laugh about that? "
"I thought you wanted to be know as the world conquerer."
" ... We can be both. "
"We?"
Kayn had walked down an alley, stopping in the middle of it as Rhaast had said that line. The sirens of the city filled his ears as the silence in his head felt extremely long. Rhaast was certainly taking long to answer.
" I will make sure we rise above everyone Kayn. Both in the real world and the music world. We will triumph over all. "
The long black haired man grinned, looking up to the sky. The cool air of the night sending shivers down back into his very bones.
"You're gonna have to prove that to me, Rhaast."
Rhaast chuckled, the echo of his laughter in tune with the malicious thoughts of Kayn.
" Oh I will. Just you wait. "
