Dark eyes peeked over the rim of his glasses as Gannicus plodded into the room, prompting a small smile and a head nod out of the youngest roommate. Atop the kitchen table a plethora of school books and papers lay scattered about along with an old beat up laptop that was likely on it's last leg given the clinking sound it was making. Pietros looked like he hadn't slept in a week. Dark circles hung under his eyes, his hair was frazzled, he was likely wearing the same clothes as 3 days ago, but he was a smart cookie. He was 14 when he graduated high school and earned his bachelors. His obtained his Masters at 16 and now at 19, Pietros was half a semester away from a doctorate in biostatistics and applied mathematics. He figured he was going to something really amazing for humanity some day. Hastily he moved to shuffle his things into messy piles so Gannicus could sit and eat his breakf-- er lunch without hovering over the sink. "Gans, please.... " he started, taking note of the plastic wrap the other had lined his bowl with. Ugh. "Please, do the dishes today. The kitchen is starting to smell like your room..."

Pietros had gone with the others to greet the returning gladiators that had sacrificed so much for their freedom. Every now and then he would trace the thick, ropey "B" that branded him to Batiatus, only now it caused a grin for he knew he was no longer bound to that house, that ludus, that dirty place of torture. When the news of Barca's abandonment had reached him it was like his very soul had been sucked from his body. He'd become a lifeless husk of the boy he once was, unable to picture any happiness without his heart. Not even the constant harassment and torment Gnaus dished out could force Pietros to feel much of anything. Yes, he still cried when it hurt and the resentment never really went away but even Spartacus and Oneomaus noted the difference in once joyful soul. Nothing changed even as Spartacus tossed Gnaus from the cliff. It only meant one form of misery was to be replaced with another. Even so, he jumped on the opportunity to flee with the others to the Temple of Jupiter, hoping to leave that life behind, try to start again. It was more difficult then he imagined. Without the constant worry of assault there was more time to pine over why Barca left him behind. He came up with all kinds of scenarios that could explain it and leave Barca a still shining spot in his eyes, but the longer it went on the less these thoughts helped. So, here he was, safe for the time being watching his fellow slaves reunite with their loved ones while he could only look on. Time stopped when he heard his name and it was as if someone pushed all the others aside until there was only he and the owner of that voice. Pietros blinked instant tears, his whole body trembled and threatened to give way. Fuck the gods if this was some kind of cruel prank. He took a hesitant step then stopped, knowing he couldn't handle the disappointment and loss a second time, it would kill him. His fists clenched tightly, his nails digging into his own palms. He breathed deeply when the pain that stabbed at him told him he couldn't be dreaming. "Barca....?"

Kind words. Now that was the real rarity. They swelled his heart and colored his cheeks yet Pietros kept his head bent and his gaze down, a small seed of fear that Barca would notice and mistake his appreciation for invitation. Barca was indeed a marvel to look upon but for all Pietros knew, he was just like the others and was only looking for advantage. Although he was fit, Pietros was still slim and petite enough to be harassed as a woman might and he was far too meek to fight back once provoked. So, it would seem fairly obvious that he'd want to keep as much distance as he could between himself and the other men. Still, his ears flamed red, dwelling on Barca's words while tending to his wound which wasn't quite as bad as it seemed once the blood was cleaned up. No stitching would be needed, but a good tight wrap and a couple days rest seemed likely.
In the end, Pietros decided it was best to remain silent and give a nod in gratitude before preparing long bandages and rising to his feet. He bent over Barca in such a way that as he worked, his breath caressed the skin of the older man's back. "It is not too tight?" He finally spoke as he tugged on the bandages. Too tight would make it hard for Barca to breathe but too loose would accomplish nothing.

Pietros flopped back into the fluffy comforter of the bed, Barca covering him like a blanket. His hands worked their way around to the back of Barca's neck, pulling him closer, pulling their mouths together as if Pietros' needed the breath in Barca's lungs in order to survive. The boy smiled and laughed, simply beside himself with anticipation as the hitman worked his jeans and helped shed them from his body. "Oh god..." He rasped breathlessly. Seeing Barca in such a state of undone passion nearly left Pietros undone as well. He arched his back and hips, pushing himself into Barca's hands with reckless abandon, his head craning back to give the man better access to the skin of his neck.
Was this really happening? For weeks they had to hide their emotions and desires for each other, always on alert that someone would find out, but now there were to be no interruptions; no inhibitions. Pietros felt like his skin was on fire, prickly and hot but without pain; Barca's hands and mouth the only salve capable of soothing. Pietros sent his fingers combing through Barca's hair, issuing a gentle tug when Barca's hands brushed his erection, setting it free from the confinement of his underwear. He took a deep breath through his teeth and laughed again. If this was real, this was the most amazing thing to ever happen to him. If it wasn't... well it was still a damn fine dream.
Once Barca's hands were free from their task, Pietros set to work removing the much too cumbersome shirt from his lover's torso. He pulled the material up and over Barca's head but left it encircling his neck, and once Barca's face was obscured with fabric, Pietros set his lips upon bare chest now exposed to him. Fuck, he wanted to take the time and explore everything. He also wanted to see stars immediately. His whole body squirmed in delight, unable to make up his mind. "My god, I need you too..."

The corners of his lips quirked but he nodded his understanding. Of course Gannicus would have better things to do than to train a slave boy in the art of the sword. Better things such as drinking himself to stupor? A good many of the rumors and stories he'd heard of the great God of the arena would confirm that it was no water that resided in his cup. That little detail had not escaped the boy's dark eyes and although he wouldn't say as much, there was a small seed of resentment that bloomed with Gannicus' refusal. Perhaps the man was too drunk already to properly stand much less teach.
At that, Pietros chided himself. He shouldn't be having these types of thoughts or assumptions. He was more frustrated with himself than anything else anyway. Shuffling his feet against the dirt he called back, "How would you have me hold sword?"

The professional façade the young boss and his personal bodyguard were forced to adhere to was getting harder and harder to hold the further down the hallway they walked towards their suite. Barca had outdone himself this time and it almost made him laugh out loud to think that not more than a month ago the thought of spending any time at all with the older man was in an of itself torture. At that time, as far as Pietros was concerned, Barca had more than earned the nickname of Beast and thus he had wanted nothing to do with him; a cold blooded killer that never questioned orders. But, as fate would have it, spending time with Barca had also meant getting to know the man deeper than his outside appearance. Pietros would have never guessed there were any layers under that scowl but he was definitely proved wrong. So now, here he was, pretending with all his being to be casual, cool and calm when Barca was promising all the time alone together he possibly could. Gooseflesh prickled his dark skin with anticipation.
The boy rolled his eyes and shook his head when the hitman cleared the room before letting him enter. An action that once was disturbing, now endearing. "Bar--" He called out abruptly when Barca quite literally swept him off his feet and carried him as if a rescued princess to the bed. Pietros's face lit up in laughter in response to Barca's question. "Actually, I quite like what's in the room more...." Sitting side saddle definitely wasn't sufficient, so Pietros took it upon himself to wiggle around until he straddled Barca's lap between his thighs. This way he was taller and was able to slightly tilt his man's head back to place a chaste kiss upon his brow. Perhaps another to the tip of his nose. And another to his jawline.
In an instant Pietros went from turned on to desperate. His hips swayed, grinding himself against the other as his hands greedily slipped up under Barca's shirt, fingertips tracing over the hills and valleys caused by taut muscle. Barca's skin was full of rough scars -- all proof of his loyalty to the family. Pietros no longer thought of Barca as a mindless zombie doing his father's bidding but rather a fierce protector devoted to his house. In the same instant, Pietros bent his neck and hungrily set upon Barca's mouth, licking the corners and nipping at his lips. "Barca..." He whispered, "I can't wait any longer..."

Name: Pietros Guest type: 1st class A short summary of who they are in the modern world: Pietros is the sole heir of a mafia syndicate, of which he has no interest in taking over. Too gentle for the world of murder and crime, he is at first disgusted by Barca's presence, but upon spending time with him learns of a softer side and despite his best efforts, he falls in love. Barca surprised him with the idea of a cruise, far from prying eyes so that they could spend time together outside of a professional relationship.
Plot worked out with Barca

Cyrus Romano was an intimidating figure of physical prowess and influence. His stoic face and calm confidence commanded authority, begging no one to question his words. The man was unapproachable to most, save for his only son who saw no issues in voicing his own thoughts. By all rights, Pietros was a mutt, an illegitimate child that often received quiet scorn even among his father's own men. But the feeling was often mutual. Pietros had no interest in continuing his father's legacy despite the continual training to do so. Cyrus had spoken to him earlier that day informing him of his intentions, "Alec will take care of everything, but you will be acting as head. All decisions must flow through you and I will have Barca at your side."
Pietros scoffed, "Barca? The beast?"
"It is for your safety and my peace of mind," Cyrus retorted.
"His presence deprives me of both!" And that had been the end of the conversation as Pietros had turned on a heel and returned to his room with a brisk stride. He shook his head full of springy curls and inwardly cursed. Perhaps if his father could have found a less lucrative business the need for safety and peace of mind would cease to exist. He sat down at his desk and rested his forehead in the cradle of his arms and there he must have fallen asleep because the suddenness of the famed beast across the threshold of his room was ridiculous.
Pietros rubbed at his dark eyes and sat back in his chair, swiveling around to face his father's man. "No shit?" he frowned. This was going to be a long six weeks.

Pietros grinned happily when he finally found Barca out in the sun honing his skills and testing those of the recently initiated slaves. His feet shuffled across the dirt in hopes for a warm embrace but instead he faltered when Barca suggested that he himself take up arms. Was Barca teasing him? He couldn't be serious, could he? The look on the boy's face must have echoed his inner turmoil when his smile whisked itself away only to be replaced by a look of utter confusion. "You would have me train? Have you lost mind?" He said incredulously, almost laughing at the suggestion.
He found himself almost itching to inspect Barca to see if he'd taken too many blows to the head.

Pietros heard the commotion before he saw it and as much as it pained him, he retreated instead of going with the others to meet the gladiators upon their return. Every time Barca left for the games it became more and more clear that Pietros would not survive in the ludus without him. The hungry looks and the loose hands were too strong and without Barca there to keep him afloat, he would surely drown. Even now, Gnaeus had dared lay his hands upon him knowing full well that Barca would return, should Barca cease to return there would be nothing left for Pietros except death. And at the same time, Pietros didn't want to be precious jewel that needed to be protected. He wanted to stand equal with Barca and the other slaves, in solidarity. But the Romans had found a way to drive a wedge between that as well.
His back straightened when he heard Barca enter, and he heaved a great sigh as Barca spoke. He wanted so much to be there at the gate. He wanted a joyous and pleasurable reunion with Barca. Yet he kept his face towards the wall. "Apologies. Medicus has kept me busy." Which wasn't the truth but also wasn't exactly a lie. He had required stitching along the right cheekbone where Gnaeus sought to bloody with his fist. "Should I fetch you water?"

What might Barca look like in a suit, you ask? A little Photoshop magic tells me that he's pretty handsome! <3
