Feel at home? Joseph looked at Shini like he was insane. It was as though the man wanted him to move in or something…and that wasn’t something Joseph really liked to think about. Ignoring whatever he was saying, the young man looked around while walking, still eating a little bit of his food and drinking every once in a while.
When they got to the bathroom, Joseph stopped eating and looked at Shini, taken aback when he winked and spoke of his room. “You aren’t going to try to fuck me are you? You look like you are…” Taking a moment, he walked into the bathroom but didn’t move. “Can I piss in private? Please?” he wondered. He still had that ‘bad’ attitude, although that was typical of him. Until he opened up to Shini, he’d act like that a little more.
