Arlert heaved a sigh as he closed the door. The new face rose to his feet as he looked at him, the blonde lad rolled his eyes and sauntered to the bathroom later when he picked up a random turtleneck and pyjama pants on the armoire, not to imitate the black-haired guy who would seem to sleep with the clothes he wore after cleaning round. Ryuu stood firmly in the same position as his muddled eyes followed the blonde as he ignored him till he got on his bed.

“I wanna go home,” he uttered softly from the back of someone who lived in the place willingly. Silence moved past the time, and his patience snapped as he yelled the same words. Being watchful, Arlert immediately pulled away the blanket and raised his body to face the newbie.

“If you don’t wanna double your punishment, stop saying that word! I swear I won’t remind you again if I heard you mentioned it,” firmly said by the boy who stayed in the Hub ahead of him. Restless, he faintl

  • The Servers   Prologue

    His old man walks gracefully albeit his age of late 50's. His hands on his back with a slightly slanted spine, his sight is clear as his Father walks ahead the subway station. "Do you find it amusing?" He looks at his old man, who asked a weird question. A low and calm voice that goes along with the cold wind blowing underneath their thick clothes.Ryuu, the mind of a 17 year old boy cannot comprehend what his Father really meant about what he asked. He only feels his cold hands wearing woolen gloves in his pocket, the cool wind makes his body tremble underneath his thick jacket and sweatpants. "It is." The boy's pitch black eyes are glued to the floor, and all he wants to do at the moment is to go home to shake off what winter can do in the city of Tokyo. It is not the same temperature as his in the mountainside of Wakayama, where his parents and he lives. For him, he is not used to this much coldness.Ryuu looks at his

    "What's your name?" The young deep black eyes looked at the man in his late twenties. He looked like those typical salarymen you can see around, the only indication that he was somewhat recognized by society was the golden pocket watch that was hanging over his leather vest.Ryuu's eyes slanted as he tried to put the man's huge hood in his tired small mouth. The pretty boy flushed a tinge of pink on his cheek as his breathing became unsteady from not getting enough air. He did not want to smell the man's filthy d*ck and the struggles added from avoiding the pubic hair of the man.His heartbeat was irregular, nervous and uncertain. His brave demeanor and ability to tolerate what was in front of him, did not stop him from doing his job or he would not get a client today. If that happened, worst comes to worst, he would be forced to accept clients two at a time or even more. That would be his greatest nightmare he wanted to avoid.He only needed to gi

    This was a revolt. A revolt to address every concern and stories behind each server of the Service Hub. A revolution that will shake the world of the red light district in the heart of Tokyo. "He sucks," Arlert, the blonde boy, insulted the client of Ryuu today. The 18 year old lad had done his service for the day an hour earlier than Ryuu who was a rookie in the place.Arlert, not his real name and it was given to him by one of 'The Watchers' who adopted him when he was 8 years old. In the past, he was fragile and malnourished. Particularly, he belonged to one of the hapless children living in the street of the City. Ryuu, on the other hand, did not know about it entirely. The mysterious blonde boy only told him he started working in the red light district about a year when Ryuu came a month ago. Good thing, Arlert told him that he was living in the street and he had no family before he came to the Hub, although Ryuu did not buy it.With his remar

    It was 6:17 in the evening, almost time for supper. Ryuu focused his attention on the vintage pendulum clock hanging on the wall above the door. He closed his eyes and composed his breathing till he could hear the ticking sound of its arm swinging. Gradually, he began to calm down and relaxed his trembling nerves, and by a quick few seconds he opened his sharp eyes ready to face what the Hub would serve him, outside the small four corners of the walls where he could take a few naps of rest. His only moment to repose these past three days. His lack of ability to fall asleep shortly only by staring at the wooden wall in their house, was no effect in his new room.Three days of sleepless nights that put him to edge, and his astute mind would badly affect his surroundings. He was not happy with everything. He never did. If his roommate could sleep like a log in their state, what method was he using?Ryuu shook off the thought of adding a garbage topic thereupon transpired

    Ryuu casually turned to the right. Aika was in her mode of checking the tall indoor plants if they had already been watered. Each corner of the cased opening has two sets of Ficus plants, Polyscias and Birds of Paradise. She might be a Lady, still she had other duties to deal with. "Where is Arlert, Aika-san?" Ryuu asked. Aika glanced at him a second and looked at the way, "He's still with a client." A short giggle altered the rookie's gaze at the two young boys passing by him. He looked down as his eyes met one of them. Their short blabbering diminished as they went upstairs. The two boys, a black-haired one which was cut on a bob and the other one was of Caesar's. Their clothes were already casual, an indication of their duty for today had finished. The walls were flat and non-load bearing. The corridor they had to pass had no windows, only canvas paintings of human; ballet dance ballerinas, an indistinct face of a boy, petite hand, and a stick figure-l

    Heart was racing as the young boy entered the room, the same interior style from the VIP rooms he had visited. Although, this room was identical to an office with a wooden desk and chair in the center. The utmost thing that caught his attention was the metallic cat facing him, balancing a red paperweight sphere with bubbles inside it. It was placed on the table, beside a Newton's Cradle. A device of five metallic spheres hanging on a straight thin thread which is attached to a base. The silver balls clacked; where the first strike, the last sphere would go upward while the middle spheres were being suppressed as they collided to the first and the last. The same movement happened constantly."Take this," the man ordered. His eyes were not looking at the young boy; ignoring his presence. Ryuu did not care less about the man's perception of him. His eyes were locked on the pamphlet that was on the table. The cover was only white in color and 'Exclusive Use Only' was

    A mini vintage calendar hung on the wall above the bedside table. It was the fifth day of the second month. Ryuu was ready to face his job today. The everyday service starts depending on the client's set schedule. His slender wrist curled a little as he picked up his long necktie on his bed, and he quickly tied it around the collar of his dress shirt. The clock on the wall was ticking, but the blonde boy was still sound asleep on his bed with a pillow wrapped around by his limbs. Ryuu put in a gentle smile. He did not have any reasons to wake up the blonde boy besides he was thankful for him. A good sleep brought him in a good mood and his bright mind was now functioning well. As he turned around to get his pants, he noticed the leaflet on the top of his bed. He slowly picked it up and opened the first page. A knock on the door turned his head around to gaze at it, a second of heartbeat was paused. "Ryuu? It's time for your service today." 2VIP1D

    ‘For five days, and they don’t tell me what those jobs I need to do are. Will they allow me to leave after I finish them?’ pondered Ryuu as he was ordered to clean a room three doors next to the one where he slept last night. The lady was out of sight, still she stressed her keep watch on him.Concurrently, he ended up cleaning the dining hall in the afternoon as though not impeccable, a good moment to idle his thoughts and flashes of anxiety withdrawing inside of him like how the passes of time in the silence of the evening made him groan and wince to make it stop. Although the room seemed like it had not been used. The smell of the room was odorless same as the bed, yet he was instructed by the woman to change the bed sheets besides dusting off the surface of any furniture later the floor. A vintage armoire with bed covers and pillowcases neatly folded, lower drawers for dry towels to use on body and face, and small knitted rags organized ver

    "Let's go to the room now," The brunette woman ordered, and walked first however the hands of the young man raised his fist to push away the two men. His strength failed him that the two guardsmen grabbed both his arms, and two feet of Ryuu squeaked on the floor as he forced himself not to be dragged by them from the door."Get off me! I wanna leave! I wanna see my Father!" Arlert stepped forward not to be on his new roommate's side but a way of him to calm down and solely follow. However, a cinnamon-like colour of hand held his wrist lightly from behind. He saw a long-time friend, a server like him and adopted where his amber eyes gazed down; an inclination of the past he had been through at once.Ryuu gave up struggling from the needles picked in his stomach as he had not eaten anything yet. With teeth being clenched and confounded, he walked with his own two feet hardly moving forward to follow the woman in front of him. Breathing unstable yet he managed to keep his

    Stomach grumbled. Ryuu wrapped his arms around his knees on the bed more. The room was ordinary like from the movies he had seen in a dormitory setting. Although these kinds of buildings, he had not seen anything similar from his residency. A bathroom next to the armoire was fine for two people. Hours moved past the last time he checked the wall clock and the affirmation of the blonde lad about coming back whispered in his mind ceaselessly.“Hello?”Ryuu startled and the clear voice of a man from outside faded away. A faint sigh came out from him and his chin rested on his arms again.Aika opened the door. Ryuu was not aware who she was, and the woman was not entering the room. The lad slowly got off from the bed and stood near her. "You, change your clothes. We'll go out.""Outside?" He walked closer, presuming the woman was of help to her. The brunette woman scowled at him and went to the armoire, choosing clothes hanging inside."Don

    'I will be home soon. The South armies were currently on standby. Let's meet.'The familiar cursive of a man's penmanship permeated a mossy scent. Arlert closed the letter as the door creaked and a Lady glanced at him, his dull sapphire blue eyes looking at the unconscious boy carried by a guardsman. Floor thudded as the stone-faced man entered the room and put down the boy on the next bed."He will be your new roommate, Arlert. Class A," the brunette Lady stated, and they shut the door closed, leaving the room in silence. Arlert rose up from the chair and scanned the new face. Shades of red in the corner of his swollen eyes, and lips formed a blood clot in the underside. Droplets of water dropped on the pillow from the lad's fringes. Arlert sighed faintly and put a blanket on him. Minutes of contemplating the boy as a Japanese, drooping shoulders showed his sorrow from the fact that the recent departure of his former roommate could not be processed in his

    Ryuu stayed still in bed the whole day. His mind already familiarized the visible layout of the clinic room where his vision could reach. The night came with Ryuu where he woke up suddenly from a loud thud outside the door. He became restless till his mind resisted him to fall asleep anymore. There was nothing to divert his attention other than the silence eating his peace of mind. A heavy sigh let out from him; pathetic of himself.Arlert came into the clinic room with a box of cupcakes and a lollipop in his mouth. Put the cupcakes on the lap of Ryuu in haste. Ryuu was confused and altered his attention on the sweets and to his roommate. The lollipop popped out as he took it out his mouth."I got this from the kitchen. Told them my roommate has been my patient for a while and he craves for some sweets.""No. I don't even like sweets," Ryuu exclaimed, unminding all of what the boy proudly said. Arlert pouted and glared at the young lad. H

    "Huh?! Should I inform you if I will stay here with Ryuu?" Arlert retaliated. Head held high while he faced the red-haired boy who was glaring at him all this time he strode his way in the room, and saw Arlert snoring on the other bed."Of course you have to. It's my fault he's injured right now so I have to take care of him myself," retorted Myriad. Myriad had to put up a fake admiration to his roommate since he was assigned to clean their room last night, and he rushed it to arrive before the curfew time then he was solely blocked by the guardsman from the main door. As per the man with a black suit stated a blonde boy was already inside, and the Doctor only allowed one Server to watch over Ryuu from time to time. Amanda, the name of the Doctor, covered a cotton on the skin of Ryuu where he took a blood sample.Arlert shrugged and sat down on the bed of the patient behind him. The two foreign boys glared at each other for a couple of seconds. "It's

    Sasha contacted the men through a black vertical rectangle device which she pulled out from the side of her pinafore apron's waistband. Ryuu's eyes narrowed as he stared at the source of communication. It was different from the mobile phone he saw from the girl he met at the subway station. The eerie gaze of the maidservant diverted the boy's attention to other Servers passing by at them.The men who were specifically called as 'Guardsmen' were the security, and the men which could be noticed easily as they wore a usual black suit and tie. Aside from keeping the Hub in safety from clients and outside harm, they also aid the Ladies to satiate their capabilities. Two of them appeared from upstairs, Japanese in their late twenties and whose height required to be 5'8 and above. Ryuu locked his eyes on the wooden floor. His memory remembered the same uniforms of those men who brought him to a dim room and although he detested them, his physique alone would never do good against th
