From the far end of the hall, he sees him. he walks towards his direction, taking a chance. "maybe he turns out okay", he thinks.
He looks straight through him. "that guy looks hot."
They stand beside each other, waiting for the other one to make the first move.
He moves his hand. skin-to-skin they touch. he looks. a quick furtive glance. his lips make a faint smile. he nods. his eyes tell him, "folow me."
It was over even before he can even ask his name.
He takes a cigarette. he smokes. "you wan one?"
They sit there in the half-light of the room, smoking their cigarettes. naked silence.
