Chapter Text
Daddy Binks flattened his ears against his head which shone under the bright colourful lights of the club he stood in. His hand rested on his head as he took a sip of his martini. It had been a stressful day at his workplace, the strip club, with him being on shift from 8am-10pm with a few short breaks in between. Despite how demanding his job could be and how long the hours were, he quite enjoyed it. Swinging around on a pole all day 4 days a week was useful in ways, such as keeping him fit and strong. As he stood against a round table he took another sip of his drink, hoping it would help to ease some of the pain from his aching back. When suddenly he saw someone who would probably make his back even sorer.
Shrek sat in one of the booths at the club, drinking his heavy strength beer. He had just moved to the town and didn't know anyone. He had just divorced his wife, Fiona, and was still very upset. He was thankful to at least have a decent paying job. He took a swig of his drink and listened to the loud music playing above him. As he brought his head up from the table he noticed a man who looked to be in his mid twenties staring at him. He appeared to be blushing but it could've been the colourful lights above of him. The tall man sees him staring and winks at him. Shrek finds himself blushing at this quite attractive man. He holds his warm cheek. What was that? He wants to make his way over to him to try chat, but he’s scared. This man is so beautiful and tall and stunning and Shrek doesn’t know what he’d say. He sighs and looks back down at the table and takes a long sip of his drink.
Daddy Binks watched the handsome buff, strong looking man from where he stood. He felt a bulge form in his pants and quickly started to flex out his hands, attempting to make it go away. Just as he was about to take a sip of his martini, he felt his phone buzz in his pocket and when he takes it out he sighs and rolls his eyes. He takes the call and pushes past people to the outdoor patio.
“Hello? Binks? Binks are you there?!”
“Oh sorry just had to get to a quieter area of the club. There’s a lot of people.”
“Hmm. You better not be getting drunk tonight or spend your time fucking anyone, because Bill called in sick, said he had some ‘children to turn into corpses’, y’know Bill.”
“Sooo…umm what did you call me for.”
“Oh right, so since Bill called in sick, looks like you’re the only one available to take his shift, baby boy.”
“Don’t fucking call me that.”
“Sheesh, calm down you whiny bitch. It’s not like I want you to take his shift, Bill performs much better on the pole than you. You work best behind the scenes. Specifically in pleasing our customers privately. Now I suggest you get your ass back to your apartment and rest up, you had a long day today and you’ll have an even longer one tomorrow.”
Then he hung up.
“Ughhhh fucking asshole he is.” Daddy binks groaned as he shoved his phone into his back pocket and as he was about to start to walk somewhere to call an Uber, when he saw someone familiar. It was the gorgeous man he had been staring at in the club earlier. He knew his boss told him to not screw around with anyone that night but his temptations got the better of him and he walked over to where the man stood.
Shrek had watched disappointed as the man he had been admiring left and walked to the outside of the bar. After standing there he decided he would walk to the train station which would take him back to his new apartment. From a distance he can hear someone getting annoyed and he peers over and sees the man from inside the club who winked at him. Now shrek had never felt like this before, he had always identified as heterosexual but this gorgeous man made him feel things.
“Don’t fucking call me that.” Shrek hears the man say to whoever he’s on the phone with. He looks visibly pissed and frustrated. Shrek watches as he puts his phone away and starts to walk down the street. He sighs as he watches the mysterious man walk away. He notices him glance back and stop. He turns around and walks back into Shreks direction. He starts to panic as the gorgeous man from earlier walks back over to him. And soon they are standing right in front of each other.
Daddy Binks looks at the strong and masculine looking man as he stands in front of him.
“Hello there” he said to the man he had just approached.
“Oh um- hello” He responded looking nervous
“I saw you were looking at the pamphlet about train times and I wouldn't recommend catching it.”
“Oh um…why not?”
“It can be really unreliable especially at this time of night. Im Daddy Binks by the way”
“Im Shrek, thank you for letting me know, I’ll call an uber.”
“Oh would you want to carpool with me? I'm getting an uber and I can ask to drop you off on the way. It shouldn't take too long.”
“Really? Thank you!” He smiled. “Im new in town so I don't really know my way around”
“I can help show you around if you ever need help.” Daddy Binks winked. Shrek found himself blushing to that and he rapidly nodded.
The car drove up and they both got inside sitting next to each other in the backseat.
“Hey so where's your apartment at?” Daddy Binks turns and asks Shrek.
“Its just over on the south side of town, near the river.”
“I know where that is, one of my old friends used to live around there”
“Where abouts do you live?” Shrek asked the man.
“Oh, I live on the northside of the city.”
“Oh wow that's a nice area of town,”
“Eh, yeah I guess, ‘cept I live real close to my boss. Too close for my liking.” Daddy Binks sighs.
As he says that, the car pulls up outside of an apartment complex.
“This the place?” Binks asks shrek squinting. The building is quite basic and generic looking, with not much flare. The old fashioned windows line the complex on all sides, the hundreds and thousands of them all letting the light from within trickle out into the starry sky of the city.
“Yeah, this is it. Thanks for paying for dropping me off Mr Binks.” Shrek blushes before hopping out. The car slowly drifts off into the city and Daddy Binks waves and winks as Shrek watches the car drive away. Daddy Binks sighs as the gorgeous mystery man is left behind.
“Yep, I could’ve definitely tapped that.”
