Aeri sat down in front of her laptop, staring at the OnlyFans login page, debating whether to make the account and mourn her somewhat pristine search history.
It’s either this or Pornhub, she thought. And OF seems like the tamer and lesser evil between the two.
“Fuck it," she muttered, clicking on 'sign in with X'. Her account was created in seconds.
She typed "HideandTease" into the search bar. The site pulled up his page — a collection of photos and videos waiting to be explored.
The page loaded too slowly, each thumbnail appearing one by one, blurry placeholders sharpening into focus. Aeri held her breath without realising it.
The first few photos were tame, even professional and artistic. They captured shadows and angles, bare shoulders, and the curve of a back. She couldn't tell who it was yet—just a man, just a body.
Okay… I can work with this.
She scrolled.
The next image revealed more — abs, toned and tan, muscles she recognised from somewhere but couldn't quite place. Her finger hovered over the trackpad.
Wait a minute.
Her eyes narrowed as she scrolled again.
A profile shot. A strong jawline. A light goatee. Softly defined, slightly parted lips with a full, heavy lower edge.
Her heart started to pound.
Another click captured a man lying on his stomach, his bare back exposed and head turned slightly toward the camera. His shaved head and defined shoulders exuded a sense of confidence, as if he owned the space around him.
Her hand trembled against her mouse as she scrolled to the next image.
A full photo. Face forward. Dark, expressive eyes. A smirk that had haunted her since the elevator.
Hide.
Her fucking neighbour from across her balcony, the one who had joked about her walking around naked, the guy she’d seen screwing a woman against a glass door, was staring back at her from an OnlyFans page.
Aeri forgot how to breathe.
She scrolled through his entire profile, watching him posing in various states of undress, each showcasing his toned body and magnetic and seductive charisma. Hell, she even found a couple of pictures of him completely nude, but only showing his ass (thank God).
Suddenly, it all made sense. The box of camera equipment he carried the day he first moved. His vague answer when she asked if he was a photographer or a content creator.
No wonder why each image on his page looked carefully crafted to exude a sense of raw sensuality while still maintaining a veil of mystery. It was almost impressive.
Then she found a video about 17 minutes long, give or take. She clicked on it.
The video started with Hide making out with a woman against the door, and Aeri instantly recognised her. It was the same woman he was with the other night, the one she had seen from her balcony. Watching them together made her heart race, bringing back that awkward encounter she couldn't shake off.
But along with that feeling as she continued watching them, another feeling bubbled to the surface. Something darker, something more primal. As she watched the video play, a wave of jealousy and attraction surged through her, their intimate connection sending a thrill of desire through her body.
Suddenly, a notification popped up.
Hide was live and broadcasting right now.
Aeri’s heart skipped a beat, realising an opportunity had just landed in her lap.
A part of her was hesitant to go ahead and join his live. He was her neighbour, for God’s sake. And she had just found out he was an OF creator.
But on the other hand, she would be lying if she said she wasn’t at least a little curious.
“Fuck it,” she muttered, clicking on the link to join the live broadcast and was instantly taken into his virtual space.
The screen filled with a live video feed, showing Hide sitting in what appeared to be his bedroom, lying on his bed shirtless, looking directly into the camera.
"Hey there, welcome to the show," his velvety voice filled the silence of her room, his eyes seeming to look right at her. He still wore his signature cheeky smile on his face.
"So, who's watching me tonight?" he asked, placing his arm behind his head. "Come on, don't be shy. Say hi."
Aeri was hesitant at first but decided to take a leap of faith and sent a message in the live.
Hi.
Hide's attention seemed to be drawn to the screen. His eyes flicked downwards, skimming over the names of the viewers. When he saw her, his smile morphed into a smirk. “aerichandesu, you’re new here?”
Yeah haha😅
He chuckled at her response, his smirk widening.
"Ah, a newbie, huh? Well, welcome to my world," he purred, leaning a bit closer to the camera. "Like what you see so far?"
Aeri snorted.
I've seen better
His eyebrows raised, feigning offence at her dismissive comment.
"You've seen better, huh?" he echoed, his tone dripping with mock hurt. "Not sure if I should be hurt or intrigued. Tell me, darling, who do you consider 'better' than me?"
I dunno. Kenta Yamazaki
His smirk grew slightly, clearly amused.
"Kenta Yamazaki, eh?" he mused, running a hand through his hair once more. "Interesting pick. He's good, I'll give you that. But I can do things he could only dream of."
Like what?
His eyes held hers through the screen, a mixture of challenge and promise in them.
"You'll have to stick around and find out," he teased, a hint of a smirk playing on his lips. "But let's just say I have a few tricks up my sleeve that would make even Yamazaki envious."
He rolled to his side, his eyes still trained on the camera. His expression was casual, but there was a hint of frustration in his voice.
"Yeah, it's a bit of a bummer that not many people are tuning in tonight," he said, sounding a little let down. "Guess it's kinda expected since I'm just a small account."
How come?
He shrugged slightly, a small smile playing on his lips.
"I'm just starting out, sweetheart," he explained. "Still carving my niche on this platform. It takes time to build up a solid following, but I'm getting there."
Aeri hummed thoughtfully.
I see…
He leaned in closer to the camera, his eyes locking onto hers again.
"But don't worry," he assured, his voice dropping an octave lower. "I'm not in it for the numbers. I'm more interested in the... quality. Quality viewers like yourself."
Aeri cackled.
I just got here. What are you talking about 😭
He chuckled at her reply, clearly enjoying their playful banter.
"Fair enough," he admitted. "But my point still stands. I'd rather have fewer viewers like you, than a thousand who are just here passing time."
"But I'm curious," he continued, his tone taking on a more inquisitive edge. "What made you decide to join my little show tonight? Just bored and clicked on the link, or were you... intrigued?"
My friend recommended you
His smirk widened at her revelation.
"Ah, so a friend recommended me, huh?" he mused, a hint of satisfaction in his voice. "I guess I'll have to thank your friend then. They've got good taste."
🙄 don’t get cocky
He chuckled again, clearly amused by her reaction.
"Cocky? Nah. I’m just confident," he corrected, his smirk never wavering. "I know I have a lot to offer. And if being confident annoys you, darling, then I'm doing something right."
Well then. Show me how good you are
A hint of challenge lit up in his eyes as he heard her demand, a slow smile spreading across his face.
"Oh? You want me to show you just how good I am?" he teased, his voice dripping with seductive promise. "Are you sure you can handle it, doll?"
I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't
He chuckled, the sound rich and resonant, filling the room with warmth.
“You've got some bite. I’ll give you that," he observed, clearly enjoying Aeri’s assertiveness. Alright, sweetheart, challenge accepted. I'll show you just how good I can be."
“But just remember, you asked for this," he added, the warning clear in his tone. "You asked me to show you how good I am. And once I start, I won't stop until your mind is completely blown. Ready?"
Ready
His smile turned devilish, his eyes filled with a heat that set her pulse racing. Then suddenly, the live ended.
“The hell?” Aeri muttered, furrowing her eyebrows.
She stared at the screen for a full ten seconds, waiting for the feed to come back. Nothing. Just the static profile image of Hide's page.
Did he end it on purpose? Oh God, does he know?!
Before she could talk herself out of it, a new notification popped up.
HideandTease is inviting you to a private video call.
Aeri's heart stopped.
Private? As in... one on one?
Her finger hovered over the mouse. Every logical part of her brain was screaming at her not to. That it was a bad idea. This was her neighbour. The man she'd watched from her balcony. The soon-to-be subject of her article — if she was brave enough to admit that to herself.
But her hand moved anyway.
She clicked accept.
The screen flickered, and then Hide's face appeared again — closer this time, more intimate.
No chat box.
No viewer count.
Just him, lying on his bed, shirtless, looking directly into the camera like he could see right through her.
"There you are," he said softly, his voice smoother than before. More personal. "Didn't want to leave you hanging, sweetheart."
Aeri opened her mouth to respond, then realised — her camera was off. She'd never turned it on. He couldn't see her.
Oh, thank God, she let out a quiet breath of relief.
"Hey…" she said, her voice coming out smaller than she intended.
Hide's eyebrows lifted slightly. "Oh, you have a voice." A smile tugged at his lips. "Pretty one, too."
She felt her face heat up. "My camera's not working," she lied.
"Mm." His expression was unreadable. "That's convenient."
"I swear it's not—"
"Relax." He chuckled, cutting her off gently. "I believe you. Mostly." He tilted his head, studying the dark rectangle where her video should have been. "You can see me, but I can't see you. Kinda unfair to be honest."
"I'm not really feeling... camera-ready," Aeri said, which wasn't totally a lie. Her cheeks were red, her hair was all over the place, and she was rocking an oversized t-shirt with a stain on the sleeve. "Let’s just say I’m not exactly looking my best right now."
Hide laughed — a real laugh, warm and unguarded. "Alright, alright. I get it. Tell you what..."
His camera went dark.
Now both of their screens were black—just two rectangles of nothing, connected only by audio and whatever tension was brewing between them.
"There," he said, his voice closer now, almost intimate. "Now we're even. Just two voices in the dark."
Aeri swallowed hard. "That's... surprisingly considerate of you. Sweet even."
"I have my moments." She could hear the smirk in his voice. A beat of silence passed, then: "So. You wanted me to prove myself, didn't you?"
Her breath caught. "I—"
"You asked me to show you how good I am." His voice dropped lower, slower, each word deliberate. "And then my live ended. That wasn't very fair to you, was it?"
Aeri bit her lip. "No," she managed.
"No. It wasn't." A pause. The sound of him shifting, settling into something more comfortable. "So I'm going to make it up to you. Right now. Just you and me."
Her heart was pounding so loud. And she was pretty sure he could hear it through the microphone.
"What do you mean?" she asked, though she already knew.
"I mean," he said, his voice dropping to a whisper, "I'm going to show you exactly what I can do. And you're going to follow along. Sound fair?"
Aeri should have said no. Should have ended the call, closed her laptop, and gone to bed. Pretended that this live, this conversation, never happened.
But she didn't.
"...Fair," she whispered.
"Good," he murmured, his voice dropping to a seductive whisper. “You may need to put in your earphones unless you’re fine with your neighbours hearing whatever sound leaves that pretty mouth of yours during our session.
She scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Fuck off.”
He chuckled as she grabbed her earpods and plugged them into her ears.
“You ready?”
She let out a breath. “Yeah. I’m ready.”
"Close your eyes."
