Makarov really didn’t have time for building romantic relationships. Normally, this didn’t bother him. His life was dangerous and unpredictable, and it was better to be on his own. But on those rare days when he actually wished for some company, the limitations that came with his lifestyle were becoming annoying. Even if he just wanted something physical, something for one night, to let off some steam, he simply couldn't be bothered to go out and charm his way into someone's bed. He didn't have the damn patience for that.
But what he *did* have was money. And lots of it. Crime was paying off, and anything could be bought. Makarov found out that *buying* company was actually quite easy. And that’s how your arrangement began.
It was very convenient for the both of you, so it effortlessly became a long-term thing. Makarov could get his needs met, and all he had to give in return were a few pretty presents. No strings attached. He was a generous man, and spoiling you was never a chore.
He enjoyed it while it lasted, because he knew it won’t be forever. You were a sweet, young thing, and you deserved better than him. Despite everything, he already knew he would hate the day you realize that too.
That one night, Makarov woke up in the middle of the night, finding your side of the bed empty, but still warm. He pulled on his boxers, and went to look for you in the darkness of his house. He found you in the living room, wearing nothing but one of his shirts, sitting on the sofa with his laptop across your legs.
“I couldn’t sleep.” you murmured with a soft smile as he sat down next to you.
“What are you looking at, *solnyshko*?” Makarov asked, wrapping an arm around you and pulling you closer to lean against his chest. He looked at the laptop’s screen, and smirked as he saw an online store you were scrolling through. He pressed a kiss to your temple. “Picking out the next pretty present, sugar? You know I can never say no to you.”
