Chapter Text
Life is sorrow for people who have no money, as for a person like him. Gilgamesh was his name, it was a big name for someone who was born and grew up in a red line district of a big city of the powerful country, Camelot.
He had no father, only a mother who raised him alone. She was a prostitute in the luxurious brothel as for that reason she could get money enough to take care of her child. Body and money, that was a fair trade.
Gilgamesh used to live safely and happy until he turned to fifteen. The bawd so-called Madame said that he already grew up enough then it was his turn to serve customers like others, there were plenty of men who have waited a long time to claim him. After he had listened, he just nodded, it was no surprise for him, there were several boys and girls who were sold before him. It was the destiny of children who lived in this dirty place.
Sex was service and your body was goods for sale.
Gilgamesh could simply agree with her orders, however, his mother couldn’t.
“No! I’m not going to let my son sells his body! He’s not a prostitute!” His mother Ninsun shouted but the employer just laid her eyes cynical. The bawd knew that this was actually the reaction of a mother, but it was not suitable for this kind of place. This was the market for the flesh, not a holy church.
“Ninsun, You are the most beautiful and always our top, but you’re quite old now. Answer me! what are you going to do after you retire! you still need money, and this is the reason why Gil has to pay for both of you!” She tried to suggest the truth, but Ninsun could not give up, she had lived painfully all of her life and she absolutely not let her child had the same destiny.
It was the fact that Gil was the most beautiful child in this town. He had ruby red eyes that very gorgeous and elegant. His hair was like glitter sand that easily sparked on anyone's eyes. His body was slender and perfect for touching. When he smiled, he was like both angle and evil at the same time, he was the plenary sculpture that everybody wanted to pay for.
Even though Ninsun tried to help her son but Gil already accepted his fate. For him, this was not the tragedy anymore, he had his belief and his pride that no one could understand. He must be the best of everything, he was clever than any child in this brothel and in this district. If he had been born in another world, he would become a king, the most powerful man in the country. As for that reason, when in this dimension, he had a destiny becoming a whore then he would be the best one.
No one had the rights to claim him without his consent. Surely, he did not sell his own pride so cheaply.
“Don’t worry Mom. It’s not your false or your responsibility for my life, it’s my choice and I believe in myself.” That night he told his mother and cuddled her tight with all his love. He didn’t want her to worry about him.
“No! You shouldn’t do that! You’re not the one who should stay here! It’s my false to bring you’re here! No if, if your father had not died!” If he had not died, Gilgamesh’s life would not have had this fate.
“You couldn’t change the past or the truth.” Gilgamesh said firmly, he didn’t care about his father anymore, a person who already died, could not help anyone.
His mother always said something like these, and she cried a lot several times. Maybe there was something terrible that had happened in the past, but Gilgamesh wasn’t interested in it. He just wanted to live in his own way and did something to change his future by his own hands.
Finally, when there was no way out, Ninsun had to accept the contact with Madam but she asked to postpone the time period. Gilgamesh surely had to become a prostitute but in the next two years when he turned to seventeen.
Two years later…
Time flies too fast, Gilgamesh turned to seventeen, and he was the most charming and beautiful young man in the country. His reputation spread from one district to another and from the civil to royal, from the market to the castle, everyone knew that he was the one who you had to claim for your pride and power.
However, Ninsun had no chance to see what would happen in the future. She accidentally died because of illness one year ago.
Without his mother, Gilgamesh had to enter in the dirty business alone, he knew he was priceless and the most expensive goods in this country, then he had the power of negotiation, he announced that he would choose his customer himself, not the bawd.
Firstly, he told Madame for announcing his first time for sale and he would have sex with a person who paid the best price, surely this was the auction and he knew his own value.
Gilgamesh knew that many people wanted his body and really craved to fill him, then he let all of them fought for their gluttonies. He would get lots of money for his first night and then he would have the power of bargaining.
“I should dance to present myself for all of them, when they saw my appearance, surely their sexually awoke and could not stop their beast instinct.”
“Then you can up your price, it seems you already plan everything without your heart.” Enkidu, his best friend asked him when they stayed together in the market. Gilgamesh always disguised as a normal young man. He surely a piece of jewelry who walked in the messy road.
Enkidu was the only child of a merchant and Gilgamesh’s only friend, they had promised to open a store together some days in the far future, however before that Gilgamesh had to become a freeman.
“I know you’re clever, but I think you abandoned your heart, it’s not easy to sleep with anyone who pays for you. You can speak easily but in fact, it’s not simply as you think.” Enkidu warned him.
“I have no choice! I don’t want to stay and live like a pitiful whore, I need money to free myself!” Gilgamesh said strongly, there were various prostitutes who fell in love with their customers, but finally, they had heartbroken and cried with sorrow until the last breath.
“You should not disdain your destiny, maybe you may meet someone and decide to marry that person. Life is an unexpectable dream, you don’t know the conclusion until the end.” Enkidu tried to soothe him. If he had enough money, he would surely help Gilgamesh.
“I have no interest in marriage with a man or woman who just tries to pay for my virginity. They are so greedy and ugly like animals! They pay then they get and then I will have more money! That’s all!”
“So heartless” Enkidu said with sympathy.
“I’m a prostitute, you could not wish for anything other than my service.” Gilgamesh confirmed his belief.
For him, his heart belonged to him, and he would give it for the one he respected.
