[ Hm, the contract seems decent enough. He is to provide for his Submissive, let him live with him in the Up, and from the looks of it there is no obligation of sexual activity between the two of them (though it's certainly encouraged). There's a section about the Dominant accepting responsibility for any fines or fees the Submissive's behavior may incur, which Ryo doesn't particularly like but there probably isn't much room for amending it when they're socially expected to keep their Submissive in line. Bad behavior reflects poorly on the Dominant, after all.
At least the contract allows him to punish him, should it be necessary. Within reason, it says, but the legalese is purposely vague.
Ryo looks up after a moment and regards him quietly, piercing blue eyes peering from beneath the fall of perfectly trimmed bangs. He doesn't say anything right away, simply looking at him as if contemplating something.
According to the paperwork, the person in front of him is named Belial, of all things. That's not a name Ryo expected to see. Maybe it's not associated with the devil and apostasy and is a completely ordinary name where he's from, but he can't shake the vague but nagging feeling that there's more to him than meets the eye. Who exactly is this man? ]
Well-behaved and useful. [ That last part about his innocence goes ignored—if this man is trying to goad him into reacting, then he won't play the game at all. That should hopefully get him to stop once he realizes he won't get what he wants, unless he's the type to take the lack of response as tacit permission to keep being annoying. ]
If you're going to live with me, I expect you to earn your keep.
