Fics like "Checking in?"

It started with Yoshiki booking to stay at a seemlessly normal, cheap five-star hotel due to being called out of state to fly internationally last minute for a work meeting. Now, there are no real exit, no windows, and no real world he can go back to. Yoshiki is trapped inside a breathtakingly massive, vintage luxury hotel that stretches out forever, but he isn't alone in the labyrinth. Walking the halls alongside him is "Hikaru," dressed as the hotel's sweet, overprotective manager who offers endless comfort, snacks, and reassurance. But Yoshiki is hit with the absolute, freezing horror that Hikaru isn't a fellow prisoner—he is the master of this beautiful, gilded birdcage, but he doesn't have they key to unlock that same gilded birdcage. He is a lonely, immortal force of nature, completely oblivious to the fact that his confinement is the very thing that breaks his guests' minds. And as the suffocating weight of eternity sets in, Yoshiki realizes his own empathy might be the very thing that domesticates himself to the will of Hikaru, and it scares him—scares him that he might actually be starting to like Hikaru's presence.
