Photogenic Beauty
~Vanitas~
Vanitas puffed out a sigh, his breath instantly fogging up before his eyes as he made his way through London's misty narrow urban streets. He had arrived in England a few hours earlier from America and wasn't at all impressed with the weather, but grew to like the atmosphere it gave the back alleys, giving it that certain mystery and shadyness he found intriguing. Vanitas himself was a mystery. He had grown from a wealthy background with highly respected parents, Vincent and Vanessa Valentine. Vanitas also had two siblings, his older sister Xion and his twin brother Sora. The indifferent raven spent a lot of time to himself and decided to take a job and luckily there was a huge paycheck waiting in Photography. A few years later at the age of 22 he found himself a world-renowned photographer and on a ridiculously high salary, making him a must have for the local media and most commonly the modelling industry.
He had been given another modelling assignment. His model was apparently a boy named Ventus. The raven had heard about the blond but had never met him, his looks had been described as angelic by his boss and she had told him how 'lucky' he was to see that beauty in the flesh to which Vanitas had just smirked.
'He's probably just been airbrushed that way, no model I have ever seen looks just as they do on the cover of 'Diverse' the raven looked down at the Novice introductory picture he had been given by his boss. The blond did look pretty good...He had delicately placed spikes that were ruffled slightly, reminding the raven of a new-born yellow duckling, his flawless pale skin seemed to illuminate and brighten the dark backdrop behind him, light pink lips were placed into a small upturned smile that had a little protruding lift behind it, telling Vanitas the blond was pouting slightly, jet black eyelashes framed the egg whites of his eyes and his small pupils sat nestled in the middle of the exotic blue pond that surrounded it, like a tiny island rooted out at sea, a white shirt hung loosely at the boys shoulders revealing his defined collar-bone and milky white skin. The picture cut off around his ribs as the shirt twirled loosely round keeping his chest shrouded from view. Alright the blond was beautiful, Vanitas couldn't deny that.
'Personality, hmm probably a little diva, you can't have someone with those looks and not have a bitchy attitude to fit in with it'
Vanitas arrived at the studio they were shooting at in time to be greeted by Axel, his old friend, who was waving a cigarette at him as the raven climbed the stone steps boldly grabbing the burning stick and placing it between his lips.
"How are you doing bud? Alright? I saw your shoot last week with that Kairi chick, nice work pal" Vanitas smirked at his red haired pal, he always was a suck up. He pretty much zoned out of the rest of the conversation nodding when it was required, until a certain blond was brought up.
"Van, honestly, you are a very lucky guy, I'd love to be in your shoes right now" Axel smiled cockily, tilting his head slightly and elbowing Vanitas in the arm. Van frowned at the action before raising an eyebrow at the topic brought up, "How so?"
Axel looked at him as if he had grown two heads, "Are you freakin' serious?" Van shrugged in response.
"That kid in there is a fucking angel, my god! And you get to see him strip off and tell him what position to get into a-"
"Whoa whoa whoa calm down, It's too early in the morning to be getting into all that, I've only just got here and I have a serious hangover, I think sex is the last thing on my mind "
Axel shrugged, "Well you know what they say, sex is the best cure for hangover"
Vanitas frowned rubbing the bridges of his nose, " Never heard that one before, who says it?"
"Me of course" Vanitas rolled his eyes, "Anyway I've got get this shoot over with, later Ax"
"Cya kid, have fun!" Axel waved giving him a quick wink and thrusting his hips in the air practically air humping, getting some looks from passers-by. Van just shook his head and stepped over the threshold, the elegantly designed doors shutting behind him automatically. The inside of the studio looked more like a 5 star hotel, slightly misleading considering what the outside looks like but hey, can't be helped. The hall was large and modernly designed, handfuls of people scattered here and there like sprinkle on top of a cupcake. Vanitas made his way to the reception area, nodding his head courteously to a few familiar faces along the way.
The quaint blond-haired girl on behind the desk avoided eye contact, having heard the rumours of this man and his way with women and directed him on where he needed to go. Vanitas had to climb a few spiral staircases but eventually made it to A4 room 24. He knocked gently, breathing in deeply, mentally preparing himself for a demanding model that would take forever to give the right pose and would flirt terribly throughout.
"C-come in" Van paused a little, not expecting to hear the soft soothing voice that serenaded his eardrums, even through the thick oak. The raven wasted no more time and pulled the handle and the door along with it. What met him on the other side took his breath away...
The young blond from the picture was sat at the end of a pure white bed which blended in with his pure loosely fitted white shirt, buttoned at the bottom concealing certain areas as it was the only article of clothing he was wearing. He was looking up at the raven with those enticing blue pools which could be seen behind long thick black lashes. Lips a pale coral colour and naturally plump were moving as the angel spoke but Vanitas couldn't hear a word lost in his own trance the youngster had created, his pale blond locks shifted slightly and a strand moved in front of his eyes which was quickly moved out-of-the-way by a small delicate hand. Vanitas was then suddenly snapped from his thorough examination as the blond carefully stood up from the bed, his shirt only just making it halfway down his thigh which almost took the raven into another trance completely if not for the blond speaking up.
"Um, are you Vanitas?" the blond looked to him as he spoke a shy smile present on his face. 'God he even sounds like a fucking angel'
"Y-yeah, that's me, Ventus right?" The blond nodded smiling a little in confirmation. "How old are you?" The blond seemed a little startled at the question. "Um, I'm 17, 18 soon."
"Geez" Vanitas couldn't help it the kid was too cute for his own good.
~Ventus~
He couldn't help but blush as the Raven continued to inspect him quite thoroughly, but he wouldn't say anything. Vanitas was after all the professional. The Raven was wearing black and white Unversed (converse) and black jeans with a red dress shirt smartly buttoned up. Ventus felt himself blush even harder as he saw the trace of muscles and knew he was physically fit compared to him who was skinny and more feminine.
"Right," Ventus jumped as he heard the Raven clap his hands together suddenly, "I think we'll start with you on the bed, alright?"
"Right" The blond nodded and padded over to the white bed crawling onto it carefully, holding down the edges of the loose shirt to hide himself.
"You got any demands before we start" The blond looked up to see the Raven setting up a camera on a tripod.
"Demands?" The blond looked up questioningly. "Yeah, well, more sort of...requirements, specifics, like what you are prepared to do and what you...-" the raven looked up into the blonds eyes when he paused, "- aren't ready to do, that sort of thing, how many shoots have you done kid."
"Um nothing like this, I've never really done a shoot, more sort of singular pictures." Ventus couldn't help being a little embarrassed, he was standing...well, sitting, in front of a professional and he was only a novice at this. Sure he had been offered plenty of opportunities for shoots but his agent had been firm that he would get a professional as the others seemed to be only interested in getting in his pants.
He heard Vanitas laugh slightly, "So I'm popping your cherry then eh?" Ventus' eyes widened at this and he blushed profusely, "I n-no, I well... yeah, I mean..."
The raven laughed loudly, "Don't worry kid, I'll take care of you."
Ventus knew he was mocking him but for some reason he actually felt himself relax at those words.
"So, anything you aren't willing to do for your first time then? Vanitas purred as he looked at Ventus expectantly, a sleek black camera in hand, as he trailed his hand on the almost identical one on the tripod.
Ventus looked down, "I don't want to be fully exposed" he stated firmly, making Vanitas raise a dark brow "I don't want anything..." he struggled to find the words.
"Slutty?" Vanitas finished for him, Ventus pulled on the bottom of the shirt and nodded his head carefully. Vanitas nodded in return, "I can work with that." He smirked a little as the blond looked up at Vanitas, awaiting orders. "Okay, well first I'm gonna need some close-up shots." Vanitas approached Ventus, camera in hand, until he was also on the bed, kneeling in front of the blond, "Oh, you're going to need to lie down for this." His smirk deepened at the blonds red cheeks as he followed the ravens instructions.
