There's one thing I forgot! Their ages! I didn't know I forgot about them until YaoiLovingJew asked me how old Axel and Roxas were! O.o I'M A BAD AUTHORESS!!!!!!!!!
So! As long as all of you PROMISE, not to tell my English teacher (she hates it when forget facts and add them last minute in my essays and hope to sweet, sweet God that she won't catch it [which she always does]) I'll tell you all their ages:
Sora is 15 years old.
Roxas is 14 (he's one year younger than Sora, remember?)
Axel is 21 years old (let's make him old enough to drink. :) ).
Riku is 17 (he's been modeling since he was 15, though. Just a nice tidbit there for you.)
Cloud is…. Hmmm…. Let's put him at 28. (He started modeling at 18.)
Sephiroth is... let's see…. I'll let him be 29 (He's been photographing since he was 14, but became recognized when he was 19.)
And now as my thanks:
YaoiLovingJew (I took out the dots in your name so that the document uploader won't just put .Jew): Well, you should see your answer above. ^_^ I do like it when Roxas is a younger than Axel. Ha…. ^///^
Agatsuma Ritsuka: Yeah, Tetsuya Nobumura does steal a lot of names with his games, like the names of the aeons aren't original. But I do agree with you. His games are fo shizzle. Ha ha ha.
KHfujoshigirl98: thanks for the praise and I hope I don't disappoint you with a hot yaoi sex scene! Well, it won't come to later, but when it does, I hope it doesn't disappoint you!
mochiusagi, H3manga00, Yautja's Blooded Pet: Thanks for the review! And we'll move on to lip-kisses soon! ^_^
Gussie, phantombullets240: thanks a lot for your reviews! I'm happy that everyone likes Riku and Sephiroth's relationship with each other.
Chyuouko No Miyuzu: Shh! Don't give too much of Cloud-Sephiroth the plot away! ^\\\^ And to both you and Mitsuki2185, I will DEFINITELY have Axel and Roxas interact more! It's just that Roxas is too busy keeping Riku off Sora and didn't have much reason to talk to Axel since Axel didn't really do much until he hit Sora's face with a beach ball. (Wow, this is a run-on sentence! Don't tell my English teacher about this either! ^_^) Roxas probably had some strong-worded interactions with Axel then, but it was skipped cuz I just picked up the story from when Sora woke up. Why? Cuz I'm a lazy bum. ^_^ Yes, I'll admit it.
Chapter 3
8:13 AM.
When Sora woke up, Roxas was standing over him. It was at times like this did Sora swear that Roxas was his telekinetic twin (rather than a simple younger brother) or something, because the moment the brunette opened his eyes his brother said,
"All right, what happened?"
"Nothing, Roxas," Sora mumbled, half-asleep.
Roxas leaped onto Sora's bed and planted his legs on either side of his older brother.
"You're lying," he said.
'Damn, stupid, telekinetic—' Sora cursed.
"Nothing happened, Roxas, now go away…" the fifteen-year-old turned over.
"Tell me!" Roxas demanded, pouncing on his older brother.
"No!" Sora tried to fight him off. It was a little game that they had always played in their childhood when they kept a secret from each other. If one brother could pin the brother who had a secret down for three counts, then the brother who had a secret had to tell. Though, Sora had a history of losing these kind of games...
"Tell me!" Roxas repeated, grabbing Sora's shoulders and trying to pin him down. "One, two—" Roxas began a countdown, but Sora drew his leg in and pushed (not too hard though) his foot at Roxas' chest, sending his brother backward.
Sora grinned broadly, he hardly ever managed to knock his brother down. Though, Roxas easily got back on his feet and tackled the brunette again.
"Dammit, Sora!"
"No means no!" Sora retorted.
"Good morning, Sora! Roxas!" Axel said as he came in. "Breakfast will be…" the redhead trailed off.
To explain: the first thing Axel heard as he entered the room was "Dammit, Sora!" and "No means no!" and, at that moment, Roxas happened to be winning so he was on top of his older brother, who was lying between the blonde's legs.
Axel was silent as he continued to look at the Hikari brothers, who just realized exactly how suggestive their positions were. For several seconds they looked at Axel, and Axel looked at them. Then, the photographer reached into the pocket of his pajama pants, took out a cell phone and snapped a picture.
"You know, I always thought that Roxas would be on top…" he said to himself as he saved the picture.
Sora turned bright red. Roxas rushed off him and tried to snatch the cell phone out of Axel's hands.
"Give me that!" he said.
But Axel held the cell phone above his head, far beyond the blonde's reach. "Not a chance!" the photographer said and he raced out of the room, Roxas on his heels.
Sora raced to the door in time to see Axel and Roxas disappear down the hall, shouting.
The door to the Japanese Room slid open and Riku stuck his head out. "What's with all the noise?" he asked, yawning. Sora blinked. He didn't think Riku was wearing pajamas last night. He must have changed after they got back from getting a drink of water. Now Riku wore a dark blue, silk pajamas composed of a matching button up, long-sleeved shirt and pants. The two top buttons of the shirt were open, allowing Sora to glimpse his beautiful collarbone and a little of his muscular chest. His hair was tussled in almost all directions in a rather attractive way. Riku ran a hand through his hair and shook his head. His locks of silver hair whirled around him for a moment before settling down with perfection.
The brunette gulped. Even in the morning, Riku was breath-taking. He nervously combed through his own hair with his hand.
Sora really didn't want to explain what happened else he'd die of embarrassment, so he shrugged his shoulders. "Beats me," he said. He felt his forehead tingle as they recollected the feeling of Riku's lips. Sora felt his cheeks flush. "I'm… I'm gonna change for breakfast, Axel says it's ready—" Riku gripped his wrist, stopping the brunette before he could retreat back into the room.
"Change? What for?" he asked.
"I-I don't want to go eat with my pajamas on…" Sora managed, liking the feel of Riku's skin a bit too much.
Riku laughed as he towed him to the hallway entrance, "Oh please, Ax walks around in his PJs all the time."
"But it's his house…" Sora began. "He can—"
"Those pajamas look really sexy on you," Riku teased, throwing him a crooked grin.
At that point nearly all the blood had rushed to Sora's head and he was silent as Riku led him to the kitchen.
Axel and Roxas were already seated at the table. Judging by the look on Roxas' face, Sora determined that his younger brother had failed to delete the picture.
"Relax, I won't show it to anyone," Axel said. "Though, I might sell it," he said, smirking.
Roxas threw him a menacing glare.
"Geez, it was just a joke. Calm down," Axel said. "Angry, little midget…" the photographer added quietly.
The blonde contemplated if the knife so close to his hand could kill Axel, but he settled for viciously slicing an orange in half. And anyway, he and Sora were exactly the same height and there's nothing wrong with being short!
Cloud was there, as well as Sephiroth. The blonde refused to be miss Sora's photoshoot just because he couldn't stand to be in a room with Sephiroth. He was adult for crying out loud! So, the former model buckled down and decided to have some breakfast. He watched Sephiroth warily as he ate. The silver-haired man had a rather pleasantly, disturbing smile on his face.
Riku, who fully understood the rarity of Sephiroth's smile, did not miss the opportunity to ruin his manager's day right when he was all bright and shiny.
"Holy crap, Seph, you're smiling. You finally got knocked up, or what?" he said.
"Of course," came Sephiroth's calm reply, his smile holding.
Okay. Now Riku was officially worried. There is no way that Sephiroth could be that happy. The world just didn't work that way. It just didn't.
Something was going to happen.
Definitely.
Riku felt sorry for Cloud.
Sora took his seat next to Roxas and Riku took his seat next to the brunette. Both began to eat.
Cloud finished breakfast first.
"I'm going to head to the Halloween room and wait there," he said to Roxas and Sora. "Come and get me when the photoshoot starts, all right?"
"Got it," the Hikari brothers said.
Sephiroth didn't immediately get up after Cloud, but he was the second to leave after breakfast. Axel left next, muttering to himself.
"He's brainstorming," Riku explained to Sora and Roxas.
"But didn't he already say what he wanted yesterday?" Sora asked him. "You know, the good boy-bad boy... thing..."
"No, he was only giving the elements of what he wanted in his photoshoot, now he's building on those elements right now," Riku paused. "Or maybe he did say what he wanted yesterday, but now he's reworking it again. He does that sometimes."
They were the only ones left at the table. They didn't bother to change out of their pajamas since they were going to just change for their photoshoot and pajamas were much more comfortable anyway. At nine o'clock Axel came to the dining room asked them all if they were ready for the photoshoot. They all said they were, but the Hikari brothers went to get the manager.
Sora and Roxas went to get Cloud and on the way back they found Sephiroth. Even though he insisted that he wasn't lost, Cloud was pretty sure he was.
"He has a horrible sense of direction," Cloud told them in a low whisper.
Sephiroth thwacked Cloud lightly on his bum.
"Bad boy, Cloud," he said, smirking a little. "Don't say such unnecessary things."
Cloud glared at him and picked up the pace as they walked back to the dining room.
When they got back, Axel escorted them to the studio, which was fairly large. Sora and Roxas had never been in a studio this size before.
In front of them was their photoshoot setting.
It looked just like a cut from a museum. The entire thing was about 15 by 20 feet. There were paintings of various styles in elegant frames on the walls ("Replicas," the redhead explained) and several statues. In the center of the set was a large, white marble, cylinder pedestal which easily caught Sora's attention. There was easily enough room at the top for a person to lie down on it. On the upper body of the pedestal, he noticed that there was a card that said his name but before Sora could ponder why Roxas tugged him away from the set.
"Sora come on, they're going into another room," his younger brother said.
"Ah, right!" Sora replied. They caught up with the group.
This room was easily identified as the making-up/changing room. To the left, there was a clothes rack where Axel was wrestling out several garments. In front of them were three vanity tables against the wall with a chair was in front of each them.
"This is what you two will be wearing for the photoshoot," Axel said, holding up two outfits.
Riku's was a tight, black, sleeved shirt that cut off just above his elbows. There were matching cargo pants, leather gloves and shoes.
The silver-haired model frowned at his outfit. Black, again…
'Well, at least it won't be hot this time…' he thought to himself.
Sora's outfit was looked like a no-sleeved, white shirt with a raised collar and the shirt parted at the seams just beneath the waist area to give it a Chinese feel. The pants were made of silk, as was the shirt, and ended a few inches below Sora's knees.
Both clothes lacked intricate designs, which surprised both of them since they were used to more complex and decorated attire.
"I know you think your clothes are a bit simple," Axel said, "but I want the viewers to look at you, not the fancy clothes you're wearing.
"The theme of the photoshoot will be 'Phantom Thief'!" the redhead announced proudly. "I just decided on it this morning!" The silver-haired model shook his head. Leave it to Axel to take things as they go...
"Wait," Cloud said. "I don't understand. If you just thought up this theme this morning, how in the world could you prepare the clothing so fast?"
"I said 'decided,' not 'thought,'" Axel said. "I had three tangeble ideas thought up before you guys got here--sets, clothes, themes, the whole shebang. But I just figured out which one I wanted this morning."
"Then how did you get the measurements for the clothes?"
"I called Marluxia for Riku's and Demyx for Sora's," the photographer shrugged. "It seemed easier than measuring you myself."
Axel continued, "So anyway! Riku, naturally, will be a thief stealing Sora, who will be a work of art!"
"A work of art?" Sora repeated. That explained the pedestal with his name on it.
"Yup! But that doesn't mean you have to be stiff!" the twenty-two year old added. "Now Sora, as an artwork, your first, innocent, little instinct is that you don't want to be stolen by Riku. But!" Axel pointed at Sora. "You can't help yourself. You're captivated by him-- he's easily just as beautiful as the works of art surrounding you. And though you struggle, you do it half-heartedly. You like this thief--you can't deny it, but you know it's wrong. That's why you resist him."
"Um, I don't think I can do that," Sora began. "I've never done anything like this before." It was true. Sora was a fashion model, which didn't require much indepth facial expression or storyline like Axel's. He just had to look nice, smile, pose, et cetera, et cetera.
"You'll do great!" the redhead assured him.
"So!" Axel clapped his hands together. "Please go into the changing rooms and we'll begin when you're done." The photographer exited the room, Cloud and Sephiroth following after him.
Roxas stayed.
'Ever-so-glued to his brother's side,' Riku commented to himself.
Sora gulped. His heart had been racing faster and faster. The reality of the fact that he was actually doing a photoshoot with Riku was suffocating. His stomach twisted all over and terrible scenarios of how he could screw up the photoshoot ran at lightspeed through his mind.
"Sora, catch!" came Riku's voice.
"Huh?" Sora looked up in time to see Riku toss his outfit to him. Sora caught it.
"Come on, Ax's waiting," Riku said. "We can both change in the room over there." He pointed to the left side of the room. There was a door that Roxas and Sora hadn't noticed because of the clothes rack.
The three models went into the changing room. It had separate stalls for changing, just like the changing room in department stores. Roxas waited outside the cubicles while Sora and Riku went in.
Each stall was rectangular-shaped. At the wall opposite the door was a snuggly-fitted couch. On the adjacent wall was a large mirror. There were also several hooks on all four walls for clothes. Sora hung his clothes on one of the hooks and began to remove his shirt. The walls that separated the stalls and the door were raised about a foot, so that someone could tell if another person was inside a cubicle.
While Sora was changing, he couldn't help but think of Riku. He leaned down a little to look and Riku's bare feet in the next stall. He heard clothes being tossed aside, but Riku's pajama pants were still on, so he must have removed his shirt. Sora tossed his shirt loudly onto the couch so that it looked like he wasn't just standing there staring at Riku's feet. The brunette heard more movement and he saw Riku's pajamas fall loosely at his ankles.
Sora blushed. 'No, Sora!' the brunette chasitized himself. He turned around quickly and continued changing.
Riku was unhappy as he changed. Roxas was starting to get annoying. He would have to deal with him eventually. Perhaps he could get Axel to help him. Axel wasn't gay, but he didn't need to be. He just needed to keep Roxas away from Sora long enough for Riku to work his magic.
When Sora finished, he took a last look at his hair, which looked as well as it always would.
'Stupid, untamable mass of brown...' Sora thought to himself bitterly. He got out of the stalls, and then he and Roxas went to place his pajamas on a vanity table.
Riku came out, holding his pajamas, several minutes later. Sora couldn't help but stare at him. The tight black shirt fit well over his muscular body and the black contrast made his skin appear to be paler than usual. His cargo pants were loose on him. And though it was a pity that they didn't accentuate his fine features as his shirt did, the way the clothing floated off his body made him seem sexy.
Sephiroth and Cloud were standing about two meters apart from each other. Cloud had his arms folded over his chest and nodded--an encouraging gesture-- at Sora. Sephiroth glanced at Riku briefly before looking at the studio with interest. He was standing closer to the setting then he usually would, apparently he liked Axel's idea.
"Sora! We're gonna start!" Axel called. He was by his camera (a stunning Leika M9) which was fixated on a tripod.
"Ah! Right, I'm coming!" Sora trotted to the setting.
"Go get 'em, Sora!" Roxas encouraged. He picked a spot not too close to the setting-- and far from Sephiroth-- and stood there.
Riku was already at the set.
"Ready?" he asked, flashing Sora a grin.
Sora managed to nod.
"Sora, could you get on the pedestal?" Axel asked. "Riku, you too."
"R-right." Sora climbed on top of the marble cylinder and scooted backwards to give Riku room. The brunette sat a bit off center with his legs slightly drawn into him to give Riku room. The silver-haired model sat with his legs folded underneath him and he waited for Axel's queu.
"Okay," the redhead got behind his camera. "Riku, remember you're supposed to be a phantom thief. Sora, you're a helpless work of art. Start!"
Immediately, Riku bent very close to Sora, which made the brunette lean backwards, flushing at the close proximity. His turquoise eyes were locked onto Sora's royal-blue ones.
The camera clicked quietly.
Riku smiled at him, much like how someone who found deep appreciation in an artpiece would smile.
Click. Click Click.
Roxas stepped foreward. Riku was getting too close to Sora. From the blonde's peripheral vision he saw that Cloud was looking uneasy also.
Sora's arms were trembling, not entirely out of fear, but more out of excitement with Riku's dominating, beautiful form above him. He was trapped inside his extravagant, sea-colored eyes and Sora couldn't bear the thought of being free from them. They were focused, strong, and very excited.
They wanted to do more.
Riku moved forward, breaking the spell of his eyes on Sora and reminding the brunette how nervous he was. The silver-haired model's face was millimeters Sora's, like last night. And just like last night, the silky lips eluded his mouth and Sora felt Riku's smooth cheek brush against his own—
Click Click.
--briefly when he whispered into his ear.
"Relax, Sora," he murmured. His sultry breath on Sora's ear made him shudder pleasantly and his muscles nearly turned to water.
Click Click.
Riku suddenly rocked back onto his knees while simultaneously grabbing Sora's waist and pulled the brunette so close that their pelvises were touching. With one hand still on Sora's hips, the older model grabbed one of Sora's arms and tossed it casually over his shoulder. Riku looked at the camera with a cocky smirk and his eyes dancing.
He's mine, his eyes seemed to stay.
Click Click-Click.
Sora's face was hot at the contact of Riku's hips. The slight pressure of having their bodys touch such private areas muddled Sora's mind.
Click Click.
"Riku!" Axel's voice snapped Sora from his thoughts. "Enough showing off your face! Let Sora have the spotlight a bit!"
"Got it," Riku nodded. The silver-haired teenager moved behind Sora, placed his hands on the smaller boy's upper arms and made him face the camera. Then Riku lowered his head and pressed a kiss to younger teenager's shoulder. Sora fidgeted a little with surprise on contact. He shut his eyes and reveled in the touch. His lips pulsed with jealousy. Involuntarily, he tilted his head away from Riku, as if giving him access to the base of his neck.
Click Click. Click Click.
At any other moment, Riku would have accepted such a delightful invitation, but (1) he was in a photoshoot and therefore in the middle of work, and (2) Sora was just too cute to tease.
The older model knew what Sora wanted: the pleasant touch of their lips as they meshed together. But Riku definitely wasn't going to give him that-- not yet.
After all, that's how he was going to make the brunette crazy for him.
He pulled his mouth away from the younger teenager's shoulder, and Sora fought himself to avoid whining at the loss. It was then did he remember that he was supposed to a trying to resist Riku. He twisted his body, trying to free himself from Riku's grasp. The silver-haired teenager, catching on that Sora was playing his character, pulled him back in place (he was trying to steal him, afterall.)
Click. Click Click Click.
Sora raised his head and stuck out his chin towards the side of the studio to show discomfort and opposition, creating the affect that he was refusing to simply stand there and let himself be stolen. All the while, though, his shoulder was burning where Riku's mouth touched him and his own lips throbbed.
Click Click.
Riku's hand left Sora's arm and slowly ran along the brunette's side. Sora gasped—
Click. Click Click
--and flushed darkly. The friction of Riku's hand on his body was maddeningly pleasurable.
Click Click.
"That's enou—" Cloud began, but Sephiroth's unsheathed sword was at his chest, stopping him.
The blonde glared at him. "He has enough pictures. This photoshoot is done," Cloud said.
"No, it isn't," Sephiroth said firmly. He, as a former photographer, recognized the high quality in Axel's work. It was genius to pair Riku and Sora together, whether it was accidental or intended. Their chemistry brought this photoshoot to life. Sora's unsure, innocent expressions contrasted well with Riku's sure, practiced, intimate touch. The concept of lust's insistant pull and their effects (which the brunette was portraying so well, or rather, which Riku was leading Sora to portray so well), the usage of simple clothing and color to characterize the models and the uniqueness of the idea were all constituents that will make this photoshoot spectacular. The silver-haired man was not going to let this photoshoot stop.
"Don't interfere, Cloud," Sephiroth said. "Or shall I shout out all your embarrassing little secrets at this very moment? Like how you--"
"Shut up!" Cloud growled at him. The former photographer looked quite pleased with himself. Sephiroth then turned to Roxas.
"If you try to stop this photoshoot, I will personally slice off your nose," he said, his eyes deadly.
Riku trailed his hand towards Sora's stomach, catching some of the loose fabric of his shirt in his finger tips and lifting it upwards, showing some of Sora's skin.
Click-Click. Click Click.
Acting like a reluctant work of art, the younger model's hand snapped to Riku's wrist and pushed it aside.
Click. Click.
'Resisting… I'm supposed to be resisting…' Sora kept reminding himself. It was hard when his body was more than willing to give into Riku's touches.
Sora broke free from Riku—
Click. Click-Click.
--but the older model caught his arm and pushed him down. Riku's hands pressed down on his shoulder, pinning Sora on his stomach with his face to the camera.
Click Click Click.
Sora's head banged against the marble when Riku pushed him and he winced a little. The silver-haired teenager leaned down and apologized.
Click Click.
Riku settled down on Sora's waist, loving how the younger model shuddered against him.
Click. Click.
The older model inhaled slowly and then blew into Sora's ear. The fifteen-year old's body jolted a little before he shut his eyes with discomfort. Riku glided his hand down Sora's bare arm,
Click Click. Click.
the muscles underneath the brunette's skin tightened momentarily before relaxing at his touch. Riku flicked his gaze to the camera.
Click-Click. Click. Click.
Riku was grinning. The brunette's body was hot. Sweet and hot. If he wasn't playing, this wouldn't be a bad place to simply take the brunette for himself.
Right in front of his brother, who thought that simply staying by Sora's side would deter Riku from his goal. Dumbass… Right in front of Sephi's ex, who'd probably beat him to a pulp afterwards since he was larger than Riku. Sephiroth would be indifferent, and Axel… just exactly what would Axel do?
'Probably take pictures and sell them on the internet like 'awesome' best friend he is…' Riku smirked.
Click Click Click. Click.
"And we're done!" Axel shouted, surprising both models.
"Great work, Riku! Sora!" the photographer was grinning broadly. "We're done here!"
Riku got off the pedestal rather pleased with himself. Roxas rushed to Sora's side, shooting Riku a dirty glare as he did so.
"Sora!" he said. "You all right?"
"Yeah…" Sora said, clearly in a daze. "M'fine…"
Roxas cupped his hands underneath Sora's arm and hauled him off the pedestal. The brunette stumbled a little before firmly planting his feet on the ground. His brother steadied him.
"Roxas, I said I'm fine…" Sora insisted.
"Good work, Riku," Sephiroth said as Riku raised his arm to stretch himself. His manager was actually looking at him for once while he said it. He definitely liked Axel's idea.
"Aw Sephy, you shy, little bastard, you do have a heart!" Riku said, clasping his hands together.
Sephiroth's gaze immediately turned to ice and he tried to whallop Riku with his sword. The silver-haired teenager dodged it.
Axel was reviewing the pictures on his camera, too engrossed to realize everyone was waiting if he was going to do anything else. When he was done, he looked up.
"Oh," he said, noticing that there were people around him. "Well, that's all for today, all I've gotta do is select the best pictures. I'll need the rest of the day to do that," he told them. The redhead glanced at the managers. "I'll run what I've picked out through you guys. Until then you're all free for today. Go crazy."
Cloud nodded and then, placing his hand on Sora's shoulder, began to steer him away. Roxas didn't follow him, which made Sora curious, but he saw his brother walking towards Axel and realized that he was going to talk to him.
Axel thought the last person to talk to him would be Roxas (since he socked his brother with a beachball the yesterday.)
"You should have stopped the photoshoot," Roxas said.
"What for?" Axel asked. "Sora was brilliant. He gave me the exact facial expressions I needed. When I first saw him in a magazine, a goofy kid with a goofy grin, I knew he had potential. It just needed careful coaxing."
The blonde could have hit him. "That was sexual assault," he fought to keep his voice even.
"Hardly," Axel scoffed, "nothing really juicy hap—"
Roxas swung his arm out, meaning to smash Axel's face in, but the redhead easily evaded it.
Axel let out a low whistle. "You've got a bit of a temper, don't you?"
"Only around careless assholes who let my brother get groped in front of them just to take a stupid picture."
"Oh please, Sephiroth wasn't doin' anything either. I don't see you getting pissed off at him…"
'That's because Sephiroth is psychotic and he walks around with a nine-foot sword…' Roxas said to himself.
"If you're trying to say that you don't want me to show Sora and Riku's pictures, then say so," Axel said.
Roxas huffed, "I don't want you to—"
"No can do!" Axel waved a finger at him.
The blonde growled.
Axel's eyebrows raised as he noticed something. "I could have used you too…" he said, more to himself than to Roxas. He leaned down, getting very close to Roxas' face. "But it would have been too repetitive to use such two dark individuals. If you didn't have such angry lines on your face…. Hmmm…. Maybe if I had changed the theme around? Nah…" He turned away from Roxas with a finger pensively on his cheek. "This theme was too good to pass up… And besides, everyone does dark themes… That's no fun… Next time, maybe..."
It was obvious that Axel's mind had gone elsewhere and it would be useless to chew him out as he was now. The younger Hikari turned heel and walked out of the studio.
Axel stopped muttering to himself when the blonde turned around. He watched Roxas' retreating figure with interest.
'Nice ass…' he thought.
Sora knew long before he got into the changing rooms that Cloud was going to give him a serious talk. And the brunette would let him. Cloud was only looking after him. But…
'I won't listen…' he thought to himself as changed. Sora loved it when Riku touched him. Proof was in the uncomfortable tightness in his pants.
The brunette straightened out his clothes, gathered his artwork outfit and then went out of the stall. Roxas was standing next to Cloud with a scowl on his face. Sora was about to wonder why Riku wasn't changing yet when he saw the silver-haired model coming into the changing rooms. His gaze instantly fell on Sora.
"You did great, Sora," he said, smiling.
"Thanks," the younger model replied, rubbing his forearm a little to ease his nervousness.
Cloud's hand was on Sora's shoulder and the model felt his manager move him out of the room. Sora casted a final glance at Riku before he disappeared from view. The brunette placed his artwork clothes on one of the vanity tables and left.
Roxas was stringing quiet curses as they walked back to the White Room. Sora felt bad that he made his brother swear so badly, but Roxas would undoubtly flip out if the brunette said that Sora liked it (every last delicious bit of it.)
His manager shook his head, he was just as angry at Riku as Roxas, but he had always been more reserved. It bothered Sora. It wasn't like Cloud to not say anything after this morning. When Roxas had gone into the White Room muttering to himself, Sora waited a while and turned to his manager.
"You're not going to say anything, Cloud?" Sora asked.
"I'm not going to let yours and Yorushi's photos get published," Cloud said. "Those aren't the kind of pictures you should be doing, Sora."
"But--!" It surprised Sora how much he wanted the pictures to be published. He could only imagine how embarrassing his face must have looked, but still. Those pictures were proof that he and Riku had modeled together and... "Cloud!" the brunette protested, but his manager cut him off again.
"I know Roxas must have already told you, but I'll say it again: Stay away from Riku Yorushi. You know he can only hurt you, Sora. So please don't be alone with him." Cloud went into the Halloween Room.
Sora stayed out in the hallway for a bit. The memory of the photoshoot was in his mind, and a pleasurable tingle ran down his spine. The maddening aches of his lips were driving him crazy.
It was near lunchtime did Riku come into Axel's room.
"Axel, we need to talk," Riku said as he came into the redhead's room.
The Fire Room, AKA Axel's Room, was spraypainted with various shades of orange and a twinge of red that lent to a firey image. Axel's windows were always uncurtained as to let the light in the room. There was a desk with a computer and printer and an adjoining bathroom/dark room. There was a TV in front of the bed, and stacks of reference photos, CDs and DVDs. Axel was currently on his bed (which, like the rest of the room, was a shade of red), looking over the pictures on his Leica.
"Mm-hm, what's up?" the redhead said inattentively.
"I need to get Sora alone," Riku said. That got the photographer's attention. He placed his camera to the side.
"Oh?" Axel raised a brow. "And what do you want me to do?"
"I saw you staring at his brother's ass," the silver-haired model said with crooked grin.
"Pul-lease, I don't have a 'no preference' on gender like you. And as it stands, I can't help it if he has a cute, tight girl's ass."
"Seph can keep their manager busy well enough. All I need is to get rid of Roxas."
Axel laughed. "You sound like some sort of coupe de'tat leader or somethin', you know that?"
Riku grinned at him.
"So, my leige!" the redhead said, standing up straight and saluting Riku playfully, "When shall we strike?"
"At 1400 hours today, o' easily replacable, dumb subordinate," the model laughed.
Author's Note:
Well, I won't lie. Axel's photoshoot was inspired by DNAngel. Ahh, Dark…. ^///^ So hot.
About Axel's camera. I have NO IDEA what cameras they use in photoshoots and I have absolutely NO knowledge of camera quality. But I'm pretty sure that Leica is a good brand, so I was like, 'O-kay, let's give Axel a Leica M9!'
Somehow, I'm back at thievery… it feels repetitive since my last story was about thieves as well. But you know what, it made a great photoshoot!
Right?
Didn't it? -_-;;;;
I thought so… -_-
I was planning on using Halloween Town as the setting for Axel's photoshoot because I really wanted to keep to the worlds in Kingdom Hearts. But you know where that would have gone? (That's rhetorical question, by the way.) It woud have gone to vampires and werewolves and all that cliche nonsense that I bet all of you are probably sick of! I mean, I KNOW you people get enough of that vampire, supernatural stuff from Supernatural, Twilight, Vampire Diaries, and Moonlight. There's just SO MUCH supernatural going on just by the TV alone. Plus, there's TONS of RikuSora vampire pics so I decided to go into another direction. :) I'm making it sound like I hate supernatural stuff, but I really don't. I love Twilight, though I only read the first book cuz it got WAY to emo after that, and I love werewolves and witchcraft. :) :) I was also thinking of a Land of the Dragons photoshoot with Riku as an emperor and Sora a as a shy concubine. But I wanted the sensual feel of the photoshoot to be more implied. I thought of a sexy Beauty and the Beast with Riku as The Beast and Sora as Belle. Beauty and the Sexy Beast, that would have been nice too... Maybe if you ask nice enough I'll rework the photoshoot to Beauty and the Beast. Hmmm... what about a Pirates of the Carribean photoshoot? Maybe that would have been nice....
Well, school had started for me and the workload is slowly piling up. O.o;;; Which is why this update is delayed. And all other updates will probably take long as well, but I'll try my best!
--See you all next chapter!
