The shuttering sound of a camera, and the people walking around distracted a ravenette male model from his thinking. He stood inside one of the photo shoot settings in the B.O building. Today has been a long day, and Kanda was getting bore. Changing outfits every few minutes became tiring.
"Alright, Kanda go change please." Bak ask while looking through the pictures he took on the screen of the computer.
Kanda did as told and went to the changing room for the hundred time. He knew arguing about small things with the blonde man would only waste time.
To say Kanda was in a good mood would be lying. For the past three days the model has been slightly more aggressive than before. It all started after the morning he had left the Moyashi's apartment. Things didn't go well like he had thought it would that Friday night. To this day, Kanda wanted nothing more than to kill a certain redhead. For some reason Kanda saw Lavi as the idiot who ruined his night.
Still, the Moyashi's sudden distance behavior and avoidance towards him bugged Kanda. Never before had someone pushed the ravenette away and he found that he didn't like it. Too long Kanda got used to being the one to put the distance between him and the people around. To have the roles turn was something new to him.
Even thought he might not like the way things ended, Kanda still found it worth the time on getting know and be with the Moyashi. He slightly chuckle remembering how the boy would pout – without him knowing – every time Kanda would call him by his pet name.
Three days has gone by since Kanda last seen the face he came to miss. Really miss. Everything about the boy made Kanda simply want to forget about who he was, what he did and to just follow his instincts.
Although following said instincts would only make things worse for him and probably send Kanda to jail. Moyashi is worth it.
After adjusting his jacket, Kanda was out and headed straight to the new set where Bak stood waiting for him and the two began working.

Two hours later Kanda was ready to leave. He was back in his regular clothes and gathered his belongings. On his way out he meet fellow models, photographers and other people who work in the same building.
He simply made his way out not really paying attention on who he passed or tried to talk to him. His mind at the moment was to find the Moyashi and talk. Kanda really didn't have the time for anyone else.
"Hey Kanda wait!"
Even as someone called out his name the ravenette kept walking trying to act like he didn't hear anything.
"Kanda!" Someone grabbed hold of his jacket sleeve and the model came to a stop.
"God, Kanda are you deaf?" Looking down at the petite girl who had stopped him, Kanda simply tugged his hand.
"What?" He ask the girl with long pigtails.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" The dark amethyst eyed female question.
His eyes narrow down on the girl. "I'm busy."
"Ah, Yuu you're always busy."
Kanda glance to his right to see fellow model Alma Karma approaching. "What are you doing here? I thought you were in China." The long haired male instantly became annoyed at the sight of Alma.
"Yuu, are you not happy to see me?" The brunette model dramatically ask while looking hurt.
"Che." Kanda knew he was wasting time talking to the two models.
"Kanda where were you yesterday? We didn't see you at the party."
The male in question was silent for a second before answering "Home."
He turn to leave but again was stop. "Come Yuu, let's go have dinner." Alma took hold of his arm and began to tug Kanda on the opposite direction. "Let's go Lenalee." Alma said while trying his best to move the now stoic ravenette.
Yet, Kanda being the stronger than Alma easily freed himself. He readjusted his jacket and sunglasses "I don't have time and would you stop calling me that." He didn't understand why Alma kept addressing him by his first name. They weren't that close.
"Kanda, you never want to spend time with us." Lenalee whined as she walk after the retreating ravenette.
The long hair girl manage to get ahead of him and stop in front of Kanda blocking the male's path. "Alright, I'll let you go if you answer just this question."
He knew the girl was stubborn when she wanted something and wouldn't stop until she got her way. Kanda gave in and simply offer her a single nod.
"Are you seeing someone and the reason you don't have time for us anymore?"
To begin with he didn't really hang around with both of the models unless it was necessary. Lenalee has a crazy brother that would kill any male that got too close for the man's comfort. His boss made the exception on a few man like the revenette to be near his sister, but still he wasn't to keen on being around the female anymore. She could be loud and obnoxious.
Kanda's attention went to Alma as he saw the brunette from the corner of his eye come stand to his side. It was quiet, Kanda looked at Alma a bit longer then back at Lenalee.
"Yes."
His answer was simple but he ment it. He made his way around the stunned looking girl and finally step outside. Walking fast Kanda didn't get see the hurt and longing look from Alma as he disappeared.
0o0o0o0o
Silence settle over the two models. Lenalee's eyes slowly drift back to Alma waiting for him to look away from the way where Kanda had left.
After a while Alma glance at Lenalee and smile. "He's seeing someone huh'?" But even as Alma try to appear fine Lenalee saw the hurt on the brunette's face.
"It looks that way." She reply softly.
Lenalee knew Kanda was saying the truth. The ravenette model wasn't the type to lie or joke around with something as serious as a relationship.
At one point the girl thought that Kanda and Alma would have gotten back together when they broke up. However, that didn't happen when three years went by and never once did Kanda show any sign of wanting to be with Alma again.
It's been a little over three years since Kanda became single. To hear from Kanda, himself, that he was seeing someone came as a shock to the both of them. Lenalee could see that Alma still loves Kanda as much as he did when they were together, but the ravenette has long ago moved on.
Of curse Kanda moved on fast because he was the one who ended the relationship three weeks into it. Alma was heart broken and asked if it was his fault that Kanda was ending their relationship. The long haired male only gave his reasons for the breakup and before long they were on their separate ways.
Their relationship might have ended, but that didn't mean Alma's love for Kanda did as well. Many times after their separation Alma desperately tried to get Kanda back, but that only brought conflict and arguing from the ravenette.
Sometime later Alma finally stopped trying hard to be with Kanda, although that didn't mean that he was giving up. Alma was simply staying on the side and was waiting for Kanda to reconsider about them with out Alma being to pushy. In spite of all that the wait has been long and now Lenalee knew that there was no chance of the two being together again.
"I wonder who it is?" Alma's question brought Lenalee back from her thinking.
The female let her gaze travel back to where the ravenette lad left. "I don't know."
Hopefully this time it will really work out for you, Kanda.
"Allen-senpai, I need help."
Allen look up from the book he was reading to see a female student with her hand raise up. He sat the book down and rose from his seat. He went up the stairs until he reached the fourth row.
"What's the problem?" He scan through her paper on the table as look for a problem.
The long hair girl smile and slowly pointed out the question she was having trouble with. Her eyes though, never leaving the cute male who came to her aid. After a minute Allen explain the question to the girl and she began to nod at his words.
"Thank you Allen-senpai, I'm not really good with English." She smile shyly as she look down at her paper and gently rubbed her hand with his.
Allen didn't notice the action and went back to his seat. The teen totally miss the crestfallen look he was leaving behind and pick up his book once more. He could hear a few people talking, but if their professor didn't mind then it didn't bother him either.
Class continued with Allen helping people around who didn't understand a few questions about their work. He really did like helping everyone he could. Allen knew the professor was grateful for the help. The class had many students and Allen didn't know how someone could manage such big class.

An hour went by and the teen began to he pack his belongings and stood up. It was lunch time and he knew Lavi and Fō would be waiting for him on their usual spot. After he got his food he headed out. On his way he met a few of his class mates and friends.
"Allen!"
Gazing up ahead he saw Lavi waving and Fō sitting next to his green eyed friend. "What took you so long?" Fō ask while taking a bit of her rice ball.
"Sorry." Allen smile apologetically while taking a seat.
"So, Al you coming to my house? You promise," Lavi gave him those big puppy dog eyes to convince the teen.
"I don't know. I have work after class."
"Well, you can come after work. I'll even pick you up if you want?" The redhead offer.
Allan thought about it. He really wanted to spend sometime at Lavi's but there was a problem. "Tim will be home alone and there will be no one to feed him." At the statement Lavi was the one thoughtful.
"I'll go feed the cat if you want."
Both Lavi and Allen turn to look at Fō who spoke up. "What? Do you want me or not?" The stares she was receiving made Fō frown.
"Sure, if you're alright with it." Allen didn't want to force her to take care of Tim if she didn't have time.
"It's fine." Fō simply said and continue to eat.
"It's settle then. At the end of class Allen will give you the key so you can open the door" Fō nodded agreeing with the redhead.
Allen smile at girl. "Thank you."
The three friends continue to eating and enjoy their time until the lunch hour was over. Allen and Lavi went to their class and told Fō to meet them at the north exit of campus at the end of the day.

Allen was getting ready for work in the employers lounge. His shift would start in a few minutes and he wanted to be presentable at work. He tied his white waiters apron around his hips and made a small knot. After he finish he went through the kitchen, met Jeri his boss and took his small note pad and pen.
As always the café was busy. Allen had never seen the place empty and wonder if it will ever be.
He took orders from the people sitting under the umbrella tables outside because a few of the waitress didn't really liked working outside. They said something about their hair getting messed up. Allen didn't mind and actually liked being outside.
"Hello and welcome to Jeri's. Are you ready to order?" Allen look over at the two men sitting under one of the outside tables. One was a blonde and another had dark hair with a tint of purple to his hair.
The man who was wearing a white beret hat and glasses smile and order first. Afterwords the blonde wearing dark shades order. Allen wrote down everything then dismiss himself and went back inside.

Komui Lee stare at the retrieving back of the young waiter who had just left. He looked back at his friend and employee Bak Chan. Going by the look in Bak's eyes he knew the photographer was thinking the same thing.
"He would be a wonderful addition to our company." Komui said getting the other's attention.
"You know, you're right. I do see him as one of our successful models." Bak took out his camera that he had brought along with him. They were making a short stop before going back the Order.
"His hair is very unique and his eyes, oh his eyes could just steal your soul-"
"Or heart." Bak added remembering the bright gray hues he just saw.
"But do you know what that boy really has?" Komui wonder as he lean in on the table waited for an answer.
"A personality," Back snapped his fingers pointing out the obvious.
Komui clap while smiling. "Yes, the moment I saw him talking to the other costumers I knew everyone he spoke to like him."
"If he does agree to work with us, he'll become as big as Kanda or even more. You know the boy actually smiles." Komui had to agree with the blond seeing how it was true.
Five minutes later they saw their waiter coming with their orders. Both man watch as the food and drinks were place down properly. "If that is all, I'll be leaving you and return when you are ready to leave." The smile on the boy's face made Komui want to stand up and hug him.
"Actually, there is something." Bak said while observing everything about the young teen.
"Yes what is it?" They saw the boy take out his note pad and pen.
"Would you please take a seat. I really want to ask you something." Bak motion to the chair in front of the waiter.
The young man stood still looking at Bak, but eventually took a seat. Komui knowing the boy had work to do didn't waste time."I'm the head of a company specialize in finding talented people and you had caught my attention."
The boy sitting not to far from Komui just blinked then shift a little on his seat. "What kind of talent?" He ask.
"Well, the company I run is a model agency and I really think you have what it takes to became a successful male model."
"You might have heard of some of the models that work for us. Like the biggest name is probably Kanda Yuu and others like such." Bak added while trying to remember who else was as famous as the moody model is.
Somewhere between Komui and Bak explaining, the boy had stood up. "I'm very flatter about the offer, but I'm not interested. I'm sorry, please enjoy your meal." As quickly as the teen spoke he left.
Both men were silent until Bak snap his head back to their table. "What just happen?" He look back at his superior.
"I think we just got rejected." Komui inform while taking his coffee and sipping the warm liquid.
"Well, that was new. Everyone we have ever talk to had jumped at the opportunity of being rich and famous." Bak took off his sunglasses and rubbed his eyes.
"That only shows you that not every one thinks the same."
"The only time something like this happen was when we first met Kanda. Remember, he was so against the idea until we convinced him." The photographer recalled the invent that happen a long time ago.
"And boy was that hard." The beret man added.
The two continue talking until they finish and simply sat waiting for the young waiter to return with the check, but it was another waiter who had arrived. Komui wonder if they might have scare the teen way. They paid and decided to leave seeing that they had to return to work. Before they left, Komui asked the waiter to give the white haired teen his business card.
Kanda stood waiting for the elevator to arrive at his destined floor. Every second that pass gave him time to think on how he would talk to the Moyashi. The moment he exited the B.O building he drove to the place where his current obsession resided. Kanda already knew that he was starting to get obsess with getting to know the teen. He wanted to see the Moyashi and badly.
The boy took most of his thoughts and Kanda knew he had to do something about it. All the current things happening to him were new and they demanded an answer. Whatever had happen last Friday night, Kanda would simply forget about it and start new tonight.
The elevator door part open as it came to a stop. Kanda step out and walk directly to the apartment number fourteen. He was getting closer to the door when it open and out walk Fō the girl he met the last week.
He saw her locking the door before checking to see if is was afterward. The girl turn around and stop. Kanda saw how she slightly frown up on seeing him. "What are you doing here?" By the tone of her voice the ravenette knew that Fō wasn't that excited to see him.
"It doesn't concern you." Kanda bit back not feeling like giving his reasons for being in the building.
"Well guess what, it does concern me because this is where Allen lives." Kanda simply glare at Fō who return the gesture.
It was quiet between them, and it only lasted until Fō spoke. "Look, if you think you can just come along and play around with people because you feel like it or whatever your reason is then you better turn around and never show your face here again."
Kanda was slightly surpris nobody – especially a girl – had ever spoken to him like that. In Fō's words Kanda could hear a warning or threat that he should just take and leave.
"And who are you to tell me what to do?" Kanda would not give up and be scared away that easily.
"I will only tell you this once. Stay. Away. From. Allen." Fō pocket her keys and walk away from the model.
He saw her leave and stood on place. After a moment Kanda look back at the door holding the number fourteen. His eyes stay stubbornly on the door and the last thing he would do is quit. The ravenette didn't know the word, and if he did he would have long ago quit modeling.
Whatever it would take, Kanda would stick on trying to win the Moyashi over. He would not stop until the boy was his. The moment he saw the young teen he knew Moyashi was special and he wasn't giving up.
Who really said things were easy? Some challenges were very rewarding at the end and Kanda knew his Moyashi is a very rewarding challenge.
