Chapter 2: The Model
Getting to their art class the next day was much easier and both boys actually arrived on time.
As Alex was taking attendance, the class was filled with excited whispers about their first human model.
Aomine was not one to really get excited per se, but he was anxious to see what this model looked like. If she had anything below a C cup, he swore he was going to walk out of the class!
Kagami on the other hand was a little nervous. Besides a few love scenes in movies, Kagami had never seen a naked woman before and he was embarrassed if such an occasion were to happen in a public place. He hoped Alex would go easy on them and at least have her wear a robe or something, but knowing her he seriously doubted it.
They were both brought out of their thoughts when Alex stood up to make an annoucnement.
"Ok everyone our model should be arriving shortly so go ahead and grab an easel and get your supplies ready. I have to go check on a few things, but I'll be right back."
Alex then briskly made her exit and the students began to make their way towards the supplies in the back of the room.
Neither Kagami nor Aomine made an effort to move. The red head simply crossed his out stretched legs and his arms before giving the blunette a nod to the back of the room. As Aomine was about to protest, he remembered his own stubbornness from the day before and with a glare got up from his seat to retrieve their needed supplies.
They were focusing so intently on setting up their easels properly, only being their second time and with no teacher around to help, that they didn't notice the hush that overcame the room.
Once settled, they both looked up.
Standing in the door way was a tall young man with short blonde hair and golden cat like eyes. He was wearing tight black jeans with a blood red v-neck and black leather knee high boots. He cast a searching gaze amongst the classroom of gawking students, slowly resting on Kagami and then Aomine in the front of the room.
Kagami stared as if frozen in place from the boy's quick glance upon him, those amber eyes setting his whole being on fire. He's gorgeous, he thought.
Aomine on the other hand glared daggers at the youth and actually thought he saw the blonde slightly shrink back in response. He did not want to admit he found the blonde man beautiful; heck that wasn't even a common word in his vocabulary! Glaring was all he could think to do; besides it came natural to him.
Upon noticing the empty teacher's desk, the young man hesitantly turned and was about to exit the room, when Alex appeared and flung both arms around his neck and planted a kiss upon his soft pink lips.
As if the class wasn't surprised enough, the public display of affection had them all failing to contain the blushes creeping up their faces.
Kagami's brain was just about malfunctioning, and Aomine appeared to only become more upset.
"Not here Alexcchi everyone is staring at us." The blonde's face was a light shade of red from the scene that had just taken place.
"Oh come on, no need to be shy." She smiled and directed the boy further in the room.
"Class I would like to introduce our model, and my adorable nephew, Kise Ryouta."
The blonde threw the class a dazzling smile and both boys swore they saw sparkles.
"Hello, I look forward to working with you all."
~ ~xXxXx~ ~
While Alex was helping Kise get settled on the elevated platform, Aomine and Kagami took the time to calm themselves down a bit.
The power forward stopped his intense glare to peek over at his friend. He noticed Kagami's face was a tad red, and he looked a little uncomfortable. Aomine shrugged, thinking he must be upset just like him, and then returned his watch back to the two blondes before him.
"Perfect!" Alex beamed and turned her attention towards the class.
Kise stood facing the few rows of students. He had one hand lightly behind his head, stroking his own soft locks before finally resting in place, while the other hung loosely to his pant pocket. His posture was light with a look of indifference and his eyes were glancing off to the side at nothing in particular. The spotlight directly above him illuminated his golden strands and his milky white complexion incasing the presence of a Greek god.
Everyone was speechless.
"Ok class, considering this is our first human model I want you all to only concentrate on his top body structure, so from his head to his shoulders. We will be concentrating on other areas of the human form throughout the semester. You have till the end of class, enjoy!" With that Alex descended from the platform and made her way to her desk.
Aomine had no idea where to even begin. He knew he only had to focus on a select part, but he actually found it hard with such an interesting specimen before him.
The blonde was unnaturally pretty for a guy, with his dark long lashes, warm amber irises and porcelain skin; Aomine couldn't help but stare.
The small silver hoop located on the boy's left ear was also something Aomine had not expected, it was erotic in its own way and something about it made him wonder how that cold, smooth silver would taste_ snapping out of his trance, Aomine decided it was best to try and concentrate on their assignment. Where better to start than with that exposed, velvety collar bone…
Kagami had to admit, the guy was beyond beautiful. He even thought he was the most gorgeous human being he had ever seen!
Back in middle school and high school he had a few crushes, but was always too focused on basketball to even consider a relationship, plus he found he didn't exactly know how to interact with those who made him…well, flustered.
This type of flustered was different though. He couldn't explain it, but it felt more intense as if there was some sort of gravitational pull drawing him in towards those hypnotic honey colored orbs.
Without thinking about anything else, Kagami raised his pencil to his easel and began his attempt to create what he knew he would never be able to properly convey on paper; the beauty of those mesmerizing eyes.
~ ~xXxXx~ ~
Class seemed too short that day, and both Aomine and Kagami found themselves actually reluctant to leave. If they didn't have their basketball club meeting next, they wouldn't mind sitting there and drawing the model all day.
"How did you boys enjoy today's class?" Alex began to adjust her glasses, but again her stare never left Kagami.
"It was ok." They lied. It was much better than 'ok'.
"Isn't my nephew just the most beautiful thing you've ever seen! I could just eat him up!"
"Alexcchi!" Kise whined, and excused himself from the group of female students that had surrounded him upon his leave from the platform, to join the trio at his aunt's desk.
"What? There's nothing wrong with being honest." The busty blonde looked up to her nephew with a pout, something she knew would have no effect on him, but tried regardless.
Kise ingnored his aunt's antics in turn of glancing at the two boys in front of her.
They have great builds, I wonder if they play any sports?
"Say do either of you guys play any sports?" He inquired.
Startled by the model's direct question, both Kagami and Aomine took a second to respond.
"Yeah we're both on the basketball team. Why?" It was Aomine who spoke
"Oooohhhh the basketball team! That sounds so exciting!" Kise beamed.
They were shocked by the blonde's enthusiastic reaction. Although he too was well built, he didn't seem like the type to enjoy sports.
"We're headed over there now for some practice if you want to join us." This time it was Kagami. He never felt shy when talking about basketball, no matter who it was with.
"You should go Ryouta, it sounds like fun." Alex chimed in.
Aomine looked over at his friend confused as to what the other was trying to do, and then to their teacher for throwing in her unwanted words of encouragement, and lastly back to the boy across from them to see his response.
He was puzzled to find the model's gaze turned towards the ground and his cheerful smile no longer present.
"Thank you, but I have someone waiting for me. Maybe some other time." With that he nodded to his aunt and then to the both of them before exiting the room.
Kagami was disappointed at the blonde's rejection, but also concerned. Something seemed off.
Alex's shook her head and mumbled something under her breath about 'too young' and 'have more fun.'
Aomine and Kagami didn't exactly get what had just transpired, but figured it wasn't their place.
As they were headed towards the door, on impulse Aomine turned around and asked "When will your nephew be coming back?"
Surprised by his question, Alex simply stared at him. "He'll be joining us for the next couple of weeks, unless he decides otherwise."
Curious as to who 'he' was, Aomine decided to not press the matter further. Instead he and Kagami made their way towards the gym, both lost in their own thoughts and hoping a few strenuous games of one-on-one would cure their new uneasy emotions.
A/N: So the model is Kise! Sorry if I disappointed anyone, but I truly love that boy so for me he is a must!
*Yeah I wasn't exactly sure what Kise would call Alex, because she is his family and they are in America so I figured her first name would be appropriate, and I believe he would respect her for her artistic talent and basketball knowledge (further to come), so I felt the ~cchi could fit.
- Sorry for the lack of dialogue, I felt as if a lot of things needed to be described here, but more talking is to come!
- Also I will be trying to update about every two weeks, hopefully sometimes sooner.
- Thanks for reading, and let me know what you all think :D
