A Green Boy

As soon as Hao stepped through the door of the agency building, he got crowded by screaming staffs that asking for him to take a photo together with them. Hao merely smiled and refuse before he ran away to the elevator, it's good for him that he could run faster than others, or he would get himself crowded by the staffs. Hao sighed in relief when the door of the elevator closed, he really need to walk fast in the agency building, or he would get surrounded again.

It's maybe the first time he went to the agency building, but he get himself a bit of fame when he helped his Mother in one of her photo shot. People were talking about how cool looking he was, and even though it's was more than 5 years ago already, people were still talking about him and wondering if he would joined any model agency in the future.

The answer is yes, he would. He had promised Yoh to be a famous person after all, and the first step to be famous was to be a model like his Mother.

The elevator's door opened when Hao reached 6th floor, he stepped out and walking quickly to the room he know his Mother's friend would be in. He knocked the door and wait for him to be let in, but instead of the person inside told him to enter, the door was opened by a man with a long black hair that was pretty much like him, but his hair was reddish dark brown in color.

"Silva." Hao said with a smirk on his face, "Long time no see, Uncle." He chuckled when Silva grimaced at the word 'Uncle'.

Well, Hao didn't blame him, Silva was only 10 years apart from Hao, and Hao was only 16 himself. Silva was Keiko's Little Brother, when Silva was 10 and Keiko 19, Keiko gave birth to Hao and Yoh, that's why Silva become their Uncle even though he was more suited to be their Older Brother.

"Long time no see, Hao, but please don't call me that." Silva complained still with a grimace, "Just call me Silva, I would feel like I'm so old already when you call me Uncle".

Hao chuckled, "Alright, Silva." He nodded before smirking again, "So, how about my proposal?".

Silva grinned at Hao, "Accepted right away." He answered as he opened the door more so Hao could stepped in, "Mr. Luchist had know of your potential from the time when you helped Keiko 5 years ago, so he accepted right away when you propose to be our new model".

Hao smirked in satisfaction when he heard that, having a good look and nice body really have their plus point. "I'm glad to hear that." He said calmly with a crossed arms, he took a seat as Silva also take a seat, "So, when will I start working?" he asked curiously.

Silva smiled, "We will do some measurement first so we can prepare the clothes to fit you perfectly." He explained as he picked his phone up and pressed a number for speed dial, "Tamao, come to my room and bring your stuff with you." He said and after receiving answer from Tamao, he placed the phone back to it's place.

"Tamao?" Hao asked curiously.

"Tamao is our new measuring staff, she is so smart and has a nimble hand, she hasn't make a single mistake ever since she work three months ago." Silva explained with a mischievous grin, "But she is just to shy, so try not to embarrass her so much".

Hao glared at Silva before looking at the door when he heard a knock, Silva told them to enter and a second later, the door opened and a pink haired girl around 14 years old entered the room with a bad in her hands. She bowed to Silva before looking to Hao, she then smiled shyly at Hao, "He, hello. My name is Tamamura Tamao. Ni, nice to meet you." She said timidly.

Hao nodded at the girl, "Asakura Hao, nice to meet you as well." He said in professional tone before standing up, he know the basic of measurement, so he stood up without even the girl need to ask him.

Tamao opened her bag and pulled out a roll of a long leather ruler and started taking Hao's shoulder width, she write down the number on a paper that she brought with her before continuing with Hao's chest and waist area. In less than a minute, the girl finished and left the room after bowing to Silva.

"She was so quiet for a girl." Hao commented as he sat back down, "I'm glad though, if she was like the other girls, I will surely still talking useless topics with her".

"Yes, that was also the reason why she was popular around our models, she was she so didn't become a bother to a famous models with the useless talk." Silva said with a nod of agreement, "But she was also famous for her skill and good work".

"I see." Hao commented before clearing his throat, "Silva, I need to go now, call me when you decided when I can start working." He said as he stood up.

Silva stood up as well before opening the door for Hao, "I understand, I will call you when the plan is ready." He said with a small smile, "Today is the day, huh? Already 6 years since that day".

Hao nodded with a plain expression, "Yeah, that's why I want to be alone today." He answered with a cold voice before he sighed, "Too bad you are so busy that you only can meet with me today".

Silva chuckled, "Not my fault that I get chosen as the head of model agency." He answered before Hao walked out of the room and walked away quietly.

A week after Hao formally become a model, he received a text message from Silva that he need to come to the company, so he get dressed and walked out right away. The travel was short since he and his Mother lived near the agency building, so in just a few minutes of walk, he arrived at the company.

Just when Hao want to opened the front door, he remembered the last week incident, his hand halted when it's halfway to the handle. Hao gulped when he thought of the possibility of getting himself surrounded again, but he couldn't back down just because of a crowd of people, so he inhaled deeply then opened the door.

"Kyaaa! It's Hao!" The scream was his clue, Hao made a mad dash to the elevator, but as soon as he saw the door was closed and heard the pounding footsteps of the women behind him getting louder and closer, he dashed to the stairs and take two at a times. In no time at all, he get on to second floor and he continued to run until he arrived at the room he was told in the message.

Hao opened the door, stepped in, and then closed the door in a flash. Just in time too, since as soon as he closed the door, he can practically heard the running footsteps ran passed him like the sound of a thousand of horses running behind him.

Hao sighed as everything become quiet again, but then he looked up when he heard a chuckle. There, in the room was a teen boy and Silva standing while staring at him. Well, in Silva's case, he was chuckling more than staring before laughing out loud. Hao stood straight and cleared his throat, he was a person who care about his appearance after all, "I'm sorry if I made you wait." He said in a calm voice, but his cheeks had a pink tint to them.

After Silva managed to control his laugh, the man gestured for the boy in the room that looked like he was a year younger than Hao, "Let me introduce you, this is Lyserg Diethel. He will be your partner for today, and I'm sure he will be your often become your partner in the future." He explained with a grin.

Hao looked at the boy, and what registered in his mind the instant he saw the boy was . . . 'Green'. A green boy, Hao thought as he take a better look at the boy. Lyserg has a spiky green hair and a pair of emerald green eyes, he also wearing a cape that was green in color with square pattern, he looked like an image of a Detective in an old Rome novel.

Lyserg smiled at Hao, "Nice to meet you, I'm Lyserg Diethel." He said with his British accent leaked in his voice.

Hao nodded and smirked, "Asakura Hao. It's nice to meet you as well, I hope we can be a good partner, Diethel-san." He said with confident clear in his voice.

Lyserg nodded, "I also hope so." He answered before smiling again, "You can call me Lyserg, by the way, Asakura-san".

Hao smirked again and held out his hand, "You can call me Hao." He said as they shook their hands.

"Alright." Silva said as he clapped his hands, "Now that you two had been introduced with each other, I want you to wear the clothes over there and let Radim, our photographer, to tell you how you should pose." He then looked at his watch, "Well, I need to go, so you just need to listen to Radim until he told you that you are finished".

The two boys nodded and Silva walked out of the room, they then went to the dressing room to change their clothes. As they took many photo shots though, Hao noticed that Lyserg was not as shy as he looked like, he can be bold too when he need to. Interesting, Hao thought as he watched Lyserg do a pose that make him looked like a tough boy, He can become like he was another person when he do the photo session that required him to act tough.

Meanwhile, Lyserg was also thinking about Hao, but not because of his skill during the photo session, but because of his face that looked the same with a boy that he know so well.

But if I tell him that he looked like a person I know, I'm sure he will assume that I was trying to be close with him. Lyserg thought as he pose like he was scowling at Hao and Hao was glaring at him with their arms crossed, the theme for the photo shot was Punk Boys, so they need to show a tough expression.

"That's it!" Radim shout in triumph as he pressed the button to capture the scene, "Yup, we finished the day".

Hao and Lyserg sighed in relief when they heard that, they then looked at each other and chuckled together. "Good work." Hao said to the green boy.

"Good work." Lyserg said with a grin.

They then changed their clothes to the ones they wore when they came to the building, then Hao looked at the clock in the room, "I need to go home now, I have homework to do." He said before looking at Lyserg, "See you next time, Lyserg".

"See you next time." Lyserg answered with a nod of his head, "I also need to get back to my apartment".

Hao nodded at the boy before he walked to the door, again he need to run right away since a girl screaming at the sight of him coming out of a room. It would be troublesome if I need to run like this everyday, Hao thought with a sour laugh, I need to find a disguise then.
