The Pictures

Ezekiel-" And we're taking pictures together?"

Mika-" Well duh"

(Ezekiel turns)

Ezekiel-" Wouldn't that be weird? It's only my first time modeling"

Botan-" Hold up. You're telling me you've never modeled before?"

Ezekiel-" Nope. I was forced into this"

Botan-" You're gorgeous but do you even know what you're doing?"

Ezekiel-" I'm a photographer myself so I guess I know what they'll want me to do cause I know the struggle. If I photograph people, I sometimes have to do the poses to show them what to do"

(Mike clears her throat which catches Botans attention first then Ezekiels. She made a face at Botan before Ezekiel turned and Botan went back to doing his makeup)

Mika-" Like I was SAYING, you're just not gonna have your shirt for some pictures"

Ezekiel-" I mean... ok I guess"

Mika-" Do you have a problem with it? You're an adult so you shouldn't need permission or something to do it"

Ezekiel-" I'm fine"

(After an hour or so, Mika's hair was done and was now curly. Ezekiel's makeup was done similarly, just sea-green, and his hair was curled too. Mika wore a white and flowy medieval dress and Ezekiel wore flowy white pants)

Kano-" Ok people! Let's get started!"

(Mika leans over to cross-armed Ezekiel and whispers to him)

Mika-" That's Kano. He's our photographer. Trust me, though he looks crazy with all his colors EVERYWHERE, he's one of the best in Asia"

(Mika then looks down at Ezekiel's torso)

Mika-" You look good"

(Ezekiel looks over at Mika, hinting at something he had already told her)

Mika-" What? I can't say you have a good body? That girl of yours should be fine with it"

(Mika tilts back to her normal standing)

Kano-" OK! You guys are twins having a picnic out in the flower patch in the forest! I need you two to lay down on the ground in the little patch of flowers. They should be surrounding you fully. Maybe put a bit on your body, Ezekiel"

(Ezekiel and Mika lay down in a way where they were laying opposite ways of each other. They turn their faces towards each other and they look at each other while they pose. Employees place fake but real-looking insects like butterflies and ladybugs)

Kano-" Good Ezekiel! Stay right in the pose. Mika, turn your head a little up so we see your face and it's not hidden in the flowers"

(Mika does what he asks)

Kano-" Also put your right hand on your torso and bend your left leg a bit more"

(Again she does what he asks, a bit annoyed that she needed to fix herself and Ezekiel didn't and he was new to this whole modeling thing)

Kano-" Perfect!"

(Kano makes a few pictures with them like that. Others were taken afterward. Mika looking cross-eyed up at a butterfly on her nose. Ezekiel looking sideways at a light bluebird. The two of them sitting next to each other, tilting their heads slightly like clueless dogs. Many other photos were taken but those four were the ones that were to be used in things, including social media. DING! While walking to her dorm, Nori gets a notification)

Nori-" OH! The pictures Ezekiel was taking. Totally forgot about those"

(Nori opens the Graminsta post and looks at the pictures)

Nori-" Woah. He's freakishly good for being new to this stuff. Wait! That's Mika Yuno! Omg, does Lynnon know he was modeling with her? I better text her them"

(WOOSH! While drawing, Lynnon gets a notification. Her phone vibrates on the desk. She picks it up and looks at the pictures)

Lynnon-" Oh. I didn't know he was modeling with another person. She's pretty"

(Lynnon swipes through the photos and gets to the phone where Ezekiel was alone and holding a bird. She softly smiles)

Lynnon-" I told him he would be good at modeling"

(A few hours later, Lynnon hears the door unlock and eventually open and close)

Ezekiel-" I'm home!"

Lynnon-" Hey!"

(Ezekiel walks to the studio and eventually the desk. He leans down to give Lynnon a kiss. Afterward, Lynnon goes back to drawing)

Lynnon-" I saw your pictures. They were good"

(Ezekiel nervously chuckles)

Ezekiel-" It's a bit embarrassing"

(Then Lynnon turns the chair towards him and looks at him annoyed and serious)

Lynnon-" Just kind of wish you'd tell me you were gonna be modeling with someone else while you were half-naked. Especially a woman"

(Ezekiel makes un inexplainable expression)

Ezekiel-" I swear, I had no idea I wasn't gonna wear a shirt"

(A few seconds go by and Lynnon lets out a silent snort and smile)

Lynnon-" I was joking"

(She turns back to the desk)

Ezekiel-" Wait, so you really don't care?"

Lynnon-" No... Unless something else is actually happening here"

(Lynnon turns her head towards him, serious this time)

Ezekiel-" Hell no. You shouldn't have to worry about stuff like that"

(Ezekiel bends down, picks Lynnon up, and walks them to the couch. He has Lynnon sit on his lap. He cuffs her face and makes eye contact with her)

Ezekiel-" I would never EVER break your heart like that. I never want to break your heart period. I don't want you to ever think I'm cheating on you just because I'm working with a female"

(Lynnon glances away)

Lynnon-" I wasn't. Just wanted to make sure..."

Ezekiel-" Oh bear..."

(Ezekiel pulls her in and kisses her cheek. Then again. Then again. Then again. It makes her smile)

Lynnon-" Ok ok. I believe you~"

(Lynnon runs her fingers through Ezekiel's still curly hair. She giggles)

Lynnon-" You're like a fluffy cow"

(Ezekiel makes a cute but grumpy face that only makes Lynnon giggle more)
