Vincent Hugue (24)

 

 

Vincent Hugue or also known as Vin is a professional model that works at Japan. He's half-Brazilian and half-Japanese. His name and gorgeous images was always spotted anywhere across Japan. Hugue's notorious for being a lady-killer of some sort which is most-likely false. He looks mature on the limelight but pretty much childish when alone. He has low self-esteem and hates being stared at. Yet only few of the crowd knows behind the mask of the great Vincent Hugue...

 

Vincent's a huge fan of sweets. He's fond of playing online games and watching anime shows--an otaku at heart.

Alexander (Lex) Freemen (28)

 

Alexander Freemen or Lex for short works at a top notch modeling agency as a top and well known photographer, he has been working for the place for almost six years now. Born and raised in America, Lex had a knack for photography. When he was given the chance to study abroad in Japan he just couldn't say no to that! He is a type of man who catch's people's attention with his natural silvery white hair and red eyes. He is known through out Japan as being a genius when it came to his photographs of models.

 

Lex does however have a few qualities that some people are put off by, first off he is attracted to pretty things and people. That's what made him go into this line of work. Was to see all of the beauties that Japan had to offer. Second, he was the biggest pervert. He may not look like it but he is, always saying things to the models that would make them get flustered.

 

But all in all he was great with a camera, he enjoys it because it is a different form of art.

 

 

Alexander Freemen otherwise known as Lex around the agency was setting up his tripod and adjusting the lens on his camera. Today he was suppose to take photo's of some male model. He sighed softly while racking his finger's through his pale colored hair.

 

At least he hoped this new guy was attractive, with that thought in mind he smirked in a mischievous kind of way. If that was the case then-- he was going to have a fantastic day. Once he was done adjusting the settings on his camera he walked around it towards the scenery, making sure that nothing was out of place.

 

He crouched down on his hunches just to inspect the floor- a wire was out of place. That caused his delicate light colored eyebrow to twitch in a very annoyed fashion. Lex has some serious OCD when it came to keeping every thing clean and tidy. Grabbing the out of place wire he placed it back where it belonged.

 

With a satisfied sigh he stood up and dusted off his black slacks. As he was standing up right once more he smoothed out his black vest and rolled his white sleeves up to his elbows. Checking his watch that was now revealed caused him to sigh once more. The guy was late.

[gin]

He didn't felt that apologetic arriving at the said venue that late. He's schedule was tightly packed and he couldn't blame his secretary for the further delay too. He stood behind his manager who was conversing with the guy who was crouching and fixing some stuff. He stood there and wait whenever the photographer was ready.

 

The staff, like the usual, was staring at him like he's some kind of a sculpture. He turned his head away from the crowd. He could still see people hesitating and wanting to approach him. "ah seriously..." He mumbled to himself while covering the discomfort that was plastered all over his face. Thankfully, he needed to be dressed. The blond was immediately guided to the dressing room. It was a Gothic outfit, black leather boots and a black coat with jewels embedded on its center. It's as if he turned into a vampire himself since he had a sharp canine with him and long nails.

 

He pulled some fake smile to the one watching all-over him since his arrival and then to the photographer who's somewhat catching a glimpse of him.

 

--Hurry , I still need to finish COD this evening... He thought of himself , craving to finish the game that badly. He silently cursed the photographer for taking so long to start.

[yin_yang_lover]

The pale haired male was surprised to see a very attractive guy standing there in position already. He just gave the male a light smile before walking over towards his camera. Once he was behind it he took a picture of the pose a few times.

 

"Alright now look like you're in some sort of pain..." He said in his deep baritone voice, the guy was amazingly good looking. His earlier irritation was now gone- he could tell just by looking through his camera how fake the guy's smile was. How can he tell the difference? Well he was a very observant man and could read people's emotion's quite easily.

 

It was, after all- in his nature to know these kinds of things. Also that's what makes him a fantastic photographer. "After you drop that fake smile of yours I want you to look like you're in pain... Not the fake kind but the real kind!" He chuckled softly at his own words. Sometimes he cracks himself up.

[gin]

"After you drop that fake smile of yours I want you to look like you're in pain... Not the fake kind but the real kind!"

 

Vincent flinched as to what in the world the photographer was talking about. He was a bit surprised on how he figured out that fake smile of his so easily. Since its just the two of them in the area while the staffs were few meters away, he immediately drop the act. For the first time in his life, someone had discovered that thing aside from his parents. Was his acting kind of bad? or is it because the other man's a photographer? He can view him rather closely with his viewfinder.

 

--pain expression... He furrowed his brows and looked pained, he stared at the camera right away. He placed his hands on his chest and squeezed it, acting like he was in some sort of ache. The photographer started some shots of him with different expressions while his mind was off wandering about buying the latest games. Though he doesn't looked like he's not in focus, he hoped that the photographer won't notice and scold him. He just can't help thinking about the game since that was the last photoshoot for the day and it's his playtime afterwards.

 

[yin_yang_lover]

Unfortunately for the model- Lex did in fact notice his unfocused gaze which caused him to frown. The guy maybe attractive, but one thing he hated about people is how unfocused they look when he is trying to make the photo's look more real instead of fake.

 

He pulled away from his camera and strutted up to the male and snapped his finger's in front of his face trying to get him to focus.

 

"Look, you maybe able to get away with being unfocused with other photographer's because you're cute, but cute or not I need people who focus... Also... Do that again and I might have to do something... That you won't like is that clear?" He sounded irritated at first but soon after that he sounded like he was hinting at something or another.

 

One of his pale hands was resting on his hips looking the male over- not really hiding the fact that he was openly checking him out.

[gin]

He in fact was starting to get pissed but couldn't show it. It was his first time to encounter such a demanding photographer. Who in the hell did hire him anyway? He could just drop the contract but he don't want to leave bad impressions behind so he endured it. He just couldn't help not to think of going home despite two days of working his ass off. The blonde didn't reply to the photographer, he just stared at the viewfinder instead. He was accumulating all these 'focus' the other one speak of and continued to pose the way the photographer wanted to.

 

Do something that he doesn't like? Vincent wondered as to what the photographer was deliberately talking about. Talking about a dense character here, Vincent should know what the other was talking about.

 

--stop staring... He noticed that the photographer was looking at him from head to toe. He hated that feisty look of his so he pretended to neglect it. He's starting to question the photographer's sexual orientation by now. Such a waste for him being gay despite his handsome face. How he wished it would just be over.

 

[yin_yang_lover]

The photographer sighed softly before looking away, he could tell just by the way the model stiffened when he was staring at him for too long. Jeez- what kind of model doesn't want to be stared at?

 

He pondered slightly to himself- he turned around and rubbed the back of his neck. Lex walked back over towards his camera and went back to taking a few more pictures. After he had taken the final picture for the day, he stood up right and gave the other a fake smile of his own.

 

"Okay well, that's it for today... Oh and before I forget, you're manager is wanting you to swing on by at nine am for the spring shoot." He said while adjusting the lens again, he had another model coming in after the blond so he had to place everything back for the gothic photo shoot.

[gin]

"Thank you for the hard work," his manager bowed at the young photographer. He heard that he's quite famous because of his good shots. Vincent thought of seeing these shots himself but he was in a hurry and couldn't stay a little longer. The photographer said that he had a shoot for tomorrow and he just nodded in response.

 

"Good job," he said in a low tone. Though the photographer was a little demanding, he's skilled at finding the best expressions. He was also a professional so he tried to erase the bitterness between them, nothing personal. It was Vincent's fault in the first place for not focusing.

 

His manager bid him a farewell and they both parted ways. He wore the usual tattered clothes, a cap and a glasses for him not to be recognized. "I'll be damned if they know that behind those clothes it's the Vincent Hugue-sama." His manager laugh as she walked away from Vincent. "Sanae-san...really..." he whined and bowed to his manager. After taking a thirty minute ride, he immediately arrived at Akihabara. There he was loitering around searching for a good game--joining the huge crowd, unnoticed.

 

[yin_yang_lover]

After the the blond had left the white haired man sighed a breath of relief, he had to have been one of his most challenging models to work with. Just as he had thought this his next appointment came walking in dressed in a pink and black lolita dress that went up to the girl's knees.

 

Lex looked over at the girl who was looking at him with a seductive smile on her beautiful face. "You're Freemen-san correct?" She asked while walking into the room making sure her hips swayed from side to side in a sexual fashion. The light colored haired male of course watched her every move closely and this woman knew it.

 

"Why yes, that is me." He said with a slightly wolfish grin on his handsome face. She giggled lightly at that and stood before the camera. "I'm glad I get to work with the Alexander Freemen-san!"

 

He chuckled lightly at her praise- so he has became famous after a while huh? Well if that didn't add to his ego he wasn't sure what would. "Okay, enough talking now... Now give me something sexy..."

[gin]

He decided to go to the arcade center where he always frequent. He wanted to play Dance Dance Revolution with some random guy. Since it's usual at an arcade shop to challenge who's the best. Crowd gathered yet none recognized him from his guise. At his mature age, he should be dating one of the finest ladies but he chose the game over some ladies. Indeed, he had such weird preferences.

 

He placed his knapsack on the ground and landed into the pad. He did compete with strangers and won consecutively. After nine rounds he stopped and went to another store. He went to a manga shop and then to the game shop, buying stuffs. But before going home, he went to a family restaurant to grab a piece of dinner.

 

Vincent rarely eats at fast foods since he's to maintain his body weight and his complexion. He plays games till' ten since he needs to sleep early to refrain having eyebags. He had a strict healthy living when his managers around. But as of the moment that she isn't around, he needs to eat without worry for the calories.

 

"Two piece chicken with extra rice, a large fries and 2 sundaes..." he ordered while looking all-over the menu. It's been awhile since he had eaten these kind of foods. He sat at the place where outside can be seen. He started to eat and noticed his huge billboard plastered atop a building. He felt strange seeing himself so he strayed his eyes to the crowd.

[yin_yang_lover]

By the time the photographer was done taking pictures it was already going on six o' clock at night, he stretched out his back before smiling softly at the two models before him. It was a couples shoot that he had to do after the young lady left.

 

"Alright you two did beautifully today... Now remember I'll see you both in two weeks for another shoot alright?"

 

The light colored haired male said to the two very attractive and lovely brunettes. Both man and woman nodded their head- they both bowed to him thanking him for being their new photographer-- since their old one upped and left.

 

"Take care Freeman-san..." The brunette haired woman said before waving goodbye to him and dragging her partner out of the room they were in.

 

Lex laughed lightly-- feeling slightly bad and envious of how the woman was man handling her partner. He shook his head and went around the room to start packing his belongings up. Once everything was packed and in the right place, he left turning off the light and walked down the long hallway.

 

He passed by a few people who were praising him left and right. It made him feel very good about himself and it added to his already large ego.

 

"See ya tomorrow!"

 

He waved at one of the other photographers before stepping outside-- he inhaled the crisp evening air. Enjoying the slightly cool air invade his lungs.

 

Today sure was an interesting day... His abnormal red eyes glanced over towards a billboard quite proud to see a photo he had taken for a skin cream company. Oh yes he was doing just fine for himself.

[gin]

While he was eating his sumptuous meal inside a fast-food, his cellphone began to ring repeatedly.

 

"Hello, manager..." He said in monotone.

"Vincent, please empty your appointments and schedules on the next week," she stated.

"Why!?" His stone suddenly changed drastically, he was planning to rest for that week.

"The Caribbean cruise, the fashion line from Paris invited you to a party inside a cruise ship together with the famous icons."

"Wai-- what!? Can you please cancel that, Sanae-san!?" He pleaded, while munching some fries.

"No can do, besides your attendance is a must, Vincent..." she explained in a rushed voice.

".....tch" he clicked his tongue unconsciously.

"Oi, oi don't give me that! And are you eating in a fast food chain, huh!?" his manager suspiciously asked.

"crap. I'll think about it, gotta go.." he immediately hang up before Sanae could start her usual ceremony of scolding him.

 

Vincent was in a daze. He suddenly remembered the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. He asked himself as to what purpose do the staff wanted, suddenly venturing on the seas of Caribbean. He wanted to decline but it might be a let down since the sea's so good in there. Vincent leaned on the chair, sighing. He's somewhat excited about the Caribbean escapade since it's his first time. He gave a slight gulp as he remember there will be huge crowds of elite people in that cruise. Will he be able to fit in? Though that isn't a question of a famous model but a question of a commoner. He might think this thoroughly before accepting it.

[yin_yang_lover]

The light haired colored haired photographer was whistling a small tune while walking over towards his 2013 Silver Cobra, which has turned quite a few heads due to it's foreign nature. He popped the trunk and placed his equipment inside the back gently so that he wouldn't end up breaking anything.

 

As soon as he had placed the last brief case inside the back of his car-- his cellphone started to ring in an upbeat techno sound. The sound that echoed slightly through the parking garage caused Alexander to jump. His heart was hammering inside of his chest before he reached into his back pocket and took out his touch screen phone.

 

Glancing down at the number he couldn't help but sigh. Now what? He thought bitterly as he decided to whether or not to answer the call.

 

But he didn't want to get in trouble with the higher ups so he decided on to answer the call. Sliding his finger across the green colored area he placed a head set in his ear while placing the phone back inside of his pocket but in the front this time.

 

He then placed his hand on the trunk and closed it shut, after a few minutes he walked around to the front and got in side of his car listening to his boss going on and on about how well he was doing for himself until his next words caught him off guard.

 

"Uh... Come again Himiko-san?"

 

His voice was laced in clear confusion but with an edge of excitement. He buckled up his seat belt and pulled out of the parking garage.

 

"You heard me Freemen-kun... You are coming along on the cruise since you are our top photographer and plus the others want to see and meet the famous Freemen Alexander~"

 

He heard the woman giggle in his ear which in turn caused him to sigh but smile softly. So the beauties of the modeling world want to meet him huh? A sly smirk crossed over his lips as he stopped at a stop light. There was no question about it! Today was the best day that he had by far!

 

"I'll love to come along~"

 

"Great! I'll hand you- you're ticket tomorrow when you come in!"

 

"Sounds like a plan..."

 

He heard her say goodbye which he said so in favor, the sound of the line going dead was heard for a few minutes before it stopped. Lex smiled brightly; his life was great.

[gin]

He appeared a bit edgy and full of doubt when he arrived at his manager's office. The lady, Sanae, handed him immediately the tickets and the invitation card for the cruise without hearing his explanations. He gave an unnerving smile to Sanae which he kept on cursing on his brain as of the moment. Crossing his legs on the couch, he stared at the tickets. He listened to Sanae's instructions as to what his function would be inside the cruise ship. Sanae escorted him home after their meeting.

 

 

It's a matter of time, and it's the last day of the week. The model packed a little of his things. He even brought with him his console so he wouldn't get bored when he's on his room since it's a one week trip he thought. He went outside his unit dragging with him his suitcase. He wore a white formal pants and topped with a turtle neck under a European suit. Ready to go, he immediately went to the port where the Cruise was staying for awhile.

 

7:00 p.m on the evening, Vincent arrived at the port. His eyes wide-open as he saw a huge cruise ship staying at the docks. Its wideness almost covered the whole of Pier One. The young man immediately climbed the metal stairs and entered the ship. The security was heavy, there were lots of bodyguards inside and one of them took hold of Vincent's luggage. Vincent showed his ticket and his invitation card at the bodyguard, he was then allowed to enter afterwards.

 

Ushered to his room, Vincent was looking at the beautiful walls of the hall. It really didn't looked like a ship at all! Its interiors were mostly influenced by European style. There were varieties of renaissance painting hanging on the wall that seemed to be expensive. Some of the guests, noticed him and gave their regards. Vincent couldn't even land on his room since he was suddenly bombarded by some political people and other important guest. He just let the usherette deliver the suitcase first to his room, which in return nodded promptly. "Vincent Hugue, I really wanted to see you!!! You look so gorgeous," A woman at her forties embraced Vincent. She was one of the famous designers in Paris, Adelaide Barrineau. Vincent immediately smiled at her and started to converse. He was shocked, even the foreign people knew him, had the media of Japan affected foreign countries? He was dragged by the ladies to sit on the couch of Hall Two , where a classy restaurant was located.
