alexia__ Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 From his side view he could see Taikou fidgeting around. Something that had really helped Adam at the beginning had been the boy's shoulders. For some reason they would move around according to his mood, unlike the face, it would give off some hints. "How is your coffee?" he asked his eye on the computer screen "I put some vanilla flavoring and other stuff, I hope is fine, do you normally drink it like this?" The questions were simply, to a normal person, but he didn't know how the teen would take it. It wasn't because Taikou was incapable of answering, but because between the two these questions had never been passed. It might have been weird that the communication was so little but until that day Adam had never realized how little he knew of the model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 "I like vanilla" the teen managed to answer after a few minutes of rolling the the mug about in his hands thinking of a response. Taikou was feeling OK now but he was still a little concerned about not being able to come up with anything to talk about. The model took another sip of the coffee before he looked up again at his manager. He blinked a couple times and just stared at the other waiting for something to talk about. One major problem was that taikou did not understand that he could start up a conversation about the simplest of things and practically killed the mood for a quick talk about coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexia__ Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 "what do you think of the weather?" asked Adam now slightly lifting his eyes up. He remembered that they were soon entering the fall season and this caused quite the changes in everything, from clothing, to foods, even people. "people enjoy the upcoming winter seasons do you?" His hand reached for his own cup and he took a large sip of it while his eyes looked at the boy. Luckily for many people Adam was patient, and at time he wondered if he should have majored in physiology to help people with communication skills. Definitely being around Taikou made him think that.

WolfDog12 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 "I like snow, but it's cold," after giving a small shrug to the first question, Taikou was able to answer the second with a simple, child like response. After another moment of staring, he looked back at the window behind him and finally spoke without having to be asked another question, "we first met in the snow". After that, there was another long pause of silence while Taikou got lost in his own thoughts but he again regained himself and looked back at Adam once more.

alexia__ Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Saying that was an understatement, it was snowing like crazy the day the two had been introduced. He slightly smiled remembering his first impression of the boy. Back then Adam used to think that Taikou was very reserved, all dedicated to his work. Of course the boy is dedicated just simply reserved. "Yes we did, what did you think of me then?" he asked slightly curious at the answer. The fact that the two did not share much was obvious, but sitting like that caused Adam to begin wondering a few things about the teen.. that weren't exactly work related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Taikou looked up thinking for a while as he wondered what had been going through his mind at the moment the two met. "It was cold," he stated bluntly. "I was afraid you'd leave like the others." Taikou was actually out of breath now from talking more then usual. It was amazing someone could say a couple sentences and get winded. The teen looked back at his longest lasting manager. He had 'the patients of a god' according to Taikou's father. And his father would undestand that better then anyone else. The teen was then hoping his manager would tell what his first impression of Taikou was without him having to ask out loud.

alexia__ Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He laughed brightly remembering that day "yes.. yes it was" he said between chuckles. That day he was heavily coated and almost every building was under snow. "well" said Adam taking another sip if the coffee "I know better than to leave a work half way done" he smiles at the other with a small pride full look. Before he moved back to Japan Adam had worked with a large variety of models and singers in France, all were quite popular much like Taikou so he quickly learned to get the best deals and jobs. "I thought that..." he paused slightly "you looked like a doll, your cheeks and nose were so pink it looked very cute" while saying this Adam looked down not daring to look at Taikou. "And by the look in your face, I though it might have a hard time with you" pauses " but everything was fine so I was quite happy" The room goes quiet and he slightly bushed, he had never admitted to anyone that actually idolized Taikou's looks, he indeed was quite attractive.

WolfDog12 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 "That was because of how cold it was," Taikou stated without really reading the mood. He was blunt and rather straight forward for someone who didn't talk much and it was because of how hard it was for him to read the mood of things. He was simply focused on giving an explanation as to why his cheeks and nose had been pink that day. The teen just stared confused at his manager across from him. A random memory had popped into Taikou's mind about the day they met. For some reason, Taikou's old manager was so keen on getting rid of this emotionless kid, he had just dropped the teen off a block away from the agency before turning and driving away. That man was always creeped out by Taikou and hated not knowing what was on his mind. His old manager had been so paranoid that he thought the teen was full of malicious thoughts. The teen had to start walking as soon as possible and he really wasn't too thrilled about it since the snow was getting worse by the second. It may have been a block but Taikou had to tread through 2 feet of un treated snow with the amount of snow coming down and the power of the winds both increasing. Taikou managed to get a few hundred feet before he was picked up by a male also heading to the agency. The man that picked Taikou up was a new person to this particular agency and had been assigned, already, to one of the top models. The catch was having to deal with that model since he barely talked and showed no emotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexia__ Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 "w-would seem so" said Adam a bit disappointed. In general feeling like this had always been ridiculous, at time to time Adam would compliment the teen but it was brushed away due to the other's naive thinking or perhaps his choice to ignore. It was never returned with a blush or a thank you like he had always imagined. Soon he finished typing away and the printed in the far end began to print, Adam stood up and retrieved the papers "here" he told the boy as he gave them to him "its your schedule for the next three months" the coffee on Adam's cup was now gone "you have a week of freedom in November and three days off in December, around Christmas time" he adds Slightly blushing and looking away Adam asks "do you have anything planned for that yet?"

WolfDog12 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Taikou was still sipping at his coffee when the papers were handed to him. He looked them over a bit seeing just how busy he was. It was amazing he had a week off. He was truly happy about it even if his face didn't show it. The model then lifted his head to respond to his manager: "My parents are going away for Christmas but I can't travel with them... so no..." Taikou knew the three days weren't enough for him to go with his family so he just planned on staying home alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexia__ Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Adam eyes shot up and landed on the boy's face, nothing was shown even though the way he said it had a tone of melancholia in it "You're sad about it, right why don't you show it" he told the other trying to see how one could begin to get emotions out. The older male knew it was not because of his parents, mainly the schedule but if it was this way he felt kind of bad the boy was still at the peak of his teens and mainly he only worked, not to mention the lack of expressions probably cut all ties of making friends or even getting a girlfriend. Adam gulped after thinking this, getting slightly agitated 'If he had friends or girlfriend then what about me?' he asked himself before snapping from his thoughts. Quickly he dismissed it, the small jealousy that had built for over a millisecond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 The whole time Adam was thinking about things himself, Taikou was trying to show some kind of facial expression. His shoulders moved a bit but by the time he turned back to Adam, Taikou looked completely neutral. He really couldn't move his facial muscles at all. Taikou could tell adam was concerned about something and he got up and reached out his hand. The teen had only a vague idea of what he was doing but he wanted to try and show he wanted to spend the holidays with Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexia__ Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 He was brought back by a hand wrapping around in his. His eyes turned to look at a pale but pink flushed face "Y-yes?" he asked Taikou who was looking at him with what Adam could call a worried expression. They remained like this, the older man taking in every asked of the boy's features engulfing himself with the beautify of his face and the soft texture that appeared to be his hair. Smiling he squishes the boy's hand and tilts his head a little. "tell me what's on your mind?" he asks trying to keep a bit more of the conversation flowing. Even at times Adam,no matter how long he'd been with Taikou, could read the boy's face. It was indeed difficult and at time he wished madly that Taikou was a bit more talkative.

WolfDog12 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Taikou tried to figure out how to get his message across. He quickly became flustered and squirmed about for a while. Eventually he couldn't say it and he walked away. His ears were red as he turned away and Taikou began to gather his things so he could go home. The teen hated that he couldn't bring himself to ask a simple question and he finished gathering his things before finishing off the coffee. The model bowed and picked up his things to leave. His head was down and he refused to look Adam in the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexia__ Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 The blush was obvious, far too obvious, more obvious than anything that Taikou ever let show. Quickly Adam stood from his chair, his breath coming in surprised gasps his face blushing. Adam heart came in fast beats causing mad reactions to occur all over his chest. "Ta-taikou" he called before reaching for the boy's hand. The fingers of the smaller boy felt warm against his own and his eyes were widen Adam's blushed. Adam could not do anything but stare at the boy's face "s-sorry" he said before releasing the other's hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Taikou froze as he was called out to and even a little surprised his manager used his first name but he then figured that was probably normal after how long they'd been together. His eyes fell on their interlocking fingers. He wondered what his manager wanted but when he pulled away, the teen looked up at him and tilted his head. 'I don't get it, what does he want to say... I thought he didn't have any issues talking to me. I just don't understand' The teen continued to think to himself. He stood there for a long time before he realized his legs were moving before his mind. The model had begun wandering down the hall and suddenly slipped down the stairs because he wasn't paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexia__ Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 His eyes looked down and before he could the boy has slipped away. Adam sighed and began to walk towards his desk when piercing scream came from the hallway. Startled he hurried out of his office to see a few people running towards the stair area. Alarmed he to followed the other people and came face to face with Taikou. His eyes widened at the sight and pushed passed people to get to the boy. "are you okay?" asked Adam breathless. His arms wrapped around the boy's back and the other around his legs. Taikou was carried wedding style, Adam's eyes looked at every last section of the boy and then his face. "everything okay?" he asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Taikou was a little out of it at first but he seemed alright. He started back at his manager and instinctively his hand reached up to his forehead where there was a tiny bruise on it up near his hair line. It had been well covered by his hair so Adam wouldn't have noticed it at first. The teen wasn't too concerned about it and simply stared back. The real problem came when he tried to stand up again. The model had twisted his ankle when he slipped. There was nothing broken but he had twisted it pretty badly and that made it difficult to walk. Taikou fell back down where he was sitting and placed his hands on his ankle. "It hurts." He stated as he carefully rubbed the swelling ankle.

alexia__ Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 His eyes moved from the ankle to Taikou's face, worry showing in every inch of Adam's face. Making his way through the people around he continues to walk down the stairs and once in the car he softly places Taikou in the chair. Internally Adam felt responsible for what had happened, his insides felt crunched and heavy. Unable to speak he drove off to the hospital, from the side he could see the purple color that was now the boy's leg. The doctor took care of the rest efficiently and now Taikou and Adam sat across from each other waiting for the discharge. His eyes set on the floor and his hands set on his forehead. In Adam's head a cloud of terror was exploding. Without Taikou work would not get done, and if work was not done then popularity levels could either decrease or.... His eyes landed on the boy's face and then back to the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Taikou looked down at the discolored ankle. It was incredibly painful but he didn't show the pain on his face. He also didn't protest a single bit about having to be lifted and moved around. Taikou was quickly moved to where the doctor could check for breaks and put a cold compress on it. It was wrapped up and Taikou was sitting across from his clearly distressed manager and waiting to be discharged. The teen refused to let this stop or hinder his work and he reached forward having to put pressure on the injury so he could place his hand on Adam's. The teen tried to get Adam to not worry so much and to not believe it was his fault. It really was Taikou's fault for being a complete space case.

alexia__ Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 "This is terrible" he tells the teen his eyes now closed. Adam being who he was, would not let the boy work until he was fully recovered. In general Taikou looked so fragile that the wound made it worse. Sighing he moved his head and filled his vision with the others eyes. "No work due to this, but I will come up with a way to still keep you in the game" many times had Adam seen models and small actors get dismissed for lack of popularity or losing it, his stubborn side would never allow for such thing to occur to Taikou. 'Think dammit! You're the best in the game' he told himself as his head shuffled for a plan. His hand reached up and rested on the boys small shoulder. He gave a confident smile and assured the that everything was to go smoothly. They soon were dismissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Taikou now felt horrible. He wasn't planning on listening since he still had his schedule with him but he still felt bad for even making his manager have to tell him that they weren't going to be doing any of their work. The teen was really distressed because he was aware that it was his own fault because he was always so spacey and had been told a hundred times over to get his pretty head out of the clouds and focus on the real world. He still couldn't help but space out. Taikou Got up when they were discharged and he tried to walk on his own. The doctors debated giving him his own crutches and before they left, Taikou was brought back and fitted with some. It only took about five minutes to get him some and give some basic instructions on using them properly. The model followed after his manager as quickly as he could. He kept his eyes for the most part down but just high enough to see where Adam was going. The doctors probably weren't going to give him crutches but they knew he was a model and probably required more movement then the average person.

alexia__ Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 He helped the teen settle into the front seat,tie the seat belt around him and places the crutches on the back. "I feel terrible for taking you home like this" says Adam as he begins to drive. In general he had never meet the teens parents, he assumed they were quite nice and responsible but still he could not feel ashamed for not taking care of their precious son. His eyes remained on the road and ever so often he would look at the other. According to the doctors the sprain was quite small and barely much to worry about, yet the recovery time was a good 4-6 weeks and at the moment Adam was praying for 4. They came to a red light and Adam rested his face in his left hand, his vision dragging to a large glass window fuilled with magazines. His eyes widened and a large smile spread through his lips "I got it!" He screamed in happiness and relief a small tear running down his cheek. He could feel the stress leaving him by the second. His face turned to look at Taikou a bright smile on his lips. His right hand reached for the boys smaller one and a kiss was places on it "I've never been so thankful for this lovely face of yours" said Adam. Soon the car begins to move but the smile does not leave his face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 "My parents aren't home tonight, they went on vacation for the week." Taikou knew at least that his manager was worried about how his parents would react but at least this just meant that he had a week to think about the best way to explain it. The model looked over at Adam then back to looking straight forwards again. When Adam suddenly became so happy, Taikou froze for a moment before looking at the larger male as he placed a kiss in Taikou's hand. The model stared for a moment and tilted his head wanting to know what was going through Adam's head. This was actually concerning Taikou more then he thought it would. He really had no idea what was going through Adam's head and why he was excited enough to kiss the smaller boy's hand. What was so exciting about Taikou's face or at least what was important about it being a nice face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexia__ Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The car came to a stop in the empty road, hitting reverse Adam back a bit and performed a U-turn before going back "well then, I'm not leaving you like that in an empty house" he said as he drove towards the downtown area. His head was running with ideas of what he could use Taikou for. One thing the charts showed was the teens popularity with high school and some college girls. And for what the magazine reviews showed they simply adored his "doll like face". A wicked smiled spread across Adam's mouth as he imagined the amount of fan based books they could print with super cute pictures of Taikou in bunny ears, cat ear, surrounded by candy, and all that girly crap girls loved. "you're going to hate me" he chuckled as all the pink colored back grounds and lovely polka dotted bows came to his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
