“You look gorgeous,” Nino commented, swinging past Jun on his way to the kitchen.
Jun smiled despite his nerves. “Thanks!” he called out.
He checked himself in the mirror once more. His reflection smiled back at him. In a form-fitting lavender dress shirt and sleek black pants, he couldn’t deny that he did look gorgeous.
Jun had never felt so self-conscious before when dressing up for his photoshoots, but then again, his photoshoots never involved meeting up with someone who made his heart pound so intensely.
Aiba Masaki.
Jun unconsciously rubbed his stomach again, thinking back to how they had met.
Jun sat on a stool, rubbing his middle as he watched the technical crew set up for the next scene. He was never a morning person, so he’d woke up late and rushed out of the house without breakfast, and now his stomach was grumbling and starting to hurt. There was no conbini around, so he told himself he would have to put a brave face on it until lunch. After all, it wasn’t the first time...
“Hey, you okay?” Was it the voice of an angel? It certainly sounded like one. Jun looked up and found himself staring into a pair of warm brown eyes. They belonged to another model, Jun supposed, because the guy standing in front of him was certainly attractive enough to be one.
“Yes, I will be.” Jun tried to smile bravely, but it must have come out wrong, because the man’s expression became more concerned.
“Did you eat breakfast?”
Jun had wanted to lie and say yes, but out of nowhere his stomach gave a flip, and a weak “No” came tumbling out.
The man was already digging into his bag at the side. “Here, have some onigiri! My mum made too many again.” He offered the rice balls to Jun, together with a smile as warm as the sun. Jun was still reluctant to accept, but the man wouldn’t take no for an answer, insisting that it was his family’s special recipe and it would definitely make him feel better immediately.
“I can’t accept this without knowing who you are,” Jun finally tried.
“Aiba,” came the reply. “Aiba Masaki.”
“So, are you actually going somewhere, or trying on those socks for fun?” Nino’s voice brought Jun back to the present. Jun blushed as he realised he had been staring into space instead of wearing his shoes, while Nino watched in amusement. He fumbled a little, but somehow managed to get his shoes on.
“You’ll be fine. Go get him, tiger!” Nino smiled, pushing Jun out of the house. Jun gave the front door one last lingering look before setting off on his way.
~~~~~
As Jun walked, all the things he liked about Aiba ran through his mind. He loved watching the way Aiba walked, full of confidence yet without arrogance, not like the other models at all. When Aiba talked, his focused eyes made whoever he was talking to feel valued and listened to.
Aiba’s gentle expression and the innocence in his smile. The way he treated everyone with the same respect and cheerfulness, no matter how he was feeling on the inside.
All in all, Jun firmly believed that there wasn’t a better person than Aiba to be found. This made him all the happier when Aiba had, out of the blue, asked him to go out and have a meal together, outside of work.
Smiling to himself, Jun finally reached the street where they were to meet. As if in slow motion, he saw Aiba smile and nod to him from across the street, his colours brighter and more vivid than the surroundings.
A warm blanket of happiness enveloped the butterflies in Jun’s tummy and calmed them down as he watched Aiba walk toward him. Today’s date was going to be great.
