Izana's Precious Twin

Part Timers

7 long years passed for Izana and Izumi. Kakucho moved in with them permanently and they had a family in Japan. Manjiro was cordial to the twins and nothing more. None of his friends knew about his newfound siblings.

They were 12 years old now. Gramps put himself down as the twins' legal guardian and let them continue living in the penthouse as long as they promised to visit him a lot he smiled. They promised of course. Emma and Izumi got along quite well since they were often alone together.

Shinichiro worked at his shop and Manjiro had his gang.

Which is how both got part time jobs as models. Emma overheard some girls talking about a modeling agency that needed some younger people for a promotional of a new chai clothing store opening exclusively in malls. It was all legitimate and plenty of parents auditioned their kids for a spot.

The pay was done by number of shoots, events, and some had the chance to receive a percentage of sales from an item they modeled. If you were popular enough that is.

Shinichiro took them to the auditions and interviews at an office building. Funnily enough, the staff thought it was him who was trying for a spot and not the kids with him. 

The process took a total of five hours before the remaining kids exited. Emma was beaming as she dragged Izuku towards Shinichiro.

"We made it! The director said he'll put us under a manager in here in Shibuya and we start tomorrow!"

She squealed with excitement. He smiled and patted both their heads.

"That's awesome! To celebrate you two get to pick whatever you want for dinner!"

His wallet regretted that decision. But it was worth it seeing their happy faces. That night they feasted on curry noodles, chicken alfredo, and haagan dazs. Shinichiro gave Izana all the left overs and ice cream into a cooler and sent them on their way.

For the photoshoot, it was after school and one of the parents of someone in their group offered to carpool to the agency. Izumi forgot her name but remembered to thank the dad for taking them.

The chain would sell a variety of clothing styles including beachwear and pajamas. Today would be the casual and maybe the beach if it wasn't too cold. There was a black haired woman with silver highlights in a ponytail and skeleton earrings. Her pantsuit was a strange item to pair with but rules are rules. 

She held a tablet and directed the kids with adults who would be photographing them. She waved and walked over.

"Hey you two! Names please!"

"Izumi."

"Emma!"

"Alriiiiight, how about you two go together with Akira over there with the glasses?"

Akira was a young man with black hair and brown eyes carrying his camera and adjusting his glasses. It seemed as though no one else would be joining them.

Emma was given a shoe box and folded clothes before going into a changing room. He gave Izuku the same and he found a vacant room to change. 

He had a pair of blue high tops with a white strip on each side and a baby blue button up that ties up at the bottom. And to finish it off a high waisted white pleated skirt with a zipper on the side. He suspected Emma was behind the feminine outfit.

"You look so cute Izumi!"

"Emmaaaa! This is embarrassing! Making me wear girl's clothes."

He folded his arms and looked away pouting. Akira praised how good he looked in them and he felt his face warm up. Akira led them towards a cat café for the shots. He had a feeling the two thrived better in a natural environment instead of staging a scene.

The cafe's owners, a sweet elderly couple were more than happy to have them there and allowed him to take photos of Emma and Izumi. Regular customers wouldn't be in focus so they would blur into the background if necessary. 

Izumi's eyes lit up seeing all the cats on posts or interacting with people. He beelined for one sitting by itself on a plush carpet and kneeled down, tentatively touching its head. It was an adorable black cat with green eyes and whiskers twitching from the sensation.

It meowed and licked his hand allowing him to stroke its back. Izumi loved how soft the cat's fur was and let his mind blank out while stroking it with a care in the world. The cat would purr occasionally allowing him to relax and de stress.

Emma had several cats around her which she happily played with. Akira did his thing and came away with plenty of usable images for the manager. They stayed for about 2 hours and headed towards a couple other places then returning to the studio to use some sets they prepared.

It was time to go and they bid Akira and the manager lady goodbye. Mikey came by but only had room for one so Emma left and Izumi waited for Izana to come get him. Instead, Kakucho came since he had a motorcycle but Izana had a bicycle.

"Thanks for getting me Kachan."

"Always Izumi. Hop on!"

Hid backpack seemed fuller than when he left. That is because the models are allowed to keep the clothes.

And so the two rode off into the sunset on a motorcycle and not a horse. (Why am I leaving this in.) 

Kakucho moved in with the twins seven years ago and it was the best decision he ever made. He got to be with his best friend everyday and had a safe place to sleep. The director listened to his explanation and agreed it would benefit Kakucho better in the long run. He had an extremely slim chance of getting adopted but he most likely would have aged out and been homeless.

Izana and Izumi welcomed him with food and his own room. He integrated easily into them and the three boys were happy to be together. He observed how responsible Izana seemed at taking care of his brother and him.

Dishes were washed and dried. Clothes got tossed into the washer and came out the dryer warm and clean. He once came back early and saw Izana dusting and vacuuming simultaneously. The ultimate house husband.
