I Kissed a Boy [complet]

Stress and "Drugs"

York's falsely annoyed gaze on him, Gavin tried not to move. The gestures of the make-up artist were precise. He whispered so that only Gavin could hear him.

— Honestly, you could have avoided that! look at this! you're lucky I'm a genius. And that blurred complexion! how many hours of sleep to make me bags so dark under your pretty eyes?

Gavin didn't know what to say. He and Marc had slept three hours at most. His body pulled from its overflow of activity and this feeling pleased him. York smiled at him.

— In any case, he seems much calmer and less nervous.

Gavin smiled.

— Yes, and it's also because there are a lot fewer people.

— It's normal, with what happened yesterday, the director limited the number of people. As much as the actors are as comfortable as possible.

York pulled back and eyed him.

— You can not be more beautiful! Ready to get you high?

The manager blinked and York burst out laughing.

— Everything will be alright...

It was a lot more technical than Gavin thought. The director explained what he wanted, and everything was precise. Each gesture was monitored and detailed. He and Melissa had to make the same gestures in the same timing. The song was very explicit, but the clip would be sultry and porn-free. It would border on eroticism but discreetly. The same scene would be played by both couples. What would change would be the light, soften for Melissa, and dark red for Gavin, and the colors of the sheets. The clip would therefore stage a love scene between Marc and Melissa where the same scene would be interspersed between Marc and Gavin. The kiss started by Melissa would end with the one with Gavin. The hand that sensually caresses the woman's neck would end up on the male shoulder. The brushing of the fingers on the bulge of the breasts would end up on a man's torso. When Melissa strained her throat for the kiss, Gavin would end in a sigh. As the woman's body rocks on the pastel sheets, Gavin's will touch the black sheets. As Marc's hand slides over Melissa's, Gavin's fingers will be clenched. When the camera filmed the hollow of Melissa's silky belly, it would film the arch of the back and the birth of Gavin's buttocks. Melissa's manicured hands kneaded the shoulders and Gavin's would pinch the skin of the back. If Melissa's foot caressed Marc's calf, Gavin's would end up under Marc's ass. Marc's back would ripple and the light would play on the powerful muscles in his shoulders as he arched over the body beneath him. The woman's hands would go up along the outstretched arms like a rock and Gavin's hands would be tied behind the singer's neck. Another kiss would be shared. Then in the last part, Melissa and Gavin would fake a cry of pleasure, eyes closed, mouth open and throat offered, face covered with perspiration. The clip would end with Marc sitting on the bed, stroking each other's backs, the sheets hiding their private parts, his face serious and pensive. The unmade bed and the clothes dragging on the floor would finish the picture.

It was nerve-wracking for Marc. He was in control the whole time the shots lasted. To obey the director, to make gestures in a natural way, to express desire and love through his micro-expressions. Not to feel embarrassed in front of Melissa with whom he was not intimate. Do not shudder despite everything because physically she was beautiful. Trying to forget about all the cameras and staff to focus on the scene. After two hours he couldn't take it anymore. The part with the actress was over and he had walked away to get some fresh air, drinking some water. His body was shaking from the pressure he was putting on himself and he was anxious because after these few minutes of break, he would have to do the same with Gavin. He looked at him from a distance. The manager was nodding earnestly at the director as the stylist adjusted the bathrobe. Staff members changed bed sheets and accessories. He saw one of the security men call him to hand him a paper bag. Gavin thanked him and looked inside. Marc saw him frown. Gavin turned his head to Marc and their eyes met. Marc understood immediately. It was still a gift. Every day he received them, wherever they were, since the release of the first MV. Whether it was food, drink, clothes, stuffed animal... At first he had found it cute, but over time it became scary. When they had wanted to search, no one had seen anyone. Marc growled. Gavin pushed the paper bag away and focused back on the man speaking.
