Photographers Proposal

My eyes locked with the computer screen as I desperately searched for someone, finally I had gotten a decent idea for my latest photography project but my teacher wants more diversity... Meaning I had to find a guy to model for me. Only issue is I barely know any very well, and by well I mean well enough to have them shirtless whilst I photograph them in all sorts of positions. 

"What about him?" Y/f/n points out one guy but I squirm in my seat causing her to let out a loud sigh. 

"Look he doesn't even know me, besides why would he even want to?" I stated and she went silent whilst I continued to search but eventually let out a loud sigh and rested my head against the desk. 

I felt a nudge and slowly lifted my head up, feeling tired from racking my brain. "Hey, Y/n." She spoke up and made small notions to someone on the other side of the classroom. Through the computer screens I could just make him out, quickly I focused back onto my screen, shaking my head repeatedly. 

"It's not going to happen, he wouldn't want to. We've only spoken a few times and it seems kinda personal." I mumbled as I shifted in my seat, she pulled a face at me indicating I should at least try. "But I can't." I kept my head low as I tried to work up the courage to ask him after class.

Every now and then I would take a sneak glance through the computer screens just to see him, to see if he seems nice enough to ask without making me feel even more uncomfortable than I do already about this. He was solely focused on his screen but even from here I could see his hazel eyes which could compliment some of the photos I had prepared, as he pushed those blonde curls out of his eyes I pictured them hiding his eyes, showing some mystery. 

"Looks like someone's invested." She whispers causing me to snap out of my thoughts and drop my phone on the floor, a blush crossed my cheeks as I glanced up and saw him smile to me then I quickly locked eyes with the computer yet again. "He smiled to you Y/n, it's worth a try." This time I listened, he seemed different to the others. 

Once the lesson ended I quickly grabbed my things as lunch was starting and tried to think what I could say to him. I didn't exactly want to say 'will you be my topless model?' as that is not the best opening for strangers. I tapped his shoulder and he turned around, noticing who I was he gave me a polite smile that made me feel uneasy. 

"Hey Ashton." I tried to sound confident, but I knew my voice was slightly shaky but he remained pleasant and fairly patient. "I just wanted to ask you something but please don't freak out over it." A small sigh escaped my lips and I kept my eyes down, not wanting to get more embarrassed about it than I already felt. "By any chance would you be willing to model for me as a part of my photography coursework?" I heard a light laugh as I finished and the pit in my stomach grew larger. 

Taking a look up I was surprised by what I saw, Ashton was smiling at me. He wasn't pulling a face of disgust or stupidity, instead he too seemed slightly embarrassed but cute at the same time. His hand reached up behind the back of his neck, "You sure you want me to? I mean I'm more than happy to help you Y/n, just let me know when." He gave me a quick hug which I wasn't prepared for and felt the originally large pit in my stomach shrink entirely. 

"Course I do, I mean you're willing to, say after school? But I do need you to be topless." The last part came out so quietly I doubt he heard, I waited for him to ask again yet he didn't, instead he nodded. 

"Alright, I'll see you then." And with that he walked off, only then I realised how tall he actually seemed, how muscular he was. I sure picked the right guy do modelling for me without a shadow of doubt. 

I had about half an hour until Ashton was due to meet me, meaning I was in setup mode. This usually consisted of me moving heavy lighting equipment from one end of the corridor through tough doors without any help, as I struggled to open the door I saw it open on its own. Peering around the door I saw Ashton with a big smile on his face, which turned to one of concern when he saw what I was carrying.
