The Vanguard and The Jewel Knight

Sketch

AU where Aichi is an artist and Kourin is a model.

Note: I want a little warning for I might mention nudity. Now all of you calm down, nudity is a form of art. Alright then. Enjoy.

Other notes: They are older, characters are in their 20's.

"Aichi Sendou?" A man called from the office, earning the attention of the called blue haired young man.

"Yes?" The young man named Aichi Sendou stood from the waiting seat.

"Come inside," Said the person at the office and Aichi did.

Aichi saw a person with white hair and green eyes, wearing white suit. He had a sincere smile painted on his face.

"My name is Takuto Tatsunagi, I am going to be your boss. And from the resume that you passed, you are now hired for the Tatsunagi Corporation."

Aichi gave a very happy smile, "Thank you so much! I'm very glad to be working for your corporation!"

Takuto then smirked, resting his chin on his hand. "So you're a professional artist, I think you'll be very best on drawing body figures, right?"

"Yes sir! I tend to draw body figures for my art pieces." Aichi replied.

"Are you capable on doing a sketch of a nude figure? With an actual nude person?"

That question made Aichi quite shocked, his mouth left agape. But he answered right after, "I-I haven't. But I'll try."

"The next project for the Corporation's exhibit is about the beauty of the creation of a person's body. And don't get me wrong, it's not sexual."

"I know about that. There are artist who would hire models for nude sketches, so it's not weird." Aichi said.

"Oh, so you know! Now, do you agree with the project?" Takuto asked.

Aichi nodded, "Yes sir!"

Takuto then chuckled, "I want you to meet your partner, she is the most beautiful model that you'll ever see. Kourin!"

"K-Kourin? Isn't that-"

"Hey," Aichi saw a blonde haired woman with green eyes. She looked at Aichi and gave a little smile which made Aichi blush.

"I'm Kourin Tatsunagi, it's nice to meet you." Kourin took her hand out to shake hands with Aichi.

Aichi held her hand back and he smiled, "I-it's nice to meet you! I'm Aichi Sendou."

"I hope we'll do best together."

"Y-yes!"

Aichi went to his work the next week, he quickly adjusted to his routine. Then comes the day that he and Kourin would be together for the project.

The two of them are at a room and Aichi felt quite a little tense as he sat on the chair and looked at Kourin in front of him and standing.

"S-so..." Aichi spoke, holding his sketchpad nervously.

"Yes, Sendou?" Kourin asked.

Aichi gulped, he saw Kourin already undressing herself. "J-just Aichi is okay... I um... this isn't your first time modeling for a nude sketch, right?"

Kourin nodded, "I've done this before, so it's nothing for me."

"I see." Aichi's eyes darted on Kourin's body figure once Kourin only has her underwear on. He thought she has a perfect body, he understood why she's the most beautiful model he would ever meet.

Kourin looked back at Aichi who had started to open his sketchpad and held his pencil nervously. Kourin only smiled at him.

"So Aichi, are you ready?" She asked. "I'm gonna take off my underwear."

Aichi gulped again, his nervous hands held his materials tightly. "O-of course, Kourin-san!"

Kourin obliged, when she took off her underwear, Aichi tensed. But he calmed down once Kourin started to pose, and Aichi stared at her before looking at his sketchpad and started to draw.

It took them a while, but Aichi got used. He would look at Kourin and her body to sketch some more. There are times they would meet each other's eyes, and Aichi somehow feel a bit weird.

'She has fierce eyes,' he thought.

He went back on drawing.
-

They finished, and Aichi sighed in relief. During the whole time it was a bit awkward for him since it was his first time, but he thought he did it well. Aichi looked at his sketch and smiled.

"How is it, Aichi?" Kourin asked as she wore her clothes again.

"Oh, I think it turned out great." Aichi said and smiled at her.

Kourin went to him and take a look at the sketchpad, her eyes widened by how Aichi had drawn her beautifully. She blushed and smiled, Kourin looked at him.

"This... this is beautiful, Aichi. I'm... impressed." Kourin said.

Aichi had a grin on his face and looked at Kourin, "Thank you!"

Kourin then sat beside him and spoke, "I think I might want you to become the artist who has to draw me always."

"Really?" Aichi looked at Kourin in surprise.

"Yeah, because you're really good at this. And you have a different art style, so it's unique. I really like this." Kourin told him. "Will you show me more of your artworks?"

"Sure!"

The two then had a conversation for longer, and they looked at each other's eyes once again. This time they felt a bit different than earlier, they blushed and both looked away. Awkwardness filled the atmosphere and they went quiet until Takuto went to their room and told them to show the drawing of Aichi.

Since then, Aichi and Kourin would always be together for the modeling sessions and the two became closer, to the point where both felt something else different.

Maybe it was love?

A love at first art?

END

A/N: I know if this sucked, I only wrote this because I was doing a sketch and I thought 'What if Aichi is an artist who draws Kourin?' So this happened. I hope you still liked this.
