Be My Muse || Jeanmarco

Chapter 1: Captivated.

"Armin, could you lift your head a bit?" I asked, looking through the lens of my camera, my hands grasped around my Nikon D500. I asked the models stood in the white set to move in multiple ways, finding the best lighting to show off both the model themselves as well as the clothes they were showcasing. 
"O-oh yeah, of course, sorry," The blonde in front of me stuttered as he raised his head to a steeper angle allowing light to show off the scarf wrapped around his neck. The long yellow hair surrounding his face gave off quite a feminine look, button nose, large blue eyes, perfectly plucked eyebrows. This guy was made to model... if only his personality came off a little more confident. 
"You're doing great babe!" an annoying voice yelled out from the sofa behind me, making me jump, almost dropping my camera. I swear, I normally enjoy working with male models my age but this one guy was just so full of himself. His brown hair parted down the middle, the dark colour of his head made his green eyes stand out. His chin, sharp, nose? Okay. He was handsome, sure, but his personality just ruined his image. 
I turned with a glare to show my disapproval of eh annoying client screaming out to his boyfriend in the middle of a shoot. He caught my eye and spoke to me with a smirk. "What? Am I not allowed to show my love?" 
I scoffed and turned back to the blonde male I was currently photographing. "Jaeger, I don't give a shit what you do but if it ends up ruining this shoot you're paying me more."
As soon as I finished my sentence I got a scolding from my manager. "Jean-bo! How could you speak with such profanity to a client! Such a wonderful one too!" Hanji, my eccentric manager exclaimed only to be shushed by her husband who just so happened to be my agent. 
"Hanji, please, you're too loud. And Jean, seriously, watch your mouth when at work." The short dark haired man said, looking at me through tired eyes. Levi always looked tired but recently even more so after my name started getting out there. He had to deal with requests one after another. I kinda felt bad for him. 
"Sorry, Levi. I'll get this shoot done.."

"So there's a big contribution between many companies coming up. Models from all over are taking part and it'll be a big chance to gain popularity in the industry. I believe that you two are in this?" Hanji spoke, manager mode activated, in a serious tone addressing all of us before turning to Armin and Eren sat opposite me and Levi.
"We sure are!" Eren exclaimed, wrapping an arm around his boyfriend's shoulder making the latter blush. "My sister is doing it too with her girlfriend!"
"Oh? Who's your sister?" Levi asked, feigning interest in what the other dude was saying - Levi obviously hated Eren and just wanted to spend time with his wife, how he can love someone that energetic and crazy I'll never know.
"Mikasa!" Eren grinned, I know why, Mikasa was absolutely stunning, anyone would brag about being related to her... 
"And Annie..." Armin added at the end. 
"Woooaaahhhhh! That'll be so funnnn!" Hanji clapped her hands and sighed happily. I looked to the side and I swear I could see Levi let out a little smile, something he never does. I was getting bored though. 
"Okay so what does that have to do with me?" I asked, boredom directed at Hanji which was a bad idea seeing as Levi gave me a kick under the meeting able.
"Weeeeell Jean-bo~" Hanji cooed. 
"Don't call me that."
"I'm telling you this because," She continued, ignoring me. "You've been asked to be the official photographer for the event." She grinned with satisfaction as my jaw literally dropped.
"What?!"
"What?!" 
Me and Levi both exclaimed at the same time. Hanji crossed her arms over her chest, smirking at me and her husband - honestly, I could call myself her son, that's how much they look after me. 
"Firstly, Levi, hun, before you get your knickers in a twist, you didn't hear about this because they came straight to me and I was saving it as a surprise," Levi sat back, smiling at his wife's explanation whilst I was sat frozen. "And Jean, isn't this great?! You'll get to work with so many people! Your name will be all over the industry! Your popularity will go through the ceiling!" She smiled before going serious again. "However, this is only if you want to."
"YES!" I said, mouth moving on it's own. "Yes! yes I'll do it!" I nodded violently, Eren giggling in the background. 
"Then it's sorted."

After our meeting finished, Eren and Armin were picked up by their staff whilst Hanji and Levi gave me a lift back to my town instead of me having to take the train. Hanji sat going through her notes of the meeting whilst Levi drove, a hand on the wheel, the other on Hanji's thigh lovingly. Honestly, they were the cutest couple ever. I once called them mum and dad and all they did was laugh and call me their spoilt son. It was embarrassing but really fun at the same time.
We sat in the car, In The End by Embrace playing on the radio. Not gonna lie, I sang along, it's a good song alright? Don't judge me. I was singing along quietly in the middle of the chorus when Hanji suddenly snapped me out of it. 
"Hey, Jean-bo? When are you gonna get a girlfriend or something?" 
I spat out my non existent coffee and leaned forward, balancing on the back of Hanji's chair, a few mumbles from Levi telling me not to dirty up his car went straight through my head. 
"W-what does that have to do with you?!" I blushed.
"Oh, y'know, I'm just curious. You're always taking photos, I wanted to know if you ever take time to go on dates." Hanji said simply, flicking the page in her book. 
"So what if I don't? You and Levi are always with me at work, you don't go on dates." I protested. 
"Jean, sit back. We're different anyway." Levi stated. 
"How?" I asked, sitting back in my leather seat. 
"We're married, Jean. We're not teenagers like you. We don't need to date to know we love each other." Levi said, earning an AWWW from Hanji and a kiss on the cheek. 
I groaned. 
"Whatever, you can drop me off here. There's a coffee shop I wanna go into."

"Jean! Fancy seeing you here!" I heard a familiar female voice call me from the window of the coffee shop as I carried my hot latte. Sasha sat at a table with Connie, looking out the window. They were dating so it wasn't strange that they were together but them being here was weird seems as they didn't even drink coffee. I decided to shrug it off and join them. 

They exchanged greetings with me and I told them what I had been up to (not saying about the new job, that's not allowed in contracts) and they told me about their antics. They soon became bored of talking about photos and they sat listening to Sasha's k-pop on her phone, sharing ear phones as they sipped on their hot chocolate. 
I felt isolated and grabbed my camera out of my bag, checking the lens and messing around with different settings. I earned a few teases from Connie about being 'Mr. Famous' but I shrugged them off.
I raised my camera to my eyes and began taking photos out the window. The reflection on the glass and the sunset behind the trees on the pathways buy the road gave off a certain ambience that I couldn't let go unnoticed. 
I lowered my camera after taking multiple shots and was shocked to see a few people looking at me, muttering my name. I looked at them, eyes wide and they soon looked away. I knew my face had been made public after an interview I did about being young for my work but I didn't think anyone actually saw the photos. Having strangers knowing who you are is weird. Kinda creepy if I'm honest. 
I checked on Sasha and Connie to see them giggling with each other over something on Connie's phone. I felt like a massive third wheel. I finished my latte and sat back, sighing at the view out of the window. I was left alone with my thoughts seems as Connie nor Sasha even recognised my existence. Brilliant. 
I was in the middle of thinking about how many new people I would meet with the new job I had when someone tapped my shoulder. 
"Excuse me, sir?" I turned to see a pair of honey brown eyes looking at me softly. I scanned the face belonging to those eyes. Freckles scattered across tanned skin, topped with a dark brown undercut parted in the middle. Like Levi's but shorter and tidier. 
"Y-Yeah?" I stuttered. Why did I stutter? I don't know why but I stuttered. Dammit. 
"Are you finished with your cup or would you like another drink?" He smiled. 
"Uh, no thanks, I'm finished.." 
"Okay, I'll take your cup for you~" Perfect teeth. Fucking pure white, how was anyone so... so... I don't even know what! 
I looked at the guy's name tag to reveal his name was Marco and he was new. Marco. A soft name to suit a soft person. 
I watched as the barista walked back to the counter and began cleaning the cups. I couldn't stop looking. I had an urge to take a photo right there and then... but I didn't. I grabbed my stuff and left before I could do anything. 
As I left a cheerful 'Thanks for coming' escaped the handsome barista's mouth. 

I had to go back soon.
