Devotee // A BL+Yaoi Story

[Stevie's POV]

I stepped into my office and sighed as I fell back onto my desk chair. My house felt empty as the night's darkness invaded.

My house has always felt empty, though. It's always been just me and Prince.

Speak of the devil, Prince wandered into the room meowing with every step he took, brushing against my leg. Being a pure white cat that sheds a lot, he's more trouble that he's worth sometimes.

"Yeah, I see you Prince."

I pick him up in my arms and set him on my lap, petting his soft fur as his large blue eyes stared up at me. He kneaded his paws into my stomach, reminding me off the company I wish I had.

I picked Prince back up, standing up and putting him down in my chair. I walked back down the hallway to my bedroom, grabbing my laptop and surfing the web. I had eventually started watching random cat videos when I got a message from Jin.

Taken aback, I open the message.

Jin: Hey, Stevie. I have a favor to ask.

Stevie: Yeah?

Jin: Do you think, if I get evicted, it'd be alright if I stayed with you for a bit?

My chest tightened. Didn't he have any other friends to stay with? Not that I'm his friend, but why me?

I began to type when another message appeared.

Jin: I know it's asking for a lot, but my roommate is moving out and this place isn't exactly cheap. And it's a big IF. But you don't have to, I just want to know if I have an immediate place to go or not.

Stevie: Yeah of course.

Jin: Are you sure?

Stevie: Yeah, it's not like I don't have space.

Jin: Awesome! Thank you Stevie, I appreciate your help. And hey, it'll give us more time to get familiar.

Stevie: Mhm. Btw, it's a no if you have cat allergies.

Not knowing how to answer, I end the conversation at that. I grip my chest, and feel my face grow red with warmth.

Why did he choose me?

As a few days passed, Tuesday quickly approached. Of course, it was essential I was present since this was the big ticket task to my job.

Making sure Jin was on time, all nice and pretty, wearing something fashionable for the new issue and photos, on and on.

As I stood behind the photographer and watched Jin pose with the outfit and makeup I fashioned him into, I admired his handsome features. I've really outdone myself, haven't I?

The doors to the photoshoot room clicked open and I spun around to see Jin's boss walk in. Her long legs stretched out into a smooth model-like walk as her chin was high and the air around her resounded with confidence. It was undoubtedly Alisha Carter.

As the photographer finished up moments later, Jin caught sight and straightened his posture.

"Hello, Ms. Carter."

She chuckled.

"No need to be so formal, you two. I came here to offer, or more-so give, a proposal."

Jin and I looked at each other in curiosity.

"We have a big time company asking for nearly every kind of sample and modeling photo of our best models. It's for the winter collection, but for the winter collection, we need to bring that wow factor. So, Mr. Park, I will be requiring you to dye your hair."
