Viktor's POV

The shoot went by smoothly. I posed with an Italian model, Sara Crispino. She was an upcoming star from Italia, everything wanted her in their campaign, their runway show, whatever.

Thinking about her arms sneaking around Yuuri made me shudder. I'll admit that Sara was pretty, but she wasn't my type !

I didn't want anyone to be near Yuuri as more than a friend, really. I couldn't really remember if Phichit called dibs on him... Whatever !

The leather coat I wore was from the fall collection of Betements. It was paired with a simple grey shirt and black pants. Also, I was wearing one of my favourite things: boots !

After a few minutes of shooting, Yuuri jumped in front of the camera to fix my hair. He looked a bit scared but still confident about what he was doing. I stayed still while he combed my hair and sprayed it. Then Phichit jumped in as well to do some retouches on our makeup.

Yuuri went to Sara. I tried to keep my cool while Phichit applied some powder on my nose and cheekbones. He noticed someone was tickling me.

"Mr. Nikiforov, is everything alright ? I can ask an assistant for some water if you'd want !"

When we worked in front of everyone, we had to stay distant. Phichit called me Viktor outside of work though !

"I'm fine, really !"

Phichit noticed in which direction I looked.

"Ah, I see how it is !"

He smiled.

Was I that obvious !?!

"Mister Nikiforov, are you, perhaps, a little jealous?"

"Me ! Jealous, you mean ? No ! I ain't jealous, I'm only a little envious of the attention Katsuki-kun is giving Miss Crispino."

"That's the same thing," Phichit mumbled in a breath, thinking I hadn't heard him.

"Well, I think he's only doing his job, which is attending to the models and making sure you both have flawless hair."

"You're right, Phichit, I shouldn't say that. He's only doing his job, I've no right to feel like that. It's not like we're in an exclusive relationship or something !"

"Or something ?"

I sighed and went back to work. I tried to look like I was actually enjoying my job.

After a few minutes, the artistic director barged in.

"Everyone, may I have your attention ? I have an announcement to make, and it's not a good thing. I have the regret to announce you that today's shoot will be canceled ! Christophe, the male model that was to star in the magazine with Viktor, has informed me that he is sick with the flu. Unless we find a remplacement, we're doomed !" cried out the director.

"Mr Director ! I know exactly who can remplace Christophe."

"Who ?"

"Today's hairstylist, Yuuri Katsuki ! He's tall enough and gorgeous, he's model material. I really think we could give this a shot."

Huh ? My little Yuuri, a model ? Well, that was unexpected. Maybe that's what he was talking about with Sara earlier ! I glanced at Yuuri. The hairstylist was blushing profusely. His light complexion was adorable ! I sighed dreamily.

"Viktor, what do you think ?" the director asked me.

"I'm fine with it, but what about Yuuri ? Shouldn't we ask for his opinion on that matter ?"

Yuuri took a deep breath and looked at me intensely.

"Let's give this a shot," he declared.

AN:
Random question: Do you watch dramas ? From what country ? (Ex k-drama, c-drama, j-drama, etc) I watch a lot of Chinese dramas nowadays, pretty much one of the reason why it took me so long to update.
