2.12 George Walter

" Thanks for your hardwork! As you all know, we will be eliminating another 10 of you with your results, so now I will be announcing the names of who stayed. " George who was always the silent one said, making the contestants all wait in anticipation.

"Cliff Pierce."

...

"Lionel Mervin."

"Joshua."

"Ariel Torres."

" Rose Calli. " Although George didn't want to keep such dangerous person by his kitten side, His kitten himself asked George to not take her out, so , George can only do as his kitten says.

Those that wasn't chosen left in disappointment while those that name's had been called gave a shout of accomplishment.

Given freedom to whatever they want for the rest of the day, the models returned to their lodgings. Joshua however was pulled back by a stoic George. Lionel realizing that Joshua wasn't with them, turn back only to see Joshua held back by George.

" Joshua? " Ariel questioned.

" Its okay! You go first! Mr Walters has something to ask me!!" Joshua shouted across the room before leaving with George.

"So Mr Walters, what do you need me for? " Joshua ask teasingly as George pulled them into a empty room before locking the door.

Not replying back, George just took a step forward and hugged Joshua in a bone crushing hug.

Realizing something is wrong, Joshua put on his serious face and asked, "Hey... what's wrong babe?"

"..." George muttered into his clothes.

" Repeat that? "

"I don't like them staring at what's mine..." George uncharacteristically pouted.

Bursting into laughter, Joshua wiped the tears that fell from his eyes before grasping his stomach that was in pain.

"Hahahah!!! N-No one's taking me away from you. Whether they like it or not." Joshua said, actually chocking on his saliva for a moment.

To prove his point, Joshua took the initiative and kissed George in a sweet short kiss. Instead of allowing George to kiss him back, Joshua took a step back, unlocking the door and leaving a smile for George before leaving. If he doesn't control himself, how can be called his husband?

Groaning, George stares at the close door and thinks about how evil his kitten can be. Deciding to enjoy the remaining time before the next elimination which would cut the group of models smaller, Joshua went to Lionel's room and knocked.

" Lionel you there?? "

The door opened, and a hand grabbed him, leaving John out, pulling him in as the door snaps shut.

"...What are you doing Lionel? " Joshua questions as he watch Lionel act childish and dive into the comforts of his blanket.

" M...Ari...me...Like...." utter nonsense was heard since he was muffled by the blanket.

"Huh??" Joshua genuinely confused said.

" I like Ariel okay!" Lionel suddenly exclaims.

" Well I already know that."

" I know you woul- wait.. you do?" Lionel asked dumbfounded.

"It was pretty obvious." Joshua casually said as he shrugged.

" So will you help me? " Lionel said blushing.

".... I was helping you from the start..." Joshua deadpanned.

" All you have to do is confess and tada! Your ship sail and my mission complete. " He continued.

" Er...it's that easy? Huh what mission?" Lionel confusedly ask.

"My mission. Anyways, Ariel feels the same way so don't worry. " As Joshua says that, Lionel look at him with admiration and respect, as if Joshua was a love guru.

"How are you so sure? " Lionel questions, not able to convince himself that it was that easy.

" Dude.. Have you seen her behaviour around you? She blushes all the time and I even managed to catch her off guard once." Joshua said, acting nonchalant, glancing at his nails.

' I always wanted to try that..'

" T-Then! I'll confess now!!!" He said , standing abruptly rushing out of the room.

' Ah...he was serious.'

Ten minutes later, Joshua received a notification.

<< Side mission accomplished! New ship has sailed. 30 points gained! Total points 160.>>

Smirking, Joshua just closed his eyes as he laid on the bed.

[Host! Bao Zi is back!!]

'Oh? How convenient. So where is my update gift?'

[Right! Host has been gifted a nutrition pill that brings body stats up x1, lucky spin tickets x2, life-saving pill x1.]

'Hmm not that bad.'

[Host, shall Bao Zi tell you what has updated?]

'mhm'

'Not bad, a gamer's feel.'

Before Joshua drifted off to sleep, he received another notification.

Saying nothing, Joshua smiled as he knew his lover was the one behind the scenes.
