Joseph x Wu Chang: The Muse

AN: Xie refers to the white guard and Jiu refers to the black guard.

Joseph's POV:

"About time." I muttered quietly to myself.

Today is the one day of the year where I didn't have to deal with those annoying pests. Putting down my hand mirror I confidently strode to my inspiration wall. The only thing that got me through each day having to waste time with such ugly creatures in matches, I can always come home to my muse.

Wu Chang

Ever since he came to the manor I've been fantasizing about him every day and night. I glance up at my newly rebuilt inspiration wall in awe. "He is a mystery. Every photo I take can not explain the feeling that wields up inside of me when I gaze at his features." Interrupting my thoughts, my camera beeps notifying me that a photo has been processed.

"Hm..? What's this?" looking at a notice a man dressed similarly to the man cloaked in white on the photos on the wall. "Looks like this project of mine got even more interesting."

I carefully stored the photo of the man in my coat pocket and glanced at the mirror "Hm, I'm still perfect as always. As expected of a Desaulniers."

Stepping out of my room I head towards the waiting lobby. I smirk thinking about the scheme that I had meticulously planned all week. For the duo hunter matches today, I had forged my muse's name onto every available spot on the list with my own. Sure I may have been banned from entering duo hunter matches but the game can't go on unless there are two players, the manor will be forced to allow me to enter seeing that no other hunter had signed up. "Looks like the list is still intact, all's going perfectly as planned."

Opening the door, I took my seat opposite from a similar looking one, from this angle the survivors couldn't see me. Glancing at the half filled table of survivors none of who looked worthy of my attention.

Suddenly the door opened grasping my attention away from my thoughts. There he stood the man dressed in black looking identical to my muse in white. Taking a seat opposite me, the man looked up and down my form, making me feel small in his gaze.

"Looks like we have been paired together..." he said, removing his gaze from me to look at the survivors gathered around their table. For some reason I felt sad when he wasn't paying attention to me. What's wrong with me today?

"Though it is odd that all the matches for today are with you and I, I suppose there is nothing that I can do about that." with a hair flip the man in black sighed. "Our hunter name is Wu Chang, but I prefer to be called Jiu."

"My name is Joseph Desaulniers, it is truly a pleasure to meet you Jiu."

Black Guard POV:

Moonlit park. A familiar map for duo hunter matches. Walking into the spawn area I see a figure run up to me.

"Gēgē!"

I smile, "You just made it on time Xie."

"So is it true?! Is the photographer in our matches today?" Xie said, unable to contain his excitement. Unfortunately I could not share the same excitement that he does.

I've heard the rumors about this Desaulniers. They say that his photos are possessed but that is just the tip of the iceberg. The real reason he got banned from duo hunters was because-

"Hey Gēgē! The match has started, are you okay?" Xie looked at me with a confused expression on his face. I don't want to tell him the rumors surrounding the photographer since he seemed eager to meet him. Simply nodding at Xie I clenched the umbrella in my hand.

"Let's start the hunt."

Joseph's POV:

Just my luck, I managed to spawn on the completely different side of the park as usual. Usually, hunters spawned inside of the building with the upper floor, however this match I was inside the circus tent. I sigh and quickly make my way to a camera, setting up the screen and bringing the world around me to a halt. If I walked quickly through the gray-scaled world, I might be able to find my target before the camera timer ran out.

"Where are you, my beauty?" I muttered as I rushed towards the other building. Just as I crossed the bridge, the gray-scaled world snapped away, and I was sent back into the real world. I cursed. How would I find my muse?

Suddenly, I heard Jiu's voice. "Desaulniers, what are you doing?" I gasped, my muse! I glided past survivors towards Jiu, pulling my camera from my pocket and taking a photo.

"Alas, mon amour, I have found you."

______________________________________________________________

I was able to acquire multiple photos that captured their beauty however just as I was about to process the last photo my luck had run out. I was discovered.

Without a knock Jiu had rushed into my room with Xie following close behind. I watched in horror as Jiu tore my months of hard work off of my walls.

"The pictures!" I cried as he crossed his arms. I caught a few midair before they could touch the disgusting floor.

Jiu snatched the pictures from my hands. "What do you think you're doing? Don't think that we didn't notice you taking these!"

I gasped. The pictures! My babies! "Please!" I begged. "Give them back!"

"Why do you have these?!" The black guard exclaimed again. The white guard nervously stared between us.

"I-"

"Yes?!" Jiu growled as he cornered me.

Dammit! How was the beautiful, gorgeous, and handsome Joseph Desaulniers getting tongue tied?

"Gēgē, please calm down!" Xie pleaded. He attempted to pull Jiu away, but Jiu yanked towards me.

"You're planning on doing some voodoo magic to curse us, huh?" Jiu yelled. He threw my pictures on the floor, and I screamed as I attempted to gather them.

"No! I wasn't! I'm a fucking french man you think I know voodoo?"

"Then why?! Why?!-"

"Because you are beautiful!"

Jiu paused and looked at me in shock. Xie also appeared to be shocked. I took this opportunity to grab the photos at the ground; then I realized what I had just said.

"You...No both of you, are beautiful!" I explained as I scrambled to my feet.

Both Xie and Jiu looked at me pitifully. "I'm....not beautiful.." They muttered in unison. Their cheeks were flushed in a bright red.

I grabbed their slender hand in mine. "Don't say that." Bringing them to my lips, I press a soft kiss onto the back of the black, then white hand.

"I am Joseph Desaulniers, photographer extraordinaire. My eye only catches the most beautiful things," I clasp their hands in mine. "I know a beauty when I see one. Well in this case when I see two!"

White smiled and chuckled, while Black scoffed and looked away with a blush on his face.

"Thank you." Xie whispered, wrapping his arms around me. He enveloped me into a hug. Jiu huffed and joined in as well. I pulled away and cupped their cheeks.

"I was thinking....I need a model-no, two models for my next piece. Would you accept my offer of being my muses?"

Xie nodded rather energetically. "Yes! Of course. This seems like a fun project." Jiu buried his face into my shoulder and muttered, "If Xie is alright with it, I guess I can help out."

I smiled and kissed both of them on the cheeks. "I'll see you in a few for our appointment then mes amours.~"
