"They kissed like the sun kisses an Irish man's skin? Seriously mate? That's offensive." Niall flicks the back of Zayn's head.
"Ow! I told you I'm not great at this shit. I'm not even remotely close to good."
"Yeah, I'll say. That's why you're a model. So get back infront of the camera. I'm tired of hearing Carol yell everytime you're late."
"Yeah, whatever." Zayn grumbles as he walks back to set.
"And keep your willy soft when you see the photographer!" Niall shouts, causing Zayn to give him the bird.
"Keep your willy soft," he mocks quietly, "I'm perfectly capable."
When he gets to set, Carol looks relieved that he's on time for once.
"Great! You're here! Now where's Liam? Liam! Li- oh! There he is!"
Liam was just hired as a photographer for Carol's models last month. Zayn thought it would've made more sense for him to be infront of the camera, rather than behind it. Because he's obviously gorgeous. The second he scurries into the room throwing out apologies for being late, Zayn melts. Or he feels like it, atleast. Liam's probably the only person who makes Zayn want to latch onto them like a khoala.
"Okay Zayn. This shoot is more on the seductive side. Can you be seductive? Yes you can. You want to make the viewers feel like they're being undressed by your eyes. It has to be that good. Get it? Got it? Okay! Let's rid this boy of his shirt and get him in some tighter jeans! Let's go!" Carol claps loudly, "And someone get me a damn coffee this day isn't going fast enough."
A second later Zayn is pulled into a backroom and instructed to take his shirt off.
"These are my favorite kind of shoots," the makeup artist tells him as he applies pounds of foundation to his face, "you always look sooo much better without a shirt."
"Shutup, Louis." he laughs, "What would Harry think?"
Louis shrugs, "Haz wouldn't mind actually, he knows you won't take me from him because you're so in love with mr. camera man."
"I am not in love with Liam. He's just attractive." Zayn turns his head to watch Liam set up his camera while Louis messes with his hair.
"Oh he's got a name? Do you scream it often?"
And-yep. That's enough.
"Okay I'm going to go stand infront of the camera and not listen to you now."
Zayn stands from the chair and goes back in the main room where it's him, Liam, and a couple of important looking people who have their noses in their phones.
"Um," Zayn coughs and Liam looks up, "I'm ready."
Liam gives him a smile, "Just a second." he messes with the equipment some more before looking back to Zayn, "All ready." And Zayn can't not smile at how Liam's eyes sparkle when the corners of his mouth tip up.
"Alright." Zayn nods, unsure of how to actually start.
"It's supposed to be seductive, right? Just do your bedroom eyes or something." Liam instructs.
Zayn bites his lip and looks straight at the camera -or Liam because bedroom eyes come easy when you're looking at that- and puts on his best seductive look, hoping he doesn't look constipated.
Liam snaps a few pictures, "How about you take your hand and slide it down your torso," Zayn does just that, "Perfect. Now slide it through your hair and let your mouth drop open just a little, as if you were... you know."
This time when Zayn does it, Liam gulps very obviously, "Good." his voice is strained, "Now um, just do whatever you think works."
Liam keeps taking pictures as Zayn smirks and grabs his crotch, still looking at the camera(Liam) with that look in his eyes. Liam's eyes widen and he takes a few more before stopping.
He clears his throat, "I think that's enough for today."
"Bravo!" Carol claps from the corner of the room, Zayn hadn't even noticed anyone else come in, "If I didn't know any better I'd think you actually undressed poor little Liam with your eyes. It's brilliant!"
Zayn looks around the room to see Louis and Niall both smirking at him.
He shakes his head at them as he walks back to his clothes because he was mostlt definitely not undressing Liam with his eyes. Definitely not.
