model behaviour

Chapter 3



The next morning Sephiroth found his sons asleep and had to smile it had been a while since he had seen them curled up like puppies. He shook them gently.

"Riku, Miki I have to go."

"Pops?" Riku cracked one eye open and Miki rolled over.

"I have work but there's breakfast in the oven. I will se the two of you tonight."

"All right pop's take care."



He smiled and left grabbing his keys and heading for his car. As he left he saw Cloud also heading for his own car. the blonde saw him and smiled.

"Hello Seph."

"Cloud."

"The place is opening today right?"

"Yes it is."

"When ?"

"Noon."

"I might stop a bit later then.."

"I look forward to it."

"Later then."

"Good bye cloud." He nodded and got in his car as Cloud wheeled out a motorcycle and peeled out of the driveway.



`~~~~`~~~~~`~~~~`~~~~`~~~~~`~~~~`



"Get up Hyne or I'm feeding your breakfast to the dog!"

"Don't have a dog." the boy grumbled back.

"Then I'll take it over to Squall's and feed it to Angelo!"

Hyne stepped out of his room in the apartment he shared with his older brother and his brother's boyfriend in a long t-shirt and boxers. He glared at said boyfriend who was only in a pair of red boxers. He was a tall blonde with an odd scar across his nose. His eyes were a stormy blue and he was a very fine specimen of male but his attitude left alot to be desired in most people's opinion. Especially Hyne's

"You're an ass Seifer."

"And your a brat, get to the table."



Hyne headed for the kitchen/living and dining room of the apartment. His brother Zell was setting up the table. Also blonde but his hair was in spikes a little tamer than Cloud's. He had an odd tattoo on the side of his face made of black lines which covered his cheek. he smiled at his brother.

"Hey Hyne."

"Zell Seifer's an ass." His brother reported. Having heard Seifer's earlier words Zell just shook his head.

"Yeah, but I love that ass."

"I noticed, though I don't get it." Hyne sat at his place and dug into his food.

Seifer came in to the room still in only his boxers.

"That's one reason." Zell muttered looking his boyfriend up and down.

"Zell." hyne whined not wanting to hear things like that from his brother.

"If you don't like it move out." Seifer growled walking up to Zell.

"Where am I gonna go? I'm not going back to Balamb."

"Then to one of your friends."

"Seifer stop trying to kick out my baby brother." Zell made him sit and sat down himself. After breakfast Hyne grabbed some stuff and went to go see Sora and Roxas. It was only four blocks so he walked.



Half way there he saw Roxas' Ex-boyfriend walking quite obviously toward his house. Hyne frowned and jumped the fence to a yard and cut through it to the house behind Roxas' and jumped the fence to their back door. He knocked and was greeted by Sora's tired face.

"Hyne why are you at the back door?"

"To avoid trouble."

"Oh come on in then." Sora let him in.



He found Roxas infront of the TV eating some cereal and playing a fighting game apparently with Sora who sat next to him and picked up his controller.

"Hi Hyne."

"Yo." He plopped down on Roxas' other side. "Don't answer the door okay."

"Why?"

"The Asshole is on his way."

"Are you sure?" Sora bristled a little as Roxas' frowned.

"Why else would he be in the neighborhood?"

"Oh yeah."



`~~~~`~~~~~`~~~~`~~~~`~~~~~`~~~~`



Zack whistled to himself as he crossed the street. Knocking on the door to Sephiroth's home. Riku answered the door with a smile.

"Hey Zack, we're almost ready Miki's just grabbing our portfolio."

"All right, you excited about this?"

"Yeah if this works we'll be well on our way to our goal."

"Sounds like a plan."



As he waited for Miki to come down he saw Axel coming down the street the red-head stopped when he saw him.

"Hey Zack."

"Hello Axel what are you doing in this neck of the woods?"

"Oh merely taking a walk."

"Right why don't you hitch a ride to work with me and these two." He said as Riku and Miki came out of the house. Riku had a back pack and Miki carried a portfolio folder along with his bag for photography.

"Axel, my nephews Riku and Miki, Riku Miki Axel a fellow model at the Honey Bee."

"Nice to finally meet Zack's famous nephews he talks about you alot. You'll defiantly fit in but you sure you wouldn't rather be in front of the camera Miki?"

"No way I prefer to take the pictures." the silver-haired teen answered. this Axel guy made him kind of nervous.



Zack herded them all to his car with a quick look at Cloud's house catching sight of Cloud's sons and their friend Hyne watching, they ducked out of sight as he saw them, smiling to himself he got in the car and drove to the studio.



Honey Bee Inn was a cute little building near the beach. It was red brick with grey trim and very few windows. Zack led the two brothers in and Axel took off to bother someone. Zack and the two silver haired boys headed for the main office. An older blonde woman looked up form the desk as they came in.

"Hello Zack."

"Hey Elena, is Reno in?"

"Yes he's waiting for you and these two."

"Great, guys this is Elena she's one of the bosses here. Elena these are my nephews Riku and Miki."

"Hello."

"Hi,"

"Yo."

"Well go on in."



They walked into the main office it was a posh office with cherry wood furniture and large windows. A red head sat at the desk playing with a pencil as he leaned the chair back. He strained up as he saw them.

"Hey Zack these are the prodigies of yours?"

"Yep here they are."

"Hello Reno Damon head of Honey Bee. Now which is which?" He looked between the two boys.

"I'm Riku I do the posing." He put the portfolio on Reno's desk and he looked through it then up at Miki.

"I'm Miki I do the photos."

"I see well I could give you a trial we have a new line we're starting and I need a new model for it none of the ones we have seem right."

"All right but I'd rather Miki the photo's of me."

"Of course you realize I've never met a photographer model team like you two I want to see your stuff."

"Yes sir."

"Call me Reno now Zack take em down to Studio three."

"Right Reno come on boys."



In the studio a young blonde girl in a sheer outfit was laying against a big stuffed bear the photographer an older man with graying hair in a long pony tail and an eye patch over one orange eye was talking her picture.

:"Hey Xig I brought you the male model we needed." Zack called and they both looked up.

"I see. either would be perfect."

"Actually only Riku poses Miki's helping with the shots."

"Fine."

"Riku Miki good to see you two again." Namine smiled and stood up from the bear.

"Hey Nami."

"So Riku gonna pose with me?" She smiled and moved so that the light shone nicely through her shirt.

"Looks like it."

"Good."

A few men came over and dragged him off to the changing room and got Riku ready.



The shoot went well and Xigbar let Miki take most of the pictures. When they were done they saw Elena standing at the door to the studio.

"Very good that should be enough for today."

"Thank you Elena."

"Your welcome and hired you two really are a good team." she smiled and left.

"Hey Nami have any more shots today?"

"No I'm off."

"Well want to join us for lunch?"

"Sure there's a nice little place just down the street."

"Cool."



`~~~~`~~~~~`~~~~`~~~~`~~~~~`~~~~`



Roxas glared out the window as Zack was collecting the younger males. He saw Axel lean in on Miki and was tempted to go out and yell at him only Hyne and Sora kept him from doing so.

"That ass!"

"Yeah we know that." Hyne told him as he sat on his friend.

"But Zack can keep them out of trouble with Axel for now we'll just make sure Nami knows and she'll probably will tell them all about him." Sora said.

"Fine will you get off me now Hyne?"

"Alright but first tell me why he's hanging around?"

"He's been trying to convince me to go out with him again."

"He never learns huh?"

"Nope I even asked Pence to play my boyfriend but even that didn't work."

"We'll think of something."
