Lucio smiled as Ansel hurried over and gathered him up excitedly in his arms. He returned the kiss without hesitation and then laughed softly and nodded, “Yes, I’m fully aware of what you think, my darling. I know I’m good at it, but I don’t do it merely for the fact that I don’t enjoy it at all.” He joined Ansel in his trek downstairs, seemingly eager to distract his angsty mind with thoughts of the upcoming project, no matter how mundane it would be in the end.<br/><br/>“Ah, yeah, I could probably eat a little something. I’ve not a massive appetite but perhaps some fruit,” he murmured thoughtfully, falling silent for a moment and pursing his lips slightly before he began. “Anyways, there’s a fundraiser held every year by Cassio’s modeling company to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. They host a masquerade ball where they auction off various unreleased photos and a variety of other things that their wealthier patrons kindly donate. You know, exotic vacation packages, sky diving experiences, professional painting sessions, things like that. Since you mingle with the elite of Chicago I’m sure you’ve at least heard of the ball.” He smiled over at Ansel before continuing, “But anyways, the shoot will be in preparation for the ball. I have a fair few . . . Admirers, among the modeling community, though I haven’t done much work. I have a bit of a unique look about me that the patrons always seem to enjoy.<br/><br/>“My photographs always seem to sell very well, apparently there’s a handful of men and women that have bid on them for each of the three years I’ve taken part in this particular fundraiser, so I have a select group of secret admirers that have my face and body plastered throughout their homes,” the boy laughed softly at the thought of it and he slowly shook his head. “Last year’s shoot was probably my favorite out of any of the once I’ve ever done. They even let me keep the reject shots, though I’ve never done anything with them, they just sit on my phone and laptop,” he commented thoughtfully fishing in the pocket of the trunks he wore and grabbing a hold of his cellphone as they reached the bottom of the stairs.<br/><br/>He scrolled through briefly as they wandered into the kitchen, which had now been left a vacated mess, and he handed the phone over to Ansel so he could look at said photographs as he moved to clean up the wreck he’d caused. “Those photographs were among the number that didn’t make the cut, only two of them made it onto the auction stand last year. The photographer thought it was a shame to let them go to waste so he allowed me to pick out a few to keep. I prefer the photoshopped ones, they got rid of all my little freckles and moles, but some of the untouched ones are alright as well,” he commented from his spot crouching beside the damaged wall, carefully picking out strips of bacon from the bit of rubble as he spoke.<br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
