Both? Both. Both is good.
Yusuke Kitagawa
- Yusuke thought he found the ultimate model in the form of lovely Ann; and then he saw you. For sure, he certainly felt a certain rush of emotion from seeing her beauty. With you, though? That wave turns into a tsunami and the boy’s drowning in his feelings. He has to paint you.
- All of Yusuke’s training with the Phantom Thieves in ‘how to socialize correctly’ flies completely out the window when he approaches you with his request. He begs you passionately; “Please do me the great honor of being my model!” It’s fairly reminiscent of Ann’s recruitment, except that Yusuke’s cheeks are flushed pink and he’s much more desperate. He considers getting on his knees to beg but thankfully, even Yusuke can tell that’s a bit too much.
- Yusuke senses your hesitancy, noticing your pink cheeks and gaze glued to the ground. He assumes it’s modesty, or that maybe you don’t want to model for him (if only he knew it’s because you feel the same rushing of emotions around him). He wants to bribe you with sweets or something like that, but for some reason his conscience won’t let him; he can’t bear the idea of forcing you into something you don’t want. Yusuke grows uncharacteristically quiet. “This is only something you should consent to if you’re at ease with the idea,” he reassures you earnestly.
- Hours later, Yusuke’s completely baffled. He’s always been willing to do whatever it takes to pursue his latest art goal; why hesitate now? What’s so different about you?
- When the day comes and you show up at his dorm room,Yusuke’s head is wrapped up in the picture he wants to paint; the butterflies in his stomach are almost completely ignored. He calmly asks you to sit and pose, and once you’re positioned, he gets to work, pencil immediately scratching the canvas.
- At first everything goes smoothly but within five minutes Yusuke starts getting distracted. He gets caught up in the way the light hits your hair, the glow of your skin, the shape of your waist. When he starts on your mouth his pencil stills completely; his fingers brush his lips feather-lightly as he sighs, cheeks flushing pink. By now his face is too hot and his mind is all over the place; he clears his throat, shaking his head and announcing he can’t focus. He’ll have to try again later, he says.
- Or at least, that’s what he wants to say. Yusuke’s eyes lock with yours and the words just melt away. He sits and stares, quiet, and you stare back. The tension mounts thick and heavy until the boy can’t take it and he snaps. His body goes on autopilot and his lips are against yours before he knows what’s happening.
- The next modeling session goes much better; since you’ve confessed your feelings, now Yusuke can focus on drawing your likeness instead of stamping down the butterflies in his stomach.
- Yusuke’s very hands-on when he’s posing you. Nowhere is sacred, and his hands brush almost everywhere before he’s satisfied with your position. (And if his hands linger longer than necessary on your hips and your waist and your chest, well, don’t be surprised).
- Expect Yusuke to ask you to model nude. Also expect him to drop his paintbrush halfway through his work and grasp you between his hands, instead.
- When neither of you have anything to do and want to kill some time, Yusuke always asks you to model for him. No matter if you’re at Inakoshira park, school, even snuggled in the warm booths of Leblanc, he’s always ready to pull out his sketchpad and draw your likeness. The scenery change makes for delightful shifts in atmosphere, Yusuke claims, but really he just wants an excuse to stare at you wherever you go.
- Convincing Yusuke not to spend his entire monthly food budget on new clothes for you to model in is quite the challenge. When he sees something lovely on a mannequin he immediately pictures it settled on your curves, and the sudden burst of inspiration is so strong he reaches for his coin purse before he’s even thinking. If you threaten to stop modeling for him unless he gets his spending habits under control, though, the impulse clothing buys gradually trickle to a stop.
- The one thing Yusuke refuses to compromise on is a yukata. If you don’t already have one stored carefully in your closet he buys you one, expertly patterned and colored to beautifully match your skin. Naturally, the first thing he does is have you model in it (seeing your radiance eases the pain of spending so much money).
