You're My Masterpiece ((Vaiiea/ James))

[praiseofblood]

James personally didn't care about the contest or the money, though the room erupted in questions. He just liked doing art, and his parents had plenty of money, so he didn't need anything. Though he guess he did have to move out eventually.

[ode]

"Alright, alright. Remember here, gentlemen, it's not about the money. It's about showing the galaxy your work. Now everyone rest on your work. I want everyone to discuss The social aspects of being an artist and how you can cope with it. Social functions are a must when it comes to art, granted in short spurts but gallaries are just a small way to promote your name and artwork." Vaiiea said, leaning against his desk. "Mr. Jukar, how do you deal with social functions?"

[praiseofblood]

James immediately began to blush and stutter. "I d-don't really like people," he said, biting his plump, pierced lower lip.

[ode]

"What you like doesn't matter when you're promoting your work, Mr. Jukar. Your assignment for tonight is to attend a social function and engage no less than four people you do not know in a conversation about art. I will expect a full recounting tomorrow, understood?" he instructed.

[praiseofblood]

James pouted, the look adorable on his face. "Yes sir," he said, looking back to his easel. He didn't WANT to meet new people

[ode]

Vaiiea frowned as the sudden urge to kiss that frown away had him turning away to another student. "Malry?"

The day ended soon afterwards.

A tall charismatic Giver approached James after class as he was packing up. "Hey James." he said with a handsome smile that had James blushing. "How'd you like to come to a party my friends are having tonight? You can get your homework done there?" he said.

James flushed. "A-ah...okay." he said, looking down.

"Cool," the man said smiling. "I'm Deka. How bout I pick you up at say nine? What's your AI info?" he asked.

James blushed and the two exchanged AI names.

Aida raised a brow when James came home and immediately started getting redressed. "Going somewhere, sweetheart?"

[praiseofblood]

"Uh...my professor assigned me to talk to four people about art and this guy invited me to a party so can I go?" he asked.

[ode]

"Sweetie, you're 18. You can go wherever you want to. Just be careful and don't let some giver sweet talk you into doing anything you don't want to do." he warned before walking in and selecting a few things out of the closet. "Try this on, sweetie. It's sexy without being slutty. Lot's of guys will talk to you, I promise." he grinned then. "At least your lucky enough not to have Roux with you this time so he wont punch out the first giver who stares at your ass like last time."

[praiseofblood]

James blinked. "I still think he was only standing behind us in line. Roux is so overprotective." James said shaking his head before putting the clothing on--a tight pair of black pants with a molded, sexy tank that was cut for one shoulder and exposed the barest hint of flesh around his stomach.

[ode]

"Very nice," Aida nodded. "Now fo have fun." That said, he headed into the nursery.

[praiseofblood]

James blushed and headed outside to wait for Deka. The man arrived promptly and his eyes roamed James before he opened the door to the transport for him. "You look amazing." he said t the male and James blushed. "Ah t-thanks."

[ode]

Vaiiea went over the different drawing left on the easels but his eyes kept coming back to that Jukar kids. The boy was simply amazing. and his body... stars above... He should not be lettin his attraction effect him so much.

[praiseofblood]

James was currently being graced by tons of stars. He shifted uncomfortably, sliding a bit behind Deka as some of the Givers' eyes roamed him hungrily.
