~Y/N~

I walked into my two-bedroom apartment finding my roommate Levi taking photos of the models he hired. That's right. Levi was a photographer. A good one at that. He was my best friend since birth. Literally. His mother and mine were great friends.

Anyway, I drop the keys on the counter and sit on the stool as I watched him bend down in front of his latest model. Typically the models he brings home were his girlfriends at the time. He had good taste in women. I, on the other hand, I did not date. The only one I wanted was him. Did he know that? Of course not.

My love for Levi started around middle school when he helped me stand up to my bullies. He was my guardian, protecting me from anything and everything. At first, it started out as a simple crush but grew into something more. Now I can't imagine my life without him.

"Alright, you're done for today," Levi says, bringing me out of my thoughts and back into reality. His model put on her jacket and shook his hand before leaving. When the door shut Levi came over to me setting his camera on the counter.

"Hey, when did you get in?" he asks.

"Just a few minutes ago," I answer.

"Oh, hungry?" he asks.

"Yes," I answer.

He walks around the counter and starts cooking. "So you're not dating this model?" I ask.

"No, just business," he says.

"That doesn't sound like you." I laugh.

"Oh yeah?" he asks as he turns to me with a smirk.

"Got tired of dating so many women?" I ask.

"Let's just say if I date again... it'll probably be my last... hopefully." he says.

I gulp nervously. That doesn't sound like him at all. "O-oh... I-I see." I stutter.

He turns to me with concerned eyes. "You alright?" he asks.

I nod my head vigorously. "Good, because after dinner I want you to model for me," he says.

"What? For real?" I ask. He never asks me to model for him. This is the first. What is going on with him?

"Yeah, I need some more photos with a different model, for an artistic piece to be shown at the next gallery opening next week," he explains.

"I would love that, what do you want me to do?" I ask.

"Well... how would you feel about showing skin on it?" he asks. His head turned my way but his eyes were averted elsewhere. His cheeks turned a faint crimson.

"...Like being half-naked?" I ask.

"Fully." He answers while his back was facing me now. I tense up at the word. Fully naked.

"W-well... I don't mind..." I say nervously. What am I saying? Hundreds of people are gonna see my ass and tits... of course I mind.

"You don't have to if you don't want to," he says after turning to look at me.

"I-I want to... It'll be fun." I answer.

He smiles and nods. Now I was nervous that I didn't want dinner to end. After he finished cooking we sat at our small dining table and began eating and talking about the photo-shoot that would be taking place in a matter of minutes.

I scarf down my food and rush over to the sink to wash off my plate. I impatiently wait for Levi to finish by going to my room and prepare myself. Why am I so nervous? It's not like it's the first time he's seen me naked.

I undress myself and get into a silk robe. I walk out into the living room going over to the set. I step on the white backdrop holding on the front of my robe for dear life. Levi kept his back turned to finish his food.

When he had finally finished he turned seeing me in just my robe. His face instantly turned red. I was beyond nervous. He then got up and made his way into the kitchen to drop off his plate in the sink. When he turned again he didn't make eye contact. He walked by the counter grabbing his camera before taking a deep breath. He must be as nervous as I am.

"Alright let's start shall we?" he asks.

"Y-yes of course." I stutter.

"We'll take a few shots with the jacket on... so you're more comfortable," he says before tossing a jacket at me. I turn away from him and slip the robe off and the jacket on.

"Alright now I want you to face away from me but turn your head to the side," he instructs. I do as told and stand with my back at him and my head turns to the side. I focus on him and he took a photo. I noticed he wasn't as red anymore. I felt a little more relaxed knowing he wasn't nervous.

"Alright next pose..." he says as he sets his camera down and walks over to me. He placed me in the position where I was sitting on the floor with one leg completely stretch out and the other bent up. The jacket slid down my shoulder. As I was about to fix it but he stops me.

"It's better that way. Now... stay there." he orders. I nod and look to the camera keeping a calm face. He took multiple photos while I moved my head here and there along with my arms. I wonder if he ever did with with his girlfriends when I'm not here.

"Alright, now stand up please," he says. I do as told and stand to my feet.

I built up enough courage to take off the jacket. "I-I think I don't need the jacket anymore," I say.

I could see his face turn red again as he nodded silently. "O-okay... then.... Actually I want you to lay on the floor again... lay facing away from me." he instructs.

I nod and lay down on the floor facing away from him. He walks over and places my right leg in another position before walking back around and taking a few photos.

"Alright, next I want you to stand and face me but have your hands cover your breasts," he instructs again.

Quickly I get on my feet and place my hand on my breasts. He takes a few shots. I try my best to do different poses but since it was my first photoshoot it was a bit weird for me.

After about an hour we finished up the shoot and I ran off to my room. I called one of my closest friends Petra. I told her everything. She was shocked that I had the guts to do the photoshoot let alone let hundreds of people see me naked. After I finished up the call Levi came in my room with his laptop.

"Alright, I finished editing and I want you to help choose some to put in the gallery," he says. This part I knew how to do. He would let me help pick out photos. He came and sat on my bed with his laptop in between us. I picked three of mine and four of the other girls who weren't naked.

By the time we finished picking them, we sat around and talked. "You did well today." Levi compliments.

"Thanks... to be honest I was so nervous." I say with an embarrassed laugh.

"It's always scary at first but it'll get better... and for someone who was nervous, you had a pretty good shoot today I might just hire you," he says with a soft laugh.

"Really?" I ask.

He nods and closes his laptop. I look over at my clock seeing it was almost midnight. "I should get to bed, I have a busy day tomorrow," he says.

"Yeah me too," I answer.

He stood up and turned to me. "Good night (Y/N)." he says.

"Night," I answer. I watched as he exited my room shutting the door behind him. It made me happy knowing Levi wanted me to model more for him.

~Levi~

After closing the door to my room I walk over to my bed and send the email containing only the four pictures from the women who weren't (Y/N). After photographing her today I realized that I didn't want anyone else seeing her like that but me.

Just the thought of hundreds of men seeing what only my eyes should see made me angry. She was my best friend and a perfect model in my eyes. I close my laptop and set it on the table next to my bed before turning out the lights and going to sleep.

~Next Morning~

I woke up to the sound of my phone's alarm going off. I go and slide it to the left dismissing it. I sit up and rub my eyes when my door bursts open. "Good morning Levi." (Y/N) says before placing a tray on the bed. She then climbed in next to me.

"Morning." I groan.

She slides the tray onto her lap and scooted closer to me until there was little space. "I made you breakfast," she says with a smile on her face. She never does stuff like this.

"Thanks," I say before taking the extra fork and cutting a piece of the waffle on the plate.

"So how did the gallery owner like the photos?" she asks.

"Oh... he really likes them... he'll be putting them on best shot.... They'll be sold for pretty a pretty good price." I answer.

"That's amazing!" she says in an excited tone.

I smile and nod. I can't tell her that her photos won't be there she'll be so upset and probably think I didn't like them.

After she finished her food she got up and got ready for work. I sigh and look at my phone seeing a text from the gallery owner.

'Where are the other three photos?' is what the owner asked. I text back telling him I changed my mind and only wanted those four.

~Day Of Gallery Opening~

~Y/N~

Today was the gallery opening where my photos would be displayed and sold. I didn't tell Levi I was going because I wanted to surprise him. Levi had left early to be there to greet the guests. Petra and I got ready back at her apartment.

When we were ready we left and had dinner before heading over to the gallery. It was pretty crowded and hard for the taxi driver to park. We both ended up getting out in the middle of the street after paying the man. We ran inside to a much more crowded space.

Petra and I were soon separated in the crowd. I kept my eye on all the walls filled with photos and paintings. So far I haven't found any of mine but a few of the others. Within about half an hour the crowd died down a little bit making it easier to move around. I ended up finding Petra.

"Have you found your photos yet?" she asks.

"No, I've looked everywhere," I say.

"I didn't see any of your either," she says.

I need to find Levi and ask him about it. They were selling the photos until later so there wasn't any way that my photo would have already been sold. I shift through the crowd now in search for Levi. To be honest I was a bit upset about it. Does he not like the photos? I look around along with Petra until I saw him in the corner talking to someone.

I make my way over. He finished his conversation with the man and turned to me shocked. "(Y/N)? What are you doing here?" he asks.

"I came to see my photos... unfortunately, they aren't here." I say.

"Look I only did it-

"Were they that awful?" I ask.

"What? No..." he says.

"You lied to me... you said they'd be here." I say.

"I know and I'm sor-"

"Maybe next time you should stick to professional models instead... at least you won't be embarrassed to show them off." I say before walking away.

"(Y/N) wait!" Levi calls.

I ignored him and made my way to the exit. I had texted Petra telling her I was headed home. I felt hurt that my best friend had lied to me. But I also felt bad for not giving him a chance to explain himself. Maybe he had a good reason. Maybe not.

When I got home I instantly go to my room shutting the door behind me. I plop down in my bed and cover my bottom half in my blanket. I did my best to contain my tears so my makeup wouldn't smear.

I stayed up until I heard the door to the apartment open. "(Y/N)?" I hear Levi call.

I kept quiet as I heard his footsteps get closer to my door. There was a faint creaking sound from him opening the door. He let out a sigh and walked in. I look back finding him closing the door. "What do you want?" I sigh. I turn my head away from him and lay back down. He climbed into my bed and laid next to me.

"I didn't mean to hurt you," he says. His arm wrapped around my waist trying to comfort me.

"I thought I did well..." I sigh.

"You did... when I was sending the email I realized I didn't want another person seeing your photos," he says.

I look up at him confused. "W-why?" I ask.

His cheeks turned red and he cleared his throat. "It's.... Because.... The thought of another man seeing you like that makes me mad." he sighs.

"You're jealous," I say as I sit up.

"Obviously," he says.

"You have no reason to be.... I don't date." I say.

"I know... but I don't want another guy sweeping you off your feet before I do," he says.

"Levi..."

"You and I have been friends forever... it's only natural for me to be attracted to you," he says.

"True... I just didn't see it coming from you." I say while scratching the back of my neck.

"So you feel the same." He mentions.

"Of course I do... I've always loved you... it's hard not to." I say. I kept my eyes averted from him.

He didn't say anything so I looked over to see what he was doing and ended up turning towards a kiss. It was soft and better than I imagined. When he pulled away I instantly missed the feeling. "Then... be my one and only," he says.

"Of course," I answer.

After hearing my answer he kissed me again. From that moment on I was Levi's only model. And for my first photos. Those were going to be in the next gallery opening. My love for him just kept growing and probably won't stop.
