28 Hot and Cold

Marcel left the orphanage and made his way to Monochrome. Rather than rush there, he took his time to calm down. He didn't know how he had gotten so angry in the first place.

<Avian, why was I so angry just now?> Marcel asked. He really felt like the amount of anger he felt was completely unwarranted.

[It's called testosterone] Avian replied and Marcel lifted his eyebrows in realisation. He was a man now.

Even though he got reminded every time he had to use the bathroom and showered, and also whenever he got dressed and didn't need a bra to support a bountiful chest anymore, which he considered a plus since he would have no use for them if he had them, and he had also successfully escaped those ridiculous contraptions. This was the first time he felt it on a hormonal level.

<Then I'll have to be more careful. This body is still young, I didn't think it could be impulsive all on its own> Marcel said with a sigh.

[You'll have to, especially in the industry] Avian said and then there was silence between them until when Marcel arrived at the studio.

He opened the door and when he went inside, his eyes widened. He did not expect to see a picture of himself on the wall of the studio.

It stood out even more because it was the only picture in the studio. When he walked further and looked around, he saw only Paul was there. It looked like Milly hadn't arrived yet.

"Big bro!" Marcel shouted, his voice echoing in the big studio. Paul was instantly annoyed because he was carrying things and his obnoxious call almost made him drop his lenses.

"Why did you come so early?" Paul asked as he put the box that he was carrying on his desk.

"I came to see you of course," Marcel said with a big smile and sat on the chair behind his desk.

"What do you want?" Paul asked as he busied himself with cleaning his equipment.

"I saw the photo you put up of me. I'm so flattered" Marcel said and leaned forward to hold one of the lenses but got a smack on his hand.

"Don't touch them," Paul said as his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

Marcel didn't take it to heart and laughed instead. Strangely, he enjoyed getting on Paul's nerves.

He had never had any siblings before and he had a weird sense of kinship with Paul, besides, it wasn't like he could act the same way with Liam, he had to be a role model to him.

Paul, on the other hand, would disagree about having feelings of kinship. He just thought that Marcel was a handsome brat that was completely shameless.

"Was that photo your favourite?" Marcel asked earning a glare from Paul that made him smile in accomplishment.

"I sent them to get developed. I don't have the equipment to make such large photographs, that was the one that came out first" Paul answered.

"Ah~" Marcel responded while nodding.

"Milly will come with another one in a bit," Paul said absentmindedly.

"That's why she isn't around," Marcel said as his eyes looked around the office.

"I'm actually moving tomorrow," Marcel said after a short period of silence.

"Where to?" Paul asked after a pause.

"I'm also not sure, my company is arranging everything for me. I just have to sign the contract tomorrow and I'll have a manager and an assistant" Marcel explained.

"You should visit when you have time," Paul said.

"How are you cold one minute and then warm the next? You're making me flustered" Marcel said jokingly and as expected, Paul became flustered when he heard.

"If you don't want to come you don't have to," Paul said with his voice laced in annoyance.

"Aren't you overreacting? I promise I'll come, even if it's just to see you" Marcel said cheekily.

After their banter, Paul figured that he wouldn't be able to win against Marcel so he made up his mind to blatantly ignore him.

It wasn't long before they heard the door get slammed open and a breathless Milly walk in with a large package that was covered with brown paper.

"You won't believe what is going on online, Marcel is-" Milly had started saying but paused when she saw the person she was planning on gossiping about was around. If only the door to Paul's office was closed, she would have ended up saying that she would have definitely regretted.

"What about me?" Marcel asked as he stood up to go help her with the package. Milly readily handed it over to him but did not continue talking from embarrassment.

"What happened?" Marcel asked, now definitely curious.

"Well, your video has already garnered over a million views," Milly said and unlocked her phone to show Marcel the video she was talking about. Paul also curiously snuck up between them to look at the video as well.

Marcel wondered what video she was talking about since they hadn't shot the music video yet. When Milly started playing the video, he immediately remembered where it was taken.

He saw himself carry Sherry who was "unconscious" at the time. As he kept watching, even he thought he looked really cool. Viewing himself as a man was very different from viewing himself as a woman.

He looked gorgeous when he was a woman, but at that moment he kinda fell in love with himself. Being good looking is really not healthy for one's vanity.

"Is that Sherry?" Paul asked and Marcel turned to look at him. Of course, as a man, he would notice her and not him, right?

"Yes, should I get you a signed photo? We're in the same company anyway" Marcel said clearly amused.

"Are you being serious?" Paul asked as he looked at Marcel. For the first time, Marcel saw life in Paul's eyes. He always carried an annoyed expression before, is he that big of a fan? Marcel thought to himself but nodded.

It was the least he could do since Paul had already helped him tremendously. He hadn't even paid for his portfolio yet.
