Chapter Text
Scott remembers when everything went wrong. He’d never really had many friends, asthmatic kid in a town full of jocks; add being gay on top of that. Yeah, he was the most popular of the “Outcasts” Thats what his now boyfriend called it. Jackson. They’d both lived in the same town, gone to the same schools but never talked until he became famous. That should have been the first sign.
Last year, Scott accidently turned his youtube page from private, to public. Years of videos of him singing released and it was already too late by the time he realized it. Deep inside he had hoped it would all die down, but a week later an agent from Howl Agency’s come to his doorstep and promised Scott the world. A week after that, it was all over the papers and news about the small town boy. Two days after that, Jackson showed up and confessed that he had always had a thing for Scott and wanted to know if they could try things out.
Innocently, scott had said yes. It was amazing at first, Jackson was the perfect boyfriend and made him feel adored. Then 6 months later, suddenly it all turned to shit. Jackson telling him Scott would be nowhere without him. That he was worthless and pathetic and he was lucky Jackson wanted to be seen with him.
He never told anyone what happened with Jackson behind closed doors, the guy was perfect outside of them so he didn’t think anyone would believe him. Besides, it wasn’t anything major. He didn’t force him to have sex or hit him or anything, just made him feel like he was worthless. Like he was back at school.
A year later Scott is still a skittish kid while being a star. Other’s had asked him to hang out, but he’d turned them all down unless Jackson seemed like he wanted to go. The public was starting to worry.
“We have to show people he’s not so closed off.” Erica, a member of his promotional team said, filing her nails.
“Yeah, the question is, how do you get a recluse not closed off?” Boyd said, throwing a ball against a wall.
Erica glared at him and sighed.
“What is we did a sexy calendar?” Stiles asked, looking through his phone.
“Calendar?” Both Erica and Boyd said, looking at him.
“Mhm.” He said, scrolling, looking for something.
“Look, you’re new, Scott maybe a friend of yours but the boss wont go for that.” Erica said. “It’s been done to many times before.”
Stiles frowned. Yes, he was new, three months new in fact. but he was right about this, he could feel it. Him and Scott being friends was only going to help the chances of them getting him to do this. “Look, can’t we try it?” He asked. “A guy Scott and I knew in Beacon Hills is a new up and coming photographer. Isaac Lahey. It could help both their images.” He said, looking at them.
They looked at each other and Boyd shrugged. “Why the hell not.”
Erica sighed. “Fine. Lets go talk to Derek.”
Derek loved the idea. Derek and his sister ran the company, but Derek made the decisions over Scott. “Get Lahey’s number and get this set up.”
“Already have it.” Stiles said, texting on his phone. “He has an opening in two weeks. He wasn’t to know what kind of calendar.”
Derek smirked softly and rolled his eyes. “Seasonal calendar.”
Stiles nodded, sending the text.
“Good work Stiles.” He said.
Stiles smiled, looking up from his phone. “Thank you Derek.”
“Go let Scott know.”
He nodded, going to track down his best friend.
