The first time Liam sees him is at his Aunt’s Grand Opening of her new art gallery.

He’s got raven-colored hair and the brightest eyes, body long and slender, smile framed by a bit of stubble. They’re standing across from each other in a small circle of people, Liam’s Aunt to his left and a co-worker from her art studio to his right, and though everybody’s eyes are on Aunt Cessy, listening to her talk about this great accomplishment, Liam cannot keep his eyes off the raven-haired boy.

There’s a tall, curly-haired lad standing next to him, possibly a little too close for them to be complete strangers, which brings Liam to the conclusion that if this boy’s artwork is showcased here and if he’s been allowed to bring friends to the Grand Opening, that means Aunt Cessy must be very fond of him.

The sparkling pink Champaign is bitter on his tongue, the atmosphere around him alive but quiet. Fancy people are walking around, mainly in pairs, a small table with mini cupcakes and more Champaign glasses near the back of the open, very white building.

It’s all very posh, and even though this isn’t normally Liam’s scene, he loves the few occasions his Aunt will invite him to these things.

The first time had been when she opened her art studio to the public, after expanding it into the next building. It’s now one of the biggest and most successful public art studios in all of London, maybe all of England, and Liam has enrolled in two classes for in the fall, in a few weeks: Photography and Digital Art.

For as long as he can remember, his Aunt has been obsessed with art, and he’s always been fascinated with her work. Liam can’t draw for shit, or paint, or sculpt, or any of those things, but with the two classes in the fall, he’ll be able to use the computer and a camera, things he’s always been good at.

Plus, it’ll help him to not stress so much over his school work, since this is his last year and all.

He’s excited to be able to see his Aunt more often now that he’ll be up at the studio every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. He and Niall go for dinner every Sunday night, but Liam still misses his Aunt.

His Aunt who has her hand on his shoulder and is introducing him now, so maybe he should take his eyes off this beauty sent from the angels themselves and pay more attention.

“… the greatest nephew in the world, I swear.”

Liam blushes, ducking his head and taking a large drink of the nasty pink stuff. It almost makes him cough a little, his eyes glancing up real quick to see that those bright eyes are trained on him, amusement pouring out in waves. It makes him blush harder. “Hi,” he mutters quickly, waving a two-finger salute to the six person group.

“Isn’t he just the charmer?” his Aunt continues with a fond voice. She links her arm though Liam’s, offers him a small wink that only he catches, then looks right over at raven boy. “He’ll be in our photography and digital art classes in the fall.”

The boy’s eyes widen a bit, and he smiles at Liam with a quick nod. “Harry here,” he motions to the curly-haired lad next to him, “will be your photography teacher, then. And Josh will be the other one.”

“Hi,” Harry says, waving. Liam smiles. Harry’s voice is deeper than the others, and Liam still hasn’t caught the other boy’s name.

Also, wait. That means this boy won’t be his teacher—he already knew the boy was a big fan of Aunt Cessy and has been showcasing his art work in her studio, as well as here now. Oh yay.
