Chap 24

Keith couldn't believe Isaac's offer, he felt so flattered that someone would want to sculpt him, but he was also embarrassed, afraid of making a fool of himself. He had never done this before, he didn't know how to do it, but the very idea of becoming a sculpture brought out a jubilation in him, he was so happy.

"I- me ? Isaac are you sure ? Because I have no experience and I'm also just a servant of the palace I don't know if it's right to do this...

But... hum, I really want to try..."

"That's fine, who cares if you're a servant. You're the person I want to carve now and if you're okay with it then there's nothing stopping us from doing it." Said Isaac as he walked over to Keith and held his hands, smiling at him.

"Okay, just tell me what to do."

"Take this sheet and get on the cube and get naked."

"Wow, completely naked ?"

"Yes, that's what I said."

"This is really embarrassing, are you sure ?"

"Take the sheet to cover whatever is bothering you if you want, but I want to see your torso.

And take this flower by the way." Isaac slipped a camellia into Keith's hands.

It was the flower of passionate, romantic love par excellence, Keith thought, the irony of Isaac giving him one.

Isaac was sketching Keith, who meanwhile was admiring the beauty of Isaac's concentration. It was such a quiet moment, only the sound of the pencil on the paper and the wind outside the studio could be heard. When Isaac looked up to see Keith, his gaze was soft, and Keith felt good, as if he was in a bubble. Isaac was standing in front of him, moving around him from time to time. A few strands of Isaac's hair were falling on his pale face, Keith noticed how long Isaac's eyelashes were, they seemed to come to rest on Isaac's cheeks as soon as he looked down on his sketch. As he watched Isaac, Keith felt like painting him. He had never really painted people, but there was something about Isaac that Keith wanted to capture on canvas.

"Isaac ?"

"Hmm." Isaac didn't look up and kept drawing on the paper

"Can I just get a pen and paper ?"

"Why ? No, it will make you move."

"I want to draw you too, please ?"

Isaac suddenly lifted his head from his notebook and looked into Keith's eyes. He felt trapped by his gaze and suddenly no longer confident about his request. Isaac blushed, smiled, and picked up a sheet of paper, a pencil, and a stand before handing them to Keith.

"Here, make me look good," Isaac said, and then began to draw Keith again.

Keith couldn't help but laugh at Isaac's cute attitude before starting to draw the first features of Isaac's face.
