(Mortal AU! Will is a hot young guy that people love to gawk ar. The school photographer is no exception.)

~Will POV~

I dunked the basketball as I heard a camera snap. The ball bounced as it hit the pavement then rolled over to me.

"You photograph real well, Solace." Someone said.

I looked over to see the school paper's photographer standing at the edge of the court.

"Nico, hey." I said, catching the ball.

I gave the black-haired boy a quick side hug, that he didn't want but he accepted. He showed me the photo on his camera. I'll admit I didn't look too bad.

"You're a great photographer, you can make anyone look good." I said.

"Can't you just accept that you photograph really well?" He asked, snapping another photo of me. "Look."

He showed me the new photo. Again, I didn't look bad.

"You could be a model." He said. "You've got the looks for it."

I ruffled his hair and his cheeks turned a pale pink.

"Did you need something or just want to tell me I could be a model?" I asked.

"Hm? Right!" He stuttered. "My photography class assigned a project and I...uh...need a model for it."

He shifted his weight from foot to foot.

"It's nothing weird or inappropriate." He said. "The assignment is just to make a collage of photos of a person."

"And you want me to be your model?" I asked.

He nodded.

We're not exactly friends. We talk from time to time but we're not friends. Why does he want me to be his model? That would mean spending a lot of time together. Why not go with someone he knows well? He's not the most social person.

"Why?" I asked.

"As I said, you photograph really well." He replied. "You don't have a bad side. Please?"

That would mean spending a lot of time together. The thought made me blush. I've had a crush on Nico since last year. He was taking photos of clubs for the yearbook.

[Flashback To About A Year Prior]

"And that concludes our last meeting!" The sci-fi club president said. "I will be graduating so next year our vice president, Will, will be taking my place as president."

"Before you leave, a photographer from the school paper would like to get a group shot for the yearbook." I said.

The dark-haired photographer at the back of the classroom stood up.

{About Twenty Minutes Later}

I spotted the photographer from earlier by the lockers. He had shoulder length black hair, sad brown eyes, and a small stature. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. I think we're in the same grade.

"Hey." I said.

The boy jumped and turned around.

"Uh...oh...uh..." He stammered. "Hi."

His pale face had become a deep red.

"You're that photographer from earlier. Nico, right?" I said. "I'm-"

"-Will Solace. Vice president of the Sci-fi club, star player of the basketball team, first place winner at the science fair, top student in biology class, first ever ukulele player in the band, and most popular student in our grade." He blurted out.
