Captured Ink, Hidden Hearts

Harry

A/N: This Friday, J and I have a new story coming online. We'll post it as a WIP if anyone wants to join us... 👀🫶🏻

Harry can hardly believe his luck. In the last few days, he has gained many new followers on his social media channels and the positive feedback encourages him to continue pursuing his dream of owning his own photo studio. Lying comfortably in his bed after Louis has just set off for work, he is currently looking for an affordable, smaller object to rent where he can open his photo studio and is immersing himself in the world of properties.

While Harry is searching around for suitable premises, he suddenly receives an email from an artist who has noticed him. The artist suggests integrating the tattoos photographed by Harry into his artwork and is willing to pay a reasonable sum for this. Harry is immediately enthusiastic about the idea and begins to find out more about the artist.

The research reveals to Harry a fascinating world full of creative forms of expression. So far, the artist has mainly painted landscape motifs and has already included other photographs here. But Harry can already visualise his paintings in black and white particularly well with art and it sparks a new creative passion in himself. Harry immediately replies to his email to find out more and shortly afterwards he is emailed his number and the two of them talk on the phone.

It is a good conversation with the artist and they both share their artistic visions. The other man is equally enthusiastic about the idea of incorporating the tattoos into his art as an expression of personal stories.

Eventually, Harry and the artist agree on a collaboration that is not only financially rewarding, but also represents a creative symbiosis between photography and painting. Harry is now even more looking forward to realising his photographs in his own studio and with the partnership with the talented artist, creating a unique artistic dimension that will hopefully inspire his followers.

Immediately after hanging up, he calls Louis and it takes him a while to answer.

"Hey love," Louis takes the call finally and sounds a little out of breath.

Harry immediately has a guilty conscience. "I disturbed you, didn't I?"

"You never disturb,” Louis says gently.

"Well, I think you've got a customer at the moment and that's why you sound so detached. You were running for your phone, right? Or maybe you've been doing something else that's got you out of breath, but I don't think so because I'm not here," Harry grins.

Louis laughs quietly too. "Interesting where your imagination takes you. Yes, I have a customer, but I'm sure there's a reason why you're calling and I'd like to know it now."

"Okay, I won't keep you long but… today is my day, foxie. Not only is Liam coming so I can practise but I've just had an enquiry from an artist," Harry begins, grinning happily and telling Louis all about the new events as quickly as possible so as not to keep him waiting too long.

"I'm so proud of you and so happy for you, my rose," Louis finally says when he stops. "You've found something really great to start with and it makes you stand out from the others."

"Yes, absolutely. I can hardly believe it," Harry sighs happily. "I mean, I won't be working with him forever, but it's perfect to make a name for myself again and wow... I don't think I'll have to work as a cam boy for much longer. It just feels so good to know that."

"Yeah for me too," Louis replies quietly.

"Are you coming round tonight?" Harry asks.

"Yep. I'll be waiting for you lying in bed, dressed nicely, after your stream," Louis whispers, giggling softly.
