i'm watching you

"Alright, let's take some pictures,"

I breathe in shallowly, my heart stuttering as I step closer to the boy beside me. My mind feels like a thousand bees are swarming through it as his arm loops around me, drawing me into his intoxicating hold.

"Perfect... just like that..." the man behind the camera says, "Hey, lean your head on his shoulder, yeah?"

I do as I am told, melting into the radiant warmth that overshadows me. He smells like sandalwood and lemon balm and sunshine.

"Okay, Minho, hold her chin for me, yeah?"

My counterpart hooks his thumb under my chin, angling my face toward his like a sunflower to the brightest star in the sky. I must look completely wilted under the intensity of his gaze, but his smile is gentle and lambent, regardless.

"That's it... you look like you're in love,"

My heart twangs in surprise when these words hit my ears, but Minho's grin grows ever wider. "Yeah?"

"Lean in a little,"

My chest feels like an airbag went off in it as I close the distance. Minho's free hand drops to my waist and hugs me to his torso. Perhaps I'm more deer-in-headlights right now.

"Can we fake a kiss, perhaps?"

Jesus in heaven, help me.

"Is that okay?" Minho murmurs, his fingers sliding up into my hair.

I lean into his touch, sighing very softly. "Yes, let's get it over with."

He leans in so, so close. I count about a dozen freckles on the left side of his nose alone. He's hovering for the picture, but it would be so easy to just... close that gap...

"A little closer, darling. Thank you."

My lips are mere centimeters from his, so close I can taste his chapstick by inhaling. (I believe it's vanilla?)

"Oh, perfect. You two are pure magic, you know?"

A shaky breath staggers out from my lips, but Minho's grin is back.

"Magic, huh?"

The cameraman has already moved on, but Minho and I are frozen in time as we both contemplate finishing what we started.

"You okay? Looking a bit peaky," he brushes his thumb down my cheek affectionately, "Are you uncomfortable at all?"

"I'm okay," I say honestly, "A little nervous. This being my first photoshoot and all."

"Was I a good partner?"

"Yes," I nibble my bottom lip, "You were wonderful."

"Thank you," his other hand is still on my hip, "As were you, my love."

There goes my heart, again. I pluck up a strand of courage and peck his lips before I can talk myself out of it. I feel him smirking into the kiss as he pulls me closer. I can confirm that he is, in fact, wearing vanilla lip balm, and that I am now wearing his vanilla lip balm.

His nose nuzzles mine and I break away with a gasp. "Oh, my gosh, I am so, so sorry-"

"Love," he cuts me off with another soft kiss, "I've been waiting all night for this."

My cheeks flare up and my chest fizzles like someone set off fireworks inside of me. "Really?"

"Yes, silly," he tucks some fallen hair behind the nook of my ear, "I've been waiting for you."

"Oh."

His eyes squint up as he gazes endearingly at my dusty pink complexion. "You look like an angel in this lighting."

"Stop," I groan, pushing against his chest with my palms, "You're embarrassing me enough as it is."

"You two! Come check out these shots and tell me if you wanna redo any of them," the photographer hollers.

"Saved by the bell," Minho teases, and I stick my tongue out at him.

"Actually, I think we should redo those kissing pictures," I jest, pulling away.

"I second that," Minho smirks, making a beeline for the cameraman

"Wait," I dart after him, "Wait, I was joking!"
