When we got back from the beach, I was the first to shower. After I showered, I got my Mac and the camera I took pictures of Connor with and began to download them onto my computer. Connor was in the shower, but once he was finished showering, he joined me on the living room couch. His hair was still wet and it drooped over his face. 'Cute.'
Connor leaned on my shoulder, staring into his phone. Since he was completely oblivious to what I was doing, I decided to draw his attention towards my computer screen. "Do you like this picture?" I asked, nudging him a little. He looked up at me beaming, and then proceeded to look at the screen. The picture projected on the screen was a picture of Connor's backside. He was facing the sunset and his hair was being blown by the wind very obviously. You could see the waves crashing on the shore in front of him. What a sight it was.
"Yeah," he responded, "yeah it's actually really really nice." He sat up, showing interest in the pictures. I continued looking through the rest of the beach pictures with Connor. Almost all of them were pictures of him with his back turned on the camera. I stopped on one in particular. "This one." I said.
"Yeah? What about it?"
"This one is perfect."
"Why, because my back isn't turned?"
"Not only that."
"What else?"
"You're smiling."
"Yeah, I'm smiling because you were taking a picture of me."
"That not the only reason you were smiling."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Why else was I smiling?" Connor smirked because he knew what I was going to say. "You were smiling because you were looking at me."
"Wow, humble much?"
"Not so much selfish as it is true." Connor and I laughed. "Yeah well," he started, "you're right. I was smiling because of you." I blushed a little. "You should post it." I suggested. "Are you crazy?"
"Yes."
"Troye-"
"I mean no one's gonna know I took it. And if anyone does know I took it, why would it be such a big deal?"
"Yeah....yeah I guess you're right."
"This picture is so cute." Connor laughed. "Okay," he gave in, "I'll post it."
I sent the picture to Connor, and then watched him edit it to perfection before posting the picture to Instagram with the caption: "i don't alwaysssss look away from the camera"
'He is so cute.'
Connor and I relaxed together on the couch for a while before going back to the guest room to sleep. I was about to get into the bed when I walked in the room on Connor taking off his shirt. I fixed my eyes on him. Connor smiled at me. He was actually shining. "Hey." He said grinning. He wouldn't stop smiling, and eventually I smiled too.
When I saw him I fell in love, and he smiled because he knew.
And wow, what a sight he was.

Author's Note:
Just wanted to clarify that the quote that is the sentence before the last sentence is not mine, I read it on Tumblr a while back and thought it was too beautiful to just pass by :)
The original quote is: "When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew."
Lovely, lovely quote.
Anyway I have a question.
Do you guys think that this fanfic is getting boring as it continues?
It is pretty long, so I was just wondering if anyone may have lost interest in it. Please be honest, I'd really like to know.
Exams are coming up for me, so I will be extremely busy. Updating is going to be hard.
Love hearing your input as always <3
