23 - thinking we had

"Look who it is." I said as I caught Daniel's attention and he sighed because I started laughing. "Aren't you happy to see your twin?"

"C'mon kiddo, post with your twin." I said as I pulled camera out and captured a picture of Dani having this unimpressed look on his face while awkwardly smiling. I laughed at the photo I took and then I heard a shutter. I looked up and saw Dani, taking a picture of me. I tried to snatch his phone but he wouldn't budge, even though he's a skinny legend, I'm still nothing compared to his strength.

"Give me that. I look horrible." I really tried to snatch it but I couldn't.

"No, it's probably the cutest one yet on my collection." He said and I feel like he accidentally let that last line slipped because he's shocked as I was.

"Collection?! You creep!" I said as I chase him. I'm still no match for him because my legs couldn't catch up so I gave up and put my hands on my thigh, catching my breath. "Just let me see it please. I know it looks horrible and it's not worth keeping."

"It's worth keeping." He said while crossing his arms. He's really tall but not that tall like he's twin we just saw a while ago but I have to look up at him to really see him. The sun striked my eyes even though my bucket hat provided a little shade. "Promise me you won't delete it?"

It took me a while to decide but I huffed in defeat. "Yeah." He gave me the phone but he's still hesitant to let go the phone. I looked at it and he's not lying that he has a collection of it. He even put it in an album.

"What's the purpose of this? So you could have a different angles of myself to give to the murderer if you decided to kill me." I am really confused what's with this. Even though they're just pictures but they're pictures of me mostly candid.

"That." He laughed and I looked at him. "And for memories."

"Last time an image of me were kept for 'memories', it served as probably evidence to flaunt his friends for a dare." I said.

"No." He pulled me in into a back hug where his arms are around my neck hanging the excess long arms in the air. "You're my best friend right?" He ask and I nodded. "That means that you're special to me and not capturing those moments would really be a waste plus, I'm a self proclaimed photographer and what could be a better subject than my best friend's face."

I feel overwhelmed at his confession because I've seen his shots and really, it was beautiful but me as his subject. I look like garbage.

"C'mon." He released me from his wmbrace and took my hand and my camera. I'm confused at what's his gonna do but I trust him. "Pull my hand and look far away."

I do as he said and a million shutter away and poses that he commanded me to do, I stopped and eagerly looked at it. We've done more shoots like when I got to interact with a monkey and he climed onto my head then he instructed me to make funny faces. We also fooled around like goons and got some odd looks from old people but this is who we are.
