My Brother's Band || Ashton Irwin

"Ashton..." I heard Maddie mumble, "Move over." I bit my lip.

'What if I wake them up?'

My mind raced. I need these pictures. That's it. I'm going in. I waited until they stopped moving and their breathing slowed, sleep coming over them. Without even thinking my hand was on the door and I was slowly pushing it open. After the door was a fourth of the way open I had a clear view of the bed.

'Aww.'

I stuck out my bottom lip from it being so adorable. Maddie was basically wrapped in Ashton's body. His arms wrapped around her, her arms curled up into his chest under her own chin. "I love you..." She softly mumbled. I pulled out my camera and snapped a couple pictures. Then she started to shift again. I pulled the door back closed and waited. Again, movement stopped and breathing slowed. And again, I opened the door. Except this time I opened it half way and stepped into the room, closing the door behind me. This was almost cuter. Spooning. One of the cutest things in history. His arms still around her body but her back pressed against his chest this time. I took about 40 different pictures from various angles, with various lighting, and various sleeping positions. That was until Maddie's eyes slowly opened. I'm not quite sure if she realized I was there and just ignored me or if she didn't even notice me because she just placed her hand softly on Ashton's face, kissing him softly. During this 3 second occurrence I took about 20 pictures and continued to take pictures as Ashton woke up. "Good morning, gorgeous." Ashton softly mumbled, tugging Maddie ever closer to himself. "Morning, Bear." Maddie smiled and kissed his nose. "D'awwww." I coed. I just couldn't hold it in anymore. Maddie rolled her eyes, "Luke can you please, like, leave?" "No. You agreed to let me take pictures of you while you slept and the only conditions were that I don't wake you up at 6 in the morning. So, one, I didn't wake you up and, two, it's like 10." "Fine." Maddie mumbled and quickly curled back up into Ash's arms. "What're you doing?" Ash laughed. She shrugged and took a deep breath in through her nose, "Sleeping, maybe." And within seconds she was asleep again. Her lips slightly parted and her legs tangled with Ashton's. "Alright, Ashton, I'm gonna take like 15 more pictures then get out." I lifted my camera and began to take pictures before he could respond. "Thank you. Have your peace." And with that I stepped out of the room softly closing the door behind me. I then rushed to my laptop and put the memory card into it. My mind raced as I pressed 'trust', then 'download'. My laptop then became like and art studio. Probably hundreds of pictures began flooding onto the screen. "Whoa." I whispered. I grabbed the paper for my project and re read the guidelines. "Wait." I re read the paragraph once more.

You will need to chose ONE type of love to photograph.

SCORE. I'm done. I just have to print out about 40 pictures, put them into portfolios, and name the portfolios. I quickly put the paper down and began to print off pictures. After 54 pictures had been printed I began moving them into groups. 3 groups. 19 pictures per group. One titled 'I love you', pictures taken while one was saying, after saying or before they said I love you. Group Two, 'Eyes', pictures where the expression on one or both of their faces' conveys all the love needed to describe them. And, last but not least, Group Three. 'The Kiss'. Pictures of them kissing. Pretty self explanatory. and with that I put my piles into folders, put the folders into my bag, and left. Leaving a flash drive on the coffee table with a note saying:

'Thank you for being my project. I owe you one.

xx Luke'

On the flash drive was every picture I took. Available for printing, of course. Or for them to do whatever they please with.
