Vikk's POV It's quite dark out, but this lighting makes perfect pictures.
It had rained earlier today and i knew that the park near my house would be perfect for some spooky and aesthetic photos.
I hold my camera case in one hand and my backpack on my back. The moon light looks so nice right now as a full moon shines over my head.
I notice that there was a single car in the parking lot of the park, but ignore it as there are some who leave their cars there.
Stepping into the park felt different, i felt a string of pain that pulled through my chest. I looked around quickly, seeing if i was being watched.
No one was there from what i could see, so i walk over to the bench. I set my bag down and pull out my memory card, placing it inside my camera.
"Hey stranger" I hear from behind me, scaring me so badly i almost drop my camera. "Holy fu-" I go to say out of panic, only to see a familiar face.
"Lachlan" I say, letting my arms drop from their previous panicked state.
"Heya, funny seeing you here again" He says, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Y-Yeah it is." I stutter, cheeks flushing.
"You never did text me." He says, stepping closer. In that moment, i was scared but also insanely joyful.
I couldn't explain the reason for either of those emotions.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I got super busy. Plus it was only yesterday."I say, sitting on the bench and moving my stuff so he could too.
He sits down next to me, close but not scary close. "It's all good. Since we haven't texted, whats your name?" He asks, sitting back and putting one leg over the other.
"Vikram. But please, just call me Vikk." I say, turning my camera on and looking through it. "Alright.. Vikk. Why are you out here so late?" He asks.
For someone i just met, he sure has a lot of personal questions for me.
"It rained earlier and the rain and moonlight always make for a great photo." I mumble, taking a few shots of the wet climber.
"You really like taking photos huh?" He says softly, trying not to disturb the peace. "Yeah. Its like an outlet for my emotions i suppose" I say with a shrug.
"Wow. Dark" He laughs slightly, sitting up more.
I realized that it was quite in fact dark humor, but maybe that's okay.
"Why are you out here huh? Since you've investigated me enough." I say, mumbling the last part. "Well, for your information," He glares softly
"I walk at night a lot to go sell drugs and smoke them too." He says, looking me dead in the eyes. My eyes widen slightly as i'm taken back by his comment.
"I'm joking, I'm joking. Well, mostly. I do smoke weed a lot out here but its totally medicinal."He says, smiling and pushing my shoulder.
I exhale harshly and glare at this boy, rolling my eyes.
"I'm so sure it is medicinal. Anyway, screw you for scaring me like that and why do you smoke weed? That's bad" I say, standing and kneeling down to get better angles for photos.
"Well. You try having a fucked up home life" He shrugs, covering his fingers with his sleeve.
I look at him for a second as the moon shines down over the left side of his body. "Stay like that." I mumble, kneeling down a bit and snapping a picture.
I open my library and look at said picture. "Holy fuc- Lachlan you look stunning." I smile as i push the camera into his hands.
He looks down at the picture, surveying all the details. "Holy shit. I do look really good. How did you do this?" He asks, smile now apparent on his face.
"I don't know, i think the model does most of the work" I smile up at him, placing my hand on his knee and my other next to him.
He looks down at me, the height difference really coming into play now. He puts the camera on his lap, turning it off first.
I only now see his eyes. Were these the same blue eyes of that Instagram guy?
I sit back a bit and pull out my phone quickly.
"W-What are you doing?" He asks, cheeks blushing from embarrassment. "Are you this guy?" I show him the original photo i saw.
He sits back and looks between my phone and i a few times. "H-How did you find that? I thought i deleted that page ages ago." He says, holding my phone closer to him.
"That is you! Why does it say you're in Australia?" I say, only then realizing the very obvious answer.
"You moved. You moved?" I say then ask him. "I moved. Yes." He nods, handing my phone back to me.
"That is so fucki-. My friend showed me your photo yesterday, before i met you." I say to him, both of us in shock.
We sat there for a second or two until his face changes from scared to more questioning look.
"Whos your friend?" He says timidly.
"Jessica. Jessica Sams"
"Are you for- Shes my fucking online friend. I met her on Instagram a year ago." He says, slouching down in the bench.
"Personal question, are you gay or bi?" I ask him, leaving towards him even more. He nods at me with a soft smile.
"That's why she said or boyfriend." I mutter to myself. I feel so stupid. How could i not have known it was a set up.
"That's why she sent me to the park!" I exclaim. "Yeah but i was already here.. oh wait. I showed her where i was." He sighs, putting his head in his hands.
"Ha. We just got set up together." I laugh, resting my hand now on his thigh.
He looks down at my hand and then slowly back up to meet my gaze. I smile softly at him and bite my lip, tilting my head only a bit.
He smiles big and then cups my face and pulls it to his. I kiss his soft lips and grip his thigh a little harder. He pulls away just a bit to breathe.
"Kiss me." He mumbles on to my lips.
I pull his face into mine, kissing him harder this time only to hear a snap and see a flash beside me. He had taken my camera and taken a picture.
"Enjoy your night shortie" He mumbles onto my lips again and takes off to, what was now proven to be, his car.
I sit on the bench, smiling so wide it hurt. Instantly i pulled out my phone and i texted his number.
Vikk: All that for a picture?
Lachy: Oh, it ain't over cutie. Gotta make you mine first ;)
I hold my phone and smile really hard.
