The Photographer

"…beautiful…"

Under a broken down bus stop, stood a man in his late 20's, holding a rather expensive camera, feeling the cold seeping through from his half wet shirt and soaking socks, he decides he'd better be home before he catches a cold.

Giving a last look at the scenery before him he quickly unlocked his car and climbed in.

"Damn!" he cursed as his phone vibrated while he was struggling to place the key into ignition. He fished out the phone from his left pocket of his jeans and pressed the call button.

"Uh…hello?"

"Where are you? It's the damned monsoon season and you're out?!? Seriously, the exhibition meant nothing without you there!!"

"I'm coming home…anyway, I've got great scene here," said the speaker in playful voice as the other can sense those creepy smirks coming from the photographer.

"Uh…yeah, but haven't you forgotten you're meeting her? I mean, I rather not have her ruined our life here. And I don't care if she's our boss or not."

"Okaaaaay….I am coming home. Now, if you please…I'll be there like…in ten minutes? Okay. Bye." And the man hung up, leaving the other gaping at the phone…unable to create a sentence.

"Okay…time to go home." Sebastian sighed happily as he turns on the ignition and drive home.

As soon as he arrived on the doorstep of his apartment he could hear shouts and the sound of stuffs breaking into pieces.

Bad news.

Sebastian quickly pushed the door opens and what he saw can be described as…epic disaster…with the coffee table flooded everything except the cups, one of the new frame he ordered was broken into two and the railing that holds the curtain was in an 'L' shape.

And it spelled one word.

Maylene.

As he freezes in front of the door gaping at his precious living room, out of the corner of his eyes he saw Bard pushing Maylene out of the kitchen.

"It's alright Maylene, I'd really appreciate if you just sit still and act like a guest."

"Bu-but…I can help with the tea. I-I mean Sebastian must be cold…h-he's probably soaking w-wet since it was raining heavily"

"Ahem."

"Oh…dear God, you're back"

"Wh-wha…ah, I'm really sorry Sebastian!!!!"

Sebastian closed the door behind him softly and began discarding his shoes. "Its okay, Maylene. You should take Bard advice as you are our guest." Bard gave a 'hmph' sound as he watched Maylene sat down while flushing all over her face. Sebastian continued walking towards his bedroom to take off his clothes.

Ten minutes later, all of them was gathering on the floor about 2 meters away from the flooded coffee table, discussing on the new art exhibition to be held next week at the city center.

"It's beautiful, Seb. You really are a gifted photographer." Though Maylene always had these clumsy looking glasses on her all the time, she would take it off when it comes down to discussing the 'real deal'. And she does have good eyesight when it comes to that.

"Wow…you know, if….I mean IF you ever comes across an accident and couldn't make it…just spare me a few pics, okay. And I'll happily carry out your funeral." Bard sighed as he sorted out the pictures to be showed at the exhibition.

"I'd doubt the last part." Replied Sebastian as he altered a few sketches on the blueprint beneath him.

"Seriously…Bard. Hey have you guys seen the lists of guest that'll be attending this exhibition? I mean, there's VIP's and all that but I also heard there will be a few university and college students attending…under the sponsorship, I heard. Rumours had it that these students are the next big thing so…"

"So…?" Bard eyed Maylene cautiously. She had a distressing looks all over her face that even Sebastian noticed and stopped to sip his tea while keeping an eye on Maylene.

"….my step-sister will be there. She's one of the freshmen." Maylene breathed out as she leaned on her elbows. "I don't really like her."

A/n: It's 10.30p.m and my brain was completely dried up. I'm serious. Let me know if you had any ideas popping up. Plus, I'm not sure to make up any pairing in this story.

My mind just went…blank.

Anyway, goodnight n have a nice day ahead ^^
