I had only recently discovered Ilegenes when I decided to read some its fanfics. Imagine my surprise when I saw that there was only one posted (two counting the Naruto and Ilegenes crossover.) So I decided to add to this category with this little fanfic of mine. This manga really does deserve some more.
Pictures:
"Do you have to take a picture of me now?" the boy asked. Another flash of the camera and Fon drew the covers up around his body, throwing his hand up to hide his face.
"I can't help it. You look so cute." Jacques laughed snapping another picture of his lover. Fon shot him a half attempted glare from the crook of his arm.
"Okay, okay," Jacques sighed, "Just one more?"
"No way! You've snapped six already. How many do you need?"
Jacques shrugged. "I really don't think that there's such a thing as too many photographs when it comes to you, Fon." He flipped through the last several pictures saved in his camera, all of Fon; some from that night and some from before. Nearly all of them either had Fon glaring at him or staring in shock at the sudden flash. The rest of them featured Fon with his back to the camera or just looking away.
"I doubt that." Fon said. The boy knew of the other's hobby but he honestly didn't understand why that hobby had to suddenly revolve around him. There were plenty others things to take pictures of, as he had informed the blond. He didn't always have to be taking pictures of him.
"How come? You're beautiful and any sensible photographer would have to be blind to not want to take photos of you." Jacques replied without looking up from his camera. Fon's cheeks tinted a faint pink in a blush which his quickly tried to cover it up with his hands.
"Come on, just one more and I promise not to take anymore pictures of you."
"…You promise?"
Jacques thought for a moment. "Well, for the rest of the night that is. I really can't help it. I look at these pictures and each one spurs a memory within me that I know that I want to hold onto forever, even when we grow old. Some even tell their own stories. I just don't want to pass up on a single photo of you, no matter how irrelevant or stupid it may seem to others."
The blush worsened and in the end all Fon could do was sigh heavily and agree to let his lover take just one more photo of him.
"Really?" Jacques' face lit up.
"Yes, but only if you promise to put that thing away for the rest of the night."
"Alright." Jacques lifted the camera to his eye. "Smile!"
And Fon did so, a small smile working its way to his lips, almost shyly as the camera flashed capturing another image of the youth.
"Now put it away!" Fon ordered, falling back onto the bed and quickly pulling the covers up over his head in case Jacques decided to sneak other picture.
Jacques laughed. He really was too cute.
More meaningless comments:
I tried proofreading this and such so hopefully there weren't so many grammatical errors in this thing. As for the title, I was trying desperately to think of an almost fitting name when the song Maps by Yeah yeah yeahs came on… so, yeah, that's where the idea for the title came from as it's a part of the song's lyrics….
