# 21 Smile
"What on earth do you think you're doing Mr. Knox?"
Ronald kept his mouth shut as he dragged William down the streets of London, looking as if he was searching for something. He had a large smirk on his face and a faint blush, every now and then laughing softly to himself. He knew what he was looking for; it just took a while to get there. And with William and his ever so short span of patience, he needed to get there quickly. They did have a few more souls to reap but the next one wasn't for another twenty minutes, or at least that's what it said the last time he checked his watch.
"Are you going to answer me?"
The blonde walked farther down the street and turn a corner and stopped in front of a small shop, his grin spreading across his face. William looked up and frowned, reading the sign. It was a photography studio, and judging by the way the youth was beaming, he planned on going in. And that's just what he did. He pulled William in and waited at the counter where a woman was sitting. He looked up at them and gave them a small smile.
"Welcome, how may I help you?" William opened his mouth to say something, but Ronald beat him to it.
"We'd like to take a picture together." He blushed slightly and squeezed William's hand. The woman gave a nod and led them to a back room where another couple was taking a photo together.
"Please wait one moment." She nodded and gave a curtsey and walked out.
"What do you think you're doing Knox?" William sighed and shook his head. He didn't have the time for pictures, especially with the fact that the couple currently getting their photo taken was fussing about how they looked and their poses.
"Well, if you've noticed, we haven't taken a proper photo together. Sure, we've taken one as a group with Alan, Eric and Grell, but I want another one. With just the two of us." Ronald shrugged and tapped his foot, obviously getting annoyed with the couple as much as William was. How long did it even take for one photo to be taken?

It felt like forever but finally the couple got their photo taken and they left. The camera man gave a sheepish smile and rubbed the back of his neck and motioned for the two to step up to stand in front of the camera.
"Sorry 'bout that…tough couple back there…" He gave a nervous laugh when William glared at him.
"That's alright, but please hurry. We're on a tight schedule." William gave a huff and the man nodded. He helped the two get into the right pose, already knowing with the way Ronald was holding onto the man's hand that they were a couple. He was alright with it, he saw many same sex couples come in for photos before, but never a pair like this.
"Ready?" The camera man set himself up, his head and most of his shoulders becoming hidden to William and Ronald. The youth gave a small smile, not too happy but at least he had an expression, when William just stared at the camera, the straight look on his face. Ronald looked up and sighed, running his hand up and down William's back.
"Don't look so unhappy, smile, come on." He let his hand travel lower and squeezed the brunette's bottom, earning a slight jump and glare.
"If you keep that up I'll walk right out." William hissed and held onto Ronald's hand. The blond gave an apologetic nod to the camera man and got back into the position he was in before. When the man was about to take the photo, the youth got up on his tip toes and kissed William's cheek softly, and then quickly set himself back. William smiled, a small soft smile, but a smile all together. The flash went off and Ronald went cross-eyed, he was never used to that bright light.
They thanked the man and woman and left the photo shop; a package tucked safely under Ronald's arm, and in that package contained two framed photos.
"You're going to put that in your office, aren't you?" Ronald nodded and kissed William's hand, earning a roll of the man's eyes.
"Yep, and the other one is going in yours."
"You're pushing it if you think that's going in there."
"…Fine, then it's going on the bedside table."
"Fair enough."
