The Picture

"You mean…Ran Mao?"

Maylene gave Bard a glare that could rival a laser beam. He knew she's just envying her quiet little step-sister because of a man named Lau. Deep down only God knows how much she loved her, well…perhaps those two knows too but they'd never tell. Especially Sebastian, no one could ever tell what's on his mind. Yeah, about that Lau guy, he's a creep and total blunt. That's how everyone would labelled him. The only thing that bothered Maylene is that how her little step-sister could be in company of that guy.

And those two guys would never understand if she tells them why she's envious of her step-sister. Their comments would most probably be "Hell, I'm not a girl," or "Women are another branch of art," or "Are you on period, eh…what's that called MMS?" or "You had too much coffee," or "Did you unmistakably shot a random guy?" or…well, the list goes on. She just knew those two too well. Again, except Sebastian. He's too subtle.

Out of the corner of Sebastian's eye he saw Bard slumped on the couch. Not that he mind, Bard was just a baker in a café. But right now Sebastian really needed his help in arranging the last minute addition of exhibition slots. Some people really liked to have things done at the last minute. Sebastian rolled his eyes whenever he thought of that. And that thought always refers to his superiors. Eh, isn't he a freelance photographer?

"What're you thinking Seb?" Sebastian quickly put his thoughts aside when he felt Bard's foot nudged him. "Huh?"

"Is there a problem?" Maylene peered over at the blueprint beneath him.

"Nothing…I was thinking. That's all." he replied monotonously. Suddenly he remembered something.

"Bard…" the raven haired male said softly as he shook his partner's torso. No response. "Hey…Bard," he tried again, this time harder. Not much.

Sebastian exhaled deeply. Quickly he inches his face closer to Bard's and….

"Hey…your fly is open,"

In a matter of second Bard eyes flew open as he frantically jerked around to see the evidence in Sebastian's voice. Realizing the brunette's pranks he turned his head to glare at the other party though the other party was having a difficult time keeping a straight face.

"What?" the raven haired asked, pouting.

"Fine…here," Bard shoved a fifty dollar bill in front of the raven's face. Sebastian caught the bill with his lips. "Thanmk yuuu," he said through his half clamped lips and strode towards the kitchen happily. Bard sighed as he slumped back to resume his slumber.

"What?" said the blond man lazily as his eyes rested upon tomato red faced Maylene. "I owe him…now, don't start your crazy fangirling moments," he added. Oh, yes…Maylene always had these crazy fantasies and somehow it'll always ended up as Sebastian being the main character. And somehow it'll always annoy Bard as Maylene would accidentally said it out loud and because he would never ever be her main character. Now it sounds like Bard has a crush on Maylene. Eh…

Bard shuddered at his own thoughts.

Not that he didn't like the woman but truthfully said, no one would ever want to be in 10 meters radius around Maylene. Or no one could ever last for 10 seconds around her in that 10 meters radius. Again, except Sebastian, no one ever knew how he had such reflexes. Perhaps he's a ninja, Bard mused.

"Uh oh" a voice was heard in the kitchen. "Bard, did you in any chances…forgotten that you had overtime today?" Sebastian head popped out from the kitchen and met with Bard's puzzled look. "Like today?" he asked.

"No, it's like…now" said Sebastian as he gestured at the wall clock.

Bard and Sebastian looked at each other. "Oh, shit!!! I forgot!!!!" said the blond man as he scrambled on the floor and dashed toward his bedroom. How…oh, William are going to chop his head off for sure.

"Is he working today? I thought it's his day off…" Maylene was still on the floor, watching Bard fumbling around from his bedroom to the bathroom and kitchen, all the while cursing and trying to get on his uniform while searching for the car keys.

"It was…but Finni's on emergency leave so Bard has to go…" Sebastian shrugged. He noticed Bard as he passed him on his way to the front door, fuming. "Oh…no kisses?"

Much to everyone surprise, well, Maylene to be exact, Bard turned around to give Sebastian a peck on the cheek…and then he realizes what he just did and gagged. Sebastian smirked and Maylene was red like the fresh lava from the volcano. "What. The. Hell. SEBASTIAN??!??"

"Nothing, I just like to mess your head," he replied. Not that he liked Bard kissing him but it was fun to mess with Bard. He was really easy to get agitated. And fun when he's angry.

And no ones really know if he ever had any motives behind all his actions. Because as Bard slammed the door shut and Maylene was still on her LaLa Land, Sebastian took out the camera he was hiding on the counter top. He flicked on the photos. "Oh, this should do….hmm…I wonder he's going to bother me again after seeing this..." he bring the camera back toward his room and placed it on his work desk.

Sebastian rolled his eyes. He knew he shouldn't caved in Maylene's plea. Well, Bard's played a part in it too. He's a freelance photographer and doesn't that ring a bell to everyone that he didn't like to be bossed around? Well, duh…

At least this one is over when the art exhibition is done.
