So...here's a Sydrian drabble. :)

Disclaimer: In a tragic turn of events, it seems to have been brought to my attention that I don't own VA. Damn, I'd kill for Dimitri..or Adrian..or Christian..or Mason..or Eddie. :P


Drabble: Flash!

Sydney awoke to the sound of what she thought was a camera. That's odd, she thought; then again so would anyone else if they heard a camera flash in their bedroom.

As she pondered this thought, she heard it again; only, this time she also felt the distinct flash of a camera behind her closed lids. Confused, she turned on her side to move closer to Adrian, only to be met with thin air. Sydney felt a frown pull at her features and not a second later, she heard and felt the flash of a camera…again.

Annoyed, Sydney finally opened her eyes, only to be blinded by a camera flash. She wasn't going to lie, she nearly lost it. And that's saying something because she usually kept her calm and collected – well, unless it concerned a particular Moroi, then she truly did lose her resolve.

Regardless, after the spots from the flash cleared up from her vision, Sydney was met with a pair of gleaming emerald eyes, glowing with happiness and laughter. She was met with the mischievous eyes of the man she loved; she was met with the distinct eyes of Adrian Ivashkov.

Sydney felt a smile tug at the corners of her mouth and before she knew what was happening, Adrian lifted a camera and snapped a shot, blinding Sydney once more.

After her vision cleared, se frowned and yelled at him,

"Adrian! What are you doing?!"

Adrian merely grinned impishly and snapped another shot, "You're so adorable when you're mad, Sage."

Sydney glowered, "Adrian." She warned him, only to get another round of flashes in her face.

"Oh, come on, Sage. I'm just taking some pictures, like any inspiring artist would."

"Adrian! Can't you wait? I just got up…and mind you, your camera flash woke me up."

If possible, Adrian's grin widened, "Sorry, it's just that you look so relaxed and peaceful when you sleep...I couldn't resist."

Sydney got up and moved towards him, "Well, now you won't have to. Give me the camera, Adrian."

But even before she finished her sentence, Adrian was posing the camera to take a shot and surely, the tell-tale flash followed.

"Adrian…" Sydney says warningly as she tries to maneuver herself in a way to get the camera from him but he was quick to react and wouldn't let it reach her grasp. So after, a while Sydney gave up, trying to reason with him but Adrian cut her off, crashing his lips against hers.

Sydney just stared at him for a moment, snapping into action after he took another shot, "Well, if you want to take some pictures, why not let me look at least a little presentable. I'm a mess. God, Adrian. I just woke up!"

"So..? It doesn't matter. You're always beautiful, Sage. You overlook your beauty – any artist would kill for you. That hair that's like liquid sunshine and those eyes…God, those eyes; Sage, they're beautiful. Like molten gold…with specks of amber – beautiful."

Sydney was touched by his words, and so with new found resolve, she sat up straighter and brushed some of her blond locks from her face and smiled at the camera.


Hope you like it...and also, I'm taking your prompts into consideration and maybe you'll see your ideas in the upcoming shots. Oh, and Twilight407501...I'll try and post on one such shot separately, cause I think it'll be longer, what do you say? :)

And, I got a suggestion from a reader that I should remove the 'Christmas Present' drabbles and post them as a separate two-shot...gimme your suggestions on that matter?

And...REVIEW! The stats show you guys are reading these...and seriously how long does it take to type in a few words? Please, if you're reading my stories, leave behind your feedback - it helps a person in writing.

Aaaanyways...Till next time, loves. :)
