The day had been filled with lots of time to spare and nothing offered to do. Not that anyone intended that, no, it actually was supposed to be a rough day of photo shooting, shiny silver in place, every strand styled and eyes covered in black. Thing was, there was no electricity. Thing was, they’d run out of candles that weren’t meant to burn down unless the camera was capturing it.
One, though, was claimed by Ruki. He placed it on a paper plate, lightened its flickering flame and leaned back in his scrubby chair, a soft smile on his lips.
He had no idea where the others went, probably looking for flashlights. He fished for a cigarette in his oversized purse.
Somehow, he liked this. It was quiet for once.
There was Reita, sitting down on the chair next to him, not too close, not too far, but not feeling right either.
“You know, when it comes to trying too hard, you, Reita, are the epitome.” Ruki exhaled slowly, his eyes fixed on the restless flame.
At first, Reita just frowned in confusion. It didn’t sound like Ruki wanted to tease him. It was a softly spoken fact, more or less. He waited for him to continue, but all the vocalist did was smoking, slowly, unattached from time, as it seemed.
“Excuse me?” The sight of Ruki lost in candlelight really was something.
“You’re trying too hard.” Just for a moment, he looked into Reita’s eyes, going back to the little source of light in no time. “You’re just like this cheap candle.”
“Do I want to know what you’re referring to?”
“You do, you absolutely do.” A hint of a grin. “Like this candle, you try your best to give a steady light, to compose yourself. You’re trying too hard, though, you’re shaking and showing way more than you intended.”
Oh, did Reita ever feel awkward.
“You’re trying so hard to be professional and friendly with me that you have no idea how flirty your insecurity actually is.” He slouched a little more on his seat, his eyes solely watching Reita now.
“Just ask me out already, will you.”
