📸🕊️ for Ilvier and Irieyel
xia's yumeship ask game :: summer edition
IIIH, hi, nonnie! Thank you so much for asking ^-^ Uh, warning, I yapped... A lot™
📸 Disposable Camera — A roll of film from your summer adventure is finally developed. What photos are on it?
Ilvier — Ugh, how do I translate the sweetness into pictures?
Pictures clearly taken by Ilkay:
Xavier in bed, tangled in blankets and looking comfortable and huggable. Xavier pouting or giving him puppy eyes. Xavier walking ahead, followed by a shot of him looking back. Xavier surrounded by nature or petting some stray animal. Xavier's eyes or his side profile next to the background. Xavier looking at the camera, his cheeks stuffed with food. A sunset, some nature, both their hands as they hold something (food, souvenir, etc) for the camera. Silly selfies just because.
Pictures clearly taken by Xavier:
The one blurry picture with Ilkay's gummy smile. Ilkay making lots of silly faces because he's not very photogenic (his >:] face is Xavier's favorite) while posing for Xavier. Ilkay existing; driving, eating, reading something, looking at him with a hand reached out for Xavier to take. Ilkay daring to try something new while Xavier watches....
Candid moments in general because those two can't stop themselves from taking pictures of each other. And the occasional picture taken by a kind stranger as both of them pose.
Irayel — two people who know about photography get put together.... Of course the aesthetics are gonna go crazy.
Pictures clearly taken by Irie:
Doodles done in the sand. Selfies with Rafayel. Pictures of the beach (because yeah, she needs to be close to the beach) Rafayel in the water, Rafayel looking at her, Rafayel sitting next to her, holding out his fork for her to try his food. The sunset or sunrise. The food at the table. Rafayel clinging to her with his head on her shoulder.
Pictures clearly taken by Rafayel:
Just Irie. Intentionally posing at the center of the frame, with differing backgrounds and surroundings or her completely unaware. Eating some food. With a concentrated look on her face while she doodles in the sand or builds a sand castle. Her surfing if she brought her board. Getting ready to go out. In the beach, laying down on the sand while she tans, looking completely relaxed. The beads around her waist, or some seashells on her back/thighs.
🕊️ Warm Breeze — What are some of your favorite things about each other?
This one question was so hard to answer because I kept hesitating with my answers. I kept thinking "at what point does it stop being Rafayel/Xavier and it starts being me being in love with my ocs? It really was a struggle.
Ilvier
For Ilkay: The way Xavier schemes to get closer. Ilkay did tell him that he didn't need the schemes, that he could just ask or take what he wanted– even took the initiative to be direct himself– but at the end of the day he doesn't stop Xavier from scheming because he also enjoys seeing how creative Xavier can get. There's also how Xavier will sometimes say innuendos without blinking twice about it. It took Ilkay a while to get used to it, but he's absolutely delighted whenever Xavier does that. It always makes him snort how Xavier can look so innocent while saying those things.
For Xavier: The many ways Ilkay smiles. The one with the bashful scrunch of his nose. The silly one where he looks like the ":]" keyboard face he likes typing so much. The gummy one that shapes his eyes into little crescent moons and makes him shine so brightly. That smug smirk he does on the rare instances he decides to brag about something he did. The lopsided grin whenever Xavier decides to dare/challenge him on some way... 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️ But then also, Ilkay's quiet determination and confidence. Xavier likes how willing Ilkay is to challenge himself by trying new things and learning.
Irayel
The thing is, both of them knew each other as friends before everything evolved into more so neither of them would be able to answer with something specific (no, this is not a cop out answer, I sWeAr) They'd mention each other's perseverance and determination, their creativity and problem solving, etc. They have that attunement to each other.
.... Irie would say his laugh because it's so bright and happy. It always makes her laugh along.
(One thing about them is that whenever she laughs, Rafayel laughs, and whenever Rafayel laughs, Irie laughs. You know, the typical "can't hear the other laugh or they'll break and fall into a heap on the floor" type of shit friends go through because they find each other's laughs hilarious.)
And then Rafa... Her hair and all the things she does with it. He loves helping her style it and even does it by himself when she allows it.
