Oughhh goddd. Saw those vintage photos again and now I can't stop thinking about Reece and Steve getting one done.... They prolly know some artistic friends who got their hands on a daguerreotype camera and then they have this very private photoshoot that produces only two images - very small - that they each keep somewhere private that won't be found by anyone.

Buttoned up Reece sitting down artfully in one of his beautiful outfits, sleeves rolled up to bare his forearms and Steve bending over so close to kissing his wrist. Reece is looking away and there's a hint of blur from where he fidgeted. His cravat is the tiniest bit askew in a way only Steve would notice. There's a glimmer of brightness from the revolver at his hip, and his lips are curled in a little smile. If there was colour, you'd be able to see a touch of colour in his cheeks.

That one's Steve's - he loves looking at all the tiny signs of Reeceness in it. The ways he's a bit flustered and very loved up that no one else would be able to see apart from him.

Reece's is different. Steve's laid out on a chaise, a book in his lap and small spectacles perched on his nose. He's got an elegant fountain pen in one hand, but both it and the book are forgotten because Reece is leaning forward against the chaise, lips and nose pressed to Steve's neck which is exposed - his collar is open and laying flat, and his cravat is untied about his neck making him look in a state of déshabillé. His head is tilted towards Reece and his eyes are half closed, with a radiant smile on his face, free hand reaching up towards Reece like he's been surprised during his puzzles.

It's Reece's favourite because although he ribs Steve about it, he loves nothing more than to see him comfortable and engrossed in his reading or riddles. He has a softness and an unguardedness about him that he finds irresistible (and also he very much enjoys distracting him from this hehe)
