Photographs (MY FIRST ONESHOT FIC YAAA-)
Description: During the summer at the Rose family household, Rue, Carrie, Ominis, and Sebastian decide that they want to capture some memories they can store in a drawer and show their grandchildren when they grow up.
Disclaimers: My first time writing a oneshot, may be cringe lmao.
Carrie sits in a velvet cushioned chair while reading a book about vampires. Sebastian and Ominis are whispering about some stupid drama that happened during their 5th year as Ominis rolls his eyes and Sebastian smirks. Rue sits on the ground hopping up and down in place. He holds a wooden camera, bulky and smooth. As he looks up, his eyes scan around the room.
“Hey Seb,” Rue said loudly, “Do you know how to use a camera?”
“Uhhh yeah?” Sebastian glanced his way.
Rue grinned and handed it to him. The camera clattered into Sebastian’s pale, freckled hands. Ominis let out a hgh! in response to the noise. Rue walked over to Carrie, his hands tensing, and he grabbed the roots of Carrie’s strawberry blonde hair, ruffling it until it was reminiscent of a bird’s nest. She let out a high pitched shriek.
”STOP IT! YOU’RE SO ANNOYING!” She laughed.
Ominis chuckled as he clasped his hand on his mouth. Sebastian’s snorting made him lose balance and his hands shaky. The camera let out a flash and a crackle.
Rue, Carrie, Sebastian, and Ominis were sitting under an apple tree. Rue is singing in Tagalog while playing his ukulele. Sebastian gaze is lost in Rue’s eyes, so lost in fact that he almost dropped the camera into the damp grass. Carrie claps along to the rhythm as she hums a low note. Ominis’s head is directed up at the tree, which beared a red, shiny apple.
“Something wrong Ominis?” Carrie looked at him, fiddling with the lace of her white dress.
“I just want that apple.” Ominis mumbled, “looks good- but it’s too high up.”
“Stand up.” Carrie demanded, with a oddly mischievous glint in her eyes.
Ominis did as she said with a sign, brushing off his knees, and before he could say anything, Carrie grabbed his shoulders. Rue let out a little ‘oop!’. Sebastian snorted.
Carrie hopped up- using Ominis’s shoulders as a boost- as she clawed at the apple. She snatched it with her finger tips and she let out a sound of victory- before she fell on top of Ominis.
Ominis let out a high pitched scream. Carrie got up, coughed, and held up the apple.
”What was that?” Rue snickered.
Ominis grabbed the apple from Carrie’s cold, flushed arms and threw it at her face.
“WHAT THE HECK CARRIE!” Ominis screamed, but instead of the roar he hoped, it came out as a squeak.
As the apple hit her, a snap and a flash of light erupted from Sebastian’s hands.
”Got that!” He held up the camera with a grin.
“Were you seriously waiting for that?” Carrie scoffed.
”It was inevitable~!”, Rue sing songed.
They all walked back to the household, Rue and Sebastian racing back and stumbling as Carrie and Ominis hung back, walking slow.
“Carrie,” Ominis rubbed the back of his neck, “I wanted to grab the apple for you- because you mentioned you like apples.” He rushed the last bit.”
Carrie let out a scoff as her face flushed a light pink.
“I appreciate it.” She whispered.
My thoughts: I hope you guys like it..? PFFT- Many people I follow (and who follow me) write fanfic (AND ARE REALLY GOOD AT IT!) so I’m really embarrassed by this. I *did* try to make it a little bit more grounded so I snuck in a little historical reference- in Ancient Greece, throwing a apple at someone was considered a romantic gesture, a sign of love or even a marriage proposal.
If you guys want a “photographs” sequel, I’d be more that happy to write it :)
