“okay! I think this is a good spot,” riki declared, examining the area.
the trees swayed in the warm breeze and the branches clanged against the metal fence that surrounded the school grounds. the football field was empty and it was unusually quiet outside, even though classes just finished for the day.
y/n followed behind riki as he stopped in his tracks and took out his camera.
“stand over there,” riki said, pointing to a tree in front of him.
y/n nodded before waddling over to the tree and standing right in front of it.
“ok now what do I do mr. photographer?” y/n asked with a goofy smile, making niki chuckle.
“just do some poses I guess,” riki shrugged, bringing the camera up to his face.
“yes sir!” y/n saluted before doing some simple poses.
as y/n posed, riki moved around her, using the camera lens to zoom in and out. he tried his best to get different angles by lifting the camera high up into the air and by laying down in the grass.
“riki, I’m running out of poses here!” y/n said with a distressed tone.
“don’t worry, I have an idea,” riki replied, which somewhat scared y/n, knowing how mischievous riki can be.
“turn around,” riki said as y/n turned towards the right.
“no the other way,” riki restated, making y/n turn towards the left.
“noo you went too far! go back,” riki demanded, making y/n sigh.
“where do you want me to go nishimura?!” y/n snapped.
“here, I’ll help you,” riki said, putting down his camera and making his way towards y/n.
riki stood in front of y/n and put his hands on her shoulders before turning her body to the left to face the sun.
“ok, now tilt your head up towards the sun,” riki said, backing away from y/n as she looked up at the sky.
“ow! it’s hurting my eyes!” y/n whined as riki picked his camera back up.
“then keep your eyes closed!” riki replied as y/n tightly shut her eyes closed.
“don’t close your eyes so tight! it looks like you’re going to shit yourself,” riki joked, making y/n scoff in annoyance.
“okay now stay there,” riki said, lifting the camera up to his eyes.
“say cheese!” riki exclaimed.
“cheeeeeeeese!” y/n smiled, eyes closed, facing the sun.
CLICK!
riki pulled the camera away from his face to look at the photo he just captured. he traced over y/n’s features with his eyes, examining every detail of the photo.
y/n opened her eyes and glanced over at riki to see him looking down at his camera. she quickly ran over to him, snapping him out of his thoughts.
“did the photo turn out good? or do we have to redo it?” y/n suddenly asked, making riki jump up a little.
“we don’t have to redo it, it turned out great!” riki replied.
“oooh, let me see!” y/n said, peering over riki’s shoulder to look at the photo.
riki lowered his camera closer to y/n’s face so she could see the photo more clearly.
“woah this is so good riki! you’re a really good photographer!” y/n complimented the boy.
“no, you’re just really pretty” is what riki wanted to say, but instead he responded with a simple “thanks” while smiling like an idiot.
“any other poses that you want me to do?” y/n asked, looking at riki.
“hmmm… let me think,” riki said, diverting his gaze away from y/n and looking around the area until he fixed his gaze back onto the tree in front of him.
he looked at y/n, then looked back at the tree, then back at y/n as he formed a question in his head.
“have you ever climbed a tree before?” riki asked, taking y/n by surprise.
“uh yeah but only once when I was younger,” y/n replied to riki’s random question.
“ah okay, you don’t have to if you don’t want to then,” riki states but y/n shook her head.
“no, it’ll be fun!” y/n said before running over towards the tree with riki following behind her.
“are you sure that you wanna do this?” riki asked, slowing down as he approached the tree.
“yep! it can’t be that hard!” y/n replied, leaving a worried expression on riki’s face.
“wait! let me help you up,” riki called out.
“no it’s ok! I got this,” y/n shouted back as she began to climb up the tree, stepping on the trunk with one foot and grabbing onto a branch with her hand.
soon enough she was off the ground and sitting on a thick tree branch, swinging her legs over the edge with a proud smile on her face.
“what are you waiting for? go get your camera!” y/n demanded, making riki laugh as he ran to get his camera.
riki lifted up his camera and took some pictures of y/n as she sat on the tree branch.
he couldn’t help but notice how carefree and happy she looked. her soft hair was blowing in the wind and her smile looked as radiant as the sun.
no—her smile was even more radiant than the sun.
at that moment, she was perfect.
she had always been perfect to him.
riki hesitated before putting his camera back down, as if he didn’t want this moment to end.
“okay, that’s good! you can come down now!” he yelled out.
“okey dokey!” y/n shouted back, scooting closer to the edge of the branch.
“wait! you’re not gonna climb down?” riki yelled, getting closer to the tree.
“no? I’m just gonna jump,” y/n stated, making riki facepalm.
“don’t do that! you're gonna get yourself hurt, you idiot!” riki shouted, standing under the tree branch and looking up at his best friend.
“if you’re so worried then you can catch me!” y/n yelled back at riki, making him just shake his head disappointedly.
“INCOMING!!” y/n yelled, sliding off of the tree branch, fully expecting to land on her feet, which obviously didn’t happen.
instead, y/n landed on riki who was conveniently standing underneath the tree branch, there to break her fall.
“owww! I told you not to jump!” riki cried out, lying on his back.
y/n, who was laying on riki’s stomach, just stayed on top of him and laughed before eventually standing up. y/n reached out her hand and helped riki stand up.
“thanks for catching me,” y/n said whilst laughing.
“more like thanks for breaking your fall,” riki huffed as he rubbed his back.
“hey, at least you got some good photos for your photography project! you are so very welcome,” y/n beamed as riki bent over in pain.
“and I thought this project was gonna be easy,” riki groaned, shaking his head.
“pfft, school assignments are never easy,” y/n stated as the two began to walk back to the entrance of the school.
“well, I didn’t think I was going to be harmed in the process,” riki pouted, basically limping through the field.
“sucks to suck,” y/n shrugged with an annoying little smirk on her face.
“oh yeah? I’d race you to the school right now and easily win if you didn’t break every bone in my body,” riki said sarcastically, crossing his arms as the two continued to walk.
“excuses excuses, you’re just afraid I would beat you like last time,” y/n said playfully.
“that doesn’t count! you cheated last time!” riki said while pointing at y/n.
“no, I’m pretty sure it counts since you paid for my ice cream. which, remind me if I’m wrong, was the loser’s punishment,” y/n stated teasingly.
“ugh,” riki groaned. “I had to waste my hard earned money to buy you mint chocolate ice cream,” he gagged, making y/n cross her arms.
“I know you secretly love mint chocolate, don’t even lie to me,” y/n said, making riki gasp.
“as if!! mint chocolate is disgusting!” riki protested.
“whatever, I guess I’ll just have to change your mind then,” y/n shrugged, looking at riki.
“you could never change my mind about mint chocolate,” riki replied stubbornly.
“fine, then let’s test that theory and go to the ice cream place later. and you have to get mint chocolate ice cream to try,” y/n suggested as riki made a disgusted face.
but he could never say no to her.
“alright deal. but only if you pay for the ice cream this time,” riki said which made y/n giggle.
“ok ok I’ll buy the ice cream,” y/n gave in, which made riki smile.
if only she knew how much she meant to him…
