the spring breeze was pleasant against his skin , ruffling his hair & the page of his sketchbook he was working on . his neat handwriting in the corner declares this as ASSIGNMENT 12 , aka the one with 30 gesture drawings .
maybe ryuji just hasn’t done full bodies in a while ( he’s always been more partial to busts ) but 30 of them is , like .. a lot . ESPECIALLY ones in motion . he’s sitting in the bleachers that line the track , tucked comfortably in a gap between the rows , legs stretched out before him . he’s far enough away to be inconspicuous , but close enough to see the runners --- to see one in particular . one that makes up almost 19 out of his 30 drawings , if he just added the long legs to this one it’d make 20 ---
but he can hear footsteps clanking up the metal bleachers & he glances up , & oh . younghyun , sweaty & gorgeous , nothing short of glowing in the afternoon sun .
( it really is unfair sometimes , how good - looking he is . )
❝ --- hey , ❞ ryuji says with a small smile . he’s already half - closing his sketchbook , because he’s paranoid younghyun will SEE & think he’s .... weird . he’d already done his portrait , for god’s sake , what if younghyun thinks he’s , like , OBSESSED with him ??? ❝ are you guys done ? i can finish up here , too . ❞ he hopes he doesn’t sound as disappointed as he feels . he still has 10 more drawings , after all . // @svnnysidevp !!
