Spoils - miscellaneous

And

a

one,

and

a

two:



- I love how a simple gesture could have meant so many other things - their cuddle. Na-kyum is being held over the blanket by Seungho. This is, at the same time: very cute and comforting (almost postPTSD), for S., but confusing, uncomfortable and new, for N. It is both an intimate and, given their story, a controlling gesture. Had it been an embrace under the blanket, it wouldn't have had the same weight: it would have been too involved for their current relationship, too weak on S.'s part, even... artificial. But exactly like this... it evokes S.'s NEED to grab hold of N., to have him so he doesn't run, but also to protect him, while he's exposed. It's both strong and weak and I love it.
- again - a simple pose that speaks volumes: N. plopped in his room. What is his role in this story, what was that all about, how to take in all of this? Btw, I'm sensing some questions from N.'s part about this, or even some negotiations of some sort, things have shifted too much. The night ended with, once again, an unfinished painting. But mainly Na-kyum seems at odds with being idle. Spidey senses no 2: overpowered S. may have an equally observant and powerful nemesis that eyes Na-kyum... and maybe frees him? or makes it possible, only to see Seungho squirm.
To be seen.

- those dazed eyes and the tiny little droplet of drool in the corner of Na-kyum's mouth ... is a sight to bask in. And the world stood still, and all was well, for a moment.
