His fingers itch with the thick flow of paint through his body as if it was a second bloodstream, sending his heart pounding in technicolour. He maps each perfect ridge, a symphony of hues washing over the once-blank canvas like a wave. Regulus meets those sunlit eyes, holds them like a gift he doesn’t know if he deserves. He could get used to looking in James’ eyes.

His chisel moves with forewarned freneticism, desperate to unearth the boy’s features from unwieldy marble. The lithe slope of his arm as it dangles softly over the table, the way his dark curls pool under a pale cheek. His hands map the glittering marble; the unearthed slope of his waist, hips nestled in the stern of the ship James carves roughly around him.

’You’re supposed to be focusing on the background, darling. Don’t get lost in the figure yet.’

The chisel pauses, the marble takes a shuddering breath at the cessation of its exhumation.

‘Let me be lost if it means I can look at you a little while longer.’
