It’s late.

Sebastian is awake, it’s one of these nights he can’t sleep so he stares out of the window, resisting the urge to smoke just because Jim is in the same room sleeping. It’s almost four o’ clock and the first thread of light filters between the curtains. Sebastian looks back at Jim slowly finally able to see his face, so sleepy and peaceful, as tiny breaths come out of his mouth. His slightly parted dry lips, sweeping eyelashes and basically everything on this sculpted face inspire his inner artist, that artist who only comes out when he’s feeling calm and happy. 

He feels neither of that but this beautiful moment can’t be wasted, so he grabs his notebook and thin pencil from the drawer where he keeps his underwear and sits down on the chair in front of the bed, making himself comfortable. He flicks through his sketches; most of them are Jim’s sneak ones when he works or watches TV, or just some random ones of parts of his face or his body. It’s been a very long time since his last one, but still he hopes that he hasn’t lost most of his talent.

               He finds it quite unbelievable how he knows exactly how to move the pencil to create the first layer of the outline of his face. The lines are soft and yet almost identical to the shape of Jim’s face, Sebastian stares at it before moving on to his lips.

These lips, pale but beautiful and ridiculously symmetrical that he so much likes to kiss, are much harder to draw than he thought because Jim has the habit of opening and closing his mouth very often when he sleeps. After a while he gets mad and is really close to give up but something, something keeps him going even though he’s not famous for his patience, it’s like Jim’s face screams ‘draw me’, and so he does. A while after he moves up to his nose and then his eyes which are closed, but even then he knows it’s going to be a challenge for him. Jim’s eyelashes, long as southern summer and incredibly stunning, make him look more feminine and younger, prettier in Sebastian’s eyes.

He adds every single detail carefully, from the bags under his eyes to the wrinkles that start to form near them, and looks at his almost finished portrait. Quite pleasing, he thinks as he goes over some spots with the pencil. He will never be able to impress him upon the paper, even Da Vinci or Van Gogh wouldn’t be able to because there will always be something missing and that’s his busy mind. You can read his mind through his face but you’ll never be able to do that in a painting, and it would look like a normal man with a peaceful expression, but Jim was everything but normal.

“Why are you staring at me like this?”

Sebastian snaps out of it and feels his ears burn as he looks at the man looking back at him, eyes slightly wrinkled because of the light.

He shrugs. “Don’t know”.

“What’s that on your hands?”

Crap. He should better tell him or he’ll come and see on his own.

“A notebook. I drew you”. His cheeks burn.

“You drew me?” Sebastian can see the excitement in his tone and this tiny sparkle on his eyes that betray his interest. He approves.

“Woke up early. Had nothing better to do”

“Can I see?”

“Sure, but you’re still hairless”.

“Draw my hair then” he sits up quickly and poses, showing off his black messy hair. Why does he have that little smirk on his face that drives Sebastian crazy?

“Maybe another time”
