Caleb.. you really don't think this is a good idea—

"It is. It'll be fine." Caleb reassures you, lifting a hand to help keep yours steady while he makes you hold the phone up in front of the mirror. As he angles the perfect shot, you glance down and see the way you both are sitting on the soft, carpeted floor..— with you snug in-between his long legs.

You feel a heat rise to your ears as he rests his chin naturally on top of your head— and through the mirror ahead, you can see his much bigger figure dwarf yours from behind.

You can't believe he's making you do this—

".. hm.. angle it more like this.." And his low voice against your ear does nothing to help distract you from this embarrassing predicament either.

Caleb—

You feel his chest against your back as he hugs you closer, his arm tightening across your waist. "Really.." Caleb sighs,

"Pip-squeak, please?" He pleads gently, hand gently squeezing your side. "I need to ward off the girls at uni somehow."

Resting his cheek against the side of your head, his eyes meet yours through the mirror. "..and you'd be doing me a maaassive favor."

You and Caleb are doing 'couple' photos.

After just recently entering his sophomore year of college in DAA's Aerospace Academy, an unexpected picture of Caleb started floating around in his campus's forums— bringing with it an influx of fangirls. Caleb has always been popular, and this isn't the first time he's used you to keep other girls at bay. But you two aren't kids anymore, aren't you two a little too old to be pretending—?

"I don't want attention from nobody if given the choice." Meeting your gaze, he playfully pinches your nose. ".. If it was up to me, I'd be happy with only yours."

Feeling helpless, you reluctantly agree. Caleb flashes a winning smile before draping himself over you once more. Lifting your head, you look straight at the floor-length mirror— right at how you two are so intimately posed.

Phone in your hand, and his hand over yours— his thumb hovers over the button. "Smile."
