Pairing(s): NaruLuz

————————

A pink haired male was sitting on the bench in the courtyard, his elbows placed on his knees while his palms supported his head that rested peacefully on them. He watched classmates walk around, chatting; a few under the cherry blossom trees, some sitting on the edge of the fountain, others minding their business and eating lunch.

He shifted his eyes at the pink cherry blossom petals that fluttered through the bright blue sky, softly swaying along, dancing their way towards the ground with the occasional breeze blowing them to stay a little bit in the air.

The male admired the normal yet beautiful scenery, after deciding that he should head back to class he got up, only to be tackled into a hug by a taller male.

"Nqrse~ there you are~"

Nqrse just chuckled as he slightly turned his head to look at the light haired male. The male was so happy to see him that Nqrse could mistake his face to that of an eager dog.

"You know you could've texted me to ask where I was," Nqrse said in an amused tone as Luz sheepishly smiled.

"I did, but then Mafu saw it light up and realized that your phone was in his bag."

"Eh?" Nqrse gave the male a confused look while Luz nervously laughed.

"We were gonna prank you by taking your phone but you didn't even notice it was gone and we kinda forgot about it."

Nqrse just rolled his eyes in amusement, "do you at least have it now?"

Luz handed the male his phone, sheepishly smiling while Nqrse noticed the flyer in the light haired male's hand.

"What's that?"

The light haired male looked at what he was pointing at before grinning.

"Oh right," Luz gave him a cheerful smile, "I saw that there was a little photo contest going on and I wanted to see if you were interested~"

"Eh? Why me?" Nqrse tilted his head in confusion as the light haired male beamed even more.

"Because you're constantly taking pictures whenever you want, and you enjoy photography so I thought that maybe you should try~"

"I'm not the best photographer though," Nqrse sheepishly stated as Luz laughed.

"Better than Soraru at least."

"I'll tell him you're making fun on him."

"Please don't."

Nqrse chuckled at the male's pleading face, "so what's it about?"

He was curious about the contest, plus he could tell that the taller male seemed excited about it.

"There are categories that people can choose and they have to take a few pictures about it. Then the judges vote on who they think took the best photos that captured the emotions and theme of that category, their pictures get hung on the board in front of the library. There's also a reward for the winners."

"Well why don't you do it since you seem to be excited about it?" Nqrse curiously asked as light haired male shook his head.

"No, no, no, you do it. Everyone needs to see your amazing photography skills~"

"Again, I'm not the best photographer..."

"Please~"

Nqrse rose his eyebrows as the light haired male continued to pester him, he found his pleading face to look adorable and after a few more pleads he eventually accepted the taller male's request. It was hard for him to ignore Luz's irresistible puppy-like expression.

Luz cheered as he grabbed his arm and dragged him to where he saw the sing up sheet, Nqrse just shook his head in amusement. I can see why Mafu and Soraru see him as a dog.

The two arrived at the area, they looked through the couple of themes listed on the paper. Luz occasionally making comments on some of them, Nqrse listened to him as he constantly looked back and forth between the options.

"Why not cuteness~" Luz teased, "then they'll just be pictures of you."

"I think Sakata or Mafu fall more into the cuteness range than me, maybe Senra too if you count him," Nqrse jokingly commented as the light haired male pondered.

"Then ikemen?"

"So just have pictures of Urata, Soraru?"

"I mean since some of the judges are going to be students, they'd probably choose them."

Nqrse playfully rolled his eyes at the comment as he continued to scan through the list, pondering over which one caught his attention the most.

The list varied through themes ranging from cute animals to places in the city to school life to adjectives. After looking over and over at the list he noticed he kept looking back at a particular word. He thought over his decision before nodding to himself.

"So did you decide?" Luz asked, noticing the pink haired male's smile.

"Yep," Nqrse wrote his name on the paper and the theme he choose.

"Let me see~" Luz peeked over the male, spotting the word 'love' under the theme chosen box.

"Oh~ love~"

"I mean there are different types of love out there," Nqrse said as he smiled at the male, "so I want to be able to express what I love the most through the photos."

"You can have one photo be about platonic love, then another about family love and so on." Luz suggested as Nqrse smiled.

"I was kinda thinking the same thing."

Luz grinned at the male's words, he could feel his heart flutter at the pleasant smile on Nqrse's face. He seems excited to do this, and he was going to reject my offer earlier~

"Well I have two weeks to take the pictures, that should be enough time."

"I can't wait to see them~ They'll be pretty no matter what since you're the one that took them~"

"And you're going to help me," Nqrse stated as the light haired male tilted his head.

"Eh?"

"Don't think you can drag me into this and just leave," Nqrse teasingly smirked as the light haired male let out a short laugh.

"I guess I should've expected that."

Luz hugged the male as a puppy-like smile crossed his face, "okay~ I'll be your assistant."

Nqrse just playfully sighed as he noticed that the light haired male didn't seem to want to let go of the hug now. Well, I guess I better start thinking about what exactly I'll take pictures of. I might as well ask the others on their thoughts.

≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛

"Eh, love you say~" Senra teasingly said in a singsong voice as the pink haired male rolled his eyes.

The pink haired male was with his friends as they headed to the albino's house. Nqrse looked up at the sky, sunlight shining down with the peaceful chirps of birds being heard as his small digital camera dangled around his neck.

"You can just take a picture of anything and say that you love it." Kashitaro suggested as the purple-haired nodded his head.

"Kashi's right, they won't know and it'll still fit the theme."

"Unlike you guys I doubt Nqrse would just lazily take pictures," Urata said as the two males sheepishly smiled.

"Nqrse only accepts the prettiest of pictures." Amatsuki jokingly teased as the mentioned male playfully rolled his eyes again.

"You can just take pictures of these guys," Sakata playfully suggested as he gestured to the raven-haired and albino, "since they're sooo in love with each other, they're the perfect subjects~"

"E-Eh? S-Shut up Sakata!" Mafu stuttered while Soraru gave the redhead a blank look.

"How about you an–"

"W-Why not take a picture of that cat that you love?" Sakata quickly said as he covered the raven-haired's mouth, "or sceneries you love like maybe a sunset."

Soraru removed the redhead's hands from his mouth, slightly glaring at him.

"Oi, what was that for?" He lightly bonked the redhead's head, Sakata just sulked as Luz grinned teasingly.

"Someone's embarrassed about something~"

"Maybe because he's just too shy to, oh I don't know, maybe admit possible feelings to a certain tanuki~" Amatsuki cooed while poking the short brunette, who gave him an annoyed side glance.

"Quit it."

"C-Can we continue talking about Nqrse's photos?" Sakata wanted to quickly switch the topic which made the pink haired male laugh a bit.

"Well you have something in mind, right?" Shima asked as the pink haired male responded.

"I was thinking about having different types of love like platonic, family, maybe some animals I love and stuff like that."

"If you do romantic love then I also volunteer Soraru and Mafu."

"Seriously?! You too?!!?" Mafu exclaimed in slight annoyance, his face flustered at the suggestion. "W-Why not Shima and Senra?! Or even Kashi and Amachan?!"

"Hey don't drag us in this!"
"I volunteer Urata and Sakata."
"I didn't even tease you about it!"
"Just let him take pictures of you two!"

The raven-haired just pinched the bridge of his nose as the others began to tease and bicker about it. Nqrse chuckled before glancing at his camera and smiling to himself. He snapped a few pictures while the others were unaware. He looked at them and smiled again, laughing at his friends' antics.

"I can assume you got your first photos." Soraru said in amusement as the pink haired male nodded his head.

"It's just nice seeing their expression and how happy they are even though they're all teasing each other." Nqrse teasingly smirked at the raven-haired, "though be prepared because I might listen to Luz and Sakata's idea."

"I'll punch you if you do that."

"Have fun watching your back~"

Nqrse smirked at the male's annoyed and embarrassed face. He glanced back at the couple of photos he took, a warm, gentle smile appearing on his face. I do love these guys.

≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛

Nqrse and the other three just watched the short brunette scold the redhead. They were in the library after school, the others left and Nqrse decided to stay by, mostly cause the light haired male begged him to join them, saying that he could possibly get more pictures.

Though this is more like a triple date rather than a study session. Nqrse thought as an amused smile made its way to his face. Well maybe I can get some more cute moments between them. For the contest and for blackmail~ He had already taken pictures of the other guys with their special someone.

"I'm still amazed at how you managed to get photos of us." Mafu stated as the pink haired male grinned.

"I have my ways~"

"That's frightening..." Mafu gave the light haired male a scolding look, "I blame you for distracting me."

Luz just laughed, "I just did what I could so Nqrse could get them~"

Nqrse teasingly grinned at the raven-haired, "now you have to be nicer to me when we play games or else I'll show these pictures so people can see the usual sleepy and cold Soraru being all cute to his boyfriend~"

Soraru just sighed in defeat as the light haired male giggled at the taunt. Mafu whispered to the pink haired male.

"So are you trying to get Urata and Sakata too?"

"Though with Urata's personality it's hard to get him to drop his guard like Soraru since he's not as much as an airhead as him."

"Oi." Soraru glared at the pink haired male.

"Soraru save me from the angry shortie~" Sakata jokingly hid behind the raven-haired while the short brunette glared at him for the comment.

"How about you two quit flirting so we can leave?"

"We're not flirting!" The two males shouted, Soraru winced as the redhead's shout was close to his ear.

"You guys really want them to kick us out of the library..." Luz commented on their loud voices as the raven-haired lightly smacked the redhead for almost breaking his eardrums.

"So are we free to leave now?" Mafu asked as Urata sighed.

"It's this idiot's fault, I'm tired of having to repeat things to him."

"Or maybe you were just pretending to be annoyed just to stay a bit longer here with him because you love him and cherish the small moments with him~" Luz said as he grinned.

"Luz."

"I was just joking, stop glaring at me like that."

"I wonder how people like you and Soraru can have someone fall for them." Nqrse playfully taunted, receiving glares from the mentioned males.

"Soraru isn't as bad as Urata, he's less sadistic than Urata." Sakata childishly stuck his tongue out at the annoyed short brunette.

"Well let's go before we get yelled at because of you two." Soraru got up, followed by the others as they left the school.

"Urata and Sakata are stubborn when they want to be." Nqrse said to the light haired male as they walked home together.

Their hands were intertwined as they walked at a slow pace to spend more time together before they parted. Luz would occasionally swing their arms back and forth playfully.

"Anytime I found the perfect moment where they looked like a couple, either Urata immediately covered it up or Sakata did something that resulted in annoying Urata." Nqrse jokingly sulked.

"It was tiring trying to get the perfect moment," Luz sighed before perking up as he saw something, "but maybe now's the chance~"

Luz pointed at the short brunette and redhead that were a bit further ahead. The two were happily chatting, with the redhead linking his arm around the shorter male who didn't do anything to push him off.

Nqrse smirked as he took the picture, grinning when he got to capture their cheerful and loving expressions, "Urata's going to kill me later but it was worth it~"

"There's no way they can hide it anymore," Luz playfully said, "they're going to have to admit it~"

"Well, at least I got that out of the way," Nqrse grinned, "a couple more pictures then I'll just sort through them and decide which ones I want."

"Maybe just pick all of them about the guys that way the whole school can see how lovey-dovey they can be~"

"And have them all plot my murder, no thanks. At least I only have to worry about Urata potentially killing me." Nqrse said as Luz chuckled.

"Of course Urata's the one to fear the most."

"Well, see ya Luz," Nqrse said as he was about to walk away to head to his home before the light haired male hugged his arm.

"Wait don't leave me~" Luz pleaded, "I actually need help with the homework so can you help me~"

"Didn't you just say you got to finish it at school," Nqrse rose his eyebrow as the taller male continued to look at him pleadingly.

"I want to spend more time together~"

"Okay fine, I'll spend the night at your house today," Nqrse gave in as the male beamed in satisfaction.

"Yay!"

"But you take my place when Urata tries to kill me."

"Wait! What?!"

Nqrse just chuckled as the light haired male let out a small sigh. As they headed to the male's house, Nqrse glanced at the taller male that was happily talking, not paying much attention to what was around him. The pink haired male glanced at the camera, lifted it up for a second before letting it hang around his neck again as a soft chuckle escaped his lips. He looks cute whenever he's like that.

≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛

Nqrse kicked his legs back and forth as he sat on the swing. The sky was changing from its cyan color to a shade of orange and yellow. He had walked around the town to take a few pictures as the deadline was approaching slowly.

He smiled at the shots of cute animals and beautiful scenery that he got. I wonder if these are good enough. He looked back at the couple of pictures of his family and some more of his friends.

He laughed as he remembered having to hide from the short brunette, because Luz accidentally slipped up and told him about the photo. At least now those two can stop denying that they're dating~

He looked at the other photos he took, smiling at the cheerful expression on the male's face. Just like how Sakata is Urata's puppy, Luz is my puppy. Nqrse smiled as he held the camera close to his chest, glad that he was able to get these photos of the light haired male being his cute self.

"Well, I think I'm done, I'll develop all the photos later."

As he walked he pondered about the contest. Even if I don't win I at least had fun taking pictures. He looked back at the picture he got of the raven-haired playing with the sleeping albino's hair, grinning playfully. Plus I managed to get great blackmail on the others because of this.

"Nqrse~"

The pink haired male almost lost his balance as the taller male had tackled him into a hug.

"Luz, please be aware of your height before you end up sending us crashing to the ground one day."

Luz just laughed as he let go of the male, "so how did taking the pictures go?"

"I think I've gotten enough," Nqrse smiled, "all that is left is picking the ones to submit."

"Have fun with that~" Luz said as the pink haired male playfully rolled his eyes.

"I'd say you that you're gonna help me but I decided I'll keep it a secret from you and the others."

"No fair~ I helped so I deserve to get a sneak peek at the ones you chose."

"Nope~"

Luz playfully sulked, Nqrse gave him a small kiss on the cheek causing him to blush as he sheepishly covered his face.

"That stopped you from sulking."

"Meanie," Luz stuck his tongue out as the pink haired male rolled his eyes.

"The sunset looks pretty amazing today." Luz pointed out as the pink haired male looked up.

"It always looks like this."

"But it still looks amazing~"

Nqrse let out a small chuckle as he watched the light haired male stare admiringly at the sky. He couldn't help himself staring at the adorable shine in his eyes that he took a picture of the male. Luz noticed the flash out of the corner of his eye and tilted his head.

"What'd you take a picture of?"

"Maybe something that looked too beautiful to not take a picture of," Nqrse bashfully smiled as the taller male stared at him, "it also might be special to me."

Luz blushed again and was about to say something until Nqrse teasingly smirked.

"The sky obviously."

"Hey!"

I think Urata and Soraru are starting to rub off on me in terms of bullying their boyfriends. But it's kinda fun so I can tell why they do it. Nqrse just laughed as he walked ahead, leaving the annoyed light haired male behind, who quickly went to catch up to the male, still annoyed at the remark but smiling nonetheless.

≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛ ≛

The pink haired male sat on his bed, all the photos spread around as he looked through them, all he has to do now is choose between which ones hell submit tomorrow, which would be easier said then done. As he looked at them he found it getting harder and harder on deciding on which ones to pick.

I really just want to choose the pictures of the guys all being lovey-dovey but then I'm just asking for a death wish. Nqrse chuckled a little as he picked up the photos of the guys and moved them to the side. I'll just keep these for future blackmail~

He looked back at the other photos, picking them up, staring at them intensely before putting them back down and picking up another photo, rinsing and repeating the action for a couple of minutes.

I could say that these are the things I love or should I say that these are things that most people love in general. Which one would be better? Maybe I should've let Luz help me.

He glanced at another pile of photos he had, staring at it in silence before smiling. I think I found the perfect ones. They mean a lot to me and I love every single one.

He picked the photos, slightly blushing as he felt embarrassed yet was happy with this decision.

Wonder how they'll react...

It was the next day, the others just waited for the pink haired male to arrive. Mafu perked up when he saw Nqrse enter the room.

"So which pictures did you choose~"

"You'll see after school," Nqrse teasingly said, "that is if I'm picked as one of the winners."

"Aw you didn't show us the photos before submitting it~" Amatsuki whined as the pink haired male rolled his eyes.

"If it's the pictures of us I'm giving you ten seconds to run." Urata said as Nqrse waved his hand dismissively.

"You can relax I didn't choose those, but I still have them so you guys better be nice to me or else I'll be forced to bring them out, especially you Soraru!"

"Eh?"

"I'll say this, the photos are special to me." Nqrse smiled as his eyes landed on a specific male.

Soraru noticed the gaze, slightly confused before it clicked in his head after thinking about it for a second.

"How cheesy."

Nqrse just blushed with a smile on his face while the others gave the raven-haired puzzled looks.

"It matches the theme, I think the judges would quickly understand why."

Luz just glanced back and forth between the two, wondering what they meant. He spent the rest of the day trying to ask the pink haired male about it but Nqrse just gave him a teasing smile. When he decided to annoy the raven-haired, he gave up as the male wouldn't budge.

Once school was over Luz passed by the board, a quick glance and he spotted the pink haired male's name, causing him to smile. Nqrse won! I should probably find him to tell him.

He looked at the pictures, blushing once he realized what they were before smiling. So that's what they meant.

"How sweet Nqrse~" Luz said as he eagerly went to look for the male.

The photos were pictures of him, when they were with the others, some from their dates, others of just him not noticing as he was paying attention to somethinn else. He could tell just by looking at them that Nqrse was most likely smiling when taking them.

A small caption was written along with the photos.

Sometimes the simplest moments are the most loveable. They're precious to me and I love them as much as I love him.
