Photobooths
“Can we?” Neil tugged at their linked hands, gesturing at the obscenely colourful photo booth.
“No,”
“Oh okay,” Neil’s face fell for a split second and then a smile was back on his face. Neil began walking away but Andrew hadn’t moved.
“Andrew?”
“You owe me at least ten pints of ice cream,” Andrew said before pulling them towards the photo booth. Andrew pointedly ignored the beaming smile on Neil’s face and that disgusting look he gave him.
Neil grabbed a bunch of headbands and props and Andrew shook his head. After a long stare off, Neil triumphantly got two foxes headbands, one pink and one blue. The blue one matched Neil’s eyes and it definitely did not make Andrew feel anything. Carefully, Neil put the pink one on Andrew’s head after asking yes or no.
Finally they settled down in the photo booth. For the first frame, Andrew flipped off the camera with a bored expression, Neil did the same, middle finger raised with a blank expression. The photo would’ve been scary if they weren’t wearing the ridiculous headbands.
The next frame, after asking, Neil put his arm around Andrew’s shoulders and flashed up a peace sign. Neil’s wide smile and Andrew’s grumpy look made the photo almost comical. Neil stared at the photo with such a fond look that Andrew had to wipe it off his face.
“Yes or no?” Andrew asked, Neil immediately turned his attention on Andrew, as he always did whenever Andrew spoke.
“Hmn, yes?” Neil said, perplexed.
Andrew brought his hand behind Neil’s neck and pulled him down until their lips met and Neil let out a little sigh. The kiss was long enough that a photo was taken. Andrew pulled away first, their breaths still mingling together, foreheads touching. Neil had the most disgusting smile on his face and Andrew was scowling hard at him. The fourth picture was taken without them noticing.
“Thank you,” Neil said, looking at Andrew like he hung the stars and moon.
“Shut up, 374%”
Neil laughed. He stepped away and went to choose the frame for the photos. Neil chose a bright orange one even when Andrew threatened to bury him six feet under with his bright colours.
The photos were printed and Andrew wanted to cut the last two photos out because no way he ever looked that soft and no fucking way he’d ever look at Neil like that. But the look on Neil’s face made it all worth it.
Neil was tracing their faces as if he couldn’t believe that it was real. That there was proof that Neil josten existed with Andrew minyard.
Andrew gave Neil a few moments before snapping, “you owe me ten ice creams,”
Neil’s smile should have blinded him by now, “okay,”
The extra big sundae and ten pints of ice cream brought back made it almost worth it. But it was the way Neil carefully cover the photo in plastic so it wouldn’t gather dust and then put it in his safe that did make it worth it.
And if Andrew kept his in his wallet then no one had to know.
