Work Text:
"So.. anatomy eh?" Zero asked while his partner was setting the easel and the canvas. This was for a homework that Tanaka needed to do for the folllwing Thursday
"そう、私には誰かの助けが必要でした" (Yes, I was asked for this type of work, and i needed someone to help) She said, looking at the student.
"You can count on me! Ok, what should I do now?" The british asks enthusiastically.
"裸にならなければならない" (You've have to get naked.) Tanaka sat next to him, looking at the way her boyfriend blushed. It was so wide it could even get to his nape.
"Oh! I mean.. Well, I've never shown myself to someone that way, haha!" he stuttered, then looked at her "Listen, I don't mind helping you to do the painting but i don't know what will you say about.." he caressed the skin under the hoodie before continuing "..my appearance"
The jet black woman frowned a little, but in sadness. Despite they've been together for a year or more, Zero still felt undeserving of her love.
"ゼローさん、よく聞いてください。もしあなたが自分がひどい人間だと思っているなら、それは間違いです。とんでもない間違いです" (Zero, listen carefully: if you think you're horrible, you're wrong, very wrong)
"What if I'm scary to watch? or.. What if you think bad about me? or What if you-" he got silenced with a peck on his lips
"君に悪いことは何もしないよ、約束する" (I won't do anything against your will, i promise.) As she said this, Tanaka looked straight to his eyes.
...sigh
"Alright, i'll undress now" Accepting it, he takes off his hoodie.
"わかった！5分後に戻ります。まず、絵の具を探さないといけないので。" (Ok! I'll be back in five minutes, before nothing, I have to search my paint)
Five Minutes Later...
"ダリン、戻ってきましー.." (Darling, i'm ba-..)
Nori stayed speechless.
There he was, under the light, laying under the bed without looking up.
"Tanaka? Is everything alright? The british said softly.
Meanwhile, she was smiling at the beauty she had in front of her: Was that what he tried to hide for a second? What a mistake..
"ああ、ちょうど始めようとしていたところです。今、じっとしていてください." (Oh yeah, I was about to start.. stay still now).
As she filled the canvas with paint, making the figure of a person she payed attention to every single detail. From his fair skin to his yellow eyes.
"終わりました。" (I'm finished) She said, turning her drawing forward so Zero could see it. He was shocked, is that how his girlfriend saw him?
"No way.. it's so beautiful-.." He tried so hard in not sheding a single tear
"あなたでよ‥"(It is you..) She got closer to him and grabbed his jaw, "別の方法で証明しても構いませんよ。" (I wouldn't mind showing it to you in other ways though) closing the distance between them, now Tanaka was looking at him with pure love.
"N-No, no.. go ahead" He was crying silently as he hugged the other closer to him
First, she caressed his cheeks, wiping the tears off his face. The only thing she asked was "なぜあなたは、私があなたに出会えてどれほど幸せか分かるのですか？"(Do you know how fortunate I am to have you?). She kissed him everywhere. Forehead, the corner of his eyes, eyelids, his cupid's bow and lastly his neck, leaving a small bite there before she put her head on his shoulders "どうしてそんなに美しいの？君に夢中だよ、ゼークン。" (Why are you so beautiful? I'm crazy about you Z)
She stayed with her eyes on Zero, the same work of art in the canvas, but this time that figure was a real person, which is the one she had drawn.
