[equivocations]

Would you consider modeling for me again some time?

[eternalgrief]

yes, of course I would.

[equivocations]

Oh, wonderful. They are my best work so far, if the response to them is anything to go by.

[eternalgrief]

Well, you are very talented!

[ Is he getting spammed with the same kind of messages Huaisang is??? ]

[equivocations]

[ Oh, he most certainly is. He is studiously ignoring any insinuations as to the nature of their relationship or bets on whether or not he was way too obvious, but he is paying attention to the actual feedback. ]

Ah, a photographer is only ever as good as the inspiration they get from their subject.

[eternalgrief]

Flattery will get you everywhere.

[equivocations]

Will it? You already agreed to be my model, where else is it getting me?

[eternalgrief]

[ .... ]

It’s a saying!

[equivocations]

[ It's quite possible he's smiling at his phone like a sap right now, it's a good thing he's alone. ]

You know I would never say something just to flatter you.

[eternalgrief]

I don’t know. What did you have in mind for this shoot?

[equivocations]

You know, funnily enough, several of the messages I received in response had an opinion on that.

I thought perhaps you might let me photograph you while you were painting. Make it a theme of the joining of two art styles.

[eternalgrief]

I would be okay with that. Perhaps I should try painting you photographing me. 😂

[equivocations]

🥰 Would you? There's a gallery that's expressed some interest in what I've sent them, and I think they'd love that.

[eternalgrief]

Well, then, I'd be happy to help you.

[equivocations]

Would you like to meet for coffee sometime this weekend?

[ Is that too much? Yes, that's probably too much. ]

To talk about the details?

[eternalgrief]

[ God, could his stomach not do that stupid fluttering thing? ]

Yeah, of course. I can be free for that.

[equivocations]

[ No, if Xichen's is doing it then it's only fair that Huaisang's is too. ]

Wonderful. Saturday, at noon? I can pick you up, if you would like.

[eternalgrief]

Definitely. Call and make sure i'm up?

[equivocations]

Of course. Planning a late night already?

[eternalgrief]

You know me.

[equivocations]

[ Not as well as he'd like to, but he can't say that. ]

Is it a silly question if I ask if you're getting enough sleep?

[eternalgrief]

Depends on why you're asking

[equivocations]

Because I care about you, and I want to make sure you're taking care of yourself. I would want to offer to help if you were not.

[eternalgrief]

[ His heart definitely isn't speeding up, no, nope. Why does Xichen do this to him? ]

lol how would you help?

[equivocations]

That depends, I suppose. Are you having difficulty getting to sleep, or are you purposefully putting it off?
