Elios Quinn

The sun dipped lower into the ombre sky, casting an ethereal honeyed glow over the blooming nature, painting the park with hues of gold and amber as Elios breathed in the fresh spring breeze.

It was a perfect day to capture the blooming petals scattered across the scenery, the perfect lighting for shots he was certain would be his best work yet.

Carefully, he made his way across the park, his eyes grazed the lush green for a perfect patch of florals. Thankfully, people were already clearing out as the sun set. He wouldn't have to deal with them in the background of his shots this time. With a little searching, he found a vibrant patch of flowers, the sun casting an angelic glow across the petals. he crouched carefully into the grass and made quick work to adjust his camera settings, bringing his eye to the view finder as he focused. he took a deep breath and steadied his hands as the gentle breeze brushed over the leaves above.

Eli's heart quickened as he framed the perfect shot, the interplay of light and shadow dancing upon the petals like poetry in motion.

Lost in his reverie, he barely noticed the figure approaching until they stepped directly into his line of sight, obscuring the flowers with a pair of legs through the viewfinder. Startled, Elios looked up with a quirked eyebrow. Confused for barely a moment before his eyes widened. His heart stopped with a thud and he nearly dropped his camera.

The view before him was no doubt a million times more stunning than the flowers had been. The oblivious person that had blocked his view was breathtaking, filtered rays of gold through their hair captured them in a frame so unbelievably heavenly that he almost forgot how to breathe.

Shit, they practically glowed brighter than the setting sun.

Their gaze had met his and an apology left their lips as they realized their interruption, preparing to move out of the way.

"W-wait! Stay... right there... Can I photograph you?"

He cringed internally as the words left his mouth. Nice going Eli, you definitely don't sound like a fucking creep.

He held his breath as they stilled with a puzzled expression, and he waited for their answer.
