Work Text:
-Tim is always ready and willing to help you with anything. You need someone to draw? Just tell him how to pose. You need to take a trip to some obscure store to get something? He’s coming too and you’ll make a day of it
-He loves watching you create. He knows you get a little testy about it, never wanting anyone to see your work until it’s finished, so he’s perfected watching you while pretending to do something else.
If you’re working on a piece and he’s got his head buried in a book? That boy is not reading. He’s watching you work, admiring how your pencil scratches over the paper, or how your brushstrokes flow or whatever else you may be doing.
-He loves to watch something come to life in your hands, and getting to see the idea you’re excited about come to fruition.
- He’s always there to lend an ear or a shoulder to lean on when something isn’t going quite right. You can bounce ideas to fix it off him and he’ll do his best to help. Or if you just need to rant about it he’ll be there to listen and talk you off the metaphorical edge.
-Tim especially loves when you draw him. Not in a vain way, all of your art is beautiful, but the way you draw him is not how he sees himself. You draw him like he’s really a work of art, and he’s amazed that you see him like that.
- Whenever he catches you working on something he loves to wrap his arms around you from behind so he can peek around and see what you’re doing. Your hands are always covered in something, so all you can do (while avoiding making a mess) as he presses kisses to your neck is giggle and squirm under him. He’s always careful to let you know he’s coming, never wanting to surprise you and risk messing you up.
-One of these times, after he’s turned you into a giggling mess you can’t help but pull him into a kiss. Forgetting all about your messy hands, and leaving charcoal smeared across his cheeks. Once you pull away, you can’t help but laugh at the mess you’ve made. You apologize, but every time it happens after this you manage to leave something on his face. Some color along his jaw, a little boop of charcoal powder on the tip of his nose, a smear of paint on his neck, just something to leave a little mark on him. You start to enjoy marking your territory, and even though he acts like he doesn’t like it, he secretly loves that you want to mark him so people know he’s yours.
