"Come on, Roza. Just one picture?" Dimitri asked from across the room.

"Not right now. I look horrible." I pulled the blanket I was using over my head.

"You look beautiful. You always do." His voice was considerably louder now, and then I felt the bed sink a little. "I'm only asking for one picture."

I slightly raised the blanket to look at him. As per usual, he was already dressed for the day and ready for work. And oh did he look wonderful. I glanced down beside him and saw a camera laying there, too close for my liking. I pulled the blanket back over my head and kept a tight hold on it. "Go away," I muttered.

Dimitri chuckled, and then the bed sank a little more. I felt him press against me. Why, though, I didn't know, but it probably wasn't good. "I'll go away as soon as you let me take a picture."

"Or," I began playfully, "you can go away now and let me get ready. Then you could take all the pictures of me you want."

"But there's nothing wrong with the way you look now." His hands cupped mine through the blanket. "I've taken plenty of pictures of you with makeup on. One without any won't kill you."

"No, but it could end up killing you." And then there was a blast of cold air.

That bastard! Why couldn't he just—Click, flash!

"Dimitri Belikov!" I shouted as I reached for him, but he climbed off the bed and took a step back. Click, flash! I reached again, but my sweater slipped a little down my arms and chest. "Those pictures better not—" Click, flash! "—see the light of day!"

"Oh, they won't," he hummed as he wound one of the knobs on the camera. "Not for a few days at least. Film can't be exposed to light, you know."

"Dimitri!" I huffed and crossed my arms. "Why can't you let me—"

"How many times have I told you?" he sighed as he lowered the camera. "You're beautiful without having to fix yourself up."

My arms fell to my sides, and I looked up at him. Whatever anger I had felt disintegrated. The things this man did to me…And I loved him for that reason. I smiled and pushed my hair back.

A/N: Hey, loves. Long time, no updates, eh? I've been really with school, but I'm going to do my best to update everything soon.

Anyway, this drabble goes with a graphic I made for a challenge on tumblr. What do you think?
