Based on this picture:




”No Way!”

Sean had long wanted to photograph Viggo. Yes, probably that thought should have the pronouns switched around, but truly it was Sean who wanted to capture Viggo on film.

“No Way!” was Viggo’s honest response when Seen mooted the idea. And Sean knew his lover would be implacable because photography was two things to Viggo. Firstly, fanaticism about his own, which was personal and meaningful and private, until he decided which pieces he’d share with the world. Or – the less fanatical side – the photographs other people took and distributed to the world. And so Viggo, who ruefully accepted the second and gratefully coveted the first, gently chided Sean to give up the notion. “You have me”, he said, “be content . . .”

But Sean was not easily put off. “No Way!” was not going to deter him. The where and the when were important questions, but the expression to be captured was more important. Viggo had already been photographed in so many permutations (in truth he’d even been photographed taking photographs), in so many locations, with so many different people, in so many and varied costumes that it was difficult – practically impossible – to pick one that was entirely natural, entirely Viggo . . .

Sean thought he might capture Viggo in a most intimate moment, but discovered it to be a hopeless task in the face of his own feelings and desire and Viggo’s skilful touch. He arranged a bathtime together – soft music, sweet wine, candlelight – but found when the time came, he was so distracted that the camera tumbled to the floor unheeded. His plans with a camera following a slow seduction in the bedroom also came to naught, for when Viggo touched him like that, Sean lost all use of his hands.

But now Sean had one ideal opportunity to capture fanaticism of a different kind – as Viggo voiced his strong opinions, yelling “No Way!” to a referee who couldn’t hear him out on the football field.

Sean captured the moment – one he would share with no one, guarding this picture jealously for himself – and grinned at Viggo. “There’s always a way”, he said.

Very neatly plotted and the picture could easily be one snapped by an amateur photographer, friend or family member.

This fic totally reminds me of the recent World Cup season where I remember watching matches with friends and family, and how we'd yell and jump up and down and tear our hair out whenever a referee made an unbelievably stupid/biased decision. The look on Viggo's face is EXACTLY how so many of my friends looked, that "WTF?" look or the "That can't possibly be offside!" and so on. Hehehe, I thought you captured that very well.

I also giggled at the part where Sean was attempting to take pictures of Viggo and got distracted instead. I'd be distracted too!

Thanks very much for making me giggle and remember some pretty awesome World Cup memories!
