emmademarais for the plotbunny and the chance to revisit a certain image.
Author's Note: For once I wrote a prompt within its week (#206, Draw)! This might be a sequel to "Light to See By". I'm not sure.
Disclaimer: None of these characters or their settings belong to me.
Amita knows this isn't the right way to store a drawing, folded in quarters and tucked between pages 302 and 303 of Combinatorics: An Introduction. Every time she unfolds it the seams creak, and one day it's going to disintegrate entirely.
It's just that she doesn't want Charlie to know she kept Seth's sketch, of them naked and dishevelled and entangled. He drew it sitting on their bed, wearing only his glasses, a grin, and some hickeys; in it their eyes are smudged and sleepy, their hair a dark cloud without a clear division, their foreheads touching as they laugh.
Amita remembers teasing Seth as he drew until she wriggled from Charlie's arms to wrap hers around Seth's neck, how Charlie tucked himself warmly to her back and kissed him over her shoulder. How they all found energy for another wild round, and Amita found herself wishing she could draw as she watched Seth's dazed smile unfurl, Charlie's back flex as he pressed his face to Seth's throat.
In the morning Seth gave them the drawing, and she and Charlie held hands all the way to campus, got back to work, and discovered that Seth was the forger they were hunting, the mastermind behind the crime.
Days later, Amita offhandedly told Charlie that she'd thrown the sketch away; he nodded, tightly muttering, "good." But she retrieved it from her trash can and tucked it into a textbook, where it stays even though she knows full well that's not the way to store artwork.
