Anna Marie
Piotr was still pretty certain this wasn't the best idea ever. He'd drawn nude pictures before, yes, it was part of getting anatomy down, and he'd taken art classes that even had a live model, but that was in a class. With a model he didn't know, and it was easy to think of just the aesthetics, of just drawing.

This was a bedroom. With one of his closest friends, and no one else in the room. It just seemed - different. And yes, Piotr knew that in all liklihood, once he got started on the drawing, he would be able to focus completely and just think of the art - that was one reason why he drew, it allowed him to clear his mind and think of nothing but getting the images out on paper - but right now, and until then, he was kind of nervous.

And he was refusing to think of after.

He'd bundled his art supplies under his arm, and he knocked with his free hand when he got to Anna's room. "It's me, Anna," he called in.

Anna was at her desk, alternating between homework and the decidedly more distracting activity happening on Piotr and Bobby's journals. Somewhere along the line, she'd decided that it was a great idea to have Piotr draw her. Naked. It was either a really good idea or a really awful idea, but he was on his way so there was no backing out. When he knocked, she saved the document she had open and headed over to the door.

"Coming," she called out as she kicked a pair of Ali's shoes under the girl's bed. The room was fairly clean, thanks to the constant threat of inspections, but it had definitely started to accumulate some assorted junk. She opened the door and smiled up at him, stepping aside to let him in. "Come on in."

He shifted the art supplies as he waited for her to open the door, trying to make it look like he was just adjusting his grip on his things and not just fidgeting nervously. He probably failed, but, well, there was no one out there to see him, so that didn't really matter.

"Hey," he greeted when she opened the door, returning her smile and heading inside. "Thanks."

	"No problem." She let the door swing shut again and followed him in, nodding at the art supplies in his arms. "I just wanna make it clear I didn't buy that as a big 'get naked' ploy. Or... anything like that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abs_of_steel 2011-02-25 10:34 am UTC (link)
	He chuckled slightly. "Don't worry, I didn't think you did. Especially since I definitely didn't make that post as a 'please get naked' ploy." Piotr didn't quite regret making it, but he was definitely remembering why he never actually talked much except around his friends. "It didn't even occur to me, actually," he added.

	She smiled, nodding as though she almost believed him when he said that it hadn't even occurred to him. In all truth, she didn't doubt for a second that he'd never even thought of it, but it was more fun to tease him. "Lucky you, you've got people all around to make sure you think about that kind of thing in the future." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He laughed. "And to make sure I think twice before even posting at all." He was mostly teasing. Mostly.

Piotr almost made some comment about there being a good outcome from it, so it was worth it, but he wasn't quite sure if he'd be joking or not with a comment like that, so he stopped himself.

"At least I got one more or less serious volunteer," he went with instead.

	"Always." She nodded solemnly. Thinking twice before posting was a great idea. Half rolling her eyes at his second comment, she nodded. "Completely serious. I think. Ninety percent serious, at least." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abs_of_steel 2011-02-26 06:32 am UTC (link)
	"Ninety percent is close enough to completely serious for me." Which meant they were actually going to do this. Probably. Maybe. Unless he got horrendously awkward and backed out, which was actually possible. "So, um. Do you have a preference for pencils or pastels?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Me too," she nodded. It had quickly gone from a what would happen if I...? to an actual thing, and she was just stubborn enough to not back out. She was fine with being naked, anyway. It was just the being naked and touching people while naked that was a problem.

"I don't know. Never really done this before. Whichever you want?" She shrugged, reaching for the water bottle on her desk. "Just tell me what to do."

Piotr was possibly not too stubborn to back out. Except - if she was okay with this, there was no reason for him not to be okay with it. It was just drawing, and it wasn't like he hadn't seen naked women before.

None of them were Anna, but that was beside the point.

"I'll stick with pencils for now, then, I can always do a coloured version later if you want." He nodded. Right. He could definitely do this.

Definitely.

"So, um. You should pick a position that's comfortable for you, because it'll take awhile to finish, and I'm going to ask you to keep as still as possible."

"Okay," she nodded. Pencils first was fine. It wasn't like she planned on putting the picture up all over the place or anything, so she didn't really need it in full technicolor. She nodded again when he explained that she'd have to be still, and after a second's pause, unzipped her track jacket and shrugged it off.

"Am I gonna have to be quiet the whole time too, or is talking allowed?" She raised an eyebrow as she stepped out of her shoes. Not talking would probably make it more awkward, but she didn't want to interrupt his whole process if it involved absolute silence.

Okay. This was definitely happening. So much happening that Anna was stripping. All right, taking off her track jacket, but still. In the process of stripping.

"Talking's allowed," he said with a grin. "But I might end up not replying if I've gotten really absorbed in drawing. Usually I can split my concentration pretty well, but I figured I'd warn you so you don't think I'm ignoring you or anything."

And there's the possibility that if they actually do this, Piotr will be very much trying to get completely absorbed in drawing, so he's not focusing on any awkward-ness.

	"Okay." She pulled both of her shirts up over her head, trying her best not to acknowledge any potential awkwardness. So far, it was all things that Pete had seen before. She'd worn shorts and sports bras to train in on occasion, so it wasn't like it was something brand new to him. "If you get too quiet, I can always just talk to myself. Not a problem."

Right. Not awkward at all. And it definitely wasn't like Pitor had to fight a brief, instinctive urge to avert his eyes or anything.

He chuckled slightly, and convinced himself that it didn't sound a bit nervous at all. "I'll make sure to clarify if you're talking to me or yourself before I answer, then." He gripped the back of her desk chair. "All right if I sit in this?"

"Thanks," she grinned, giving him a thumbs-up. She nodded at the chair, then glanced around the room. There weren't a ton of options, in terms of where she could be, but she figured it was best to ask him anyway.

"Where should I be? And should I... um," she waved one hand in the air as she tugged her sweatpants off with the other. "Should I be standing? Sitting? Floating upside-down?"

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	abs_of_steel 2011-02-26 07:49 am UTC (link)
	"I, um." He gave her a bit of a smile. "It shouldn't matter in terms of the drawing, the lighting's pretty much all the same in here. So whatever's most comfortable for you? Depends on whether you want to be sitting, or standing, or lying down or floating for however long it takes to finish." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Got it." Being on the bed seemed like the most comfortable option, and once her pants were off, she folded them and dropped them on top of her shirts, then moved over toward the bed. "Exciting as floating probably looks, I feel like being upside down and naked would probably not do my boobs any favor."

"I'm okay with sitting or laying. It's your drawing, Petey. You pick which." That saved her the trouble of having to decide. Once they figured out how she was going to be posing, she'd ditch the underwear. But until then, they were staying on. Not that they were really much protection against anything, but other than the legally mandatory red bracelet, they were all she still had on.

He should definitely not reply to that. Especially since his first thought was to make some comment about how he doubted any position could make her look unfavourable, and then his second was to make some joke about her being concerned with her breasts' appearance. Neither of which were likely good ideas.

Piotr considered that for a moment, then said, "Laying down would probably be best, I'd think. More of a natural position to draw." And as long as he could just focus on the whole drawing part, his mind wouldn't start wandering off down the Anna-will-soon-be-naked part.

	Anna nodded, taking a deep breath before hooking her thumbs under the waistband of her panties and tugging them down. She sat down immediately, ignoring the breeze, and reached back to unhook her bra. She dropped it on the floor by the bed and scooted back. "Back up or front up?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Piotr was definitely not staring. In fact, he was so definitely not staring that it was probably pretty obvious that he was doing his best not to stare.

It was just - Anna.

"Um." He considered that briefly, looking at her without looking at her, which turned out to actually be really difficult. "Back up. If you don't mind being propped up on your elbows for awhile, and, um, letting your hair down, that would be perfect."

Art. It was for art. It was getting a bit easier, the more Piotr was thinking about the actual drawing - and the contrast of Anna's white streak with the rest of her hair, and the dark hair over her shoulders would be lovely.

	Back up was good. Back up was great. She could definitely do that. She nodded, reaching back to pull her hair out of its ponytail and run her hands through it, taking care to be as un-sexy as possible while completely naked and sitting on a bed. That done, she shifted on the bed, laying flat on her stomach. "This okay? How should I be propping?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

abs_of_steel
2011-02-26 09:28 am UTC (link)

Un-sexy. Right. That was definitely not sexy. Anna was in no way at all sexy. And this was probably a really bad time for him to start suspecting he'd been aware of just how sexy Anna was for quite some time.

"That's great," he said, sitting in the chair and setting his supplies down on the floor next to him, taking out his new sketchbook and pencils. "Um. You can go on one elbow and to the side, if you want, or both elbows and staying kind of flat, or whatever's most comfortable for you, really."

She watched him setting up his supplies and nodded, shifting a little bit to test out what was more comfortable. One elbow and to the side seemed like it would be more comfortable for a longer stretch of time, since her other arm could at least be relaxed, and she settled into position and looked up at him again... then realized that maybe that wasn't where he wanted her to be looking. "Where should I look? I think I'm running out of dumb questions, by the way."

Piotr watched her shift, sketching out a few lines absently with his pencil, a few little practice things to help him get into it.

He blinked at her comment, then laughed. "They're very valid," he told her. "If I had more experience at this, I'd be more adept at giving you suggestions before you had to ask. Where you're looking's just fine, as long as you don't mind looking at me for a bit."

	"I can try to suffer through it," she sighed, still doing her best to ignore the fact that she was naked. It would have probably worked much better without the literal nagging voices in her head reminding her of it. "How long do you think it will take?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
