Snapshot

At first glance, it's a picture of two college boys, studying.

One of them, on the far side, is wearing an old gray sweatshirt with the university's logo on it, declaring it's wearing to be a member
of the soccer team. He's leaning back against the wall, no headboard between it and him, only one pillow, his concession to comfort. He has a text book of indistinguishable subject in his lap, propped up by his raised knees. One hand is raised, in the process of turning a page. His unruly chocolate hair hangs down in his face, though he doesn't seem to notice.

The nearer boy is lying on his stomach, thick textbook open on the pillow before him, pencil slowly being chewed through in his teeth. As his back is to the camera, it's hard to tell much about him, but the long, lean lines of his body suggest that perhaps the track team jacket that is tossed across the foot of the bed is his.

At a glance, two boys, studying.

But if you noticed the jacket, then you likely noticed that the soccer player's foot, flat on the bed to keep his knee working as a
book stand, is pressed against the other boy's leg, for no obvious reason except, perhaps, reassurance of his presence. You'd probably also see what looked suspiciously like the end of track boy's braid, wrapped firmly around a fisted hand.

And to see that hand, it's only a small jump of the eye to the place where these little touches are reciprocated, in the hidden fingers
slid slyly beneath the hem of the gray sweatshirt.

If you seen all of that, then you likely see what will, plausibly, happen next. The books will be discarded with the pretense, and two
young lovers will throw the photographer out of the room.
