Fics like a portrait is a painting with something wrong with the mouth

”What’s the point of painting someone like this?” “What do you mean, beloved?” ”She looks like she’s chewing a wasp.” “And? What is wrong with that?” “It’s unflattering. Unrefined. You’d wonder why he didn’t tell her to, you know, perk up a bit.” Armand stifles a laugh with his hand. Daniel glances over at him, and can’t help softly smiling. Preening. He likes that it amuses Armand when he behaves like a philistine. ”I still fail to see the problem. There is something to be said for preserving someone in the imperfect stages.” Armand can look so tender when he smiles, sometimes. Butter really wouldn’t melt, when he gives Daniel that shy look from under his eyelashes, like they both don’t know what he’s thinking. — Daniel and Armand, John Singer Sargent, museum visits, companionship, and talking through metaphors.
