Family Portrait
A challenge given to me by Demitria Miriam. I had to interpret and write my take on what was happening in a specified picture, which I do not own. The picture is by msyelenajonas: http://msyelenajonas.deviantart.com/art/MMD-Inuyasha-We-go-Back-323895375
Family Portrait"Why do I have to pose for this ridiculous photograph?" Sesshomaru queried, gazing levelly at him.
"I hate to agree with the asshole over there, but yeah, why the fuck are we doing this?" asked Inuyasha, youngest of the two.
Touga sighed and resisted the urge to pinch the bridge of his nose. All he wanted was a nice family memento. Was that really so much to ask? It wasn't like he was trying to force the two of them to get along; he'd long since accepted that as futile.
"I want something to look back on and remember," he said distractedly as he fiddled with the camera. Where was that damn timer? "Isn't that why you take photos?"
"But why do we need to have a photograph taken?" his young hanyou argued. "It's not like we're gonna change. Even in a hundred years, we'll all still look the fucking same. Even you."
"Because I said so, that's why," the Inu no Taisho snapped. "And you're not too old to go over my knee, so stop using that foul language." Inuyasha grumbled into silence, and Touga finally found and pressed the timer.
Knowing he only had thirty seconds, he hurried over and moved between his sons, wrapping his arms around their shoulders and smiling. But he was the only one, he noticed.
"Inuyasha," he said through his teeth, "unfold your arms and wipe that sour look off your face. It's a family photo, not a mugshot." Inuyasha let his arms drop to his side jerkily, but he still didn't smile. A glance over at Sesshomaru showed he was refusing as well. Touga clenched his teeth. Why were his sons so difficult?
"Could both of you smile, please? Just this once?" No reaction. He could hear the camera ticking the final seconds away and, determined to get his smiles (or the closest equivalent), the Inu no Taisho dug his claws abruptly into their shoulders in the final moments.
Later, when he loaded the picture onto his laptop, he studied it for several moments. It wasn't perfect, but he knew it was the best he could hope for. And it could have been much, much worse.
Their "smiles" may have actually been pained grimaces, but at least their teeth were showing.
