Nodding, he went about getting his clothes off, setting them aside and moving to sit down. It was a little awkward, giving a flush to his cheeks as a result. But Bae didn't try to cover himself. He'd meant what he said about trusting Taraga. So he'd let him see him naked without being embarrassed.
"How do you need me to sit?" Was his hair right? Should he be wearing makeup? Suddenly Bae wasn't sure if he was ready for this. But not because he didn't want to. He just wanted to make sure the pictures were good for his friend.
"With your back to me. I want you in a three-quarter profile. One hand on the settee like you're about to lean back on it, and the other we'll place after I drape this around you."
Beautiful as Bae was, Taraga's a professional when it comes to his models. The warmth of their friendship remained, but he's above oggling someone just because they're naked in front of him. Especially Bae. He may be a risk-taker, but Taraga's not the sort of guy who knowingly wastes his time. Bae's with someone he loves so any pursuit would be a waste of Taraga's time. Besides, he valued Bae's friendship too highly to even give serious consideration to pursuing him. Relationships (especially with Taraga) get complicated.
Once Bae's settled on the settee, Taraga began to drape the sheer fabric over him. Over a shoulder, pooled to reveal the small of his back and just a little lower. Just enough to be suggestive. Around front, he folded the fabric a few times over Bae's lap to give him a little cover. Taraga wanted to paint him from behind, looking back over his shoulder, so it didn't matter much how the fabric lay across his front.
"Comfortable? I'm going to take some photos if you're ready."
Moving as he was told, he let Taraga move him if he needed to have him angled a little better. His cheeks were flushed but he held the pose as he looked back to where his friend had gone in order to take the pictures. Was there a face he should be making? Rather than ask, he just let himself relax and wait for instruction. If Taraga needed something he had to trust him to tell him or move him. That was it.
"I'm comfortable," he promised, not wanting to delay things for too long when he didn't know when Yohan might suddenly come.
"Good," he quipped before picking up his camera. "I'm going to take a couple of shots in the natural light, then add more lighting to see which works best."
Taraga moved around the settee, snapping multiple shots at once from various angles. Never from in front of Bae, though. The plan was to paint him from behind or in three-quarter profile. The main focus would be the planes of his back and the way that sheer fabric draped over him.
"Oh." He thought about the unmarked bottles at home. Special things that Yohan got for them and then used on him. Tilting his head, he pondered what they were. Of course he knew what they smelled like because the scent always made him happy. Flowers for him. Like getting to bathe in a field of them.
"I'm not sure. Yohan always orders them and has them put in really pretty bottles for us. But they smell like flowers for the ones he uses on me."
Yohan's soaps were different, of course. Because Bae had commented on liking other scents on him.
He can't help chuckling. That sounds like something Yohan would do, control freak that he is. But, Taraga knows from personal experience that Yohan likes to spoil his boys. Bae deserves someone who will do that for him, treat him like a king. Whatever qualms Taraga has with Yohan, he can't deny that he treats Bae well.
"Well, whatever he gets is the good shit," he joked.
The camera snapped continually as Taraga moved around to get various angles. He'd send the photos to Bae to do whatever he wanted with them after. Or maybe he could make like one of those boudoir books of them so Bae could give them to Yohan in addition to the painting.

"What soap do you use? You have great skin."
