right: girl braiding her hair (1887) by albrecht anker
so the way this happened, i ended up having several iterations cus i couldn’t get the colors/lighting just right ahaha. the background texture was too much, his dark hair was blending in the bg too much, questionable highlights etc lol, but it’s all good, i learned a lot from this study.

“hey ran i have a question? just don’t think too hard about it,” you said out of nowhere to the man lying next to you in bed at this late hour. you were bored so you felt like messing with him a little.
said man just hummed at you, signaling that you have his attention but not taking his eyes away from his phone screen where he was texting one of his co-workers.
you turned your head to him so you could observe his reactions. “imagine you walk past a field of strawberries. you’re really hungry so you wanna get some but there’s a fence surrounding the field. how big is the fence?”
confused by the weird context-less question you see him stop typing mid-sentence. it seems you have his full attention now as his head turns towards you as well. all you receive as an answer is a “what?”
“don’t question it. just answer, how big is the fence?”
still looking at you with a suspicious look he thought for a second before replying, “I don’t know, probably one of those small white fences that you can just step right over if you’re not as short as mikey,” he let out a small laugh at his own answer.
you, however, didn’t laugh but squint your eyes at him. “okay…how many strawberries do you eat?” you word out your next question.
he stared at the ceiling in thought before answering “if i’m really hungry maybe like 10.”
you let out a short gasp, “ten? really?”
he turned his head back towards you with a confused look. “yeah? I mean if i’m already stealing those strawberries might as well take enough to get my fill.”
you mouth opened in shock for a second before you continued. “the farmer comes by and asks ‘what are you doing eating my strawberries?’ what’s your response?” you stare at his face intently for his reaction.
“I’d probably say something like 'oops sorry they just looked really good’ i guess,” he said without much thought.
you furrowed your eyebrows again but moved on without any comment. “okay you’re walking away, how do you feel about the experience? do you feel guilty?”
now it was his turn to raise an eyebrow at you. “I’ve done worse than steal some fruit. I don’t think I’ll care,” he tells you as if you didn’t just ask a criminal if a minor theft would plague his mind in any way.
irritated by his casual response you voiced out your last question. “well rate the strawberries from 1 to 10,” staring at his face while he just looked at the ceiling again.
ran closed his eyes for a second pretending to taste the fictional strawberries on his tongue. he hummed for a second. “they were delicious. 10 out of 10,” he settled with a satisfied expression.
scoffing you finally turned away and looked at the ceiling, crossing your arms over your chest. “wow I didn’t know i was dating an unloyal whore.”
shocked at your sudden change of attitude your boyfriend turned to you, this time using his right arm as support to look down at your face. “what the hell?” he said obviously confused.
“that was a test of infidelity. you definitely didn’t pass,” you said not looking into his eyes.
“what? how does that even make sense?” ran’s confusion doesn’t seem to end.
you frowned at him finally meeting his eyes. “it’s psychology. the fence represents the boundaries and your willingness to cheat in a relationship,” you squinted your eyes at him, “you said you’d walk right through that shit and it was small!”
he stared at you in disbelief and speechless.
“the strawberries represent the women. TEN women. TEN!” you continued accusingly, “and the farmer? I’M THE FARMER!” you glared at him, “and you told me there was nothing holding you back to satiate yourself!”
ran had to hold back a laugh at how riled up you got in your speech but let you continue ranting about his disloyalty.
“you didn’t even regret doing it! ’I’ve done worse’ OH BECAUSE THAT EXCUSES IT you asshole,” you exclaimed dramatically, “and you said the girls were great too….10 out of 10 even,” you put a hand over your eyes to support your theatrics.
at this point ran could not hold his laugh in and fell onto his back again while his shoulders shook. “why would I even need anyone else if I already have your crazy ass. I don’t think there’s any girl out there who would compare to your insanity,” he said jokingly but you know he fully means it.
“that’s right. from here on you’ll only get a downgrade, so honestly if you cheat on me that’s your own fault,” you teased him while leaning over his face. to tip him over the edge you added one last remark. “I’m sure I’d have no problem finding myself a new ran haitani.”
he raised his brows at you. both of you staring into the others eyes, you with a daring glare and he with an amused one. you and him both fully aware that after all this time together there’s no way either of you could ever replace the other.
“maybe I just have to remind you of how great and unique I am after all, huh?” he almost whispered considering your close proximity at this point.
you smirked back at him. “I mean you can try, I guess.” and with that he finally closed the distance between you both, reminding you just why you can’t get enough of each other.
