This is it, we are coming to the end. I think I've said all to you. As a result, I can't see what I can comment further. Happily, I have one last anecdote to share with you.

Put down on my den, I laid on the sofa. Apart from classes hours, I like to exercise myself on sketches. Which is a good pastime, in addition to video games. So here, I killed time by drawing myself with various facial expressions: happy, angry, sad, teasing, and so forth.

Then, Lucas came sticking his nose in. Well, there's nothing nasty about this, but I prefer that I'm not disturbed when I'm creating.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm drawing, big boor."

"Yes, I've seen that you're drawing, but what are you drawing?"

"Oh, facial expressions, rather basic stuffs."

"Yes, easy to say for someone who used to draw. Why are you drawing yourself?"

"I don't really have a model's idea, so I do the best with what I've got."

"Yeah, it's too bad, though."

"Meh." I said, shrugging.

Here, I don't have a lot of regrets, I don't need much to draw. It's maybe this, being a born artist.

"Akio?"

"Hmmm?"

"Me, I'd like to pose for you." He confessed to me, softly.

My dumbfounded eyes turned towards him, facing this rather unexpected request. Firstly, anyone wouldn't ask me this of its own free will. Secondly, it came from Lucas, who surprised me the most.

Because, when a model is posing, it must show itself in all its forms. And believe me, at this time, it was one of the last things he would do.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, it could be fun."

"But you know it could last during hours."

"Never mind, it keeps me busy at least, and then it permits us to do one activity together."

"But you know I can show me: demanding, strict, indeed a pain in the neck."

"Well, this time, it will be totally justified." He mocked.

"I... little bastard."

Ah, such a practical joker, this Lucas. Every time, I rediscover him, it's incredible.

"So, you want to have my portrait painted?"

"Argh... if it's that you want, alright."

"Great, we begin right now?"

"That's your call."

He stands in front of me and begins to undress himself. Very well, he goes right ahead, but I stopped him in his approach: "Wait, wait, are you sure you want to pose nude?"

"Yes, level intimacy, we left this code of ethics far behind."

"Very well, it's just I'm not very good for doing nudes."

"So, it will be the occasion to exercise yourself."

"And are you okay with it to uncover yourself?"

"Yes, today, I've gotten to a place which I'm not ashamed of my shapes anymore. So, take me at every angle."

"Well, if that's it what you want, make yourself comfortable."

Within seconds, he had nothing anymore on him _(except for his fur.)_Cross-legged, he only waited for me. I had pressure, so I turned the page on my notebook. And when the charcoal touched the sheet, it just happened.

Curves, shadows, spots, fur... In minutes, I succeeded to transcribe all these elements. That being, I could improve those sketches, but I will deal with it subsequently.

Seeing that he began to make tired, I asked him to change position, and he complied without waiting. Visibly, he didn't seem to find it annoying, but rather amusing. To finish, we did during one hour and it was an instructive experience, as well for him than me.

Since this day, he had become my main model. Each artist òwns its muse, and with him, I finally found it. Ordinary situation or not, each of these instants were favorable to the creation. It's crazy like he is bathed in the innocence and the joy of living, all he cherishes more than everything.

I mean, by moments, he can be naive and full of life, and others, so charming and passionate. With him by my side, there's no way I'm bored once. Frankly, I'm very lucky to have him as my partner.

And today, our couple are still here. Not a second pass unless the routine stops her wild race. However, now that Lucas is on my sides, this one seems less painful than before.

Currently, I've drawn and painted who know how many Lucas' portraits, you can't imagine. Still today, I even consider to sell some, because they take up space, these canvases.

And although everybody sees us married and parents, we prefer assert nothing because it will maybe take years before it is.

To sum up... _We have still a lot of road ahead together... and this, it will be entirely up to us. _
