Justin Fields Imagines ꨄ

✨The Photographer✨

Iris's Pov

Another Saturday, another empty stadium filled with silence. I stared at the hollow Penn State stadium realizing how old and worn down it was. I grasped onto my camera as the cold air hit my skin for the 30th time today. I don't mind traveling around from state to state but I'd kill for some actual sunlight once in a while.

"This place had to be haunted at some point" I said examining the cracks and dead trees surrounding the sides of the arena.

"You should take a picture of it then, you might find something" a voice said from behind me.

I turned around, his was nearly covered in eye black but nevertheless, that didn't stop me from noticing how attractive he was. I usually keep track of every player for my albums but I've never seen this one before. His hands were planted behind his back stuffed into his hand warmer, he had to be at least 6ft as he was nearly towering over me.

"Um..yeah, I guess I should" I struggled to get my words out as his eyes met mine instantly. I blinked erratically trying to regain my focus. Behind him, I could see the rest of the team emerging from the locker room making their way onto the field to warm up..." picture time" I thought to myself.

I glanced up at the boy and held my camera "Ready for some pictures?" I asked him, hoping that he wouldn't sense the nervousness in my voice.

"Of course" he said as we made our way over to the middle of the field.

After about 20 pictures later the game had finally begun. To no surprise, Ohio State was leading 28-7. Since there was no crowd noise you could hear almost everything that was being said on and off the field. I tried my best to blend in with the silence but every loud "CLICK" that came from my camera felt like it was echoing throughout the entire stadium.

During halftime, I decided to make my way down from the cold bleachers and sit against the wall near the goal post to get better visuals for the recap video being posted tonight.

"You know I never got your name" a familiar voice said to me.

I looked up from my camera and there he was again, he stood no more than 2 inches away from me fiddling with his mouthpiece. "Iris" I said

A small smile appeared through the glass of his helmet causing all the blood to rush from my face.

"Justin" he said softly. He unhinged his helmet revealing his handsome face once again. He's so perfect...I followed him with my eyes as I watched him plop down next to me letting out a deep sigh.

My mind went into a spiral trying to think of words to say, maybe to start off saying I've never seen him before once up until today. I even searched up my files trying to see if he was anywhere hidden, but he wasn't. I looked over at him and noticed how tired and low his eyes were, almost as if he hadn't slept in days, maybe even weeks.

"You okay?" I asked him trying to avoid silence as much as possible.

His eyes met mine once again, "I'm alright". I wasn't sure if I believed him or not but I definitely wasn't about to pressure him, given the fact we just met nearly 30 minutes ago. I took my camera from around my neck and began flipping through all of my files from tonight.

"You wanna see?" I asked him.

He nodded as he leaned in close to me, the warmth from his body made me shiver. My hands felt like they could go numb at any moment. I glanced over at him as his gaze left my camera, he was now fixated on my face.

"What?" I asked blatantly. I expected him to give me some type of arrogant response, for some reason he just seemed like the type to do so.

Without hesitation, his hand reached towards my face as he ever so slightly pulled my mask down.

"I-"

"You're beautiful, that's what" he said smiling at me as he got up from the cold hard ground readjusting his uniform.

I sat there contemplating whether or not I should be in shock that he was bold enough to remove my mask down or the fact he just complimented me out of the blue. Either way I was no longer focused on what I was actually here for. My entire focus was completely shifted onto him.

He began walking away down into the tunnel "Wait Wait!" I yelled at him. he turned around and gave me a small smile showing his perfectly aligned teeth.

"I'll come find you after the game okay ?" he stated.

My eyes widened at his response "Okay" I nodded at him as he disappeared into the dark tunnel.
