"The World Through My Eyes"

We're having a Fine Arts Festival this friday at my school. There are others schools coming to participate as well and our art teacher said that everyone from TIS (my school) who was participating had to create a piece of art to put in a gallery to show the other schools. The theme was "The World Through My Eyes" and you could use whatever media you wanted.
The first time she told me that, an idea immediately popped into my head. It was a globe separated into two parts: one side was dark and wasteland, the other colorful and full of rainbows and unicorns. And in the background was a person with the globe in his hands, smiling. Kind of like an all-controlling mind so to say, who sees the world as his playground and he can do whatever he wants to it.
But then I thought that it may be a bit sinister, so I tried to think of something else. Then I thought, "What if I draw a picture seen from my perspective?" As in, the viewer sees through my eyes and ahead of him would be a path disappearing in the distance and there would be a rainbow in the sky and everything was colorful and stuff. But then I couldn't think of enough things to fill the picture with so I thought, "I'm short, so what if I draw a bunch of shadows of people in front of me, obscuring my view?"
And then I had it. The perfect idea. It was me, on top of the world, sitting on a throne with a crown on my head, as the ruler of the world. And that's how this came to be:

My Way Of Showing Affection

I have a weird way of showing affection. I don't give compliments or praise my... "significant other".  Most of the time I tell him that he is stupid or that he sucks. But while my mouth says one thing, my body says another. I love hugging him. So when I tell him that he sucks, he knows I don't mean it. In my world, the meaner I am to him, the more I actually like him.
But a few days ago, I thought that I should give him a compliment for once since I never do that. So when I hugged him, I told him, "You're pretty awesome, you know." He just stared at me for a while before his lips turned into a huge smile. Then he said, "Thank you! That just made my day."
Maybe I should give him compliments more often. But then they wouldn't be special, right? So I will just stick to my way of showing affection and once in a while, I might give him a compliment.

You know how most couples call their sweethearts "honey", "sweetie", "baby" etc.?
Well, my sweetheart and I kind of have our own way of... conveying our love? We came up with our own nicknames for each other. I call him Heater. Because when I'm cold, I hug him and he warms me up. I also called him Baldie once, because he cut his hair pretty short. And according to him, I'm a leech because I never want to let go of him. Or a jacket holder. Lovely, isn't it? 
I think that's one of the things that makes us awesome. Because there are so many, you know :p
