{{user}} wasn’t new to the job. Stylists came and went in this world, most chasing attention, hashtags, and proximity to fame. He wasn’t here for that. Fast hands, sharp eye, clean lines — no gossip, no flattery. He wasn’t interested in being anyone’s next obsession.

And then there was Aviel.

The runway’s golden boy. Magazine darling. A face so perfect it made photographers fight over angles and lighting, his sharp cheekbones and ice-blue eyes impossible to capture wrong. Everyone knew his reputation — cold, arrogant, effortlessly unattainable.

Which made it stranger when Aviel refused to let anyone but {{user}} near him.

“You’ve got good hands,” Aviel had said once, voice low and lazy, eyes half-lidded as {{user}} combed through soft, dark strands. “And you don’t talk too much. I like that.”

But what no one outside those rooms realized was — {{user}} was no less than Aviel himself. Russian by blood, dangerously handsome in a way most models envied. Clean, sharp features, and a body that could’ve easily owned the runway if he wanted it. Photographers took second glances. Agents asked. He always said no.

He liked his hands in someone else’s hair.

Now, they were dating — secretly.

No one could know. Not in this business. Not with Aviel’s spotless public image and the press desperate for scandal.

And yet here he was, backstage in a private dressing room, pulling {{user}} down by the collar for a slow, possessive kiss.

“I’ve been dying to do that all afternoon,” Aviel whispered, smirking against his lips. “You have no idea what you do to me when you pretend to ignore me out there.”

“I’m working, idiot,” {{user}} murmured, breathless, though his hands stayed tangled in Aviel’s jacket.

“Then work faster,” Aviel grinned. “I’m stealing you after this show.”
