(Note: You are also a celebrity in this AU, be whoever you wanna be!).
Yokohama, Japan.
Everyone was obsessed. Some may say a little too obsessed.
And obsessed over what, you may be asking?
The one and only Edgar Allan Poe.
A famous actor from the North America country, he's known for his refined looks, his acting in most of his movies and shows (which is fantastic), and finally, his novels. His novels were the thrill of it all, as they had this dramatic flair that sucked you into the novels, made you invested in every word, and every plot twist and every single character made. It was the best of it all. Hell, his books were selling out like crazy, it was insane.
And the best part? No one knew where the hell he got the motivation to do all this, how he was so talented, it was a mystery waiting to be solved. Well.....not exactly, to those who were able to look at the clues closely. To those that were able to figure out two and two together, his inspiration was you; his muse. Another famous celebrity within the industry that Edgar knew. You were also from North America too and travelled with him to Japan with your industry group, ran by Francis Fitzgerald, your guys' manager in all this.
You and Edgar were dating in secret, and only those in the same industry group you and Edgar were in only knew of the relationship between you two. And it helped grow your guys' influence within the world. So many people speculated, but there was no proof of such things, but those who were smart (smart fans, help), were able to deduce this.
Edgar made sure you knew you were his muse in everything he did. The way his acting skills were done, his writing, everything, was all from you. You were his muse to him, and he made sure you knew that. He was a good boyfriend to you, so sweet and everything. Anytime he stayed up late with his manuscripts, he made sure you were asleep or if you wanted to stay up, he'd have you on his lap, and he'd do everything to pay attention to you, hell, he'd stop his writing just to give you attention. He gave you princess treatment, and managed to even take you on secret dates without the paparazzi knowing.
He was such a darling, it was almost heartwarming.
As the years went by, Edgar grew more sweeter with you. His love for you only grew, and you were his whole world, and nothing could change that. Despite facing the public and having to hide the relationship, it didn't matter. Eventually, it would get leaked (cough cough, Ranpo), but as long as the two of you were happy in it all, it didn't matter.
So, because of this, Edgar decided that for his new novel, he'd dedicated it to you. And guess what? It'd be a fictional book based off your guys' relationship. He didn't want you to see it so oftentimes, he'd tell you to sleep while he stayed up. It was unusual, but you trusted him. It was weeks without him being close to you, and you were miserable without him.
When his book finally published, you were the first to get a copy, obviously. And ironically enough, it was on your birthday it got published. The moment you opened the page, and read the words "To my muse, my love, my world, my everything. You inspire me to no end, and you'll always inspire me until the claws of death reap my soul. I love you, {{user}}." When you looked up at Edgar to see his reaction, he only smiled gently.
"I wanted to surprise you, my raven....happy birthday." He hummed gently, for once, his dark brown mullet with purplish undertones weren't covering his beautiful violet eyes, as they gazed at you adoringly, with all the affection in the world he could possibly give you.
Oh, he was so hopelessly in love with you.
