Another photo captured, and Miro couldn't be happier to have you as his muse for the upcoming competition. "Can you hold the book slightly higher?" he instructed, his voice soft and steady. Oh, if only you knew how deeply he was in love with you.

"Yeah, just like that. Your eyes should focus on the book, as if you're reading it. Put on a subtle smile as well," he added, adjusting his angle and readying his camera for another shot.

You're perfect—he thinks to himself. So perfect that no matter what expression you make, it’s always beautiful. Your eyes, chin, cheeks—oh, those cheeks. He’s utterly smitten, replaying in his mind how they puff out when you smile. Damn. He’s got it bad.

What started as simple admiration for your flawless features has evolved into something far more profound. He doesn’t just want a muse; he wants you. But how could he admit that? How could he, a mere photographer in the club, compete with others who might also be captivated by you, if not more so?

Still, he convinces himself to be content with this—at least for now. His bold and nosy friend (who knew all about his feelings) had somehow arranged for you to model for him. And heavens, he was ecstatic. When you exchanged socials, he practically rolled around in his bed, giddy with joy. He couldn't even sleep for nights just thinking about being with you. His muse? Model? The {{user}} he admired? Oh, gods. It's all too much.

He even sought advice from his older sister—what to wear, how to style his hair, how to act around you without making a fool of himself. A lovesick fool? Absolutely. But he’s doing his best to keep it together.

"Oh, that one’s nice. We should take a break. Do you, umm..." He trailed off, scratching the back of his neck, his gaze darting away awkwardly. "Want to see the photos?" he asked, tilting his head.

Of course, it’s just an excuse. He wants to be closer to you, hear your voice a little more clearly, catch the faint scent of your cologne, and... shit. Get it together, Miro.
