vogue â ă boss/fashion designer!geto suguru x reader ă
synopsis ; even without much knowledge in the world of fashion, you decide that it's in your best interest to work for the country's fashion magazine powerhouse. however, you begin to second-guess your decision when you're faced with the grueling labor of its one and only editor-in-chief who expects nothing less of perfection. can your efficiency meet his standards or will you be out the door before you can even blink?
content tags/warnings ; gn!reader, use of they/them pronouns, mild language, traditional japanese basis of (l/n) (f/n) used, reader wears glasses, makeup, and heeled boots, some mild manga and jjk 0 spoilers (three minor characters from each are introduced), uhhh suguru being a dick lawl, some parts not edited/not beta read
contains ; editor-in-chief!geto, fashion designer!geto, assistant!reader, assistant turned ****!reader, platonic roommate!ino, modern au, mild angst, some crack if you squint
word count ; 10.2k
notes ; heavily inspired by "the devil wears prada" and "paradise kiss", so there'll be some references i've dropped within thisâsee if you can spot them! also the censored is spoilers so until then, hehe.
now playing ; seven days in sunny june - jamiroquai
Itâd be foolish not to know the household name of Geto Suguru, the ultimate male muse of Jun Takahashi whose title has yet to be reigned by another. He was the ultimate breathing mannequin of the iconic Yohji Yamamoto piece he had worn on the Milan runway back when he was just a teenager. It was one of the most staple pieces of the new century that helped open the gates of the mixing of world culture and avant garde fashionâan England-Japanese punk fusion of an ashen and tattered kasaya layered under the contrasting statement piece: the earth-toned gojĆu-gesa splattered with weaves of goldâand it was that very piece that rose him to the top of the fashion world as one of the most powerful names in global fashion.
And how could he not? At seventeen, he was scouted as a model for Gaulthier and became his muse at the ripe age of twenty before several other worldwide designers began to fight for his eyes. It was only a few shrewd years later that heâd open up his own successful fashion line, RIIKO, named in honor of his late sister, resulting in it becoming one of the fashion line pillars in the modern century.Â
It didnât take long after that, due to his fame and distinct education from Jujutsu University, rising to the top for Kaizen fashion magazine and ruling it with an iron fist and several cups of coffee with almost all his designs on display for all to see in the office. It was due to his work that Kaizen became the powerhouse of powerhouses of fashion editorials and magazines and it was solely his work that made fashion what it was in present times.Â
Whether it was direct or indirect, Geto had impacted the industry in all sorts of ways. Be it blossoming an upcoming supermodelâs name or setting new fashion trends, everything could essentially be traced to Geto Suguru.Â
So itâs understandable that many had called you a foolâa dimwit, evenâfor not understanding how big of a deal it was to become his junior assistant after lazily submitting your resume. Originally, you had just wanted to become a simple lifestyle journalist for papers like Sankei Shimbun or The Japan Times, but seeing how it was between a seemingly mysterious fashion magazine that mentioned, received gasps, or the measly and homely newspaper of The Hokkaido Tribune, a magazine you knew would only give new journalists the scraps of what they earned, the choice was obvious.Â
Whatever gave you more money, youâd take. Survival of the fittest, was this world not?
âDo not tell me youâre going to your interview at Kaizen wearing that?â Ino barks out a laugh as he finishes his morning cereal for breakfast, scanning your outfit. âYouâre going to work in a fashion magazine, not some dingy corporate office.â
You sneer at him as you shove on your loafers (donât mind that the leather is peeling slightly on the side). You think that thereâs nothing remotely wrong with your overused gauntlet gray matching set of trousers and blazer with a slightly wrinkled button-up underneath it.Â
âOh, please,â you roll your eyes at your roommate and parttime brother figure. âWhat on earth do you know about fashion?â
âEnough of it to know that outfit is atrocious for that type of environment,â he states simply as he shoves a donut in his mouth. He kicks his feet up on the table, making you cringe at their nakedness. âTrust me, change if you can. Make a statement for âem.â
Ino Takuma sighs and glances at your thick spectacles that youâve worn since early college. âAnd at least change your glasses for your contacts. Heard they donât like those sorta things over there. At least not the prescription kind.â
âCanât find them,â you grunt when you feel the weight of your shoulder bag heave down your body. âIâm already late, anyway,â you sigh, âListen, if I donât come back alive, which I will by the way, then you can dance on my grave all you want.â
âIâm holding you to that,â he chants before he lets out a haughty snicker that gets muffled instantly when you slam the door on him.Â
You throw insults at Ino in your mind, grumbling about how a mere job hopper like him wouldnât even know the speck of fashion, how you refuse to take advice from someone who wears the same thing every day. Thereâs nothing wrong with the gray, you think. Itâs safe and presentable, ordinary and professional, and youâd much rather blend in than stand out as you believe standing out and making yourself known is just a recipe for trouble.Â
Stretching out a hand on the street, you call for a taxi and humbly enter as you smooth out your trousers. The taxi driver eyes you in the rearview mirror with a questioning glint in your eye. âJob interview?â he asks.
âOh, um,â you nod your head. âYep! I'm a little nervous, haha.â
âReally?â he says as he gratefully steps on the accelerator a little faster. âBetter get you there quick, then. Would hate to have you late. Where are you planning on working?â
âKaizen Magazine,â you declare confidently, an affirmative look on your face.
âKaizen?â questions the driver slowly as his eyes go to scan your outfit in the mirror again, his brows raised. âAs in the⊠the fashion magazine?âÂ
You nod with visible apprehensiveness. You think that maybe you truly were the only person in the world that didnât know the impact of Kaizen, seeing as how a mere taxi driver even knew about the name and you didnât up until a few weeks ago.Â
âI seeâŠâ he mutters. The drive there is a mix of silence and everyday morning conversations, before he pulls up to the building that held the key to your dreams. âWell then, hereâs your stop.âÂ
You let out a little gasp of excitement. âThank you so much,â you reply as you shove some cash into the slot.Â
âHm, well,â the taxi driver counts the money carefully, barely looking just before you close the door as he mutters, âGood luck, Plain Jane.â
You turn back to the taxi, your hearing a little awry. âSorry, what was that?â
But when you turn back to the yellow cab, all thatâs left is a billow of smoke and cinders. Dazed and confused, you quickly shake those feelings off before you head inside to the building that was now your shining beacon of hope with a determined smile still plastered on your lips. White is the first thing that greets you when you enter the building as it was essentially aired out onto every corner. White marble counters, white tile flooring with white grout, white frames of fashion iconsâthe white screams pristine and perfection to you and its message went very much noticed. You havenât even met Geto Suguru yet, but you understood already that he expected nothing but excellence.
You ride up the elevator quietly and alone, trying not to focus on how your anxiety increased with each ding of the passing floors. The elevator screen seems to almost taunt you as it closes in on your doom, the numbers getting closer to the designated floor until it slowly pauses and shone brightly the number 21 in stippled red.
The doors slowly open and the light seeps itself back to your vision, white flooding your senses again. You carry yourself carefully down the hallway whilst taking your time to admire the many framed pictures of past magazines, multiple runway models, and scraps of newspaper articles. One specific piece catches your attention, however; it was large, almost half your body size and framed in a gilded black frame. It was a picture of a mannequin wearing a tawdry gray-black robe with the kanji characters of âsummerâ painted with purple messily atop. Layered was a loose, but well-fitted piece of thick green and gold cloth that looked much more refined to the messiness of the other materials.Â
You stare at it for what seemed to be forever whilst admiring the contrast and beauty of the work before your name is called out.
â(Y/N) (L/N)?â
Your trance breaks from the voice approaching you. You turn to see a short and young woman with dark blue eyes staring at you with a raised brow. âThatâs you I presume?â she asks.
âOh! Uh,â you nod furiously and smooth out your trousers again. âYes⊠yes, thatâs me. I assume youâre Manami Suda? The one I spoke with on the phone?â
She nods slowly, her eyes going to study your outfit which was a rather stark contrast to her own attire that highlighted an emphasis on shades of opal and navy. Her eyes have a similar glint in the way that Inoâs and the taxi driverâs had, further enunciating the message that your attire was rather⊠something.
âI see youâve dressed up for the occasion,â she murmurs. Sarcasm going undetected by you, you grin as a response and think that a compliment from her was a sign you did something right. Her eyes go to rise back and meet yours again before she turns and redirects you to the end of the hallway where some rooms belonging to subordinal editors sat in, clacking away at the computers. There was one singular room that held the only door on the floor and it doesnât take you long to assume who it belongs to considering the large letters of GS frosted onto the glass.
Two desks stood on each side of the door, one completely devoid of life and decorations. Manami guides you to the empty one and patted the top of it. âThis will be yours if you manage to miraculously pass.âÂ
Manami taps on her clipboard a couple of times, listing off a couple of requirements that you were most likely going to need in the future: efficient time management, ability to fight for what Geto wants, sharp memory, quick feetâŠ
âAnd uhâŠâ Manami flickers her eyes to you and the details (or lack of, in this case). She mutters under her breath quietly, â... a good wardrobe.â
You turn to her, internally wondering if you were going deaf today. âSorry, can you repeat that?â
âA good, warmâŠâ she squints, obviously finding the right word to keep that ignorant smile on your face. â... welcome to start off his day.â
She succeeds in her task as you merely nod with the same blatant grin attached. âGot it!â
Manami tours you around the floor of the office, letting you say hello to your future coworkers that work in the cubicles that send you worried looks behind your back. They obviously seem too pitying of you, knowing that your fate would be sealed as Getoâs potential right hand man the moment you signed that employee contract. Â
âThis is Human Resources,â Manami gestures over to a room filled with chattering employees who seemed to be getting their gossip out before their day started. âYouâll contact them if you have anyââ her phone dings suddenly. Casually, she pulls it out, only for all of her resolve to disappear in an instant. Manami then abruptly blows a whistle with her teeth, alerting everybody in the radius.
âEverybody! His morning facial was canceled!â Manami hollers. âGeto is coming inâŠâ her phone pings again with another notification, and you can tell Manamiâs heart instantly drops. âOh God⊠heâs in the lobby! Everybody, places! You,â she snags the sleeve of your blazer and drags you along with her, your clunky loafers nearly tripping you. âCome with me.â
Manami takes back to where you first started and orders you to stand in the front of the blank desk with a look that screams both fright and anxiousness all in one. She lists off too many tasks that you need to do before he comes, but youâre so frazzled with trying to remember how to act in front of your future boss that you canât even remember the first thing she told you.Â
âHelp me arrange the drafts of the magazines from most recent to least recent before heââ
The elevator dings and all goes quiet; Manami tosses the magazines over her shoulders and positions herself firmly in her place, gesturing for you to do the same. The doors open and unveiled from two bodyguards is a manâa tall man, around six feet or perhaps even tallerâdressed in noir fitted pants and a matching button-up closed only halfway to reveal a silk navy turtleneck. Caped behind him is a black velvet trenchcoat that youâre sure is worth half your rent and a watch plated on his wrist that is well over your life savings. Heâs slightly sunkissed, with blue-black tresses of hair with a soft bang sneaking through and large plated earrings to match. His eyes, however, show a tint of colorâa sharp dark amethyst that you think could cut through you like crystals.
But heâs almost hauntingly attractingâlike a spirit. Something about him was an enigma and his aura was nothing less than powerful.Â
âGood morning, Geto,â Manami chants with an artificial happiness to her tone.
Geto doesnât reply, just merely giving a silent blink before he sheds his coat off and tosses it aimlessly towards Manami. It proves to be heavier than anticipated, giving how she fights to groan from the weight of it. Heâs handed his briefcase from one of the bodyguards and begins to open the door to his office until he pauses and turns and glances at you, the stranger.
âHello,â you state with a slight bow. âI-Iâm one of the interviewees for your junior assistant. My name isââ
â(Y/N),â Geto murmurs; his voice is soft and low. Itâs all knowing, with indigo eyes boring into your own. â(L/N) (Y/N), I know. The one that graduated from Jujutsu University recently, yes?âÂ
 Adjusting your glasses to wave away the blurriness, you nod with anticipation. âYes, thatâs me.â
Geto turns back and opens the door, to which he only replies back, âIn my office.â
You glance at Manami for confirmation, only given back with a jut of her head towards the door. All the unease you felt in the elevator comes hurdling back to you in an instinct and you feel as if you were no more than a peasant to someone that was essentially royalty in the fashion world.Â
Geto turns his chair to face away from you, shuffling a few papers over each other that appears to be your resume, before he spins it slowly towards you. He kicks his feet up lazily on his desk.Â
âItâs nice to have another Jujutsu alum to join us,â he says. His voice is still the sameâa little baritone with a wisping edge of a whisper to it, but it almost sounds⊠bored. Unamused even. âA bachelors in print journalism⊠same as mine, hm. Tell me, is Professor Tengen still as loose as ever with their practices?â
You fight to fiddle with your glasses as you watch as Geto tangibly toys with his own, with his focus angled on the papers in front of him rather than you. âUm, I assume so. Though I believe theyâre actually retiring this year.â
âGood,â he sighs in what seems to be relief. âShame that the university had wasted time and money by hiring them. Truly, I hope they can find someone much better suited for their position.â
âReally?â you quietly question. You had only taken their class a few semesters ago and thought despite their rather⊠all too lenient disposition⊠you did learn quite a lot in their class. âI thought they were a rather alright teacherâŠâ
Regret pools in your mouth from the moment you have finished your sentence. Geto finally goes to look at you from the edge of his glasses with a sharp look, narrowing his eyes ever so slightly.Â
âTengen was merely a sorry excuse for a professor. They were rather nothing but a nanny who gave their students too much leeway,â Geto declares. âThough, Iâll admit, I am pleasantly surprised that you managed to take something out of that class.â
A laugh thatâs just dripping with nothing but nervousness leaks out of your lips. âI suppose I had learned just a few thingsâŠâ
âMmh,â Geto nod nonchalantly, eyes drawing back to the papers. âWell. Letâs start with the basics. Why exactly do you want to work here?âÂ
Geto already feels the cliche comments erupting. Had the person in front of him say at least one of them, he was ready to insert the papers he was holding into the nearby shredder. Or maybe out the window this time, he wondersâsomething nice for a change.
âI was inspired by your work.âÂ
âItâs been my dream to work at Kaizen.â
âFashion is my absolute passion.â
âI want toââ
âIâm just in need of a job, really,â you say lifelessly.Â
He goes to raise his head slowly from the packet and turns to you slowly. Geto doesnât say anything, but his facial expressions indicate a blend of confusion and intrigue. A slithering tongue darts out to slick his lips, indicating youâve piqued his interest. âWell, obviously. But why this job specifically? What about it stood out to you?â
You clear your throat. âI had learned recently that Kaizen is a rather prestigious magââ
ââRecentlyâ?â Geto repeats quietly. âYou hadnât heard of us before?âÂ
Lips thinning, you shake your head slightly. His eyes go narrow again to your dread, serpent-like. âMy specialty is more in newspapers rather than magazines, I-Iâm not too knowledgeable in that area.â
Geto goes quiet and the silence makes the air go thick. Itâs then that familiar glint sparkles in his sullen eyes when they go to examine your choice of clothingâit confirms Ino was truly right in the end, as he lets out a smile-less chuckle that doesnât do much to ease your brain.Â
âContinue,â Geto gestures and takes off his glasses to look at you, or you suppose your outfit, more properly. He folds his hands and places his chin on top of them. âYou said you only learned about us not too long ago?â
âYes, and I realized that perhaps working here for a while would, at least I hope, grant me access to other media houses,â you explain. Itâs only then you realize that your declaration sounds absolutely ludicrous and almost disrespectful to the editor-in-chief of the most iconic fashion magazine in the nation. âConnections are quite powerful in this day and age, hahaâŠâ
âI suppose,â Geto mumbles with not much interest in your poor humor. âWhat about me? I do hate bragging but surely, you know about my name or at least my fashion line?â
Your hesitant countenance and silence tells Geto all he needs to know. He thinks that itâs almost some sort of marvel that no one has heard of him or his works before.
He sighs. âDo you have any experience working in any fashion-related activities at least?â
âWell, I once worked in a department store for a few months back in high school,â you say thoughtfully (and ignorantly).
Geto gives you a blank look. His blinks are apathetically slow.
âUm,â you clear your throat again and shake your head, timid. âN-noâŠâ
âThen tell me,â he continues smoothly. âWhy exactly should I hire you? You obviously have no taste in fashion and you hadnât even heard of my name, let alone my magazine, until recently. What is there within that makes you want to work here other than you just⊠what was it that you said?â He air-quotes mockingly, ââneeding a job?ââ
Your throat runs dry and limbs go stiff. A heat rockets to your face when you seemingly canât get any words out to excuse yourself, much too caught up in the same of your ignorance towards Getoâs profession. And thatâs all the response he needs to make his decision.Â
His hand takes the packet again and to your horror that you fight to keep in, inserts it into the paper shredder. The groan of it rumbles through the room agonizingly and you realize that Ino is going to have the time of your life planning your doomsday.Â
Geto gives you the mercy of breaking the thick silence first. âYou may go.âÂ
With a swift flick of his wrist, Geto dismisses you with a slight edge to his murmuring as he puts back on his glasses to examine the morning newspaper to not waste any more incessant time in the day.Â
You donât even attempt to fight back with any poor excuses. Tears prick the corner of your eyes, the sting of them frustrating you to your wits end. Instead, you gather the last of your resolve and bid him through a strained throat good day and make your leave, humiliation and disappointment trailing not too far behind.Â
You hope that Ino will give a nice eulogy, at least.
Out of all the miracles that await you in life, you do not expect the one that comes in the form of an early morning phone call that wakes you at the ass-crack of dawn. When you pick it up with sleep still very much embedded in your eyes, it dissipates in the instant you hear Manamiâs voice. Itâs only then that it hits you why on earth she was calling so early and why she was demanding to know your whereabouts, claiming you were going to be late on your first day of work.Â
You think itâs some sort of cruel joke maneuvered by Ino, especially with how his comforts from last night were mixed with taunts. But when Manamiâs voice finally registers in your brain, by some sort of miracle or stroke of luck, you have gotten the job as Geto Suguruâs junior assistant.Â
You donât know how, but you donât waste any time questioning how on earth you landed in such a position because you leap out of bed at 7:23 a.m. and manage to do your morning routine in the matter of what you think is a record-breaking fifteen minutes. Your ruckus manages to wake up deep-sleeping Ino, who, when you excitedly tell him to postpone your funeral, gives a groggy thumbs up before drooling back into his pillow. Itâs 7:38 a.m. when you shove on your shabby coat and you realize you only have a mere twenty-two minutes left until you have to officially clock in for work.Â
At 7:40, youâre out the door and sprinting to the located coffee shop that thankfully wasnât too far from where you lived.
At 7:47, youâre at the designated cafe whilst attempting to swim through the crowds of morning bustlers to pick up Getoâs coffee.
7:50, youâre sticking your hand out waving desperately for a taxi and tip extra to make the driver speed through as you attempt to make sure the coffees donât spill out of their containers.
7:58, you arrive at the building and just barely make it into the narrow gap of a tight-fitting elevator, earning stares from the others from your rather⊠frazzled appearance.
At 8:02 a.m., you dash out the elevator and officially clock in for your first day at work at Kaizen Magazine amidst a birdnest of hair, clothes that were plucked out of your hamper, and what you pray to the heavens above are hefty layers of deodorant and perfume since you were given no time to shower.
When Geto comes in that day, all suave and composed, he takes one good look at you before sighing and focusing his attention to the more refined Manami and lets her take the gears for the day. The only attention he gives you that morning is the rough toss of his heavy coatâa cashmere pearl peacoat todayâflung at your arms that nearly makes you tumble from its weight.
You quickly learn that working for Geto requires high demand and maintenance, as he is not one to skip over any details in his day. Not even three hours in your first day, you already have to plan out his future meetings, reschedule one with a rather feisty and insistent client, edit a forest of emails, finishing by dashing out five blocks on foot to the two michelin star restaurant to retrieve Getoâs weekly steak for lunch. Had this been your old corporate job, you only wouldâve gotten half the tasks you had completed by the end of the usual eight hours, but you realized early on that you had barely scratched the surface of your future in Kaizen.
You think that after plating his steak with the shakiest of hands, you finally have time to relax during lunch time when you see the small hand of the clock finally hit 12:00 p.m. , especially since you and him were left alone in his part of the office together. But the moment that Geto saunters into the office again, he tends to you once again with a final task by himself.
â(Y/N),â he calls from the office, the scrape of his fork against ceramic cluttering your ears agonizingly.Â
You fight the urge to cringe from the sound as you scurry to the doorframe, hands stiffly intertwined together. âYes, Mr. Geto?â
âNo need for such formalities,â he remarks with the dab of a napkin to his lips. âThey make me feel old, and Iâm surely not much older than you areïżœïżœïżœâ you think thatâs the longest heâs spoken to you since the day had started. âDid Leibovitz confirm?â
Blinking, you tilt your head ignorantly. âD-did who confirm?â
He pauses and does that taunting slow rise of his eyes from his steak to you. âLeibovitz. Did she confirm?â
Silence fills the office, much like the silence that drowned you back at the interview. He clicks his tongue and dismisses you with a disappointed shake of his head. âJust go on your lunch,â he mutters, sighing.
Manami, the savior that she is, is called into the office after her break and is asked the same task and you watch with humiliation whilst packing your things to go on your lunch as she picks up the telephone and speaks to someone over the line before confirming to Geto that, âIâve got Annie!â
âHe hates me, Taku!â you cry out whilst flopping onto the dinner table. Itâs ten in the evening and youâve just come home after what was supposed to be an 8-5 shift. You suppose you should be used to this already after two months of working for the Lucifer donned ritually in white in the building, but you donât know how much your sanity (and body) can take.Â
Normally, Geto is usually cold to those who he wasnât familiar with, but you think that his distaste for you sours everyday. You notice that heâs beginning to pile you with the more urgent and busier duties and that he often stares you down more menacingly in the morning with those piercing purple eyes of his, like you were gum stuck on the bottom of his shoe. You thought it was just him being normal Geto Suguru, the man with the expectations higher than the clouds, and that you just were still adjusting to such a high-intensity environment, but it was today that your world came crumbling down when you overheard him muttering to his associates about you, tone icier than ever.
You were on the other side of the door, a fist going to rap on the glass with the other holding his afternoon coffee pick-me-up when you heard it.
â... canât even do the most miniscule things right,â Geto had groaned. âI ask if Lanvinâs models are all good to go for next Thursdayâs shoot and somehow, they have the nerve to ask âHow do you spell Lanvinâ? For fuckâs sake, I can feel my goddamn conscious just wither away by the second.â
You hadnât heard Geto swear since you had started working there, but something about his venomous tone enunciating such words had made your blood run cold from the other side of the door. Not having the courage to face him after that, you left his coffee on Manamiâs desk for her to tend to with a post-it note saying a sorry excuse for yourself before letting your eyes sob frustratingly in the bathroom, isolated from others.
The last time you had cried that hard was way back in childhood, where you had broken your arm from falling down a tree branch. But you think that Getoâs words had twisted through your skin and bone much harsher than that pain ever will.Â
âItâs a miracle how I havenât been fired yet⊠I donât even know why he hired me!â you wail.
Ino sighs from across the dinner table and you canât tell if itâs a sigh of pity or a sigh of criticism. You learn that itâs both when he rolls his eyes at you whilst simultaneously pushing a plate of much needed food towards you.Â
âFirst off, you need to eat,â he presses, staring at your gaunt features. âThe way your face is swallowing is making me feel like Iâm livingâ with a ghost. Youâve lost some weight, Iâve noticed.â
Awareingly, you touch your cheekbones and realize heâs right, for you feel the small disc of sharpness from them prick your fingertips. Theyâve never been so cavern before. You suppose itâs because of the lack of proper meal time between your days and how you often eat small and very late dinners back at home, truly not enough needed fuel for you.
âSecondly,â Ino chews his tongue, wondering if he should really say what heâs about to say because of your current disposition but goes through with it anyway. He might as well rip the bandaid off now to let more time for the wound to heal. âYou wonât like what Iâm âbout to say, but you need to up your game. Severely.â
An aching body rises up from the table. You go to stare at Ino through glazed eyes and a pouty lip, asking him what he meant.
âAh nope! Donât give me that face and donât play coy with me,â he hisses, looking away to not give in to your helpless puppy eyes. He canâtâhe shouldnât give you the easy way out and just say to quitânot when youâve been earning so much bank that rent isnât a problem for either of you anymore. He wonders, though, for a moment if so much money is worth your rationality.
He drags a hand down his face before placing his chin on it, examining your haggard appearance. âWhat I mean is that you need to see through Getoâs eyes. See what he sees when he looks at you. Tell me, if you had an assistant that showed up wearing things that looked like they were plucked from the clearance bin at a thrift store and didnât show any respect for your brand, which just so happens to be a fashion magazine out of all thingsâŠâ Ino eyes you with a raised brow. âYou startinâ to follow me?â
Your fingers fiddle with each other. â... sorta.â
âNow listen,â he raises his hands up lazily in surrender. âI already know what youâre âbout to say about me not knowingâ how to dress in shit other than black and more black, but even I know that you should put in more effort into your appearance. Thatâs the first step.â
âBut I haveâ!â you exclaim helplessly, âI-I swear, Iâve been trying to⊠but itâs not my fault that it isnât up to his standards.â
Your roommate groans and rubs his forehead, not really knowing what else to do for your situation until an idea pops in his head. âFree up your weekend,â he demands with a sly grin that makes you a little uneasy. âIâm no fashion connoisseur, but you know who is?â
âAnd remember, we never touch anything with chevron on it, especially in todayâs fashion world,â Yuki chimes as she slaps on a navy blue pageboy cap on your head and she prances about your bedroom thatâs been littered with spare clothes from her very own closet she graciously gifted to you for the past weekend. âIâm so utterly relieved that the trend has dug its own grave.â
The past weekend had been filled with endless shopping trips and you shuffling in and out of clothes every minute, practicing how to pair items and colors together by Yukiâs teachings. Of course you shouldâve known that Ino was going to contact the one person that he was within reach that was essentially a walking encyclopedia when it came to fashion. Youâve met Tsukumo Yuki before, found her to be quite delightful even, but you never anticipated she would be this giddy, especially about clothes of all things.
And she used her brain to good use for not only clothes, but the entirety of yourself. You never knew how much just a simple haircut could do your face along with small hints of makeup to emphasize the best parts of it. Dared not your hands go to a lash curler, but here you are now, making sure your powder compact and lipstick for the day was in your bag before you went out.Â
âUh, I donât think I ever mentioned this before yet, but thank you for helping my wardrobe out, it really means a lot,â you say just before she slides on a pair of gold bangles on your wrist. âAre you sure you wanna give these clothes to me? Iâm okay with just borrowing them.âÂ
âNonsense, babe,â she wavers off before shuffling through your now-hearty closet, a closet thatâs now bursting with many clothes given by her. âI needed space in my closet anyway, so take as much as you need.â
So (Y/N)âs closet is basically her trash can, a particular shaggy brunette thinks with a roll of his eyes. Ino fiddles with the piece of toast in his mouth as he leans on the doorway, watching as Yuki essentially treats you like her very own Barbie doll at such an odd morning hour.Â
â(Y/N)âs not a doll, Yuki,â Ino lazily calls aloud through a tired yawn. âYou better get âem out the door soon or else theyâll get late for work. Especially need that money since the landlordâs been on our ass about increasing our rentâŠâ he mutters, sniffing. âDamn bastard.â
She snaps at Ino to be quiet and let her work before she shuffles on a regal blue overcoat over your shoulders that completes your look. When you look at yourself finally in the mirror, you almost think thereâs a stranger in your house from the way you look so dignified compared to the you just three days ago. Itâs a simple outfit with not much layering, but itâs still enough to ooze charisma and elegance to wandering eyes. Youâre adorned in a white weaved sweater with flared, light-wash jeans and white boots to match. Over the outfit lies the coat that drapes almost like a kingâs mantle behind you and the pageboy cap as your crown.
Yuki creeps up behind you, her manicured hands on your shoulders affirmingly. âHowâre you feeling, hun?â she asks quietly as she shares the same sight with you in the mirror. âDonât you look wonderful?â
You know that it was all her work, it was all her creativity that made you into the artwork that you are now, so breathlessly laugh with a smile on your painted lips and thank her quietly once more before whispering, âYeah⊠yeah, I do.â
Her eyes study you for another minute, going to stare at the glasses still atop your face. Yes, they were new and much more modern considering she quite literally called your old pair atrocious, snapped them in half, and tossed them over her shoulder, but she was still quite dissatisfied when you told her about your hesitance about using contacts. âAre you sure you donât want to give contacts another chance?â she sighs.Â
You shake your head with a small smile, âIâll feel completely naked without them,â you murmur, âBesides, I think they actually compliment this look, if Iâm being honest.â
Her lips stretch out into a grin, too absorbed in her fashion education finally being used.Â
âWell then!â she begins to drag you by the sleeve out your room. âWe wouldnât want you to be late then for your first day as the new you, right? Letâs get you a cab!â
Somehow, you think you really are at your first day at work again from the way you feel that same fluttering in your stomach and from how the people youâve once grown accustomed to seeing in the early mornings are not merely passing you with mundane nods of their heads but instead, greeting you with wide-eyed gawks and open-mouthed smiles. Some of them, a few who you knew but never spoke a word to, even do a double take and compliment you aloud on the new look. Even the cute barista in the lobby that never bothered to spell your name right at last did after finally taking a good look at the holder of the card.
When you exit out of the elevator, Manami nearly drops the pile of magazines sheâs holding when she spots a refined and refreshed you. You offer a bright smile to her and you watch as her gasp slowly forms into an affirmative grin when you round your desk.
She laughs softly. âAnd who might you be?â she asks with a tease in her voice. ââCause last time I checked, thatâs my coworker (Y/N)âs desk.â
âI murdered them,â you shrug nonchalantly, earning another chuckle from her. You take it as a good sign, great even, considering up until now, Manami had been rather stoic and a little indifferent towards you because of your amateurism; but now, you suppose that ditching that Plain Jane from just two days ago is finally beginning to do you good by finally grounding a proper relationship with her. âShame, isnât it? Poor thing.â
âTruly,â she nods. Her eyes trail further down until they spot something that makes her gasp. âDonât tell me those areââ
ââthe new calfskin gold studded Louboutin boots?â you finish for her. You flex your ankle and show off the ravishing red bottoms of your shoes. âOh yeah.â
Manami squeals in excitement and rushes over to your desk, begging to take a look at them. âHow on earth did you manage to get your hands on these?! Iâve been looking for them foââ
The elevator dings again but with a tone that makes you and Manami flinch. Both of you stiffen and straighten out your posture, falling into a thick silence when out comes Geto traipsing out like he usually didâhis aura being nothing less than dominating. You and Manami chime out in sync a good morning to him as he saunters towards his office as he begins to shuffle off his coat as usual to toss to you until he looks up and catches you in his field of vision.
He stops all of a sudden with his eyes dancing about your figure, a stark contrast to the rest of his paralyzed body. Getoâs lips thin all of a sudden, and so do his eyes when they scan your outfit. He takes in a sharp breath and opens his mouth to say something to you, yet nothing comes out, even as your eyes glisten with anticipation.
It merely instead zips itself close and he finally whisks himself into his office, coat still on and briefcase still in hand, and slams the door shut.Â
But not without glancing at you one last time.
Much has changed in the past month for the better.
Yuki was a godsendâshe had been your guardian angel, your fairy godmother of sortsâbecause you swore your career life had taken a complete 180° the moment your closet was revamped. Ever since that makeover, you had felt so much more confident in your actions, so much lighter on your feet. The price of your efforts was beginning to pay off as well, as Geto began to slowly thaw his icier sense of self when you began to actually put effort into your appearance. His thrusts of his coat towards you began to become less aggressive, was significantly more lenient when it came to more of the impossible tasks, and had at one time actually muttered a âgood morningâ to you and Manami after months of greeting with silence and judgemental glances.
Sheâd occasionally check up on you every once in a while, usually to offer new clothes that she didnât want anymore. And by offer, it actually just meant packing them in a box from her place to yours with a post-it thatâd usually read âWith love, YT â€â in neat cursive. Along with forming a close bond with Yuki, your relationship with Manami improved significantly, especially when you gave her those white Louboutins she was eyeing. She often invited you to lunch with her other friends, Larue and Remi.Â
The iconic John Galliano once said that, âThe joy of dressing is an art.â A month ago, you wouldâve never believed what you would think is a rather tacky statement, but now, you can truly see it to believe it. It never occurred to you to actually look at your surroundings closely, but you often would sometimes take a few seconds out of your day to admire the many colors and materials that would adorn your coworkers. Whether it be admiration for their sense of style or mild jealousy over luxurious pieces, you were finally understanding what makes fashion, fashion.
And your epiphany was awarded today with the task that you thought would never come into the light of your days working for Getoâbeing tasked with dropping off The Book.
The Book was a collection of pieces that were needed for the upcoming edition of the magazine, regarding it as being the most important item in the entire company. It was a duty that usually Manami tended to, but she hypothesized that you managed to finally get on Getoâs good side after a while and congratulated you. Manami spoke to you briefly about how trivial The Book was to both Geto and Kaizen. She told you about how you must guard it and Getoâs key to his penthouse with your life, and that you were to remain absolutely invisible to him if he was in the apartment. Manami told you because it was usually the hour he needed most concentrationâit was during the later hours of the day that he usually mended last minute edits to the edition or he was working on his latest fashion collection since he was only able to work on it during the weekends as Kaizen took too much of his time.
Manami told you he would most likely be found on the second floor of his penthouse, and you were to remain on the first floor at all costs.Â
âThe editors will finish The Book around 10:30 or 11:00 at night, wait in the office until then. Then, drop the book off at his penthouse at no later than 11:30 with his dry cleaning, too.â
Her words echo in your mind as you tiptoe out of the cab and look up to see a gleaming, glamorous building sitting in the heart of the city. Itâs one youâve passed a plenty of timesâhell, you pass it on your way to workïżœïżœïżœbut it never occurred to you that itâd be this antique white, Parisian-styled building that would be the abode of your boss.Â
âTake the elevator to the top floor and enter his apartment. Do not call out his name, donât wander around, donât even make a single sound. You are nothing more than a ghost when you step foot into his house.â
The only doors that are on the very top floor of the apartment complex are two large metal doors that sit before you. You enter the key into the keyhole and push them open with controlled force, closing them as quietly as possible with Manamiâs whispers still floating about your head. You knew that Geto was certainly a man of luxury, but to see that wealth exempt in a form other than fashion was a sight that you werenât sure if your eyes deserved to feast on. Sculptures and paintings decorated the foyer and hallway, adding occasional splashes of color to the ivory-adorned apartment. After hanging the dry cleaning in the designated coat closet, the first room you enter - and perhaps the only one youâll ever be in - is the said living room with the glass coffee table sitting in the center of it.
âPlace The Book on the coffee table in the living room. Thatâs it. Do not toddle any longer in his house and get out immediately. Donât let curiosity get the better of you and just simply go afterwards. Itâs for your own good.â
But oh, how curiosity is just a little devil of temptation that sits far too easily on your shoulder. A house holds the most of a person, and Geto is just an all too mysterious enigma for you not to at least dip your toe in. The doors at the end of the hallway are waiting for you, but so are the picture frames that sit atop the TV stand. You suppose⊠maybe another minute wouldnât hurt.
Your feet carry you slowly to the stand and you crouch, adjusting your glasses to get a better look at the pictures. Thereâs only two of themâsix by fours, both in oak brown frames. The first one is a picture of a smiling young girl with short chestnut hair sporting a smile with a cigarette between her teeth. Beside her are two boys taller than her, both making similar faces at the camera. One of them, the one thatâs a little taller with silvery snow hair and opaque black sunglasses, throwing a forced, all-too wide grin that almost looks maniacal. It doesnât require much brain power to know the other figure in the photo is a younger Geto Suguru, his hair shorter in a tight bun with a rare, but soft grin on his face, his gaze affectionate to the others.
The other picture is of the same two boys arm in arm with each other. Both of them are grinning now, with the white haired boy still smiling a little more largely than the other. It doesnât take long for you to assume who the other boy was considering that the shade of purple sheathing his twinkling eyes is unique to only one individual in your life.Â
Best friends, you suggest in your mind as you study the pictures a little longer than needed. A minute, you thought, wouldnât do much harm, but how utterly wrong your thoughts prove when you suddenly hear the slam of a door from the floor above. The crash of it makes you yelp and breaks you out of your trance from the pictures and your gaze suddenly snaps to the open stairs above you, as well as two voices echoing aloud.Â
âY-you canâtââ an unknown voice wheezes. âIâve been your muse for years. You possibly canât just abandon me out of nowhereâŠâ
âYou say that as if Iâm not doing that right now,â a familiar one replies back boredly. Itâs Geto, and his voice makes your nerves electrify in fear because itâs in that moment that you remember that you canât get caught inside of his house. âThis is the last time Iâm telling you, Shigemo. Get out.â
The man that you assume is Shigemo heaves heavy breaths. âYou need me,â he declares.
âNeeded. Past tense,â Geto corrects as he almost forces Shigemo down the stairs with an invisible force surrounding him. You can see their figures above you, Shigemo slowly stepping backwards with each step Geto takes forward. âYouâve done me well these few years, I admit, and I do thank you for that. But I suppose your expiration date has finally come.â
âIâm not a food,â Shigemo snivels. âIâm a person. Most importantly. Iâm the reason your fashion line flourished, I was the inspiration for almost all your works. Weâre essentially a team.â
Theyâre towards the end of the staircase, towards where you are still present in plain sight. Your eyes scatter about a place to hide in the meantime, but there are seemingly no places to hide that would hide you well without the notice of Getoâs eyes.
âA team?â Geto barks out a sarcastic laugh, one that makes shivers run down your spine from both the rarity of the sound and how utterly intimidating it is. âI work alone and I always have. There is no point on relying on anyone of any kind when my independence obviously pays off.â
âWho will you have then?â Shigemo retaliates with a whimper in his voice. âYou know that Iâm the only one that will tolerate you. Itâs not like you can go crawling to Gojââ
âFinish that sentence and see what happens,â Geto hisses, causing the other man to fall into a forced silence.
Your eyes finally land on the small space between the fireplace and a pillar. Itâs a space large enough for you to fill and efficient enough to hide you from sight. Unsticking your feet from the ground, you make a run for the small space, only for you to forget about the obstacle that was the ottoman sitting spitefully on the floor.
The thud that comes from your body almost rivals the volume of the door slamming open moments earlier and just like the door, it attracts unneeded attention. Geto and Shigemo stop their bickering for a moment to search for the cause of the sound, only to see you humiliatingly face first on the floor. Geto narrows his eyes at the sight of you, an unwanted visitor in his home.Â
A pained groan slips from your lips accidentally. You silently curse yourself for not taking the time to properly break into the tantalizing loafers Yuki bought you the day prior and wince at the pain blooming from your knees and chest. When you finally get up, you canât help but notice that everything around you seems rather⊠hazy.
âWho is thatâŠâ Shigemo mutters.
Geto bites back a sigh and instead, pinches the bridge of his nose. He supposes that despite your improved mannerisms, your clumsiness still has yet to dissipate. Annoyed, he grunts out, âOne of my new assistants.â
Shaking his head, Geto decides to deal with you later. His home is already suffocated with one individual, he doesnât need another clogging the atmosphere up. He returns his attention back to Shigemo. âI thought I told you to leave,â he states, shoving his bag towards him.
Shigemoâs face paints a horrified expression once again. âGeto, please rethink this,â Shigemo pleads.Â
He lets out a chain of pleads and excuses for himself as Geto essentially escorts him out with just walking towards him, his face still icy. Shigemo ends up on the other side of the door to his penthouse and itâs there where his patheticness exudes the mostâhe falls on his hands and knees like a beggar, claiming heâd do anything and everything just to be by his side.Â
But his voice is suddenly cut short when Geto finally slams the door in his face, the thickness of them guarding him from Shigemoâs whines. He lets out another sigh and locks up the door securely before dealing with the other parasite in his house.
âI donât think dropping off a book should take longer than thirty seconds,â Geto drawls as he saunters towards the living room, where youâre still on all fours on the floor, your hands tapping around. âSo tell me, why are you still here?â
At the sound of his sharp tone, you freeze. Youâre sure you looked utterly stupid and a mess right now, considering that you had just lost a fight to an ottoman out of all things, but you couldnât let Geto see you in such a state. It didnât take you long to realize that the reason why everything around you looked so blurry was because of your now-missing glasses that you attempted to look around for. But you pulled a Velma, and just like her, you canât see without your glasses.
Everyone thinks itâs an exaggeration when you state that you felt utterly naked without them, but you truly did. Youâve been wearing glasses ever since childhood and you really didnât appreciate the looks you had gotten when you were younger when at times youâd take them off. Some complained that your eyes were too small, too bigâothers mentioned you looked âoffâ and âweirdâ without them. Either way, comments from the other children stuck with you like scars, and ever since then, you refused to be seen without them.Â
âI a-apologize,â you stutter, shuffling your body to hide behind the recliner so Geto wouldnât see how much of a clutter you are. Youâve humiliated yourself too much already in the office and the last thing you truly need is for you to get fired merely because your curiosity got the better of you. âI was about to head out and th-then I heard your voice from upstairs andââ
Your words fall deaf on Getoâs ears. He lets out another groan while stretching the aching muscles in his neck as he closes in on your disorderedness. A hand goes to shield your faceâyou donât want him to see the bareness of your face, especially since you didnât bother wearing makeup today. You canât even bear the thought of him looking at it. In a rushed state, you wander around for your glasses with your head tucked in, using the remnants of your hair to curtain your face.
A jumble of excuses tumble out of your quivering lip, but Geto is too preoccupied with the gleam of something catching his eye. Laying flat on the floor are a pair of glasses that doesnât take Geto long to presume who they belong to. He plucks them from the ground and examines them for a brief moment before holding them above you.Â
âI assume these are yours,â he asserts with a cocked brow.
Your head snaps up at the sound of his voice directly right above you and through your foggy field of vision is the seraphic figure of Geto holding what seems to be your glasses. Lips escaping a relieved gasp, you hurriedly scramble to your feet. Your eyes are too poor to see it properly, but Geto also shares surprise, but for an entirely different reason.
He doesnât give you the sanity that is your glasses right away, because heâs much too preoccupied studying your face. Itâs so⊠fresh. Your glasses were hiding such a view, like curtains to a window that unveiled the utmost rare and breathtaking sights. The way your eyes are wide open, pupils blown with a touch of singularity makes him even more intrigued because of how theyâre uniquely placed onto your face along with the rest of your features. Your lips, plump with a natural sheen to themâyour cheekbones, perfectly rounded. The slope of your nose fell just right. Geto studies it like an artist to a blank canvas, devoid of anything yet holding just the perfect amount of spaceâwanting, waiting to be filled with anything and everything.
When his eyes stare at you in what seems to be bewilderment, you swallow thickly and look away. But you can only glance at your surroundings for less than a second before Geto takes your chin between his thumb and forefinger, turning your face toward him again. Itâs then that you realize that Geto isnât staring at you, but your face as a whole. His eyes flick with small movements, dancing about as they go from eyebrow to lips, freckle to lash, examining each and every single particle that your face has to offer.
You feel a heat creep onto your cheeks. Youâre not sure whether itâs because of the closeness you and him share or the fact that you canât detect his opinions on the one thing youâve been disclosed about for years, but either way, you feel weak in the knees; it only worsens when Getoâs thumb brushes over the entirety of your bottom lip, feeling the plushness of it on his the pad of his finger.
âHas your face always been this openâŠ?â he murmurs softly as he studies the various angles of your face.Â
You arenât sure whether itâs a compliment or insult, either or neither. Getoâs tone always had a sort of bleakness to it, but in this very moment, you truly canât tell what heâs thinking.Â
âMy glassesâŠâ is all you manage to squeak out, fighting the urge to squirm in his grasp. Another gulp goes down your dry throat when Getoâs face contorts to an irritated confusion before he realizes his other hand holds the one thing dear to your heart.Â
âOh,â he mutters and hands them back to you. His opposing hand finally goes to release your face. âRight.â
Shaking hands go to put them back onto your face again. Sighing internally of relief of your now crystal-clear surroundings, you dust yourself off with your head once more, tucked into your chest.Â
âIâm so sorry for this,â you whisper. The heat on your face has now spread to the entirety of your body, your nerves alight with the rush of adrenaline. âI-Iâll make sure this never happens again⊠good night.â
With that, you scurry yourself out before Geto has the chance to falter. All words to urge you to stay to either scold you or excuse you evaporate on his tongue. He can only watch in a strange silence as your figure rushes down the hall and out the doors, the click of them ringing out in his penthouse.
After moments of self-paralysis, an unknown feeling boils inside the pit of Getoâs stomach. He thinks heâs seen your face before with the familiarity of it unsettling him. The ghost of your face prances about in his mind as he slowly climbs the stairs to his sewing room, ignoring the shattered wine glass on the floor thrown by Shigemo. He instead, refills his own glass again with the nearby bottle of merlot wine and savoring the thickness of it running down his dry throat, embellishing in its warmth.
A single, large window faces the busy nighttime street and Geto walks and stills near it, watching carefully as the speck of your figure on the street below calls for a cab. He eyes how you turn towards the building one more time, doing your usual adjustment of your glasses (itâs a habit you often do in times of nervousness, heâs picked up) before you shuffle yourself into a cab that speeds off into the night.
Geto lets out an annoyed click of his tongue. Something about your face seems haunting and he doesnât enjoy it. The last thing that he needed for today was even more plaguing thoughts in his head after the loss of his muse not even just ten minutes ago, but now with your face staining the back of his head, his jaw grits in irritation. In a poor attempt to take his mind off the excursion of today and the future, he shuffles about his many sketchbooks to look for any designs he could pluck out for his latest collection.Â
Itâs an hour in, two glasses of wine later, and somehow, he still hasnât found a single piece to begin working on that fits into his theme. Miraculously, through the vast array of what is thought to be thousands of sketches, Geto hasnât found one that stood out to him until he gets to the last sketchbook. Itâs an early oneâhe thinks it dates back to his early college days, when he was just beginning to peek into the world of fashion. A pang of nostalgia hits him all of a sudden when he flips to a specific page that was the start of his history.
Itâs the very design that had the attention of many designers. The sketch featured a gold and red embellished outfit, a sheen of glittering flickers adorning it. The shirt features a mosaic of gold and small flecks of color here and there, imitating the many church mosaics heâd often admired as a child. The skirt and collar of the shirt were the same shade of blood red, crimson gems bespeckling them.Â
Itâs not the outfit, however, that makes his eyes harden. Why would it? Heâs seen it many times before. Itâs been brought up over and over againâin interviews, in magazines. Itâs one of the staples that made Geto the pillar that he is. He knows every detail of it, much like his other designs, so it isnât the design of the outfit that made him appalled. Itâs instead, the person thatâs wearing it.Â
Because somehow, the eerie sketch of the modelâs face that he had drawn years agoâŠ
⊠somehow replicates your own face perfectly.

A happy ending but one that he has to work at
Friends with Benefits | Kylian Mbappé
Pairing: Kylian Mbappé x Female Reader
Word Count: 2.8K
Warnings: Sexual theme
A/N: Hello my loves ! This was supposed to be posted over the weekend but got delayed because I didnât know how to end this. This is the original request. I hope you guys enjoy !
Also, requests are open .xx
(Y/F/N) - Your Friendâs Name
Itâs match day, which calls for my routine meet up with Kylian - we meet for most of his matches and sometimes we donât. Iâm always the reason when we donât meet on match days because Iâm trying my best to avoid him, but Iâm failing miserably. Donât get me wrong, heâs beyond amazing but I broke our rule.
Weâre friends with benefits - everyone knows how it goes and whatâs the end result, but yet people still believe theyâll never catch feelings. Itâs always one person, the deal turns sour and thatâs the end of the relationship. I guess Iâll be the cause of that.
I never attended his matches because firstly Iâm not his girlfriend and secondly, we both have to be as low-key as possible. Our meet ups usually go with me going over to his place, watch the match from there, no matter the result we have some fun when he gets back and either Iâll spend the night or leave as soon as I can.
Besides the fun of friends with benefits, we actually grew to be quite good friends I would say over the time of us meeting. Weâd spend our time in bed talking about his matches or other personal things that heâd want to get off his chest and I would be his confidant. Likewise, I felt comfortable to share things in my life with him as well that Iâd usually not tell just anyone. It just felt right in the moment and weâd both just forget the whole reason behind why we were in bed together in the first place.
Tonight itâs AC Milan vs PSG. I got dressed and just before leaving, I gave myself one last look in the mirror - tonight I need to confess.
I let myself into his house and got comfortable whilst watching the match, but of course that didnât last long because I was already up on my feet yelling at the TV screen.
The time between post match and Kylian coming home felt so quick since I wasnât paying attention to the time. I heard his footsteps and him attempting to unlock the door, I suddenly felt a shiver run through my spine and my hands had started to get clammy. Iâm not ready.
â(Y/N)!â He called as he entered. âIn the loungeâ I answered. âI got here as soon I could. I couldnât stop thinking about you all day. I missed youâ he smiled as he approached me and pulled me by my waist against his chest. âCongrats on the win today!â I smiled as I placed my hands on his chest. âThanks, well, youâre just what I needed after thatâ he grinned as he placed his finger under my chin and pulled me in for a kiss.
I couldnât help but kiss him back. Our lips moved in sync and it started to get heated by the second as my arms wrapped around his neck whilst his hands trailed down my neck. He broke away from my lips as his kisses trailed down my neck. His hands were about to start unbuttoning my shirt until reality slapped me in the face. âKylian. Waitâ I said as I placed my hands on his. âWhat ! Whatâs wrong ? Did I do something ?â He asked concerned. âNo noâŠI just uhm⊠I wanted us to talk about something firstâ I hesitantly said.
âOkay letâs talkâ he said as we both sat next to each other on the couch. Time to cut to the chase. âThis needs to stop.â
âWait, what ? But why ? What did I do ?â âItâs not you. Itâs meâ I sighed and looked down at my fingers. âWhat do you mean ?â He asked âThis has been going on for 3 months. It started off great and donât get me wrong, it still is. However, we had an agreement that if one of us breaks the rule then we have to come clean about it. Unfortunately I canât continue living a lie much longer. It hurts me every time just being nothing but a flingâŠ.I caught feelings, Kylianâ my heart was racing uncontrollably.
He remained silent before taking a deep breath. âLook (Y/N) these last 3 months were amazing, but Iâm sorry I canât say the same about catching feelings. Iâm not really interested in being in a relationship right now because Iâm focused on football. I canât get distracted right nowâ he carelessly said. I pressed my lips together in hopes that the emotional side of me will go away. âI know this changes everything, but I mean if you still want to be friends with benefits then Iâm fine with that. If you donât and want to walk out of this now, I wonât stop youâ he said. I canât believe him right now. I just felt like curling myself into a ball and crying my eyes out.
âWow⊠Iâm just a distraction huh ? I think Iâm gonna just goâ I cleared my throat as I stood up. âWait (Y/N) I didnât mean it like that, I mean I donât have the time to be in a relationship right now. I just want to have funâ he said as he stood up. âGood to know that I donât fit in the agendaâ I faked a smile before walking over to grab my bag. â(Y/N) donât be like that. We can move past this. Just stayâ he grabbed a hold of my hand to stop me.
âI think this is for the best. I canât continue living a lie and how long do we expect to keep this going ?â I said lastly before pulling my hand away from him. â(Y/N) letâs talk it outâ he said as he followed me to the door. âKylian. Youâre already making this harder for me. Just stop. Let this all be in the pastâ I took a deep breath and paused. âGood luck on your career. I wish you nothing but the bestâ I said lastly before closing the door and leaving.
I didnât even realise I was crying until a tear fell on the screen of my phone. I made it back home, thankfully, immediately dressed down and got myself some ice cream to eat my sorrows away whilst watching a sad movie.
Kylian tried calling numerous times and even sent me countless messages but I chose to ignore it. All good things come to an end, as fun as friends with benefits wasâŠeventually one of us would have to pull out of that phase to get into a real relationship for our future. He may not be concerned about getting serious right now but I sure as hell am. It shatters me that he didnât feel anything in these 3 months weâve been together - it was just lust for him I guess. So all those late nights where we were being honest and confided in each other was just a wasteâŠ
Itâs been a week since I last saw Kylian physically, it was hard not to see him when heâs all over my social media even though I unfollowed so many accounts. Besides that, he still attempted to call and message me numerous times apologising but I just left him on read.
(Y/F/N) had came over after ages, she was a mutual friend of both Kylian and I, all she knew was that we were somewhat seeing each other. We left out the part that we were in a situationship. She actually took notice of my absence in Kylianâs life because according to her, he changed in the past week. I wasnât buying it, I just assumed she was siding with him. I told her that us seeing each other didnât work because he didnât have genuine feelings like I did.
My depression was apparently very much evident that her mood had switched to sympathising with me. She acted quick to change my mood, she thought the best remedy for my depression was to move on. I couldnât agree more. She surprised me when she said that she could picture me dating a friend of hers named, Carlos, if not Kylian then he was apparently the first runner up. Upon hearing the name, I was already keen on moving on in hopes that maybe Iâll finally get a happy ending.
Later in the afternoon after (Y/F/N) left, there was a knock at the door. I answered it and was greeted by a delivery guy. â(Y/N) (Y/L/N) ?â He asked. âYes ? Thatâs meâ I furrowed my brows. âThese are for youâ he said as he motioned to the massive bouquet of red roses that was placed beside him. âOh wowâ I said under my breath. âYeah, you got yourself a lucky man. Have a good day !â He greeted me before he left. I was stood speechless at the door. The bouquet was so heavy, I struggled to even place it onto the counter top. My eyes searched for a card but I found absolutely nothing. Maybe itâs from Carlos after (Y/F/N) put in a word for me.
(Y/F/N) had suggested that Carlos, myself and her have a friendly dinner tonight to get to know each other a bit and so we both donât feel uncomfortable just yet. I know (Y/F/N) is trying to help, but at the same time I donât want to go on a date with this guy if he ends up being a bore or even worse, arrogant.
I had a shower, did my hair and makeup before slipping into my dress, and heels. I grabbed my bag and phone before leaving as my Uber arrived.
Luckily they were already there so I didnât have to awkwardly wait alone. I mentioned (Y/F/N)âs name for the reservation and was escorted inside to where they were seated. âHello !â I greeted enthusiastically. (Y/F/N) ran over to hug me first before breaking away and introducing Carlos. âCarlos, (Y/N). (Y/N), Carlosâ she motioned. âYouâre even more beautiful in personâ he said as he kissed the back of my hand. âOh.. well thank youâ i felt the heat rush to my cheeks. âYouâre welcomeâ (Y/F/N) said lowly to me.
As we all got seated, (Y/F/N) and Carlos were across me. I was just about to place my bag on the empty seat beside me until I heard that all too familiar voice. âSorry Iâm late.â Youâve got to be kidding me.
âWell finallyâ Carlos said as he then stood up to shake his hand. âHey bestieâ (Y/F/N) said as she stood up to greet him as well. His eyes were on me the entire time, not even breaking eye contact when he hugged (Y/F/N).
âChĂ©rieâ he said lowly enough for only me to hear. âKylianâ I said as I faked a smile and stood up to greet him. As petty as I wanted to be, I didnât want Carlos to question the tension. Kylian took advantage of the situation as he placed his hand on my lower back and pulled me in for a hug before kissing my cheeks. How lovely, heâs sitting next to me.
Dinner was going well as Carlos opened up about himself and happened to ask me a lot of questions about myself, up until Kylian placed his hand on my thigh. My body froze and I felt goosebumps form on my skin. I placed my hand on top of his to swat his hand away, but of course a few seconds later he does the same thing again with his hand even higher up my thigh. When his fingers were close to my inner thigh, I quickly excused myself, âWould you guys excuse meâ I smiled before abruptly standing up and walking towards the bathroom.
Before I could even get to the entrance of the bathroom, I was pulled by my arm and had my back against a corner wall. âWhat the-â I said till I saw Kylianâs face. âCan you leave me alone and let me go ?â I said as I pulled my arm away from his. âYouâre ignoring me for the past week and I wanted to talk to youâ he said. âWell this is obviously not the place or the time, excuse meâ I said as I tried to walk away. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me back against the wall. I hate to admit that i have butterflies and it felt like my skin was burning when he touched me.
âWhat is it ?â I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest. âYou look so beautiful, itâs distractingâ he smirked. âThank you ?â I furrowed my brows in confusion. âJust hear me out.. I know I was wrong and Iâm so sorry for not even wanting to give us a try. Since youâve been away, I felt so empty and it was so obvious that you were missing from my life, I didnât realise how you completed me. I missed talking to you about literally anything, I missed having you by my side and waking up to your beautiful face. I need you (Y/N) because I love youâ he said. I stood speechless. Someone pinch me. âOw !â I rubbed my arm. âYou said to pinch youâ he shrugged. âI canât believe I just said that out loud.â
âSo chĂ©rie, will you forgive me and give us a chance ?â He asked hopeful. âI need some time Kylian. This all happened so quickly. I have so many unanswered questions that-â âOkay then ask me a question !â He said. âWeâre wasting too much of time, theyâre gonna get suspiciousâ I said as I started walking. âBy the way did you like the roses ?â He asked. I stopped in my tracks, âThat was you ?â I asked in shock. âWhy are you surprised ?â He asked. âWell firstly you didnât send a note and secondly, I assumed it was Carlosâ I shrugged. He seemed to get annoyed by the mention of Carlosâ name as he walked ahead of me without another word. âKy !â I called for him.
Luckily Carlos and (Y/F/N) didnât question how long we were gone, I guess they were so caught up in their own conversation because they didnât even notice Kylian and I when we were back. Kylian was distant for the rest of the evening and luckily dinner was cut short since Carlos had to go. Turns out (Y/F/N) was leaving with Carlos so that just leaves Kylian and I alone. âAre you coming over to my place ?â He asked. âFor what ?â I raised a brow. âTo talk things out and besides that..I have a surprise for youâ he grinned. âYou know I hate surprisesâ I rolled my eyes. âIâm aware thatâs the only thing that could convince you to come with meâ he said proud. âI really hate youâ I shook my head as I followed him to the car.
Once we got to his place, it felt weird knowing that I was once coming here so often to not coming at all. âOkay close your eyesâ he said when we were at the door. âBut why ?â I asked. âYouâre so stubborn, youâre ruining my surpriseâ he shook his head as he placed his hand over my eyes. He used his other hand to guide me into the house, I could envision where everything was with my eyes close. âKylian, youâre scaring meâ I said as I took small steps. âAlmost thereâ he said lowly. âOkay..open nowâ he said. I blinked my eyes open to see the house decorated in candles and a trail of roses.
âOh my goshâ I said lowly. âDo you like it ?â He asked. âKy, I didnât know you had this in youâ I said in awe. âIâm offended that you donât think Iâm romanticâ he shook his head. âI mean deep down I knew you were but I didnât think that Iâd get to see that side of youâ I pouted. âWell, you surely got the romantic side of me. Iâve never done this for anyone and I wanted you to feel special, especially to make up for the past week. These are just small things, you deserve better chĂ©rieâ he sighed. âI think I got exactly what I need right hereâ I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Instinctively he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him against his chest.
âI really love you. I never thought I could miss someone so much until you were gone. I deserved being left on readâ he laughed. âYou sure did.. I think I shouldâve sent the roses back as wellâ I teased. âOkay now that would be pushing it, I wouldâve been heart broken for the rest of my lifeâ he pouted. âYou would feel my painâ I smiled. âI already felt your pain when you already moved onto Carlosâ he rolled his eyes. âYou didnât even give me a chance to move on. You crashed our friends date, you played with my mind by placing your hand on my thigh and calling me pet names when you normally call me-â He cut me off by placing his lips on mine. âYouâre talking too muchâ he said in between kisses as it got heated.

Hey there, iâm so happy I found your tumblr, itâs been such a joy to read and a validation for my own theories and observations.
I wanted to ask about your thoughts on Italy. You mentioned multiple times that youâre an Italy truther and so am I, I always felt like something went down in Italy and it was pivotal. The way it started off with them clearly beefing and throwing shade at each other and by the end of it they came out better than before which I find interesting. Following Italy, we had the NY premier, which A showed up to and we have that video of N hugging her which looked very off fo me and then we had the infamous BRAZIL. I just really would love your thoughts on what you suspect happened from the start of Italy to Brazil specially that there was A appearance in the middle of all of that and how you think it may have impacted L/Nâs behavior, conversations moving forward with the tour.
So I guess my question has 2 parts:
First, what the hell happened in Italy? lol
Second, your theories around Aâs surprise appearance in NY between the Italy and Brazil and how that affected the dynamics between L/N/A.
Thank you!!
Hello thank you, and welcome!!!!
Italy
I shared some of my thoughts on that here. Basically, I think there was a significant emotional release between them after Milan, they had a major conversation addressing pent up deep feelings that they had been keeping from each other for a while, and then got on the same page emotionally. I also personally think that by Verona, they were physically acting on those feelings as well, which is why I think we saw such a positive shift in the nonverbal cues between them. This is also when we started getting the "boyfriend" pics of L, which I think was VERY significant. I think multiple things went down with them in private in Verona, and I think they acknowledged thier deep connection and had some major realizations that their romantic feelings for each other were reciprocated. Now, did A know about all this? I am almost certain that she did. Which might have resulted in what happened/the energy at the NYC premiere...
NYC Premiere
This premiere was VERY interesting to me. Here are my thoughts in relation to what was going on between L/N/A:
I think that a lot of the nervous energy that we saw from L (besides the fact that he just doesn't do that great with red carpets) came from the fact that he was very anxious about A getting out to the press, ESPECIALLY with everything that I believe went down between L/N in Italy. I have mentioned before but I believe there was some overlap between L/A, AND I believe that L did not want to come out as being in any type of relationship while he was on the tour. I do not believe this relationship with A was ever very serious for L, BUT I think A, as I have said, had had her sights set on riding his coattails and trying to get fame/attention from being in his orbit. And that hadn't quite panned out, so she was holding on for dear life because she saw an opportunity slipping away.
Therefore, I believe A surprised him at the premiere, and he was kind of flipping out for various reasons.
I am going to say this once, and I am very confident in this. N & A are NEVER going to be friends!! NOT. GOING. TO. HAPPEN. So personally, and this is just a theory, but I think that hug between them and getting it leaked to the internet was A sending a message to L and making it almost impossible for L to quietly untangle himself at that point. Because I think he was already starting to pull away.
I also always found it very interesting that NOTHING came out to the press about A being his girlfriend at the event when a TON of people saw her at the premiere. But then she was introduced officially ON THE DAY OF THE PART 2 PREMIERE đ€ Like something just STINKS, and A is so messy and not subtle, that it isn't that difficult to see a lot of the roads lead back to her on all this...
I think it was also very telling that L went with N to the Chaos Dinner (which is totally not his normal scene). Yes, maybe it was for the exposure, but with the nature of the event, I think he went FOR N. And they were looking đ„đ„đ„
So I feel overall that by NYC, L/N were seriously thinking about moving forward with a romantic relationship sometime after the tour ended, A was STARTING her spiral, showed up to make a statement (I truly don't think he had anticipated her showing up or wanted her there tbh), L had to appease her the rest of the trip in NYC + he probably felt kind of guilty about how everything went down, and L/N kind of had to keep a lot of things (their energy with each other) on the DL because A was at the event.
We also have to remember that this event was literally RIGHT after Italy, so I am SURE emotions were high and L/N were dealing with a lot of complex things BTS.
And then I believe all of these heightened emotions between L/N came to a climax (no pun intended đ) when they got to Brazil, and A went into FULL freak out mode (which I talked about here), but L/N were getting closer and closer, which is how we got what we did for the rest of the tour (which I have talked about in my timeline theories).
#lukola theories#timelines#nyc premiere#italy#I just LOVE the little 3x hand squeeze L gave N on the red carpet because he was nervous#IT WAS SOOO CUTE đ#But yeah the vibes were definitely kind of weird at the NYC premiere

If Caravaggio were alive today today, he would have loved the cinema; his paintings take a cinematic approach. We filmmakers became aware of his work in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and he certainly was an influence on us. The best part for us was that in many cases he painted religious subject-matter but the models were obviously people from the streets; he had prostitutes playing saints. Thereâs something in Caravaggio that shows a real street knowledge of the sinner; his sacred paintings are profane.
Martin Scorsese on Caravaggio
Michelangelo Merisi, known to most of us as âCaravaggio,â was born on September 29, 1571 in Milan, Italy, to parents who were from the small town of Caravaggio. In the span of his 38 years long life he revolutionised painting with innovations like a unique use of chiaroscuro - with dark shadows contrasting with dramatic areas of light - and a deep sense of realism that later inspired the Baroque movement. But most of all, he developed such an iconic style that most of us can probably look at a painting and know if itâs a Caravaggio, or Caravaggio-inspired.Â
Merisi spent the first few years of his life in Milan, studying painting, and later moved to Rome, where his early talent impressed Cardinal Del Monte, who introduced the young painter to other high-profile Catholic figures who became commissioners of some of Caravaggioâs best work. It seemed there was no end to the artistâs creative genius. Caravaggio, much to his patronâs delight, would pump out one masterpiece after another. It seemed the more out of control his personal life became (cheating, brawling and murder were standard fare), the more his art would become more refined, more potent.
In the long list of masterpieces he left behind, both secular and religious works stand out. But it is perhaps in his religious works that the artistic transition of the master is more evident. Caravaggio is, in fact, known to have changed his style after harsh personal life experiences led him to reassess his outlook on life.
In May of 1606 Caravaggio took part in a deadly brawl in Rome and was charged with murder. He fled to Malta, in search of asylum from the Order of Saint John, a Catholic order dedicated to helping the sick and the poor. The order commissioned some of the most important late life works of the Milanese artist.
It is in these works that we notice the shift in Caravaggioâs art, from a strong focus on aesthetics to an interest in the spirituality of his subjects, which critics believe was motivated by his own introspection.
On the streets surrounding the churches and palaces, brawls and sword fights were regular occurrences. In the course of this desperate life Caravaggio created the most dramatic paintings of his age, using ordinary men and women - often prostitutes and the very poor - to model for his depictions of classic religious scenes.
By representing biblical characters in a naturalistic fashion, typically through signs of aging and poverty, Caravaggio's populist modernisation of religious parables were little short of trailblazing. Although not without his critics within the church, by effectively humanising the divine, Caravaggio made Christianity more relevant to the ordinary viewer.
For some, though, his art was too real. Bare shoulders, plunging necklines, severed heads; this raw humanity didnât always fly in 17th century Rome. As a result, many of his pieces were rejected as altar pieces and as church hangings. One such piece, the Madonna of Loretto (now hanging in a church in Rome) was widely criticised upon its unveiling. The people of the day were shocked to behold the Mother of God leaning nonchalantly against a wall in her bare feet while holding baby Jesus in her arms.
It is ironic that the very art that today we consider âclassicalâ and âiconicâ to the Catholic faith was considered questionable and perhaps void of modesty and virtue. Yet, the fact remains that no individual artist has made such a lasting impression on the world of modern art. Truly, many have called Caravaggio the âfirst modern artistâ. It is no surprise, then, that his style has sparked both widespread admiration and imitation throughout the centuries.
Before Pope John Paul II refined a theology of the body beautiful, Caravaggio's paintings suggested a reverence for the inherent beauty of human form.
Troubled though he may have been, his art speaks eloquently of the dignity of the mundane. Though the original medium may be weathered and cracked, the message of beauty still echoes down the centuries. And this same beauty still fuels, escapes and reduces artists to relentless seekers as surely and as forcefully as it did in Caravaggio's life.

comprehensive list of my favorite cycling moments in no particular order
the Mont Ventoux incident: twelfth stage of the 2016 tour de france. Sir Chris Froome is comfortbaly leading both the stage and the GC, wearing the maillot jaune. Less than 1k to go and the unthinkable happens: too many people are standing on the road and one of the motorbikes at the front suddenly brakes, resulting in one insane shot of Richie Porte face-planting against the camera. The result? Both Bauke Mollema and Chris Froome crash (no injuries for them, luckily) and Chris Froome's bike BREAKS. PANIC. It's very important to note that at this point team cars are stuck behind and are unable to reach him (both because of the narrow street and the absolutely staggerig amount of people there). So what does Chris Froome do? He starts running marathon style, ready to defend his advantage on the other GC guys tooth and nail. In the end he did keep his lead (after a bike swap from hell and twenty minutes under an amount of stress that could have killed a horse) but BOY was it an Experience to watch live.
the tiny couch of Milano-Sanremo 2023: otheriwise known as the one bed trope cycling adaptation and, in my opinion, a mandatory addition to every post-race waiting room. Not a single person on this couch wanted to be there apart from pippo, who was doing a very bad job at hiding his amusement. Look at this, incredible.
Lorenzo Fortunato's win and Alberto Contador's consequent metal breakdown: overall an incredibly wholesome moment from the 2021 Giro D'Italia. Lorenzo Fortunato (then 25 years old, relatively new and upcoming rider) attacks on the Zoncolan, one of the most famous and gruelling climbs of the Giro: everybodyâs rooting for the kid, who then goes on to win the stage all by himself, reaching the top through apocalyptic weather. Admirable, right? Well, while all this was unfolding, Alberto Contador (who was at the time Eolo-Kometa's team manager) was live on Insta pacing around and having an absolute Moment on camera, literally hyperventilating and crying, begging everything and everyone for his protegĂ© to win. He then went on to promise to ride from Pinto (his hometown) to Milan as a celebration. Iconic.
Sepp Kuss' Vuelta victory: AKA the birth of a legend and of my personal GC Kuss agenda. Vuelta de España, 2023: domestique extraoirdinaire Sepp Kuss wins his first stage and he's VERY elated about it (as we all are, tbh), smiling and high-fiving people even before crossing the finish line. On the podium he truly becomes man of the people by chugging down half a bottle of champagne without batting an eye: man of the people right there. By this point no one is really thinking anything of it, weâre all just vibing, happy for a rider who is partecipating in his THIRD CONSECUTIVE Grand Tour of the year. But THEN. It slowly starts becoming clearer and clearer that Jumbo-Visma (rip) has not one, not two, but THREE (3) possible final GC contenders, which is alone a very bonkers concept. In the end Sepp manages to keep the lead despite what looks like a messy (?) situation management from Jumbo-Visma and a stage finish on Angliru where the Jumbo-Vismen seem to be riding all for themselves, sprinting away from Sepp. All in all a display of incredible strenght by both the team (winner of ALL three Grand Tours with THREE DIFFERENT riders. INSANE) and Sepp himself.
Last time trial stage of the 2020 Tour de France: I could easily write a PHD thesis about this day alone. NOTHING encapsulates the drama of sports quite like this particular moment. In one already very odd Tour de France, ridden in mid-September due to Covid restrictions, PrimoĆŸ Roglic absolutely DOMINATES the GC from the very beginning: his team is strong and he keeps the yellow jersey up until the end, to the point where nobody really expects anything major to happen. Cue Tadej PogaÄar (called by the italian commentators "il ragazzino terribile" aka "the terrible boy"), fellow countryman of PrimoĆŸ: heâs won a couple of stages and he's shown his worth, finding himself in a very honorable second place in the GC with a 57'' gap from the leader. Which could mean nothing. SO. Here comes the final TT, the very last chance for riders to try and make up some time before Paris: PrimoĆŸ is an excellent TT rider and he's got enough time over Tadej, which should grant him a comfortable victory or, at least, not too much lost time, right? WRONG. OH BOY. Tragedy unfolds as soon as Tadej starts his race and makes it clear that he's out for BLOOD: he clearly doesn't care about second place, he wants the yellow!!!!!! And so we're stuck at home, watching silently as this KID slowly makes up time, second by painful second, all while PrimoĆŸ is having the mother of all shit days on the bike, struggling so much that it becomes harder and harder for him to maintain his hard-earned lead. Tadej goes on to win the stage (surpassing Tom Dumoulin and Wout van Aert, who had both ridden an incredible TT) and, more importantly, his fist Tour at just 21 years old. I still get chills thinking about it. Fun fact: in Paris, Tadej wil also wear both the white and the polka-dot jersey. Totally normal behaviour.
Giulio Ciccone and his close call with excommunication: Tirreno-Adriatico 2023. Giulio is giving out an interview to a fellow italian journalist after the stage, when suddenly one team car speeds up behind him and very narrowly misses him, almost clipping his bike in the process. The result is Giulio breathing life into the infamous "porca mado.....nza", which is a revised version of an extremely NASTY type of blasphemy against the virgin mary. Iconic in its own way, threatened to take down catholicism as a whole in one clean swoop. 10/10.
Geraint Thomas' leadout for Mark Cavendish: last stage of the 2023 Giro d'Italia, Geraint Thomas has made peace with the fact that heâs lost his chance at winning La maglia Rosa. The peloton is steadily approaching the finish line and sprinters are getting ready to give it all for the win: suddenly, we see Geraint Thomas putting himself right in front of the leading group, effectively becoming Mark Cavendish's leadout man, guiding him to a beautiful final win in Rome (mind you, this was supposed to be Mark's last year before retirement). They're not teammates, so Geraint Thomas had no reason to do it except for the fact that he's known Mark for the better part of twenty years and he wanted to help him: INSANE narratives, we all cried at the sight of the two old men embracing eachother like little kids. SIGH
2023 Road-Race World Championship. This place has everything: rainy weather, beautiful landscapes, highland cows, Mathieu van der Poel taking a dump in a newly renovated house, childhood rivals standing together on a podium, Pogi in neon green. Also known as the day Mathieu van der Poel went from Good Rider to Insane Supernatural Being: from attacking with 20k to go in what probably was the hardest course ever designed in a Road Race World Championship ever, falling down while all the team cars were unreachable, tearing off a piece of his own fucked up shoe because it was bothering him, to winning while sopping wet and crying. INSANE. Bonus: this absurd newspaper front page that I wish I had framed in my living room.

Back when I had my Anon inbox open I used to get a lot of hate from people who couldn't understand why I hate XFX so much. This post is for you.
This is a fan repo from one of the more prominent C-turtles who was at the events in Milan. This is a machine translation so some things might not be entirely accurate, but hopefully you can get the overall message.
Someone asked me why they saw yellow balloons at the show at the beginning, but then there were no more? Below, there are many words:
Before departure, our Three Kingdoms Turtles jointly prepared hundreds of tri-color balloons. Colorful balloons are very suitable for all festivals and ceremonies, and they are our CPF representative colors. People in the fashion industry are happy and supportive when they see them, and Zhan Zhan sees them. Turtles are here.
It was raining heavily in Milan that day, so we arrived at the scene at 5:30 and stood in the second row. We abide by the order and know that there are solo fans in front of us. In order not to offend each other, we even chat as quietly as possible.
At almost 8:30, we started to blow up yellow balloons. At that time, we heard the commotion from the surrounding solo fans. After all, it was in front of an international show. In order to live in peace, we temporarily decided to only blow up yellow balloons (because we were also verbally attacked and attacked by solo fans last year when we were supporting Milan, due to threats, the final agreement was that we put down a few green balloons and they wouldnât use banners to block our view).
As a result, not long after our yellow balloons were lifted up, a solo fan kept pricking our balloons with the tip of the umbrella. We kept hiding, but we couldn't resist the solo fan who kept pricking the balloons like crazy. After the bang, those fans cheered: "Yeah! Well done! One more! One more! One more!"
We loudly warned them in English: "Be careful with your words and deeds. This is a show, not a place for you to make trouble!"
They started to completely block our view with umbrellas and said, "Then you won't even get to see him." There was a passerby fan behind us who couldn't help but scolded: "Why are you guys so domineering? We can't even watch other celebrities if we want to?! It's so ruining the popularity of passersby!" (We turned around and asked her, and she is really a passerby fan, she dropped by to join in the fun to see all the celebrities).
But no matter how she yelled or scolded, the shrimps in the first row refused to listen and looked back, holding up the umbrellas resolutely. And every time a reporter came to take photos of fans, those solo fans would stand on small stools, elongate their bodies, and use balloons to try to cover us. Later, other passerby fans/ihan fans/thai fans started scolding: "You guys are ruining the popularity of passersby!"
The last "solo fan representative" finally turned around and said to us: "Put down the balloons and we will let you see him, otherwise you will not be able to see him today."
We flew to Milan from all over Europe and stood in the heavy rain for 4 hours. No matter how warm we were, we still got wet. If we really couldn't see him, it would be so regretful and painful. Who knows when we put away the balloons, how aggrieved I felt at that moment!
Several passerby fans/ihan fans/thai fans around me said angrily: "Just tear off and break the umbrellas!" We said that this is an international show after all, and we don't want to fight here, or to escalate the conflict. Solo fans don't care about the reputation of their idol, but we can't be like solo fans and ignore it. After all, we sincerely hope everything goes well for Zhanzhan!
It was almost noon when we arrived at the Gucci show, and it was already bright. Moreover, many celebrities from the fashion industry had gathered at the venue early. We really didnât want to cause any trouble to the host on this occasion, so we simply gave up the balloons.
Originally, I didnât want to mention this offline conflict again online, until today I heard a turtle say that there were solo fans showing off outside the Gucci show: âI brought a pin to prick the CPF balloons today, and it really worked, hahahaha.â . . . . .
We went to the show to see our idol and to support him in everything he did! But the purpose of solo fans going to the scene was to attack?!
Love and dislike are really obvious. People who love understand structure, tolerance and coexistence; people who don't love will always only see violence, jealousy and harm in their eyes.
