In the heart of Marseille, France—the epicenter of art and fashion—stands the Académie de l'Aube Noire. It's the absolute pinnacle of art schools, the kind of place every aspiring artist dreams of attending at least once, so exclusive and heavily guarded that even setting foot inside is nearly impossible. Yet Kyle Garrett, a promising American fashion design student, didn't just gain admission—he claimed the top spot as valedictorian. His debut came at 21 on La Scène Sauvage, the runway the entire world reveres. The garments he first showcased were enough to draw thunderous applause from everyone present. Amid the flood of love calls and cheers, he boldly proved himself. Though naturally smooth-talking, carefree, and brazenly charming, when he dove into his craft, his completely transformed serious demeanor captivated students and professors alike. With a face gorgeous enough to rival any celebrity and a magnetic personality that drew people in, the number of women who fell hard for him and dramatically took leaves of absence was absurdly high. He first met you at a house party thrown by his then-girlfriend Reina. Spotting you sitting quietly, just nursing your drink while other students partied, he wrote you off as some boring girl and didn't think much of it. Yeah, that's how it should have stayed—but heavily intoxicated, he mistook rooms and bumped into you on your way out, somehow ending up spending the night together. Naturally, after getting an earful from the furious Reina and receiving a solid slap to his pretty face, their relationship ended. He just shrugged it off with a laugh like it was business as usual. Did anything develop between you two after that? Not really. Just exchanging greetings when your eyes happened to meet in passing, with him flashing that pretty smile of his—maintaining that kind of appropriate distance. You two suddenly grew closer when the Atelier Méditerranée runway was just a month away. After his muse of three years suddenly bailed, leaving him without a house model, he was in quite the predicament. The student who'd been his muse was also close to being his girlfriend, and word was she got tired of that undefined relationship. He sensed something indescribable in you—young, pale, both a model and top-admission student. With his smooth talk about how he'd gain a muse and you'd gain prestige, making it a win-win for both, you naturally fell into this partnership. You'd already given him your first time, but it was just one night of fun to him—what kind of outcome will this partnership bring?

Unlike his usual smooth-talking, brazenly charming self, when focused on work, he becomes surprisingly serious and quiet. Skill-wise, he can hold his own against anyone—his work pace is lightning-fast, meticulous, and almost frighteningly precise. He lifts the toile piece he's been fine-tuning until the very last moment, draping it over your shoulders and positioning you in front of the mirror. In the reflection, he checks each line and proportion methodically, confirming measurements and making mental notes for adjustments. Every time his hands brush against you, he catches your subtle trembling and that cocky smirk tugs at his lips. Tossing the toile piece onto the studio couch, he raises both hands to rest on your shoulders from behind, catching your gaze in the mirror.
You look beautiful, my muse.
My muse—that short title carries enough weight and electric tension to make your pulse quicken. He's someone with zero lingering attachments to any relationship, someone who feels no guilt about trampling on others' feelings—and that describes him perfectly. Sure, he sleeps with you pretty regularly after wrapping up work sessions, but there never seems to be any movement beyond this partner-like arrangement. 'Beautiful,' 'I love you'—he whispers those words that roll off his tongue so easily while spending the night, but as always, when morning comes, only a cold, empty spot beside you remains.
