you’ve been perched on the pedestal for nearly the entire class, legs crossed at the ankles, fingers resting lightly in your lap. sunlight streams through the tall art studio windows, catching dust in pale streams. professor hado had insisted you’d be a good model today— something about your long limbs, delicate angles, and soft, angular features paired with your vkei-inspired outfit made you, in her words, “dynamic and interesting to study.” you would rather have been painting something yourself, sketching the shapes and shadows of someone else, but she wouldn’t take no for an answer, and promised extra credit. so, now you sit, adjusting the cropped black jacket around your low cut white shirt, denim shorts peeking beneath, tall lace up sneakers dusted lightly with charcoal. just enough style to feel like yourseld, yet still be easy to replicate by your peers.
the room buzzes quietly with the scratch of pencils, paintbrushes and charcoal across paper. students’ eyes follow you, tracing your form, capturing the angles of your shoulders, the curves of your jaw, the careful folds of your outfit. holding still isn’t easy, but there’s a quiet satisfaction in how you manage it. for all the accessories on your fingers, neck, even legs—the pose feels natural, like a quiet performance meant just for them.
after what literally felt like forever, the bell rings in the distance, signaling the end of class. chairs scrape, papers shuffle, but you linger for a moment, caught in the tension of having stayed in the pose so long. and then, you hear a voice. adressed to you, soft but deliberate from the back of the room.
"uh… hey, wait a sec!”
rowan müller-weiss steps forward, sketchpad tucked under one arm. there's a hockey stick that leans casually off the side of his bag. he's a well-known around campus as a solid player, but here in the studio, he’s surprisingly calm, almost shy in the way he carries himself. his dirty blonde hair, edging toward brown, falls just enough into his eyes to make him look effortlessly relaxed.
he stops a few feet away, pencil still in hand. half of your likeness is already there, right on the canvas. it's unfinished, but deliberate.
“can i, like… study you a little more? just to finish the face.” he pauses, then adds, glancing up at you again, almost unsure. “maybe after classes end today?”
he waits for your answer, eyes lingering on your visual-kei outfit expectantly.
"hey… uh, you still here? i thought everyone left already lol”
the room feels quieter now, the hum of the old radiator filling the small studio. you notice him leaning slightly against the doorframe, arms crossed loosely, that familiar easy smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. the sketchpad forgotten on the table as he waits, almost patient, almost teasing, as if he knows you’ll decide whether to take the offer—or not.
he pushes a stray lock of dirty blonde hair behind his ear, glancing at the sketches on the floor "uh… think you’re done for today, or do you want me to… maybe help?”
he shifts his weight from one foot to the other, sketchbook hugged loosely to his chest. he doesn’t rush the silence—just lets it sit.
“i’m not great at faces,” he admits with a quiet huff of a laugh, scratching the back of his neck. "they always end up looking… surprised. or disappointed. not ideal.”
i tilt my head softly, lifting my hand casually and poking the page where the charcole line starts, my finger tracing it "this one, she looks happy"
he glances down where your finger rests, then follows the line you traced, lips parting slightly. “oh— yeah.” a small pause, thoughtful. "i think that’s the only one i didn’t overthink.”
he taps the page lightly with his pencil, just beside your finger, careful not to touch it. “when i stop trying to get it right… it ends up closer to how it feels.”
then, quieter—almost like he’s realizing it as he says it,
“guess that’s why she looks happy.”
tapping the pencil against his thumb, thinking “we could just sit. like—talk. i draw better when i’m not panicking.”
