Recap

~Eh. Not like it really mattered, he was just really fucking high and his brain was having a field day in his 'Shit we don't deal with' mind box.

The creaking of the studio door opened was what ended his reverie, a tall silhouette holding a disposable plastic bag in one hand and a bakery box in the other.~

The first thing that I noticed, was the headache. The second, once I had found my glasses, was the date.

"HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT!"

The clock showed 6:52, and given the slivers of dawn light seeping through the silk drapes, the rays dyed the color of blood as they filtered past, it was morning. That meant there were two hours to be ready and in the doors of UA in time for the exam. So yet again, shit.

It seemed that Huyang had changed my clothes when he brought me home last night- or really this morning, wincing at the memory of our phone call as I stripped, I made a mental note to apologize. Peeling off the large off-white silk nightshirt, I pivoted- turning to avoid the mirror and the sight of my body in all its glory. Padding my way across the ornate room, I entered the walk-in closet, thumbing my way through the layers upon layers of delicate fabric and embroidery, grinning while searching for something that really said, 'I'm a whore, but you won't call me out because you think I'm hot'.

Deft fingers rifled through the closet before halting on a cream silk blouse, the sleeves flaring wide before cinching in for a three inch cuff with a subtle gold trim and a deep lace-up V-neck. Further along it ended up paired with garnet skin-tight pants adorned with gold buttons and trim, and then, my favorite part. Accessories.

A black leather choker with a gold buckle, two thin gold cords at different lengths on the neck to accentuate the collarbone. Four gold bands around slender fingers- one with a ruby embedded, two long, double chain gold earrings, and four-inch cream cork heel zipper boots. 

Huyang texted as I was drawing on my eyeliner.

'I am outside.'

Gently snorting, I quickly shoot off a reply and move to apply the black over the other eye.

'doors open'

Quietly humming to myself, the sound of the heavy door opening and closing echoed from deeper in the room, and moments later, muted footsteps tapped behind me.

Placing down the eyeliner brush and uncorking a deep garnet lipstick, I grinned.

"Morning~"

Glancing at Huyang's reflection behind me in the mirror, he was staring with a single raised eyebrow. Letting out a questioning hum, I tilted my head towards him- waiting for him to speak whatever was so obviously lagging on his mind.

"I thought that you were going to try and, ah.. not stand out?"

Ah. Might have forgotten about that. Oh well.

Suddenly, a fox of a grin tore across my face, deliciously feral with teeth bared in a predatory mask, the slight curve at the upturned corners hinting towards less than innocent intentions.

3rd 

A flicker of trepidation crossed the brunette's features as he watched the blond smoothly arise from his chair- brushing his hair over his shoulder in a single, languid, movement, the grin never dissipating as he lowered in a mock-bow, hands dancing in a flourishing salute.
