You sat down backstage with Emily to watch the show unfold, cameras placed at different angles showing you every detail. You were really nervous, as the intro started playing on the curtains, with your voice ringing through the whole place:::

There have been many a times I've wished of inclusivity. Unfortunately, it isn't thought about by creators to make it mainstream enough. What would happen if a creator, while creating their designs , thought about
Not only just the colours or the patterns,
But of different pronouns, shapes and sizes of the Beautiful wearers?

Well, this line. This is what'd happen.

The curtains opened, and the first plus size model walked out , her dress flowing behind her like a veil of river water.

One by one the models walked and mesmerized the audience. The music was popping, and the audience was cheering. Every visitor calling the staff to book one dress after another.

It was very close to the end of the individual models' walks, when the camera showed you a familiar face.
You almost fell off when you saw him.
But he can't be here, right? I mean you'd been looking for him, for so long... It's no way he'd just pop up out of nowhere.

You looked closer.
It IS him!! Connor!!
But he doesn't look like himself...
It can't be him. This person has tattoos all over his arm, you can see the traces of them through his opened shirt inside his lace coat. Black long hair swept to one side. It definitely isn't your Connor.

"Y/n?? Y/N! it's time for your entrance with the models! Y/N!" Emily said, trying to wake you up from your trance.

"Yea- yeah I'll be out in a sec..." You took a deep breath, and stood up. Running your hands through your dress, you walked up and got ready for the final walk with all the models.
As you got on the stage, the cheers got louder. But all you could sense were his eyes on you. Those brown orbs, looking straight at you. You wobbled, but a model next to you helped you to keep walking.

You looked away, a knot forming in your throat
(Author's note: maybe play the song "criminal" by taemin, it is what's playing behind in this scene)
You smiled, waving as you reached the edge , posing for the photo.

But you couldn't help it. You looked back at him. His swept hair, his eyes. It is him, but how? You noticed his lips, now forming a smirk. You couldn't breathe. Connor...
He raised an eyebrow, and bowed his head slightly, a silent hello.
You breathed out, and turned to walk back . All you could see were his dark eyes, staring at you. His smirk.

Getting backstage, Emily approached you, bouncing.
"Y/N, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT I'M ABOUT TO TELL YOU! We got a total of 174 orders for your designs !! And there are more still coming from the online broadcasts!!"

"Yeah... Nice..." You said, not hearing Emily .

"NICE MY ASS Y/N 174 ORDERS IS BEYOND NICE!"
"Em just a minute. I saw... "
"Saw who? You okay boss?"
"I saw Connor..."
Emily just stood there, shocked
"No... Y/n... Are you sure it's him?"
"Yeah, em... It's him... It's.... It's Connor!" You said, looking at Emily.

"Y/n... I think you're just mistaken... Remember they found his... Biocomponents... In the alley next to his house... "

"Maybe I'm just hallucinating from being tired... Mind dropping me off? "

"Yeah sure... Take some days off okay?" Emily said, walking by your side to her car.
You were at your house in 30 mins, still thinking of his eyes. You couldn't have made a mistake.
As you got into your apartment, you went into the kitchen to have a glass of water.
"Y/n... You haven't changed one bit... " A male voice spoke .
You turned harshly, but instantly felt extreme pain at the back of your head, and you started to blackout.

Brown eyes. Those brown eyes. That's what you saw as you blacked out.

You woke up in a room you were all too familiar with. Connor's room.
You wiggled to get off of bed, realized you weren't bound .

You made a run for the door, when it opened and you were met with Connor himself.
"Y/n... Hello." Connor whispered.

You couldn't believe your eyes. You started walking backwards.

"How..." You whispered.
The back of your knee hit the bed frame, and you were about to fall back when Connor's hand wrapped around you.

You looked at his arm . It was different. He was more muscular, rock hard almost, but his one hand was transparent, showing his machinery inside, blue blood flowing like electricity.

His half unbuttoned shirt showed his chest and neck tattoos. Not too many tattoos , but the ones present were big.

Your hands reached for his face as you looked into his eyes. Trying to feel his face. Gently closing your eyes to feel his features through your fingers.

Flashback:::
You were crying out loud in your sleep, having another nightmare, of your  boyfriend beating you up. It was a recent event. Connor had stayed for about a week with you, as you were recovering from the trauma and injuries.

"NO JASON STAY AWAY... " You sobbed.

"Please... Please don't... What have I done? Why do you- NO STOP IT HURTS  please Jason PLEASE"  you were screaming by now .

Connor came running from the living room, to see you crying and screaming in your sleep.
He gently approached you .
"Hey... Y/n..." He gently said, reaching to touch you.
"Hey... Shhh... It's a dream..." Connor whispered.
"Wake up y/n... Wake up ..." Connor said, removing the hair that were crying on your face due to your tears.
"Connor? " You said, in your sleep, with hoarse voice from screaming.
"Yes it's me baby, wake up..." Connor said.
You half opened your eyes, since they burned.
You took your hands and traced them over his face.
You closed your eyes, feeling his features by your fingers. You were now breathing calmly.
You opened your eyes to see Connor's worried expression.
"Con-"
"Shhh... I'm here. Do you want water?"
You nodded.
After drinking the water Connor brought you, you laid back down.
"Do you need anything else,y/n? I'll be down the hall if you need anything-"
"Just sleep here please?"you said.

Without saying another word, Connor laid back, signalling you to get closer.

You hugged him and fell asleep.
"I'll protect you y/n. Just sleep. I'm here"

Connor just stood there, letting you feel safe in his arms, recognizing it's your Connor.

You opened your eyes, seeing Connor's concerned face.
You felt his thumb run along your cheek to brush away your tears you hadn't realized had started falling.

You suddenly jerked away from him.
"WHERE WERE YOU? I LOOKED FOR YOU EVERYWHERE! I missed you so much! " You were punching him, screaming accusations.
Connor just stood there, taking your hits.
After a while , he just hugged you with one arm, you struggled against him but then fell into the hug, still crying.
"I was so lonely, so scared..." You whispered to him.
"I'm sorry. I'm here now,y/n. I'll never leave"
"You promised that before..." you sobbed.
"Hush ...I was weak before."
