Nic was almost positive he had never encountered a more perfect, beautiful, inspiring stranger before this sudden walk-by. They had the sort of presence that knocked the air out of him, the words out of his mouth, and so... he never learned the name of said stranger. But when his accidental "WANTED" signs catch the notice of his peers, he's steered in the direction that's closer fit to the path his future muse leads. Kieran is... a mystery. Maybe it's his aloofness that makes him so broodingly calm. Whatever the case, Nic becomes determined to draw that idiot's face into oblivion, even if there's little chance of a romance happening between them. But sometimes showing appreciation for the person you love happens to be from afar, and with a pencil and paper in hand.
