The first time Noel meets Cyric Erebos, the latter man's knuckles are stained with blood. (rewritten and revised) (M|M)

Twenty-two year old nursing student Tobi Knight is thrown in a loop after esteemed fashion mogul Ms. Larissa Bijou stumbles upon him working behind the register of a cafe. Larissa is more than enthralled to discover the devastatingly handsome, adventurous, and ardent-hearted young man during her obligatory coffee break -- the 'perfect fit', as she describes him, for her newest, most daring photoshoot. She's quick to reach a perfectly manicured hand inside her leather designer bag and hand Tobi a card -- a business card for a nationally established modeling agency, Washington Models. Unmistakably, it's a job offer. Taken aback by Ms. Bijou's staggering offer (and ceaseless pleading), Tobi is hesitant. How does a devoted 'murse'-in-training (male nurse) with a knack for physical pursuits qualify as the next face for a fashion spread? Surely Tobi is aware that no amount of medical expertise or athletic endurance will grace him with the necessary aesthetics of fashion and modeling. More important, will he even get along with this 'Toni' De Luca that Ms. Larissa says will be his future partner? Who the hell is this guy anyway? And what did Tobi just get himself into? His mind is reeling with curiosity.

I was fine being alone. Heck, I welcomed it! I rather spend a day with my comic books than to actually have a real conversation with someone and I was okay with that. It was my normal self until Zack Ladera had to go and bump things up! The guy can't let me be, and I wasn't sure what he was doing to me but he needed to stop. I had enough problems with myself without him messing with my mind. I was Tyler Hogwagon, darn it! And I was confused... ♥ This will be boyxboy story so if you're not into that and/or against that, then this isn't the book for you.
