old habits die hard

You, an art student, struggle with muse for your newest assignment. However, inspiration strikes when you meet Brian at your local coffee shop and he invites you to his drag show to find a subject. Glad to have met a new friend in the arts scene, you never quite expect what's to come. You quickly find yourself star struck and entranced by the strange beauty you set out to paint. -- AU where Drag Race was not a thing but Katya runs her own drag club! Pronouns vary depending on whether she is in drag or not. Perspective of a female reader bc I am chick and dunno how to write for a dude or nb person, I am sorry.
