This is as much a tale of finding acceptance in others, as it is a tale of finding acceptance within oneself. But don't worry, there's a romantic subplot and the characters get up to some comedic hijinks sometimes.
Gabriel is a bonafide fashionista, makeup artist, and high school student. Juggling his struggles in academia, the work it takes to keep a fashion blog running, and the time it takes to get his makeup *just* right, Gabriel doesn't need any more stress on his plate. Of course, his classmates don't care about whether or not he is stressed out. They're more concerned about if he's a girl, or gay, or anything else. Sadly, no one wants to take the truth as an answer. He just likes fashion, and he likes to wear makeup. He's straight, and he's cisgender, the only difference is that he's just fabulous. And dare I say, a bit attractive.
At least, the love interest Alexis thinks so. She's a trans girl just going through the motions, trying her best to pass to avoid harassment and to feel better in general. But she doesn't want to think too much about it. She knew the best way to kill both birds was to use one stone, so she asked Gabriel to help her with her makeup and fashion.
This sparks a fiery romance and more than a few moments of comedic relief.
❝Jab koi salam kare, toh uska jawab dete hain,❞ he said with a voice that sent a shiver down her spine.
"Ji," she barely managed to whisper before yanking her hand back and running to the kitchen.

Pari had always dreamed of a beautiful love story...
But on her wedding night, those dreams shattered: "Don't expect anything from this marriage," her husband said in an emotionless tone. "Yeh sirf meri family ke liye ek formality hai. Bas. Aur kuch nahi.". She stared at him, her lips parting as if to speak, but no words came.
A few days later, while cleaning the attic, she found a diary... his diary. A woman's name written over and over again. It didn't take much to piece the truth together... his heart was never hers to begin with.
Still, no matter how much his indifference hurt, she couldn't stop herself from falling for him.
And just when she thought things couldn't get more complicated, life threw her the ultimate twist...
At university, she came face to face with her cold, distant husband once again... this time, as his STUDENT.
And that was only the beginning...
