MUSE. | ##kaveh

You wandered in the lonely streets of Sumeru City, Without a care in the world as you took your steps your worn sandals making sounds on the cold concrete ground. The peace that the night provided made you feel at ease, There was barely any people around and it made you comfortable knowing that the peace was too comforting.

Without any thoughts you found yourself standing on an unfamiliar place, It had the most magnificent design and structure. You took a step inside as you were greeted by scholars who seemed not to mind your presence. Then you saw a ruin machine running around.

“This place..?” The ruin machine noticed you and came towards you, Which made your eyes widened but he seemed friendly which you quickly patted his head with a soft smile. “What's your name..?” You asked. You looked around noticing another short male coming towards you so you tried to hide away, “There you are, Karkata!” The machine tilted it's head replying to his message like they were communicating.

“Yes, I know but you must not go that far understand?” The machine replied again that it seemed to be a ‘yes’ to you. You let out a relieved sigh as you left and found yourself touring around the said place.

You felt a presence behind you, You turned your heel and saw a man standing just a meter away from you, Confused lips parted as his eyes dilated upon seeing your face. Did he see you? Your eyes dilated as you quickly turned away but instead he caught your arms.

Your eyes widened at the sudden contact, The feeling of his hand gripping your wrist was unfamiliar to you. You gasped as you looked into his deep crimson eyes that were gazing back at yours, The moon shined brightly and you felt some sort of nostalgia.

“WHO ARE YOU?!” He said, He had a deep voice. You tried to break away from his grip but he was just too strong, “If I tell you my name then will you let me go?” You said. The man nodded. “My name is Y/N.” after you introduced yourself he gently let go of your wrist. “Y/N? You have a quite unique name.” He said.

“Therefore, Forget about it.” You said and ran away before he could catch up with you. Running as you casually looked back luckily he didn't catch up with you.

NEXT DAY.
_________

Kaveh hasn't forgotten about what happened last night, he saw you again and even found out your name however you seemed scared. He could've sworn that you had the same face as what he had painted, He couldn't believe that he somehow painted a real life woman's face— Of course that's possible he just wasn't expecting to meet you under surprising coincidences.

He felt distracted— He couldn't focus. His best friend, Alhaitham had noticed this and asked for what was wrong. Kaveh said everything was fine, Except it wasn't and Alhaitham wasn't the type to pry on someone else's business so he left it at that.

He took the Canvas he painted for weeks, Analyzing the way it looks. And no matter how much he tried to unseen it, The painting just looks like you more and your gaze never left his mind. It feels like he was starstruck the moment he landed his eyes on you.

He wanted to make you his muse. The Architect had some other hobbies, he designs Architectural designs but yet he does draw from his free time. He wanted to find a great muse; And it seemed like you were the one he needed.

“Y/N? What an interesting name.” The Kshahrewar Sage said lips curving into a playful smile as he rolled his pen with his hand, Signing the documents his best friend handed him earlier.

On the other hand you were back at the Palace of Alcarayzay. You admired the flowers without giving any care at the students that were there infront of you. Your mind wanders at the man you met last night, You didn't know his name but some part of you wanted to know him. However you will never see him again so it's better to get rid of your curiosity before it gets bigger and that would make everything worse.

Than it already is.

You picked out a rose on the side, The color reminded you of the man's crimson red irises. His touch was still lingering within your skin, The feeling of electricity that you felt as he held your wrist, The shock you felt within that moment— It was something you can never forget even after trying so hard to forget yesterday's events.

“Ah, It's you.” A familiar voice said. You looked up to see the man last night. You panicked and looked right and left before you stood up and ran away from him, Again. “Hey wait!” He exclaimed but you never looked back and continued to ran away further. “Yes, Mr. Kaveh?” A confused student said. Kaveh looked at him forcing a smile as his eyes twitched. “It's nothing don't worry.” This student must've thought Kaveh was calling for him.

“She got away.. again.” He said looking at the direction you ran.
