Levi's POV
"How about this?" I showed her a sample.
"No! It's too masculine. I want a simple one," she declined.
"This one?"
"No way! My character isn't that perfect!" Arghh!
"So explain what kind of look your characters looks like," I asked her while controlling my patience. She fell into a deep thought before answering my question.
"I don't know. I have something in my mind but I can't seem to explain it," she said and looked at me, "You're cute, your face would be nice!"
"Are you kidding me?!" My face flushed out of anger. Who's in the right mind to tell the illustrator to illustrate his own face?!
"What? You're angry? But I have the rights to tell you what kind of looks I like since you accepted my manuscript already." I surrendered because she has a point in what she said.
I looked at her with a little embarassment in my face, "How 'bout the other one?"
She grinned and I don't like the grin in her face. I sense danger.
"How about Matteo Vega?"
Oh, now I'm fcked up with this BL obsessed freak...
"How can I write an illustration thinking that it's my face and Matteo's?!" Fck it, they're the same with Syd! They ship me with Matteo even though we're straights!
She just chuckled and waved goodbye, "Goodluck Mr. Illustrator!"

Matteo's POV
"Sydney, can you talk to me for a bit?" I asked on the other side of the phone.
"Yes." I've heard her answered. Sydney is one of the best illustrator here especially when we're talking about Boys' Love.
"You still haven't recovered yet?" Sydney got into an accident three days ago, and she lost her right arm, which she use for her drawings.
"I do, and I'm practicing how to draw using my left hand." I just love how she keeps her positive vibes with her even though that's his condition.
"You know what? Levi accepted a manuscript today, I was surprised." I started to tell her what happened earlier.
"What?! Really?! Who's the author?!" She got hype, of course.
"It's Bria Mendez, and you know what genre he accepted?! It's Boys' Love! You wouldn't imagine his face right now!" She laughed after I told her that.
"Levi must have taken a liking into Bria's story. I hope I can meet her soon especially we both love Boys' Love," she giggled.
"Of course, you can! You want me to introduce her to you?"
"Really, Matt?! Thank you!"
The call went off and I'm smiling the whole hour. It's really soothing that the one you love is happy.
Someone barged into my room without knocking and saw Levi.
"What happened?" I chuckled when I saw his grumpy face entering my office.
"That girl is crazy!"
"How crazy?"
"Fck, she wants our face to illustrate her BL characters!"
Oh fck, I don't know what to feel because Sydney already did that to us, but it's not a published story, it's just a sample and she keeps on teasing us with it.
I smiled because I remembered Sydney's happy face when she was sketching Levi and my face. I don't really mind being a BL character, as long as I can make her smile, I'm okay.
"Hey, aren't you mad about it?" Levi looks so confused by my expression.
"Nah, you're just the only one mad." I chuckled and he rolled his eyes at me like a woman.
"All of you are weird!"
