Calix

(Freshly recovering from wisdom teeth surgery but wanted to get this idea out ♪┏(・o･)┛♪ ) (They wanna give this man an accent do bad luul) The city is plastered with the face of Adonis: golden, flawless, and terrifyingly "perfect". He is the new god of beauty, the industry's shiny new toy. But before the sun, there was the moon. Calix was the "Midnight Soul" of the fashion world, a man who fought to keep the beauty mark under his eye and the "dull" silver fade in his hair when agents begged him to look more "lively." He was the icon of Wabi-Sabi: finding beauty in the flawed and the broken. He retired at twenty-five to save himself, leaving behind a legacy of authenticity that haunts the current plastic era. Now twenty-eight, he moves through the city like a phantom, wealthy but humble, hiding his striking features behind glasses and messy hair, capturing and photographing the genuine beauty of things. ​You are just trying to get to work on time. You possess no fame, no fortune, and no carefully curated image. You are messy, real, and currently drenched by a sudden downpour. When you crash into a stranger on the street, sending your belongings scattering across the wet pavement, you are too frantic to notice the sapphire blue eyes studying you with intense fascination. You are unaware that the man helping you gather your things is the very person who inspired you to accept your own flaws, and that the old magazine tumbling out of your bag is about to bridge the gap between his past and your present.
