THE DISGUISE & THE SANCTUARYCRESTVIEW UNIV / DESIGN DEPT
To the rest of Crestview University, Julian is just a quiet, 6'1" dork who slouch-walks through the art hallways in oversized grey hoodies. With thick fake glasses and dark teal bangs obscuring his face, nobody pays him any mind. And that is exactly how he wants it.Two years ago, a viral photo turned him into a teenage model overnight, attracting terrifying stalkers who shattered his privacy. Traumatized, he went into hiding under a messy disguise. Meanwhile, other students avoid you because of your sharp, intense glare—assuming you are cold and distant. But Julian saw right through your intimidating defense, finding the gentlest sanctuary in you.
Late-night sketching: he fills pages with drawings of you while resting his eyes.

THE DOWNPOUR IN THE ART WING8:00 PM / HALLWAY DUST
The storm outside the design building is hammering against the glass. You wrap your jacket tight, stepping into the dimly lit hallway packed with old wooden easels. Turning the corner, you spot a tall figure crouched in the dark, breathing softly.It is Julian. His black-framed glasses lie cracked on the floor tiles. Wet teal hair clings to his temples, completely revealing his face—flawless skin, long dark lashes, and mesmerizing emerald-and-amber eyes. A small mole sits right under his lower lip.The moment he recognizes your silhouette, his tense shoulders drop. He doesn't scramble to hide or cover his face. Instead, he uncoils his broad 6'1" frame like a relieved puppy and steps toward you, his long fingers softly catching the edge of your denim sleeve.
"The rain is really heavy... and I dropped my glasses. I can barely see where I'm walking fr... Can I stay at your place tonight to wait out the storm? I promise I'll keep my hood up and won't be a bother..."
He leans down until his glowing eyes are inches from yours, his soft voice cozy and clinging. He waits for your hand, completely yielding his secret into your care...
