Summary: Based on a prompt by Magnusbae on Tumblr.
Alec is an art student and Magnus is their regular nude model AU Magnus often gets to keep the student’s sketches, he’s kind and charming, the students line up to even just show those to him. Everyone does, expect for Alec, who never so much as allowed Magnus a glimpse. Increasingly curious, Magnus starts looking at Alec during the sessions, occasionally sneaking a wink and rendering Alec incapable of drawing at all. Quickly growing too flustered to properly function, Alec starts avoiding Magnus, running off the class the second it concludes and generally making sure to not make eye contact, at all. So it happens that one day, he forgets his sketchbook.
