culinary major phainon who uses you as a taste tester
sometimes it’ll be for the most basic stuff too, but even then his food is surprisingly really good. soup? delicious. new york strip steak? mesmerizing. no matter the dish, he’ll call you over and start whining (yes whining) for you to try it.
however for some reason, he never makes those meals he learns in everyday life. no no instead he chooses to make salads. all day every day, and you’re the lucky test subject!!
even cyrene complains of how much he makes salads, always poking fun at him AND at you for being unlucky enough to being called everyday at 7 pm.
but god is he enamored with how willing you are to put up with this. you’ll be eating his repetitive salads and he’ll sit there admiring you with hearts in his eyes.
thinking more about culinary major phainon and him cooking you food when you’re sick.
if you don’t show up to any classes, or you don’t answer a call of his, you can guarantee he’ll be there within 10 minutes. 20 at most if he’s sprinting through the grocery store to get ingredients.
and those ingredients? all for you. you wouldn’t even have to tell or ask him to help because he WILL be breaking down your door to check on you. even if he’s in the middle of class!! if he gets any message or hint that you’re not feeling good he’ll bolt out of the classroom with a “sorry!!”
aglaea has had to scold him multiple times because of this, since he keeps missing important work. but can she really blame him? he pouts like a puppy whenever he can’t see you, apologizing over and over and at the very end goes
“can i go see them now?”
(this is plaguing my mind..)
(also send in phainon au ideas i might get inspired)
SYPNOSIS: The chrysos entertainment industry is divided up into two big studios. One for modelling, and one for publishing the magazines where journalists strive.

10:52 PM, normal and properly functioning members of society at this time would be sleeping, or at home wasting their lives away with hobbies.
And here you were, in a dimly lit office with minimum carpentry. Truly, who could ever ask for anything more? The sweet sweet smell of cold coffee sitting by your laptop and the glare of an empty document that was due in 2 days.
And the best part? You were all alone!!! That’s right, all alone in a creepy office 5 stories up. But anything was better than looking at the email sent out 2 weeks ago.
“Attention Chrysos Publishing Firm,
We would like to inform you all of the new bi- monthly magazine that will be making it's debut in 2 months. We need all journalists to get their drafts finished and ready to be finalised in 2 weeks.
We thank you for your work in making the Firm what it is!”
Your friend (and sadly co-worker as well) being the absolute best writer there was, finished hers in 2 days. And the other employees finished theirs around a week after.
So why were you still the only one stuck on what to write? Sure if you tried hard enough you could find something, but nothing was appealing. Nothing to get you an extra bonus or praise from your boss.
For the past while, you had been sitting at the desk, scrolling away on your phone, mentally preparing to be fired… or at least reprimanded. Plus, any motivation that you MIGHT have had has been stripped away by the cold coffee. The evil.. evil cold coffee.
“I wish I could quit already..”
The words completely contradicted your own thoughts. For years you had been working towards a degree to be able to do this. To be let in on the hot scoops before anyone else, and strive for the top. Luckily, your connections with an old classmate, Cyrene, landed you a spot at one of the biggest industries.
Chrysos Entertainment Co. Known for it's magazines and several different clothing lines. Their models? Beautiful. They were the highlight of it all, and to be able to work alongside such a large cast of writers and artists was an honor.
Cyrene was ecstatic when you came to work with her. For only being there a year, she was beloved by the other workers as a source of inspiration, and there was absolutely no way you wanted to let her down.
But.. oh boy did she have plans.
Opportunity at your worst moment had finally arrived. And to say you gathered your stuff in an instant to escape the hell of your office dwelling hours was an understatement. No words can describe just how fast you were.
The walk to your apartment wasn’t long at all, but thinking about texting a random number.. not even knowing who it was??
Only a creep would do that.But if it made you look like a creep for the sake of results?
Why not?
Hi guys first thing is out!! Very short since this is just an introductory part plus this is my very first fanfic.. ever 💞💞
