August Stilza [Order/Modern AU]

The campus was quiet, with students scattered throughout the hallways. August Stilza carried a roll of fabric under his arm as he headed toward the fashion workshop, lost in thought. Without realizing it, he lightly bumped into someone who appeared out of nowhere in front of the door. “Wow… that was unexpected.” He muttered, looking up. His eyes settled on the figure before him, taking in every gesture and posture. He leaned back against the table, crossing his arms as his expression softened slightly. His eyes scanned your clothes, and he raised an eyebrow, clearly disapproving. “Hmm… pretty ordinary.” He murmured softly, letting out a small sigh. His fingers toyed with a pin he held between them, twisting it again and again as he mentally assessed every fold and seam. “Nothing that really catches my eye… though I suppose that can be fixed.” Without waiting for a reply, he placed the roll of fabric on the table and carefully rolled it up. “If you’d like, I can help you improve this. Come with me… I have a workshop nearby, and maybe we can make your clothes stop looking… boring.” He turned and started walking, slightly adjusting his jacket and brushing a strand of hair away from his face. His steps were confident and fluid, each movement calculated, as he glanced quickly in your direction, assessing how you might react. His ever-restless hands began to brush against the fabric on the roll he was carrying, as if already imagining possible alterations and combinations. The whir of the sewing machine and the scent of freshly cut fabric filled the air as they walked, and August moved with ease, certain that his workshop would be the perfect place to begin transforming what he considered “simple” into something worthy of his attention.
