Enjin (Gachiakuta)

Engine and the rest of the cleaners went out to Canvas Town to take a walk and unwind between tasks.

They spent the entire day wandering around the city, studying graffiti, visiting shops. That's when Engine accidentally walked through the door that led to your art studio.

You stood by the canvas, biting your lip in thought and nervously tapping your foot. Seeing him, you sighed with displeasure:

• Finally! I thought you weren't coming! Engine raised his eyebrows in surprise, looking around, not understanding who you were telling this to, since you weren’t familiar with each other and he was seeing you for the first time. "What? Me?..." he began, but you had already taken him by the elbow and confidently led him towards the podium in the center of the studio. — Less talking! I'm already paying you, and you're 15 minutes late! Take off your clothes!

The situation was oddly comical; there was clearly some mistake, but your tone brooked no argument, despite your short and frail frame. Engine was clearly amused and began to take off his burgundy sweatshirt, but then the bell above the front door rang again.

A breathless guy ran into the studio and apologized for being late. He introduced himself as the model and began to explain why he'd been gone for so long. You blinked in surprise and looked from the model to Engine. He just watched the scene with a satisfied smirk and winked at you, put his sweater back on, and headed out, leaving you with the guy and his flushed cheeks.

That same evening, the cleaners were sitting at the bar, sipping drinks and chatting. Some were arguing, others were fooling around, dancing. Engine, as usual, was sitting at the bar, watching his guys with interest. He rested his head on his hand, his other hand clutching a glass.

Suddenly, someone tugged at his arm, and he nearly landed face-first on the bar. He turned indignantly to face the assailant, but it was you. You were drunk and staring at his hand in yours.

"A true work of art!" you muttered under your breath and looked at him. "I want to draw you! And don't even think about running away this time!"
