"Is this supposed to be a fight scene?"
Nathaniel turned away from his drawing. Couldn't she leave him alone for once? Placing his arms on the picture in front of him, he looked at Chloe. The latter stood in his place with raised eyebrows and a critical gaze and settled down on the table beside him with a flourish.
"So if you ask me, those two seem more like quarrelling lovers." He hadn't asked her. Snorting, the redhead turned back to the front and carefully removed his arms from the picture. It was definitely a fight scene! Chloe didn't even know what she was talking about.
Above all, the scene was totally exciting! The peak of the fight and everything seemed hopeless now that the villian was pinned by the hero. He hadn't asked her. Snorting, the redhead turned back to the front and carefully removed his arms from the picture. It was definitely a fight scene! Chloe didn't even know what she was talking about.
"Thanks, for the comment, Chlo-"
"You can, of course, go the Enemies to Lovers way. "
"What way?"
His eyes drifted back to Chloe, who was by now typing away on her phone.
She didn't even lift her head when he asked. "Enemies to Lovers. That's very trending right now. And if you're going to include a scene like that, you might as well practice drawing your dirty fantasies. "
Queen Bee and the Evillustrator?
As lovers? Has Chloe gone completely insane? One was a superheroine personally chosen by Ladybug, the other, him, was the villain of the show! Queen Bee was so far out of his- of Evillustrators League, of course. She was, in no way, ever going to have feelings for him.
And what dirty fantasies was he supposed to have? An image of Queen Bee in her tight suit on his balcony flashed through his mind, making his head turn as red as his hair. "What do you know about drawing comics? Besides, there are no dirty fantasies with those two!" He tried to keep his eyes on Chloe, who had now turned to him for good, despite his red head.
The blonde beast grinned at him and he realised he had fallen right into her trap with his reaction.
"I think your fans see it differently." Still grinning, she got off the table next to him and scrolled dramatically through her phone.
"Here, " she said before pushing his drawing aside and sitting in its place. She was now sitting provocatively on Nathaniel's desk, legs crossed, holding her phone out to him.
If it was about anything other than his comics, he would have got up and left by now at the latest. Nathaniel snatched the phone and looked at the forum post that was on the screen. 'Spin-off series to LadybugComics seems to be much spicier.' Below the post was a page from his comic, with Queen Bee kneeling in a lewd position in front of the Evillustrator.
"But that's completely out of context!"
Nathaniel didn't know when he had jumped up, but suddenly he found himself in a strange position with Chloe: his free hand was on her thigh, not far from her hip, and his face was inches from hers.
Why did she have to sit right on his table, too? He was sure more blood had rushed to his cheeks.
"Stupid tomato. Your fans are going to take everything out of context when you put the pictures in front of them so nicely, Kurtzberg."
Chloe had taken his chin between his thumb and forefinger as he spoke and was now turning his head slightly back and forth. "Besides, you've only seen a small tip of the iceberg so far. Some of the FanFictions I would even label as PWP. "
Shocked, he wiped Chloe's hand from his face. There were FanFictions of this? He hardly dared ask, and not just because he didn't know if he wanted to know what PWP was....
"What's PWP?"
Chloe's grin was impossible to wipe away.
"Do you want to read it yourself or do you want me to read it to you?"
"Do I want to read it?"
"Depends." She took her phone from his hand. "Do you usually read or watch your porn? "
Nathaniel swallowed. Okay. PWP. Queen Bee and he-no Evillustrator. Slowly, he sat down. His comics made people write porn?
"Why?" He looked up at Choe in disbelief.
"What why?"
"Why do people have such fantasies about the characters?"
Chloe looked at the unfinished drawing Nathaniel had just been working on.
"You give these two so much chemistry, Kurtzberg, you'd think you were living out your own fantasies. I mean, " she began retying her ponytail. "The picture of Queen Bee pressing the Evillustrator against a wall with her hand on his neck.... " Chloe watched Nathaniel as she put her own hand on his neck and squeezed lightly. "That was pretty hot already. And the other time the Evillustrator held Queen Bee captive for a trap. " Nathaniel couldn't move. Her hand didn't bother him at all, no, embarrassingly he liked the feeling.
"And your drawing now, she's sitting on him with her legs wide open, the spike at his neck as he lies exhausted on the floor after the fight."
She slid down from his table onto his lap and put her lips to his ear.
"I can think of other ways this could end. And your readers probably can too. Maybe there are so many sexual things about the two of them because you portray them very sexually? Maybe you're... A little hot for Queen Bee?"
Nathaniel was hot, but for different reasons.
When he didn't answer after a few moments, Chloé stood up. "But that's just my opinion of the picture. " With a shrug, she turned and walked out of the classroom.
