Narti sat with her camera, frown on her face as she listened to Allura ramble. The white haired beauty was standing in front of the mirror behind the studio in her blue cotton t-shirt and skinny jeans. She was pulling at strands of her hair as she called back to Narti.

"What do you think I'd look like with short hair?" Allura asked pulling her hair back to frame her chin. "Think it'd look nice?"

Narti shook her head and continued sorting her filters. She didn't have time for this kind of thing. Not with so much work to be done.

"I think you'd look lovely, though it would take time to get used to." A highly accented voice called from the entrance of the studio.

Allura looked around the wall to see Lotor, her modeling partner. His long white hair, that matched hers, was pulled into a ponytail, and he wore a blue pinstripe suit with high waters. He folded his sunglasses and smiled his lopsided grin he always used on Allura.

"Might bring out your eyes more." He added. Allura's cheeks turned pink and Narti rolled her eyes, ignoring them.

" Thanks. " Allura smiled at him. He nodded, before turning to Narti.

" What's on the agenda for today?"

Narti pulled out a manilla folder and began to read in her monotone whisper. "Two shoots, four outfits...the usual."

" Lotor always asks anyways. " Allura chuckled.

"You never know." Lotor shrugged. " Let's begin. "

Narti set up her layouts and filters for the first shoot as the models headed for their outfits in the back of the studio.

"This first shoot will be with you both in it. The second are some solos." Narti explained as the two returned, changed.

Allura wore a knee length dress, made of lace, with orange and brown leaves patterned across it. She was barefoot, and had followed her styling directions by slipping artificial leaves into her waves, and blushing her cheeks.  Even the small details had to be perfect for Narti's standards though, and that took time. She couldn't wait to get her personal stylist. But that luxury came with the success of the shoots.

Lotor matched in a long beige trench coat and leather shoes. A red and orange scarf wrapped around his neck. His hair was in a bun, and he had slipped some foundation on his nose. Allura smiled at him as they joined each other.

"You look nice. As always." Allura complimented him.

It was true, no matter what they were wearing for the autumnal line, Lotor always looked gorgeous. Allura wasn't surprised he had been chosen as her partner.

" So do you, Princess. " Lotor smiled back.

Narti sighed. "You two done?" At the impatience in her tone, the two followed her instructions for the shoot.

It was, by far the most intimate pose they had been assigned so far. Lotor's arm around Allura's slim waist, and her arms wrapped around his neck. He was taller, and it was made to look like they were an oblivious couple going out. As they posed, and Narti clicked her camera, Allura couldn't help but exaggerate every breath of Lotor's on her cheek.

"Allura, slide closer. And turn towards me, ninety degrees-" Narti instructed.

"No, no. More to the left. No, go back-"

After five minutes of Narti's instructions, Allura's squirming, and Lotor's smirks and chuckles, it was finally perfect.

"Okay, stay there. Don't move." Narti huffed, sliding back to her camera. She circled them, and snapped the shots at her preferred angles. She hummed to herself as she worked, her black dress trailing behind her.

Allura prayed she wasn't sweating, in Lotor's arms. They had only been partners for a week and a half, and she was already falling for him. His charm, and his smirk, and the fact that he was just a gorgeous guy. She hadn't felt like this in, oh so long.

She had laughed when he called her Princess, because that's what Lance had always called her, since they were kids. Made her wonder what he and the others would think if her and Lotor became something. She sure did hope he liked her back.

Not that she thought herself ready for a relationship..but it was too early to tell. And she enjoyed this cute crush thing they had going on.

"'Kay, we're done." Narti said, more to herself than the models, as she fiddled with her camera. " Get ready for the next shoot. "

Allura and Lotor stepped away from each other and stretched their limbs. They'd been standing like that for at least ten minutes of Narti's tedious work. They blushed at each other before going their separate ways.

"Oh my God-" Allura exclaimed as she found her next outfit. It was Versace, the high classed society brand. Perfect for runways, flashing lights, and red carpets. Maybe she was closer to the cover of Altea magazine than she had thought.

And if she adorned the cover with Lotor... Imagine the publicity and gigs. She would be on the runway in no time. And Lotor and her would be off to hollywood.

It was bittersweet though. She wanted Lance to come along. He'd wanted the cover for so long. And to be on the runway. She knew him and Keith were struggling, but she also knew if anyone could get Lance on the runway it was Keith. With his determination, and stubborn drive, she was sure Lance could make it to the front cover of the magazine. She smiled at that before getting dressed.

The clock passed 1 p.m before Allura and Lotor reappeared. Transformed into, well beautiful models. Narti suppressed a smile.

Allura wore a silk brown blouse, tucked into a cherry red matte vinyl skirt that reached her ankles. A coffee colored beret topped her straightened hair and she wore red lipstick. Lotor wore black combat boots with gold chains laced around them, and dress pants. His blazer was splashed with bright colors- orange, green, blue and gold. It was unbuttoned, over his black and white checkered shirt.

They were gorgeous.

"Bet you're both enjoying the Versace line." Narti smiled. Both models grinned.

" I've never felt so fine. " Lotor said, smoothing his blazer out. They all laughed.

It took a half hour to get through Allura's personal shoot, ten poses. And then Lotor.

Finally at 2:13 p.m, Narti dismissed them to change. She sat with her laptop and computer and began the transfer of the photos so she could finished editing them.

Allura washed her face and tied up her hair after changing back into her jeans and t-shirt. But not before taking pictures of her Versace outfit, and sending it to the group chat.

She had a meeting with her father to attend to, so packed her stuff and said bye to Narti. The photographer was too engrossed in her work to reply with anything more than a nod.

Lotor was outside the studio, waiting for Allura.

"Hey," he said as she closed the door.

" Oh- hey! " she said, a little too excited.

"Wanted to tell you this was a fun shoot. I enjoyed it. And I've been enjoying being your partner." Lotor said nonchalantly. Allura's cheeks turned pink as she smiled.

" I feel the same. You did excellent today, you always look amazing. "

"And so do you. Are you on your way to Alfor's?"

"Yeah, he wants to talk to me."

" May I accompany you there? "

Allura couldn't suppress her grin. "Yes."

...

"I can't believe they gave us Versace. It must mean we are close to a runway gig or the magazine cover.." Allura said as her and Lotor neared her father's office.

"Maybe that's what he is going to tell you." Lotor said. "But if we make it that far or not, you are stunning and we are already in the magazine."

Allura felt her heart rate speed up. She didn't know what to say. "I-"

"Ah, Allura. Right on time." Alfor opened the door. He saw Lotor, and looked him up and down. " Lotor. "

" Hello, just talking." Lotor said smiling at Alfor. He turned to Allura. "See you tomorrow."  Before he turned and walked away.

" Falling for business partners is not a good idea. " Alfor said as Allura closed the door to the office.

Allura crossed her arms. "I'm not falling for him."

Alfor raised an eyebrow skeptically.

"Well, maybe a little.."

He shook his head. "At least you two would make a very nice couple." He smiled. Allura's heart fluttered.

" Anyways, I wanted to consult you on something. " Alfor quickly changed the subject. He told her to sit.

"The annual Altea Modeling party is coming up." Alfor said. "Little less than a month,"

" I forgot about that. "

"I am going to begin planning. But I'm having trouble with...the guest list."

Allura raised an eyebrow. "You wanted me to help with that?"

"Well yes- you know everyone here. Their potential and work ethic. The guests are people I look to for future gigs, you know. and you and Lotor are already invited."

Allura's heart swelled. She had forgotten the people invited to the party would be looked at by other companies, which meant runways, and magazine covers. Her thoughts swerved to Lance.

"I think I know a few people that would be great guests." She smiled.
