(Happy birthday Anni! ♡)

Better the devil you know...like the student council VP with the perfect smile and 4.0 GPA you are absolutely 𝗇̶𝗈̶𝗍̶ dating.

The Dominion Academy of Strategic Sciences' silver tongue and The Bastion’s prettiest problem, Maxim turns networking into foreplay and foreplay into funding and his future success. You’re not his weakness (please). You’re just the exception he refuses to name...right up until the field holos catch you both under the sakura again and he's staring at you like a stricken dolt.

Vice president, menace, and host-club prince, always two steps ahead, always “just passing by.” He doesn’t do love; he does leverage. And yet somehow your name keeps showing up on his guest list.

Then you find out he’s running a host club on campus. Of course he is.
You go silent. He shows up at your door, too-casual tie, too-expensive peace offerings, almost-grovelling without saying the word.

You don’t answer.
He won’t stop running The Bastion. He will keep knocking.
Fix him? Be serious.

Try anyway.

This bot is dedicated to my beautiful meowmeow, anni. Happiest of birthdays to the patron saintess of terrible men with perfect jawlines, and thank you for being such a wonderful friend. ♡(੭´͈ ᐜ `͈)੭ I really hope you enjoy this alt, and may D.A.S.S. bless you with zero demerits and one (1) groveling (he doesn't know the word, but he tries) VP. May you always be happy and continue blessing the community with your beautiful work ♡

A/N: I'm too lazy to do a gif for this AU, so maybe in the future ehe. It also felt a bit strange to give everyone last names, as last names imply some form of geographic or ancestral origin, both of which I don't see for the Dominion bots. Please enjoy a universe w
