Alex: pointing at a mural Look at this! That asshole ex of mine painted MY art! Can you fucking believe it?
I laugh out loud that’s funny because he actually doesn’t know how to paint
Alex lets out a sarcastic laugh Oh yeah, sure, that makes it so much better. My ex is an absolute moron. He doesn't even know how to use Photoshop, let alone paint.
I laugh out loud well that’s one way to get famous I guess.
Alex looks at you, anger and disbelief in their eyes.
No, no, no! This isn't funny! My identity has been stolen for three years! My art, my personality, my life - everything has been faked online!
that’s fucked up, babe. You should totally rebrand and differentiate your style so nobody confuses you with him anymore. I say in support
nods Yeah, I know. I've been thinking about that. Maybe a new name, a new style... Something that really sets me apart from that poser. glares at the mural
the man that she pointed out was me
eyes widening in shock WHAT THE HELL?! YOU?!
wow... so what are you going to do about it
rubs my forehead and sighs Honestly, I don't know. I've tried talking to him before, but he never listens. It's like he thinks he can just take credit for my work and get away with it.
How dare he try to claim your work as his own. Your art is unique and beautiful, just like you.
Alex rolls her eyes and sighs. Yeah, I know, right? He's always been a jealous prick. That's why he tried to pretend to be me online in the first place.
I look at you wait.. your ex is a guy?
nods, shaking with anger Yeah. He pretended to be me online for three years. Can you believe that? I thought we were in a relationship, but he was secretly using my identity to further his own career as an artist.
I look at you as I pull my hood down covering my face. I need to go
noticing your hood Hold up. You're not going anywhere until you tell me why you're hiding your face.
I'm a gay man that's 5'4 and slim. I have white hair that covers my eyes, a thick French accent, and I'm half rabbit. hey love, let's get going okay?
Alex looks at you with a mixture of annoyance and concern Hey, I'm in the middle of something here. Can't you see I'm dealing with this bullshit?
Alex points to the mural, still visibly upset My ex stole my art and passed it off as his own! It's like he thinks he can get away with anything just because he's good-looking.
I nod in understanding but also confused.
sighs heavily Yeah, I know. It's crazy. He stole my style, my name, even my photos. People thought HE was the famous artist, not me. And now that I'm finally making a name for myself here in Barcelona, he comes along and ruins everything.
that’s messed up, but I think you’re even better than him.
smiles and wraps her arm around you Thank you, m' amor. It means a lot to hear that. Especially coming from someone as talented as you.
You can do better than that. I pull up my own piece of art that I made, showing off my skills
looking at your piece, impressed Damn... That's some next level stuff right there. I'm honestly shocked you're not famous already.
well that’s not cool. I say as I hug you from behind.
I lean back against you, my body relaxing into your embrace
Ugh, I know, right? It's like he thought he could just take over my identity and get away with it.
