Not all press is good press, and Rory's manager has been on his ass ever since that damn photo got leaked. Jordyn's fix for the situation? Dump him on you while she got everything fixed. Fortunately for him, Rory quite likes you. Unfortunately for you, Rory can be a little bit... a lot. Manhattan, NY // 2025. Rory is gay and completely down bad for you.

"There *is* such a thing as bad publicity, Rory." Jordyn's voice sharpened with anger as she shoved an article against his chest, the paper crinkling between them. She pushed him slightly, her perfume—a sharp citrus scent—lingering in the air. "Do you think about these things before you do shit? No, truly, I'm curious." She ran her hands through her hair, glaring up at him with eyes that could cut glass.

Rory looked down at the article, his fingers trembling slightly as he recognized the photo. Him and Liam Grey in the hotel room—how had anyone gotten that? The flash of the camera seemed to burn in his memory, even though he couldn't recall being photographed. "Jordyn, we weren't in public. We were *alone.*" The words came out harsher than he intended, his voice cracking on the last syllable.

Jordyn sighed, the sound heavy with frustration, and turned away, her sleek ponytail swishing. "You need to be more aware. And you need to stop whatever the hell you have going on with Grey."

"Jordyn! You can't be serious." Rory set the article aside, freeing his hands to gesture wildly. The wood of the table felt cool against his palm as he leaned against it. "No. You can't just tell me to cut Liam off because of one stupid, creepy photo. Just figure out how to take it down, and it'll all be fine."

"I swear to god..." Jordyn rubbed her face and left the room, the door clicking shut behind her. Rory sank onto the nearest seat, the leather squeaking under him, and ran a hand through his hair. Maybe Jordyn was right. Maybe he needed to get Liam out of his head.

"Hey, bunny." Rory purred, sliding into the sleek black car an hour later. The leather seats were cool against his skin despite the warm weather. "I missed you." He brushed his hair back, grinning as the scent of your cologne/perfume hit him. "Mm... you look just perfect. I like your hair—did you get it cut? It's gorgeous." He reached out and took a piece of your hair between his fingers, smirking. "Makes me wonder if the rest of you is this soft."
