#affair plot

Shortly after their session concludes, Muse A and Muse B having fooled around, Muse B unexpectedly resurfaces at a fashion event that Muse A is attending. Displeased to see Muse A with a date on their arm, Muse B pulls the photographer aside to threaten them, promising to tell their own significant other (Muse C, who’s a vicious criminal) that Muse A manipulated them into taking the risque photos. Muse A is appalled; they didn’t even know that Muse B was in a relationship and it wasn’t their idea to take those photos to begin with! Unaffected by Muse A’s shock, Muse B demands a romantic affair with Muse A or else they’ll spill to their significant other and Muse A’ll have more to worry about than their professional reputation.  

Bonus: Their eldest child soon dies after the news as they defend their parents name.

Muse B is dating Muse A’s best friend, Muse C. Muse B has been with Muse C for quite awhile now. Muse A and Muse B have met a couple of times but don’t see each other that much; never finding a reason on why they need to go out of their way to hang out with the other. Only when Muse A hits a road block in their life– whether it be getting kicked out of school, losing their job, or being disowned by their family– does Muse A begin to hang out a lot more with Muse C, and in turn, see more of Muse B. Muse A and Muse B become closer friends, but it’s clear that it’s only a platonic friendship. Muse A, however, begins to feel a special connection to Muse B, but pushes down their feelings at every turn for the sake of Muse C. Muse A rough patch has created some increasingly alcoholic tendencies in them, and the surfacing feelings for Muse B only worsens this. Things change drastically when Muse C is out of town. Drunk and depressed, Muse A calls Muse B inviting them over; Muse A voicing their desperate need to simply be in Muse B’s company. Muse B comes over in order to take care of the drunken fool, and in the process realizes that the feelings between them are dangerously close to surpassing friendship. For Muse B this is the start of lingering glances, and desperately avoiding Muse A in fear of what is brewing between them. For Muse A, it’s grabbing at any chance to be alone with Muse B, and regular drunk calls to Muse B when Muse C is out of town.

Muse A has been looking for a place to live for awhile now, having recently moved out of their parents’ place, bunking with a friend here and there. After searching a few ads online, Muse A finds a nice place just within their budget. Even if Muse A has to share with two others, it’s a steal that they would regret passing up. When they meet up with the other residents, Muse B and Muse C, Muse A realizes fairly quickly that they are a couple, one that doesn’t mind flaunting their passion for each other. Muse A draws the conclusion that the reason for rent being so reasonable is most likely that others would not want to be subjected to the couples’ open displays of affection, but Muse A still decides to take the room; Muse B and Muse C’s intimacy doesn’t really bother them. Muse C is usually at home the most, while Muse B tends to work long, spontaneous shifts. Though Muse A attempts to keep to their own business, Muse C seems extremely interested in whatever they’re doing, tending to find ways to be around them. Muse C’s growing infatuation with Muse A becomes quite obvious, especially when Muse C does small things like brushing their hands against Muse A’s, or casually playing with Muse A’s hair. Muse A does begin to find themselves attracted to Muse C, but doesn’t want to risk getting evicted, or having bad blood with Muse B. Despite the potential drama of an affair, Muse A finds themselves denying less and less to Muse C as every day passes.

Optional: When Muse C (Muse A’s spouse)  finds questionable charges on Muse A’s credit card statement/gets a call from the credit card company about suspicious activity, they become concerned that their spouse is cheating.  Muse C confronts Muse A, who denies an affair, but it doesn’t take long for Muse C to fixate on Muse B as the source of their spouse’s deception.  

Muse A and Muse B were in a tumultuous relationship years ago. It was full of lust and desire, but the young lovers had a tendency for hot-tempered, vicious arguments. They broke up mutually and moved on, realizing that the situation was never going to give way to something healthy, but neither truly got over the other. Even though Muse A and Muse B are both in loving, stable relationships in the present time, it lacks the fervor of the connection they had with each other, and thoughts constantly wander to their old flame, wishing their new relationship had that same passion. Late one night, Muse B picks up the phone and dials Muse A, simply wanting to hear their voice. Muse A is shocked and hesitant to speak with Muse B considering their significant other is sleeping in bed in the next room, but is unable to hang up, emotions running high. The calls continue nightly in secret. After several conversations, both agree they need closure to move on, and decide to meet in person.

Muse A and Muse B are long-time friends who’ve held onto an unexpressed attraction to one another for many years. For one reason or another the two of them just never attempted to date, despite their obvious flirting, teasing touches and playful, lingering kisses goodbye. When Muse B, the shier of the two, expresses interest in someone else, a freshly single Muse A finally chooses to tell Muse B how they feel. Muse B happily starts dating Muse A, who they’ve really wanted to be with this whole time. The relationship between them is great for the first few weeks. It’s like nothing has changed, except for the fact that they kiss and fool around and are openly romantic without having to worry about what the gestures mean. Just as things are getting serious between them, Muse B catches Muse A sending sexy texts to someone else. They’re really disappointed, but are consoled by a fast-talking Muse A who promises that it didn’t mean anything and it won’t happen again. Muse B forgives Muse A and they move forward, eventually moving in together.  Living together, turns out to be a big mistake, as everything one of them does seems to annoy the other in some way. Despite sharing a place, Muse B starts to see less and less of Muse A and it makes them suspicious that Muse A might be cheating again. When Muse B musters the nerve to confront Muse A about their fears, Muse A confesses that they have been spending time with someone on the side, but it’s not because they don’t want to be with Muse B; Muse A simply states that they’d like to pursue an open relationship, in which they can both see other people as long as they don’t bring them back to their home. Muse B takes some time to think it over, only agreeing because they care about Muse A and hope that it’s just a phase or a rough patch for them to get over. Muse A openly starts hanging out with someone else while Muse B worries that Muse A will leave them. Muse B isn't the type of person to cheat, even if it’s permitted and it devastates them that Muse A doesn’t seem to think that their relationship is good enough with just the two of them.
