CANwedoit PRESENTATION

After the venture proposal, the group discussed whether to continue the four features of Kalayo Mercado or just choose one or two from that four features. It was a hard discussion for the group as we have to consider numerous factors in choosing the right feature to continue with. The group went through further validation with numerous students, faculty, eateries, and boarding houses on what among those four features they badly needed to bring comfort to them. Based on such validation, we have decided to continue with boarding houses and eateries as our feature. The boarding house was kept because there were numerous students and even boarding house owners that needed this feature in order to avoid confusion on reservations and other kinds of stuff. We retained eateries because as we all know boarding houses are seasonal, and mostly happen at the beginning of the semester whereas eateries are a daily need of our possible users.

The group then continued with the validation through messenger chats and in-person interviews. During such validation, we were able to validate whether we got the right way to gain revenue and also on allocating our costs. Most of our interviewees said they are willing to pay quarterly subscriptions in the amount of P100 for each subscriber. During the Business Model Canvas activity, our write-ups in that activity were based on the validation that we already did.

On the day of the BMC presentation, we presented our business to our possible investors. She commented on having more validation for our business. This validation is still ongoing and is positively on our side, so far.

Why Futuristic Saas Is Product Led — 3 Companies who are doing it right

Product led growth is the new black. It’s the future. You all must have been hearing this for quite a while now.But what is product-led growth?

VC firm Openviewdefines product-led growth (PLG) as “a go-to-market strategy that relies on product usage as the primary driver of acquisition, conversion, and expansion.” In other words, let customers take your product for a test drive.

Benefits of being Product Led

Rapid Scalability

Hiring and training your sales team is a long, tedious and expensive process. Scale rapidly by focusing on improvising your product user experience, onboarding flows and adapt to surging demands quickly.

Improved User Experience

Product-led growth improves the user experience. Since, you are providing value to your customers from the time they sign up you work towards making your user experience top notch.

Lower Cost Per Acquisition

With Product led growth, your product drives marketing and growth by solving customer problems, infiltrating the market and scale on its own.

You are effectively avoiding the cost spent on nudging the customers down in the funnel. Hence, lowering the cost per acquisition.

Faster Sales Cycle

Product-led growth makes your sales team efficient. You ask how? Imagine leads which have tried your freemium version of the product, seen the value it provides to them, what pain-points it has addressed. These leads are product qualified and hence converting them into paid customers is faster

3 Visionaries Companies

Slack

We all love Slack, don’t we? Slack makes communication so much easier and faster. The secret to Slack’s success is the company’s understanding of their customers. They understand they are selling a way for team members to communicate and collaborate easily. They let you take the product for a test drive and don’t ask you for anything other than your email address. Their onboarding process is simple and you can start testing out the product from the first minute.

Calendly

Calendly is another product that uses a product-led strategy for its growth. Calendly addresses the customer’s pain-point of back and forth scheduling. But how did it achieve this viral growth?

Prodeasy — The Growing Challenger

Product led growth is achieved when the prospects test out your product before giving you their business.

Prodeasy is a platform designed to simplify your product management and development processes — gather all your project requirements and collaborate on one platform. Build your target persona, value proposition, prioritize features, create flexible roadmaps and run experiments to validate your project requirements.

By deeply understanding and addressing the needs of its users, Prodeasy effectively drives word-of-mouth throughout the product management community. This is invaluable when it comes to new user acquisition.

در باب مدل کسب و کار

شاید کلماتی از قبیل بیزینس پلن، طرح توجیهی، مطالعه‌ی امکان سنجی با گوشتان آشنا باشد. در دنیای کسب و کار مفاهیم زیادی از این قبیل وجود دارند. در این مطلب از ویرگول قصد داریم کمی در مورد یکی از مفاهیمی که در دهه ی اخیر در دانش کسب‌وکار رایج شده است صحبت کنیم، "مدل کسب‌وکار" یا Business Model.

احتمالاً در برداشت اول طرحی چندین صفحه‌ای که شامل جزییات زیادی از قبیل مطالعات چند ماهه، تدوین استراتژی‌ها و صفحات رنگی است به ذهنتان متبادر می‌شود، در صورتی که آن چه که از ذهن شما می‌گذرد مفهومی تحت عنوان طرح کسب و کار یا بیزینس پلن می‌باشد. از بیزینس پلن یا برنامه‌ی کسب‌وکار به عنوان طرحی مطالعاتی جهت نحوه ی پیاده سازی و اجرای کسب‌وکار استفاده می‌شد و تدوین آن روزها زمان می برد و نیاز به مطالعات زیادی دارد. این روش تا سال‌ها مورد استفاده بوده است و هنوز هم برخی از آن استفاده می‌کنند، و گاهی نیز برای ارائه به بانک‌ها یا دریافت سرمایه نیاز به ارائه‌ی آن داریم، ولی به تدریج فعالان حوزه‌ی کسب‌وکار پی بردند که با توجه به تغییرات سریعی که امروزه در محیط کسب‌وکار رخ می‌دهد دیگر روش ها و مفاهیم گذشته پاسخ گو نیستند. با یک مثال مطلب را بیشتر روشن می‌کنیم. فرض کنید برای راه‌اندازی یک ایده‌ی تجاری، فرد کارآفرین ساعت‌‌ها و بلکه چندین ماه زمان صرف می‌کند و طرح کسب‌وکاری که از نگاه خودش جامع و کامل است تدوین می‌کند و پیش فرض‌هایی را در راه‌اندازی کسب‌وکار مربوطه مدنظر قرار می‌دهد. پس از چندین ماه بررسی نوبت به اجرا می‌رسد، در ابتدای امر به نظر می‌رسد همه چیز خوب پیش می‌رود ولی به تدریج تفاوت بین پیش فرض‌ها و آنچه در دنیای واقعی وجود دارد آشکار می‌گردد. مثلاً هزینه‌های پیش بینی شده در اثر تغییرات تورمی متفاوت از آنچه در واقعیت رخ می‌دهد است، اجرا آنطور که پیش بینی می‌شد پیش نمی‌رود و در نتیجه طرح شکست می‌خورد. بیزینس پلن با تمام حسن‌هایی که داشته است، در دنیای پر از تغییر امروز پاسخ‌گو نیست و دقیق‌تر بگوییم برای هر کسب‌وکاری پاسخ‌گو نیست، این موضوع مخصوصاً در کسب‌وکارهای نوپا و استارتاپی و ایده‌های تکنولوژی محور بسیار ظریف‌تر و دقیق‌تر است، چرا که سرعت تغییرات تکنولوژی امروزه بسیار بالاست و عملاً با صرف زمان زیاد روی طرح کسب‌وکار، تغییرات محیطی بر پیش‌فرض‌های ما غلبه می‌کند و طرح راهی در دنیای واقعی نخواهد داشت.

در دنیای کسب‌وکار به تدریج مفهوم جدیدی شکل گرفت تحت عنوان مدل کسب‌وکار، مدل کسب‌وکار یک طرح یک صفحه‌ای است که در بومی به همین نام ترسیم می‌شود (بوم مدل کسب‌وکار یا Business Model Canvas). مدل کسب‌وکار لزوماً برای طراحی بیزینس‌های جدید نیست و می‌توان از آن برای ارزیابی کسب‌وکار فعلی نیز استفاده کرد. این بوم از 9 خانه تشکیل شده است که اجزای کسب‌وکار شما را نشان می‌دهد و نحوه‌ی تعامل و ارتباط قسمت‌های مختلف کسب‌وکارتان را مشخص می‌کند. در واقع طراحی این 9 خانه مانند معماری ابتدایی کسب‌وکار شما می‌باشد. این 9 خانه به این شرح هستند:

1- بخش‌های مشتریان (Customer Segments)

2- ارتباطات با مشتریان (Customer Relationships)

3- کانال‌ها (Channels)

4- جریان‌های درآمدی (Revenue Streams)

5- ارزش پیشنهادی (Value Proposition)

6- فعالیت‌های کلیدی (Key Activities)

7- منابع کلیدی (Key Resources)

8- شرکای کلیدی (Key Partners)

9- ساختار هزینه‌ای (Cost Structure)

بوم مدل کسب‌وکار نسختین بار توسط فردی به نام الکساندر اُستِروالدر (Alexander Osterwalder) طراحی شد. موضوع مدل‌های کسب‌وکار، موضوع رساله‌ی دوره‌ی دکترای او بود، سپس آن را در دنیای واقعی مورد آزمون و خطا قرار داد و در نهایت بوم مدل کسب‌وکار را ابداع کرد. در سال 2009 کتاب خلق مدل کسب‌وکار او توسط انتشارات وایلی به چاپ رسید که در ایران هم انتشارات آریانا قلم آن را به همین نام منتشر و بارها تجدید چاپ کرده است. در ادامه شرحی مختصر بر هر یک از 9 خانه مدل کسب‌وکار می‌دهیم:

1- بخش‌های مشتریان (Customer Segments)

بخش‌بندی مشتریان یا customer segmentation در این قسمت انجام می‌شود و دسته بندی‌های مختلف مشتری‌های کسب‌وکار شما در آن مشخص می‌شود.

2- ارتباط با مشتریان (Customer Relationships)

نحوه‌ی تعامل و ارتباط با بخش‌های مختلف مشتریان که در قسمت قبل مشخص شده‌اند در این خانه بررسی و تدوین ‌می‌شود.

3- کانال‌ها (Channels)

منظور از کانال، مسیر رساندن ارزش پیشنهادی شما به مشتری‌هایتان است، مثلاً استفاده از وب سایت، داشتن فروشگاه فیزیکی و...

4- جریان‌های درآمدی (Revenue Streams)

مدل و نحوه‌ی درآمدی که در این کسب‌وکار وجود دارد به چه صورت است. به عنوان مثال دریافت وجه فروش از مشتریان، یا در کسب‌وکارهای پلتفرمی، حق کمیسیون از فروش محصولات/خدمات

5- ارزش پیشنهادی (Value Proposition)

تقریباً می‌توان معادل مزیت رقابتی پایدار را برای آن در نظر گرفت. ارزشی است که شما با ارائه محصولات/خدمات خود برای مشتری ایجاد می‌کنید و مشتری حاضر است بابت آن وجهی پرداخت کند. به عنوان مثال در کسب‌وکار اسنپ یا تپسی، در دسترس بودن، ارزانی و سرعت جابه‌جایی را می‌توان به عنوان ارزش پیشنهادی در نظر گرفت. طراحی ارزش پیشنهادی خود یک مبحث مستقل است و استروالدر بومی مجزابرای طراحی آن ابداع کرد.

6- فعالیت‌های کلیدی (Key Activities)

مجموعه فعالیت‌های کلیدی‌ای که در کسب‌وکار انجام می‌شود تا منجر به خلق ارزش پیشنهادی گردد.

7- منابع کلیدی (Key Resources)

منظور از منابع کلیدی، منابع مادی، مالی و غیرمالی سازمان هستند، از قبیل سرمایه‌ی انسانی، تجهیزات، سرمایه‌ی جذب شده و...

8- شرکای کلیدی (Key Partners)

هر کسب‌وکاری برای پیشرفت بهینه نیاز به یک سری شرکای کلیدی دارد. این افراد نقش مهمی در کمک به رشد کسب‌وکار دارند. شرکا می‌توانند سرمایه‌گذاران، شرکت‌های ارائه دهنده‌ی خدمات زیرساخت کسب‌وکار، سرمایه‌گذاران فرشته ((Angel Investors و... باشند.

9- ساختار هزینه‌ای (Cost Structure)

هزینه‌هایی که در این بیزینس وجود دارد و انواع آن‌ها در این خانه نمایش داده می‌شود.

نحوه‌ی تدوین

طراحی بوم مدل کسب‌وکار معمولا زمان زیادی نمی‌گیرد و بسته به نوع کسب‌وکار در یک هفته کاری قابل انجام است. پس از ابداع این مدل توسط استروالدر، در دنیای کسب‌وکار از این بوم به فراوانی استفاده شد و کارآفرینان در سراسر دنیا آن را به کار بردند و می‌برند. در حوزه‌ی راه‌اندزی کسب‌وکار جدید بعدها فردی به نام Ash Maurya با استفاده از این بوم و تغییراتی در آن متد جدیدی به نام بوم ناب (Lean Canvas) طراحی کرد، که این متد برای تست ایده‌های جدید بیزینسی کاربرد دارد و بسیار متد موفقی بوده است. امروزه نکته‌ی در راه‌اندازی کسب‌وکارهای جدید تست سریع ایده در بازار و گرفتن بازخورد از مشتریان احتمالی است، با این کار پی خواهیم برد که آیا اساساً ایده‌ی ما در بازار مشتری دارد؟ آیا مدل کسب‌وکار ما قابلیت رشد و توسعه خواهد داشت؟ و سوالات مهمی از این دست.

در این مطلب سعی کردیم در خصوص بوم مدل کسب‌وکار توضیحات کوتاهی داشته باشیم، برای مطالعه بیشتر در این موضوع می‌توانید به منابع زیر مراجعه کنید:

Not throwing away our shot!

March 26: the PRINTSone team pitched their venture.

Our team received minor feedback, which I admit brought me relief. We were also under time pressure that day, but we managed to unite ourselves without any major issues. The experience was an eye-opener in a way that I was able to strengthen my belief in the importance of a thoroughly planned business.

Entrepreneurship has never been selfish; every crevice in a situation is considered because we are trying to bring something out to the world. It is an instrument of innovation and responsibility.

Why do you really need a Business Model Canvas?

A lot of startups worldwide focus a great deal on the technology, the product, and design, but forget to ever figure out the business — i.e. how the startups make money by acquiring customers. Unless this aspect of the venture is well defined, the business will not succeed. Often, the founders spend a lot of resources on documenting big business plans that they create to satisfy the investors. Sadly, these documents are seldom read or referred to once the investments are secured. Instead of becoming the guiding documents for building a successful business, they end up being bureaucratic paperwork.

A Business Model Canvas is a better way to represent an enterprise’s business plan. It is a business tool that offers focus, flexibility, and transparency. Unlike the long complex traditional business plans, it is a single-page document that brings clarity to an organization’s core objectives and leaves out all the unnecessary stuff. A business can easily identify its strengths, weaknesses & priorities using this business model.

Business Model Canvas was initially proposed by Swiss entrepreneur and Strategyzer co-founder, Alexander Osterwalder. He elaborated on Business Model Canvas in his book “ Business Model Generation”.The key idea was to categorize the Business Model into 9 different elements where each element contains a series of hypotheses about the business model which needs to be tested throughout our business processes. It allows the business models to be visualized through different business models canvas templates. While the business model canvas is popular with the proponents of the Lean Startup method, any new product or business can benefit from using it. Unlike traditional business plans, it is a one-page document that is easy to read and understand and it is more customer-centric which also helps in achieving the market fit.

In this article, we will look at the 9 core components of a business model canvas.

• Customer Segments

• Value Propositions

• Channels

• Customer Relationships

• Revenue Streams

• Key Resources

• Key Activities

• Key Partners

• Cost structure

To give you better clarity, we will be using H&M as an example here:

Customer Segments

The first block of the Business Canvas Model is about understanding who are the customers you’re delivering value to. What do they do? And why would they buy your product or service? None of the businesses can survive without their clients or customers.

Customer Segments define the groups of people or organizations you are targeting or serving. Every company needs profitable customers in order to survive. Using the Business Model Canvas, you will determine what your customer segment will be.

In the case of H&M, there are three distinct customer segments to whom they offer different products. Men, Women, and Children.

Value Proposition

The second block is a Value Proposition which is about the assurance of the value your business is delivering, which answers ‘why’ someone should choose you over your competitors.

A few important questions to ask while determining your Unique Value Proposition are:

• Which specific customer pain point are you trying to solve?

• What job are you helping customers get done?

• How does your UVP eliminate customer pain points?

Applying this to H&M and analyzing it, one important thing to take note of is “What makes the people choose to purchase from H&M, over their competitors?

The clear answer to the above question is: Their value propositions involve offering various ranges of trendy men’s, women’s, and kid’s clothing and accessories at a reasonable price, involving great e-commerce experience and fast fashion.

Their great value proposition is one of the reasons for the brand’s success.

Channels

Channel describes how a company communicates with and reaches its customer segments to deliver its value proposition. It is important to understand which path (or channel) is best for your company to reach your customers.

A few questions every startup needs to think about:

Which channels are to be focused on to reach the desired customer segments?

How are those channels integrated?

Which ones are the most cost-effective?

H&M has 3 primary channels in which they communicate and deliver products to its customers:

• Direct sales through their stores

• Online (both app and website)

• Social media for communicating with customers

Customer Relationships

Once you have acquired customers, you will need to think about how you can build, nurture, and grow those relationships. Customer Relationships describe the type of relationship a company establishes with its specific customer segments.

If we talk about H&M, it includes online store assistance, personal assistance, and automated services.

Revenue Streams

How will the business make money? Who are the customers willing to pay and for what benefit? How would they prefer to pay? How are they currently paying? How does each stream add up to the total revenue?

Revenue streams refer to the sources out of which a company makes money by selling its product/service. And one should clearly describe how you will generate revenue from your value propositions. There are various ways to generate a revenue stream for your company such as asset sale, subscription fees, leasing, licensing, advertising, etc. These revenue streams should be linked to the personas or segments and the value propositions.

At H&M, revenue is generated by making money on the basis of sales of clothes and accessories either at a store or online.

Key Activities

The next step is to define the key activities — the areas you need to be good at to create value for your customers

For H&M’s — Design is a key activity as its value proposition is to provide the latest trendy clothing items at an affordable price. Their collections need to be constantly updated to follow the latest fashion trends at the time.

Apart from that manufacturing, customer service, retail process, and distribution channels are also the key activities of the brand.

Key Resources

Key Resources describes the most important assets required to make a business model work. These can be things like your office, hosting requirements, human resources, financial, transportation, electricity etc. These resources should be mapped to the key activities. They are considered as an asset to a company, which are needed in order to sustain and support the business.

In the case of H&M, different key resources are stock management, interconnected network, brand, and logistics.

Key Partners

Key partners are the external companies or suppliers that you would need to perform your key activities and deliver value to the customers. In order to optimize operations and reduce the risks of a business model, organizations usually cultivate buyer-supplier relationships so they can focus on their core activity.

Complimentary business alliances also can be considered through joint ventures, strategic alliances between competitors, or non-competitors. Key partners also should be mapped to key activities.

H&M’s key partners include manufacturers, designers, online platform agencies, and renting space owners.

Cost Structure

The final step of the Business Model Canvas is about the cost estimation, the total cost to run your business model.

This particular block includes some of the most essentials of any business, such as manufacturing costs, physical space, rent, payroll, and also marketing and advertising cost. Cost Structure defines all the costs and expenses that your business will incur while operating the business model. This final step in this process is important because it will help your team decide whether to pivot or proceed.

In H&M, it includes labor, material, taxes, marketing, logistics, energy sources, etc.

Creating a Business Model canvas forces you to think through the important factors that will make or break your business. It is important to go through the Business Model Canvas with your team so that you can improve the odds of launching a successful business.

Now it's time to get your work done and begin your market discovery journey with Prodeasy’s easy Business Model Canvas.

Lucifer with an artist reader

・❥ You’re hosting an art class, and the nude model is someone you never expected

| Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 |

xx: it’s a long one y’all 😭 we’re still in the pre-dating era! Slowburn, anybody? Forget the crumbs, have the whole loaf of bread, my swans ☺️

warning: brief mentions of nudity & mild swearing

After Lucifer’s initial tour of the hotel, he started coming around much more often.

He was beginning to reconcile with his daughter, and that meant making up for all the years he had missed out due to his self-isolation.

When Lucifer came to the hotel for Charlie, he always made time for you.

At first, when you had still been busy working away at the paintings for the hotel, he had used the excuse that he was just coming over simply to “admire the art.”

Nevermind that he crossed the entire hotel just to look at some paintings, but you never pried him about it. You’d be lying if you said you weren’t waiting in anticipation for his visits.

Sometimes, he would lean against the door frame in silence, watching as your brush glided across the surface of the canvas. He dared not to disturb you while you worked. Too afraid he’d cause you to slip up and place your brush in the wrong spot, ruining your piece.

He never would admit it, but the soft, feather-like strokes you made always seemed to lull him into a state of tranquil bliss.

If he had the opportunity to sit there for hours and watch you paint, he’d probably drift off into a peaceful sleep.

It was ASMR for the King of Hell.

You weren’t always sure whether he was admiring the painting, or you. You were too concentrated on making a leaf of a tree, or the surface of the water just right to trace his gaze.

You’d think with Lucifer being the embodiment of pride and his rank as ruler of the realm, he’d have demanded your attention instantly.

Instead, it was you who usually spoke first. “Are you going to sit down?” You’d tease with a warm smile, greeting him with a bat of your eyelashes as you soaked your brush with fresh paint.

“Of course, I just wanted to see your progress, it’s looks beautiful as always.”

You had hummed a thanks as he strode over to the flat cushion in the middle of the room, and collapsed in it. He had now claimed it as his personal spot ever since he had first used it when you let him use his wings for reference.

Every time he made himself comfortable, he would exhale a large sigh of relief, like he just walked out of a noisy and over-stimulating circus show.

His tolerance for people in general was still pretty dicey, but here, in the quiet corner of the hotel, he could reset his mind.

And with you there? He didn’t feel so lonely. Even in your silence, your presence and the multitude of large paintings leaning against the walls was all he needed to keep his mind from drifting off into darker thoughts.

“Boy, do you work fast. I can’t imagine what Hell would like if you were the one running things.”

“Probably terrible,” You had laughed, “I may be able to create art under time constraints, but the pressure of an entire realm on my shoulders? We’ll let the super-powerful-fallen-angel deal with that.”

“There goes my vacation,” He had sighed dramatically.

Sometimes, he’d catch you humming to an ancient tune, and every time he’d ask you about it.

“What song is this?” He’d ask, genuine interest lacing his voice.

“Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen”

“I’m not even going to pretend to know what that means”

“ ‘Innsbruck, I must leave thee’ ,” you’d laugh, “It’s a German song and is, you guessed it, from the Renaissance.”

“Oh, right. Germany. Yeah, they were our biggest influx of souls back in the early 1900s,” He replied, “Must’ve been fun people.”

You shook your head at that. Right, ‘Fun’, that was a rather.. surface-level take on what that country had gotten into during that period of time.

“You should tell me more about the Renaissance.” He’d ask with puppy-dog eyes, which always made you set down your brush and turn to him. A content smile spreading across your face.

Your knowledge of such a time always intrigued him, the Renaissance as a whole did. For so long, he had desperately clung onto the hope that some of humanity would go on to create great and beautiful things due to his actions. That his Fall wasn't all for nothing.

Slowly, that hope fizzled out, and Lucifer’s growing delusion that Earth mirrored the sinful realm of Hell in more ways than one plagued his mind.

And then you appeared, passionate about Man’s most beautiful creations. Art, music, long-ago writings of sappy declarations of love in the form of poetry, and times when humanity’s intellectual and innovative nature flourished.

“It was absolutely magnificent,” You’d start, drawing from the depths of your mind all the imagery you could remember from when you were alive, “Filled with all kinds of artistic expression, painters that filled the ceilings of churches with heavenly imagery-“

Lucifer had snorted at that. This era in time had such a romanticized idea of what Heaven and their Creators were like. He pitied their ignorance.

“-and beautiful music. They were known for bringing to life a worldview known as Humanism. It was meant to bring back ancient philosophy — like from the Greeks — to uplift people to participate in the betterment of humanity, and to perpetuate much more virtuous actions. There must be a whole city full of them up there, I can't imagine anyone from that period ending up down here with how protective they were of their moral code.”

He’d always listen attentively in silence as you educated him. Sometimes, he’d even pull out the classic yellow rubber duck toy he held so close to his heart, and begin to fiddle with it as you spoke.

When he worked on them in your room, he’d curate them especially for you.

“Look! This one can refill your palette with the bestest freshest paint!” He’d exclaim as he wiggled it in the air, “And it still quacks!”

Every time, you’d pull up a cushion across the table from him, and rest your chin on your hand as you watched in amusement as he demonstrated his work.

In this instance, he squeezed the sides of the duck and it let out a pathetic Sqeaaooo and a glob of paint slid out of its mouth and plopped right onto the table. It splattered, leaving a few droplets on his pretty white overcoat.

Lucifer was a messy fella, and times like this made you growl quietly and reach for a wet cloth from your cleaning bucket. Hastily trying to rid his clothing of the bright red paint. Your movements across his sleeve made his body tense, and his breath quicken.

For someone who easily flustered you with abrupt acts of affection like the first time you met, Lucifer had the uncanny ability to turn his face as red as his cheek spots when you displayed such care towards him.

“It's still a work in progress.” He’d bashfully assure you every time something like that wouldn’t go as planned.

You’d wish Lucifer displayed such creativity outside of the yellow bath toy, but you promised yourself to help him down that path.

You could only imagine how many ideas this man had stored in that head of his, and you had a feeling you’d get him to wake up eventually. The thought of being there for him — with him, made your cheeks hot.

When it was finally time for him to leave the hotel — sometimes hours later, you’d walk him to the door of your little atelier and he’d turn to you, with that charming smirk and half-lidded look.

“Aren’t you going to say goodbye to Charlie?” You had ask, as he adjusted his hat and coat to depart.

“I already did before I got here,” he replied nonchalantly, as if you two existed in completely different buildings. Nevermind that she was a flight of stairs and a few halls away.

There were no more bold kisses to the limbs from him after your first meeting, to your displeasure. Even thinking about it gave you feelings that tugged painfully at your heartstrings and made you beg internally for more.

You desperately wished for him to softly hold your hand once more, to feel his lips graze your knuckles, to drink in the warmth of his touch.

Instead, he clutched his staff tightly, and dipped his hat to you.

“Until next time, Darling,” his voice, like silk, had echoed as waves of gold surrounded him. In a blink of an eye, you were left alone once more. Your heart pounding just like the first time, and every time after that.

Today, your heart was pounding just as fast. Except there was no Lucifer in sight.

Three days ago, you got a call from a good friend of yours who ran an art studio on the other side of Pentagram City. She realized she had double booked her classes, and had begged you to take over one for them.

“I’ve never taught anyone before…” You had trailed off over the phone, apprehensive to the idea.

“Nonsense! You are so well spoken, and you’re fantastic at this kind of stuff,” She exclaimed, “It’s not that hard, all you have to do is sit there while they trace the model and step in a few times to give them some tips on techniques. They aren’t a beginner class, so they shouldn’t need much instruction. You’re also in charge of guiding the model with the poses, but I already have a sheet that has them all, so you just need to follow along.”

You stood there for a moment, thinking. This was something totally strange to you. What were art classes like in Hell, anyway?

“Oh, AND they are going to be nude. At least partially, we make them cover their um, nether regions. That shouldn’t be a problem for you, right? I mean, you get paid for it so…”

Your friend trailed off, and the line went quiet for a moment as you mind raced. You looked around the now -empty atelier, your paintings finished and hung up around the hotel. You had nothing that was stopping you from doing it, not your skills, your time, or even the fact that the model was going to be exposed. You were in Hell, seeing someone like that was an almost daily occurrence. Telling her no just because of your nerves was a douchy thing to do, and you were far above that.

“Fine.” You conceded.

“YAYY!!” She shrieked in happiness, and you had to yank the phone away from your ear before it could start to bleed.

The next few minutes were her telling you where, when, and what to do. You had listened intently, memorizing her words. You didn’t want to make a fool out of yourself in front of strangers that you were teaching.

After hanging up the phone, had you went downstairs and to the hotel’s lobby to inform Charlie of your new job.

“I’m really sorry if this interferes with me working here, but I just couldn’t leave her hanging.”

“Pffft, it’s fine,” Charlie had waved it off, “You accepting the position as my new interior design manager is more than enough, i’m just glad you’re getting out of your comfort zone like this!”

You sighed a breath of relief. Good, no issues. You were worried she would have said no, and the fact she knows about Lucifer visiting you? Well, you weren’t sure how she was taking that. You never dared to ask, nor did she make any kind of indication her feelings about that.

“What’s it like?” She had asked, breaking you out of your thoughts.

“It’s nothing too bad, I think I might actually like it. I just help them with their techniques on mastering figure drawing by using a model as a reference. My friend says they are still looking for one to pose, so hopefully they find one in the next few days.”

“Interestingggggg” Charlie responded, her eyes holding a mischievous glint to them. You could see the gears turning in her head, but what for, you had no clue. You didn’t ask either.

You had spent the next few days preparing, you even had visited the studio. It was very pretty, and the room you were in was small, but rather homey. You had more confidence with your ability to lead the class now after locating specific areas of importance.

Which lead you to present day. You were hurriedly scrambling around the room, grabbing anything of necessity.

Your eyes jumped to the clock, and a squeak of panic escaped you as the class’ starting time got closer and closer. Finally placing the last pencil in your bag, you raced down the stairs, beelining for the door.

“Where you going in such a rush, Hot Cakes?” Angel Dust called out to you from the bar, Husk next to him as he poured Angel another drink.

“To class, do you know where Charlie or Alastor is?” You questioned them.

A rush of wind tickled your back, and you whipped around to see the Radio Demon himself looming behind you.

“Hello, my friend!” Alastor’s toothy grin on full display.

“I heard you were looking for Charlie, unfortunately she left not too long ago. She said it was something of great importance, and that it could shape the future of the hotel. But do not worry, I am here to assist you!”

You placed your hands together into a praying motion, trying your best to appeal to the demon’s better nature. If he had one.

“Can you pretty, pretty please send me to the Regal Fortune Studio? I’m doing a class there and I need to get there on time.” You begged.

Alastor’s eyes squinted in thought. Before his smile widened more than ever.

“Alright, I suppose so.”

You didn’t get to utter a thank you before the demon snapped his fingers, and dark energy crackled around you. Cold suddenly gripped at your shoulders, and your vision blurred.

You squeezed your eyes shut, unsure of what would happen next.

‘Please don’t kill me, please don’t kill me’

Suddenly, light hit your eyelids and you slowly opened them to see the studio before you, just steps away from the front door.

You exhaled a sigh of relief, before yanking open the door.

The door to the classroom was slightly ajar, and you could hear faint voices inside. Indicating that everyone but you was ready to begin.

You crossed the lobby, ready to pull on the handle of the door, before a slight movement in the corner of your eye caused you to turn your head.

At the far end of the room, you could partially see long, blonde hair sticking out into view. Then, you heard the stranger speak to herself. Quiet grumblings of a feminine voice as they berated themself.

You raised an eyebrow.. could it be?

“Charlie?” You asked slowly.

The stranger squeaked, their hair pulled out of view. You heard a thump against the wall, as though they’ve pressed themselves against it in an attempt to hide.

You slowly tip toed the hallway, before whipping your body around the corner, surprising the mysterious figure.

“Charlie!” You shrieked in surprise at the sight of her, crouched against the wall. Her eyes widened in shock, and she let out a shriek of her own. Her eyes darted around, before she pulled herself up to meet your gaze.

“Oh my gosh heyyyyy, I didn’t expect to see you here!” She mocked innocence.

“Bullshit,” you retorted, “I told you where I was going like three days ago. Why are you really here?”

Sweat beaded on her forehead, and she bit her lip. As if she was deciding whether to tell you the truth, or another lie.

Suddenly, she let go of the breath she held, her shoulders dropping in defeat.

“Okay.. the truth is, when you told me you were hosting an art class I was so thrilled! For you, of course. But then, I thought about how much you and my dad were getting along! Then, I thought about how you guys seemed to have the shared interest of art. So I.. told him about the class?”

“And?” You questioned, irritation lacing your voice. You really did not have time for this.

“And I told him about how you were still looking for a model, and you know how he is. He doesn’t have a problem doing things like that in front of people, and he’s getting better at being around people in general..”

You gripped Charlie by her shoulders when she trailed off again, shaking her.

“Spit it out! What about your dad?!”

“HE AGREED TO BE THE MODEL FOR YOUR CLASS BUT I HAD NO IDEA THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE NUDE UNTIL WE SHOWED UP BUT HE JUST SAID GOODBYE AND WALKED INTO THE BACK ROOM!!”

You stopped dead, your breath caught in your throat. You turned your head slightly, eyeing the classroom door.

“Your dad… is in there… naked?” You finally managed to get the sentence out, your gaze returning to Charlie in a look of disbelief.

This was a joke, right? There was noooo way you were going to walk in there a minute and see Lucifer there. This was just a terrible (-bly good?) dream.

Charlie nodded in defeat, her head hung low.

“I don’t even have the mental strength to go in there. I couldn’t stop him, even if I wanted to. He was dead set on this.”

You rubbed a hand along your face, gathering your thoughts.

“Well, there’s no stopping it now,” You said, rolling your shoulders in preparation, “Guess I have a class to teach.”

“Have fun..?” Charlie smiled innocently at you. Her plan was working, after all.

You shot her a glare before crossing the lobby once more, and pulled open the door. You stepped inside, breath hitched, and gently shut the door behind you.

In front of you, four older women sat behind easels with a blank white canvas attached. If they noticed your arrival, they didn’t show it. Instead, they giggled in the direction of the slightly lifted stage. You couldn’t see who was on the stage, but the familiar voice with giddy amusement told you exactly who it was.

“You’re finally here!” Lucifer called, and you did nothing but stand there for a moment.

Straightening your back, you exhaled a deep breath, and walked forward. Right past the stage. You kept your eyes in front of you, ignoring the golden gaze that trailed your figure.

You positioned yourself between the platform and the women who had finally stopped giggling and whispering to each other, and cleared your throat.

“Hello, everyone. I’m your instructor for today, unfortunately Renee couldn’t be here today. We’ll be going over the usual though, figure drawing with the model present today.”

You squeezed your eyes shut, before opening them with renewed energy.

Slowly, you turned on your heels and pivoted in the direction of the platform. Your eyes widening at the sight.

Before you, on a long, red couch lay the King of Hell. Lucifer Morningstar, in all his glory. Shirtless, with no pants in sight. Thankfully, a thin, barely-hiding-anything sheet covered his waist section.

You met his gaze, a playful smirk etched on his lips. He wiggled his eyebrows at you, gauging for a reaction.

You made sure not to give him one. If he thought he was going a reaction from you in front of all these people, he was wrong.

“Let’s start by doing a quick sketching exercise, take about ten minutes to do your best and draw the model in front of you. Once the timer goes off, we’ll review and go over some techniques, before switching to a much longer pose.”

You clicked the timer, and the faint ticking of its gears cemented you into reality.

“Is that Lucifer?” One of the ladies whispered to her friend a chair over. Her friend shrugged, “I have no idea.. but boy, is he handddssoomee.”

You pressed your lips together, trying to ignore their gossip.

Sitting in the chair farthest from the group, you crossed your arms, your gaze resting on the floor. Was he looking at you right now?

You sat there for a moment, before realizing you couldn’t ignore him forever. He was the model after all. Soon you’d have to be helping him change poses anyway.

You looked up, drinking in the view. He was lazily leaning against the back of the velvet couch,

His hair, with no hat to cover it, stuck to his face messily with sweat. As he adjusted his head, a few strands of curls fell in front of his eyes. His intense stare slightly masked.

Was the room getting hot, or was it just you?

His eyes were locked on you, that stupid smirk still on his face. You sent daggers back to him.

He replied with a wave of his fingers.

You refused to let yours eyes travel any farther than his face, not ready for what kind of images your mind would give you regarding what was underneath the sheet.

“Did you know the Renaissance was pretty famous for constantly expanding its artistic art forms?” A voice smooth as butter filled the silence.

What the hell was he doing?!

“Believe it or not, the naked human was a very big inspiration for many of their paintings. No sheet in sight.”

Some of the women perked up in interest at Lucifer’s words. You couldn’t tell if they were actually interested in what he had to say, or just to hear his voice as it commanded the room’s attention.

“For an era so virtuous,” He teased the last part, reminding you of your discussion days earlier, “They so did love their scandalous marble status.”

He let that sink in, and you rolled your eyes dramatically at him. You couldn’t believe this was how Charlie planned on setting the two of you up.

A candle lit romantic dinner? Nah. A trip to the movies? Boring, apparently.

Were you against the idea of getting closer with the ‘Big Boss of Hell’? Of course not! He made you laugh and was actually interested in your ideas. This was just not how you expected it to go down.

“Keep talking, pretty boy!” One called from behind her easel.

Before he could speak again, the timer shrieked in your palm. You shot up from your seat, clasping your hands together loudly.

You turned your back to Lucifer as you began instructing the class, showing them a few techniques on how to straighten their lines, and how to hold their pencil just the right way that would give them a much thicker line for specific parts of the body.

“Alright, now, we’re going to have the model switch positions.”

Grabbing the paper that held all the different poses, you held it out to him, your finger tapping against the specific one in question. It showed the figure in a front facing view, one hand closed in a fist supported their chin, the other tucked neatly underneath. As if they were listening intently to some hot gossip.

“I’m afraid I can’t see what‘s on the paper. Perhaps, if you come a little closer and show me?

You groaned internally, he was enjoying this too much. You strided over to him. His gaze followed you, his grin only widening as you closed in on where he laid.

“You need to turn facing them,” You commanded the King himself. He pivoted, his body fully facing the group of gawking onlookers. He gave them a wink, and they hid behind their easels, their whispers fast and beathless.

“Now, you have to move your arm.. like this.” You spoke, reaching out one hand. You hesitated for a minute. You’ve never been so.. upfront with like this.

Reaching down, you gently circled your fingers around his wrist. Slowly, you allowed your hand to slip down, reaching his forearm.

His body was hot to the touch, and you felt like melting right then and there. Maybe it was time just to accept defeat, this man was just too good looking.

You felt the muscles of his arms shift, and you halted for a half a second.

Did he just tense?

Maybe you weren’t the only one who could be teased.

You guided his arm forward, and then up. Sliding your fingers, ever so gently, around his knuckles. You squeezed, and his hand enclosed into a fist. You guided it underneath his chin.

“Touchy today, aren’t we?” He spoke quietly to you, his voice dripping with velvet allure as you positioned him as the image on the paper showed.

“You be quiet.” You scolded him, trying your best to bring on your most serious face.

His quiet chuckle in response made you drop the face instantly. It was obvious you were pretty bad at this kind of thing, at least compared to Lucifer.

You grabbed his other arm, and gently tugged it underneath. Letting it lay neatly below him.

Taking a step back, you admired your work.

You were going to return to your seat, before a thought crossed your mind. You took a step forward, closing in on Lucifer again.

“And one more thing…” You started.

Using two fingers, you grazed the bottom of his chin, firmly pressing upward. Instinctually, his head followed the motion. He met your eyes, his gaze intensifying.

“Good boy.” You teased, your voice laced with a hint of sultry satisfaction.

You didn’t miss his pupils dilating into slits and his breath hitching slightly. You just turned on your heels, not giving him a second glance before returning to your seat.

You tilted your head at him slightly, looking at him through your eyelashes. Your lips curling into a provocative smirk as you gripped the timer.

Maybe now this would be an even match.

“Begin.”

Time flew by once more, and this time, Lucifer refused to meet your gaze. Instead, he was purely focused on the easels in front him.

“Tell me, my dear artist,” He began, addressing the demon woman before him. Her eyes widened when she realized he was speaking to her.

“If we were back in the Renaissance, would I make quite the muse?”

“Pardon?” The lady asked timidly, her voice coming out in a whisper.

“How about a statue? Think about that. Tall, Marble-skinned, and… lacking this rather uncomfortable cloth.”

The woman’s face turned bright red. Her mouth opened and closed, her tongue refusing to cooperate. Lucifer knew how to play this game well.

Then, he turned his head to you.

“What about you, stranger? Would you think i’d look good in such a form?”

You crossed your legs, leaning back in your chair.

“If the statue could stay quiet, while the class finished their work. Then, perhaps.”

The angel huffed, averting his gaze. He blew a few strands of hair out of his face, before continuing his blank stare at the wall.

The timer in your palm rang once more. You lifted yourself out of the chair. This was it, the last pose.

You strided back to Lucifer, his smoldering gaze on your figure as you approached.

For this pose, he needed to be off his stomach. You weren’t going to roll him like a log, or go anywhere near his torso. That was too brazen of an act for you to commit to, at least with all the eyes on you. Instead, you squeezed your eyes shut and gripped the white sheet. You tugged with all your might.

With an oomph he rolled along with it, he shoulder blades digging into the cushions as he landed exactly where you wanted.

Before the ladies could get even a glimpse, you hurriedly adjusted the sheet back onto him.

“Impressive, bending the devil himself to your will.” He commented as you continued to adjust his arms.

Ignoring him, you moved onto his legs, positioning them slightly.

“Careful~” He chided.

You said nothing to that either. Once he was in the correct pose, you released him. You glanced at his hair, now messily covering his face.

You reached forward and, splaying your fingers, pushed his hair back behind his head. You let your nails softly graze his scalp before you tugged them free.

“Sorry, can’t have your curls covering your face for the girls back there.”

“I bet they wished they were in your position,” Lucifer hummed “Few rarely are.”

You chuckled softly, “Please, the view looks better from back there.”

He let out an audible “Ha!” as the words left your lips and you turned away from him once more. You knew that must’ve stung, sending a blow to the prideful king’s ego.

Thirty minutes went by as you sat there, you spent more time examining your hands than meeting the gaze of the angel across the room.

This had turned into quite an eventful class, you couldn’t lie. You also didn’t expect such a shameless attitude from Lucifer, he was much more timid back in your painting room. Perhaps there was a side of him you still had yet to meet.

To be honest, sitting here, watching the clock tick by, you were pretty surprised this man had managed to stay near-perfectly still these past few hours.

Another thirty, and the timer rang its last chime. You had been positioned behind the drawing ladies, giving them critiques on their work.

You ignored the fact it was Lucifer you kept staring at on their canvas, instead simply regarding it as charcoal lines in need of straightening.

You wished them farewell at the doorway as they left. You hoped they had at least a pleasant time, since they’d have at least a good story to tell to their girlfriends over the phone.

Shutting the door with a soft thud, you sat there for a moment before your shoulders dropped in exhaustion. You honestly weren’t used to that kind of atmosphere, since your work consisted of you alone in a quiet room all day.

Taking a few steps backwards farther into the room, your gaze landing on the couch atop the platform. It was empty. Your eyes widened, did Lucifer just leave you here?

You rushed out of the classroom and strode into the lobby, searching for any signs of him.

“Wow, that little sneaky piece of-”

“I’m right here.” Came a familiar voice behind you.

You jumped, whipping around to find Lucifer dressed fully. Hat and all. Now this is what you were used to. Crossing your arms, you raised an eyebrow.

“What was that back there?” You motioned to the room behind you.

“My daughter invited me to look good in front of people and I did an outstanding job, as usual.”

“As the model? You couldn’t have just used your position as King to get a spot behind the easel instead?”

Lucifer grinned widely, leaning back against the wall. Could this have been his plan, and not Charlie’s? Now you weren’t so sure.

“Unfortunately, not many of us have a skill as perfected as yours with a brush.”

You accepted that praise. You had worked hard for it.

“And, not many people have as great of a photogenic face as me. So, we’re square.”

You chuckled, shaking your head as you walked away. Lucifer kept pace as you both exited the studio, heading toward the curb.

“That reminds me,” Lucifer halted, reaching into his pocket to fish for something.

You stopped beside him, the mystery item in his coat pocket piquing your interest.

“I fixed it!” He held the the paint-vomiting rubber duck out to you, wiggling it in delight.

“You did?”

“That’s right. This bad boy can now pop out six different colors, you just have to pull its beak.”

“That actually really cool,” You laughed, taking the rubber toy from him. You turned it in your hands, maybe later you’d pretty it up with some fresh paint.

You looked up at him again, his golden eyes shimmering from the bright neon backdrop. You have much more to say to him, but your thoughts were jumbled from the day. There was one, though.

“You know, next time you should just ask.” You gripped the duck firmly in the palm of your hand, lowering your arm.

“Ask what?”

“Don’t play dumb with me, Luci. You’re telling me you hijacked my class because you had a change in career choice?”

His smile turned playful again, and he pivoted to face you, shrugging nonchalantly.

“Maybe, maybe not. That depends if i’ll be seeing you next week?” His eyes met yours with a questioning stare.

You gave him a warm-hearting smile, nodding your head.

“As always.”

His smile widened, and with a tap of his staff. Golden waves cascaded around you. It wasn’t cold, like Alastors. Instead, it was warm and relieving, like face planting into your pillows after an exhausting day.

As your vision began to obscure, you saw his face peak into the cascades of light, his hand reaching forward.

“I almost forgot.” His voice echoed, distorted by the magic as it circled them.

His hand enclosed around your own, and planted a kiss right onto your wrist. His lips lingered for a moment, as did his grip around your hand, as if your time together was too fleeting to let go.

You promised silently it wasn’t.

The light rushed over you suddenly, and you had to squeeze your eyes shut to keep from being blinded. Lucifer’s touch vanishing with your sight.

Feeling your feet planting on solid ground, your eyes widened to familiar surroundings of the hotel lobby. You were home, and Lucifer was no where in sight.

“Hey, Hot Cakes!” Angel Dust called, still seated in the same spot at the bar, “How’d it go?”
