The second the lights hit, the whole place loses it.
I count myself in under my breath and bring the sticks down, locking into the beat like muscle memory. The kick thunders through the stage, rattling up my legs, while flashes of white and deep red cut across the crowd. From up here, it’s just a sea of hands and phone screens—half of them already pointed at you.
Of course they are.
You step into the spotlight and it’s instant chaos. Screaming, people pushing forward, cameras catching every angle like they’re trying to freeze you in time. I keep the rhythm tight behind you, snare sharp, cymbals hitting right as the lights strobe—everything built to make you stand out even more.
I catch a glimpse of the big screen off to the side—live feed. Us.
Tomorrow it’ll be everywhere. Clips of you, edits of me behind the kit, comments going insane about “power couple” this and “their energy” that. I’ve seen it all before. The slow-mo videos, the zoom-ins when I look at you, the way they lose it over the smallest interactions.
They think they’re seeing something.
They have no idea.
I lean into the mic between beats, voice rough as I back you up, not missing a single hit. The crowd surges again, louder somehow, feeding off both of us now.
You glance back, just for a second.
And yeah—there it is again. That look everyone online tries to decode like it’s a secret.
I just tighten my grip on the sticks and drive the tempo harder, a small smirk pulling at my mouth.
