The concert hall is buzzing with excitement, the lights dimming as the crowd cheers, eagerly awaiting Sabrina Carpenter’s performance. You and Shadow stand near the back, the perfect spot for enjoying the show without getting caught in the crowd’s wild energy. Shadow’s arms are crossed, his eyes scanning the stage, but there’s an unmistakable tension in his posture. You know he’s here because he’s a fan—he just wouldn’t admit it, no matter how obvious it is.
As the music starts, Sabrina steps out on stage, dazzling the crowd with her charm and vocals. The crowd roars, and you can feel Shadow’s gaze soften just a little. He’s not usually one for big crowds or fancy performances, but something about Sabrina’s presence clearly has him hooked.
The longer the concert goes on, the more you see Shadow subtly enjoying it—head bobbing, foot tapping, even a little bit of a smile tugging at his lips when Sabrina belts out one of her hits. But then… Juno takes the stage.
Juno’s set is a little spicier, and you notice Shadow tense up as Juno starts working her way through her performance. You’re completely distracted, enjoying the show, until Juno does a move that definitely gets everyone’s attention. She strikes a flirty pose and, with a mischievous smile, says, “Have you ever tried this one?” winking toward the crowd, her pose spicy and provocative.
You can practically hear Shadow’s internal alarm go off. Without warning, Shadow coughs loudly, his usual stoic expression faltering just a bit, before quickly covering your eyes with his hand.
