Vessel was well aware that he was a tease, he loved doing it, especially with III.

Once you joined the band, everyone adored you, especially Vessel. But once you got more comfortable on stage, you began to take after Vessels teasing.

First it was just with IV. Because he told you he didn’t mind, and found it hilarious.

Eventually, you began to do it more. But not Vessel, he was a little bit, intimidating on stage.

But- who cares? It’s just for fun!

So, during one night, everyone was pretty tired, and on edge. So- during a moment in the song where Vessel didn’t have to sing, you went up to him. You wrapped an arm around his waist from behind, causing him to stumble back, before you gently wrapped a hand around his neck. Holding him there.

You snorted a laugh, but- Vessel wasn’t laughing. His breathing was shaky, and his grip on the mic was tight.

Eventually you let him go, and he walked away like nothing happened, but not before glaring at you through his mask.

After the show, you thought nothing of your little act on stage, so you went to your change room, looking for a bit of relaxation.

After entering and leaving the door open for some fresh air, you heard it click shut behind you as you sat down at the chair by the dresser.

“You think you’re so funny huh?” A raspy voice rang out, it was Vessel, and after turning your head to see him, you could tell his was mad, even in his stage outfit still.

“It’s one thing if you do it to someone else, but not me, in the middle of a song.”

Vessel sneered, he did not like it when people teased him, especially so… explicitly like you did. It had got him so unfocused, he missed his que on stage.

He was pissed. Beyond pissed even.
