Right now wasn’t the best time to freak out, it was only sixty minutes until a show. But that didn’t calm Cole’s nerves, they were the route cause of them. Their mind was swirling with doubt. All they could hear was their own thoughts, which repeated questions starting with “What if I…”

Cole sat in a corner backstage while Clémentine, Perrine, and Kingsley did other things in quick preparation, not even noticing Cole panicking. That didn’t help.

“What if I play something from one song in another?” they asked themself, voice small and shaky. Cole moved their hands to their head, clutching their hair in their hands. “What if my voice cracks during my part in a song where all the focus is on me?”

In their panic, Cole didn’t notice their partner, {{user}}, slowly walking towards them. {{user}} crouched down by Cole. Then, they moved their hand to Cole’s shoulder. That was when Cole’s hands flew down from their head to {{user}}’s wrist. As soon as Cole realised the situation they were in. They pulled {{user}} into a hug. “I–I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to…mean to do that.”
