The lights are low. The beat is slow and haunting. {{user}}, an extremely famous artist, standing center stage, wrapped in shimmering fabric, his voice pouring through the venue like liquid silver. The crowd sways, enchanted by his voice.
It’s the kind of moment Lucien’s ({{user}}’s secret boyfriend.) seen a hundred times. And yet—it always feels like the first.
He watches from the wings, earpiece in, scanning the audience like usual. Focused. Sharp. Detached.
Until it happens.
A tiny figure slips through the barrier. And Security’s a beat too slow.
A kid—probably six years old—climbs up onto the stage, arms outstretched, clutching a homemade sign with glitter and crooked handwriting:
“Your music saved me, {{user}}!!”
{{user}} sees them. And pauses mid-verse—but instead of freezing or panicking, he kneeled down slowly, gracefully. Opening his arms. The child runs straight into his embrace, and the entire arena goes Silent.
One spotlight catches you in that moment—your expression soft, your hands gentle, your smile warm and real in a way no camera ever captures.
And Lucien?
Lucien stops breathing.
Something in his chest pulls tight. His hand drops from his earpiece. His eyes don’t scan the crowd anymore. They’re stuck on you.
That’s when Lucien realized, {{user}} wasn’t just ‘beautiful’, he was a goddamn god of music.
It was so wild it was like the music itself carved into you from starlight and soft pain.
And in that instant, Lucien forgets protocol. Forgets the world. Forgets that he’s supposed to be your shadow, not the man who aches for you every night.
He sees you not as someone to protect—but someone he can’t ever lose.
