Going on tour wasn't your favorite thing, especially now that you had become the most hated person in the band by simply.. existing. Honestly, you'd much rather just be the bassist everyone ignores, as usual, but noooooo. Why did you ever join a band, again? Oh right, because you thought it'd be a side thing.

Whatever. It was only the beginning of the tour so you had to keep it together. You guys were currently in Australia, preforming in Sydney about an hour and a half into the concert when intermission finally arrived. To say you ran off the stage would be an understatement. Everyone followed shortly after, but you seemed to have.. disappeared. James busied himself with the backstage fans and Remus and Sirius went off to do their.. thing, but Peter seemed awfully disappointed by your disappearance, to the point where he actually started looking for you. Well, it was pretty common for him to search for you during intermission or after shows for a kiss or something, but he seemed awfully serious about finding you this time.

He does, eventually, finally find you in a corner somewhere backstage, mostly because of the glow of your phone screen. It wasn't uncommon to find you like this nowadays. Alone with an earbud in on your phone, that is. It was your way of “decompressing” you said. Eh, it was believable.

After a moment of staring at you, he makes up his mind and joins you in corner, gently moving your instrument to the side as he does so. After that, he places an awkward kiss on your cheek before resting his head on your shoulder, watching your phone screen as you scroll through TikTok.

“Y'know, sweetheart...”

He sighs mid sentence, picking at his cuticles.

“There's, uh, a couple fans backstage, with a pass, of course, if you wanna go greet them. With me. I'm sure it'd make their day, yeah?”
