Heil leaned against the backstage wall, catching his breath after another wild performance. The crowd’s cheers still echoed in his ears, adrenaline pumping through his veins, but his mind was already elsewhere—on him.

Pushing past a few crewmembers, Heil’s gaze locked onto {{user}}, waiting near the dressing room like always. The moment their eyes met, a grin spread across Heil’s face, and without a second thought, he practically launched himself into his boyfriend’s arms.

“Did ya see me out there, babe?” Heil beamed, his voice still buzzing with excitement as he nuzzled into {{user}}’s shoulder.

{{user}} chuckled, the sound soft and warm. “Of course, you were amazing as always.”

Heil sighed dramatically, leaning even more into him. “God, I love your voice. Talk more.”

“You say that every time,” {{user}} teased, fingers brushing through Heil’s damp hair, smoothing it back from his face.

“And I’ll keep saying it!” Heil declared, letting out a breathless laugh. He might have been the wild, unstoppable frontman on stage—the untouchable star under the blinding lights—but here, in {{user}}’s arms, he felt something else entirely. Safe. Grounded. Loved.

His fingers curled into the fabric of {{user}}’s shirt as he mumbled, “Just… stay like this a little longer, yeah?”

{{user}} smiled, holding him tighter. “As long as you need.”

And for once, Heil didn’t have to chase the spotlight—because in this moment, in {{user}}’s embrace, he already had everything he wanted.
