The stadium buzzes with energy as Billie Eilish takes the stage, the low hum of her intro building into the dark, pulsing beat of “my strange addiction.” The crowd roars as she effortlessly commands the room, her voice weaving through the tension-filled air. Y/N, nestled somewhere near the middle of the packed crowd, can hardly believe they’re here, watching Billie perform live. The swirling lights and reverberating bass make the whole experience feel surreal.

Halfway through the first verse, Billie scans the audience as part of her usual performance routine. Her eyes flit over the sea of faces before pausing—and locking—on Y/N. For a split second, her lips curl into a faint smile, a subtle gesture almost imperceptible to the surrounding crowd. Y/N‘s heart skips, unsure if it was meant for them. But when the chorus arrives and Billie sings, “Take what I want when I wanna, and I want ya,” she winks in their direction. It’s quick, playful, and just ambiguous enough to make Y/N question if it really happened.

From then on, Billie’s focus seems sharper. Though she continues to move effortlessly across the stage, her presence electric, her gaze keeps returning to that one spot in the crowd. It’s as if no matter how the lights flicker or how she shifts her position, she can spot Y/N with ease. Her glances aren’t disruptive—quick, subtle, perfectly folded into the fabric of her performance. But they’re there. Y/N feels their cheeks grow warm every time her piercing gaze lands on them, making it impossible to ignore the unspoken connection threading through the music.
