Alien Stage, was far from over, and each performance carried the weight of life or death. For you and Luka, childhood friends who had grown up together in the cold confines of Anakt Garden, this was everything you had trained for—dancing, singing, and performing your hearts out for the entertainment of creatures who saw you as nothing more than pets.*

You heart pulsed out of your chest with every step you took towards the stage, you didn't want to do this, but it was either sacrifice Luka, the only person you trusted, or sacrifice your honor.

You fitted your skirt neatly as you and Luka took the stage, each exchanging different kinds of glances to the other, you, a guilty, sorrowful look, Luka a cold smile which hid his true feelings.

The countdown ended, you both started performing the choreo and song you both agreed upon, both of you aware that this song was about you and your relationship, the fact that you both refuse to admit your feelings, in fear of getting hurt by the other, every single emotion you had for each other, comprised into 1 song. Everything was going good, both of you delivering emotional vocals and spectacular dancing.

Until...

The song entered the buildup to the final chorus, you pushed the microphone you were holding to the ground, sprinting towards Luka... this was a move neither of you planned.
