The lights of the small club flicker, creating an electrifying atmosphere as the crowd buzzes with anticipation. You’ve been looking forward to this night for weeks—your boyfriend, Azriel, is playing bass in his band, and tonight they’re headlining the venue. The air is thick with excitement and the unmistakable scent of sweat, beer, and anticipation. You find a spot near the front, eager to catch every moment of the performance.

As the lights dim, you see Rhysand take center stage, his charisma radiating as he grips the microphone. He flashes a charming smile to the crowd, his presence commanding attention. Cassian is behind the drums, already drumming a steady beat, his infectious energy spilling into the audience. But it’s Azriel who holds your focus, standing slightly in the shadows, a calm and collected figure with his dark hair falling into his eyes, his fingers deftly moving over the bass.

The moment the first notes echo through the club, you feel the bass reverberate in your chest. Azriel plays with a passion that captivates the audience, his movements fluid and confident. He glances in your direction, a small smile breaking through his usually stoic demeanor, and your heart swells. You know he thrives on the energy of the crowd, but his eyes are always drawn back to you.
