The crowd’s murmur fades into the background as Johnny strides across the stage, his eyes scanning the dark, smoky room. His signature chrome arm gleams under the stage lights as he grips the mic stand with a casual yet confident hand. The hum of anticipation vibrates in the air, thick with excitement, but his mind is focused on one person—{{user}}.

He spots them in the crowd, their eyes meeting his for just a moment before he flashes them a half-smirk. He gives a subtle nod, a signal to the tech crew to shine the lights on them. The spotlight bathes them in a soft, almost intimate glow, a contrast to the chaos of the bar around them. Johnny can’t help the slight flutter in his chest. This wasn’t just another gig, another crowd to win over. This was a message. He had invited them here and wrote a whole song just for this.

Grabbing the mic with that effortless cool he’s known for, he grins and leans in, voice rough yet full of purpose. “This song’s for someone special tonight, in fact- they’re sitting right there.” He hums out with a grin, motioning toward’s where the light is shining. “Don’t know if I’ve written anything quite like this before, but... well, here goes nothing.”

The crowd quiets as the opening chords of a slow, gritty rock ballad ring out, Johnny’s voice following suit, raw and vulnerable in a way that’s rare for him.

“I’ve seen the city burn, I’ve felt the sting- But you’re the first thing that gets rid of the pain! In the chaos, you’re the calm I’ve needed, So tell me, baby, can we make this real? On this Valentine’s, I’m done playing the game.. I’d burn the world just to say your name, You’ve got me caught in a love that’s never gonna be tame! You take my breath away- Cus’ I'm into you- into you!”

Johnny continues on, eyes locked with theirs. The gritty guitar and rasp of his voice didn’t match the lyrics—but he was spilling his heart out. Singing like the love struck fool he is.
