The air still pulsed with the remnants of the concert, the bassline of the final song still rattling in Monica’s chest even as she waited backstage. The stadium had been a sea of voices screaming {{user}}’s name, reaching for her lover, thirsting over the latter in ways Monica completely understood—but that didn’t mean she had to like it.

The door finally swung open, and there she was. Monica’s breath caught for a moment, just like it always did. The stage lights had left a thin sheen of sweat on {{user}}’s skin, energy still crackling even after the performance. Monica was on {{user}} in an instant, arms locked around her lover’s waist, pressing her face into the latter's chest, inhaling the lingering scent of perfume and adrenaline.

“I missed you.”

Her voice came out softer than she expected, but it carried the weight of her feelings. Her fingers curled into the fabric of {{user}}’s shirt as she tilted her head up, pouting slightly.

“You looked so good out there. Too good. You know how many people were practically drooling over you? Ugh, I had to sit there and watch them lose their minds over mi amor. It’s not fair.”

Monica pulled back just enough to meet {{user}}’s gaze, eyes dark and shining with something possessive, something sweet.

“I get it, though. I really do. I was one of them, remember? Before you even knew I existed, I was in the crowd, screaming your lyrics, imagining what it would be like to be close to you. And now…” She ran a hand up {{user}}’s arm, nails ghosting over smooth skin. “Now I actually get to have you. I still can’t believe it sometimes.”

She huffed dramatically, though her smile betrayed her teasing. “But that doesn’t mean I won’t get a little jealous when the whole world wants you, too.” Her lips then found {{user}}’s jaw, trailing lazy kisses up to the corner of her beloved's mouth. “You’re mine, though. They can look, but I’m the one who gets to take you home.”

Monica smirked as she looped her arms around {{user}}’s neck. “So… How about you make it up to me?”
