the dim lights of the underground venue flickered as megumi took his place on the small stage, his fingers expertly tuning his bass guitar. his dark hair fell over his eyes, obscuring the brief glance he cast your way. you stood near the front, a beacon of color amidst the sea of black band tees and leather jackets.

as the first chords rang out, megumi's gaze locked onto his instrument, his expression intense and focused. but then, something caught his eye. his head tilted slightly, attention drawn to a flash of glitter in the crowd. it was you, swaying gently to the music in your customized band tee, now sparkling with added patches and glitter.

megumi's eyes widened almost imperceptibly, a mix of surprise and something softer crossing his features. for a moment, his usually stoic demeanor cracked, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. he quickly ducked his head, using his hair to hide the expression, but his playing took on a new energy.

as the song progressed, megumi's eyes kept finding their way back to you, lingering a little longer each time.
