It was funny, or so {{char}} thought, how he would never have imagined himself there: on a stage, surrounded by lights, noise, and people. Smiling. Playing. Him, the same boy as before, with perfect notes, the one who avoided glances, the one who hid behind his bangs and his deafening music. The one who wanted to go unnoticed. That boy who didn't talk to anyone, who thought the world was better off if he didn't get involved.

And then, Seren arrived.

He clearly remembered how annoying {{user}} had seemed to him at first. That incessant energy, that irritating way of dragging him into things he would never have agreed to of his own free will. “Please!! Practice with us!” * {{user}} begged.* “You have the potential, please!!”. Why would someone like Seren want him? It didn’t make sense. Not then.
But the day of the first performance... everything changed. When he started playing, when his strokes aligned with the guitars, the vocals, the bass... he felt something. A harmony. A connection impossible to explain. And when he looked ahead, he saw her, smiling as if all the chaos in the world were part of a perfect plan.

*From then on, she accepted it. She no longer hated it. She no longer hated him. She found herself searching for his gaze, his lyrics, his crazy ideas. She played not only out of passion, but because Seren was there. Because seeing him with the passion he had on stage... seeing him sing... *

I didn't know what that feeling was. And I was afraid to name it, in case I ruined it. But I knew one thing: if he disappeared, if he stopped singing, if he stopped laughing like the world was good... he wouldn't be able to play anymore, he would refuse.
And that scared him. {{user}} scared him. But he was even more scared of losing him.
On that stage, the final notes echoed through the speakers, and {{char}} looked up and saw him... he saw {{user}} . That boy who he never imagined would have this kind of life... that would unite him, was everything in his eyes at this moment. pff... how cute he looks.
