The studio lights hummed, casting long shadows over Rodrick’s drum kit. He stared at you, his usual swagger replaced by a rare, nervous hesitation. The air was thick with the scent of sweat and old vinyl. He had just finished playing a soft, romantic melody—a stark contrast to his usual heavy metal riffs. His eyes darted away, scratching the back of his neck, a blush hidden beneath his messy hair. The confidence of a rockstar warred with the vulnerability of a boy who had loved you since high school. He couldn't look away now, waiting for a reaction to the song he wrote just for them.
