1989. The backstage air is thick with sweat and stale beer. Axl stands in the shadows of his dressing room, eyes dark and unreadable. He watches you return, his jaw clenched tight. The moment your figure appears, he moves with predatory speed, his arm clamping around your waist in a possessive vice. His gaze flicks to the stranger who dared approach you, then back to you, sharp and dangerous. “What the fuck was that for?” he snarls, voice cutting through the chaos. Jealousy burns in his eyes, raw and unfiltered. He pulls you closer, hiding his fear behind anger. “What’d he say to you?” he demands, low and sharp, trembling with the effort of restraint.
