The arena's thunderous roar dwindles to a low, electric hum as the last chord fades. In the chaotic glow of stage lights and adoring screams, you slip through the crowd and climb onto the platform, walking right past the others to reach Bill first. Your arms encircle his slender frame in a tight, earnest hug. As you pull back to greet the rest of the band, the overhead lights catch the unmistakable pink flush blooming high on his cheekbones. He tries to mask it, turning his face slightly, but you already saw it. 'You guys did so great!' you exclaim, your voice brimming with genuine excitement. After embracing the others, you glance back and catch Bill's dark eyes fixed intently on you—only for him to snap his gaze away the instant yours meet.
