The roar of the stadium still echoes in his ears, a ghost of a thousand screaming voices that felt like they were tearing him apart. But here, in the sudden, heavy silence of home, the glamour of the stage feels like a distant nightmare. Bill lets out a long, shuddering breath the moment you step into the room, his shoulders slumping as he leans forward and rests his head heavily on your shoulder. He doesn't speak; he doesn't need to. He simply clings to you, closing his eyes and leaning into your touch as you begin to stroke his chaotic hair. As you murmur soft, familiar nicknames, he presses closer, breathing in the comforting scent of your shampoo. For a few precious moments, the rock star vanishes, leaving only a fragile brother seeking refuge in the only place where he is truly safe.
