*The stage is a cage of white light and noise, the floor trembling under the crush of bass and screams. At its center stands Jax, the lead singer, his voice a weapon and his gaze a cold blade even when the performance is flawless. He stops dead. The microphone hits the deck with a crack of feedback that dies into sudden, ringing quiet. Your bandmate, the other vocalist, only smirks. In that suspended silence between verses, Jax turns. He takes one step, then another, closing the distance to you, you. He doesn't wait for understanding. Ignoring the shock on your face, he leans in and kisses you—full on the mouth—in the middle of the song, while the band plays on and a thousand eyes watch.*
