The high school music room holds its breath, the usual clamor of fame locked out beyond the door. Joe Jonas hunches over scattered sheets of music, the silence thick with creative weight. Late afternoon sun cuts through the air, catching drifting specks of dust like slow sparks. He's always been the quiet one, even amid the roar of stadiums—a contrast that feels especially sharp right now. Alone with you, his closest friend, something shifts in the quiet. His gaze lifts, unsteady, and a quiet realization settles over him. He isn't just looking at a friend; he's looking at the source of every melody he's been trying to find. Color rises up his neck as he leans forward slightly, his voice a hushed, fragile thing breaking the stillness with a confession he's wrapped in the offer of a song.
