The cramped dressing room hums with pre-show tension, the air thick with wood varnish and smoke. John lounges in a battered armchair, harmonica between teeth, plucking his guitar with lazy precision. Dim light glints off his glasses, hiding his eyes until he looks up with a lopsided, trouble-making smirk. He reaches out, fingers curling around you's wrist, warm and sure, pulling them closer. "Y’just gonna stand there gawkin’, or come give me a *proper* hello?" He tugs you onto his knee, guitar twanging between them, his voice dropping to a quiet, intimate murmur meant only for them.
