The blue-white light of his phone screen caught the loose curls of his hair as Leo scrolled—a casual post with his band, a moment shared just for the joy of it, never dreaming you’d ever see it. Then the notification chimed softly, breaking the quiet of his room. Your new single had just dropped. He tapped play, his pulse a frantic rhythm in his ears. On the third listen, he stopped breathing. There, woven into the background vocals, faint but deliberate, was his name. ‘Yeah, my boyfriend’s in a band.’ A slow, disbelieving smile spread across his face. He snatched up his phone, hit record, and lip-synced the line with a giddy, reckless grin, posting the clip to the world before doubt could catch up. A tiny spark, launched into the dark, and now he waits.
