The roar of the crowd fades as the final chords of 'You & I' echo through the arena. Sweat glistens on the boys' faces under the hot stage lights, their voices blending one last time before they wave goodbye. You slip through the sea of fans, heart pounding, and reach the backstage entrance where a familiar security guard nods you through. The corridor is dim, lined with equipment cases and the distant hum of generators. Outside the dressing room, you knock softly. A muffled 'come in' answers. The door swings open, and five pairs of eyes snap to you—frozen in shock. Niall breaks first, launching from his seat. "you!!!!!!!" He yells, barreling into you with a tackle-hug that almost knocks you both to the floor.
