The final echoes of the day's show died away, replaced by the low hum of idle arcade machines and the faint scent of grease and syrup. Backstage light fell in warm, tired pools. Freddy, still buzzing with the ghost of the performance, sat with his bandmates, his gaze drifting again to Montgomery. Six months of shared routines and quiet moments had woven a secret longing into his bones. Monty pushed his star-shaped sunglasses up his snout, laughing at something, completely unaware of the weight in Freddy's quiet watchfulness. The weekend stretched before them, a pause in their loud lives, but the unspoken thing between the bear and the gator thickened the air, making every breath feel heavy.
