“There's something tragic, but almost pure
Think I could love you, but I'm not sure…”

Damien sighed, rolling over and gazing out the window at the dark sky. I don’t even have his number…

@Skylark

His eyelids grew heavier and he found himself drifting off, thoughts still in Eric and their barely-there kiss.
“Life is not a love song we can try
To fix our broken pieces one at a time…”

@Skylark

“God, I hope he doesn’t really hate me…” Damien mumbled to himself as he drifted to sleep. I actually like him… so much… damn…

@Skylark

Damien walked in with Kari, immediately searching for blue hair. He hadn’t seen Eric in a couple weeks, not since that night. Unfortunately, Kari had noticed his search.

“Dude. I could just get his number from Jack for you, then you could be guaranteed communication.”

“I want to talk in person, Kar.”

@CWPoofToxicRush

Eric bit his lip as he walked in, feeling tense. It's been a few weeks, and he had been uncharacteristically quiet. He had thrown himself into writing to avoid thinking about what happened. On the bright side, they had a lot of new material for that night.

"Dude, I could give you his number."

"Jack, please shut the fuck up."

@Skylark

Damien knew This Riot was playing that night, so he knew Eric would have to be there. He didn’t know what he’d saw if he actually saw Eric, but he just… wanted to know if he’d completely ruined whatever it was they’d started to have.

“Dami, I see them. Jack and Eric just walked in!”

Oh shit. He’s here. C’mon, Faust, go talk to him. But what if he does hate me?

@CWPoofToxicRush

"He's over there!" Jack whispered, grinning.

"Jack, you're my best friend, I love you, but please shut the fuck up. Whatever we had going, I fucked it up.

@Skylark

“Kar, I don’t know what to say! How the fuck do I even approach him?”

“Come with me like I’m just going to say hi to Jack, you can test the waters.”

“Okay…”

Damien nervously followed Kari over to where she had spotted the others.

Oh god oh god oh god

@Skylark

“Hey, Jackie!” Kari called cheerfully, dragging Damien over with her. “You ready for your set?”

While Kari chatted with Jack, Damien looked over at Eric. His heart felt like it was in a straight jacket, aching and trapped.

“H-hey, man”

@Skylark

“Yes, thank God! The stand-in wasn’t bad, but they messed with our sound.”

Damien bit his lip anxiously and shrugged. “Not much, just band stuff” and constantly thinking about you and that kiss and how I fucked up “How ‘bout you?”

@Skylark

“Yeah…” C’mon, Faust. You know this has to happen sometime- “After our sets, could we- I mean, um- could we talk?” I need to understand…

@Skylark

“Thanks, man,” Damien’s grin softened. Okay, that wasn’t too bad…

After warming up for their set, Damien and the rest of The Spades greeted the audience and started their first song. He had written part of it the night Eric had helped him home.

“I’m going going going going gooone”

@Skylark

Damien searched the audience as he sang, hoping to spot Eric.
“’Cause it hurts everywhere, but there’s nothing wrong
It’s like I’m a broken record, stuck on the same damn song…”

@Skylark

When he finally spotted Eric, he looked him in the eye, now singing the song to him.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay, I’m fine.
Does it even really matter if I’m out of my mind?
Every time I see you, I think I might die,
Could I ever call you mine?”

@Skylark

They finished the song, and continued into the next, Damien never taking his eyes off Eric.
Please understand, please…

“I’m bleeding out,
so if the last thing that I do
is bring you down
I’ll bleed out for you”
