@mistletien posed a question of whether polytrix would have spicy time pre-show or post show and my answer was post show because they would make it a game to tease and get each other hot and bothered to see who will break first post-show.
So I was randomly thinking about this and had kind of a laugh. I haven’t written any kind of fic or story in ages so…you’ll have to take it with a grain of salt. It’s Bobby-centric.
Bobby knew that the girls were close, in fact, they were even closer after the Idol Awards that fueled the rumors of fighting and breakup. That was a nightmare to manage but one live stream was enough to squash down the breakup - the girls practically squeezed so close to each other, lingering touches and looks saw to the rise of a new ship and tag called polytrix. Honestly, Bobby thought it was genius and told the girls so - they even blushed deeply at the compliment.
Rumi’s new markings were a surprise and Bobby spent a lot of time making sure she knew he accepted her. He specially took time to defend her using his secret social media accounts to draw out the hidden haters and have them banned on the official accounts. No one insults his girls without consequence.
The Comeback tour was going as planned.
The newly written Takedown, less aggressive, softer, rewritten as a new anthem to take down glass ceilings and the societal pressures of the world on women was perfect. It was often followed by What It Sounds Like to finish out the night. The girls are always vibrating with energy, sometimes gripping each other tightly, often ignoring the staff ready to cater to their needs in favor of running to their shared dressing room giggling. Sometimes the sound of Mira growling in impatience was enough to scare everyone out of the way as she drags Rumi and Zoey, a hand on each girl’s wrist, shutting the door to the dressing room with a thump. Bobby’s only job is to ensure security keeps everyone out.
Bobby has stopped wondering why they stay so long in their dressing room after the concert. He figured it was just a new tradition similar to their pre-show snacking. He simply ensures they have the water, towels, pillows and snacks requested along with the number of the driver on call that will eventually take them to the penthouse of the hotel they are staying at for the night. Signed NDA from the driver, tinted windows, privacy barrier, soundproof - everything the girls asked for.
He also knew to stock up on more snacks and recovery drinks for their penthouse suite. After the one time he dropped in before noon and found Rumi burritoed and Mira and Zoey awkwardly dressed in random clothes, he realized he should never stopped by that early again. (Little did he know that had he looked up from his phone merely seconds before he did, it would have become very difficult to look any of the girls in the eyes ever again.) He made sure flights and travel plans were made for late afternoons.
Bobby usually hears from them a little before 1 PM with a text thanking him for the snacks and drinks followed by a quick selfie - although one time, he got a video call that was clearly accidental.
His Hello was drowned out by a moan from Zoey. He wasn’t sure what to do until Mira’s panicked face appeared on the screen explaining that Rumi was giving Zoey a massage. After some shuffling in the background, Rumi and Zoey appeared on the screen, disheveled. It was then that Bobby noticed matching bruises in identical places on Mira and Zoey’s neck - a choreography mishap, they explained. Bobby started to include ice packs with their snacks and drinks in the suites. (He didn’t notice Rumi’s deep blush as Mira and Zoey smirked, secretly enjoying the idea of being claimed).
Polytrix continued to trend - the girls seem fine with it so Bobby left it alone. Bobby loves his girls and so long as they are happy and the fans are happy - he really didn’t need to get involved. But if they ever seriously asked him about it - Bobby would have told them that he loves them no matter what.
