Cameron rolled his shoulder farther back into the wall and let Brady get a good look at his neck, tilting his chin with open invitation. He waited for Brady to get his fill. Let Brady stare at the forming bruise some over-eager twink had left around his collarbone, at the bite just underneath his ear. He didn’t flinch. He wanted to see what Brady would do with it—anger, disappointment, brutal indifference, whatever. "I told you, I’m a charitable guy," Cameron finally said, lazy and confident. "He needed the attention." He smiled, feigning genuine kindness just to see it land, hard, in the narrowing of Brady’s stare. "He was grateful. Couldn’t you tell?"

"I tried dating around, Flynn. It seems like there's no love in the city nor any decent guys so yeah. I'm gonna settle. I'm sick of the whole lonely shit thing. I can't just throw myself into work because when that stops it hits me like a ton of bricks. The reality that no one's there." ( @breakagain-writes​ )

The high after a performance like that was something Radley could never get enough of. He wished that he could bottle up the feeling and keep it. There was no way that life was going to get any better than it was right now. The band had taken off and hearing his lyrics shouted back at him from a sold out crowd was all he could ever want. The show had gone perfectly and everyone felt that as they made their way back. “That was fucking incredible is what that was. Had to be our best show yet. And I am so glad you were here for it,” he leaned in to steal a kiss. Not so much playing dumb as his mind abuzz from the night.

Mika evaded his kiss and took a step back which earned them a bunch of ooh’s from his bandmates. She didn’t want to make a fuss or put him on the spot so she forced a smile towards the rest of them. “Great show guys but I hope you don’t mind if I steal Radley for a minute.” He didn’t really have a choice nor did the band when she walked out the room and dragging him out by the wrist. “First of all, yes it was an amazing show. Congratulations.” She said with genuine appreciation and happiness for him. She knew how hard he worked for it. “Second. The thing you did. The things you said. What was that?” ( @breakagain-writes​ )
