muse: wei chua [ 30s, leading frontman of a popular rock band --- also open to this having some sort of supernatural twist or we can keep it as regular slice of life if that's preferred. ]
open to: m only pls! muses of color to the front as per usual.
plot: wei is your muse's ex who lost contact with your muse after his claim to rockstar fame. now he's back years later for a rare private concert in his beloved hometown, though your muse was not expecting to attend until their new boyfriend surprised them with special tickets to see the show. at the concert, wei eventually realizes your muse is in the crowd and starts performing their old song.
They always had the power to force Wei's attention away from everyone else in a crowded room.
He didn't want to look over-------------------- but, had some part of him known that this encounter remained far from unlikely? Sure. His roots were here, along with his old love that he presumed dead and buried, and the new man with arms wrapped around his ex was the insurmountable proof that he'd sold his soul away for a separate life where past affections could not follow. And he'd been fine with that. Had hungrily devoured every single one of his vices whilst his band kept climbing into higher and higher realms of success.
Nevertheless, even if he'd been utterly content with his choices, there was still one sacrifice resting in the blackened depths of his chest, and that was the part of him that gazed through his old lover as he leaned into the mic, lips softly parted, sweat rolling down his solid cheekbones...
"Every forbidden thought of you is mine to keep."
High-pitched screams flooded the crowd; this was that love song that had taken fans by storm, the one that had propelled his band into infamy. Although, Wei had never penned it for public ears alone, and rarely performed it live.
Tonight, though, he was defying that unspoken rule, for reasons nobody but one other could guess... and the thrills rolling through the intimate club hit in electric shockwaves.
