The World-Famous Mysterious Musician

Muffled music can be heard from outside as Eric approached. He smiled and straighten up his sling bag on his shoulder, opening the door slowly and peaked in his head.

"Helloo." Eric greeted, getting in completely and shutting the door behind him. The crew looked at him confused, but Evan just smiled and went up to him, giving him a hug.

"You need me?" He asked Evan. Evan only grinned and pulled away from the hug.

"Well, I just need you to take me home." Evan said as Eric raised his eyebrows at him.

"Why?"

"I have my reasons." Eric felt like he had other plans for him, that's why he called for help. Then suddenly he's being pulled up the stage to Evan's friends.

"Guys this is Eric, Eric this is my friends." After the crew introduced themselves, Eric just nodded at them with a smile and looked at Evan who was grinning mischievously. The crew still not knowing that he is the world-famous mysterious musician.

"So what did you really need me for?" He asked, crossing his arms on his chest and looked at Evan with a strict expression. Evan walked up to Craig and asked to borrow his (electric) guitar, giving it to Eric who is confused as hell.

"Can you play please?" Eric furrowed his eyebrows at the male. Evan made a puppy face which made everyone chuckle, except Eric who only sighed and took the guitar knowing that he won't stop if he gets what he wants.

"Can I borrow a loop pedal?" Eric asked and Craig nodded, handing him the pedal. He thanked him and get the guitar and loop pedal ready, then he started playing the Free Bird (1/69 of the solo xD). Looping the background music first.

~~~Play the vid in 7:55-8:46, also ignore the random guys complementing him~~~

The guy's jaws (except Evan) fell to the floor when he started playing, his fingers going in a fast pace as he almost got lost in the music then it came to an end. Evan smiling all the time, finally hearing him play the guitar in person after so long they have lived together. Eric handed the guitar and loop pedal to the shocked Craig whose still in awe.

"Happy now?" Evan nodded repeatedly. After they came back to their senses, they showed the pro musician their performance for the concert. Eric smiling in the beginning to the end. When it ended he clapped his hands loudly, pretending to wipe a tear off of his 'sad' face.

"My Evy is growing up so fast." He only received an eye roll from the singer and laughs from the crew. After they're done with their practice, Eric escorted Evan and his friends but mostly Evan.

---------------------------------------------------

"You're playing as a mysterious singer for the band, huh." Evan nodded at Eric's statement as they wiped the tables with a dry piece of cloth. They're just cleaning the café before closing it up for the day.

"Why?" Eric asked, seeing Evan stop his movements in the corner of his eye.

"I'm the most 'untalented' guy in school. I can't just show my face as the singer of The Dreamers, I don't want the crew to go down with me. And besides, I have anxiety." Eric stopped what he was doing and look at Evan who's almost tearing up.

"What do you mean by 'taking the crew down'?" He questioned and Evan got back to his work, his eyes not tearing up anymore. Instead it turned into dull brown, like he's remembering some memories.

"The audience (or students) and teachers are the judges. If they saw me, especially my bullies, they'll just humiliate the guys with me. I don't want that. And they won't vote for us because I'm in the picture, not even bothering if our performance is good." Evan explained putting the piece of cloth in his apron pocket, grabbing a broom and started to sweep the tiled floor that's covered in dusts.

"The teacher will still vote you guys, or not."

"That's the point. If they don't vote for us either, then they'll be sad. They believe in me, I don't want to disappoint them." Evan said, heading to the locker room to put in the apron in his locker. Eric sighed. Ever since Evan's father died, he started to discourage and hate himself. His Father was the only light in his life when his mother abandoned them for a rich man she met. Evan came out of the locker room with his headphones to his ears connecting to his phone. A bag also slinging over his shoulder.

"I'll go now. Bye Eric." Evan said, fixing the headphones and walked out the café with his hands in his pockets.

'I hope you'll meet the one who'll make you happy, Evan. That one person that will let you feel love and happiness.'

---------------------------------------------------

"And why are you here?" Evan asked the male beside him. The crimson eyed male chuckled nervously, putting his hands in his jean pockets.

"I just coincidentally walked by here, so I thought about walking you home." Luke explained as he hears a little bit of Evan's music through the quiet night air.

"You take night walks, huh. And what do you think I am? A girl who will get raped in the dark if she walked home in the night?" Evan said straight fully. Not caring if some girls heard him (which is impossible because it's night time) and got triggered at what he said.

"Wow, so straight forward into saying that." Evan ignored him and listened to his song until they reached his front porch. Evan wrapped the red headphones around his neck, looking up to the taller man. His brown dull eyes somehow sparkled in the night as the moon reflected in them like a mirror. Evan's pink lips opened to say something to Luke but closed it when he got cut off.

"I'm sorry, Ev! I can't control myself anymore!" Luke yelled making Evan confuse.

"What do you me-" Soft lips collided with his making his eyes widened. His heart unconsciously beating so fast that he can hear it in his ears loudly.

'What's happening?'
