Kellic Song One-shots

Shine

Warnings: this is also a very long one I'm sorry I'm like a machine of words sometimes. Expect some extreme fluff. Also taller Vic. Also pop star queer sensation Kellin and world famous rockstar Vic. Also some bad descriptions of clothing because that's hard idk. (google Olly Alexander fashion and you'll get the idea because KQ is literally him in this) Enjoy!!

{Kellin}

"Kellin, show starts in 2." One of the stage crew member shouts from the door of my dressing room and runs around to gather the rest of the band.

"Be right there," I call, even though I doubt he would listen anyway.

Show time, I say to myself in the mirror, staring into my reflection and giving the guy staring back at me an encouraging smile. It's always nerve-wracking before a performance, but I'm always reassured the second I step on the stage and hear all the screams from the crowd. It's like I'm transported into a different dimension and all that matters are the show I put on and the songs that I sing. I forget about everything. And it's what I love most about music.

I've always wanted to be a star. Ever since I was little I dreamed of singing and travelling the world with my music. Growing up I looked up to most of the queens of pop and my music is heavily inspired by them and their style, only adding a little more. You see, I've always been open about my sexuality, my identity and what I stand for and I've managed to use my music to become a voice regarding my community. I write about queer love and feature members of diverse communities on most of the things I create, I support the movements and do my best to be that idol the kids like me needed when they were growing up.

When I first starting putting out music I made it very clear to my management team that I wasn't about hiding, and up until now it's been amazing to see how accepting of me everyone seems to be. Of course there's been hate, that's impossible to avoid. But I've put on a strong face and move forward, like I always do. And then I got my first big break. One of my songs made it into the soundtrack of a Netflix movie adaptation and ever since then I've been living a rollercoaster that I never thought would happen. I'm by no means worldwide famous yet, but Henry, my manager, says it's only a matter of time. The thought always leaves me feeling giddy inside. This is my dream. And I'm living it.

I stand up from my chair and fix the blue eyeliner I put on earlier, the wings sharp as a knife thanks to all the practice I've been doing, and put on a bit more rhinestone gems around each eye to complete the look. I definitely give people what to talk about with the way I look and dress, but I really could care less. I'm queer and I want to make that clear. I love everything about fashion and I believe it's the way I express myself better. I live for the dresses and the skirts and the tight clothes and loose ones and colors and fabrics and textures. It wouldn't be a Kellin Quinn show if I wasn't going overboard with my wardrobe and the scenery.

Tonight for example, I decided to wear a skin-tight long sleeved crop top made of blue fishnet fabric, black low-rise flared jeans and my trusty pair of boots I perform on almost every night. I added a huge collar around my neck and before I leave the room I put on a fluffy feather coat which I always take off during Feel You Now, my most recent single and the song that's been topping the charts since its release (I still can't believe that happened either) and give myself a once over in the mirror. I look fucking fantastic.

I walk the small way from the green room to the stage of the venue we're playing at tonight and can already feel the energy coming from the fans. The murmurs, the shouts and chants here and there, the smell of booze and even the smoke. It all gives me life. My band joins me soon enough and together we make our pre-show ritual. Even though I'm the name out there, I wouldn't be here without all these people. There's Jen my lead keyboardist, Ronan on the drums, Will on bass guitar, Taylor on lead guitar and background vocals, Oliver on the strings. They all look wonderful too with their outrageous outfits and I make sure to tell them that. And then we're ready to party. They all go out first and I grin at the screams coming from the crowd. I take my pride-flag-colored mic and, after a breath, I walk on the stage.
