the Dark Side

guitar cases

the blonde haired man took place behind the mic next to another guy with brown hair. Aleksi took place in the back as the lights turned dark.
The first notes played and you were directly drawn to the screen showing the stage. You saw Joel sing the first lyrics "put your middle fingers up..."
His eyes- they pierced through you. Not in a bad way, it awoke something inside you. The eyeliner really enhanced the colour. Even though he had made fun of you behind the stage, it was kind of... attractive?
"y/n, come on we have to find out lounge and prepare for tomorrow!" Elin shook your shoulders.
"Oh- yes, yes ofc!" You answered and locked eyes with Joel once again.

~you walk with Elin back to the lounges. The director had given you the keycard to your room - 431.~
"Voila" Elin opened the door and you saw loads of guitar cases in the room. That's... weird.
Elin caught your eyes and looked in the room as well.
"I guess maybe the production team has given us some extra guitars in case of emergency" she laughed and closed the door.
*I guess so* you thought as you made yourself comfortable in the couch.

"You liked him huh?" Elin asked as she sat down in front of you.
"Who?" You answered, confused
"That blonde guy; Joel"
*he was attractive, I'll give him that. But... we had never talked nor met before* you thought
"I mean- he was attractive but... who is he even" you said and laughed
"I don't judge, I don't judge, I myself thought that black haired guy; Aleksi was pretty attractive as well" Elin confessed and stared at the guitar cases. Still trying to figure out why they were in there I guess.

~you two sit down and talk through the performance. What should we change, should we add something to the performance, etc~
*the door handle shakes suddenly and the door smashes open*
"YES GUYS we KILLED it! I bet we're gonna get the whole Eurovision with us on the dark side" a familiar voice said in an exciting tone.
You looked back, confused over what the heck the blonde guy was doing, with his whole band, in YOUR lounge.
Joel, also confused as hell, stopped and looked at you.
"What the- are you two THIS obsessed with us?" He said and laughed as he glanced over at you and Elin, then back at the band.
"I think the question is, are YOU guys so obsessed with US that you break into OUR lounge?" you said as you teased him back.
"YOUR lounge?" Joel asked confused yet still amused by the fact that you two were sitting there. "Now I don't know what is going on inside that pretty little head of yours, but I'm certain that this is not YOUR lounge, but OURS. Just look at the guitar cases!" he answered as he crossed his arms and laughed.
You looked at the cases once again and it all made sense. They were, indeed, not ours, and not extras - it was theirs. WE must be in the wrong lounge. But- how? We literally got this keycard from the director.
