You clapped your hands as the show ended, and the performer bowed.
The others around you followed after your lead, considering you were the one who has to applaude first, or else they'd be assessed as rebels.
You halted your applause, and the ones that followed paused theirs as well. The past performer walked away, and another intermission was introduced.
You sighed, and stood up, thinking about going through the backstage to meet the other performers.
After a little walking, you managed to find the Backstage.
You greeted the other performers, who immediately bowed in respect the moment they saw you. You hated that.
They were terrified of you, that's not what you wanted.
You let your legs bring you everywhere, trying to find the performer that astounded you.
Not looking around though, you bump into another performer. Falling to the ground, you held your head, but tried to sign that you were sorry.
You felt a hand on your shoulder, and felt another on your head.
You opened your eyes, and saw one of the performers, a mute one. You wanted to meet him, but what you were afraid of was because you were afraid that they were scared of you. That he was scared of you.
You signed him your apology, and he signed that it was alright.
You stared at him a little longer, and unconsciously signed that you wanted to be friends with him.
His eyes widened, and quickly signed that he was lower than you, who was a royalty.
You shook your head. "That's why I can't have any friends! I always am 'HIGHER' thank people, but does Ranks really matter!?"
He didn't sign anything for a short second, shocked about what you have just signed.
You sighed, and stood up, starting to walk away, until he held your wrist.
You looked back at him, on guard.
He was looking down, then looked up at you, a small blush on his face. (He's just embarrassed he acted that and this way towards royalty.)
You Looked at him with a confused face, not really understanding what he was doing.
He removed his grasp on you, then slowly signed. "I.. didn't.. mean.. to.. upset.. you.."
You turned your body to him, your facial expression obvious that you're shocked.
"I was just.. scared, of being judged by others. Judged by you."
"I wanted to be friends with you too, but again, I didn't wanna be judged by you.. and, perhaps, the others."
He let his hands fall to his side, looking down again.
You hesitantly reached a hand to his shoulder, which made him glance up.
"I wanted to be friends with you, but I was afraid. For another reason."
"People have been afraid of me, making me have less and less friends until it reached zero."
You signed, brushing your hair that somehow reached Infront of your face.
The tension was slightly awkward, and you pushed your pointer fingers together.
You saw him clench his hands, and look up.
"I'm done on being judged on! If it's just gonna hold me back on befriending people that are 'Royalty', I won't care!"
He signed, but it felt like he was saying it with a loud voice.
He held your hands bringing it close to his face. "I really want to be friends with you, and I won't care anymore if people judge me!"
He signed, though he had slight trouble because he still held your hands.
The blush in your face appeared, It appeared because you weren't used to being friends with someone touchy.
"My name's JJ! What about you?" He signed, as he held one of your hands and kissed it.
"Y/N." You signed.
He jumped on his spot, a look of glee on his face, as you pushed your pointer fingers nervously again.
He brought out a notebook, and gave it to you, still jumping on his spot.
You realized it had a small writing at the front.
"F-For me..?" You mumbled very quietly, that not even a werewolf could hear you.
You smiled, and looked back at him, tears of joy in your eyes. You ran up to him, hugging him, which made him stop jumping on his spot, and hug you back with no hesitation.
The sweet tension seemed to last forever, until you heard a bell chime.
"INTERMISSION OVER, PLEASE REMAIN OR COME BACK TO YOUR SEATS." The announcer said, which made you jump because the audio was too loud.
You removed your arms around the mute boy, turned around, and brought out your phone, then started typing.
He looked over your shoulder, trying to see what you were doing. JJ let out a small giggle that made you hear his voice for the first time.. but that didn't matter.
You typed: "Hey. Lower the damn Audio."
You grinned when the audio manager immediately typed right after. Their writing was misspelled, not even in order, and you knew they were afraid. Either way you still understood what they just said.. or typed.
You tucked your phone back, and looked at JJ, who had his head on your shoulder.
"I gotta go, JJ." You signed. "Intermission's over."
He smiled. "It's okay! Goodbye, Inamorata." You grinned back. "Farewell, Inamorato."

He jumped on his spot, a look of glee on his face, as you pushed your pointer fingers nervously again.
