Maybe I'll slow down a little with these updates 💕 QwQ
But enough with that, have fun reading this chapter!~

3rd Person POV:

It didn't take long for the voting phase to start. Every contestant walked onto the stage. Some were nervous, some smug, some calm and some were excited about what's to come.

The screen behind them turned on and the host started speaking. "Ladies and Gentleman, it is finally time to vote for your favorite artist! Please cast these votes carefully, as contestants who end up below a certain number will automatically be eliminated! You'll also only have one vote to give! The time limit will be 10 minutes! But enough talking! Let's start!", he said as a picture of each artist appeared on the screen.

Above these pictures were numbers, which most likely showed their votes. On top of everything was the number 500 written in bold font, making it thicker than the others. 'These must be the required votes to be able to continue on to the next round', Asher thought while looking at the screen in front of him only the contestants could see.

Once the host gave the signal, the numbers started changing almost instantly. Every contestant stared at the screen. Ten minutes felt almost like an eternity for most, with a few exceptions of course.

After 10 minutes they all heard a special melody echoing through the hall. "Voting time is now over~", the host said with excitement. The screen changed. Everyone who made it shined with a green light on the big screen. The others were shining red, indicating that they lost. The one with the most votes shined golden.

"Half of our dear contestants will now have to say good bye! You guys voted a lot, and the people staying are your favorites! But there's one person you guys absolutely adore! Let me get him to say a few words!", the host said and walked to Asher, holding the microphone toward him. "What would you like to say to your fans?", he asked.

Asher looked a bit surprised at the host, before smiling brightly but sadly at the camera. "I would love to thank them all for voting for me, despite me being a new artist..and there's actually one thing that I would wish for... Please never forget my mother. Whenever you look at me, I wish you could always think of her.. That way, she'll forever exist in our memories. Thank you.", he said while bowing, causing another wave of discussion in the chat.

<Aww, how cute. I don't know his mother, but I'll search her up right after this stream ends!>

<Upstairs, search for Harley Hayes. That's her name.. I'll also search her up after this, I've gotten interested in her.>

<Is this another publicity stunt? They're doing a lot of these these days... I'm a bit disappointed>

<Upstairs, how could you say that?! He just wants her to not be forgotten! I'll always remember her for you, don't worry cutie!>

<I'll always remember her +1>

<I'll always remember her +2>

<I'll always remember her +10>

<I'll always remember her +100000000>

<Come to this auntie, she'll hug your pain away!~>

<Come to this auntie, she'll hug your pain away! +1>

<Come to this auntie, she'll hug your pain away! +110000>

After every contestant also said a few words, the round was officially over. Asher took his guitar case and walked out through the back door. Once his eyes got used to the bright sunlight, he saw Fergus leaning against a pillar while waiting for something or someone.

After seeing Asher coming through the door, he walked to him with gentleness overflowing from his eyes. Asher couldn't really see if he was smiling or not though, since he was wearing a mask.

"Hello Asher.", he started saying after arriving in front of him. "Would you like to eat something with me at the restaurant we went to last time?"

Asher smiled gently at him. "Sure. That sounds great.", he answered. They just wanted to start walking when his father found them and pulled Asher behind himself.

"Who are you?", was the first thing he asked while looking warily at Fergus. Seeing his father like this, he gave his husband a helpless look and sighed inwardly.

He liked having someone worrying about him like this, and he really appreciated it, but at the same time he found it a bit embarrassing.

So he pulled at the end of his shirt and looked at his father with a gentle smile. "Dad, it's fine. He's the friend I told you about. He's kind and gentle.. He would never do anything to me..", he said and blushed a bit.

He hadn't said anything special and he could probably go on for hours about how good he is and state every single thing he loved about him, but saying this much could already be considered a bit too much by the wrong people, since they technically didn't know each other that well right now.

His father saw his son blushing when looking at him and was a bit stunned. He then looked back at the other person while pondering. His son seemed to like him, so.. He didn't want to see him sad for not being able to go out with him.

He sighed and stepped to the side a bit. "Fine, you win. But after this contest is over, the three of us will take some time to get to know each other more." 'I don't want to repeat my mistake. I'll see for myself whether he's good or not', he thought while talking.

Asher's eyes lit up and he smiled brightly at his father. "Thank you! Let's do that!", he answered while nodding and then he looked at his husband with expectations.

The other couldn't say no to this person, so he nodded. "Sure. I'd love to spend more time with the two of you.", he answered with a gentle voice.

Asher got his head petted by his father afterwards. "Good. Then I hope you'll have fun today, but don't get back too late okay?", he said with a smile.

He looked at his father again and nodded. "Don't worry, I'll get back before it gets dark outside."

"See you later then", he heard his father answer before he walked away.

They both looked at each other after he was gone and smiled, though you couldn't see Fergus smiling, the only thing visible were his stunning eyes looking gently at the shorter person.
