Heartstrings {Bobby Worst x Bryce Tankthrust}

Cue Outro

Bobby closed his eyes as he listened to the roaring crowd of people waiting for him to appear from backstage, the whole venue shaking from the intensity of their screams. Even to this day, the excited chanting of his name still felt so surreal to him even after years of performing.

"BOBBY! BOBBY! BOBBY! BOBBY!"

The rockstar slowly let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding in and opened his eyes, just in time to spot Georgi heading towards his direction with a knowing smile.

"You're on in two minutes, B."

"Mhmm, I know."

The tour manager gave him a pointed look and held out her open palm to him.

"Don't even try me, dipshit. Hand it over."

Bobby chuckled and pulled out a flask from his jacket's inner pocket.

"Nothing gets past you, huh, G?"

Georgi snatched the half-empty flask away from the rockstar with a triumphant grin. "I've kept you in check for as long as I can remember, B." She patted his chest lightly. "Now, get out there and give 'em one hell of a good time."

Bobby smirked and shot the dark-haired woman a wink.

"You know I always do~"

"Good evening, folks! I'm Flint Dicker reporting live outside the venue of Bobby Worst's first show for his Cue Outro Tour. Many fans speculate that this may be the rockstar's final world tour, as there have been many rumors about him possibly retiring so he can finally settle down with his long-time partner, Bryce Tankthrust. In a recent interview posted on The Stuff N' Sam YouTube channel, Worst hinted that he would be proposing to his Double Diva Divisions sweetheart. Seeing as the interview had been pre-recorded two weeks prior to its upload, we might be hearing the sound of church bells very soon. But with no official announcement from either of the lovebirds yet, it's probably best not to get our hopes up. The power couple's silence about their engagement has us all sitting on the edge of our seats, desperate to get confirmation. Who knows? Maybe we'll finally get it tonight. Back to you, Tina!"

When the cameraman gave the thumbs up to indicate that they've stopped rolling, Flint pulled out twenty dollars from his pocket and handed it to a man wearing a blue suit and a striped yellow tie.

"Thanks for the insider info, Leroy."

"Yeah yeah, just don't make a habit of it, Dicker," replied Luxy with a roll of his eyes.

"Aw, come on! Just think about it, Lux." Flint wrapped an arm around Luxy's shoulders. "I'm a journalist reporting for one of the world's biggest news outlets, and you're the new head of Bobby Worst's marketing team! Don't you see? We're practically a match made in heaven!"

The latter faked a cough as he tried to hide the redness spreading to his cheeks. He then cleared his throat as he took a step away from the glasses-wearing journalist.

"Ugh, fine, whatever. We can discuss this... arrangement another time. Right now, we should probably get inside. The concert is about to start."

"Oh, um, I didn't buy a ticket–"

Luxy handed Flint a VIP pass before hurriedly walking back towards the venue.

"You comin' or what?" He called back.

Flint stared at the VIP pass now in his hand and felt a small smile tug at his lips.

"Oi! Wait up, Leroy!"

The audience erupted in woops and applause as Bobby finished performing the last song on his setlist. The rockstar smiled and bowed in gratitude, but instead of exiting the stage right after, he walked down the stage's runway and addressed his confused fans.
