A Life With You - BTY VERSE

Goodbye Hedwig

Imagine. You were in NYC in the appartement Darren rented while he was there. You were both sat on the floor on the living room as you did Darren's nailpolish again. "Stop moving!" you whine as you left your hands not to put any nailpolish on his hands. "Sorry" he said, with a smile, probably amused. He put back his right hand on the coffee table as you went back to painting his nails. "I can't believe tomorrow is your last day as Hedwig" you said with a sad voice, pouting. Darren sighed loudly and said "I know. This was so much fun. I just want to do this my whole life, man". You took out the correcting pen as Darren looked at you with confused eyes. "What the hell is that?" he asks with a laugh. "It's just a corrector, not to screw all my amazing work" you wink. "Amazing, amazing...that's what you think" he said with a wry smile. You giggle and threw a pillow at him. "Asshole" you add as he laughs.

The final day for Darren finally arrived. You thought it would be a sad day, but it was more the contrary. Everyone was enjoying way much more the day. The rehearsal and the check up before the show, all the preparation and the warms-up...it was the last time they would be able to do this together. You went to see the show with Darren's parents and his brother.

It was amazing as always. Hedwig was very emotional and seemed to enjoy that night more than the others. At the end of the show, the whole room did a standing ovation, and you couldn't help but to cry. You applauded him like never before, being very emotional. He took a mic and started a little speech. You could clearly see he was emotional too. "Uhm, thank you so much fox" he says as he looked at the crowd who cheers for him and the band. "I wanted to thank John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask to gave me this opportunity, Rebecca and the band for being such an amazing Yitzhak and the Angry Inch. Also, the crew of the Belasco Theater". Everyone cheers for them even more and you saw Darren licking his lips. You knew he were going to lose it. "And I wanted to thank my family" he said as his voice cracked up. "Thank you mom and dad. Thank Chuck for watching Hedwig with me in the basement every fucking time. And thank to y/n, for being the most amazing partner in crime". At this point, Darren's mother Cerina and you were hugging each other as Darren sent you kisses and looked at you with teary eyes. You send back the kisses and try to stay calm, to not be more emotional.

You all went to his dressing room, and after his parents and brother congratulates him, they talked for a little before going back to the hotel because they were tired. Every person of the crew and the cast went in Darren's dressing room, making him emotional every time. You were there, smiling and holding back your tears as much as you could every time. And now was the moment, the moment to leave. Darren took his stuff from the dressing room, leaving a few things on the way to leave a trace of him here. You step out of the room, as Darren looked around and sighed. "Goodbye, Hedwig. It was a fucking good time" you heard him say. He turns off the lights and close the door of the room. He sighed again and took your hand, intertwined your fingers with his. "Come on baby. Let's see what the future holds for us".
