Fame Crazy (Sequel to Strings Attached)

Chapter 73

A/N: I'm only going to have lyrics for one song in here, and I'm working on guitar chords for it. The only problem is, I don't really play guitar. Eventually, I'm hoping to at least finish the song and play it, and if/when I do, I'll record it and put it here. Until then, you're stuck with just lyrics.

Castiel struts onstage to the same song he has for the rest of his concerts. The difference is, he couldn't wipe the smile off his face even if he tried. Finally, his first Sioux Falls concert of the tour is here.

He sings his song, ending at the front of the stage at what he thinks is center, just as he had blocked out much, much earlier. He looks out at the audience with a grin, listening to them cheering.

He looks down to see Lucifer jumping up and down excitedly. He's coming back tomorrow to videotape it got YouTube, but for today, he's just here to enjoy it.

With him are Sam and Gabriel, who conveniently don't have classes on Fridays. They had left California that morning, but not soon enough to catch him before the concert. They're flying back on Sunday, so he won't get much time with them, unfortunately, but it's the thought that count. He got to hang out with them the week before while he was on California, at least.

The rest of the family is there as well. Michael, Anna, Claire, and Adam are all standing there with them. Anna has her phone out to take pictures and videos for social media, but Claire is defying stereotypes by just being there to enjoy the show.

He winks at them, and the audience cheers louder, assuming the wink was for all of them. He waits for them to quiet down before speaking into the headset's microphone. The only time he uses an actual microphone is when he plays guitar while singing, which the headset doesn't pick up very well.

"What's up, Sioux Falls?" Castiel asks loudly, earning more cheers. He has to wait for them to calm down before continuing. "Well, this is a first." He points to the sky. "Sun. In Sioux Falls. During my concert. If that's not the sign of a good day, I don't know what is." He's referencing how it always seems to rain when he's performing here; usually just sprinkles but twice now it's straight up poured. It's a nice change. Of course, the sun is already beginning to set, so it won't last long, but at least he won't get wet.

He goes through his concert as per usual, following his script basically to the word. Finally, it's time for the unreleased songs portion of this concert. He waits for everyone to calm down after he finishes his song before speaking, slowly walking towards the front of the stage as he talks.

"Sioux Falls will always hold a special place in my heart," he tells them. "It was my home for eighteen years, after all. Anyone who's been to my Sioux Falls concerts before knows what time this is, and they know the rules." People cheer when they realize what's coming, so he waits for them to calm down. "This is the part of the concert I'm never quite sure about. It seems like most of you know every word to all my songs, maybe even better than I do myself." And cheering.

"But this is the part where we switch it up a little bit. The only people who have ever seen or heard these songs are me and my brother, who picked them out this year. If you like them, I wrote them. If you don't like them, just remember Lucifer picked them and don't get mad at me." This earns some laughs, despite being a bad joke.

"With that being said, these songs are very personal, so, as always, I'm going to ask that you put your phones and cameras away. What happens in Sioux Falls stays in Sioux Falls. Plus, how cool is it to know that you know parts my mind that people who aren't here right now will never get to see?"

This earns some cheers, and he hopes people take the wait time to put their phones away. He really doesn't want anyone to record this; especially not his song about Dean. He'd rather no one know about it, but if these thousands of people do, he'd at least like to keep it to just them.
