Yeet skeet

So I listened to the two new songs, Hiding in Your Hands and Obvious

This one is obviously based off of obvious

It's gonna be a n g s t y I guess???

They're at the school talent show, and Evan and Connor have been friends for a while.

Okay. So I finished writing it and it turned out way darker than I expected, so please stay safe while reading this. I'll put a mark where you should stop before it gets bad.

Please correct me if I get anything wrong or make any mistakes. Feel free to request a one shot.  Lmao saying that feels weird considering everything is about to turn to s h i t

TW: Suicide

Connor's POV

I sneaked in through the auditorium doors and gazed out into the sea of people, searching for a seat.

I had no luck.

Every seat was taken, the auditorium filled to the brim. So I decided to stand towards the back, out of sight.

"Next up, Evan Hansen, singing his own original song!" One of the talent show hosts announced from off-stage. Everyone applauded politely, except for me and Jared (who was somewhere in the crowd). I whistled while he screamed, "YAAAS EVAN!"

Evan shot an embarrassed glare in Jared's direction before fixing the mic.

"I w-would like to d-dedicate t-this song to s-someone v-very special to m-me," He smiled. "They k-know w-who they a-are."

Hope ignited in my chest like a tiny flame, precious and fragile.

He fiddled with the guitar strap, Heidi's old guitar, the guitar he had come to me with and begged me to teach him how to play weeks prior. Then he started strumming.

"When we know something is true, beyond question or doubt. There's no particular point in pointing it out," Evan started to sing, his face turning red and his eye squeezed shut. I could see the way his whole body trembled, and my heart ached.

"Blue is the color of sky. Mothers all worry, and old people die. A phone rings, a bee stings, it's something you don't need to hear. It's just clear."

He opened his eyes and searched for someone in the crowd.

"Why go stating the obvious? It's so painfully obvious. How could you miss, something that's this plain to see?"

My face heated up as my heart thundered in my chest. The tiny flame of hope had turned into a full fire, making me feel warm inside. It was too late to try and stomp it down.

"When it's glaring, and staring right at you, so obviously."

Evan couldn't be talking about me. I didn't want to be let down. But it was possible, wasn't it? That this song was dedicated to me? That for once something was going right?

"When you get bored you draw stars on the cuffs of your jeans. You still fill out quizzes you find in those teen magazines. And you dance like nobody's there. Awkward and perfect, you don't even care. Something courageous, amazing, contagious, and kind. All combined."

My heart dropped.

The fire in my chest didn't make me feel so fuzzy and warm anymore. It burned. It burned. Just like the tears building behind my eyes. I could feel my throat tightening and I wanted to disappear. But I couldn't. I was rooted to the auditorium floor.
