Music Under the Spotlight (Lumity Band Au)

Down to the shop

Amity POV: 

After the intermission, the last half of the show went on like all the rest, filled with the crowd cheering our names and screaming the lyrics as we blasted the songs with all of our hearts. 

And once that was over, I had to warn Luz while we were packing up about the wave of fans that were no doubt going to swarm us the moment we opened the doors. She waved me off, saying it was nothing she couldn't handle. 

Well, once we got out the doors, I couldn't help but chuckle as that was put to the test. 

Luz was instantly hit with a wave of fans, asking for autographs and photos, bombing her with questions about whatever they could think of. And while she did seem a little overwhelmed by all the sudden people, she had a giant smile on her face while she answered their questions or signed their merch. 

Of course, the rest of the band mates and I were also flooded by fans, but I made sure to keep a close eye on Luz. I knew there was a chance something could happen. 

After a bit more signing and photos with fans, my eyes caught onto two guys pushing their way through the crowd and up to Luz. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I could tell Luz gave them a friendly greeting. 

They both passed her a piece of paper, which she quickly signed and handed back. Then, they started chatting. The two of them had this odd smile on their face, making me uneasy. 

I tried to brush it off, but when I saw one of them reach up and flick her ears, I knew it was time to go. Quickly excusing myself from the fans, I made my way over to Luz and grabbed her by the arm, catching her by surprise. 

"Sorry, but we've gotta go." I put on a fake apologetic smile, then started to drag Luz away, who gave the two a wave goodbye. Keeping my grip on Luz, I motioned for the others to follow after me, which they quickly did. 

A faint blush started to rise to my cheeks when I realized how close I was to Luz, but I forced it down. "Those two were pretty nice." Luz remarked with a smile. She had a bounce in her step, a stark contrast from mine. 

"They were creepy." I muttered, making Luz raise an eyebrow. 

"I don't think they were trying to be." She argued, making me shake my head. 

"Still, I don't trust them. They just gave off this weird vibe. And besides, one of them flicked your ears." Luz just laughed, giving me a slight nudge. 

"What? Worried they were gonna hurt little old me?" She teased, making me groan. I gave her a light shove to get her to shut up, but that only made her laugh again. 

We all piled into the cart, practically melting into our seats out of exhaustion. Once all the adrenaline of the moment left you, you were just drained of energy. 

The best examples of that would be Luz, who was sprawled out across three seats within the first ten minutes of the ride back, and Boscha, who tried to convince me she wasn't tired before almost instantly dozing off. 

I stayed awake, texting my siblings and scrolling through Pentsa to pass the time. They brought up how I acted when Luz was chatting with those fans, then they started teasing me for it. 

Once they started teasing, I stopped responding, making them spam my scroll with messages for a couple of minutes before finally giving up and going silent. The rest of the ride was silent, and I caught myself staring at Luz's sleeping face for a majority of it. 

When we made it back to the studio around midnight, the moon was hanging high in the sky. After waking everyone up, I offered to walk Luz home, not wanting her to walk alone and not wanting to leave her to sleep at the studio again.
